Hook'd on the Sound

We had such a great time at Compo Beach and were really impressed with the food stand there. Everything we ordered was delicious — the hot dog was classic and perfectly grilled, the cheeseburger was juicy and flavorful, and the spicy chicken sandwich had just the right amount of heat. The grilled fish tacos were fresh and full of flavor — definitely a highlight. Our friends ordered French fries, ice cream, and funnel cake, and they loved every bite. The fries were crispy and golden, the ice cream was perfect for a hot day, and the funnel cake was warm, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgent. What really made the experience even better was the amazing staff. Trina was super helpful and friendly, Cook Jean clearly takes pride in his food — everything came out hot and made to order —

This may still be "just getting started" hiccups but we experienced a pretty overwhelmed staff: 45-60 minute delays for simple food, and their smoothies took multiple attempts to get to a consistency that they would serve to us. We got a green smoothie (which we would not order again: weird flavor profile and odd texture) and a tropical one (which was fine for a beach smoothie). Overall, I think they've got to work out the operational and food delivery issues, and then hopefully the weird taste is simply a part of that. Currently falls well well short of all standards that Joey's had left behind.

Sublime restaurant directly on Compo Beach, Westport, CT. Great to have a beach picnic vibe, amazing views and cute seating options. It's all here

It is insane that year after year this place can’t get it together. I wish the old owners were in charge. The longest waits and high prices …all for food that is okay at best. I just don’t understand how they haven’t worked out timing, staffing and efficiency. A real disappointment at such a beautiful beach.

The lobster rolls are all worth it. The rest of the selection is nice but don't expect restaurant quality, or the healthiest of choices. All is still good food for the beach. The fish tacos are really well sized, and highly recommended. I have also enjoyed the quinoa salad. Kids love the soft serve. Plus, you can play some free, old school arcades while waiting.
