“By far the best and freshest Oysters and Clams on the market in the area“

“Good food,great people! Always a friendly relaxing environment.“

“5 ⭐️We went here to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from Sacred Heart University. Their location in Trumbull near the college was over an hour wait. Found out there was a second (original ) location in Stratford, On the phone they told us to come right over, they were waiting for us. When we arrived they welcomed us with open arms, were super friendly and super attentive. They treated my daughter like a super star. The food was delicious and the cocktails were so creative and tasty. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and the help is extraordinarily polite and helpful. Our new favorite Italian restaurant!“

“Fantastic place for dining! Excellent food and staff!“

“I stopped here for dinner after shopping at Bass Pro Shops/Cabelas, it was a good little find. I had some clam chowder and steamed clams, both were very good, they had good beer on tap too. Place had a good blue collar New England fisherman feel to it, great bartender, and its location felt like the kind of place which may be next to the dock the seafood is unloaded at. I’ll be back especially if riding my motorcycle on the CT turnpike as this place also appeared very friendly towards bikers.“

“made reservations and it took 30 minutes of not even having our drink order taken and having to say something before getting service. Two of our party had their chairs collapse (and no, they were not obese). Waitress was lovely, however, walked into the restaurant to use the bathroom to find several other waitresses loudly talking about how annoged they were by our table. Went back in to let my son use the restroom and they were speaking badly about another table. needless to say, wont be back. which sucks because our boat is there.“

“Food and service is the best!“

“I have had multiple delicious lobster rolls and tacos from this place. Great bisque too!“

“Nicole was amazing !!! She was Great … very attentive and got every order correct. Thank you Nicole from Hook and Hook & Reel Cajun Seafood & Bar“

“Amazing job on the renovation inside and out, cannot wait to taste some of your new menu choices and looking forward to the best lobster roll in CT!!“

“I haven't been to this place in forever since they removed it from Massachusetts but you can never go wrong with a nice seafood place that serves lobster 🦞“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff is super friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Santana helps pick the BEST dishes!! The environment is cozy, chill, and relaxing — it’s just a place to go when you want some good food and a calm night! Now the FOOD is FIVE STARS!! Never had an issue and I’ve been here many, many times. Always cooked to perfection. The dessert is yummy and their special coffee is the best I’ve ever had… If you have never been, don’t walk, but run… (:“

“Ordered a tray of thin sliced corn beef on Sunday . Meat was so tender and delicious . Everyone raved . 👍🏼🍀“

“Been here a number of times for lunch. Fried clams are very good, soups good. Tartar sauce very mild, very disappointing-ketchup works but why such a continuous let down?“

“Fantastic fish, service, & atmosphere“

“Always get our King Salmon here! Always order lunch too. The BEST FISH N CHIPS in CT, hands down!!! Better than many other big name seafood places and 1/2 the price. Fish was flaky, melt in your mouth quality. Breading was just right for the thick pieces (2) of cod you get with the meal. We will get fish n chips every time we shop. Wide variety of different offerings that are fresh. Employee (s)/owner incredibly knowledgeable. A go to for holiday time.“

“Delicious lobster roll, fries and onion rings! Not inexpensive but super tasty. We took ours to the beach down the street and ate them there“

“Stopped in because I was in the area and saw this place had good reviews. The food is delicious definitely recommend! The pernil empanadas were yummy and flavorful and the tostones were flat and crispy just how I like them. The chicharrones were delicious too and I’m sure would be better if they were fried in the moment. What made the experience even better the owner is such a sweetheart. Spoke to me the entire time and told me the story behind his business, I wish him all the success may God bless him.“

“We ate here last night and the food and service were wonderful! What was even more wonderful was the customer service when I left my purse at the restaurant. I called later that night to see if it was there. They were so kind and kept my bag and made arrangements to get it to me this morning before they opened. Would definitely go back!“

“We ordered 4 different appetizers and 4 different entrees, everything was AMAZING! Food came out perfect, cocktails were deliciously balanced, great atmosphere, and Samantha did an outstanding job taking care of us. Definitely going back, highly recommended. 10/10“

“Very delicious food and good service“

“One of the best meals I’ve had, cooked to perfection. The homemade pasta and sauce was delicious. So many other delicious dishes on the menu to try. Waitstaff were very pleasant and Sonia and family made us feel welcome. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Last night we were there for an early Birthday dinner for me! It's been a long time since we've dined at Ralph 'n' Rich's, but I will say that our food was delicious, & the service was superb! Brittany was our server, & she was awesome! I can't recall our busboy's name but he was great with bringing bread to our table, & refilling our water glasses as needed. I had the baby arugula salad special to start, & it was so tasty & the perfect beginning before having an old favorite of mine, linguine with white clam sauce. My hubby really enjoyed the Spiedina Romano which is a kicked up mozzarella appetizer that if he fully polished it off, he wouldn't have ate his Chicken Piccata then tangerine sorbet afterwards! Don't worry, we brought home leftovers to enjoy! Topping off things was a surprise singing of "Happy Birthday" when my tartufo came out! Reservations are strongly recommended especially for dinner, but Ralph 'n' Rich's is a gem that's had staying power in Downtown Bridgeport for many years. Go there & enjoy!“

“Service is impeccable! The food is outstanding Great drinks and wines to choose from. Last but not least the entrepreneur is one of the nicest people!! This placevis a big 10!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Once again last night you did not disappoint me. Food was great, Service was great, Drinks, well, Espresso Martini, I can drink them all night. I don't have a unpleasant thing to say. Was there with some friends of mine and their daughter who's back from school for a long weekend. No pictures of food, you know what your food looks like. Probably 50% cheaper than some of the restaurants a little further down the Post Rd in Fairfield Center that I drove by. I never feel rushed at your place. Thanks again for making a special night even more special.“

