Super cheap, classic seaside East Norwalk comfort food! Growing up in coastal New England, most seafood restaurants offered clam strips. This is the first hidden gem in the area that offers them cooked to perfection like the way I remember. Super fast and no frills. Great for a beach day before ice cream at Mr. Frostys read more

Overton's - Fried clam strips and onion rings - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

My husband and I wanted a quick dinner by the water on one of the first warm nights of the spring, and our meal at Overton's was exactly what we were looking for. The lobster was tender and there was a generous serving on the roll, perfectly buttered too. The cod fish and tartar sauce were delicious too. Loved that the lobster roll dinner came with a free soft serve! The seating area was nice, and we had no problem getting a spot for parking across the street. We would definitely come back! read more

A staple in Esst Norwalk. Always great and quick. It's like putting on an old shoe always comfy.

Spend $70 and can't take a leak, WTF. Been coming here since I was a teen, and now I am at an age where I'm fine with spending more for a lobta roll and some scallops... sit on that nice deck... but holy hell, can't there be a bathroom for customers. PLEASE! read more

Had the lobster roll dinner kind of skimpy with the onion rings , Overton's has always been a quick nice summer spot by the water . The parking is tight but the service is great and the food is cooked well. read more

Food 100 service 100 and ambience 100 !! always have been the best since move to ct 26 years ago read more

Delicious lobster roll sandwich was served tonight. It was fresh and hot lobster served on buttery bun! The guy at the cashier was very patient and nice when I asked numerous questions. The weather was pleasant which made eating by water convenient. It was a hit so I will be back at Overton's! read more

Cute little local place next to the water. Quick place to stop and grab lunch. Love their hot dogs and fried clams! This place is a great one shot deal. They offer many different options on the menu, as well as ice cream. Plenty of outdoor seating. Service can be hit or miss. Highly recommend! read more

Overton's - Hot Dog French Fries Fried clams - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

Currently has soft shell crab platter for $16 which is in my book Is a good deal for the quality and quantity. Used to have the best deal in Connecticut for a hotdog and sodas, but moved up stream and pricing over the last few years. Sadly, without changing or improving, the quality or size of the food, Almost 6 dollars for a small loaded hotdog, Sure, hope Norwalk approves the food trucks that would be across the street in the park, which would be most likely cheaper food and a much better quality as this place needs to rethink it pricing. read more

Casual location near the water. Parking is tight but convenient. Burger and fries were just ok. Food is overpriced for what you get, especially the fries. read more

Our go-to spot since we've moved to Norwalk for a quick, delicious meal! I've gotten the fried shrimp platter with fries and the fried oysters - both delicious, perfectly fried and generously portioned for the price! The ambiance is perfectly New England - take your red plastic tray and stare over the harbor while you protect your fries from seagulls. Can't beat it read more

Overton's - Summer day must - French Fries, Shrimp a Pink Lemonade! Can't beat that New England ambiance - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

Worst seafood in Connecticut. Tasted frozen, scallops not edible. The shaved ice was great.

Great customer service. Had an amazing lunch here. Very affordable compared to other places in the area. Great seating area right on the water as well. read more

It's just a fried food shack, custard stand in Norwalk. Which in many visits over many years is good no issues, it is what it is. Problem is they're at times out of menu items on Sundays. This is inexcusable given we're in season for your biz and the seafood you serve. After all these years is inventory that hard to manage? Maybe you need a new manager? read more

Very pretty view and the service was good. Soft-shell crabs and onion rings were excellent. Nice local place.

