A New Haven restaurant is being credited for being the best hole-in-the-wall spot in Connecticut.

Love Food compiled a nationwide list ranking the best hole-in-a-wall spots in every state, which included Louis' Lunch as the top choice for Connecticut.

"This cute, family-run New Haven spot has been going since 1895 and, according to the Library of Congress, is the first US location to serve the hamburger and the steak sandwich," Love Food wrote. "The hamburgers are still made from the same mix of five cuts of beef and served on white toast with onion, tomato and cheese. People love the history of the place and the delicious, no-frills food."
