We had such a wonderful experience at Knots Norm! We were a group of 22 visiting from out of state for a wedding, and they were incredibly accommodating from start to finish. They were able to give us our own little private area, which was perfect for our large group. The service was amazing--everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and attentive. And the food was absolutely delicious! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and it was the perfect ending to our quick Connecticut visit. We truly appreciated how accommodating and kind the entire staff was, especially with such a large group. We would absolutely come back the next time we're in Connecticut. Highly recommend! read more

Knot Norm's - Lobster Roll - Seafood Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I'm was driving home from LGA and really need some food but something other than fast food. So when I stopped for gas decided to look up restaurants nearby. What a find. This is located right near the waterfront. The nautical theme is consistent and the place is kept very clean. The staff is really friendly. The lobster and crab roll salad are market price so be sure to ask if budget is a concern. I ordered the crab salad roll with fries and the Italian lemonade. The roll was packed with crab and the fries were hot and crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. The lemonade had just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. It was incredibly refreshing. Anytime I'm traveling from NY and this place is open l, I'm making a stop. Whether you live in the area or just passing through add this gem to your list of places to try. read more

Knot norms is a classic spot that I try to get to whenever I'm in Norwalk. The star on the menu is obviously the lobster roll, which is served Connecticut style warm with butter. It's a cute restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Service speed really depends on how busy it is and where you're seated. You can easily walk to beautiful water views from the restaurant as well! read more

Was brought there with friends. Not a huge seafood fan but they wanted oysters. Waitress brought over a chalk board of the specials and i ordered advertised appetizer of brisket fries...they were out of brisket fries.....I then asked if they had the brisket sandwich on the menu.... but they were out (then why have it on your specials menu with specials you don't have they could wipe off the chalk board?) So i settled for chicken sandwich that was essentially from KFC at 3x the price. Giving it one more shot ordered shrimp appetizer....guess what- we are out of that too. After ridiculing my friend raved about the restaurant, we left. I will never come back or direct business to this restaurant. I would Highly suggest go to BJ Ryans East as a go to not 100 yards away. Their menu food was available. read more

The place was small but food was great. Omg the chicken wings amazing, get it in their signature sauce. Tasty and crispy. I got the lobster roll, packed with meat at market price is about $38 with fries or chips. read more

Stopped in for some oysters and a glass of wine. The oysters were fine, but the mignonette left a fair amount to be desired. We also had a cup of the lobster bisque and NE clam chowder... both had a lot of flour in the broth, I guess to thicken it, and it didn't work that well. The wines we had were good. Really cute environment with a small sidewalk-adjacent patio and bar seating all over the interior. The service was a bit - I guess awkward? - at times but overall attentive and no complaints. We went mid afternoon and were the only people there. read more

I was expecting more given the other reviews. The lobster roll is market price and today's price was too steep for me so I tried the fish tacos. It kind of felt like they took Gordons fish sticks and put them on stale tortillas. I do have to say the slaw and salsa were both fresh and very tasty, but the tortilla was hard and made the meal really not good for me. I'm sorry to leave this review because I was expecting so much more. read more

Knot Norm's - Fish Taco - Seafood Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Was looking for good seafood close to 95 in Norwalk and Norm's fit the bill. We found parallel parking on the street close by. Sit down service or takeout, with a small indoor area. There is some limited outdoor seating too. The clam chowder ($10 as of October '24) was delicious, as well as the lobster roll (market price was $38). The lobster roll was a split top, buttered bun with lightly mayo'd meat. Came with coleslaw, pickle slices, and chips. My friend ordered the fried oyster roll and reported that it tasted very good, but didn't have very many pieces of oyster in it. read more

Every thing was great, seafood was fresh. Lobster was sweet and tender. Fried oyster wasn't greasy. Was crunchy, light and the coleslaw lime and dill are the perfect accompany. The bread is soft and fluffy. The wings were good and messy this is a nitpick but I wish there were at least two flats. The only other issue I had was the table was sticky. I believe the wood finishing didn't cure correctly, this is a pet peeve of mine. But enough critiques the staff was great, food was great. Go and enjoy! read more