Service was wonderful and friendly, food was ready super fast. I got a burger with fried onions and fries- yummy and satisfying. My friend got fish and onion rings with coleslaw that she enjoyed. Their prices are ridiculously amazing and the view from their back patio is fantastic. Tons of seating! read more

***BEWARE*** Went there for lunch. Ordered and paid. While waiting for my order I decided to take a walk down by the water. As I was walking a young woman with dark hair came running out of the restaurant screaming at me that I couldn't park there. I told her I ordered lunch and was in fact a paying customer. She immediately walked back into the restaurant and hid in the back of it. I must say this was a terrible experience and not only will I not be going there, I will be sure to tell my friends, colleagues, and customers not to go there as well. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area that value my business. I'll go to them from now on and skip this place. read more

Friendly service, reasonable wait time, beautiful view and most importantly, great food. Lobster Roll was served on a nice, buttery hero toasted to perfection. Lobster was flavorful and juicy! Clam strips were pretty good aswell, Onion rings were a little bit too well done but still packing with flavor. French fries were crispy and lightly salted. Ice cream was dope. read more

Overton's - a box of food on a table - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

I ate at Overton's growing up in Norwalk. I always got the fried clam strips and french fries with plenty of ketchup, sitting right on the water, as the crows and gulls circle around hoping for a bonus fry or dropped ice cream cone. It's one of those places that creates a memory. Here I was, today, ordering the 2 piece fried cod and onion rings. Sat on the dock as the crows and gulls circled and cried. The onion rings were big, crispy, and hot out of the oil. The fish was decent enough but it seemed to be the tail end of the fillet instead of the top of the fillet where the bigger flakes of fish are. The ends were a bit too crispy for me. The coleslaw was fresh, crispy, and generously peppered. Overall, it was a decent meal, but I think I'll go with a lobster roll next time. read more

Overton's - Lobster Roll Dinner - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

if you want gorton's fisherman then this is the place for you. If that's what I wanted, I would've gone to ShopRite got myself a bag of it and at the very least it would not have been saturated in oil and feeling slimy and chewy after reading the reviews I was super excited about going to this place for my birthday Only to be completely disappointment read more

Parking next to or across the street from the store is a bear. Try walking from the Veterans Park parking lot just a block away and then walk across to the park benches at the Mill Pond. The hard ice cream is yum and the soft ice cream and shakes are just as good as up the street and a better value. Service comes with a smile! read more

Stopped there for lunch while traveling on I-95. Not too far from the highway. Got the belly clams and some fries. Convenient parking lot, walk up window, dining deck on the waterfront. Clams were nicely done and had no sand. While the clams were smaller than others that I have had, they were just as tasty. The fries were excellent also. Certainly would stop here again when traveling. read more

Overton's - An order of belly clams and fries. - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

No trip to Norwalk would be complete without a stop here. Clam belly sandwich with extra tartar, fries and a Pepsi. Spot on, right on!

Friendly service and a quick walk to the pier with your food but that's about it. Clam roll was actually in a hamburger bun. Dry and impossible to eat. Clams were like rubber. Wouldn't spend the money there again with all the great options available in Norwalk. read more

Out of the many places ive eaten, ive never been told to give a good review before, let alone threatened. The food is so highly priced I could've gone down the road for the same experience but less. They change prices as they see fit it seems. Im waiting for health inspection to go in there and rip it apart for how grimy it is. The service for ordering food was so mishandled and the girls at the window were very sloppy, and very loud. We can hear you talking inside- outside the window! Everyone was rude and in a rush. Let's not mention that those white trays they hand out are what they use to prep the food apparently? I know someone who previously worked there that said it is the most unsanitary environment they had ever been in, Nothing is sterilized, nothing is wiped down except for outside and they reuse our trays as long as we dont throw them out. That alone is a health hazard. The people who run this apparently also own three other restaurants which makes this ironic that this is the most unsanitary shittiest one. Employs a bunch of 16 year olds, food takes forever and they always mess up orders. Overall, if I could 0 out of ten stars. Avoid getting sick and avoid overtons. Also, I saw a rat as I was eating on the back deck- needless to say im calling the board of health and will not be eating there again. read more

If I had known the portions were this small I would have went somewhere else. Seriously it's only 8 regular sized shrimp in the dinner portion. SAD!! How is a shrimp dinner so short on shrimp? Call it a shrimp snack if this is what is being served. Everything is so obviously frozen anyone could have made this meal, like for 8 measly shrimp why couldn't they be fresh? The fries are soggy not a crunch in sight but the young lady that took my order was okay.. but nothing to rave about but i am truly disappointed as I eat my food I get increasingly more upset about it. I only gave 2 stars because it's edible & again the girl that took my order was decent. read more

