“I love this restaurant and the family that works hard every day. Always quality food for a great price.“

“I look forward to Thursday’s enjoying whiskey and delicious dumplings with my son and sitting outside listening to the little river . The wait staff are so nice. The food is so delicious.“

“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!“

“Incredible rib eye flat bread sandwich and the best crepe dessert ever!“

“Great food, great service!“

“Food was absolutely delicious (best fried calamari I've ever had!), our waitress was fantastic & the owner was a doll. Excited to go back soon!“

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

“Cover Two used to be our go to for wings and other good food close to home. The last two experiences were disappointing. We repeatedly have 3 people crammed on a two top with no room for our food and having to place our beverages on the rail on the wall. There were several open tables with slightly more room, but we were simply moved to another two person table after complaining about the lack of space. We ordered two dishes that included marinara sauce on them. Chicken parmigiana and pasta. There was hardly any sauce on either dish. We told the waitress that there wasn’t nearly enough. We were brought two plastic containers with a little more sauce and to our surprise was charged $2 extra for something that should have been included in the entree.“

“This is a great pubby restaurant. We have been there several times. I hate to ding them but on our last visit, my wife ordered the French Dip - she was in the mood. The server dutifully took the order and then delivered the entree with - wait for it - NO DIP! Like, what? They explained they "ran out of dip". How is that possible? Like ordering a BLT and getting toast w/mayo & lettuce and your server shrugging their shoulders telling you they're out of bacon. This type of disconnect between staff & customers is a bad sign. A sign that someone is just trying to get through their shift. I ordered a pulled-pork Sammy that was pretty good and did indeed have pulled pork between the buns. The onion rings were enjoyed as well. But note to the staff: if you're out of key items that make up the menu - please inform your guests - BEFORE HAND!

“LOVE the restaurant. The staff, the ambiance, the food> HOWEVER, getting TOO pricey!“

“Consistency is the word here. They do what they do, how they do it, each and every time. I go there knowing with certainty, what I'm going to get will taste as it always does.That is important to me. I go that route to my Drs at least twice a month, and that is a staple for me for lunch. I like it.“

“We love the food and the family who runs the business is wonderful! We have been going here for years and have never had a bad meal. Always delicious! Milkshakes are amazing! Love the fried clams, western omelette, hamburgers and fries to name a few! The coleslaw is great too! Had the special today - chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato ranch on a wrap! Delicious!“

“My fiancé and I went here for dinner... WOW! We split our two entrees and ended with homemade tiramisu. (If you love coffee like me this will check every box). The Octoberfest Wienerschnitzel was incredible and flavorful. We loved how seasoned the burger was, and the cook was perfect. Overall, a truly satisfying meal and a new restaurant on our weekly rotation. Thank you, Putnam House!“

“Beside the great food and atmosphere, yours truly host karaoke there every friday night! Only karaoke in Monroe, CT!!!“

“Nouveau Monde never disappoints. I wish it were closer to home, but it's well worth the trip.

Vegetarian options: The cauliflower steak was outstanding!

Kid-friendliness: Leave your kids home, please.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“We were traveling to Maine and decided to stop in for Breakfast/Lunch. Everything was cooked perfectly and service was great. I highly recommend to anyone in the area!!!“

“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 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!!!“

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

“Manager very nice. Staff hard workers. Nice atmosphere“

“I was at a get-together at this restaurant and the food was good. I ordered the delmonico 22oz steak and a side of vegetables. 22oz wasn't the largest steak on the menu, but steak was the main option. The steak was cooked well. The service was fast and good. The waitresses were fast to provide refills. This was a very good stoo.“

“Best Deli / EATERY in town. This place is a hidden GEM ! Everything here is freshly made and the staff are very friendly. It’s hard to find good delis these days in Connecticut but this is the place ! The new owner comes from a long years of experience in the kitchen industry and they are very knowledgeable in what you want to eat. No such thing as language barrier, it’s all about communication and how detailed you are with how you want your order to be made.

Best place in TOWN !“

“It's a quaint little convenience store that sells everything and delicious Bridgewater chocolate.“

“The line makes no sense, you start at the pick up window and work your way to the order here sign. Excellent fries the hotdogs are okay but smaller portions

Kid-friendliness: Very kind

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground level“

“I visited the establishment today to have a meal. I ordered their wings and a grilled buffalo chicken wrap. The food was delicious. We chose to sit outside due to the pleasant weather. Unfortunately, we were seated next to an individual who was having a loud phone conversation. It would have been preferable if he had taken the call elsewhere. Despite this inconvenience, the restaurant was quite busy and the food was served hot and fresh.“

“I went there today for my first time, definitely worth the experience! Staff is very friendly. Their menu has a lot of different options, food is delicious and it didn’t take long at all. Also their prices are very affordable. Very nice place to bring your family or go on a coffee date.“

“This is about the 5th time I've came to this Dennys in Danbury. I've visited myself and with my family and each time the food was good and came out in a reasonable time frame. Mark the manager is very personable, friendly and attentive. This also applies for Patty she's such a character that will have you laughing and feeling good. Overall I recommend coming to this place for affordable, good tasting food and service!“

“The Rathskeller is a comfortable neighborhood restaurant with good food. The new owners, Kate and Nicole, work hard to make it a great place!“

“My girls and I stumbled upon this place and OMG!!!! The food is fantastic, everything we ate was super fresh and delish. How did we not know about this place???? My kids are saying it’s their favorite restaurant and now want to come back for their birthday dinner. The atmosphere is perfect and the staff is soooooo friendly. Our waitress Charlie was excellent, personality on point, I wanna throw her in the take home bag as well hahaha. We had to ask to speak to the manager to tell them how much we love it and he comped our desert! 5 stars all the way!!!! Can we move here so it’s closer lol. Thank you guys ?“

“Great staff and service. Great food.“

“We ended up at this place on my birthday August 18th because we were trying to get to someplace else but because of the terrible flooding event we saw that this place was open while we were so glad to find it. The food was amazing and the staff was so attentive. We had wings which were amazing, a pretzel that was delicious burgers and steak with chimichurri sauce, all of which were phenomenal. We can't wait to go back and try other items. We will definitely be back. Thank you for being open on such a terrible, tragic day. I hope all of the staff made it home safely.

Kid-friendliness: There were others there with children“

“Had a amazing dinner tonight NY Strip With Carrots and Mashed Potatoes every thing was awesome The steak was prepared exactly medium rare and the carrots were to die for the ambience was perfect the staff was excellent the menu overall is very diverse will definitely be coming back“

“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!!!!“

“Ordered a double bacon cheeseburger, bacon cheese fries, and a brownie shake on DoorDash. I had never had Wayback before and it was fine. The burger was very average, the fries were ok, the cheese sauce was a bit watery and flavorless and the bacon didn’t add much. I would have preferred just regular fries. The shake was also fine, though there weren’t any brownie bits like i was expecting. It was basically just a chocolate shake with a singular small brownie in it. Was DEFINITELY not worth the DoorDash price, but in store I would be more forgiving.“
