Our Story
David's Place started with a simple idea: serve the best burgers and freshest seafood on Route 85 in Oakdale, Connecticut. What began as a small roadside stand has grown into one of the most beloved restaurants in the region.
Over the years, we've stayed true to our roots — keeping things simple, using quality ingredients, and treating every customer like family. Our hand-pressed burgers, golden-fried whole belly clams, and fresh lobster rolls have become legendary among locals and travelers alike.
Today, David's Place continues to be the go-to spot for anyone craving an honest, delicious meal in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. We're proud of the community we've built and the memories we help create every single day.
