    steak, potatoes, and bread

    I moved away from CT 20 years ago and was absolutely ecstatic to come back here and see things were still as amazing here as they were back then! Such an American classic they should landmark this place. Holds a special place in my heart as my grandpa used to bring me here. Please never change, everything from the food and super friendly staff are great!

    No taste in this food.

    Overpriced. Scallops were hard, like rubber. Baked potato tasted like it was heated in the microwave. Mac was tasteless. Don't come here, ever.

    I have worked there for five years their food is great! Especially their ribs , Chris Gill makes the best ribs thus far. I started working there when I was 17 first job ever ..hired on the spot by Miss Isabel since 2016 now in 2020 I put in my flag at the age of 22 to start my new journey. If you want good quality food you should come to American Steak House. My favorite two dishes were the #7 , #13 with the #1 Sirlion filet steak. I'm going to miss everybody. -Micalah Wright

    they have the best sandwich combos ever. I love their phiilysteak with onions and peppers and cheese. It is fantastic. Can't beat the price of 6.99 with fries and a drink. Best lunch spot in CT.

    Proof of the price that was sold before

    Over all the staff could be a bit more friendlier. The food is always cooked well and the salad bar is very excellent.

    We've been here two times and overall it's been a positive experience. The service was very good,…read morethe food and drinks were tasty and the atmosphere was good as well. The prices were on par for similar establishments - which is a little high across the board in this state, but that's just how it is. There is really only one problem here, and it's the seating. While the wrought iron chairs may have been an aesthetic decision that match the rustic design, they are really, REALLY uncomfortable! We were fortunate enough to have chairs that had a cushion on them (which most of them didn't appear to have), but even with the cushions, sitting in those chairs for only a short time was uncomfortable. Gotta say we would have stayed a lot longer and ordered several more rounds of drinks, but our backs and butts just couldn't take another second on those hard metal chairs. Ultimately, I'd give this place 4, probably even 5 stars if new comfortable chairs were added. Hopefully management will take this suggestion into consideration in the future.

    Menu is a little odd because the name/decor/music gives BBQ place but there's also seafood on it…read more I'm not from CT so maybe that's a CT thing. Got the calamari as an app -- it was okay but a little rubbery. Pulled pork sandwich as the entree was disappointing. The meat had no sauce at all there was a little sauce on bun. I asked for an extra side of bbq sauce which was brought over no problem! The server was extremely attentive. I would not go back and wouldn't recommend it to anybody.

    I've been frequently talking online about hot dogs this year, and people kept bringing up…read moreBridgeport's Merritt Canteen and their "we don't give refunds for our spicy chili" hot dogs. Curiosity got the better of me and I finally visited, just for a chili cheese dog. They also have breakfast, burgers, wings, sandwiches and fried seafood etc. The first thing you should know is Merritt Canteen is one of the very few CT places to score a Guy Fieri Diners Drive Inns & Dives visit. That clearly means something. The atmosphere was clean and classic. Service was friendly and efficient. I believe MC uses Hummel Hot Dogs, which is a quality dog. It was well cooked. The bun was fresh. The presumably American Cheese slice was melted over the top of my chili cheese dog. This part was way above average. Which brings me to the chili sauce. I don't have the recipe for this sauce. So I'm giving you my impression and not stating facts. The sauce, tastes like a thick meat gravy, with a generous amount of hot pepper sauce such as Tabasco added. There wasn't really a noticeable meat component. Maybe that gets electrically blended into the sauce. I don't know, but I didn't get a classic ground beef vibe here. I understand some people love this sauce. I suspect those same people are big Tabasco fans and liberally add it to most of their meals. Me, I'm one and done with the chili sauce. I like nuanced spice. This was not that. I did finish the dog, but my resolve wavered. It's hard to discount the impact of the chili sauce in scoring this review because it was the dominant force of the chili dog. But the truth is, the dog, melted cheese, bun, service, and atmosphere were all good. So I'll score this a 3.5 and round up to 4 Stars.
