Front of the menu

So I come in about once or twice a week with some friends and I just have to say that we love Old Towne!!! The menu is huge, the staff is nice and not to mention to food is amazing!!! Everything they have from sandwich's, Pastas, down the pizza is amazing!!! Not to Mention they defiantly have THE BEST PIZZA in the Bridgeport/ Trumbull area!!!! If you want amazing food, and a great family friendly atmosphere with amazing prices then Old Towne Restaurant is the place to come!!!

Interior
Matthew L.

Old Towne Restaurant is an American diner-style restaurant that opened in Trumbull, Connecticut in 1989. It was founded by Greek immigrant and restaurateur George Kotsaftis. Born in Lapata, Greece, Kotsaftis immigrated to Connecticut with his family when he was 15-years-old. As an adult, he became a restaurateur and opened businesses such as J's Pizza in Danbury and Newtown Pizza Palace. By 1989, he had opened Old Towne Restaurant in Trumbull and cemented himself as a beloved businessman in the local community. At Old Towne, customers can choose from a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes that are prepared with fresh ingredients brought in daily. After 10 years in business, Old Towne moved into a neighboring space at the plaza and doubled in size, adding a private event room in the process. Kotsaftis retired from the restaurant business in 2000 and Old Towne was taken over by his children Dean and Catherine. The elder Kotsaftis passed away in 2024. My wife and I recently had lunch at Old Towne Restaurant. She had already visited a number of times and was excited for me to try the food there. The interior was nice with a big dining room as well as a fancy bar area which looked a little newer. Our server gave us some complimentary cheesy bread to munch on while we looked over the menu. My wife ordered the same thing that she orders every time she comes: the "Old Towne Chicken Salad" (baby greens, gorgonzola cheese, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, granny smith apples and char-broiled chicken breast with a side of house vinaigrette dressing). She remarked, "It's my favorite salad ever!" I decided to follow my wife's lead and go with a salad too. I chose one off of the specials menu: the "Mediterranean Steak Salad" (grilled ribeye steak on a bed of baby greens topped with fresh mozzarella, white beans, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, garlic croutons, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese served with house-made creamy balsamic dressing). It was seriously one of the BEST salads I have ever eaten! We had an excellent experience at Old Towne and we look forward to returning in the future!

I never got to taste my food. Please get stronger bags or better containers that don't leak. I have a 10 minute Drive home...and after a 12 hour shift, nothing is more depressing.

Old Towne has been a Trumbull staple since 1989. Now in its 35th year, and replete with a fresh remodel and an updated menu, the service is consistently good. The inside is deceptively roomy & the bar area isn't overly noisy, either. Perfect for couples and families alike.

Lived in the area over 10 years, today was my first time I went in and ordered a pizza. I was very pleased with what I got. The pizza not only looked good, it was full of flavor. I will definitely order it again. The place was busy for a Sunday night and even with the busy pace the counter person was friendly and attentive to the specifics of my order which the kitchen staff correctly prepared in a timely manner. Happy I decided to give the place a try and add the takeout menu to my go to collection of favorites.

Stopped in to meet with a friend and it was good. We immediately sat and placed our orders. I had a grilled chicken salad which was really good. The restaurant was nice, they had a large dining area.

The menu looks great. Sunday brunch can be a busy time, but waiting for 10 mins to be greeted that put us behind schedule is unacceptable.

Barcelona was good, it has the potential to be great!…read more I've dined here a few times and every time the service is fantastic. The severs are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The general manager came around to introduce themselves and personally ask how the meal is and if they can be of any service which is always a very nice touch. The ambiance has a moody wine bar feel to the front half of the space and the main dining rooms are located in the back. Very nice and inviting. However the dining rooms are pretty packed with tables so it tends to get very loud. The food is good but often times inconsistent. For example the lamb chop I have had in the past was delicious, and during this visit it was lacking flavor. The meatballs were not my favorite in a previous visit but this most recent time they were absolutely delicious. Also pictured is the chicken thigh, and pork belly. The chicken thigh was plain but I think that's the point, it was cooked great. The pork belly was very yummy, I loved the lime/cilantro sauce it came with. We also ordered the half size parrillada done medium well. Aspects of this dish were good like the steak, others like the chicken and the chorizo were juicy and soo delicious. The pork chop lacked flavor and was very tough. The leeks were very tasty and the croquettes are always good! I am sure I will be back to Barcelona soon. I'm excited to explore their large selection of charcuteries!

