Drumstik Bar-B-Q

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Everything tastes good!
• Too far away from me.

“I'd have to say Drumstik has the best fried chicken. Way better than Kentucky Fried Chicken. I used to live in Bridgeport, anyway when we make it to Bpt we always try to get to Drumstik so we can bring some chicken home - along with the awesome green coleslaw. Just everything is so good! I sure do wish we had one here!”

Gabrielle Restaurant & Pizza
Feb 2, 2009 by Vinny Goumbats from Bridgeport

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[3] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Seafood salad.
• Rude wait-staff.

“The waiters and waitresses are very condescending and rude! There seems to be something in the air with their nasty demeanor. The food is a step up from a fast food Italian Restaurant, similar to the Olive garden. When you get the bill, you would have thought you broke a window. The atmosphere is like the Bada Bing club, only, without the dancers!”

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Food, and atmosphere.
• Not enough tables.

“This pizza is one of the best in the area. Saves you a drive to New Haven as this pizza rivals Frank Pepe's Pizza. Everything is fresh.”

Jimmys Diner

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Made their way is good even though.
• They don't always ask what type of toast you like.

Greenwoods Restaurant
Dec 31, 2008 by Kate from Bethel

Overall Rating: 5
Food:[1] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Atmosphere, service.
• Food.

“I ordered the BLT salad with steak, and it was the most disgusting thing I have ever eaten in my life. The menu stated that the salad was topped with apple-wood smoked bacon, which could not be further from the truth. The salad was topped with bacon that came straight from the microwave. The steak was not cooked to a medium temperature, as I had asked. It was more rare than anything. There was very little blue cheese, as well as dressing. I should have made a point and said something, but I did not want to cause trouble. I will just never return. Go to the Putnam House instead. You will not be disappointed with their famous honey hot wings, and anything else you chose from the menu.”

Greenwoods Restaurant
Dec 30, 2008 by Dawn from Bethel

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[9] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Food!
• Nothing.

“Formally Greenwoods and now the Opera House - huge improvement and the food is amazing. The new owner has a wonderful appetizer/entree selection - further broken down into regions of the US. The prices are great and the food is excellent! There is also a bar menu that is awesome. Highly recommend to anyone whether on a date or watching a game in the bar - you will enjoy. In the summer they have live outdoor music on the weekends - perfect for an afternoon and a cold beverage.”

Armandos Family Restaurant
Dec 30, 2008 by Dawn from Bethel

Overall Rating: 1
Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[2]

• Bar area.
• Food and service.

“Without getting into much detail - the only reason I rated atmosphere higher than the food and service is because the bar area was decent. Other than that the experience is not one that I would repeat and certainly never recommend. The entree arrived close to 2.5 hrs from the time we were seated, the staff was young/inexperienced, the food was terrible (ricotta was gritty a.k.a. frozen and was sent back) and the management was non existent.”

Stott Brothers Food Famous, Inc.
Dec 18, 2008 by Martha from Griswold

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• The food.
• It's all good.

“12-18-08 Our recent experiences with Stott Brothers Food Famous Restaurant were extremely satisfying offering sit down and warm up atmosphere to hearty delicious dining. A full menu selection allows customers family friendly choices in plentiful portions. Trying the Stott Burger (with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato, roasted pepper and served with fries, coleslaw and a pickle) exemplified the quality and freshness of the ingredients and careful preparation. On a busy schedule, table, booth, or counter service was prompt, personal and courteous. In our quest for homemade fruit pie for one of our service people, Stott's offered an inviting display of embellished specialties for which they are famous, including traditional New England apple, crumb, and blueberry. "Where everyone feels at home" is their motto. Grand hot chocolate and take-out are available.”

Armellinos Fine Itln Rest & Ca
Dec 15, 2008 by Mike Costa from Seekonk

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Everything.
• Nothing negative.

“The best when I lived in CT I was in there 3 to 4 nights a week with all the great people that work there treated me like family. The food was just like my mothers growing up and everyone is treated with respect. The restaurant is always clean and prices are reasonable, I really miss going there, because the food was great but what I miss more is the friends I made going to such a top notch restaurant.”

The Elms Restaurant & Tavern
Dec 6, 2008 by Jennifer from Manhattan

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[8]

• The food was delicious, wait staff courteous, and the fires were warm and wonderful.
• No handicap entrances.