SOOO GOOD!! Came here for the lobster roll and they did not disappoint. It was $40 for the roll but they put the whole lobster in it, two claws and the tail. It comes in a warm butter sauce and has a special aioli spread at the bottom of the bun. Delicious!! I would come back for sure. Lobster roll was served with cape cod chips but you can switch it out for fries. We also got the lobster bisque to share and it was also amazing. So flavorful and has chunks of lobster in it. Comes with soup crackers. Service was super friendly and youthful. They're fast and it's a nice place to quickly sit down and enjoy good seafood. read more

Great lobster roll. And celeb sighting on display right across from the ice cream shop

Outside and inside seating available. Food was okay, it was pretty pricey for a lobster roll that comes with chips from Costco. I got the fries and they were delicious for an up charge. Nevertheless, the lobster roll really didn't need the extra grease with the aioli, I was hoping it had like a bright flavor, I was disappointed. It was basically just mayo. No thanks. Service was fine, and it's a cute spot. I especially liked the salt and pepper holders. Gave the place more character. The oysters were pretty fresh, but lacked flavor as we got the cooked not raw oysters. The pork belly roll was fine. Next time, I would like to try a bowl. read more

Best lobster roll I've ever had. So incredibly delicious, but also quite expensive. Service was pretty good and it's nice to sit outside, despite the fact it's on a somewhat busy road. I would highly recommend, but this isn't a run of the mill fried clam joint, it's pricey. read more

Authentic seafood done well! Casual atmosphere, friendly staff, food came out hot and quick.

Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had and definitely the best one I've had in Connecticut! They have a ton of other options that looked great as well - we tried the steak and cheese which was so good and flavorful. The clam chowder was are also very tasty. Great vibes and attentive service as well! read more

It might be cognitive dissonance. At $38.00, I am not giving the lobster roll anything less than five stars. But we all thought the lobster rolls were fantastic before we knew the price. Toasty, buttery and filled with a ton of claw, knuckle and tail meat. The price includes a bag of Cape Cod chips, and tiny cups of pickles and slaw. It seems like most patrons upgrade to fries. Every order that went by featured the lobster roll, so accompanied. You might get a sweeter lobster roll in Maine, but not a more generous one. I had begun with the clam chowder, a bacony broth more similar to Maine versions than Boston style. Unlike another Yelp reviewer I preferred the lack of cream, it seemed to have been enhanced with a light roux. The cup was garnished with fresh chives, it could have been a little hotter. The feinschmeker and LA Portena shared an order of baked oysters and gave them the thumbs up. I had a draft which was identified as a watermelon ale. It was refreshing. A New England vibe in the New York metro. Friendly, efficient service completes the picture. Give yourself a few extra minutes to find parking. read more

A true one of a kind local business. Great food great local ambience. The seafood is always fresh and perfectly prepared.

BEST LOBSTER ROLL!! Plus the shrimp tacos were pretty amazing as well. Stopped here with my family on our way to mystic ct and WOW! We've been in CT for a full week and have eaten many lobster rolls and we all agree the one here was the best! Cute and small inside with a Lovely staff. Highly recommend! read more

Very very good lobster roll and fries. Clean dining room. The portions were just right and I didn't find myself overwhelmed by the amount of food; the lobster was really really good and fresh ; And the wait staff was nice Would return but probably just for pickup because I don't enjoy the stools as seats ; hard when you have a back injury. Obviously that's preference read more

