“Great beer, great atmosphere, great staff. Came in on a Saturday night and the bar tender went above and beyond, the live music was great and one of the lady’s came around with brownies, absolutely great”
“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. If I had to rate from 0 - 10, I’d give it a 10 without any hesitation. @jlawrencect just recently opened so their space is brand new and beautifully decorated! 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 ❤️”
“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.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“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!”
“Cafe on the Green is a wonderful restaurant with delicious food, meticulous service and lovely golf course views. It is not crowded or noisy and great for a romantic , quiet and relaxing meal.”
“The food here is amazing. I have never had a bad meal. Portions are big, so usually leftovers for another meal. Specials every week. Steaks, seafood and specials are amazing. Friendly staff and bartenders are great!! Drink specials are very good but my preference are the martinis!!”

“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!”
“Wanted to try something different tonight from GrubHub. I’ve gotten Halal food from a food truck in New Haven which I love. I saw Shah’s Halal Food in Orange and said let me try it. OMG, I feel like I got it from the food truck and am in HEAVEN right now. Whoever made this made it EXACTLY how I like it. Thank you Shah’s - I Will Be Back!!! I promise!!!”

“My favorite food truck now serves breakfast.The chef is so friendly and personable. He loves to cook and he will make anything you ask him.Now serving breakfast!Kid-friendliness: My kids all love this food. You can order a platter ahead and feed a whole family.”
“Hands down the best authentic taco truck in Danbury, and the surrounding area. their food is delicious, service is excellent, and the family who runs it is nicer then my own :) En español, puedes decir "su comida es deliciosa, el servicio es excelente, y la familia que lo dirige es más amable que la mía". Mucho Gracias!”
“GOD DAMN. Probably one of the best, biggest sandwiches ive ever had. Sandwich came out like 3 mins after I ordered. Place was clean and the sandwich was AMAZING. I've never had such a loaded sandwich like that before. I ate the first half of my steak and cheese, and was almost full. I looked at my other half like i already ate a full meal. But I pushed through cuz that's how good it was. The two guys behind the counter did me and my friends right. It's now my go to spot and I can't wait to go back there again!”

“My sister, daughter and I went today and we are so glad we did! Being not so familiar with the food options we asked for some help with the menu and they so graciously gave us descriptions and advice. The Butter Chicken was delicious and not too spicy and the garlic Naan was fantastic! We will definitely be back soon.”
“Eating in or taking out a meal or sandwich is always an excellent choice. All of his food is done to each customers specific needs and is delicious. You won't be disappointed.”
“Amazing authentic Brazilian buffet. Very fresh food. The fresh meats were particularly good especially the sirloin. Excellent price and positive atmosphere. Will definitely be eating here again!”

“Been going here a few times a week for lunch, wish I had tried it sooner. Their food is delicious no matter what you get. Everything always tastes fresh. Now we have trouble getting lunch anywhere else because it’s nowhere near as good. If it’s not on the menu they will do their best to accommodate assuming they have ingredients needed. Also worth mentioning that the entirety of the staff is always upbeat, happy and welcoming. Go there enough and they will remember your order and your name. Great atmosphere here and absolutely worth giving them your business. Give them a try , you won’t be disappointed.”

“Was in town for an overnight work trip and before heading home, decided to stop at this food truck located outside the Home Depot. This was easily one of the best tacos I had in my life. Tried the steak taco and was extremely pleased with the taste and quality of the ingredients. I may never have any business in Danbury, CT again but I will return with my kid one day so she can try this place out. 10/10”
“We got pizza delivered. Our dog has never acknowledged the food in the kitchen before, and is very well trained. Upon putting the pizza on the counter, our dog FLIPPED over the smell. It was out of character and shows how AWESOME the smell was. 10/10”
“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!”
“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!”

