Although chilly in here, we had a nice time. My parents loved the food too which was great. Tonight I got the Arepa which apparently, I won't get again because it's the second time I've had it (not here the first time) and didn't care for it. The pulled pork on top was good though I just don't care for the dish itself. A bit bland. My picture unfortunately didn't come out good for that dish. My dad got the Panko Crusted Fish Sandwich and my mom got the nachos. They loved what they got. I've been in the past and had the pizza, the poutine, pork belly sandwich, etc. I'd love to try the crab dip and whipped ricotta someday. Fun spot.

Between Frank Pepe's and BAR, my friend, a Yale student, prefers the latter, and as a mere tourist,…read moreI deferred the decision to her. Man, so glad I did. We arrived on a Monday around peak dinner time, but there was essentially no wait (apparently uncommon according to my friend -- just a delightful consequence of dining at a college town during the summer). We split a medium pizza (1/2 elote mexican street corn and 1/2 bbq brisket), proving to be more than enough for two plus a more than ample amount of leftovers. Recently, I've gravitated toward thinner pizzas, a far cry from the typical Detroit (foccacia-esque) style pizzas I used to prefer, and BAR's pizza is akin to a flatbread yet very thin, another fallen angel to the GLP's. The undercarriage boasts a brilliant crust, almost cracker-like. However, it should be noted that the pizza is indulgent all the same. The elote pizza is quite possibly the most memorable, unique pizza I've ever had; it arrives almost crimson-red with a generous layer of corn and takis atop. It's still incredibly well balanced despite the hodgepodge of varied toppings. It's hard to pick a favorite between this and the bbq brisket though; while one is incredibly unique the other is simply sumptuous, nothing pedestrian about either of the two. The service is also impeccable, almost rivaling that of southern hospitality. I always thought Californians were friendly but something is in the air every time I visit New Haven. Incredible!

Hot-crispy fries and chips seasoned perfectly. Chicken sando on a great focaccia was a banger. Beverage was a Fuzzy baby duck IPA. Quirky and I couldn't pass it up. Highly recommend!!!

The tortilla chips that came with it were definite fresh and up to the job for this dip. For mains I had the ribs and these were really good. Fall off the bone good. We also had fish and chips and burgers and absolutely no complaints. Burgers were cooked as ordered. The fish and the sweet potato fried and regular fries were al very good. Nothing was greasy at all. The coleslaw was mid. But honestly that's ok. It was definitely fresh like everything else. Our server was exceptionally nice and attentive. She really wanted to make sure we had a positive experience. My son summed it up best. This is a solid place and if we're in the area we'd definitely go back. If they opened one up on Long Island close by we would be regulars.

Odie's Place is a neighborhood bar & grill that opened in Hamden, Connecticut in 2013. It was…read morefounded by business partners Elias Defaranos and Dan Carr. Occupying a space that had previously been home to the old Whitney Bar & Grille for a number of years, Odie's Place is a popular watering hall for Hamden residents as well as college students from nearby Quinnipiac University. Many have called it "Hamden's Hideaway". A popular menu item is their unique spin on New Haven-style pizza, with specialty options such as "Macaroni & Cheese" or "Reuben Pizza". Aside from the pizza, the menu also consists of calzones, stuffed breads, burgers, hot dogs, wraps, subs, soups, salads, various bar bites, and desserts. My family and I recently ordered take-out from Odie's Place. A co-worker of mine knows that I'm a pizza connoisseur and recommend that I give Odie's a try. I've driven and cycled by Odie's for years and never really noticed that it was there. It truly is a hidden gem. We decided to order five small pizzas so we could sample a nice variety. I picked them up in person and noticed that the bar had a steady crowd of regulars coming in for pizza and drinks. The bar is equipped with pool tables, a couple of arcade cabinets, shuffleboard, and giant flat screen TVs. The different pizzas that we tried out included "Pepperoni", "Margherita" (white with tomato, basil, garlic), "Mashed Potato with Bacon", "Macaroni & Cheese", and "Clam Casino" (white with bacon, garlic, roasted peppers). Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the pizzas. Crispy crust with a good amount of char, super thin, good sauce & cheese combo, and great toppings! My personal favorite was the "Clam Casino". I think that Odie's Place is one of the best kept secrets in Hamden and I would love to eat their pizza again in the future!

J. Roo's Restaurant is a restaurant and bar that opened in North Haven, Connecticut in 2002. It was…read morefounded by husband and wife Sal and Virginia "Ginny" Mazzaro. For close to 25 years, the Mazzaro family operated Vic's Pizza on Quinnipiac Avenue. Eventually, they had an idea to open something bigger and better with a more extensive menu. The restaurant was named for their son Jason, who goes by the nickname "J. Roo". Originally, the restaurant was billed as "J. Roo's, home of Vic's Pizza". The extensive menu consists of Italian specialties, seafood dishes, steakhouse entrees, New Haven-style pizza, burgers & hotdogs, sandwiches & wraps, salads, soups, wings, various bar bites, craft beer, wine, and specialty cocktails. In 2015, J. Roo's temporarily closed for a major renovation. The current, larger restaurant space opened the following year. My family and I recently had dinner at J. Roo's. My wife and I have enjoyed their food a few times in the past, but this was the first visit for our two sons. We were all seated at a booth in the main dining area. J. Roo's makes great wings and other various types of bar appetizers, but we were all in the mood for some New Haven-style pizza. We decided to order two medium pizzas: the "Pesto" (white pie, fresh mozz, grilled chicken & garlic pesto sauce) and the "Meatball Ala Vodka" (vodka sauce, meatballs, fresh mozz); the latter was a special. These pies were EXCELLENT! Really crispy crust, great sauces and really good toppings! Although the meatball pie was a special, J. Roo's should really consider making it a permanent addition to the menu. My wife and I washed our pizzas down with some delicious Foxon Park Birch Beer. Overall, we had a great visit at J. Roo's and look forward to returning!
