Restaurants in Bristol

“Such a delicious little restaurant! I’m vegan, dined at Foglia with my carnivorous husband and we both loved it. The food is fresh and delicious and has multiple layers of flavor. It was such a treat. After our meal, Chef Pete came out to talk with us about our meal. Will definitely return.”

“I would love it if this place did cooking classes too.”

“First off, the star of the evening was our server Michelle! She’s a gem! It was our only restaurant during our vacation where service staff made us feel like they were truly welcoming us in and wanted us to have a great experience vs just going through the motions. Everyone had a genuine smile and seemed to love their jobs. The food and decor was just as fabulous. It really felt like a French bistro. The carrots were our favorite dish (recommended by Michelle) and the flourless chocolate torte was a close second. I don’t know how they got the skin so crispy on the chicken but I’ll be dreaming about it.”

“Everything was delicious and homemade. Shared the Mexican boat which we couldn’t finish. Just the right spice and guacamole & pico wonderful”

“Absolutely love Sunset Cafe. Service is wonderful, atmosphere is top notch and the waitstaff is amazing. Now the food, what can I say, I haven’t had a bad meal there. Super fast and absolutely scrumptious. This is our go to for breakfast weekly. So happy to have found it and always look forward to going again!!”

“Had lunch there today and don’t know why it took me so long to go! The owners are wonderful with their over the top service, my tuna melt was mmm-mmmm good - loved it!”

“Great food! Fun atmosphere”

“I had a birthday celebration at this restaurant. We sat near the cozy fireplace on a chilly night. The cheeseboard (varied cheeses, focaccia bread, honey, blackberries, nuts, jam, greens) and Pt. Judith calamari were beautifully presented. Excellent bottle of Pinot Grigio from Tuscany, Italy added to food, Staff was very accomodating. I enjoyed mussels, scallops, little necks over pasta in scampi sauce. Others had the salmon as well as the bolognese. It's a very roomy, quiet setting near the water. Staff came out to sing happy birthday with a luscious ice cream dessert with a candle on top. I was pleasantly surprised. We will return to this place for sure!”

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed”

“BHOP is my favorite place to visit when I come back to Bristol.”

“Fantastic food. This place is wonderful. Great food and very friendly staff. We’ll be back for sure!!! They offer a $3.00 byob fee if you bring some alcohol. Cool option for folks that want alcohol with dinner.”

“some of the best pizza and calzones you'll ever have. The buffalo chicken calzone is my absolute favorite. I go whenever I get the chance, which isn't too often, but when the time comes, it's always a great experience. From the husband and wife who do an amazing job, to the food, this place is a diamond in the rough. With all of the lower quality pizza places around, we need more places like nellos to give us what we all deserve, Top notch and delicious food ❤️”

“What a great restaurant. The onion soup is world-class, as was the Steak Frites. Great drink selection. We had the Grenache red wine and were very impressed. The warm bread and olives is a must order and outstanding value. Can't say enough good things about our meal and experience at Le Central.”

“I’ve ordered both of my kid’s 1st birthday cakes from here and Paul always does an amazing job! Everyone loved the cake, the way it looked and tasted! So many compliments. Cake gallery is the best!”

“Amazing atmosphere ! I will return!”

“a great place….to enjoy the well-prepared food, to greet friends, enjoy the friendly people and the home-like atmosphere….”

“Jules Ice cream is the absolute BEST in Bristol! We live in Michigan, and visit often. The staff are simply wonderful. If they are ever having an overwhelming or bad day, you would NEVER know. They always greet you with a welcome, hello & smile. Oh, the waffle cones are scrumptious and the selection of ice cream is fabulous!”

“Thanks for preparing a fantastic New Years take out dinner. The shrimp Mozambique was outstanding. See you soon.”

“cheap drinks, great staff!”

“THIS IS A TRUE TO FORM NEIGHBORHOOD CAFE IN THE OLD TRADITION, IN THE FAM FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY..all fam owned and all original to the ears, eye and touch..a gem a real place filled with real people, friendly, rustic and very kool indeed... being a proud East-Bayer for more than three decades, this place should be on your list of "check this out"... stop bye and tell them "Papa Angelo" sent you... enjoy”

“Finally had a chance to try Gray's ice cream. Went with a coffee oreo frappe. Thought it was pretty good. The oreo crumbles were pretty light. Now the green straw on the other hand was borderline awful. Constantly collapsing making it a challenge to drink. The struggle started taking away from the overall enjoyment.”

“Definitely would recommend”

“Great food & drinks”

“Every meal is always fresh and delicious.Some of the best gravy I’ve ever had. Parmigiana is delicious and the portions are huge. Staff treat you like family and you will want to come back again and again”

“amazing food with a family friendly atmosphere!!”

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp”

“good food, but charging for takeout utensils is just plain cheesy”

“Cozy and quiet. A perfect place to sit and drink morning coffee while getting some quick work done. Each booth has an outlet to plug in your device which was so handy! I’ll definitely be back! 10 out of 10!”

“Pizza cold and undercooked. Meals arrived different times.”

“I love Dunkin'. Just hate when they mess up my coffee. 😭😭😭.”

“Tasty great sandwiches loved it 😍”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We visited **Aidan’s Pub** on **February 25** for dinner and had such a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly — **Riley**, our waitress, was incredibly friendly and made us feel like old friends. She took our drink order promptly and treated us with genuine hospitality.

We had a tough time deciding on food because the menu had so many interesting choices, so we split a couple of dishes — the **fish and chips** and the **Mild High meatloaf** — and I would *strongly recommend both*! The fish was cooked perfectly, and the gravy on the mashed potatoes was savory and smooth. Every bite was delicious.

The **service was top-notch**, and the manager **Roxy** was also friendly and welcoming, treating us with the same warm hospitality. It felt like dining with great friends in town rather than just at a restaurant.

We hadn’t been to Aidan’s in a long time, and this visit reminded us why we loved it. We’ll definitely be back”

“We hosted our daughter’s first birthday at Portside Tavern, and it was truly the best experience from start to finish. The event space was spacious, clean, and perfect for a private celebration. Set-up was easy, the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly, and the food was excellent. A special shout-out to Caroline, who was wonderful to work with and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Portside Tavern for any private event. We’ll absolutely be back!”

“Been there for the second time with Children..Very delicious food...”

“Very upset that quitos is up for auction what did Albert do wrong I pray and hope that it stays a restaurant it's a hidden gem for the town of Bristol , you will surely be missed Albert”

“Not sure why there are any bad reviews. Classic is always super clean, staff is always super friendly and nice. Their pizza is so much better than expensive Pios next to them. Very underrated, we always get pizza from there and always will!!”

“Great view sitting waterfront, and service was good. Food was okay, but here is the breakdown: Beet salad was small, but fresh and had great toppings. The Philly cheesesteak did not have much flavor (bland) but the fries were crisp and flavorful. They were out of half the Yacht Soda options.”

“Always a great experience at The Lobster Pot!”

“Solid Chinese spot for in town. Just your average local Chinese spot. I enjoy the wonton soup and general tso combo plate and the beef teriyaki. Those are my go to options! 😋”

“We sat out on the patio. It was perfect for dinner-table conversation. The sunset view was beautiful. The food and service were wonderful. The ice cream was delicious and so many flavors to choose from.”