“Lovely lunch on a rainy day. Service quick and friendly. Had octopus app and scallops for main course. Portions were perfect, took home a bit for a midnight snack. My mojito was very tasty. Will absolutely return!”
“This is my second time here it was excellent both times. I came in asked for Adam Mgr said he wouldn’t be here for a couple of weeks but he picked up a shift and he came over to say hello he is a excellent waiter.. And the mgr was so nice and the food is top notch….”
“Best Chinese in Danbury! Owners are by far the most accommodating. Definitely a take out place; a few small tables for eating in if you have time. Take good suggestions from the owners; they are so nice!”
“Food and service are excellent!! I haven’t had such an amazing experience in a long time! Went twice, and both times I loved! Can’t wait to come back!! ❤️❤️”
“Food was good. Service was fast and attentive. Some healthy options that were good. The salads intrigued us but I couldn't handle the price in order to try one. The ambiance is spacious and relaxing. Which is hard to achieve. I Will definitely go again esp for a lunch date.”
“Oustanding! Everything was right on from starters to dessert - party of 4 - not a single negative comment - only raves .... Still talking about it a day later ! This place nailed it! What are you waiting for? 5 ⭐️'s”
“went with 3 others. our server matthew was super friendly. everything was good, but i do think that the fire alarm going off while we were eating did kinda ruin the mood. overall; 9.7/10Kid-friendliness: super kid friendly”
“Came here for Valentine’s Day! It was our first time here and so impressed! The food was outrageous and staff was beyond friendly! It was such a nice atmosphere and we will be back!”
“The marketing and events coordinator reached out to me to apologize for my last visit. She was kind enough to offer compensation via a gift card. We went back unrecognized to receive exceptional service and a very good meal. Stephanie, thank you!”
“Food price / quality (value) rating 7.5. The atmosphere in the bar area is kind of 70's disco, but tasteful. A large bar , about 24 seats, surrounded by about 8 four seat tables. The two dining rooms are more formal. The menus are really cool, they are electronically backlit so that the pages light up for easy reading. They offer a wide variety of Italian dishes and several interesting specials. The wine prices were reasonable. They have about 8 or 10 draught beer choices, but half of them are too common. A bruschetta and fresh bread are included with dinner. I had the halibut special, which was good, but $45 was a little steep for the dish. The wife had the shrimp and scallops over risotto, which was good. Neither dish had anything unusual as far as flavors or presentation. The service completely fell apart towards the end of the meal, our waiter didn't check on us for about 20 minutes after finishing our entrees, and I had to ask three times for a draught beer list. I was going to have dessert and a cappuccino, but by the time we saw our waiter again, it was time to go home, so I skipped those. The bill was $135 for two entrees and four glasses of wine, which seemed a bit steep for what was received.”
“This bar/restaurant is small and a little cramped more or less a nice little hole in the wall. But the food was amazing. The menu has Mexican and Ecuadorian food as week as some American choices. The ceviche was sweet but very good. The quisquillas were amazing and that's hard to do for something so simple to make. The price was reasonable some things were pricy but otherwise decent. The service from the waitress could've been better but all in all would recommend.”
“For my daughter’s birthday, she requested the Cheesecake Factory. My wife is a rewards member, so we were able to make a reservation. The table was ready when we got there. Plenty of parking outside. It is connected to the mall but not in the mall. Very clean inside and a very friendly staff. One of the first things you see is a giant refrigerator of cheesecakes on the right. It automatically puts you in a good mood. Kaitlyn was our waitress and did a great job. She consistently checked on us and even sang happy birthday to my daughter when she brought out her piece of cheesecake.The food is amazing. There are so many choices of appetizers, small bites, entrées, desserts, and duh cheesecake. The nachos were some of the best that I have had. Loaded with everything you can think of and layered properly. Every chip had something on it. I also enjoyed the crab bites. Pretty much crabcakes fried into a ball. The pretzel bites were also very good. The fondue cheese really put it over the top. The leftover cheese was used as a vehicle for the french fries. I have the mac & cheese, burger. Delicious and filling. I almost couldn’t finish, almost. I sampled a small piece of the peanut butter fudge cheesecake. Very creamy and delicious. Overall very satisfied. My only issue was the price. I know the food is delicious, but to me it is a little expensive. I will definitely return, probably during their weekday specials.”

“Cheesy corn and coconut empanada, BBQ mushroom and pickle arepa, patatas bravas, all top notch.Friendly, welcoming team, fun atmosphere. Creative cocktails and mocktails. A+”
“Consistently great pizza and nice owners & staff. Ambiance is cozy and rustic, small but comfortable if you're looking to stay in to eat. I typically get takeout and it's always fresh and delicious.”

