“It's Sunday and every once in a while... more often than not, we brunch! Lol. We heard about the bottomless mimosa brunch here at Cast Iron Chef Chop House & Oyster Bar so we pulled up to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the busy State Street is this gem. There's no private parking, but plenty of comfortable, spacious street parking right out front. Once inside you're immersed in a very fine-dining, elegant, laid-back atmosphere. Lots of woods, intimate-low lighting and upbeat music. I loved the vibes in here. The first room is your bar room where the rail is off to the left, but with plenty of seating to the right. If you continue through the room you enter the main dining room where it's all booths and other tables. Service: Stacey was our server. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start, but they smoothed out throughout the brunch. Food/Drinks: The mimosa was okay... It was REALLY strong because there's orange vodka and orange liqueur in it. It kinda killed the flavor for me because I'd prefer a traditional mimosa with minimal juice, but... no matter. They're bottomless... or supposed to be... Just be mindful of who your server is. Brunch can consist of a prix-fixed menu, which is what we did so we'll be going through that. First up were the Homemade Sausage Gravy and biscuits. These were super smothered and fantastic. Hot, savory, meaty, salty and even had a bit of a subtle sweetness. The biscuit was soft, butter and had crispy edges. Next up were the Cinnamon Rolls. These were HUGE. Lol. Like, how are we supposed to eat AND drink all of this stuff?! The exterior of the roll was crispy and the inside very soft. Not over-the-top sweetness or anything. These were very balanced. Next up were the Bananas Foster Pancakes. But this thing was enormous. It was so thick, like literally an inch thick. Lol. Fresh bananas sliced right on top, it cut like butter, was soft with the perfect crispy edges and these were AMAZING. Punch of sweetness up front, fluffy texture and just a great pancake. For dinner, this restaurant usually serves Cast Iron Popcorn instead of bread, so Stacey let us try it! It was smokey, a little-little sweet with a little bit of salt and maybe a hickory barbecue flavor. I liked it. Lastly, I chose the Steak & Eggs over Salmon & Eggs, but got to try both since my wife was with me. Each comes with gigantic fried potatoes, 3 eggs, a piece of toast, caramelized onions and your protein of choice. My steak was cooked perfectly (medium-rare). The flavors were excellent. It was a little fatty and just was done very well. Value: $64.96 for bottomless mimosas and the prix-fixe menu. Probably the best value brunch in the state. SO MUCH FOOD and strong drinks. I don't know what else you'd want! In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and have revisited since my first time! Everything was just as awesome as the first. Check this place out if you're in the area!“

“Today was my first time trying Shah Food, and I ended up going back twice in the same day. I tried the chicken burger first, and within two hours I was back for the hot wings. Their spicy sauce is really good. I grew up eating spicy food, so I can handle heat, and theirs has flavor and a kick.

The chicken and meat taste very fresh, not rubbery at all, and the bun on the burger was crispy in the best way. I’m already looking forward to trying the gyro next. Exam week has me hungry, and Shah Food is definitely becoming my go-to comfort spot.

Staff is very nice. Their shop is clean as well.

Highly recommend!“

“I love eating at this Burger King. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. They don't make you wait long. The food comes out super fast. Everything is fresh, hot, and delicious. They have ample parking, the place is lively with soft music, and everything is very clean. The entire staff greets you with a smile and gives you a crown. I always have a very good experience.“

“Highly recommend the beef pita and fries. It was outstanding. The service was great. prices is prices match the food. I recommend anyone in the Southern Connecticut State area come here to eat. You will not come away disappointed.“

“Today was our first time in a Shake Shack Restaurant. Ordering was a quick process and our food was ready within a good 10 minutes or so? I ordered the Smoke Shack Double with French Fries and a 50/50 Lemonade/Iced Tea. My fiancé ordered a 6 piece of Chicken Bites….Hot, Juicy and Delicious. The Smoke Shake Double is my added to my personal list of “Favorite Burgers” 1. Five Guys Orange 2. Shake Shack New Haven 3. Prime 16 Orange 4. Prime Burger Ridgefield“

“Great Irish pub! Definitely a must if you’re in New Haven !“

“Service was not the fastest and customer service was super neutral but two rodeo burgers with extra onions and pickles are the best combo for $5. Fresh, hot, flavorful and fulfilling. Gotta try it despite them having the duo meal deal for $5 or trio meal deal for $7. Ate it so fast and my phone died so I did not take a picture. I'm trying to eat healthy but flame broiled burgers from BK are incomparable. Only thing I'd like is for rodeo burgers to be more affordable like they used to be despite inflation.“

“I loved the Nashville chicken sandwich, fries and passion fruit lemonade. Absolutely delicious!!!“

“Came to do trivia visiting from San Diego, CA. I gotta say what a good time! They have great food, greater drinks and impeccable service. Our server was Michelle and she was fantastic! We ordered the fish and chips and the turkey sub with fries. Both were delightful! We came in last place for trivia and got a consolation prize! ? Great times, good food, good people. Highly recommend for a casual night out for food and drinks!“
