“Amazingly good food! My husband and I were in Norwalk, CT for a wedding and the following day we were looking for a "brunch" place before heading back to Middletown, CT. Did a Google search and saw the reviews for Herb's Place. While it wasn't the sit down we were thinking of, I'm really glad we went. The food was SO good! We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.“

Great food including fried okra and a very nice place for some great BBQ and did I mentioned they've got fried Okra , if I did , it was worth saying it twice again. ?“

“TL;DR: Do yourself a fa ir and stop by on the weekend when it’s open or find the food truck on Instagram.

Full Review: Now, I didn’t expect much from BBQ in CT, let alone in Greenwich, but whoa, super pleasantly surprised!! We had a brisket sandwich at a festival and literally came to the storefront the next day because the sandwich was soo much better than expected. The brisket and pulled pork plate did not disappoint—both juicy and well flavored! The cornbread was so good, we didn’t even need the butter. The baked beans weren’t overly sweet and season very well. We moved from the DC area and travel frequently, and this spot is legit. Of course Texas, NC and Missouri have the best of the best, but honestly, this is some of the best BBQ I’ve had since moving to the NYC area.

Wheelchair accessibility: Storefront and parking lot are pretty flat, but some parts of parking lot has a slight slant.“

“Wow. I just had their Italian inspired pork belly sandwich at the Italian festival in Stamford. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I was hesitant to write this review because it was so good I want to keep at a secret all to myself. I'll definitely be going back for more and hope they get a brick and mortar space soon!“

“Our family has been a patron of Gogi Korean Steakhouse (formerly Wafu) since inception in 2019. We have dined there at least 25 times in the period 2019-2023. (Wafu/Westport opened in 2019 and was owned by the 4 founders of "Tuck Gin" + Simon & Elaine Chen of Westport. The quality of food went down during Covid. In 2022, Wafu/Westport closed temporarily. The restaurant was re-opened later in 2022, this time with Simon & Elaine Chen as owners and managers. Oh, what a difference the change in ownership brought about!) GOGI LOREAN STEAKHOUSE IS SIMPLY WONDERFUL! Simon & Elaine refined the menu, keeping what were originally the best selections and making them even better. Our family favorites (which we order almost every visit, while trying other dishes for comparison) include: * Seafood Pancake (crispy to perfection and stuffed with a variety of seafoods) * Bulgogi (entree sauteed to tender perfection at the table - ask for marinated) * Pork Belly (a close second favorite entree, prepared same as the Bulgogi) Simon personally visits and/or serves each table, making sure everything meets the customers' expectations. This is hands-on ownership and management in the very best sense of the phrase. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TWJ (Westport, CT)“

“We celebrated my son’s birthday here and the staff was amazing. They made us feel very welcomed, I felt like I was on a vacation! Our server Christian was the best, so kind and attentive. In addition, the food and margaritas were amazing. This is a hidden jewel in Westport and there’s plenty of parking in the lot by Starbucks. It is also well priced. I highly recommend it. ?

Parking: Restaurant is in the Westport shopping area. Plenty of street parking and a free parking lot.“