“Elmer has a fairly good sized menu. Most entrée prices are as good or better than other places in the area. They have some tasty treats for dessert in the counter when you walk in. I've been to Elmer's a few times for breakfast. The people there are always nice.”
“Dawn made sugar free cupcakes for my Aunts wedding shower. My aunt not only loved them, but she said they were fresh, delicious and did not have “that after taste” she usually gets from store bought cake . We have also had her amazing cakes.. Alice in wonderland theme . Fantastic and so yummy!!!”
“My orders here are always correct. The drive thru is conveniently located because it’s in a gas station. I’ve never been inside, but it’s inside of a gas station.”
“Just went to the one close to the hyway in main street and idk if the guy was a manager he was talking to a lady employee with arrogance an Actitued remember he said to her in a bad manner go now,and keep talking loud and with bad actitud to her ,hes skinney told guy with glasses she us short woman 3/8/2024”
“I usually order a bacon egg and cheese biscuit and coffee because that's what my Dad and I usually ordered. Unfortunately, he passed from covid in 2020. I still order it to remember those days...”
“Overall, McDonald's is a convenient and affordable fast food restaurant that offers a variety of food options, including healthier choices. While McDonald's is not the healthiest option available, it is a good choice for people who are looking for a quick and easy meal.”
“New burgers are thicker and juicy. The 3 new bundle prices are also good. Had kiosks in lobby but not sure how they worked. Looked like I had to have a card or online acct.Parking: The flow through the lot was confusing but open spaces. Ended up driving in circles.”
“Awesome waitress Saturday night! Had corned beef with no bread and perfectly seasoned and cooked vegetable medley instead of fries. Very accommodating. The cajun shrimp mac and cheese was delicious I am told. Will definitely go back. Roomy, clean very friendly. So many choices to try out on the menu!”
“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.”

Birria truck
“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.”

