Be sure to make reservation or come early as they get full fast. The staff are attentive and friendly. The spot is in the nice town of Oakville/Watertown.

I came back to this restaurant because the same seafood risotto I had previously was creamy and…read moreexcellent. This time, however, the dish was noticeably sour -- not tangy, but unpleasantly acidic to the point I couldn't finish it. A cream-based dish should not taste like this. Something was clearly off in the preparation. What was more disappointing was the response. The staff acknowledged the issue but only offered 50% off instead of remaking or removing the dish. When a customer cannot eat a dish due to a quality problem, I would expect it to be corrected, not partially charged. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I returned specifically for this dish based on a good prior experience, so this was very disappointing.

Place full of regulars--staff knew their names in fact. Word to the wise: dogs are huge! I probably shouldn't have ordered two, but I'm glad I did because they were so good. They come on toasted buns. There's a wall of specials or you can get a pretty straight up dog. We got the Portuguese special with mushrooms and onions, which was delicious! We take this route to visit family often, so we will definitely stop next time we are passing through.

It was good but I feel like the bacon doesn't go very well with the hot dog in general, next time I would choose a different option such as ground beef.

I prefer them over hoodoo browns and bears smokehouse any damn day of the week. I first discovered them through a food truck when my dad and I went to the new england brewery and tried their burgers! We've been eating there since. They have your typical barbecue cuisine but every once in awhile they have great specials! I go here every Sunday before I head to the roller rink. Service is friendly, Cozy vibes. It doesnt feel like you're in dumpy waterbury. It's hard to choose a favorite, and Ive yet to find something I didnt like! Their catering is also great. The brisket is tender and their turkey is amazing and I hate turkey! 4 stars however, because of the tall prices. The somewhat small portions do not justify it unless its catering. Because of the recent water main breaks, thomaston ave is closed so you would have to park at the plaza around the corner and then walk which can be bothersome. I hope that can be resolved soon. This place could be the beginning of what could bring waterbury back to the brass city it once was! Dont miss it!

The parking is a bit uncomfortable considering the fact that the restaurant is on the very corner of the plaza right where the cars from Dunkin come in and out but it's definitely manageable. The service was quick and you can see them make the food right in front of you which is definitely a plus in my eyes. The food itself was also pretty good I built my own burger and it was delicious. The fries were not my personal favorite but I did get regular fries with nothing on top so I'll be sure to try another fry option next time!

Service was below average. Either I messed up and ordered the wrong beer in the flight, or my server did.

Maybe the dinner items are more inticing but as far as atmosphere goes it was cozy and cute. The Mac and cheese was the best part, it even had some spice. It was Cavatappi pasta, four cheese blend, siracha, and toasted panko on it. Short rib tacos were also pretty good, had to take a little off of the cream and goat cheese to be able to taste the rest of it. I had high hopes for the steak bomb, but it had mushrooms which I had asked for none and then once waiting again for it to be made, it wasn't worth the hype and wait

Then came this past Thanksgiving weekend where it required traveling on I-84 from Cape Cod to get to Danbury and my mom, sister and I decided to try you out. Now, I am in the dog house because they want to know when the next time that we are going. I had the chicken club and it was absolutely delicious. A huge piece of chicken with plenty of flavor. My sister had the short rib sandwich and was raving about it once we continued our drive saying she was so glad she had it even though she had short ribs herself for dinner the previous night. I don't know if that's an indictment on her cooking or what, but she loved it. The star however was the cod dinner that mom had. It was one of the flakiest and freshest pieces of fish she had ever had. We got a very late start to our trip, so by the time 2:00 came on the Saturday afternoon came, we practically had the whole place to ourselves. The only gripe that we had ( not that we necessarily would have changed anything ) was that we noticed after we ordered that the table next to us got a specials menu and we didn't. It was nice and quiet as our waitress let us have a quiet late lunch and if we were ever in the area ever again, we would make a b-line back to the restaurant.

Pricing and overall inequitable food quality put their ceiling at 3 stars. I can't figure out if they always rush their onion rings or just buy crummy ones from their suppliers. I'll likely be back - especially/only with my kids. But for me and 2 teenage boys - the $70-ish dollars could be spent at other local places with better results.
