6 Best American Restaurants in Bridgeport

“The food is 10/10. So delic!“

“First, to call SOB a hidden gem would be doing it a disservice, per all the five-star reviews! The better term is off the beaten path, but undoubtedly worth a purposeful trip. I am admittedly a bit of a sandwich snob, and Michelle's porchetta special did NOT disappoint. As a matter of fact, she was so genuinely charming and sincere in her description of it, that all three of us ordered the exact same thing, and the full-size grinder at that. This was a BIG sandwich, even by my standards, and the components were all top-notch. Somehow, the meat was still juicy and tender, even sliced thin and griddled on the flat top. The provolone was melted nicely, and the marinated peppers had just enough bite to balance the richness. She gave us a cup of au jus for dipping as well, which was greatly appreciated. Taste and value aside, Michelle may just be the start of the show. Her hospitable kindness and welcoming spirit made the food even better, to the effect that we were already planning our next visit before we even left. SOB is the real deal, thanks again Michelle, BPT is lucky to have you!“

“We had a wonderful first dining experience here. The food was fantastic and the athmosphere was so refreshing but the stand out of our visit was Kemar. Working as a restaurant assistant Kemar was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly attentive, polite and energetic ensuring our entire experience was remarkable.“

“One of my friends jumped at the chance, explaining that he grew up down the road from Ayala's, would welcome the chance to check out the 'old neighborhood.' Well, he grew up there close to forty years ago, and things have most certainly changed. After a rather brief visit to Ayala's last Saturday, I felt compelled to write this review.“

“The worst pub food I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a lot). The chicken curry did not taste like curry, and there were no vegetables in it - just sauce and chicken that tasted like it was leftover from the day before. I asked for fish and chips to replace it, and that was also terrible. It was burned and tasteless. For some reason, it came with salad dressing instead of tartar sauce. You’re much better off going to The Castle.“