“Sonny’s is an excellent choice for a simple, honest breakfast filling the gap for New Fairfielders after the Luncheonette closed.Sonny’s is open during the morning until 2 pm allowing plenty of time to stop in for a breakfast or lunch.We each had an omelette- like another reviewer said - which was stuffed full of your choice of ingredients. I had their Geno’s omelet which was filled with bacon, onions, peppers and cheddar cheese. Neatly folded it made a pretty presentation unlike other diners or cafes whose omelets are like a placemat folded in half.My husband had the special - their Mexican omelet which had a festive array of cheese, salsa, veggies and more.But the highlight of the breakfast for us was their grits. I’m not fond of home fries - too big and chunky for me, so their grits were a great substitute.They are heavenly - they were creamy with the grits apparent, thick with a pat of butter. We add some salt and pepper and enjoyed.Why am I focusing a review on a simple side dish? My husband is from the deep South where grits are the mainstay side dish to every breakfast. The grits served here were just like the best grits he had from down south. Most places up here serve thin, runny grits that are too gritty. Properly done takes cooking them slow and long so the grits break down somewhat and develops that rich creamy flavor.So unexpected to find a southern dish done so well. All their other dishes are just as delicious as the ones we had.Sonny’s has a homey atmosphere where Sonny himself steps out of the kitchen and checks in with the customers.Service was quick and attentive. My coffee cup was refilled 3 times without me asking. Condiments were also offered without asking.Sonny’s is touch of a blast from the past with good simple breakfasts (and lunch) with great service and a smile.”
“I like to stop in usually once a month to try new flavors. I love the cookies. Super sweet, unique, and the temperature varies based on the type. The cookies always look great, and the place is clean. Staff is always welcoming.”
“We stopped by on our way through town. The owner and his wife were so nice to us it was unbelievable! I know it sounds like I’m exaggerating but they really were fantastic.The food and coffee were excellent but the real difference maker was how great their customer service is!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This is an exceptionally well-managed Chick-Fil-A. Despite a huge lunch rush on a summer Friday and a large/complex order on my part, I was in line for less than 30 seconds and waiting for my food for less than 2 minutes. They also hooked up it with the Chick-Fil-A sauce and gave me a BUNCH.”
“Food was great, waitstaff very polite and friendly. The only downer were the bench seats in the booths. The vinyl was peeling off the upholstery, and it doesn't look very presentable. I hope the owner has it in the plans to replace in the very near future.”
“Love that they know my order when I pull up to the drive-thru window for my morning latte ☕ . Sometimes they can get busy and I know it's hard to find good help these days but they do the best they can. I appreciate it.Parking: Easy to park plenty of parking in the back also and in the front there is a beautiful small park as seen in the pictures and a beautiful newly renovated road Old Route 7 in Brookfield has granite sidewalks and brick inlay to walk on and drink your coffee and also walk across the street and go for a beautiful walk on the greenway in Brookfield Connecticut and if you need a haircut stop by Gary's barber shop all in the same street. What a spot for a coffee walk and haircut perfect.”
“In the battle of chicken sandwiches and fries, where does this contender rank? Well let me tell you.I came in and ordered the Royal Chicken sandwich and it was quite good! Felt that the bun was a bit too artificial (compared to other contenders such as Popeyes or Chic Fila), however I was surprised to find that the chicken filet was pretty well seasoned (honestly almost bordering on too salted). However, it was a pretty good sandwich.The fries were also great. I ordered them with no salt and the staff was happy to oblige with no issues. Thank you! The interior was also clean and the service was fast. If you need a quick fast food fix, this is the place!”
“The staff are nice and it's quiet some time and I could read and eat at the same time because it's so quite and I can listen to my music ? it's clean I would recommend coming hereParking: There isn't a lot of people so there is a lot of parking spots”
“Every time I go to Burger King, this location never disappoints. The rep at the drive up window is always super friendly and knows exactly how to get my order. Fast service is always guaranteed. I didn’t catch his name but he is the big guy at the window. I would definitely visit them again for a quick bite.”
“I could not give it a 5 star across-the-board because the registrar was not working so they only accepted cash and they had closed the lobby so you could only eat in the car which was rather frustrating because I wanted to take my daughter out to eat not sit in the car however the food was good so I'm not gonna complain too ”
“Happened to be buy 1 get 1 Sundea on Wed �DELISH & so many options! While chatting w/ friendly staff, we learned its family owned for 45 years! His parents bought it when he was 8 yrs old & then he it took it over when they passed � He mentioned it's his home away from home. He takes pride, and it shows! Yum”
“This my go-to Dunkin store and I love it! The coffee is great of course, but what makes it a wonderful experience are the lovely staff members inside. Edda at the drive-thru window is the kindest and most hard-working I've ever seen - always greets with a "Good morning" and a big smile. She's the best!!”
“The food here is usually good. The drive thru is pretty quick and the dining area is always clean. Michael (I think he’s a manager) is always pleasant and nice. Good location.”
“There was 1 person scheduled to work this morning. She was doing the same amount of work as 3 people. Running the drive thru, mobile orders, and walk-ins. I felt so bad for her that corporate thinks it's okay to do this to their employees and keep cutting hours. This is how you get people to quit. She did a phenomenal job trying to get every customer's orders done. If she does the work of 3 people, then she deserves the pay of 3 people.”
“If you still haven't handed some chicken fries, what are you waiting for? The world might be crumbling around us, but Burger King chicken fries will help you get through that hunger. I also enjoy the cheap ice bags yes they sell ice for dirt cheap.”
“If you haven't stopped by in a while they just added chicken and waffles to their menu. The chicken tenders had lots of flavor and went very well with the waffle which has perfect amount of sweetness.”
“I visited the Dunkin' Donuts store on Main Street yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the coffee was freshly brewed. The donuts were delicious, especially the chocolate frosted one. A great experience!”
“So glad to have Luigi’s closer to home! Stopped in tonight and all his favorites were there. Yummy calamari, eggplant rollatini, tortellini, and of course pizza and Mama’s cake for dessert! Susie was a fantastic waitress. We will be regulars.”
“This is my second time here it was excellent both times. I came in asked for Adam Mgr said he wouldn’t be here for a couple of weeks but he picked up a shift and he came over to say hello he is a excellent waiter.. And the mgr was so nice and the food is top notch….”
“This is a little dive, Deli, but the sandwiches are awesome!! They could use a few more options to live up to being a "Deli." But it's definitely worth giving it a shot. 4 of us ordered sandwiches, and they were fantastic!!”

