Pesto Chicken
Leah S.

Love the family feel of this deli! Kind staff and with a twist on standard deli sandwiches. The harvest salad was great, too!

Ham and Cheese

I really like this little place! It's almost always crowded, but that's because the food is so good! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They really care that you are satisfied and take time to chat with regulars. I tried the ham and cheese this visit along with a side of fries. The sandwich is enormous, so you really don't need the side but go for them anyway. I really liked the cabbage slaw and mustard sauce in the sandwich. They made the dish with a tangy and creamy flavor.

My wife and I have been coming to The Dilly Duck Shop since they opened, and it's become one of our absolute favorite spots in Norwalk. Phyllis is always so warm and gracious in her greetings, she makes the place feel like a true neighborhood gem. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of modern simplicity and cozy, cabin-like comfort. But honestly, even if it weren't such a welcoming space, we'd still be here constantly because the food is INCREDIBLE. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I do have my go-tos. For breakfast, it's the Yogurt Agave Bowl when I'm being calorie-conscious and the Double Classical when I'm not. Next time I'm ready to indulge, I've already got my eyes on the Bravas Fries. For lunch, nothing beats the Rotisserie Roasted Beef Sandwich with 24-hour onions...I'm practically salivating just thinking about it. To drink, I'm partial to the Fizzy Palmer, and their coffee is consistently top notch, the highest quality you'll find. We love this place and hope it's around for many, many years to come. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check out this Norwalk gem.

This place is truly amazing. It's a breakfast and lunch spot that's owned by a son and his mother. The food here is fresh, flavorful and it's absolutely delicious. I came in with a friend today. I had the Pork Stack and it was truly phenomenal. The rotisserie pork was a 10 out of 10. It came with two sunny side eggs, bacon and potatoes that were served over a bed of arugula.My friend had the Classical breakfast sandwich and loved it! The mom works the front of the house and she's absolutely lovely. Do yourself a favor and come and visit.

Delisous and freshly made, the menu has a great selection of food and beverages. Great spot for a quick lunch. The staff was sweet and welcoming. I will visit again to enjoy this cozy little gem.

I had a classical BEG and it was perfect. The egg was just a bit runny (the way god intended) and the bun was heavenly. The woman at the counter is so friendly. I think she makes you feel at home. The decode is light colored pine. Such a nice atmosphere.

Dilly Duck Shop ("DDS") has a 5 Star rating with over 200 reviews. It was #4 on the '22 CT Yelp Top 25 Places to Eat List. I could go through our food order (the breakfast Bravas Fries, the Lemon Fizz, the Special Corn Muffin with honey cream, my son's Bacon, Egg and Cheese) in detail and explain why it was all very good. But with all the prior praise, I don't need to do that. Instead, I'll highlight DDS's next level service. I met Phyllis, who modestly referred to herself as, "the chef's mother". I'll refer to Phyllis as one of the best front of house people in CT. She takes orders at the counter, and then acts as a service concierge for the rest of your visit. Phyllis was more than friendly. She cared. My 10 y.o. son wanted a Bacon Egg & Cheese sandwich, but he only likes American Cheese. He and I discussed away from the counter whether DDS has American Cheese. I suspect, in all her multi-tasking, Phyllis instinctively knew to keep a helpful ear open. I ordered and asked whether they have American. She whispered, "No, but our cheddar is very mild. He'll think it's American." Phyllis instantly got it. If she hadn't whispered, my son would have heard. Since she communicated just with me, she allowed me to pull one over on my son. Which is what the situation called for. There may be one or two other people in the whole state, who (1) would know to reassure me that their Cheddar Cheese could pass for American, and (2) would say it quietly so my son wouldn't know. You know what else? Even though DDS was fairly busy, Phyllis came over and talked to my son, and made him feel special, thereby distracting him from potentially noticing the cheese WAS NOT American. She made me feel special too. And her son, Chef Russ, also came out and made us feel special. Top Notch Service. This will sound made up, but I swear it's true. Towards the end of our meal, my son said "do you think we could come here on my birthday?" We live an hour away, but I'm in. Five Stars

From the moment you walk in, you're treated like a regular even if it's your first time. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are massive, and you can tell they actually care about the food they're serving. So far, I have not been disappointed with any of my orders. I always try to get something different but its so hard to choose because everything is just so good!!! Ive had: The Big Brown Burrito 10/10 The Oh Charlie 9.5/10 The OMG Plate 9.5/10 Hometown Breakfast Burrito 10/10 Tuna Melt 10/10 Grilled Chicken Sub 9/10 (rosemary is a bit strong on it but still delicious) Steak egg and cheese with home fries 12/10 my personal favorite!!

