“Wife and I went out to dinner and as usual food was on point. Base menu is always good and they always have a seasonal menu of great options. I tried the smoked old fashion and it was a home run. They put on the whole show and smoked the drink right at the table. Definitely not a disappointment. They always have seasonal drinks and come up and ask how they were. Lots of care in the food and drinks they put on the menu.“

“To start with, I love the thick menu! I love that they give the back stories on the local products/farms they use. And the plethora of options make certain that both my husband and I can find something we like no matter what we're in the mood for. It's also nice to go to a restaurant that has more than the same 6 things everybody else has and to know those items are made with locally sourced products. I can end with a cupcake made from scratch which also supports another small business instead of something premade from the same manufacturer everyone sources their desserts from. It's a win for me!“

“Bull’s Bridge Inn — Bulls Bridge, CT

Now THIS is my kind of place.

A short walk from the Appalachian Trail, Bull’s Bridge Inn has that old-school, dark-and-cozy tavern vibe I love. An actual bar, booths, plenty of tables, low lighting, and a crowd that runs the gamut—from locals and nicely dressed tourists to backpackers who just wandered in off the trail. Somehow, it all works.

And let’s talk about the open-faced steak sandwich with shoestring fries. Get it. Seriously. The kind of meal that makes you stop talking for a minute because you’re too busy eating.

It has character, it has atmosphere, and it doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard to be anything other than a really good old-fashioned inn and bar.

This is exactly the kind of place I’ll drive back to.“
