"I came in on my way from NYC to Hartford and the reviews did not disappoint. The person at the front recommended the Crunchy Leaves and Sweaters sandwich which was excellent. The chips were good and she gave me a big cup of water as I was hesitant to buy a bottle. The ciabatta break was very good and the sandwich with brown sugar aioli, Gouda, spinach, chicken, and bacon was both unique and delicious. They were friendly and there was easy parking out front. I will 100% come back next time I’m in the area as it’s a large menu to try!"

"(Last visited January 10, 2025.) I've been coming to The Eatery in Wallingford for safe-to-say, years. A few of my foodie friends put me on game regarding this place that's about a 25-minute drive for me, but always so worth it. Here's why I love it so much! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set in the center of Wallingford a little off of the main drag of Center Street is this humble gem. You can park on the street for free if there's space or in the plaza parking lot right up the block from them. Once in the door you're welcomed by several smiling faces and that makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE! This place is predominately made for takeout. There are no physical tables, but you certainly can pop a squat on the benches near the back of the restaurant if you'd like. Service: There isn't necessarily table service since all you do is order at the counter and wait until your name is called, but the people there are so sweet, soft and will just make your day! They're also full of personality and their social media posts are super funny. Lol. Food: I've had several things from their menu here including the Backyard BBQ Sandwich, Savannah Wrap, Vegan BBQ Mac & Jack Bowl, The Hungry Slope, BCB, Roast Beef and more! These are some of the highest quality, made-with-love sandwiches, tastiest, creative sandwiches around! I just love how every several months they change the menu up introducing new flavors for the season so you never know what you're gonna get! Of course the favorites stay on the menu! Value: These sandwiches aren't cheap, but you have to pay for quality. Expect to spend between $11.00 and $15.00 here for a good meal. Then add on whatever else for drinks or sides, but it's worth it. In conclusion, I love this place, I just wish they were closer AND that they were opened on weekends, but they keep the hours tight to allow their employees to have lives. I give them even more respect for that! Check this place out soon!"

"In additional to their normal hours, The Eatery is now open Saturdays from 10am-2pm for the summer and I am SO happy! The workers are bubbly and inviting. The interior is bright, and although it does not have tables, they do have bench style seating inside and outside. There are some great seasonal specials to keep an eye out for. My mom tried the backyard BBQ sandwich and California salad, which she loved. I ordered the Chipotle Roast Beef Melt, but substituted the meat with chicken. Loaded with Cheddar and American cheese, chipotle aioli, grilled red onions, sweet pickled jalapeños on a grilled ciabatta. Will definently be back for another. Their new agua frescos are also a great addition to the summer menu. I got the strawberry watermelon mint - so refreshing. Their menu is large and offers salads, sandwiches, wraps, bowls, and even a donut breakfast sandwich! Highly recommend."

"I think I speak with the majority when I declare The Eatery to be the best restaurant in Wallingford. Healthy, delicious food, an amazing staff, and an atmosphere to brighten up your day. Don't waste another moment fighting off hunger pains. Today can be your day to eat what makes you smile. Conveniently located near I91 and Rt 15."

"1st visit. Ordered take out & grabbed a coffee during the brief wait. Service was efficient & friendly. Establishment was clean & welcoming. I deeply appreciate that they offer tofu. We ordered the “Vito” swapping chicken out for tofu & the “cypress Garden” sandwiches both were delicious m. The nominal price of their sandwiches even included choice of side: pasta salad, apple or chips. We chose the lemon basil pasta salad & it was just as delicious as the sandwich’s. Thank you…you’ve won this customer over for sure!"
