Hanna’s Middle Eastern Restaurant & Market 72 Lake Ave, Danbury Mediterranean • $$
72 Lake Ave, Danbury

“What a pleasant surprise! After a search on Google Maps for a restaurant with vegan options, we made a detour from our road trip to the Catskills to stop at this Middle Eastern restaurant. My husband and I shared a VEGAN Mezza Special (12 plates) for two: Hommous, Baba Ghannouj, Tabbouli, Stuffed Grape Leaves, Falafel, Luby (Green Beans), Spinach Pies, Foul (Fava beans), Moujadara (lentils), Mousakaa, Fattouch (salad), Olives. We have dined in other Lebanese restaurants in the US and in the Middle East, and we both agree that the quality of the food in this restaurant surpasses them all. We were served by the owner Maha Hanna, who told us that her husband is the chef who created our delicious meal. We will most certainly be back whenever we are in the area!”

“The absolute best brisket that I've had anywhere period, including Texas, where I have been several times among other states (sorry Texas, I still love ya'). The food is so good, without any exaggeration, it made me forget about my beer!! There is a lot to say about the portions, the friendly and fast service, the character of the place, all top notch, but if it's the very BEST brisket you're looking for, this place is a must, must visit!”

“My husband and I can’t get over with this fried chicken. It’s just the best we ever had. So crispy delicious outside but so tender juicy and fresh on the inside. Their French toast is the best too. That chicken is the bomb of all chicken from all over the world that we tasted. Staff are awesome too.”

“I’m trying to put into words how absolutely incredible brunch at @jlawrencect was.

The drinks were perfectly made, the food was delicious (seriously the tastiest brunch food I’ve had yet!) and the staff made our experience and time there wonderful! My top picks Drink - J. Law Mimosa Starter - Shareable warm donuts Entree - Main Lobster Egg Benny (with home fries) Dessert - Cookie dough with ice cream Definitely make sure to visit them. Perfect Sunday brunch with friends and or family ❤️”

4 Seasons Mediterranean Restaurant - Danbury CT 54 Pembroke Rd, Danbury Italian • $$
54 Pembroke Rd, Danbury

“We dined here on Sunday evening for a special occasion. We live so close by but haven’t tried this place so we decided to give it a go.The restaurant is cozy and the host and staffs were nice.We each got two different special menu which were roasted duck with blueberry sauce($27.99) and tuna steak salad ($29.99).They tasted decent.. we both finished the dish. To be specific, the blueberry sauce was too sweet for my taste and it overpowered the whole dish. It tasted like a desert- infact, I tried with a piece of bread and it was exactly like blueberry jam.The tuna salad was cooked properly, my husband was satisfied with the quality of food but he needed more food after that as the portion was too small.Overall, I feel like the portion could have been bigger but I need to try their regular menu and see the portion if we ever go back there in the future as we needed more food badly later.”

“The decor is so unique I walked around in awe both before and after dinner. The food was delicious but the history in the place even more impressive. Yes, I had my fortune told by the most lovely lady, and marvel at the “labor of love” restaurant the town of Danbury holds. The owner is a one of a kind guy who gave us a tour of the place with explanations of his travels, his acquisitions, and the story of the restaurant’s name. I give it 10 out of 10!”

“Consistently fresh and delicious food. Baked goods are wonderful, coffee is delicious! Selfishly, I wish this place was on mill plain rd as downtown Danbury is getting worse every day and parking for this particular location is difficult. The food must be great if I'm willing to keep coming back but "Mothership on Mill Plain" does have a ring to it!”

