Daddy Jack's

Great atmosphere! Older crowd, draft beers, wines, hand mashed cocktails. The wait staff was very fast! Food good entertainment, no cover! Get there early for a table. Street parking but very limited. Used the parking lot right in back. Good for large crowd, party, or individual. Specialty is brick oven pizza.

Daddy Jack's, like its namesake, is a New London treasure. From pizza to seafood, you can't go wrong with the cuisine, and the service is usually unbeatable. What makes it five-star, though, is the vibe, curated by Daddy Jack Chaplin himself, a man in all ways larger than life. He's the owner, head chef, and executive maitre d' all in one, a guy who loves food and people, and the more of both the better. At Daddy Jack's, with its jubilant crowd and delicious cuisine, you'll agree! Be forewarned, its hours are peculiar. But when it's open, it pulses with life, serving up great food, drinks, and music, and a heck of a good time!

The live music. The friendly waitstaff. The stuffed flounder. My husband's fresh swordfish topped with shrimp. Saying hello to Jack as he visited through the dining room. Now wonder we always love Friday night's at this place!
