Best KPortal Reviews
Trying out a lobster roll for the first time, it was really good. The bun was crispy and the filling was creamy. I wished the bun could be bigger ????. We also ordered a lunch special baked stuffed sole, came with big portion of fries (crispy and well seasoned) and coleslaw (made fresh). I didn't know what sole was but they were so delicious. The whole portion was perfect. Overall, it was the perfect summer lunch to start exploring West Haven beach.

Yes people, it's a month without an " R" and you know what that means.. SOFT SHELL CRAB SEASON! Turks got em.. and they are huge, full of meat, juicy and ohhhh sooo delicious. Good meal. Come down and support a long time West Haven business!
12/18/22. Good service. Food was good as well. Whole bellies weren't as big as I like, but everyone seems to be getting the "medium" bellies. Recommend supporting this old time westie establishment. Skip that other place, it's a mess!
09/08/22. Return visit. Good meal. Good service.
5/1/22. Haven't updated this in a while. Restaurant was updated and looks nice.. Clean. Food seems better than it was.. Still miss Neil and Eddy though.. Good people.
2020 OK.. better when Ed and Neil ran it. A bit dated. Food is good.. but have had better.
Let me start by saying the food is very good, and I'm not a huge fan of fried food but.....I was visiting family and decided to indulge in
Onion Rings! WHEW! They were excellent, just the right amount of batter and delicious spicy horseradish sauce.
Whole-belly Clams - spot on, not greasy, crispy, good-sized portion. Side of cold tartar sauce (I got sick on tartar sauce that was not cold 10+ yrs ago, the first thing I do is test if it's cold or if it's been sitting under a heating lamp).
Calamari - same as the clams. they know how to fry. As you can see, the paper is not greasy. Side of cocktail sauce and fresh lemon.
Slaw - it's okay. Nothing special. Cold. Crunchy. It helps balance out the fried food. :-)
Service - Morgan was great. She was efficient, checked in but wasn't overbearing and answered our questions and was doing a great job managing multiple parties of 2-6 people/table.
Cleanliness - very clean and fresh. AC was nice and chilly and welcomed on a hot and humid day.
Bathrooms - very clean, well stocked.
Parking - ample although we walked.
Very accessible for anyone in the family with mobility issues. There are tables and booths. Good place for a group with 1-3 generations!
I wonder WHY the orders of broiled entrees were so scanty verses the fried portions.
I was quite disappointed with the portion size but the food was delicious. I ordered the Broiled entrees, One piece of fish, five scallops and three stuffed shrimp... wasn't a meal I could let someone sample....but then maybe I'm greedy ????.
Great fries seafood and basic place. They have survived for a very long time. The tables always feel sticky . Food comes fast decent prices and friendly.
It's a basic staple on the West Haven shore .
The “Nathan’s” style crinkle cut fries are great. Golden brown and crispy. The slaw was ok, not the best and not the worst. The lobster roll today wasn’t great. Tasted fishy. I would not order that again if I visited again, but the fries I would come back for.
Place was clean. Got self service and sat down and eat lunch. Being so close to water too bad no view for self serve except the parking lot. Maybe view in sit down dining with waitress?
Wait was an hour after being seated for a drink of water and soda another hour for food family came in got seated and ate during my stay party of 6 vs party of 8 ? Quality was poor food was burnt, dry, oil made food taste burn as well, over cooked,I’m not happy
Turks is usually a highlight of my trips up to West Haven. The restaurant still looks amazing with their facelift but the service is definitely something left to be desired and I must have gotten the week’s left over lobster in my roll. Smelt and tasted fishy, totally gross. Hotdog checked out pretty alright. Also, my cup never seemed to get anymore liquid in it after the initial serving, least of my concerns.
I know Turk’s can do better, they have, and it certainly isn’t Jimmie’s.
Update: They took off the nasty lobster roll and gave me some amazing shrimp. Waitress pointed out the lobster is off since they changed the supplier, I recommend they change back or drop it off the menu. Let’s hope I don’t get sick from that bite.