“Loved the Husband and Wife running the place. Super friendly and large seating area. Great for a work or service break in the morning. Good breakfast sandwich menu. Very clean. Plenty of parking at the Business Park Building. Cafe is on the Plaza or P Level if your taking the elevator down.”
“I gotta say yelp was correct with this place. When I looked for Pizza around Danbury, Michel Angelo's comes up with 4.8 stars. So I Figured what the hell I'll give them a shot, and I was not disappointed. Great crust, great sauce, best of all great conversation while I was waiting for my pizza.”
“Wow. I had never been to John's before. Was looking for sicilian pizza. I needed a "forklift" to get it to the car. Ordered the special, cause it was my birthday. Did not dissapoint. Best sicilian I've had. Crust soft, tons of toppings. Lots of flavor. Will be back for sure. Outstanding! Thanks!Parking: Plenty of parking.”
“This place is truly off the beaten path, came across it by chance and the food and service was excellent. The atmosphere- well it’s a deli so they don’t put too much into the atmosphere, I would think most people take the food to go. We really enjoyed our sandwiches and they were very well put together, flavor, combination and quality! Will be back for more!”
“Greeted by friendly staff simultaneously and a friendly atmosphere. Hands down the pizza was ?soooo good and the cheese just melts in your mouth. Kudos to their 4% discount if you pay by cash . This is my “go too” pizza spot gem this day forward .”
“I’ve been craving for some good Dominican style rabo dish and I found it today ! I stopped by here because I was in the neighborhood and had some time to kill with my baby. I was pleasantly surprised of their selections of food and the service. The price is truly reasonable for the portion they give. The rabo (oxtail) tasted absolutely delicious!! Not too salty, just right.I will be back for sure !!! ❤️”
“Solid Latin food all around and classic Dominican dishes. Black bean soup is outstanding. Better than mom’s. Bacalao at end of week must have. Chicharrones and papa rellena also ”
“We've been coming here for years. I'll keep this short: just about everything on the menu is yummy BUT what sets this place apart is the staff. You will be treated like family.”
“This is the best Mexican restaurant in Danbury!! Is ever authentic with the food, is one of the best places to eat tacos not only because they’re delicious but I can get individually which means I can eat as many different ones at the same time ?. The environment makes me feel like if I was in Mexico, not just that the decor is gorgeous and they have unique pieces. The service is great here, the waiters are very attentive and respectful. I would definitely come back for the experience and for the tacos ??”
“I love the food here! Huge amounts of deliciousness ! The staff is fantastic!!!! They are always smiling and super friendly! If you haven’t tried here yet, you really should!”
“Sou brasileira e amo os bolos e pães da padaria mexicana recentemente essa padaria não adoçou a minha vida com seus bolos e doces ela adoçou a minha vida o meu coração com a sua grande generosidade e apoio com uma organização muito importante para nossa comunidade que luta contra o câncer que é a Ann's Place muito obrigada la mexicana Bakery por sua generosidade além de fazer coisas deliciosas vocês fazem coisas maravilhosas para o próximo também Deus os abençoe.”

“Amazing place, I love the buffalo chicken rolls and the chicken alfredo is pretty awesome as well definitely homemade pasta. Top-notch place definitely my favorite in the area. Great job guys!”
“I eat pizza everywhere and if someone’s not smiling and serves me the best pizza I’ve ever had that’s fine with me and I’ve never had a issue they are always respectful. Try the Grandma it’s the best. Sauce is perfect, cheese perfect, crust has crunch and the flavor is the best.Parking: Easy”
“My husband and I have gotten take out here 5 times and we love it! The food is very good. I have tried multiple different entrees and have enjoyed all of them. My favorite option is the spring rolls. Sometimes we even get free donuts in our take out orders - the staff is so nice! Looking forward to coming again.”

“My new favourite place for Japanese and Korean dishes. Small so be aware you may need to book or wait. The food is authentic and the service is great. A gem in Danbury.”
“The best pizza I've had in a long time. I like my pizza will done personally and the sauce was delicious. This place set the bar high, which is saying something being from New York. Very impressed.”
“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!”
“Food and service are excellent!! I haven’t had such an amazing experience in a long time! Went twice, and both times I loved! Can’t wait to come back!! ❤️❤️”

“The best Chinese food in all of Danbury! Food is so bomb and fresh. The lady at the cashier is so sweet, she gave us some free sugar donuts with our order. :’)”
“Elmer has a fairly good sized menu. Most entrée prices are as good or better than other places in the area. They have some tasty treats for dessert in the counter when you walk in. I've been to Elmer's a few times for breakfast. The people there are always nice.”