Food: 4 stars (pretty tasty) Service: 2 stars (pretty inattentive) Overall: 3 stars I tried Knot Norm's for the first time today. We arrived shortly after they opened around 11:45 am and the restaurant was not too busy. Things started well enough but the server soon informed us they were out of 3 of their 5 daily specials. We ordered a beet and apple salad to share as a starter. The waitress delivered the salad and said she would bring us some plates. A few minutes later she had not brought the plates so I had to go ask for them. She apologize and brought them. The salad was good, although it had 0 beets. I told another server that our beet and apple salad was missing beets and he said he would find out why (no apology). He also informed us that they were out of the pork belly roll we ordered as well. About 2 minutes later our entrees came. It would have been nice if they told us they were out of pork belly earlier so we could have ordered a substitute. Instead, the substitute entree came out a good 10-15 minutes later, after we had pretty much finished eating. I asked the server a second time about the salad and he admitted he had forgotten about it. He eventually removed the salad from the bill, which I appreciated. We also had to ask for our water cups to be refilled. I do have to give props to the one server (a dark haired woman) who was attentive in bussing the table, but I felt 2 of the 3 servers (blonde woman and a dark haired man) were not really on their games, especially since the restaurant was not particularly busy (maybe 6 or 7 tables total). The food was actually pretty tasty. We ordered the beet and apple salad (which came with no beets), a crab roll, steak and cheese and brisket roll. The rolls are small but have a decent helping of protein. They are served with a big of chips and tiny cups of pickles and coleslaw. The food is a bit pricey for what it is. I would try Knot Norm's again, but probably get takeout to avoid issues with the inattentive service. read more

Soo yummy! Had to try the fish tacos, oysters, lobster roll, and calm chowder. All were super good. Staff are nice, and the outdoor seating is pleasant. A little expensive but it's good quality seafood so I can't complain about that. read more

This place is an absolute gem! In my book, it serves the best lobster roll in Norwalk, Connecticut. My boyfriend devoured the pork belly roll and loved it. Their menu has some real winners. Despite its cozy size, it's a hidden treasure worth discovering. The staff is friendly, however they are often very busy and they forgot to give us menus as we sat down. You can choose to enjoy your meal in their charming outdoor nook or cozy up indoors. Parking might be a bit tricky on the small side road, but it's manageable. I'm definitely marking my calendar to return here before summer slips away. read more

I dream of this place, and when I can come back. We travel from Brooklyn and it's worth every bite. Casual cute little place with fresh seafood and nice service. The lobster rolls are overflowing with tender meat, the bun is lightly toasted and buttery. The steamers had right amount of juiciness and bite - perfect flavors. Lobster bisque - never been a fan - but this is a bowl of liquid gold- generous chunks of lobster in silky soup. Knot Norm's serves food that makes you do a lil dance in your seat it's so freggin delicious. read more

Sooooo was not expecting a local yummy place like KN but what a huge find. Was visiting the area and a friend said you must go eat at Knot Norms. I mean it is basically a take out place, but room for seating inside if you want and we did. The place is super clean and the staff super friendly. We ordered a lobster roll and a brisket sandwich. The lobster roll was incredible . I would go back every day for one if I could. The brisket sandwich was very tender as well and quite good. I would definitely go back, highly recommend and there is a Mr. Sofee ice cream place nearby that you can go for desert. Amazing combo. Don't skip this place. It is a fantastic casual stop. read more

Cute little place. Food was delicious. Service was nice and friendly. We split a lobster roll (so good) and cooked oysters (wouldn't get them again). He got the brisket sandwich (which he said was pretty good, which is huge coming from a picky eater) and I got one fish taco. Let me tell you about this taco. For some reason I wasn't expecting fried/breaded fish, and I definitely wasn't expecting something that looked like an extra long fish stick. I sighed and thought, well, it's not like I'll ever eat here again (since we live several states away). I took a bite into the taco and OMG!!! So freakin' good. It definitely didn't taste like a fish stick. The sauce and flavor combination was an absolute delight. Fries were addicting. This place is definitely worth checking out for a taste of New England. read more

The food was fantastic, I had the fried oyster roll, my wife had the lobster roll. Both were full of meaty fish. I'm a beer guy, and to have Industrial Arts Wrench on tap, which takes some doing... someone knows and cares about the draft beers selected. Great food, great service, great ambiance! We will be back! I can't post a food pic because I inhaled it before I thought about posting... read more

The clam chowder was execrable. No cream. They used a roux to thicken the soup. Just as well the portion was the size of a lab specimen cup. Inedible. Now for the bad news. The portions are hobbit-sized. Glad I ordered a bowl. At least the rice was filling. The others ordered rolls, one fried chicken and one lobster. Tasty rolls but child-sized portions. And the chips? By the beard of Zeus, why low fat potato chips? Did I mention the Cole slaw? The size of a Burger King catsup container. Hard pass. Cannot account for the photos showing lavish portions. read more
