“We ate here the first time this week. I had the BBQ Short Rib Melted Cheese. It was divine! We'll be back.“

“Wonderful food and service“

“Walking by The Lab on our way to Leaps and Bones, I always look at the creative menu posted in the window of The Lab. Today my pup got some treats and I took home a sandwich that was spectacular! I’m sure my pup and I will both get treats every time we go to Factory Square in the future!“

“I love it !“

“I’ve driven past Philly Grill in Waterbury many times and kind of second-guessed it, but it really surprised me. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with fries and it was amazing—full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and the fries were perfectly cooked. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and my food was brought right to my table. Great service and even better food. Definitely coming back!

Update: I had to come back after how good my first visit was. This time I ordered the lamb and beef gyro with fries and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb and beef were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right, and the lettuce, tomato, and onions were fresh and crisp. Two visits in and they’ve been consistent with both quality and flavor. Can’t wait to try the wings next!“

“Good service with very attentive waitresses. Food is delicious and cooked perfectly. They do have size options for the pancakes so if you are not into giant pancakes you can downsize. Atmosphere is comfortable but not overwhelming. The price is a nice plus to coming here, even though they only accept cash, but that keeps their prices down.“

“Omg the best food. My favorite is the cherry teriyaki wings. Everything I have ordered was fantastic.“

“This place is amazing! Unreal scenery, the food is top notch, the best drinks, friendliest staff. The new ownership really turned this place around!“

“jimmys food is excellent! however I was there for the 1st time last week, our waitress was not friendly with us. no personality, no smile..brought our food put it down walked away, said nothing. then 5 mins later, as she was walking by the table threw the receipt down, said nothing. Never came to see if we needed anything else or how the food was, she never offered desert, so we didn't get that. I had to go to the counter and ask for a box, as again she never came back to the table. there were only a few tables full, so she wasn't overly busy, meanwhile I'm watching the other waitress there, smile and laugh with her customers. I wish I knew her name, because she definitely needs to learn people skills. ohh I also heard her complaining to a customer who she must've known, about her training someone and now the other girl is waiting tables and she was not happy that this girl was doing her job basically 🙄“

“It was great and the outside is beautiful the waiters great Kristen and Cody“

“Hats off to this great place. You can casually hangout for some great wings or bring the whole family for a great dinner. Their menu is very well rounded and has something for everyone. The chef uses the freshest ingredients. And you can always count on some great daily specials. This is a must in the valley since there is nothing else like it. Five stars ⭐️ in my book.“

“The French toast is amazing!“

“Always a pleasant staff….♥️“

“The best sausage egg & cheese EVER! I used TikTok to find this gem. Seems very family orientated , a lot of regulars. I observed the menu seems fair . I would love to come back to try some other stuff. I placed my order to go, only because I was the only person of color. But the main chef made sure my order was correct and I’m glad to have found this GEM❤️✨ Thank you“

“Had the pleasure of trying Mini Munch at Bad Sons Brewery this weekend. The food was delicious, quick service and the owner is a great guy!“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“Excellent food.. great gluten free options! Placed an order for takeout today and received a surprise dessert! Little do you know, I ordered this meal for my mom who spent the entire day in the hospital with my grandma. Seeing this little extra treat after a very busy weekend just reminded me of why I love this restaurant. Thank you for being so good to your patrons. Will continue to recommend this restaurant to all. 🫶🏼“

“Amazing family experience. Very accommodating for special needs families. Fun down to earth environment. Affordable. Employees have a great pride in all they do. Highly active & supportive in the community. Will be back.“

“I ordered a filled bagel and a cupcake. The service was very friendly and warm, and quick though there was quite a queue. The bagel was excellent, great taste, with a small side salad. The cupcake was really moist and beautiful, the buttercream very creamy, and tasty all-in-all, though very sugary! I would recommend this place for the excellent bagels and kind service, and the cupcakes for the ones with a sweet tooth. Maybe an idea for the future to have some sweet products that don't pack quite as much sugar, but I'm definitely coming back for another bagel!“

“The supervisor Derick is very friendly & has lots of patience he always gets my order done correctly with no delay…“

“Just had our first meal here. The entire restaurant is filthy. Our dishes that held our silverware were reused. Our table was dirty To where we washed it with our drinking water. We were ready to leave but had put in our order and wanted to try food. The food Was decent but pricey for amount you got. Called manager over to show him how thick the dust was on ledge where everyone sits And eats. He said he was new. Not an excuse. Restaurant was empty now I know why. The whole place smells dirty as soon as you sit down and have to breathe in one spot. This restaurant will not last if things don't Change. It will be a repeat of Chips restaurant all over again.“

“Beautiful atmosphere, great food, great service“

So check these out ,Tacos that eat like a meal and it taste like the good lord himself is doing a flavor Harlem shuffle in yo mouth. Teddy B's Restaurant . Always leave room in your heart for these tacos! These would bring our country into Harmony, lowering crime rates, anonymous postings and sign thefts! Even in Lil ole’ Bethany. Noooo Doubt! Awesomeness!“

“Best place to go for a diner in town“

“A wide selection of different dishes. This can be detrimental to the quality a restaurants food, but no issue here. Friendly staff, and a very cool vibe in the train station. Easily the best eatery in Naugatuck if youre looking for high quality food at a sit-down place.“

“We had an outstanding soup to nuts dinner tonite on the deck. The food & service were outstanding. Family run& treated us like family. Fresh fish & everything made to our liking. Chef came out to personalize our needs. Not your ordinary diner! This was quality food & preparation. Can’t wait to come back!“

“We had a fun time celebrated a friend birthday! We really enjoyed the competition game. Food was delicious! Would definitely recommend it for a group outing“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“Our order: 1st plate: sausage & 2 eggs toast & 1 pancake 2nd plate: omelette with green peppers; tomateo & cheese ( no toast or meat) 1 pancake ---1 cup of coffee each!! COST: $33.34! Outrageous! The young waitress forgot to put in for 1 pancake as partner requested a little late but she completely forgot altogether & then told us it was almost done, should have admitted dde forgot to put in for it! Then she never came back to get us a 2nd cup of coffee. Busy at times but it only takes 10 seconds to pour coffee & the mugs are extremely small! Seems she catered to larger tables (bigger tips)! Way too expensive for the poor service. Prices on menu online are not updated“

“Stumbled in randomly and it’s our new favorite! Excellent food, service and vibe!! 🥂“

“We live in town and had never been to this restaurant, but decided we should support our local businesses more. My dining partner had the stuffed chicken breast which he enjoyed immensely. I ordered the Bronzino with dill sauce. The buttery dill sauce maybe could’ve used a little bit more acid like lemon but it was very enjoyable. The rice pilaf was cooked perfectly, and the beans were also cooked nicely with some sautéed garlic and butter. Service was spot on.“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We have been here twice in the past month; once with friends and once just my husband and myself. Both times were excellent. The food and drinks were amazing, the staff were so friendly and professional and the atmosphere was great. The prices are very reasonable also. This is one of our new favorites. Thank you for a good experience.“

“I highly recommend you all come out . The food is absolutely amazing staff so friendly it’s a family like atmosphere. They have a beautiful area to sit down to eat . This is my weekly spot“

“This place has the BEST mac & cheese!! So much so that it was my first pregnancy craving last year. 😂 super creamy, flavorful, and a huge portion that lasts me at least 2 meals!!“
