“We shared the arancini & had drinks, then tried the beef tip fettuccine & capatelli with bolognese. It was delicious. By the time we were done, we were too full for dessert & coffee, although I noticed the Lavazza espresso maker on our way in. This place was recommended by a friend a couple years ago & we decided to try it tonight. I'm glad we came & we'll likely be back.Parking: The approximate number of parking spaces closely corresponds to the number of tables inside. I feel like if the parking was totally full, there'd likely be no tables left inside.“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“This place is awesome, the friendly staff and people that come regularly to sporting events or just to watch a game or enjoy their nice patio in the back area is awesome too. I'm a new neighbor of the area and it's a clean atmosphere with wholesome people and great wings in wet and dry flavors, all the food is delicious and with good timing calling in or sit down.Parking: First come, first serve and fills quickly for happy hour time , game days but there is Street parking all around. Don't block driveways that's all or u will be towed.Kid-friendliness: Yes kid friendly insideWheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“We were at the flea market nearby and went for lunch because it was so close. Located in a strip mall, it’s was a cozy, informal, little restaurant with booths and some tables. Service was prompt and courteous, menu had all the classics and nice, simple dinners and black board specials. We had cheeseburger deluxe and pastrami melt. The fries were so good, steak fries that cooked to a deep golden brown. Perfect crunch for the outside, soft and mashed potato like inside. It’s been a while since I had fries that good!!! Burger was hefty, cooked to perfection and juicy. Pastrami melt was tender, with very thinly sliced sauté onions, grilled well on rye. Coleslaw was very good, not too saucy, not to dry. Ice tea was very good.Saw others selections, pot roast with gravy looked so good and a grilled chicken salad that was enormous!Prices were great for the quality and portion sizes. Can’t wait to go back again.“

“This is my favorite place to get breakfast. The owner and family that run the business are amazing! The selection is vast, and everything I have tried has been delicious. The customer base is friendly, and I have run into people I know coming for a great meal. It is a cozy place. You can dine in or carry out. My favorite place, especially if you want a great bagel! It is a guilty pleasure that is worth it!“

“Oysters are fresh-delivered EVERY DAY. Always a great variety. Sad we couldn't get the NE Clam Chowder - the clam delivery was late that day, so it wasn't ready. :(. Yes, made in-house. Just another reason to return. The lobster cocktail is amazing! Christine was our OUTSTANDING waitstaff-we've never had anything but exceptional service here. We love Lucas Local!“

“Nice homey, comfy spot!! Eggs cooked perfectly, amazing rye toast!Offer Foxon Birch Beer! Made lil' toast soldiers to dip eggs? In a perfect plate, potato's would be peeled and not so very hard and kind of over cooked...I couldn't eat them.But overall, high five breakfast!!Will be back!“

“We stopped in here on a Sunday for dinner with our two kids. Ordered wings, some quesadillas and had a few beers. Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful and friendly. Beer selection was great too. I want to try a burger next time, they're probably great.“

“Just moved back to Oxford and really enjoy this eatery.“

“Delicious breakfast!!! And great service!“

“So despite the name, Big Daddys does have eat-in service, and also appears to be part of a gas station? The location is a bit off the beaten path, but plenty of parking. I found a certificate on Restaurants.com for the pizzeria, and it was a good deal. Lunch and dinner at a discount! The burgers were pretty large, as were the fries if you ordered them as a side. The pizza had more of a tomato-acidy sauce than sweet, but a good amount of cheese. You could order by the slice inside. There is also ice cream, onion rings in the hot food area, and baked goods wrapped for desserts. There's both Coke and Pepsi in the coolers, and chips behind the window side booths. They also have a bar area and sell on Slice! Big Daddys also does local delivery on certain days in the evening. Goodness, there's a lot going on. Plus, a good flow of pick up orders. The gentlemen at the register seemed to have a good handle on things though.“

“The food was amazing and incredibly filling, and the staff was super kind and helpful. The restraint can get a bit loud though. The bathroom was very clean too!I am vegan, and was able to order some rice and beans. I chose the small portion, which was pretty large. The food was incredibly tasty! Would come again!“

“The lodge reminds me a lot of cheers! You walk in, and everyone starts to know your name… The weight staff is always very friendly and often strike up a conversation which I find something special these days. The food options are always great, and there are always a few specials on the list that catch someone’s eye. The draft beer choices are always rotating and changing which is great; often locally sourced. The bar area is always bustling, and offers a free pool table for patrons. There is also a large covered outdoor dining area for fair weather eating.“

“Food, beverages, great service“

“As I've said many times. I love a Hole in the Wall spot. Bailey's Cafe might take the Cake.If you are near or far definitely stop in for lunch! I indulged in a savory Chipotle Bacon ? Ranch Burger made to order, fresh thick sliced vegetables with steak fries. The Bourbon Wings made me Regret only ordering 6 should've taken 12 more home ???. Sweet potato fries for the win crispy to the order, fresh coleslaw..... The Bill came to $37 something I tipped $15. Compliments to the Chef. If you are reading this go get the Bourbon wings ??????Picture below disregard my hand I was getting ready to devour that burger ?Parking: Parking all over. The Bar holds 87 at maximum capacity.“

“The food is always delicious and prepared how you like it. Its a clean atmosphere with kind and professional staff. The owners are community minded, and generous. They are involved with outreach organizations raising money, awareness, and basic need items for people in need. My son, Richard, enjoys eating at Gayles more than any other restaurant because of how we are treated there, and because he says they have the best burgers, turkey clubs, and milkshakes around!!!!“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“Delicious ! Rice and Pernil Bowl was great. Reasonable prices. And fresh. The Empandas are nice and filled up unlike many places.“
