Reviews for Turtle Cafe in Westbrook, CT
They serve great food, however when they claim that they serve their famous homemade hash and its straight out of a can thats... unacceptable. I saw the chef take a tin foil ball out of the fridge flatten it on the grill and call it homemade. I could tastethe tin can taste. They should try Christy's to see real homemade hash. Also I've never gone to a restaurant where they chargeyou full price for a refill on coffee. It's a good place just don't misrepresent yourself. Read more
Great location to visit for breakfast. Parking is a little tricky when busy, but there is a little bit of available parking... behind the location. Though it is accessible from pretty much any parking lot in the town center. Pulled pork was excellent,great breakfast option. Definitely worth checking out on a trip to Westbrook. Read more
Talented cooks and best pulled pork I have ever had! Great local spot and friendly staff! Amazing specials for a cheap price.... Hidden gem on the shoreline! Ricky and Lukas are a talented duo, prepare yourself for a meal and a show. Nice open line so youcan see your food being cooked right in front of you. Hard working people pumping out fresh, creative meals! THIS IS A MUST TRY!Turtle Cafe is an absolute institution ! Read more
Wonderful lil diner with fresh and full breakfast and lunch plates. Great menu!
Definitely a hidden gem. We had planned to try another nearby spot for Sunday breakfast/brunch but they had a long wait and I... had peeked at the menu here and the crepes sounded amazing. I was not disappointed the Lobster Crepe was to die for. Loadedwith lobster, goat cheese and spinach and the sauce omg I ate every bite. My husband got the woody omelete which was corned beefhash and cheese. The corned beef was excellent. We sat at the counter and chatted up a few regulars. It was like breakfast anda show watching the chef and sous chef knock out dishes with precision and ease. They were a well oiled machine and I'm lookingforward to going back. Read more
Passing up the gigantic breakfast buffet at the resort we were staying at, we came here for breakfast today on the... recommendation of our dinner waiter (who is a local). Holy cow, what a place. It was hopping! We squeezed in at the counterwhich was prime viewing to watch the chef, Lucas, work his magic. It was a cross between Top Chef and NASCAR. In that tiny spacehe was cranking it all out: fluffy pancakes, the best home fries I ever ate, fritattas, creps and eggs of all kinds. I opted forthe lobster Benedict, done with giant chunks of fresh lobster meat sautéed with fresh spinach and with a perfectly poached egg,while hubby had the amazing hash + eggs. Lucas made sure everyone felt as welcomed as a regular. We will absolutely be back,even if it's out of the way because it's THAT GOOD. Read more
By far the best breakfast I've had in quite a while!! Coffee is strong, just the way I like it!! The environment feels vintage,... like a true hometown dinner, but the staff and food are definitely far from that!! I can't forget to say, the staff waa great,and the chef was amazing. They all have great personality and are amazing to watch!! A must visit, and repeated return. Read more