Overton's - Shrimp dinner - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

Listen. It's walk up window fried food and ice cream. Don't have your expectations too high and you'll enjoy it for its simplicity. Sit on the back patio near the water for full effect. I have great memories coming for clam strips with my dad in the summertime. Great root beer floats, usually a line and parking is sometimes a headache but you do it for the experience. read more

It used to be a good for a fried food /burger stand. We go often every summer with our boat. It's on the water. Has beautiful views. Could not beat the price. That said we made our first trip to Overtons this season on Wednesday May 18th. We ordered 2 lobster rolls and the were disappointing. First off the lobster meat was brown, the meat was lacking in volume and for the $27 they should fill the bun! The bun and lobster were greasy not buttery. Soaked in grease. The onion rings were also greasy. Disappointing over all- read more

When I worked in Norwalk, Overtons was the place to go. It still is. Great fish, hamburgers, hot dogs, and more. The view is right on the Harbor. What more can you ask for. My friends and I were here almost every week, sometimes, twice. Prices are very reasonable, people friendly. Some of the best fish places in the area can't match this place. They stand out from all. Try it. Not much to look at, but the food is exceptional. Frank G read more

We love coming to this place. We bring the dogs and sit on the dock. The food is great and so is the scenery.Fried Shrimp are really good read more

Overton's - a boat dock with a blue building - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

This place is a Norwalk Staple! I have never come here and not had friendly service. Overtons is a great place to eat some fried clam strips and now they even have soft serve! Prices are ok, the only thing I would say is a little annoying is that they only take cash. Make sure you are aware of that before you go. Usually the food comes out pretty fast and fries are good too which is Important at a place like this. There is no indoor seating, but being out on the dock is super pretty and relaxing so you probably wont care as long as it is not too windy outside :)! read more

Super fast service. Delicious mostly fried seafood and ice cream! Love this spot, local fave.

I went to this place, tried two piece cod and chips and clam roll. It was really good, the batter on the fish was just right and the clam roll delicious. Price is very reasonable and service is great. Next time I am trying lobster roll read more

I would give it two stars for dining in and one for delivery. Their soda is always flat. Their French fries are mealy and tasteless. The lobster roll is decent but at 24.95 it's priced higher than their competitors which serve much better food. The atmosphere on the deck is nice but for some reason in Norwalk you get good food or nice outdoor dining on the water but never both. This place is a miss. read more

I've only ever had ice cream the two times I've visited Overton's, so this review isn't all encompassing. The thing I love about this place is that the ice cream is super flavorful and creamy. It's hard to find good soft serve but they hit the nail on the head. The best part is their super thick and rich chocolate dip. Love love love read more

Overton's - Lol - Seafood Near Me - East Norwalk, Connecticut

I too my family to this ice cream place and ordered a banana splits, we couldn't believe that the girl gave us bananas that were really black and when I asked to please give us good bananas she said "ok" and gave us the same black bananas. If they don't have or didn't have good bananas that day why sell rotten food to your customers, just say "don't have bananas" and I could've ordered something else. very disappointed with this place, never going back. read more

A Norwalk classic for decades and we have always loved it. Sadly their have been a bunch a subtle changes that have taken away from what overtons users to be. The hot dogs are different somehow and they are worse. Same with how the buns are done. Spicy mustard swapped for yellow sadly. And the classic Grape Drink we loved for decades is no longer available. read more

This is honestly the worst food. The clams were burnt and fried to a crisp with only a couple of these burnt clams on a dinner platter. A small Portion of fries on the side. The scallop dinner could not have been made in the store they taste like they were frozen. Very small, and no taste. Would never return here again. read more

This is that kind of place that can make anyone feel nostalgic. Little walk up spot right on the pier . Burgers, dogs, steak sandwhiches, lobster rolls, clam strips, fries. They get 3/4$ for burgers and dogs but this place has character..and the food is good too. Great to visit on a nice day. read more