The Cue Restaurant and Catering 2 Pembroke Rd, Danbury Barbecue • $$
2 Pembroke Rd, Danbury

“My son and I have often gotten deliveries from The Cue and have LOVED it. We've been trying to get there in person and it finally happened yesterday! Yesterday was very rainy and dreary in CT, so we were a bit surprised to see them so busy on Saturday, mid-afternoon. As we approached the door, we smelled the smokiness before opening the door! A good sign! The building appeared relatively small from the exterior, but upon entering, we realized that it was much roomier than the outdoor appearance. The host stand was to the left and we were able to get seats pretty easily. Several tables were filled with happy diners - there was actually a table of 16 people celebrating a birthday. Beyond that table, we noticed a smaller room that can accommodate a private party, too. From the dining room, you can actually see the chefs loading and unloading the smokers through a large window! Onto the service - our server, Zeo, was very sweet and accommodating, checking on us often, refilling our drinks, chatting - very personable! We ordered drinks - my son ordered their house made sweet tea, that was perfect! And I had a bourbon cocktail with peach puree and orange - it was definitely bourbon forward with subtle flavors of the fruits! Delicious! And we ordered The Cue Nachos with Chopped Brisket - the serving was ENORMOUS! The cheese sauce was served on the side, so the nachos didn't become soggy. The brisket was so tender and had perfect smoke flavor! So as to save room for our entrees, Zeo brought a box to store our leftovers. My son had the Dry Rub burger and added bacon to it - he said it was outstanding and cooked perfect to his liking! His truffle parmesan fries were crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and had just the right amount of truffle parmesan flavor that did not overwhelm the fry! Fantastic! I had The Cue Salad with grilled chicken - the salad was LOADED with cucumbers, chick peas, olives, roasted poblano peppers and tender, chicken! Amazing! Their food, service and ambiance are definitely recommended! Their menu has a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, burgers, sandwiches, salads and kids menu. You can also order family portions of different selections of their smoked offerings and sides - with flights of their variety of sauces. Come try this gem located on Pembroke Rd, Danbury!”

Germantown Deli 2 Germantown Rd, Danbury Deli • $$
2 Germantown Rd, Danbury

“The people working there are very nice and on top of that the food is very good. We got our food in probably 4 minutes so they are definitely fast. I had the Bacon egg and cheese and so far that's the closest thing that reminds me of O'Neils Bacon egg and cheese that was in bethel. Sense they closed during the pandemic I've been looking for a new magical sandwich and this is where I'm at. I look forward to going again. The only down side is the look of the place but if they get enough business maybe they can improve that. Again appearance wise it doesn't look welcoming but give this place a try. You won't regret it.”

110 Federal Rd, Danbury

“The Birria Taco Truck in Danbury is a must-visit for taco enthusiasts. Their amazing tacos, along with Elote and Horchata, create an authentic and flavorful experience. I had the opportunity to try a little bit of everything on the menu, and I was blown away by the authenticity and freshness of the food. Every bite was a delight, with tender and flavorful meat, perfectly seasoned toppings, and soft tortillas. The Elote was grilled to perfection with a delicious combination of mayo, cheese, and chili powder. The Horchata provided a refreshing balance to the savory dishes. Don't miss out on this incredible family owned spot.”

“What a cozy sports bar! They were decorated so nicely for the holidays with Christmas lights, and they even had a list of festive cocktails to order from. The menu had all the comfort foods we could want, and we weren't disappointed! The Mac and cheese was definitely a highlight with how cheesy it was, and the pretzel was really fresh and soft. If we had one critique, the buffalo sauce was a little more on the vinegary side, but could be a personal preference. Our server, Kaylynn, was so nice and took great care of us, and we were in and out in just over an hour without feeling rushed. Would definitely come back here when I'm in the area!”

“Laos and Thai Cuisine, just blew my mind. Ya I blew it and forgot to take pictures of the 1) Laos Style Papaya salad (I ordered extra spicy), the 2) Deep fried Ground Shrimp and Pork wrapped in rice paper and 3) Sautéed Flat Rice Noodle with shrimp, beef and basil and finally my 4) Thai Ice Coffee. But I did take pictures of the Laos traditional Crispy Rice and Pork salad and the Shrimp with lime juice, hot peppers and shallots. Flavored any way you like from mild to extra spicy. Fresh, clean, light and bold flavors. And I won’t forget to say how unbelievably reasonable the prices are. There’s only about 20 more things I have to get back there to try!!! A real hidden gem... Fantastic service also, one person running the entire front of the house!”
