“jimmys food is excellent! however I was there for the 1st time last week, our waitress was not friendly with us. no personality, no smile..brought our food put it down walked away, said nothing. then 5 mins later, as she was walking by the table threw the receipt down, said nothing. Never came to see if we needed anything else or how the food was, she never offered desert, so we didn't get that. I had to go to the counter and ask for a box, as again she never came back to the table. there were only a few tables full, so she wasn't overly busy, meanwhile I'm watching the other waitress there, smile and laugh with her customers. I wish I knew her name, because she definitely needs to learn people skills. ohh I also heard her complaining to a customer who she must've known, about her training someone and now the other girl is waiting tables and she was not happy that this girl was doing her job basically 🙄“

“Had an amazing dinner here for Valentines. The service was great and the food was DELICIOUS.“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“Just moved back to Oxford and really enjoy this eatery.“

“OMG everything was perfect and served hot. Leaving town tomorrow but coming back for what I'm sure be a fantastic breakfast. Wish we would have found it sooner“

“Amazing food and service in a relaxed atmosphere! We’ll definitely be returning!“

“I hosted my husband’s surprise birthday party in the banquet room. We had over 50 people. It was a great night. The space was perfect, the food and service were awesome! Crystal was our point person and absolutely amazing but, the rest of the staff was excellent too. I highly recommend the Brookside Inn to anyone looking for a great and memorable event!“

“We had a birthday celebration in an Igloo outside tonight !2/10/24. Just 4 of us girls. What a nice time we had. Everything was perfect. Our meals were delicous and our waitress was wonderful. Her name is Heather. She worked so hard to make our night perfect. Thank you Heather!!!!!“

“Great place to eat! Our go to for a great selection and good time.“

“Excellent food. I loved their cold lobster roll, their Maine lobster tastes like eating Maine lobster in Maine. The lobster bomb was amazing! Even the potato salad was surprisingly great. Exceptional restaurant, and it's cool how they do things the classic way in terms of taking only cash or check instead of cards. I wish more restaurants were like this one, I'd eat here a few times every week if I lived closer.“

“We absolutely love this place! We have been twice. The second time was this week with my sister (visiting from England). They were very busy but got us seated fairly quickly. The manager asked if we were from England. We then realized that once we were seated, they were playing British hits over the speakers. It was such an awesome touch for us! The food was incredible. The cheese dip with the pretzel sticks is amazing. My sister thoroughly enjoyed the short rib grilled cheese, and the fish (fish and chips) was as close to home as we've gotten over here. I had the portobello wrap, which was delicious. They make a very yummy kids pudding as well, which our daughter loved. We will be back in the near future. I'm so glad this place is a part of our town ❤️“

“awesome in every way. People are awesome. food is always top notch“

“This place is for sure a hidden gem...A small little mom & pop place that has been around a long time...They are open for breakfast & lunch...6a-2p mon-saturday & 6a-1p on Sunday. I had a grilled ham cheese and tomato and a cup of tomato soup...it was maybe 8 bucks and delicious...a value meal from McDonald's costs more...idk how they keep everything so affordable, but im glad they do...Give them a try...help keep this place going...“

“Awesome beautiful location cam also do catering parties or events. Great service good food. Will visit again.“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

“We tried the pepperoni pizza last night. It was good.“

“Quaint Waterbury tavern with the best owner in town. All the bartenders are pleasant, professional, and accommodating. The history if Wzterbury is embedded in the walls of this iconic bar. Must visit place if you are passing through Waterbury.“

“Everything was delicious and we had good service.They have great deals on breakfast, lunch and dinner.“

“My wife and I stopped for lunch. We love the atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Our waitress Breanna was absolutely delightful. She was so friendly and did a terrific job. We highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back!!!“

“My husband son and I  went to the station for Valentine's Day! We went for an early dinner to beat the crowds which was nice. G Sitting in a booth close to the patio is not recommended as you smell cigars your entire dinner. Although the drink special was too sweet and didn't care for it my chicken franchise was delicious! Our son got the chicken fingers and fries -  they should probably give more than two chicken fingers for kids and also an option for a side like a vegetable.“

“The food is always delicious and prepared how you like it. Its a clean atmosphere with kind and professional staff. The owners are community minded, and generous. They are involved with outreach organizations raising money, awareness, and basic need items for people in need. My son, Richard, enjoys eating at Gayles more than any other restaurant because of how we are treated there, and because he says they have the best burgers, turkey clubs, and milkshakes around!!!!“

