Over the weekend, my family and I had a feast at The Cue in Danbury!…read more This establishment is on the side of a busy road, so it might be tough to see at first. Luckily, there is plenty of space for parking. The restaurant has a good amount of outdoor and indoor seating. Its wood accented interior and warm lighting gives off a southern smokehouse feel, which is very on theme to the food they are serving. Ambiance rate: 8/10. They start off with unlimited corn bread which tasted okay, nothing super special. Rate: 5/10. My family and I ordered... 1. Crispy Pork Belly (from the pit) w/ a side of onion rings: This dish was delicious! The meat was nice and juicy, and the skin was super crispy! Rate: 9/10. - The onion rings were also very tasty and crispy! Rate: 9/10. One negative about this dish is it was a small portion of both meat and side for $23. 2. Table for 4: This consisted of an array of different meats from their pit, as well as 4 sides. As a whole, the portions were very generous, making it a very filling meal, and worth the cost. - Full Rack of Baby Back Ribs: This was flavorful however, the meat was very rubbery. It wasn't falling off the bone which was unfortunate. Rate: 6/10. - Brisket: This was my favorite meat! It was super tender and consisted of a good amount of fattiness! Rate: 10/10. - Dry Rubbed Chicken: This was average, tasted like your regular chicken. Rate: 5/10. - Smoked Sausage: This had a great smoky flavor to it making it very yummy! Rate: 8/10. - Pulled Pork: This was okay in terms of flavor and tenderness. Rate: 7/10. The 4 sides: 1. Truffle Mac n Cheese: This was good, except it lacked a truffle flavor which was disappointing. Rate: 6.5/10. 2. Mashed Potato-Brisket Gravy: This was average, nothing special: Rate: 5/10. 3. Baked Creamed Spinach: This was good, but it was more watery than I would've liked. Rate: 7/10. 4. Sweet Potato Fries: If you're a fan of sweet potato fries, these are right up your alley. Unfortunately, I can't give a fair rating since I don't like sweet potato fries. To add on, they give a variety of their different barbecue sauces which was amazing. My favorite was the Apricot Horseradish! The staff were very nice and helpful! Staff/service rate: 8/10. Overall, they hit the spot with some of their meats and sides, while others didn't. However, if you're in the area, it's worth trying their American barbecue!

Wow, it's getting really tough to stand by this place right now, and the scuttlebutt amongst the…read morelocals confirms I'm not alone in this opinion. It's getting more and more disappointing every time I go. One time recently, I ordered the Jesse Burger, which was a classic from the old menu. It had shrunken drastically in size. Okay, I can never finish a burger anyway, and I didn't finish this one either. But while Old Ancient Mariner's burgers weren't exactly the best around, this one was dry and just trying to look fancier, an absolute downgrade. But worst of all, the scallops were absolutely terrible, and for around $38 I believe. I was excited to try them, but they were undersized and chewy, and the cauliflower purée underneath was grainy and disgusting. It barely qualified as a side at that price point anyway. What is this new owner doing??? We're all whispering about it in Ridgefield and taking bets. I really hope he turns it around. Right now, I can't recommend it for anything but booze with townies, if they even keep going.

My husband got the Monster wrap, and we got the garlic mozzarella sticks as well. The serving size was more than you can eat in one meal, so we took leftovers home. The chicken breast that was battered was cooked to perfection. The mozz sticks were a nice garlic flavor that was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside . The chicken breast was flavorful and juicy and the establishment was cozy and homey. The leftovers were almost as good warmed up in my air fryer. Yum! The small water feature next to the deck actually had some fish in it. Nice food and place that will definitely be visited again.

When 'Tastes of Danbury' included Po-Yo, I wanted to try the Chicken and did just that. Had Chicken and Yuca fries and cheese fries. The Chicken, I believe, is marinated for a long time with the special Peruvian herbs and spices. (All Peruvian, not just here) That shows in the Chicken. I would call this flavor one of the best of this kind. Loved the chicken. Also, asked the nice lady what are the main take out orders for. It seems to be this chicken. My companions got the Ghost Chicken - which I heard was decent. The tacos looked real good. I loved the 5 different sauces that came with the table. Each one unique. They had beers on tap, which sealed the deal for me. Good place. Excellent staff, very friendly.

