“Oh what a great experience and casual dinner. Great service and I loved my Philly thing! So so good. Loved the added horseradish sauce and a bit of lettuce for crunch. So so awesome!“

“Love the food and the atmoshere. The wings are consistently good. Service is great“

“Great food, great service and very nice atmosphere.“

“Great food, great service!“

“We had the pleasure of dining here for the first time this evening! WOW! How have we not tried this restaurant until now?!! Exceptional dining experience! Started with smoked wings and the shishito peppers, which were out of this world good! Fish and chips with fries done in duck fat, Mac n cheese with short rib was soooo good with the Gouda cheese! Julia was an amazing server! It is difficult to find even a good dining experience these days…we would rate this one as exceptional!“

“To start with, I love the thick menu! I love that they give the back stories on the local products/farms they use. And the plethora of options make certain that both my husband and I can find something we like no matter what we're in the mood for. It's also nice to go to a restaurant that has more than the same 6 things everybody else has and to know those items are made with locally sourced products. I can end with a cupcake made from scratch which also supports another small business instead of something premade from the same manufacturer everyone sources their desserts from. It's a win for me!“

“My husband and I tried Bora Restaurant for the first time last night. It was excellent!! The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!! Our waiter was Alton, he did a wonderful job and always addressed my husband as Sir. We would definitely recommend this restaurant!!“

“We hosted my daughter‘s bridal shower at J Law and it was everything we hoped for. Clara, Megan, and the entire team were attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. The private event space was ideal, spacious, welcoming, and flexible enough for us to personalize with our own decor. The food was delicious. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere made everyone feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for another celebration. Thank you, Clara and the J Law team for helping us create such a memorable day!“

“Had lunch today with my sister and daughter Had the pear walnut salad with blackened scallops One of my favorites Unfortunately today the scallops were overcooked like little rubber balls“

“I went to Whitlock's a couple of weekends ago and had the absolute best meal. I ordered the French dip and it was mouthwatering good. My server's name was Tisha and she was honestly one of the best server's I've ever meet. Her smile light up the room and she went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy from the time I walked in, to the time we left. I would recommend Whitlock's to anyone who hasn't been.“

“Excellent!! My parents bought a gift card for us to visit as they always rave about this place. We finally had time to use it for our anniversary over the weekend. Excellent all around.
The atmosphere is perfect. Dimly lit, comfortable seating, classy decorations. Service was top notch all around. Great drinks from the bartender and the food was outstanding.

This is hands down one of the best restaurants around the area and imo, the best in Newtown.“

What a great venue for any celebration! Thank you!“

“Spent seven hours at the baseball fields on father's day and couldn't have been happier to have an hour to grab lunch with my boys. Ordered like ten items a bunch of drinks and it was 50$. Fish and chips looked great, kid said it was awesome. Fried zucchini always my favorite. Wife got a side of fried shrimp. Its just perfect every time. It is what it is. An honest fresh cooked meal quick for cheap. Thank u to the people who work there yall the mvps..super busy and they crushed it. Its a better burger than 5 guys fight me.

“Quite good food and service. Very well executed on basic fare that left me delightfully surprised. The atmosphere lacks polish but is clean and friendly. It’s a place that stands on food and reputation, so if you want a reliable bite and a beer, I would recommend.“

“Had an amazing experience at MacDaddy’s again today. Went there for the first time nearly 10 years ago and they’ve only gotten better, which is hard considering how great my first experience was. Despite being a fast casual restaurant, the service was top tier and the food felt like I was right at home.“

“Excellent food and great service in a beautiful setting.“

“Great staff and service. Great food.“

“My wife and I were fortunate enough to be invited as guests to an extraordinary birthday celebration at Redding Roadhouse. This establishment truly exceeded our expectations. The food was delectable, particularly the steak and vegetables, Cajun dry rub wings, buffalo wings, and their homemade guacamole. A heartfelt thank you to the chef and his entire team for their exceptional culinary skills.

While the food was undeniably delicious, it was the bartenders, waiters, and waitresses who truly elevated the experience to a whole new level. Lauren, Christine, and Pete (who resembled Garrett Dillahunt), tell me I’m wrong, were exceptional throughout the night. They consistently prioritized our needs and made us feel like valued guests. Their warm and friendly demeanor made us feel like we had known them for years. We would eagerly return just to see them again!

We are incredibly grateful for making our first visit to Redding Roadhouse an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. We will undoubtedly be returning in the future!“

“The food was delicious. We had the bao buns Poke Tuna and bao bun Falafel and the Gyro wrap. The chef did such a great job. The the flavors were perfect! Delicious right down to the last bite.
We had to remind our waitress about our drinks, which wasn't horrible but it wasn't crowded and you'd expect your drink before your meal.
The musician on the patio was great. A nice way to end the week and kick off the weekend“

“Just had a great lunch! Nice people, really good food.“

“The food was delicious. The staff was courteous and the service was efficient. My lunch consisted of the chopped salad and the hibiscus refresher, whereas my fiancé had the falafel wrap with fries.“

“I grew up as a CT local and have been coming to T.K.’s for over 20 years… best spot on the planet for wings!!! After my recent move to New Hampshire, my fiancé is just as dedicated as I am to the amazing food, atmosphere and staff and we took a trip down on our motorcycle to enjoy yet another fantastic lunch. Well worth the 3 1/2 hour drive. THANK YOU T.K.’s!!!!“

“The sign on the door says please wear a mask regardless of vaccination status but when I walked in the chump behind the counter making sandwiches has his mask over his chin not covering his nose and half his mouth. What kind of crap is that?“

“Just got way back for dinner and it was delicious. The cheesesteak was amazing.“

“It was a lovely experience, very quick, kind, and I got my food faster than I drove here. My server Mackenzie was very efficient, kind, and helpful. She created a friendly atmosphere, checked in on my table, and served with efficiency even when it was overwhelmingly busy. I will be coming here for breakfast over and over“