“I had a lovely evening with my husband at this restaurant. We knew of Brendan Walsh from Arizona 206 a while back and we knew that this place should be great due to his talent. The food we ordered was lovely, the prices were reasonable, wine list was great, and the fires were very romantic and charming. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening and will be coming back again.”

Sneekers Cafe

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[9]

• GREAT food, service, atmosphere.
• Gets busy! Lots of locals eat here!

“When you first pull up in front of this place you think there must be some mistake! This looks like a dump! But step inside and you will be amazed by how pleasantly warm and friendly the atmosphere is, how well you will be taken care of, and just how amazingly delicious is the food. Very reasonable prices, friendly staff and a quirky, intriguing atmosphere that both relaxes and welcomes. Hard to believe what a find this place is.”

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[5] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[3]

• When I was leaving the place.
• Food, service, ambience.

“The food and service were good before but have changed badly in the last year. The staff seems confuse, sometimes even rude and the food takes forever. My last experience was sad. The hostess was clearly unhappy, our waitress didn't know the wine list and our order came wrong. Poor experience.”

West Street Grill Inc
Nov 14, 2008 by Jim from Canton

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[6] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[4]

• Room temperature was comfortable.
• A good word for the complete experience of this restaurant.

“I tend to be skeptical when I see charges that a restaurant is snobby and the wait staff is rude, but I found I would have been better advised to have listened to other reviews I've seen. I met a friend there for lunch. The ambiance is reasonably pleasant and the conversation was engaging, but I eventually realized we'd been there for quite awhile and still hadn't been served. The waitress forgot to put in our order or to make sure the chef prepared it. Then, once we had finished our meal and continued our conversation, I began to notice that our waitress had not only removed our food dishes and bread dishes but also had whisked away our glasses of water! I glanced up towards the front of the restaurant and noticed several people were waiting for tables. Before someone came and bodily ejected us to make room for them, I ordered two more glasses of water to make our point. In other words, beware: this place is supposed to be where out of towners can come and spot the occasional celebrity (who presumably is not given the same rush when finished their meal), but unless you don't mind bad service, arrogant management (someone trains their staff to act this rudely), you're far better off giving this place a pass and dining at any one of several much more people-friendly restaurants right there on West Street.”

The Log Cabin
Nov 10, 2008 by Barbara from Enfield CT

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[7] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Nothing.
• Poor service.

“We had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. It was not at all crowded. We were seated and promptly ignored. Our order was finally taken and then the waitress disappeared. When another server came to give us our salads, we stated that we felt very ignored. Our water glasses were empty, and we did not have enough bread plates. Other tables that we could observe, had GREAT service. I counted the waitress going to another table at least 7 times - and we had none. Our salads were eaten, water glasses empty, my husband's beer empty and there was no one. Our meals were plopped down in front of us, we again stated we had no service and the waitress disappeared. When our meal was gone and any leftovers completely cold a waitress came back. When she commented that my husband did not eat his broccoli and could have asked for something different, he said he would have, but no one came to check on our meals and that the service was terrible (and could we please have more water). She said and I quote - Sometimes we are busy and the service is bad, so that's the way it is. You can bet - We will give all of our future business to Lenny and Joe's!”

Riverview Restaurant
Nov 8, 2008 by John from Griswold

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Selection and salad bar are a real plus.

“Great selection. Excellent soup, salad and bread bar. Great deserts. Atmosphere is rustic and comfortable. The kids always love to watch the fishtanks also.”

Marisa's Ristorante
Nov 5, 2008 by George B from Shelton

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[9] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[9]

• Good food. Good entertainment.
• tooke forever to get a drink and our main dish!

“It was ok. Food was good and service was awful. It took 30 minutes to get a drink delivered to my table. At least we went on a night that they had a good singer there. Steve Dagastino made the night enjoyable. At least while we waited 30 minutes for our drink and the main dish hit our table 90 minutes after we sat down! I will try it one more time because the food was good, but go on a night that Steve is playing. It will make it very enjoyable if you have to wait for your food.”

Habana Bar & Grill
Oct 16, 2008 by Milena from Westport

Overall Rating: 4
Food:[4] • Service:[3] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Chilean Sea Bass is excellent.
• Mojitos are not good at all.

“The menu has absolutely. It is pricey and to be honest, a disappointment, if you are walking in there expecting to eat Cuban food.”

