“Strange Brew Bar in Norfolk, Connecticut, is known for its laid-back atmosphere and a wide selection of beers, including Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR). PBR has a nostalgic appeal and is often favored for its affordability and classic American lager taste. If you're looking for a casual spot to enjoy a cold beer, Strange Brew Bar would be a great choice! It’s always a good idea to check their current offerings and any special events they might be hosting. Enjoy your visit!”

“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo”

“Delicious dinner tonight from the entrees to dessert! Service was wonderful. Definitely recommend!”

“Amazing food and terrific customer service ❤️”

“Every entry is always greeted with a smile! The portions are perfect sized and the food and desserts overall are just amazing! I get my lunch here at LEAST 2x a week🤞🏾I love it here!”

“My wife got a chocolate peanut butter smoothie, and I got a chocolate raspberry smoothie. Staff was accommodating for my wife's dietary restrictions and made recommendations to us on what to get. Smoothies tasted great, you can tell the ingredients are high quality. Atmosphere is lacking due to the disrepair the strip mall and parking lot are in.”

“My favourite place to work from home, even for someone with newly developed social anxiety. Super chill, the employees are so kind, and the coffee tastes absolutely incredible.”

“Delicious lobster shrimp & scallops over penne! Superb!”

“My wife and I were part of a small group that got a hands-on, behind-the-scenes tour, and I loved their coffee before we went, but I'm a little obsessed after this tour. The amount of effort that goes into their coffee is evident the first time you taste it, and on the tour I gained a greater appreciation for the skill and attentiveness required to make great coffee (we even roasted some and took it home with us). This place is incredible; if you've never had their coffee, do yourself a favor and run, don't walk, to your nearest Big Y.”

“Unbelievably fantastic beer and dining. They have the best grilled oysters in New England. Pair it up with Effed Up On Pilz and you will be in Heaven. They even have Effed Up On Pilz shirts that are a one of a kind. You have to check it out.”

“Been here a few times now and have tried something different each time I have yet to be let down. Food is amazing, friendly staff and a great location to stop and grab a quick bite. Highly recommend this place definitely one of my favorites now.”

“A personal note expressing our gratitude to Irene's staff. My husband Phil's 80th birthday a huge success! I had ordered tons of food, all arrived on time and was piping hot and ready to serve. Each prepared dish was delicious! We received so many compliments on the food, with many asking for name of catering restaurant. You folks are the best! Many thanks! The Murtha's”

“A neat little pub in a nice looking area of Norwich. I had a beef sandwich and a few beers. The sandwich was good and the drinks were cheap. I would recommend if you're looking for a bite.

They also advertised an all you can eat seafood event on Saturdays and I wish I had stopped in for that.”

“My favorite place to go to when I want something light, yet filling! The best coffee & juices around! Highly recommend!”

“Very good philly. The bully is worth every penny.”

“If your in norwich this is a great stop from there pizza yo huge grinders and baked goods aswell..
Can't beat the cost for what you get ...a definite recommendation”

“Yummmm thank you, we will be back”

“WE LOVE THEIR PIZZA!!!! BEST SAUCE, BEST CRUST, BEST EVERYTHING!!!!! �”

“The food was good overall, and I would definitely come back to try some other items. The meat had a really good texture and was cooked well. I was expecting the fried rice to be a little more like Puerto Rican Chinese-style fried rice, with egg, scallions, pork, and more color and flavor. The tostones and fried pork were also good, but I felt they could use a little more seasoning and salt.

What really made the experience for me was the customer service. The hospitality was great, everyone was welcoming, and the atmosphere was nice. Great hospitality makes a huge difference, and that alone makes me want to come back and give other dishes a try.

My only other suggestion would be to give the outside of the building some TLC. From the outside, it almost looks like the restaurant might be closed. Some landscaping, cleaning up the grounds, and making the exterior a little more inviting would make a huge difference with the first impression.

Overall, good food, great hospitality, and definitely a place I’m willing to visit again!”

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.”

“I particularly like their Schezuan and Hunan dishes, and the orange chicken. If you're a fan of spicy food, you won't be disappointed. Their lo mein dishes are also very good. The staff is friendly and the service is great.”

“My son & I went here for lunch. We ordered clam fritters, clam strips, sea scallops, lobster bisque & Fisherman’ platter. Everything was delicious and great! One minor problem that I did notice was that I received bay scallops instead of sea scallops as stated on menu and shown in pictures.”

“I cannot thank Anna enough for our cake! Our baby’s first cake, even! It was so sweet and so delicious! 10/10 would recommend!”

“I work at the Pomfret Baker’s Dozen, so I’ve had my fair share of coffee — but my visit to the Chaplin location absolutely blew me away! The coffee was perfect (hands down the best I’ve ever had), and the manager at the window made it with such care. Friendly service, smooth coffee, and the kind of attention to detail that makes you want to come back every day. Great job, Chaplin team! ☕👏”

“amazing food, had the fish and chips!!”

“One of our favorite pubs ever!! Very warm welcome by all of the staff and the most creative fun bartender ever.”

“Extremely friendly bartenders and atmosphere was great... only suggestion would be to have a better selection of non-alcoholic choices... but definitely 5-star for silverstar”

“Great environment… Recommend 1000%”

“Tried Voc's for the first time tonight and it was great! Ordered a grilled chicken grinder and pepperoni pizza, both awesome. Quick time for pick up, friendly staff when I went in and delicious food. Be back soon! Thank you.”

