    the menu of the restaurant
    Kevin B.

    Always a great time coming to Bar140, it's a neighborhood bar located in downtown Shelton with cozy vibes and great food and drink. Bar 140 is known for their French fries and dipping sauce, perfect to paid with a drink or two. They have a small and a large size, the small is great for 2, order the large if you have 3 or more, it's is quite big. I love their sauces specifically the peppercorn and cajun, perfect pair. They always have a solid list of draft beer, good varieties. Also, they have a nice cocktail menu, my wife got a cocktail with taro tea in it, she loved it especially since it was different. The bartender was very friendly quick, she was on the money bringing out food in a timely manner. This place always has nice decor inside the bar for whichever themed holiday is occurring, great place.

    Had a rare kid free evening and was excited to check this place out. It's small enough to feel like an intimate space but large enough that you can have a conversation with your group and not feel like you have to speak over the parties around you. Great cocktail menu and a good variety of beers on tap. Well curated selection of tequilas and bourbon too! I ordered the small frites and veggie burger and you can tell everything is made fresh to order. They have a good variety of things on their menu so everyone in your group is sure to find something.

    Hot box - apple cider and whiskey!

    Updated review: welp it took 2 years but they are finally open for lunch on weekends so I went today and again the food was phenomenal!! This place is foodie heaven. The drinks are good too. Now that they are open for lunch I will be a frequent flyer on weekends. Great service, great drinks and awesome food. You won't believe you are eating in the valley!!! Go here now!! Thank me later!! I've been wanting to try this place for awhile now but was always skeptical because it's more bar than restaurant and really how good is bar food?! Well OMG this place has delicious food! It is not even close to your typical bar food,this place has fresh homemade food, nothing prepackaged and frozen. It's the next morning and I can't stop thinking about how good this place is. Not only do I give it 5 stars I have to say this may be the best food I have ever had in Shelton! They should forget the bar and turn this place into a full restaurant? The bartender was our waitress and even with a full bar crowd she was attentive and wonderful. Couldn't ask for better service! Now the menu is small and a bit limited but remember this is more a bar than restaurant. Here's what we had French Fries with different dipping sauces- best damn FF I ever ate in my life! Tacos,black bean,beef and a veggie- authentic like the ones at food trucks on long wharf Sliders- freshest tasting beef ever- yes better than Plan B and the other big one Hot box- whiskey with warm apple cider from local cider mill! Really if you are a foodie and you've never tried this place you must go here and try it! To the owner if you ever read this. My biggest complaint about living in Shelton is it's hard to find good food! You have the best food I've ever eaten in this town. I see you do an awesome bar business but wish you would turn place into full restaurant expand your menu and open for lunch. I promise I would come every day!

    On special the night we went were these ahi tuna tacos. Soo delicious and full of flavor and a wonderful compliment to an icy cold ipa.

    Love coming here for happy hour. Great beer on tap and they make a killer cosmopolitan! A quaint hometown place. Delicious dipping sauces for the Fritas! Update: We come here alot and I have never had a bad meal. Their menu is small but very high in quality. If you are craving a burger, fritas, a massive salad topped with chicken, or an authentic mexican chicken soft taco ($3 each -cheap!), you will find it here and walk out extremely happy and satisfied. Fantastic selection of beer on tap that are cold and fresh. Love the tulip glasses.

    The service and food here was very good I would definitely recommend stopping in for a burger the burger was excellent very reasonable price the only thing bad is parking

    Bad Sons Double Doobious DIPA and blackened tuns tacos

    My first time here I will definitely be back! Great beer selection, eclectic menu options, fun atmosphere. This is a great neighborhood bar kind of place...ya know where everybody knows your name!

    Some of the best moules-frites I've ever had! I wish these were always on the menu. Be sure to order them when you can!

    This is arguably the best food I've had in Connecticut. Their frites put Rudy's in New Haven to shame. Their soups are PHENOMENAL (I've had the tomato bisque with lump crab meat, and the baked potato chowder). The tacos are solid (I'm partial to the chicken), and their thanksgiving turkey burger special with cranberry mayo was also very good. The portions are generous, and the prices are modest (and they include tax). I wish I was in this area more often. I would eat here once a week. I almost forgot, the beer selection (while not extremely expansive) has very good quality!

    This was my second time coming to Chaplin. First time was with a girlfriend in a couple of months…read moreago and I just had to bring my family from New York. We were helping my sister move all day so we came with a huge appetite. While we didn't have reservations, We were warmly welcomed, and given the weather the host was super kind and allowed us to wait inside and even grab some drinks while we waited. We had a couple of different drinks. My personal favorite is the ginger and pearl and the drink with the egg whites. I honestly forgot the name, but it is so good. While not pictured we did get a whole bunch of different appetizers. The brussels sprouts, the muscles, the sourdough bread were also delicious. For main course, we got the tomahawk steak with mashed potatoes and mushrooms, the burger, the steak frites , and the mac & cheese, which is actually on the appetizer menu. Everything was so good. We literally demolished everything that was on the table. All staff members are incredibly kind and the vibes were great We will 100% be returning.

    We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and had great service. It wasn't too busy so we were waited…read moreon quick and efficiently. I enjoyed the sourdough bread and the vegetables. The steaks were finished and the drinks were delicious. They had one vegan risotto option and I tried to finish most of it. Decor and ambiance of the place reminded me of a modern exotic jungle. They had nice open window view of the street and parking lot. Try it out with your fancy friends.

I order dinner and they were out of the hanger steak. My boyfriend ordered and they were out of the paella. I ended up getting the chicken cutlet board. The chicken was very dry, it was like a fish fry batter, not what I think of when I hear "cutlet". Over cooked, salty. My boyfriend got the salmon. I tasted it at the end of the meal, I couldn't even believe he tried to eat it. It was very overcooked and so fishy. Also it said that his potatoes were Lyonnaise potatoes, Definitely not, they were thickly sliced, lacked seasoning, just a miss. Drink service was very slow, forgot a drink too. The waiter mentioned they're in between menus; i'm hoping my feedback can be helpful to the restaurant. Also it is my pet peeve when servers don't tell you upon seating you that they are out of an item. Being they were out of both of the entrées we wanted we may have chose to leave and come back another day and possibly have a more positive experience.

We wanted to have…read morea celebration dinner, but didn't want to go far, so we decided on Uptown since it is close to our house. We entered the establishment and we were seated right away. My daughter and I ordered the Hot Honey Wings for an appetizer, and my daughter had a Cheeseburger with French Fries, and I ordered the Meat Lovers Paella. I ordered the paella because I have always wanted to try it, but I don't eat seafood, so I'm glad they had a meat paella. If you're ordering the Pallea, it will take about thirty to thirty minutes, so I would order an appetizer. The wings came out, and they were good, and the sauce was good. My only problem is that many restaurants that make wings seem to miss the seasoning, and the wings were missing flavor. It was fried well, but it was missing flavor. I loved the Meat Lovers Paella, which was packed with flavor. The paella came out in a cast-iron pan, and the meats were cooked well. The steak was moist, full of flavor, and cooked well. The rice was full of flavor and delicious. The Paella had a rich flavor profile, with the prominent tastes of saffron and smoky paprika coming together to create a satisfying and aromatic experience. I would definitely be back for the Paella because the presentation was on point. The customer service was great as the waiter was friendly, outgoing, and very knowledgeable about the menu.
