My family and I Came here some months ago in the Fall. The food was great! The drinks were tasty! Also was great for the kids. The only thing was trying to go back on a Sunday their time of opening was not what they have online. Says 12 they said they weren't opening till 1:45pm. read more

The food was well seasoned, hot, served timely, and well-portioned. My favorite was the chicken pineapple bowl with the juices inside of the pineapple. This kept it hot and added the perfect balance for dry rice. The veggies (cabbage slaw) are served cold. While I would rather have warm cooked cabbage, the veggies in the bowl made up for it. The Festival was nice, but I'll pass in the future. It was too thick for me and mildly sweet. I think that's the point. The empanadas were crispy and flavorful. I just thought the portion of meet inside was not sufficient. The beverages were excellent, as well as the service. Do a Yelp check in and receive a $5 coupon. Would I come again....YES! read more

I was going to a concert and wanted a non-chain for dinner, and Rum & Tequilla was right where I needed dinner to be. My friend who works in Bridgeport was able to join and we were able to get through our meal exactly on schedule to make it to the concert and have a nice view. So that's the good part. They were out of a few different things we tried to order, and ended up subbing my chicken with curry chicken. Not a traditional Jamaican flavor, but it worked out nicely in the end and was a generous amount of chicken paired with the rice and beans. We had bammy appetizer and that was forgettable - really not much flavor there, just dough. But I think it's authentic and just needed hot sauce - this is probably how they eat it in Jamaica! Don't change that. I will say that the prices were surprisingly high - wasn't expecting that in Bridgeport, but perhaps downtown is elevated. I know the owners have to pay the rent so I'll reserve judgment as best I can. My overall take: This place would be well served by the Kitchen Nightmares mantra: Less is more. (Not that this place is a nightmare.) But cut the menu in half, it roams too far in too many different directions. Focus on your Jamaican. Serve the foods that pop with your culture and instead of getting spread too thin and running out of ingredients, a simpler menu will let you have more and not run out. But I like this place. I want it to succeed. And if I had any question about 3 vs. 4 stars, that settles it. read more

I am so glad I got the chance to try this black-owned establishment in Downtown Bridgeport. There's not many places like this in the area that make upscale Caribbean cuisine, and R &T does it well! They also have a live DJ set up. Another bonus -- if you check in on Yelp you get $5 off your order! The staff here are extremely friendly! One of our servers even went above and beyond to offer me some non-alcoholic rosé which was pretty cool since I wasn't drinking. I really enjoyed my food here! Firstly the portions they give are massive. I had plenty of food to take home for the next day. The Rasta pasta was spot on, as well as the jerk chicken! The henny wings are also very tasty. R&T loses points for their covid safety protocols. The reason I'm being generous with the stars is because the customer service and food were both really exceptional. While dining, guests are able to see through the kitchen. I noticed one of the chefs who prepared food had his mask off the entire time, and was talking (which I presume over people's food). Almost a year into a pandemic, this is flat out unacceptable. It wasn't until we were getting ready to leave when I noticed he finally put a mask on. I hope that the management reads this and makes changes in enforcing safer protocols. read more

We decided to get a bite here while waiting to go to the second show at the nearby Stressfactory. I enjoyed the DJ, which was not so loud that you couldn't have a conversation with your consort. We both tried the Rasta Pasta, mine was meatless and my man's had chicken. Good but a bit sweet I thought. I liked the spice level though. We were able to finish our meal with time to spare. read more

My first experience here was absolutely amazing!!! The ambiance was lovely. Customer service was on point!! As I entered I was immediately greeted. My waiter/bartender (I sat at the bar) JC was so friendly and made delicious, tasty creative drinks that catered to my preferences. I met the owner Carla, absolutely BEAUTIFUL spirit!! Her vibe was so welcoming!! I am definitely going to be a regular patron even though I live in NYC.. LOL! THE FOOD???!!! OMG!!! that's all I can say. OMG!!!! I can't wait to return to try more stuff on the menu. I went on a Monday, they said it was Karaoke night but I couldn't stay. For one my phone was dying and secondly those drinks JC was making me... smh I needed to get out of there before the liquor bust up my head.. lol Like I said I can't wait to return. Keep up the good work Rum N Tequila. That chef is about to be my boyfriend.. LOL!!! read more

