Located in Oakdale, CT, David's Place stands out as a beloved seafood restaurant, known for its charming, roadside atmosphere and extensive menu that caters to a diverse crowd. Customers rave about the quality and affordability of the food, making it a great spot for both casual diners and families.

According to Andrew D., a traveler who stopped for lunch, the steak bomb sandwich was a highlight, and the reasonable pricing encourages him to return. Tonya Edelbaum echoes this sentiment, praising the chowder and clam strip dinner for their deliciousness, while highlighting the fast, friendly service and clean outdoor dining area.

The restaurant doesn't just focus on seafood; Jim McNeil found the gyros to be the best he’s ever had, along with tender fried shrimp, making it clear there's something for everyone. Despite a couple of service hitches, like Caiti Appell's experience waiting for ice cream, the overall feel of the place remains warm and inviting.

With a scenic location across from local attractions and ample outdoor seating, David's Place is not just a meal, but a delightful experience that beckons both locals and travelers alike.

I was on the road at lunch time and stopped in. I love local independent places and David's was great. A lot of reasonably priced choices so I hope I have a chance to go back. I had the steak bomb sandwich which was really good. I didn't have to wait but I bet it gets busy.

Large menu with a friendly staff. Eat inside or outside. Clean and fairly priced. Across from Dinosaurs and antique store.

Everything was delicious. We had chowder, clam strip dinner, and a keilbasa sandwich. Even the coleslaw and tarter were extra tasty. The service was fast and friendly, outdoor area clean and attended to, and the food was great!

Cute little roadside food joint. Got a fried clam strip roll, coleslaw, and onion rings, with a soft serve cone afterwards. Tasty and cooked to perfection. I got the same thing last year and the clam strips were not as good as this time, so For that I was appreciative. The only reason for the star deduction on service was because When I went back to order ice cream, I stood in line by myself (only person there) for For 8 minutes before the cashier who was sweeping the sidewalk outside Went back in. By the time she got there, a younger man had just walked up to the window to ask for extra condiments and he was taken before I was.

Best Gyro I have ever had! Fried shrimp was tender and delicious. Kids loved the curly fries and onion rings. Large menu so plenty of options, much of it fried but not all. Salads and ice cream available. Nice place to eat outside and room for the kids to play and get some energy out while we waited. Would go back!

Second time I have been here. First was with my daughters 15th birthday last year. Took her to deprivation tank therapy. This year for her 16th I took her for her first tattoo! David's it is again for birthday lunch! Great food, fast service! Thank you!

In my season-long quest for outdoor roadside eateries, today I landed at Dave's Place. Delicious 1/4 lb hamburger and fries served with a large soft drink for 13 and some change. Good portions, friendly service, good price. I definitely recommend!
