We came here last night and the food was absolutely AWFUL! We chose this restaurant because it was the only place serving after 10pm. We'd been here before and it was good, so we trusted that the food was going to be consistent. We ordered the wings and the BBQ Brisket Grilled cheese. The wings were decent. But the sandwich was horrible! It showed up not grilled. No cheese. Just lightly toasted thick white bread with about 2 tbsp. of fatty chopped beef and more barbecue sauce than necessary. I took 2 bites, then gave the rest to my boyfriend. I chose not to say anything as it was late and the kitchen crew was cleaning up to close. The service was good. Our server was nice. The restaurant was cool. The $19 we paid for the worst sandwich ever- is something we'll never do again. Do better Red Heat Tavern.

Not bad not great. Helps that there are shops nearby to spend some time after/before eating but for the food quality and portions I personally felt it was overpriced. Decent beer and drink menu and a good variety of options but I would say the food taste and quality was average.

Solid 4.5 stars. Food is great. Fries are crispy and perfectly cooked. Chicken bacon ranch wrap was well dressed and seasoned. Craft beers are always on point. Haddock with lemon rice and green beans was amazing. I cleared my plate (don't tell anyone). Kids menu is awesome too. Service is fantastic. Very professional, polite staff from managers, servers to chefs. Ambiance is casual. Music at perfect volume. Location is at a strip mall so parking in front of restaurant can be a bit tough depending on time of day. However, there's ample parking behind the restaurant. Great for lunch and dinner. Good for groups. Very casual and trendy.

Went based on loads of good reviews. Server Justin was good. Good beer menu and lots of QR codes to view and pay for everything digitally. Food was average, best thing we had was the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Apparently this chain prides themselves on their proprietary BBQ cooking method, which was not apparent to us at all. Nothing was bad, but nothing knocked our socks off either. Overall fine. Not a place we'd run back to, in fact we'd probably look for something else to try in the area. But, you might love it, it's very safe with something for everyone. Like an elevated Applebees with a good beer selection.

The food was fantastic. Our waitress always made sure everything was OK and it had a great atmosphere. I would recommend this place to anybody and I will be back
Food is consistently good here and today's Brussel Sprouts starter didn't disappoint. The restaurant is attractive, spacious and comfortable with clean restrooms. The service however was really subpar. Waitress took the order (which came out wrong 'cause she wasn't listening) and she brought the check. That was it. Someone else delivered the food, she never refilled my water, never cleared our plates even though we waited for a to go order. Then the minimum tip they suggest on the payment device is 20%? When did gratuity become compulsory? I thought it was gratitude for a job well done or excellency in service. (I'm happy to tip very well if the service warrants it.) I politely explained my reason for a mediocre tip = mediocre service. She replied, I'll take that into consideration

Very good place to grab dinner and drinks. They have a unique menu which everything looks delicious. They're just a little pricey for the quality of food that you get. I would eat here again.

Visited this location for a birthday dinner on a Sunday around 6pm. Ordered the chipotle melt. It was all right. Their Buffalo sauce was very good though.

Great atmosphere, quick service, and delicious food. They know what they’re doing with chicken. My wife and I were glad we ordered the sweet potato fries! Would go back.

The food is out of this world!!!!! The fried chicken is so moist and perfect. I got the honey mustard wrap and garlic parm fries and it was divine!!! My bf got the southern fried chicken and it was phenomenal. Even the nachos and chilli were fantastic! Cannot go wrong here. 10/10!!
We've been a couple times. Good spot. We're not up that way much though. My main compliment this time is our server - Brianna. She was friendly, engaging and patient. She asked if anyone had food allergies then subsequently pointed out what they should avoid. Turns out my daughter's BF DOES have food allergies so, it was good she asked. Nobody in our family does so, it's not something I normally think about. Good thing she did though. Personality and compassion don't grow on trees. She'll be successful wherever life takes her.

This is a great gluten free resturant. Every dish on the menu can be made gluten free. I travel for business and I always come here when I'm in Connecticut.