What a wonderful combination of excellent service, delicious array of Spanish cuisine and ambience…read moreof the restaurant on a Sunday evening. You could actually hear each other in conversation. The waiter was exemplary with a party that had 1 diner a strict vegan ( including honey), 1 that only wanted American cuisine and another that did not want anything more than " mildly spiced"!! Josh, our fabulous waiter was so informative, patient & actually offered to mark 1 menu with all the vegan options. Oh, did I mention another diner has numerous allergies including coconut, pineapple, beef, chicken, and egg!! All of us enjoyed our time together ( family from 3 different states) and the experience of sharing smaller dishes when possible. The 1/2 price special on bottles of wine was an added delight. Dessert including often not seen was Olive oil cake was light, fluffy and moist. My cheese cake satisfied my sweet tooth. What was also amazing is this restaurant was recommended by a 99 year old gentleman at the Jewish home while visiting my mom. Barcelona is certainly a restaurant that is maintaining its reputation for wonderful dining!

NEVER AGAIN! We have been patrons of the Galaxy Diner for…read moreyears, having eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner and stopped last night for dinner. I ordered Roast Beef Au Jus, with mashed potatoes and apple sauce. They don't serve rolls, salad or anything extra, and when the roast beef arrived, it was slices of DARK GRAY BROWN with NO pink, floating in a cup of over salted "au jus" and was inedible! I tried to eat the meat, gave my husband a piece, he said, "don't eat that!" When I told the server, she brought over a guy who I assume was the owner or manager. I told him the meat was not fresh, tasted old and, instead of apologizing, he started BULLYING ME INSISTING HE WOULD CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING BUT THE BEEF, and LOUDLY kept repeating the meat was "fine" and that I "just didn't like it!" Well, NO SIR, yes, the MEAT WAS HORRIBLE and he kept arguing and insisted "is it fair?" to charge me for the potatoes, applesauce and salad. GUESS WHAT? He charged $7.25 for a side of mashed potatoes, $4.50 for a tiny dish of applesauce, and $4.95 for the salad! The salad was bagged mixed lettuce which was thrown into a bowl, bits of wet spinach and wilted lettuce mixed up, it was just AWFUL! So, my "dinner" cost $16.70 with no meat! Now, Galaxy Diner WAS one of our favorite diners but NOT ANY MORE! Unless that owner changes his attitude and cleans up the diner, business will continue to shrink! And IT HAS shrunk! Now we know why the diner isn't HALF as busy as used to be! GOOD LUCK AT ATTRACTING AND KEEPING NEW CUSTOMERS!

If you're looking for good food and some of that southern fling than this is it. It's not too…read moreexpensive , it won't break the budget. You have to pay before you eat.

I've been frequently talking online about hot dogs this year, and people kept bringing up…read moreBridgeport's Merritt Canteen and their "we don't give refunds for our spicy chili" hot dogs. Curiosity got the better of me and I finally visited, just for a chili cheese dog. They also have breakfast, burgers, wings, sandwiches and fried seafood etc. The first thing you should know is Merritt Canteen is one of the very few CT places to score a Guy Fieri Diners Drive Inns & Dives visit. That clearly means something. The atmosphere was clean and classic. Service was friendly and efficient. I believe MC uses Hummel Hot Dogs, which is a quality dog. It was well cooked. The bun was fresh. The presumably American Cheese slice was melted over the top of my chili cheese dog. This part was way above average. Which brings me to the chili sauce. I don't have the recipe for this sauce. So I'm giving you my impression and not stating facts. The sauce, tastes like a thick meat gravy, with a generous amount of hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco added. There wasn't really a noticeable meat component. Maybe that gets electrically blended into the sauce. I don't know, but I didn't get a classic ground beef vibe here. I understand some people love this sauce. I suspect those same people are big Tabasco fans and liberally add it to most of their meals. Me, I'm one and done with the chili sauce. I like nuanced spice. This was not that. I did finish the dog, but my resolve wavered. It's hard to discount the impact of the chili sauce in scoring this review because it was the dominant force of the chili dog. But the truth is, the dog, melted cheese, bun, service, and atmosphere were all good. So I'll score this a 3.5 and round up to 4 Stars.