“Sharon is awesome and keeps the place moving. This was the best part of our otherwise disappointing holiday inn stay. Food was delicious, fairly priced, and came quickly. Kids eat free with adult meal so that was excellent as well.”

“This store is amazing. I was kinda scared to go the first time thinking the store could be intimidating, but it very much is not.

The store is full of amazing products. So much selection and quite well organized. There is a variety of offerings from many different countries. I want to go back soon and try more things.”

“Great food! Get take out!
You can watch the cooks making the food, tho the covid wall stayed up...
Building is old and dining area very....simple.
If you stay inside very long all your clothes and hair will pick up the greasy odor!
Very nice people!”

“If you’re looking for comfort food that’s a little different than your usual, this is the place! Ample filling portions and very friendly counter service. The chicha morada (purple corn drink) is delicious and so refreshing. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu!”

“amazing atmosphere with great pours.”

“Sunday through Wednesday, the bartender does an amazing job with the food, great atmosphere, service and a quiet spot to have drinks for cheap. Love coming here, Lorelei is the best damn bartender in Norwich.”

“I was taking my client to a dr appointment and stopped for a coffee I was immediately focused to the fried chicken and Jojo’s !! I decided to just get a few 3 to be exact, to try them. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he rang up the wings 7.59 for 3 !! Dammit! I said are the potatoes included he said no but I really wanted those dam Jojo’s 10 dollars and 29 cents later I scurried out with my purchase!! I have to admit they were DELICIOUS ? I heartily recommend them”

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers! Some restaurants you can tell just want to take your money and are annoyed at small request made by customers but Engine 6 is not like this you guys come through for me on more than one occasion and I’m forever grateful. Thank You for being amazing!!”

“Had a big order or sundaes Selena made sure all my sundaes we're made perfectly even after I changed an order. The service alone makes this restaurant worth coming to”

“Mike and the Flavorking ice cream trucks are the best!”

“Very beautiful hotel and nice workers they where very nice and helpful deff will come again 😊😉”

“you could taste the fresh ingredients!! loved the antipasto grinder”

“Great food and they are very nice people and their food is authentic I know couseim Puerto Rican but I don't like all Puerto Rican food I'm a tough critic I also am a chef and know how Puerto Rican cuisine should taste like so If you are ever around try the potatoes balls with ground beef inside or a mofongo with pernil it's the best and filling”

“I for one am i big fan of Prime 82! And yes although the food is absolutely amazing, the bartenders and staff there are some of the hardest and most dedicated workers i have ever seen in the food and beverage industry! Not only that, their personalities are amazing! Highly recommend if you have never been there or even if you were there 15 minutes ago!”

“Great food and service. Destiny was an awesome server.”

“Always a great time. Friendly, laid back staff. Excellent service.I make it a point to stop every time I visit Connecticut.”

“Dumplings and rice are good I prefer to drive a bit extra just to get food from here it’s worth it better than any of the other Chinese places I’ve been to”

“Great value for a quick, cheap lunch , Detroit slices n sticks with a soda is under $10 can't beat in a hurry, when the budget is tight, fast friendly service, cooked perfect, tons of rewards and coupons online too , beats a BK or McDonald's meal price ANY day , also wayyy better than Domino's”

“their food is well seasoned and authentic Dominican cuisine.”

“I came in 7 minutes before they closed, told them I knew it was late and was fine if they just wanted to go home, as I could only imagine the frustration of someone last minute. They said it was okay and took my order, nothing big just two items and verified with them it was alright to be ordering extras like fries that late. Turns out they had two people call out and so it seemed to just be 3 of them holding down the fort. Anyways tipped them in cash and thanked them. As for the food?
Burger? BOMB.
Fries? BOMB.

Don’t come in late like I did though, they don’t deserve that, tip them they definitely deserve that.
Thanks again ya’ll.”

“I like everything I have ever ordered from there except the pizza. it's dry, the toppings and cheese separate from the sauce so it's a congealed cheese hunk with dry toppings stuck in it. the crust is too brown and there's no flavor. just bland, tasteless, dry, awful pizza. I've had the taco pizza lol what a joke that was and steak with sausage, dry and a waste of my money. their onion rings are very good, they used to be more fried and less crumbly coating. generosity has dwindled, too. cheeseburger grinder w bacon is good but I don't appreciate the warm lettuce, they don't take modifications or whatever you call that on doordash site ordering occum pizza. owner boy is clueless. I'll still order from here. Moore pizza I just heard is on doordash now :D I order extra sauces because I know some stuff is going to be dry or flavorless but I DON'T GET THEM!! they put ketchup packets on top of the onion rings GROSS so they don't have to give those rings... they piss me off but I'll still order.”

“I highly recommend. This place is a real gem.

I had moved out of town years ago and just recently went back here first time in a very long time. Same excellent quality everywhere on all the items we ordered. Amazing prices. Service is punctual, straightforward, accommodating, and very professional.”

“A wonderful random find! Amazing food!”

“Dairy Queen brings back great memories from years gone by and all year long occasionally I have a meal, which are very good, filling and fun. I occasionally buy an ice cream cake and once in a while go to Dairy Queen for Blizzard treat, i like Strawberry added to Cotton Candy topping & Cotton Candy sprinkles. I have tried a few other flavors. Just as Great. The French Fries & Chicken Fry is Very good. Good Price for Region.”

“Service was excellent and the food was GREAT. It’s a very popular place always busy when I go.”
