Johnny Ad's Drive-in - Old Saybrook

Great seafood connection! I have a (cold) lobster roll and a side of wobble rings. one of the best Hlobstah roles I've had lately. wobble rings were excellent. my gf has fish and chips. hands down best fish from a fish and chips court I ever tried. the chips could have been better. my meast is fish and chips that I had a few years ago in england. better fishing at johnnys, better chips in england. would have got a 5 if not for the creepy picnic tables outside. make them a better job to clean/extending them. No one loves it, on the top of someone else greasy drops and bugs that smash them into the tabletops. TL;DR: 5 foods 3 cleanliness 4 total

My wife and I came up for the weekend to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We were married in old Saybrook and have fond memories. We have been back a few times including a couple of times with our children. We always make it a point to go to Johnny ads at least once if not twice. It is still awesome! The people are super friendly, organized probably the best crabcake sandwich I've ever had. I enjoyed it so much I went back for a second one the day after.

They have the worst fried whole belly clams I've ever had. They were hard Asa rock and very salty. The oil tasted old. Their coleslaw had no flavor. The portion fo a $28.99 side order of whole belly clams was the size of a man's fist and that amounted to about 10 clams. What a waste of my hard earned money.

Best seafood in Connecticut and second best in all of New England. The food is amazing and the service is excellent.

Don 't sell this place short. They 've been doing it since the 1950 's and that will tell you something. It 's not much to look at, but that 's because they 've kept things the same and that seems like a good thing it works. The food is fast and the quality is very good. I can recommend their hot dogs large, tasty and very snappy. I have also recently discovered the fish sandwich, which is awesome. A large piece of cod or some other tasty white fish on a sesame seed bun with lettuce and tartar sauce on the side. The piece of fish is huge and fried to perfection. I feel bad because I ignored this place for years and, once I did drop in, I have been extremely pleased with food and staff. Thanks guys!
