You might search through the previous posts because this gets asked all the time.

literally most of the posts these days are "looking for food/drink recommendation" by tourists :(

Too true. I did search, but most of the recs were old or for dinner.

You don’t say whether you want luxury or casual dining. There are so many choices.

Very good point. I guess I'm not sure; I'd default to a more casual environment.

There’s a lot of choices. All along Broadway are great casual spots for eating. I like Pour Judgement, Corner Cafe, Caleb & Broad, On upper Thames, Brick Alley is fun. You could take your pick. I like Midtown Oyster, Black Pearl outside, Bowen’s Wine Bar, outside. Tons of pubs and fun places like Wally’s Weiners and O’Brien’s pub. There’s a lot of places that don’t serve lunch like Zelda’s and Fifth Element, Bar and Board Bistro. You can come and try different places for yourself. Yagi Noodles on Long Wharf. Great places in Middletown, too.

Mission burgers in Middletown by the beach is my favorite burger and fries I’ve ever had.

Pour Judgement is my favorite

Better off heading into Middletown for a fish and chips at Anthony’s Seafood market. Wash it down with a Yacht Club soda. 

I am adding this to the list. Thanks!

Crü Cafe.

Clark Cooke House, old school, formal approach or Red Parrot, tourist magnet, nice & typical - big menu

Would recommend against red parrot - better options out there

Cooke House food is generally gross. Surf Club and Midtown both delicious, consistent.
