Dino's is a walk up to the counter to order and someone brings your food and drinks to your table. Three of us went for dinner and we had sat down for about ten minutes when they brought our food which was delicious. The only complaint was that the fish fillet did not have much flavor. We all ordered the seafood combo and sodas which are unlimited we also got buffalo tenders and onion rings. The waitstaff were all very pleasant. We will return
Just had the best meal of fried clam strips. Definitely well priced and great portions. Will definitely be back on my next trip through New Haven.
Lobster roll was divine! (And I eat a lot of lobster rolls, so I have many for comparison). Friendly staff, too! Will be back next time I'm in town to try the clam chowder that another patron ordered and raved about.
I have been going to Dinos for well over 30 years and have never been disappointed. While I love everything the clam strips and onion rings are my absolute favorites! The staff is just as wonderful as the food!
This was our first visit to Dino's and to quote one of their lovely employees "it is the bomb.com." From the counter to the table the service was so friendly and welcoming. The prices are super fair for a seafood spot. The space was well themed and clean. The shrimp platter was a good size and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! Loved their coleslaw and my husband enjoyed their steak sandwich. They had fun drink options and I followed the suggestion of mixing lemonade and the dragon berry juice. It was great! We will definitely be back.
Don't sleep on my go to Fish Sando. Quick walk in order. Always fresh always delicious. Don't order drive through at a fast food dispencery. Get out of your car. In person.