“I tried everything here, everything is cooked to perfection.
Clam Chowder is the best here.
Hot lobster rolls are awesome, delicious, the dinner is very reasonable price it comes with fries and coleslaw 😋.
Every item is made In house (Tatar, Coleslaw, Cocktail Sauce, Breading the seafood) everything is made per order.“

“some of the best shrimps you'll buy short of going to Jimmies of Savin Rock“

“Valentine's Day date night, wonderful dinner menu, chef Richard made a wonderful steak and grilled lobster. Collen was must attentive. Praise to owners Brad and Maureen for their attention to details. this restaurant is worthy of your consideration and support.“

“great fresh seafood.. ordered a whole belly clam basket..good portion size and cole slaw very fresh...can't wait till next visit!“

“Good food terrible service , just the way I like it . I can count how many times I’ve been here and felt respected as a customer , yet I keep going back . Spectacular food , bad service , also get the randoms to stop crowding the register.“

“11.3.24 My 1st time visiting and eating Portugese food. The service was excellent. The food was flavorful and delicious. It was a bit loud with the screaming kids around us, but that just added to the atmosphere. If I loved closer, I'd be here again very soon.“

“Amazing place for summer vibes. Food is great and reasonable with amazing lobster. There was live music with a decent crowd and plenty of sitting in and outdoors for families or smaller groups. Bar up stairs giving a separate adults only area were you can relax and have an incredible view overlooking the restaurant/docking area. Will return.“

“Been wanting to try it for a long time and Covid made it difficult. Finally got a great seafood queen item- fast delivery , amazing taste, and flavors. Definitely be ordering again“

“Fresh, delicious, homemade food served by a pleasant, professional staff. Highly recommended.“

“They were so accommodating in changing an appetizer to an entree and a specific sauce on gnocchi, when we brought some quarantined relatives appetizers, entrees and deserts, last week. They raved about everything and the price was fantastic!“

“Not only the best curry n rice with fresh veggies I have likely ever had... the sweetest staff ... what a team... my highest recommendation!! YUMMM“

“Great breakfast and coffee“

“I highly recommend BRYAC Restaurant & Bar!!! The atmosphere is cool and inviting. The customer service is wonderful. And the food and drinks are delightful, delectable, & reasonably priced. Be sure to visit & dine at BRYAC's ... Your palate will thank you!!!... smile Lisa L. Jackson Glen Mills, PA (Bridgeport, CT native)“

“ordered for dinner! love it that they are on Uber now! the gizzards are the best!! but tonight it's pulled pork and it is ssssoooo good!!“

“Great place for dining and drinks, especially when you compare it to the other establishments in the area. The best quality is the service, which is surprisingly pristine considering how busy this place gets, especially during happy hour. The place can be packed to the brim with people, and you will still get served quickly without diminishing the quality of the food/drinks. You can watch the bartenders make the drinks in front of you, and they serve you within minutes without cutting corners, before moving onto the next person. I’ve seen places half as busy, take twice as long to serve their patrons.“

“Went last night for the first time to celebrate my birthday with my granddaughter. The food was great and we were treated to the best waiter and manager. The service was the best that i have had in a long time and made us feel so special. The veal dish I had was wonderful, Large portion for the price and my granddaughter had the chicken parm and she couldn't finish her dish. I will definitely go again and tell my friends about this gem of a restaurant“

“We had a wonderful first dining experience here. The food was fantastic and the athmosphere was so refreshing but the stand out of our visit was Kemar. Working as a restaurant assistant Kemar was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly attentive, polite and energetic ensuring our entire experience was remarkable.“

“Unico! me encanto ♥️ la comida muy riquisima y elegant! hoy prove Camarones Al ajillo y bandeja paisa 👌“

“what a delightful experience we had this evening! from the moment Pizza Palace politely answered the phone when I called, to the wonderful and thorough recommendations given to me when I asked about the menu, I was thrilled I called this local fine eatery. my gosh, the food! I highly recommend anything they make but the pizza and calzone we ordered were prepared to perfection. oh and the homemade sauce for the calzone was Devine! I for one am glad we had a Pizza Palace Day!! gratefully, mrs. dobeck Fairfield, ct“

“Bock Oyster Bar is a stunning waterfront destination at Steelpointe Harbor that offers a fantastic atmosphere for coastal dining. The gorgeous, panoramic views of the water provide the perfect backdrop for enjoying a refreshing cocktail and a wide selection of fresh choices from the raw bar. Between the prompt service, lively modern vibe, and beautiful outdoor patio, it is an incredible spot to unwind for a weekend lunch or dinner.“

“Wife and I frequent Mr.Crab every few months and have nothing but kudos for the staff ,service and food. We usually order feast for two and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend this establishment when in the area.“

“(Translated by Google) I loved the food for the first time I ordered it, it made me feel like I was eating in my country and very good customer service(Original)Me encanto la comida primera vez que pido me encanto me hizo sentir como comer en mi país y muy buena atención al cliente“

“After passing by here from driving my daughter around town, I had to try! Told my bf to come here with me for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. At first I thought they were closed, but their light was just off awaiting a customer, so don't be discouraged to walk in if you see the light off. They been open for 3 months now.
We ordered several tacos of chicken, chorizo (very spicy), and mixto that comes with lengua, steak, and al pastor. My favorite was the steak. Everything seasoned well with good portions. Only complaint is that the chicken could have been juicier.
Inside the sell hand crafted items. Man bought the boot shot glass and I got the clay salt and pepper shakers.
So if your passing around, I suggest you give them a try.“