Baccos Restaurant
Aug 12, 2008 by Bob from Huntington Beach, Ca.

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[9]

• I like everything.
• The parking lot (especially in winter) but, I can live with that.

“One of the great "old style" East Coast eateries, casual elegance, great food, great service, consistent quality, pizza to die for (cheese and sausage). The best baked stuffed shrimp I have ever eaten, and every Italian dish is just that. real Italian! The beer is ice cold too! I live on the west coast now and when we visit CT, Bacco's is our first dinner "out" (sometimes two or three visits in a week.). I have been eating there since the 50's, first, N. Main St., then the rear of the Waterbury plaza, then Chase Avenue and finally, the present location on Thomaston Ave. oh yeah! I miss it a lot! I will be there in October. Sunday, Tuesday and Friday.!”

East Ridge Cafe
Aug 6, 2008 by Jeanette from Ridgefield

Overall Rating: 7
Food:[7] • Service:[6] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Salad, value, food quality (not super gourmet, but good).
• Music inconsistent, slow service at times, one confused waiter.

“My husband and I go here frequently because it is very convenient and it is good food. Very nice salad comes with meal, and food is good. The service is fair, though a few of the wait staff always seem very distracted (one well-meaning young man in particular). Service can be slow, and the music they play is inconsistent. It is sometimes just awful, and sometimes good. Good value, and the food enjoyable.”

Fortune Pavilion
Aug 1, 2008 by Kim from Greenwich, CT

Overall Rating: 8
Food:[8] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[8]

• Service.
• Seafood.

“The service is excellent and the food is good but the seafood sometimes tastes like saltwater so I avoid it. I did have a roach crawl across the table once that I brought to the owners attention and they took money off my bill but it was only a one time thing and they explained the building was sprayed that day so they were active. Other then that its a decent place.”

Golden Corral

“Great place to bring the family, huge, all you can eat buffet, lots of choices.”

Athenian Diner Iv
Jul 27, 2008 by AML from East Chicago, IN

Overall Rating: 1

• Nothing.
• All.

“My recommendation is not to go there. My wife and I went for dinner there on 07/17/08. The staff was inattentive. The food was mediocre and relatively expensive. There were flies over our heads. Thankfully, they did not land on us or on our food but I cringe to think there were able to go to the open food preparation areas. The milk chocolate I ordered came as a glass of regular milk with a glob of chocolate syrup on the bottom, not even stirred. The men's bathroom was dirty and needed repairs and upgrades. I have not been to Waterbury in years (used to live there for 12 years until 10 years ago). I thought that, with the demise of the former Betsy Ross Diner (where I once saw a roach coming from under my son's dish), things had improved. They haven't. Athenian Diner IV gives a bad reputation to Waterbury and to the other Athenian Diners in Connecticut.”

Upper Crust
Jul 19, 2008 by Chris from New Milford

Overall Rating: 10

• Nice atmosphere and people are friendly.
• During the summer months it is crowded with the summer people from NYC.

“My wife and I have eaten at the Upper Crust and taken out from there since we moved to the area 4 years ago. The service has always been excellent and the food great. Pizza, pasta, fish or beef the food is always very good.”

• There was food.
• The food took an hour and no one was there.

“I ordered manicotti which I love but after an hour I got angry that I didn't get it. Finally it came. It was cold, soupy and didn't taste that good! I left after about one bite and never came back. Save some money don't go to Salerno's Apizza!”

Patties Family Restaurant
Jul 12, 2008 by Jon from Danbury

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[10] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Prices, service, quality and quantity of food.
• Presentation not fun or interesting.

“Service was extremely fast and efficient. Prices very reasonable and the food very good, although I think a little more attention could be given to presentation. Even salads and sandwiches can be presented a bit more appetizingly. The soups were extraordinarily good.”

Kabuki Japanese Steak House
Jun 16, 2008 by LiAnna from San Diego, CA

Overall Rating: 2

• Nice looking place.
• Bad sushi, over-charged sodas, takes too long to get order taken.

“I love sushi, but definitely not from this place. The sushi is mediocre, the wrapping is pitiful, the taste is worse, not fresh as it should be. I ordered three rolls, one of them is supposed to be the restaurant's special. What a disappointment! The service was okay, but I got charged for every re-filled so the total amount from my soda is more expensive than my girlfriends' cocktails. Wouldn't come back to this place!”

