Been going here since a young girl and the food is always fresh and tasteful. This is my go too JA spot in Bridgeport

First time and won’t be the last. Got the small oxtail. Price to portion ratio is out of bounds. Very filling and packed with flavor. Price is definitely worth it.

Rootsman is well known and is famous for decades.. they give you big plates too ..
