“I usually Don’t write food reviews but I’m fat sooooo….Ever have those tacos that claim to be a meal but eat like a snack , making you scramble to hit Dunkin afterwords for a coffee and a donut just because it doesn’t do it for you. So check these out ,Tacos that eat like a meal and it taste like the good lord himself is doing a flavor Harlem shuffle in yo mouth. Teddy B's Restaurant . Always leave room in your heart for these tacos! These would bring our country into Harmony, lowering crime rates, anonymous postings and sign thefts! Even in Lil ole’ Bethany. Noooo Doubt! Awesomeness!“

“Everything is always so good here! I love that you get soup AND salad with your meals plus lots of bread warm and fresh. The portions are huge and delicious!

“I have zero complaints about this establishment. Great food, great service, great atmosphere.“

“The Village Cafe is one of my favorite places for breakfast and lunch. A true hidden treasure in the heart of Ansonia. The quality of the food made here is second to none, and the value for what you pay can't be beat. I always order the house salad with grilled chicken & my co workers love the chicken breakfast burrito, but we have tried pretty much everything on the menu and it is all equally as good. The Village Cafe team is top notch and I am so thankful to have such a wonderful place nearby.“

“Great place to chill, eat and listen to bands.“

“Best bar in West Haven. I mean if you are going to dance and pay for overpriced shots then no. This is not your place. If you are looking for a bar where everyone knows your name and the beer is always cold and served right then this is your place.“

I highly recommend Square Peg and will definitely be back.“

“I’ve never really written a restaurant review before, but Parker was honestly incredible. The portions were generous, the prices felt very fair, and everything we ordered was great.

What really stood out was the owner coming over and personally taking care of us. We were a group of 16, including 8 kids, which isn’t exactly an easy table, and they handled it effortlessly. Drinks were on point, the music was great, and the whole vibe of the place just works.

Definitely one of those spots you leave already planning your next visit. I just wish they’d open a location on Long Island.“
