    Lake Zoar Drive-In!

    It's a great local place to grab fresh made items and always a great choice for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner! Plenty of parking. Support Small Business.

    Decent burger if yer in town! Friendly crew. The place is small.

    Jr. Zoar Burger w/o cheese

    We've been here THREE times in the last two weeks! It's not much to look at on the outside & if you were to drive by...your first thought may not be to stop. They could do with a bit of clean up or some fresh siding, although I'm sure some would argue it's part of the charm. For me, their burgers are pretty close to perfect. And that's saying A LOT for someone who is very picky about burger. All 3 visits I had the Jr. Zoar burger sans cheese. I asked for it to be well done- and they nailed it. The patty on the Jr. is fairly thin, again, that's how I like them! It's also great to have a burger place properly crisp the bacon! My only complaint is that the buns always seem to be a bit soggy, so the more "freshly made" you eat them- the better. My husband did a double Zoar burger & also tried the foot long hot dog. He really enjoyed both. We tried crinkle cut, steak & curly fries- all really good, although steak was our favorite. Both the onion rings & shoe-string onions were delicious as well, good flavor Prices are reasonable- each visit we paid less than $25. This is our new burger spot!

    7$ chili dog. What an overpriced disappointment

    I've stopped to eat at the lake zoar drive in about four times in the past two months and have been disappointed almost every time but this one was the worst. I used to go out of my way to eat here when I was younger and the food was amazing. I'm not sure what happened but it's not nearly as good it used to be.

    Fresh burgers, fresh sides... everything is made to your liking. The staff here is awesome, he owner is right on site and is very talkative with newcomers to the area (which he knew I was one). Locals and tourists alike dined in during my visit! I even got tips on how to properly hunt for metal while my food cooked :)

    Always the go-to fast food when in the area. Good choices on the menu and the Zoar burger is a local legend.

    A great lakeside hot dog (and hamburger) stand! Just wish they had tables with a view of the lake instead of the parking lot.

    You can order from your boat and pick up if you are out on Lake Zoar. Their food is always delicious.

    Love this place. As a motorcycle rider, I find this the perfect stop to grab a quick bite. Pretty spot right off the lake.

    We recently moved back to the Connecticut Coast after a long hiatus in the mid-West.... Go…read moreCincinnati chili hot dog! My husband decided to try this place, as he loves hot dogs despite my warnings about food additives and blah blah. Well, this is a different kind of hot dog! He takes what opportunity he gets to go to Super Duper Weenie! And I can't even fault him. The ingredients are wholesome, the production is perfect, and the atmosphere/ vibe is genuine. What a delight to cozy up to the kitchen and talk with the Celebrated Chef-Owner Gary & his Team; also to connect with "The Regulars", who adore this unique place! My indulgence is a small of the French Fries, and also the weekly variety of house made Clam Chowder. Who knew there are THREE kinds? Having eaten at Super Duper Weenie and experienced the goodness, we are spreading The Word anew. Great Coastal Connecticut Culinary discoveries are where it's at!

    Small store front with a tight parking lot to start. The staff is friendly, not many seats inside…read morethe place for orders to stay. The cheeseburger is $8 and under seasoned but overall ok. Nothing to run for though. I got the Dixie dog $7 which was underwhelming the chili was mid at best and the slaw wasn't even average. The Hot dog had no bite despite being cooked on a griddle. The highlight was the Rhode Island clam chowder and it wasn't the greatest. Plenty of clams but very chewy. The broth was flavored but not exactly the best. This place used to be on Guy's Diner drive in and dives but it has fallen from those standards. Staff seem to have changed as well since those days. The cashier was amazing but that's were the amazement ends. Went in around 3 o'clock, food came out fast. A plus, but let down in quality. Guess some places can't hold the standards they started with.