“We got pizza delivered. Our dog has never acknowledged the food in the kitchen before, and is very well trained. Upon putting the pizza on the counter, our dog FLIPPED over the smell. It was out of character and shows how AWESOME the smell was. 10/10”

“Tried the Pina Colada smoothie today and it was delicious. Place is very clean and modern. The owners were very friendly. Definitely a nice addition to downtown Danbury.”
“To me this place has the authentic feel Of a traditional Portuguese eatery in the old country By far the best Portuguese custard cups in the state As my parents are from the old country I was born and raised here But traveled to Portugal frequently throughout the years so I think that I know what I'm talking about They bake everything on premises and whatever runs out in the morning runs out for good So get there early Can't forget to mention its family Run'd and owned That's what makes it special I am not affiliated with the restaurant just very fortunate to have this place in the state love to go here”
“Just moved into the area from Stamford and immediately started looking for my Spanish food spot. I tried Go Delicias once for lunch, next thing you know I’m ordering a what looked like a thanksgiving feast of an order for my family. The food is delicious ( hence the name ) Staff is attentive and efficient, the place inside is a little small, but I still Love this place.”
“Cheesy corn and coconut empanada, BBQ mushroom and pickle arepa, patatas bravas, all top notch.Friendly, welcoming team, fun atmosphere. Creative cocktails and mocktails. A+”
“Visiting relatives, we just happened upon this restaurant from a review on Yelp. The food was great. The menus had lots of variety. My wife raved about the stuffed shrimp. We would definitely return.”
“I got gift card for Christmas, so my daughter and I got doughnuts and they were delicious, and the design on the one my daughter got was adorable. It had a gummy rainbow on it. The donuts were So fresh. Definitely will go back for there ”
“Oustanding! Everything was right on from starters to dessert - party of 4 - not a single negative comment - only raves .... Still talking about it a day later ! This place nailed it! What are you waiting for? 5 ⭐️'s”
“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!”

