Outpost Pizza - Stamford

Finally made it to Cwispy Chkn, after a mix up with the hours (they're closed for an hour mid day)…read more Unfortunately, it was not worth the wait. While the chicken was seasoned well, it was unimpressive. Not exceptionally crispy and I wasn't impressed with the portion size either. The variety of sauces also fall short of anything amazing, and don't do anything to try and save the chicken. The Mac n cheese was a miso Mac n cheese. Why? I do not know but what I do know is i'd never have it again. Miso-disappointed Very bland and I think the miso gave it a strange aftertaste. Also, there were no waffles! I was looking forward to chicken and waffles and apparently waffles were no longer on the menu and they "didn't know when they were coming back". Lastly, even our lemonades were terrible. They came out of the fountain warm, and the ice it came with did nothing to help. There were a few stools, but besides that there was no where to sit with our three year old, so we had to go back to our car to eat. Unfortunately I think this will be our first and last time at Cwispy Chkn.

It's a takeout/pickup restaurant, walk-in with tasteful, reclaimed wood walls, very clean. Serving chicken, delicious chicken, fried-delicious-chicken. It's not an overly extensive menus so your choices are made simple, they do what they do and they do it well! Super friendly staff, very kind, even met the owner who gave us free chicken sliders which were delicious. Support your local business and give them a shot, totally worth it.

You have to get it at the food truck and eat it right away since the bread will get soft. The bread is toasted perfectly when you get it at the food truck and the meat combination (brisket, steak, and chorizo) is delicious. Besides the torta charra, I usually get the lengua and chorizo taco. They are also amazing!

I should have checked if the guy laying on the bare grass with EKG stickers all over his chest was ok, but I was too hungry. This spot had a large selection of tacos; I chose to try their chicken and their birria tacos. The consomé wasn't traditional, I'm used to it being less watery and more saucy like. The hot sauces were also non traditional from my experience. I feel like they mixed it with mayo. Something about the taco texture made me feel like I was chewing wet paper. I wouldn't say this is the best taco spot, but I wouldn't say it was the worst. I wouldn't walk here again.

I decided to give Shake Shack a try during my lunch break today. I haven't eaten from one of their…read morespots in over a decade, and I don't think I've ever actually tried their burgers. I usually go for chicken sandwiches at places like this, and I'm not even much of a fast food person at all, so I'm not sure what made me give this place a try. I ordered two single burgers and specifically mentioned that I didn't want them well done, but one of them came out well done anyway. I also think I forgot to ask them to hold the mayo, which didn't help because mayo tends to make me nauseous. The cheese tasted low quality to me, and overall I felt uneasy trying to eat the burger. It actually made me nauseous. The breaded chicken lettuce wrap was just okay. The lettuce was soggy, and the outer center of the chicken was soggy as well, which took away from the texture. The mac and cheese wasn't great. The breadcrumbs tasted like they had fallen off one of their chicken cutlets, and the whole thing just didn't work for me. I was going to order the spicy fries, but they come with ranch and mayo, and since mayo makes me nauseous, I wish they offered an alternative spice or sauce option. I should've just gotten a milkshake. Smh It sucks spending about $30 just to toss it, but I think this was a good reminder that fast food and I just don't mesh well...

I know it's technically fast food, but it definitely feels a tier above the usual spots, especially since they offer healthier options like grilled chicken instead of just fried food. The entire experience was incredibly smooth. I ordered and paid ahead of time using their mobile app. As soon as I pulled up, the app had me confirm I was on-site, immediately gave me an accurate ETA, and clearly directed me on where to go pick up my meal. The food itself was fantastic. I got the grilled chicken club sandwich, a side of fries, and their hibiscus lemonade--everything was fresh and delicious. What really blew me away, though, was the actual restaurant environment. The dining area is spacious, impeccably clean, and flooded with tons of great natural light. They even have fresh flowers on every single table, which is such a nice, unexpected touch for a quick-service spot. Service here is top-notch. The staff is consistently friendly, but there's one elderly woman working the floor who really stood out. On two separate occasions now, she's come over and kindly offered to clear my table for me. I love that this location employs seniors, and she honestly looked genuinely happy to be there. It really says a lot about the positive culture management has built. Quick Tip if you're driving: There is plenty of parking, but try to avoid the spaces right up front. A lot of the third-party food delivery drivers tend to just dump their cars along the curb instead of pulling into an actual spot, which can easily block you in while they wait for their orders. It's pretty frustrating, especially if you're on a tight schedule trying to get back to the office!

We asked the restaurant staff for help. They did nothing. They didn't ask the men to leave. They didn't speak to them. They didn't even acknowledge that something was happening. Eventually, the men left the restaurant, but only to stand across the street, waiting for us to come out so they likely could continue threatening us, or worse. We called the police because we genuinely feared for our safety and needed help getting home safely. Let me be clear - a pizza place is not responsible for everything its customers do. But it is responsible for maintaining a safe environment inside its own store, and when something dangerous happens, to respond with care and urgency. This restaurant failed completely. When we spoke to the manager on the phone, his response was shocking. He was cold, dismissive, and repeatedly asked, "What am I supposed to do about it?" as if it wasn't his problem. He even referred to the incident as "an inconvenience." My pizza being cold is an inconvenience. Being harassed, threatened, and fearing for our safety because of who we are is not. It's a hate crime. And they stood by and watched it happen. This experience was traumatizing and dehumanizing. The total lack of responsibility from the staff and management only added to the harm. We're sharing this so others know what happened here, and so this restaurant understands that their inaction made them complicit.