“very friendly staff and reasonable prices“

“I was given a Groupon as a gift to go here and was pleasantly pleased! Our waitress was so attentive and everything form the Bread (with soft butter! I hate when it is still hard it was perfect!) the salad was very fresh and we both chose the Chicken Cacciatore which was so good! The place is cute and very clean! We look forward to go back and try something else! I saw the Nachos on someone else's table and they looked really good!!! Thank You!!!!“

“Best place to go for a diner in town“

“Stumbled in randomly and it’s our new favorite! Excellent food, service and vibe!! 🥂“

“I had my Birthday dinner at john’s cafes and it was really delicious,I would highly recommend it for any occasion, love eating there ❤️❤️💯💯“

“Wings 100% and Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls.“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“Beautiful renovated restaurant, amazing views of a spectacular golf course, excellent wait staff, quick service, try the Fig French Martini...great happy hour menu, the brunch menu offers something for everyone, and the happy hour menu is perfect, great prices.“

“Clean pool, healing atmosphere, my favorite getaway in CT“

“I had one of the paste dishes, spicy kind. My wife the steak. Steak temperature was perfect medium and the pasta very flavorful and just the right amount of heat. Service was great and the place was packed! If any the only fail we experienced we the request to sub the mashed for fries.“

“The work for this place is great great food great staff from the chef to the the waitress they are all such great people family rock never ate nothing I didn't like never had to wait on nothing very fast very polite ways taking food home it like if I order something I could eat off it all day sometimes the next day summer coming nicecday they have the patio and ask the chef will make it your way out of 5 stars if I could I give 10 it a,must try and take my word you will be back.“

“I believe they’re the best around for breakfast/brunch in their reasonable and their staff is remarkable“

“Absolutely the best burgers in the West Island...their cajun tatter tots are a great replacement for traditional fries, excellent service. You owe it to yourselves to try their varied menu, but their double bacon cheeseburger is the best.“

“Nice breakfast love it 👌🥓☕☕“

“9.2.23 we got married at our hometown fair grounds and had Frankie’s cater! It was PERFECTION!! Everyone was blown away when they found out that’s what we were having for food, so fun, and who doesn’t love hot dog and burgers (especially FRANKIE’s)?! There was only a couple cooks/servers and MAN OH MAN did they crank it all out! We had around 160 people and they had a line as soon as the food was out, serving up all the goods in such a timely manor. They cooked and served for about 3 hours.. it worked out SO well, many had 2nds and 3rds, plus we had left overs 😍. Everyone was RAVING! we couldn’t have had it any better, Thank you guys SO much!“

“Went to pub 67 last night to watch Nashville drive I have to say this is now my favorite place to watch a band, such a great atmosphere. We had 9 people in our group our server was RJ the food drinks and service were top notch! One of the best burgers I have had in a long time, cooked to perfection soft roll and the Cajun tator tots oh my!! Definitely recommend you stop in and give it a shot! We will be back. Thank you again for a great night Pub 67!!“

“I try to pop into Bailey’s at least once a week and lately I’ve been gravitating towards their Saturday prix fixe menu. Ed is a terrific chef and he has been creating some new,special dinners. I’d like to start by saying that the portions are huge, I’m not sure how they make any money on them. First course was sausage and potatoes with long hot peppers. Absolutely delicious and definitely a shareable plate. Second was a cup of homemade chicken tortellini soup. Main course was crab stuffed filet of sole with a lobster sauce, homemade mashed potatoes and green beans almondine. The dinner is finished with a generous slice of red velvet cake, which I declined because I was stuffed. Half of the appetizer came home with me, but I did finish the rest of it. if I wasn’t starving when I walked in, I probably could’ve easily gotten two complete meals out of this. They normally have three or four appetizers, three or four soup offerings and four main courses, so there’s absolutely something for everyone. How much would you expect to spend on a dinner of this caliber? How about 25 bucks? The atmosphere is comfortable, the patrons are genuine Waterbury folks, the staff is friendly and engaging. Alderman Jeff Hunter lays down some great R&B tracks as a happy hour DJ on Fridays and Sundays. I’ll complete this by saying that I am past retirement age and feel extremely comfortable with everybody here. The kitchen is open until 10 PM.“

“Excellent little hole in the wall, we each had a torta, it was like an entire brunch on a sandwich, incredibly filling. The staff was really nice and friendly. It has a charming homemade interior. It’s quickly become one of our go to places in Waterbury.“