Good little spot in downtown. It was a hot day. We stopped here for some food and to wine down after an afternoon at the winery. I did get the shrimp tostones recommended by the waitress. Mouthwatering Def would recommend. I also tried the lemon pepper wings to go; I wasn't too impressed. Overall, good choice for us. read more

The food is good. Probably one of the best jerk chicken dishes I've ever had. I'm giving them 1 star because of their fraudulent 20% service charge. They don't have it on their website or menu and just try and sneak it in when the check arrives. That's dishonest. Picture this. Your food comes to $100. By the time you add a 20% service charge + 20% tip + 7.35% tax, you've just marked up my meal to 147.35%. Almost a 50% markup! Tell the customer in advance about the service charge or risk the waitstaff not receiving a tip. Not that our waiter was getting one anyway. Now the service. For a party of 6 we received one pitcher of water, 1 time. The waitress never came back to check on us during the meal. In fact, we looked over to the bar and there is our waitress sitting, eating, drinking and chatting with another waitress. Once we had finished eating, we had to get up and go over to another waitress near the kitchen to request a to go container and our check. Never saw our original waitress again smh! read more

What a find ! This was our 3rd stop - in the pouring rain - looking to pregame before a concert at the Total Mortgage Arena. After a couple drinks we sat down to an amazing dinner !! Kay was a sweetheart. The wings were really special, tacos were great but the showstopper was the a Chicken and Shrimp Pineapple Bowl. Soo Good. We're heading home on the ferry now- if it was open I'd have stopped for an order to go! This place want much to look at but it is a hidden gem. read more

i ordered the oxtail dinner & asked for extra portion meat. The charged me $43 and gave me an extra scoop of rice & beans on the side . I recieved less then a side order of rice . The pan was not even filled. Not to mention i asked for extra meat and got extra rice instead. The food is good but not accomadating. read more

In downtown Bridgeport on a Sunday afternoon, this is a find! I wandered in during the slow part of the day and was delighted with service, food, and drinks. Staff was incredibly nice. Their signature rum and tequila drink hit the spot. I ordered the jerk chicken pasta, which admittedly wasn't daring of me, but hey, I got it spicy. It was pleasantly spicy, solidly delicious, and a huge portion. This was exactly the experience I was up for at that moment. Prices are what I'd expect for bistro-type food. read more

My friends and I wanted to hangout on a Friday night. So I went on Yelp and started to search. I came across Rum & Tequilla and we all agreed to give it a try. Although, I never heard of this place before it was not a disappointment. I ordered the Jerk Pork with rice and peas, I also had a side of wings everything was great. the music was good and there was a nice vibe. Happy Hour deals are great and the margaritas hit the spot! Definitely will be going back. read more

Pretty good food here in general. Loved the tostones, tacos and the rice and beans, delish. A little disappointed with the lemon pepper wings too as another reviewer mentioned. I found them to be just blah. Empanadas and drinks were pretty good too. I would visit again and I would recommend to anyone in the area to check them out. read more

This place has grown to be one of my favorites! The food is delicious; I've tried their empanadas, chicken tostones, chicken tacos and Jerk chicken with rice. Every single one tasted GREAT! Their service is almost always top notch. I had one experience where one server couldn't be bothered with us. She only perked up when we added a man to our party. But honestly every other time has been great so that's why I rated 4. read more