They had tables outside and in the shade - Ding Ding! This was also our first time at Po Yo. The staff was friendly from when I went inside to see if we could sit outside, our server, and the girl who brought our food out. Instead of bread or chips our meal started out with popcorn which was a nice change. My husband was not that hungry and ordered nachos, and I went with the cuban. Good thing I can eat because the nachos were HUGE. Layers of tortilla chips, shredded cheese, shredded rotisserie chicken, red onions, and black beans. On the side for toppings was cut up avocados, salsa, and sour cream. Besides the 1st layer it got cold sort of quick. We're not sure if the nachos finished before my sandwich or it was just the nature of the layers. My cuban was nicely toasted. The shredded chicken good. It had my fav the spicy mustard. I felt like there may have been mayo or another sauce that I could have done without. The shoe string french fries I chose as my side had just enough salt and were very good. Overall a good meal. Something different besides pizza and chinese food. Worth a try!

So I've actually debated whether or not to include this UberEats delivery review. The first time I…read moretried to go through with it, I just couldn't really figure out what to write. I only ordered it on UberEats this past Friday night, so it's not like I actually went there. However, the more I ate and thought about it, the more I realized something. This is the 4th year in 6 I've done a pre-birthday send-off UberEats order, and this is my 3rd year in a row doing so. In 2021, I had Edo on the last week before I turned 30. 2024, it was Boatyard at Smokey Joe's in Stamford, ordered on April 18. Last year, I did the Norwalk location of Elm Street Diner on April 24. If we want to take that into consideration, then that would be reason enough to sum my thoughts up together and get something down. So to send off age 34, say hello to Walrus Alley! If I'm being honest, I always wanted to have a barbecue right before my birthday of this year of all years. It only felt appropriate for 2026. Originally, I was going to have Wire Mill Saloon from Redding delivered using Yelp, but one of the items I'd ordered was out of stock, so that got canceled and I turned my sights here and ordered what I would have gotten from Redding. This was a half-rack of ribs, an order of Mac & Cheese, side of cornbread (this one came with coleslaw and pickles), and an a la mode chocolate bourbon pecan pie. The pecan pie was the only change since if I had gotten the Redding order, I would have had a key lime pie a la mode. I also put in some Alabama sauce because it does ribs a new flavor to play along with. I had everything over the next three days, hence why I am writing this review now. I will start by saying the ice cream did not make it without melting, but that's okay. I wasn't expecting it to since my driver did have to make a bunch of stops along the way, making my order take over an hour to deliver. No fault on the driver or restaurant there, and I ended up drinking the ice cream anyway, and it was still refreshing, so c'est la vie. The pecan pie it came with was actually really good. I found that it's better if you let that chill off a bit. Don't use plastic silverware for this one for the pie will break them, but delicious and sweet all the same. I'd love to have this in an in-person visit. In contrast, the cornbread should be warm when you eat that. It's buttered and soft, but it might be too dry if you try to eat it cold. The pickles are more of the spicy kind. I prefer sweet pickles, but I don't mind them being spicy either. The coleslaw I will say suffers the same fate that befell the one from Boatyard: it doesn't taste like true coleslaw. They should take a bit of inspiration from the Smokies (think Eastern Tennessee or Western NC) to learn how it should be done. It's lacking that mayonnaise component that truly makes it coleslaw. If they added that, then we might be talking! I decided to leave the ribs and Mac & cheese for last in the review because they do provide reheating instructions for those who order take-out such as myself. The Mac & cheese was actually eaten very late on the first night. The instructions given for Mac & cheese were spot-on, baking at 375 for 10 minutes before I dug in. It was some damn good Mac & cheese. Cheesy, love the breadcrumbs, and very satisfying overall. The ribs were the last to be finished. I will say I did also follow the instructions for the ribs as they were written; however, unlike the Mac & cheese, the ribs were still cold in the middle after 20 minutes in 375. You need the microwave to finish the job here. The ribs themselves were good. They weren't the best ribs I've ever eaten, but they were tender, the BBQ sauce was tasty, and the meat fell right off the bone. I will say that for this meal it needs a healthy amount of Alabama sauce all on it to really elevate it, but other than my experience reheating them this was my only criticism. Overall, a worthy BBQ meal. I'd still pick Hindsight BBQ over this if faced with deciding which CT BBQ to go with, but this will get the job done and then some if you need good BBQ. I'd love to come in-person one night and experience this place firsthand.