“Restaurant 4.2/5French dip 2.7/5Good steakhouse and seafood. Overall, upscale quality food and drink in an American tavern aesthetic.This is our 3rd time coming and we enjoy. Be prepared to spend $$$. Today however, I was here with intentions. One item on the menu.The French dip. 2.7 out of 5. Does not beat out widow browns as not only best in area, but best ever.The au jus rocked, but I was disappointed with the steakumms style meat on the sandwich. It was dry, and i was expecting better quality, especially after previously having various steaks and other items from them menu. The meat in here was assembled with love and care, which is a huge issue at a lot of places. It was not stacked like a child did it, but scooped and layered with love. My biggest issue with this fd, is that is it no where near worth $22. What a sham.”
“I had family visiting from out of state and we had such a great time at Gallo in Danbury last night. They food was amazing, the service was outstanding and the atmosphere so very comfortable! Will definitely be back.”
“I come here every other month or so to meet my friend for dinner. Food is always good and our waitress is always so friendly and kind. She Aldo never writes anything down. It's all in her memory. Pretty cool!!!”
“The marketing and events coordinator reached out to me to apologize for my last visit. She was kind enough to offer compensation via a gift card. We went back unrecognized to receive exceptional service and a very good meal. Stephanie, thank you!”
“I like to stop in usually once a month to try new flavors. I love the cookies. Super sweet, unique, and the temperature varies based on the type. The cookies always look great, and the place is clean. Staff is always welcoming.”
“Made reservations for 7 people, we had 3 kids and 4 adults, we arrived 10 min late and they gave away all the group tables that seat 8 to groups of 4, even though they had pretty much all the booths open to seat 4. They wanted to sit us in 2 booths across from each other, which we declined so we had to leave and it was my 12 year olds birthday. They tried to blame us, but theres no excuse for them to seat 4 people at a table for 8 when you know you have 7 people coming in for a reservation. The restaurant had plenty of seating for the groups of 4 to sit at a booth.”
“My husband and I was here for dinner on Friday for the first time ever. I ordered the filet and lobster tail. My husband ordered the ribeye. Both meals exceeded our expectations. The manager Sean was fantastic. He came to our table to introduce himself and check on our experience. Restaurant was clean and the call ahead seating was super convenient.”
“For my daughter’s birthday, she requested the Cheesecake Factory. My wife is a rewards member, so we were able to make a reservation. The table was ready when we got there. Plenty of parking outside. It is connected to the mall but not in the mall. Very clean inside and a very friendly staff. One of the first things you see is a giant refrigerator of cheesecakes on the right. It automatically puts you in a good mood. Kaitlyn was our waitress and did a great job. She consistently checked on us and even sang happy birthday to my daughter when she brought out her piece of cheesecake.The food is amazing. There are so many choices of appetizers, small bites, entrées, desserts, and duh cheesecake. The nachos were some of the best that I have had. Loaded with everything you can think of and layered properly. Every chip had something on it. I also enjoyed the crab bites. Pretty much crabcakes fried into a ball. The pretzel bites were also very good. The fondue cheese really put it over the top. The leftover cheese was used as a vehicle for the french fries. I have the mac & cheese, burger. Delicious and filling. I almost couldn’t finish, almost. I sampled a small piece of the peanut butter fudge cheesecake. Very creamy and delicious. Overall very satisfied. My only issue was the price. I know the food is delicious, but to me it is a little expensive. I will definitely return, probably during their weekday specials.”
“This is our go-to Pho spot in the area. Good portions, flavor, and service. One negative is the table setup. They have these giant tables up front where the good light and windows are, and the smaller group seating in the back where there's no natural light. So on darker days, everyone is huddled in the dark at the back of the restaurant while the nicer large tables remain empty.They also need larger bowls for their bun bowls. Mixing becomes a delicate process where you're always on the verge of spilling from the bowl.”
“GOD DAMN. Probably one of the best, biggest sandwiches ive ever had. Sandwich came out like 3 mins after I ordered. Place was clean and the sandwich was AMAZING. I've never had such a loaded sandwich like that before. I ate the first half of my steak and cheese, and was almost full. I looked at my other half like i already ate a full meal. But I pushed through cuz that's how good it was. The two guys behind the counter did me and my friends right. It's now my go to spot and I can't wait to go back there again!”
“The only place I like to go while travelling is chipotle. It always has good and fresh food. But the chicken tasted a little old and a little burnt from this chipotle during my visit. A little disappointed because chipotle is always my go to food.”
“Food was great, waitstaff very polite and friendly. The only downer were the bench seats in the booths. The vinyl was peeling off the upholstery, and it doesn't look very presentable. I hope the owner has it in the plans to replace in the very near future.”
“Food price / quality (value) rating 7.5. The atmosphere in the bar area is kind of 70's disco, but tasteful. A large bar , about 24 seats, surrounded by about 8 four seat tables. The two dining rooms are more formal. The menus are really cool, they are electronically backlit so that the pages light up for easy reading. They offer a wide variety of Italian dishes and several interesting specials. The wine prices were reasonable. They have about 8 or 10 draught beer choices, but half of them are too common. A bruschetta and fresh bread are included with dinner. I had the halibut special, which was good, but $45 was a little steep for the dish. The wife had the shrimp and scallops over risotto, which was good. Neither dish had anything unusual as far as flavors or presentation. The service completely fell apart towards the end of the meal, our waiter didn't check on us for about 20 minutes after finishing our entrees, and I had to ask three times for a draught beer list. I was going to have dessert and a cappuccino, but by the time we saw our waiter again, it was time to go home, so I skipped those. The bill was $135 for two entrees and four glasses of wine, which seemed a bit steep for what was received.”
“I went for lunch and was greeted by a great staff.Ordering my food was very easy and friendly.I ordered a great cheeseburger and frys and there famous vanilla shake was excellent!My only negative, a bit pricey for the amount of food.”

“Good people and amazing sauce. We picked up pizza, garlic knots, and mozzarella sticks today, delicious. This isn't our first time eating here. We always enjoy it. Definitely recommend this great place.”
“The food was excellent!! The presentation is original and very comfortable since the dishes size are generous. Very good service, very attentive and bilingual. The very Colombian decoration is full of colors and happiness, the place is spacious and full of light. I really liked everything but I would have preferred to listen Colombian music artists.”
“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!”