I was at work and craving a breakfast sandwich, so I checked Yelp and found Dave and Charlie's…read moreHometown Deli. I decided to give it a shot, and I got greeted as soon as I walked in. The staff was super friendly, and I ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. It was made on a Brioche roll with a fried egg. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the egg or the sandwich overall. It was okay, probably a three-star kind of thing. Next time I went back, I tried the Calise sandwich, which has chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. I asked for the broccoli rabe on the side because I know everyone makes it differently. I get that it can be bitter, but some places make it taste amazing without the bitterness, so I wanted it on the side. The sandwich was really good, so I'd give it four stars, especially since the breakfast one was just three in my book. Sometimes you gotta visit a place a couple of times to really get a feel for their food. I wasn't really a fan of the broccoli rabe--it was a bit too bitter for me. But the sandwich itself was tasty, with well-seasoned chicken and really fresh mozzarella. Not sure if they make the mozzarella in-house, but it's delicious. It tasted just like you'd expect from an authentic Italian deli. Very good. Third time I went, I tried the Mother Clucker, which has a chicken cutlet, Russian dressing, cheddar cheese, and bacon. I wanted to try it because I'd seen it being made during my last visit and it looked awesome. It took about ten minutes to get ready. When I opened it up, I realized it had melted cheddar, not sliced like I thought, but it was all good. The sandwich was tasty, but a bit over the top with the bacon and melted cheddar--almost too much. I think using sliced cheddar would bring everything together better. The melted cheese kinda takes away from it, in my opinion. The bacon was crispy even with the cheesy sauce on top, and the chicken was nicely seasoned. I definitely plan to come back and try the Chopped Italian Combo. The staff's always friendly and welcoming, and it's a solid spot if you're looking for breakfast, with plenty of breakfast platters and other menu items that might catch your eye.

This is such a better option. The place looked trendy inside. There was self serve coffee and many different types of bagels, I even seen a jalapeño one. The worker was super cool. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a roll with pepper jack cheese and a side of hash browns. It was ready quick. I also grabbed a drink and a carrot cake dessert. My sandwich tasted fresh, my hashbrowns were nice and hot. My carrot cake was soft and moist, I wasn't a fan of the sugar frosting, thought it be more cream cheese like. I wouldn't get that again. Next time Waze makes me cross over, I'd definitely stop here again.

When I opened it and took a bite, it was clearly stale. I politely brought it to the attention of a young staff member, who insisted it was fresh and actually told me I was the only customer who had ever complained about it. That response alone was disappointing, but what made it worse was asking to speak with the owner -- who refused to come speak with me directly. As a returning customer, that level of dismissiveness was genuinely disrespectful. I understand off days happen, but how you handle a concern says everything about your business. I hope management takes customer feedback more seriously in the future.

They have a fun burger selection, ranging from a classic bacon, lettuce, and tomato burger to the KC Burger, which I ordered. Mine came piled with an onion ring, jalapeño peppers, cheddar cheese, and Sweet Baby Ray's sauce on a toasted seeded roll. All burgers come with a small side of coleslaw, pickle chips, and your choice of fries, sweet potato fries, or onion rings, which is a nice touch. The person I was with ordered the Chino Burger, loaded with bacon, fried onions, and plenty of fresh blue cheese. The food came out hot and tasty, and the burgers were definitely thick and filling. My only real complaint was that the burger could have used a little more seasoning, and I think it would have gone up another notch if it had been flame-broiled instead of seared. Overall, this is not a fancy place, but it is a solid spot for a quality meal. If you are in the area or just passing through, I would recommend checking it out.

I completely forgot to leave a review, but this was truly one of the best restaurants I've visited…read morerecently what a place! I would give it a solid 5/5. As a Middle Eastern food lover, I was blown away by their shawarma platter, salads, and everything else on the menu it was all top-notch. I visited New York a month ago and then headed to Connecticut. While there, I searched for the best restaurants and found this fast-food spot. I absolutely loved it! The way they received customers and the level of hospitality was outstanding. The people there were amazing. For me great customer service makes the whole experience and they nailed it. Now, let's talk about the food it tasted incredible. They told me they also serve biryani and haleem and as a huge haleem fan, I had to try it. I'll never forget that taste! I even asked to meet the chef and they introduced me to Chef Bala. He made an unforgettable haleem that truly tasted like the original Hyderabadi Nizami haleem. I asked him how he made it and he told me he's from Hyderabad and does this work with passion not just for money. You could really feel that in the food. The prices were surprisingly affordable but the food was high-end. The quality, the people, the taste everything was superb. Honestly, this was one of my best experiences in years. I'm definitely coming back again, at least for the haleem! Their biryani was also incredibly flavorful it felt like I was eating back home in Hyderabad, India. You guys are number one! Please maintain the same quality and standards you're well on your way to being the best in North America. I was in Norwalk, Connecticut for three days and I wholeheartedly enjoyed your food. The gyros, salads with egg, chicken sandwiches, wings, falafel you name it, you gave 100%! I love the food and service. They also have lamb and beef gyros, though I didn't try the beef since I don't eat it. Thank you for an unforgettable experience keep doing what you're doing!