Russell's Ribs
Jun 2, 2008 by Amy from Old Saybrook

Overall Rating: 2
Food:[5] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[6]

• The view.
• The staff.

“We went to Russell's after seeing a movie as a party of 10. We ordered drinks and appetizers with 2 entrees mixed in. Our drinks came back wrong 3 times (margaritas instead of Mojitos) and instead of being apologetic, the waitress gave us attitude and sent her manger over. When we tried to explain that the waitress was overwhelmed and just took the orders wrong (after I personally watched her write down the correct drinks) she interrupted and berated us, accusing us of lying about our drink orders. I have never been treated so poorly in my life, and this was by a manger! Our food was late; it took 45 minutes to get a glass of water. Now, we are not young, rude, drunk people. We are all professionals, have children and the median age is about mid-thirties. I urge you not to eat at Russell's! There are far better restaurants in the area with better food and views (not to mention staff!).”

Antonio's Pizza Restaurant
Jun 1, 2008 by Jenny from North Haven

Overall Rating: 10

• Good food, fast service, convenient.
• Mean people.

“I just moved to North Haven and conveniently down the street from Antonio's the food there is excellent! The price is good, for lunch I always get there chicken Marcela, its a perfect portion, they could wash their mushrooms a bit better every once in a while I crunch on the dirt, and their subs are great to, the only thing that I could say is not so good about them is the guys there, the cook and register guy, not sure who he is?”

Cody's Diner
May 17, 2008 by Karen from New Haven

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[3] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[1]

• Inexpensive.
• Rude, inconsiderate owners.

“This is great for a cheap eat, but you wait a while for the food, the service is rude and when I got an undercooked dish, was punished by being ignored and never given a replacement. I was asked to leave for complaining. Strange place. Rude owners. There are better greasy spoons than this one.”

Greenwoods Restaurant
May 16, 2008 by Diane from Fairfield

Overall Rating: 10

• The food, the service, the ambience.
• Higher than usual noise level.

“To celebrate National Nurses Week, I took our group to Greenwoods, or the new Opera House Restaurant. The service was prompt, and attentive. Both platters of appetizers we ordered were superb, the calamari was lightly fried, crisp and delicious, the marinara sauce accompaniment very tasty! The short ribs came highly recommended, and I was extremely surprised at the quality! The meat was so fork-tender, and the flavor, well, I have to admit, the best I've ever had! The mashed potatoes were real, and prepared to perfection, the green beans and carrots steam sauteed and very delicious! Desserts, including bread pudding, cheesecake and chocolate sundae were enjoyed by my guests! This was a 5-star experience for all!”

Centro At The Mill Restaurant
May 9, 2008 by Martin from Ossining

Overall Rating: 9

• The food was excellent.
• The paper tablecloths are fun but make it seem very casual.

“Good food (the pizzas are excellent!) Service was fast and friendly. We had a large group (13) and they had no problems accommodating us. I will definitely go back.”

Roma Restaurant
May 6, 2008 by D Walsh from New Britain

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[9] • Service:[9] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Love the appetizers, pizza, wings, great selection of tap beer, people watching, & deck.
• Parking can be a drag on busy nights. That would never stop me from going.

“I love this place! We have been coming here as a family since we first found out the place existed, about 5 years ago. You can call this place a home away from home. Grab a newspaper and hang out at the bar, watch a sports event on one of the various TVs, have some good bar food, play some pool, and play the jukebox. No one bothers you unless you want. The wait staff is patient and very accommodating. Rooms has a terrific deck just a few years old that you can go outside and sit and relax. By the way I am talking, sounds like they are paying me to do this! I will keep coming back.”

“For fast food this store excels and is family run for decades and run properly. All food is freshly made and delicious and inexpensive. As well they have fried chicken and many other dishes and I recommend this place above all other in Ct! Freshness seems paramount here as does service and prices are like from the 80s, are perfect and this is a perfect food place for the family.”

• The Cajun grilled chicken breast was fine.
• Nothing else was right.

“The service is slow. The food took 45 minutes, and then came out wrong. It took another 5 minutes to bring it to the waitress' attention and another 15 minutes to get a baked potato that was half the size of the first one they served drowning in butter. The overall experience was awful.”
