About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Clinton, Connecticut, The Log Cabin Restaurant offers an inviting and authentic American dining experience steeped in rustic charm and warm hospitality. This charming eatery stands out with its cozy, cabin-inspired ambiance that perfectly complements its hearty, soul-satisfying menu.

The Log Cabin is a treasure trove for lovers of classic American and Italian-American cuisine. Highlights of their extensive menu include sumptuous dishes like the Veal Parmigiana, an exquisitely tender veal cutlet smothered in rich tomato sauce and melted mozzarella; the Zuppa Di Pesce, a flavorful, briny seafood stew brimming with fresh catches; and the indulgent Surf ’N Turf, blending the best of land and sea in one plate. Their Pork Osso Bucco, slow-cooked in a merlot reduction and served atop creamy mashed potatoes, invites diners to savor every forkful as the flavors melt into pure comfort. For those who favor seafood, the Fried Whole Clam with French Fries and Lobster Ravioli Tuscano stand out as crowd-pleasers, delivering delicate textures and deep, savory flavors that echo coastal freshness.

Meat lovers will be delighted by the robust offerings such as the Broiled Pork Chops served with classic applesauce, the perfectly grilled Pork Chops Doral sautéed with sweet and hot peppers and onions, and the juicy N.Y. Sirloin Steak topped with seasoned mushrooms. The Bleu Cheese Steak offers a tangy twist on a beloved favorite, enhancing the juicy steak with creamy and sharp cheese notes. Side dishes like their house salad and a generous portion of pasta pair endlessly well with the main courses, while garlic bread and mozzarella sticks provide irresistible starters or accompaniments.

Families are warmly welcomed, with a thoughtfully curated child’s menu featuring comfort food staples such as Spaghetti and Meatballs, Cheese Ravioli with Meatballs, Chicken Nuggets with French Fries, and classic grilled cheese, ensuring younger diners feel right at home.

Nicola Ford shares how she felt immediately welcomed and appreciated the genuine, homemade quality of the food that reminded her of “nonna’s kitchen.” Khalid Anwar raves about the blend of rustic charm and understated elegance, highlighting both the spotless environment and unforgettable seafood dishes. Regular patron Frederick Silber describes himself as a “live to eat” fan who keeps returning for the consistently delicious plates, generous portions, and friendly staff, particularly lauding a waitress named Amanda for her special care. Even guests like Dboy Bochs, who isn’t usually a fan of salad, found enough satisfaction in the flavorful pasta and bread to leave a positive review.

    My mother is visiting me from England and I wanted to take her out for lunch. I have been told about The Log Cabin by others so thought we would give it a try, and I’m glad we did! From the moment we sat down we felt welcome, out waitress was so nice and helpful and the food was DELICIOUS! If you’re used to eating commercialized food then you won’t like it here. This tastes like nonna’s homemade food and you’ll go home with leftovers like you visited her too. We had eggplant parm and the steak with fries and it was cooked to perfection. The homemade salad dressing was to die for and the bowl of pasta they bring out with the bread was delicious too. You don’t get service like this anymore and I can’t wait to return!

    The wait staff and water refillers were friendly and efficient. Left with plenty of leftovers. The fettuccini Alfredo, bread, and pasta, were all delicious . The salad I didn’t like but I’m not gonna leave a negative review when I liked everything besides the salad.

    A Rustic Gem with Unforgettable Seafood and Service! My dining experience at The Log Cabin Restaurant deserves every one of its five stars. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was captivating—it successfully blends rustic charm with a touch of elegance, making for a cozy yet sophisticated setting. Even the restrooms were spotless, which always speaks volumes about an establishment's commitment to cleanliness. Our afternoon started with incredibly generous complementary side dishes. We were first served a refreshing bowl of vegetables with a lovely four seasons dressing and garlic cream, followed by a large, comforting bowl of pasta topped with excellent tomato sauce and freshly baked crisp bread with butter.This impressive start really set the stage for the rest of the meal. For our main courses, the quality and quantity were truly excellent and generous. I highly recommend the Baked Scrod, which was perfectly prepared and flaky. We also ordered the twin lobster tails, which were succulent and served with a perfectly baked potato, plenty of melted butter, and sour cream. Everything was fresh, hot, and seasoned beautifully. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. Our hostess, Amy, was exceptionally helpful and displayed a wonderfully pleasant attitude, ensuring we felt welcome and taken care of throughout our visit. The Log Cabin Restaurant is an absolute must-try if you're looking for delicious seafood, generous portions, and a beautiful, unique dining environment. We will certainly be back!
