    Really nice staff. The other patrons are very nice as well. Clam strips were good as were the onion rings. Fish and chips were generic. Lobster roll was great! Probably top 5 we have ever had. Parking lot is super tight! Shaded seating in the back is hard to obtain.

    The best lobster rolls in CT and a great deal! The lobster roll dinner includes cole slaw, fries or onion rings, and a small ice cream. Beautiful waterfront views from the outdoor seating in the back.

    Beautiful waterfront deck. Food was extremely disappointing. Low quality ingredients, especially veggies and bread. All of the seafood had more batter than anything else, and while the batter was tasty, that's all you tasted. This seafood shack positions itself as the value/casual arm of Harbor Lights, but their prices are massively inflated for the quality of the food. Food quality needs to improve or prices need to drop for this place to make sense. Do not plan to return unless this happens. Additionally, they are extremely rude and aggressive about their parking arrangements. Would rather park elsewhere than be harassed by staff and threatened with a Barnacle/boot because they thought we left their property

    Was passing through town and saw this cozy waterfront spot. Between the Lobster Roll, and the beautiful patio dining right on the water, I could not pick which one I enjoyed more. The food was fantastic, and perfect location for a side spot right off the road. Stop here for some lunch, and grab an ice cream cone to decompress from the day to day by taking in the beautiful marina views. I will absolutely be back again. Fantastic find!

    Very good, I got the soft shell crab roll and it was really good, the clams are amazing too! They have a shaded area so you can seat and relax while eating while looking at the water. Lady at the front was very nice and friendly

    First of all, I waited for my number to be called, every other number before and after mine was called, finally after making them aware of the situation they gave me what I thought was my order so I drove to the beach to enjoy my food, however, I was given the wrong g order. Here's a tip pay attention to what you're doing stay of your phone

    I love this place and worked for the family at station house, harbor lights, and overtons many years ago. They go above and beyond and get the best quality food. The cod sandwich and lobster roll is amazing and huge! They have the cleanest kitchens out of any restaurants I worked in and everything is dated even the walk in! They also kept all the recipes the same from the first owner Mr. Overton out of respect! They treat there staff and customers with respect too! Someone comes in every day and hand breads everything! Thank you Mike, Carol and Nappy for treating me like family when I worked for you! And I'll always be there if you need help! Love you guys! Jason! 🥰

    Great fried clam strips! Very tender and flavorful. Prices were reasonable, and the staff were friendly. Outside seating has a fantastic view of the marina. I definitely recommend it. Thumbs 👍

    Love to bring my dog and sit outside on the dock and eat from Overton’s! My Mom could not stop talking about the biggest onion rings she’s ever seen. I had the shrimp dinner which was bountiful and delicious. My parents both had hot dogs which they loved. My dog had a chickie nuggie or two and thought they were amazing.

    Lobster COLD, and old looking, terrible customer service! I sat in car waiting for my number to be called for 15min. Finally, I hear someone yell lobster roll and a number. I get food and it’s cold. They refused to reheat, replace or refund my payment. Management said they would be losing money if another lobster roll was prepared or refund given. Hey, but what about me the mistreated customer. The ladies at register claimed they had been calling my number, but not true . I sat in front of place and heard numbers being called, but not mine. Seems like many of these places changed after the pandemic. I will be changing too; where I take my business!

    Nice roadside place offering hot lobster rolls. The bun was crispy, and the lobster was good. Wish there was more lobster, but for a roll under $30, you get what pay for. Otherwise it's pretty good, and they also offer free ice cream with the lobster roll, not to mention covered seating next to the water and parking.

    I'm not one for fried seafood but we had visitors from out of state. They have to visit Overton's anytime they're back in town. So I went along and it was delicious. You actually could taste the scallops and shrimp. My biggest complaint about fried seafood is you usually only taste the breading. Will definitely be back.

    Overton's sits right on Norwalk Harbor.The food is consistently good, offering the typical food shack on the water food burgers, clam straps clam bellies etc.There is deck behind it with picnic tables that is available with plenty of seating.Their milkshakes are delicious btw,2 flavors: strawberry,vanilla, and chocolate.