I love good quality food. I recently have been eating a lot of oxtails from various restaurants including cooking at home. I had an opportunity to visit this restaurant and I am going to add in the response for both meals that were ordered. We ordered the red snapper fish and oxtails. The red snapper is not scene above but I asked the person eating it, what would you rate the quality of food and he gave me a one. Now back to the oxtails, when I opened the large tin pan and saw the rice immediately, coupled with the salad and sample size oxtails. Let me be very clear I had exactly 6 oxtails, if you include the tiny one. I took a picture of the bones too but I thought that might be too much for this review. I had to pour this on a plate because I could not believe that they gave you an entire pan full of rice that was more than enough to feed two or three people but yet only gave you five oxtails and a tiny one that the bone was bigger than the meat. Maybe they didn't realize you paid $18 for a pan of rice. I am terribly disappointed! Quality of taste: I was expecting it to be really good since year prices were so high and you were giving so little, normally it will be compensated by a great quality of taste. Well, that was not the case! It was edible but not very good. Maybe I should put it in the general category, it wasn't something that you couldn't eat, but it's not anything you will go back to eat again. In Covid times it's imperative that you greet people with mask on, I don't know if they forgot that we are in the middle of a pandemic or what. but I was expecting the greeters to have a mask. The restaurant looks nice. My friend said that the snapper, smelled very good, but it was extremely salty, too much seasoning salt. The size of the fish was not very big, Grill II quality of food was much better and much larger. It's entirely up to you to try out this restaurant but I don't believe I will be going back. I love to enjoy good quality food at whatever cost but I want it to be worth it. read more

I will start by saying I was introduce to the owner by my sister and friend. She was very sweet, however that place is a disaster!! Literally the WORST service I've ever had!!!! I get everyone is short staff, but this was beyond unacceptable!!! The waitress had a horrible attitude and she was very dismissive. Actually, their whole staff in general are RUDE... I've never been into a "restaurant" with so many rude and bitter females.... Why are you so angry??? Maybe customer service is not the field for you... The waitress from the beginning wasn't friendly, never gave us water and NEVER checked up on us. The food was beyond BASIC. Waited for 2 hours for "Rasta pasta" (beyond bland), empanadas (hardly no meat), and wings that we NEVER received!!! Not to mention we never received plates or utensils!!! My friend literally had to get up and get PAPER plates utensils! After waiting 2hrs for the food, now to wait for plates and forks?!!! I will never again come here or recommend anyone to come here!!!! I happened to be in the area and that's the ONLY reason I came! I've supported years ago when it was Tiagos, so we figured why not support our city. BIG MISTAKE!! Then to charge A service fee??? What service?!!! When we asked to speak to the owner we were told that apparently she had to run out to work because she was "on-call".... NEVER AGAIN!! read more

Amazing !!!!! The best in everything, their food/drinks so good The taste make you have it everyday, know I would be there everyday.

Okay so it's a Saturday afternoon late lunch early dinner... we have spent too much money on food. I cook, like down home good cooking, so when we go out to eat, my family knows food. Let me tell you, this spot is on point with the food, drinks and service! It was a pleasure to finally be able to enjoy a home cooked meal without having to cook or clean it! Thank you to the team here at Rum and Tequila Fusion. We will be back. Flavorful fall off the bone oxtails and pineapple chicken. YES! read more

This place was great! We had the Shrimp Tostones which were an amazing appetizer, the gravy was muah! We had the Rasta Pasta Combo which had Chicken and Shrimp. The sauce was good and had a kick. Last but not least the DRINKS! They were good and they were not skimpy on the liquor. They are sweet as well. Very good place. Whenever around the area I will absolutely eat here again. read more

The flavors were excellent. Waitstaff very attentive. Kitchen slow - almost an hour to prepare food.

Good ambiance however food was mediocre. Service was fine. Drinks were creative and strong.

Terrible service, my bf and I waited about 30 minutes for our drinks then about an hour for our appetizers. The restaurant has great potential but with horrible customer service, the good tasting food and decent drinks didn't even matter. Sad to say this was our first and last time here. We will not be returning. read more

My husband and I ate here early last night (~6 PM), and the Henny Wings and Rasta Pasta w/chicken were excellent! Great vibe, unpretentious, good location, unique menu items. We sat at a table where we could see the kitchen, and gave a thumbs up to the chef. When more customers shuffled in, the noise level naturally went up (it's a bar on one side, tables on the other), and the 2 waitresses had to do the work of 3. We didn't mind that the service was a little slow, bc we were treating ourselves to dinner out. Tips: get there early for dinner, and if you like the food, consider tipping not only your server, but the chef, too. read more
