    Thanksgiving Turkey Wrap
    Michelle S.

    If I was basing this review on the wait staff this would be a 5 star review. Rebecca was great! Extremely personable and attentive. I couldn't decide between a burger and the Thanksgiving wrap and the wrap was what was recommended. Unfortunately, the stuffing was not great and neither was the gravy. The sandwich did have fresh sliced turkey. I was given several options for a side and chose mashed potatoes. My husband's cheeseburger Mac & cheese was pretty good and we decided to splurge on a skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert. That was very good. We may or may not visit again, if back in the area.

    What a cute tavern looking restaurant! Service was so nice and I loved my salad with spiced salmon, ginger and wasabi dressings. Yum!

    Visited twice in one week while staying in the area. Food and ambience were great. Everything we ordered from the menu was delicious. They have a separate gluten-free menu. We enjoyed feeding the goats and chickens after our dinner. Looking forward to visiting the Branford location when it opens!

    Nice menu that has something for everyone. Not many places have moo shu tacos and falafel flatbread.

    Just genuine people with a great product and a customer centered approach. Great menu, good beers on tap, live music ad $1 oyster happy hour!

    Plenty of parking all around the restaurant. We made reservations to be safe on Easter Sunday but they weren't very busy when we came in at 12pm. Plenty of options for kids and adults. We had heard about the buck a shuck from a friend and saw the brunch options as well. The kid's menu is a bit pricier than most spots especially for a plain or simple lunch option. They have endless/bottomless mimosas and bloody mart options. We ordered 3 dozen oysters, mimosa, avocado toast, buttery noodles, NE Clam chowder and mother of dragons. We had Jocelyn as our waitress. She was super sweet and friendly. The mimosa was ok but the mother of dragons drink was delicious. It had spiced rum, dragonfruit, cranberry, orange juice and a spalsh of soda. The avocado toast breakfast was filling. It was a bit too much avocado on one piece of toast but was enough for 2 pieces. The homefries were well seasoned. I will definitely order them extra crispy next time. For the kids they have crayons, menu they can color and wikki stixs! Love what they had for the kids.

    Didn't think any of the food was particularly good. The burritos we tried didn't have much flavor and the rice in them was dry

    It's fine if you are hungry. The fireplace is nice. The food is pub food. Nothing special or note worthy.

    Amy and I went at the Blackbird Tarven. We ordered two burgers and fries. I had Buffalo blue burger…read morewith bacon, lettuce, Buffalo sauce, and cheese. Burger looks a good taste and fries too. The staff is really friendly, funny, and fun.

    Very unfortunate that I have to write this review because I was expecting something very different…read more This sadly has been my worst restaurant experience in years. We had tickets at eight for Haunting at the Ridge about three minutes away. After looking at the menu, we decided to come here for dinner. I was very excited because of all the great menu options. The service was terrible from the start all around. We arrived at 6:15. There was two people in front of us. The hostess acknowledged us, but never took our name. A few minutes later, other people started coming in and she started taking their names and asking them if they wanted to sit outside. She never gave us that option. One of the people came in and started to debate whether or not they wanted to wait 20 minutes. She told them "You can stay or go, it doesn't matter to me." I should have known right there to leave. We were seated at 6:30 which was not a bad wait. 6:45 our orders were taken. Our waitress did not come back to the table one time after bringing our drinks. Never checked on us, never let us know what was going on with the food. She came back at 7:28 with our appetizer. We asked her how long would it take for the rest of our food. She apologized and said it would be another 20 to 25 minutes. I didn't understand how burgers take over an hour to make. We canceled the rest of the order. I was excited about the hotdog. Another letdown. It was cold when I got it and the chili on top had no flavor. I'm not even sure if it was deep-fried. Definitely not worth the $14.50 price. I will say the fries were very good. They were the only bright spot of the night. They have a lot to offer, but I would never come back here due to my experience.

    As our first visit to Strange Brew Pub we came to see a Beastie Boys cover band. Having never seen…read morethis band, nor been to this location we were not sure what to expect. The hubby read some of the other Yelper's comments and knew to go upstairs, really glad others mentioned that! The space is just big enough that you don't feel like it's tiny but just small enough to feel like you're right in the action. The bar tenders were friendly, they had lots of beer selections (not all on tap, many canned options) and the band turned out to be absolutely fabulous! Following Strange Brew on Facebook is a great way to find out about all their different shows (bands, trivia, comedy, etc) and I don't know why we waited so long to get there! We'll definitely be back.

    May stop by again when it is warmer…read more Unfortunately, there is no sign on the door downstairs, at street level, to ask new patrons to go up the stairs, especially on a dark rainy night. A great thing is their response to Facebook requests for information. But, It was cold outside and when we came in, upstairs, it was cold inside too. So we decided to leave and find a place that was a bit warmer. Nite that there was plenty of seating and it looked like a nice venue. ***** Facebook response for parking. Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few options for parking including on street parking on both sides of the road. Our building is located on the right side of the road (Water Street is a one way road). There are also three parking garages across the street. Each are available for parking, two of them have signage that says otherwise but it does not apply to our business hours, 6pm till closed. There are a few other parking garages located in downtown within walking distance including Main Street parking garage. There is also parking available in the lot at the marina, about a two minute walk from us on the road running parallel with our road. Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding the venue &/or event(s). Thanks! For the entryway their response: Sorry for delay, On the right side of the building their is a staircase. Although we own the entire building, we are located on the second floor.

Our server came and took our drink orders and provided us with menus. We chose the pretzel sticks that come with beer cheese. Entrees were the chicken tenders with barbecue sauce and the heifer burger minus the jalapeños. Strawberry margaritas completed the order. The pretzel sticks are served piping hot, you can see the steam coming off them as you dip them in the great tasting cheese. The are soft any nicely salted, just the right amount of salt. The chicken tenders arrived covered in a great tasting barbecue sauce. Baby carrots, a side of extra barbecue sauce, and blue cheese completed the dish. There are plenty of tenders in the order, enough so that we took some home for another meal. The barbecue sauce was nice and tangy and complemented the tenders perfectly. The heifer burger was served on a nice soft bun alone with crispy bacon and gorgonzola cheese. Could have had more cheese for my taste but no complaints on what was done with it. The burger was cooked a perfect medium rare and it was well seasoned and very large. It came with a large portion of French fries and pickles on the side. The fries were very crispy and stayed hot throughout the meal. This was definitely a great meal. Service was very good as our server was very attentive and took good care of us. Been here before and we'll be going back. A great place with a large enough menu that everyone should find something they will like.
