    Southwest Salad with Shrimp
    Ben S.

    I think my wife probably would have rated her meal a 2 and me a 5 so I'm settling at a 4. She had the southwest salad with shrimp. The shrimp was not well seasoned or cooked and overall her salad was blah. I had the WB Queso burger which was awesome but I could have used more of the queso and more poblano flavor. Love that they have sidewinder fries. Rare and elite - I'd come back just for those.

    Great service! Good food! This is one of the best Happy Hours with food and beverages! From 2 to 6 pm Mon to Friday, you have some nice options. The wings are pretty good! The quesadillas are filling and taste great! Honestly, I have not tried the entrees yet . It's hard to get past these appetizers. I keep ordering these and getting full! It's open, looks like a hole in the walls, but looks great inside! Stop by and try them out!

    This is the breakfast quesadilla!

    Food was great! Came for Father's Day and had a great time with the family. I had to take some home that's how big my burger was. The fries was the hit! If you go try the brunch special chicken waffle

    Birthday cake martini - festive !

    A little bro-y. It definitely has part sports bar feel and part gastropub feel. We sat outside because it was pretty empty compared to inside. However, someone kept coming outside and smoking, and the smoke kept reaching us in the outside space. There are some interesting whisky flights, one of which we went for. There are also some cocktails, not only whisky based. The birthday martini was fun. Our waitress was a little distant, but that was ok. I think she was also working at the busy bar. We had to bring our check inside to pay.

    the food was so good and the servers are the sweetest! I love the entire restaurant and how quickly the food comes too! Appetizers and main dishes are always top tier! Would definitely come back!

    Ok so we returned to try more bourbon and this time get some food. Happy we did! Everyone enjoyed their meals. They put together a bourbon flight for us with bottles I picked out. They messed a couple things up but she corrected it. I wish I remember her name because she was so nice and accommodating with our requests!! Will be back if I'm in the area again for sure.

    Fried pickles (double order bc they are just that good )

It was my go to after…read morework, for casual dinners with friends, date nights, or even just grabbing something to go. The warm Brussels tower paired with a crispy risotto cake, sweet plumped dried cranberries, and the most incredible whipped parmesan dressing! Perfection! What made it even better was how affordable it was. It was one of those rare dishes that you could count on every single time. I have yet to find anything local that comes close, and I genuinely miss it. If anyone ever recreates something like this, I will be first in line.

My son always raved over their Mac N' cheese and this is where he wanted us to take him for his 22nd birthday, he wanted their Mac N' cheese, so both my son and my other son's girlfriend ordered the mac & cheese. They took about four bites and my son decided it's different. It's not like it used to be doesn't taste right. Nonetheless, he was disappointed on his birthday. Beside that, our food was good. But the first noticeable thing was our server a waitress, she was pretty rude even though we were very nice to her. After we'd gotten home my other son looked it up and seen a few reviews on the service of this very same waitress/server. We dined there on 05/06/26 . And got there about 8:30-9:00pm

Extremely festive with tasteful Christmas decorations. We decided to sit at the bar to get a better feel. Caley first welcomed us. Very professional and friendly. We ordered a drink and looked over the menu, which is limited, but she recommended the mac n cheese, so we tried it. It was a 4 out of 5. Very nice, creamy and good. We also had the privilege of meeting Brittany (one of owners) and Mike (bartender). All were very helpful In recommending other restaurants to try and just genuine conversation. The bar is decorated so well for Christmas, offers true darts, and table shuffle board. On our very first visit we were treated like long term regulars. Go with complete confidence. We will gladly be back.

The menu is on the smaller size, but has great offerings and is suitable for the space the building holds. Our order: -We took advantage of the half off wings special for Sundays. The wings were a good size and we enjoyed the blue cheese. -Brussel sprouts: piping hot! And a HUGE portion size. These are a saucier style (loved the maple flavor) as opposed to crispy. Definitely recommend. -Buffalo Cauliflower: Just the right amount of kick and perfectly roasted. We loved the ranch dipping sauce. Also definitely recommend. -We had to try the O.G. Chicken sandwich as it appears to be the menu staple. The edges could have used some more sauce, but the middle bites of the sandwich were juicy! Loved the pickles, bacon, ranch, and American cheese flavor combo. -Side of onion rings, was served with honey mustard. Not overly greasy, had great flavor. Service was great, we loved the music but wish we could have heard more commentating from the basketball games. We were frustrated at times with the use of their plastic utensils... we often were fighting with our veggies as they slid off of our forks, but understand how the plastic utensils aligns with their popular food truck. We left feeling VERY full and took some wings to go. There were quite a few parties for a Sunday night, and their take out business seemed steady. Liberty Rock Tavern appears to be a hidden gem of a sports bar in the Milford area. We definitely plan to go back!

    A Shore Thing: Diving into Delight at Lazy Lobster 6…read moreBroadway, Milford CT. Nestled along the shimmering shores of Walnut Beach in Milford, CT, the Lazy Lobster (now under new ownership) beckons with its inviting charm and coastal allure. Upon entering, you're immediately enveloped in a warm, nautical atmosphere adorned with marine-themed decor--think driftwood accents, maritime photographs, and vibrant hues reminiscent of the sea. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore creates a soothing soundtrack, while the salty sea breeze mingles with the aroma of fresh seafood, making every breath feel like a mini-vacation. The outdoor dining area, complete with charming tiki umbrellas, invites you to soak up the sun while enjoying your meal, offering a refreshing breeze from Long Island Sound. The restaurant features two bar options: the front bar, which overlooks the street and opens to the outside, allowing you to sip cocktails while enjoying the coastal vibe, and the back bar, a full-service bar that's cozy and enclosed within the restaurant, perfect for a more intimate setting. The menu reads like a treasure map for seafood lovers, boasting dishes as fresh as a sea breeze. The standout is the Lazy Lobster Roll, available in three sizes: the 4-ounce, the 6-ounce, and a generously portioned larger option. Each roll is piled high with succulent lobster and served on a buttery baguette (yes, you read that right--a baguette!). You can also opt for the hotdog bun version, inviting you to dive in with reckless abandon. Accompanying it are crispy fries and tangy coleslaw, creating a delightful contrast to the richness of the lobster. My companion tried the butter-poached lobster tacos, which come with tomato salsa, avocado, and lime-cilantro dressing, showcasing the ocean's bounty wrapped in corn shells--delicious, even if she prefers flour tortillas. To wash it all down, we sipped on cocktails: the Lucky One High Noon Lemonade and the house Margarita, each refreshing as a dip in cool ocean waves. As you savor your meal, tales of Milford's rich maritime history add intrigue to the experience. The area is known for Charles Island and Captain Kidd, with whispers of lost vessels and ghostly apparitions of sailors who never returned. This lore enhances the atmosphere, making each bite a connection to the sea's mysterious past. Quinn, our server, embodies the spirit of the restaurant--welcoming as the tides returning to shore. Her extensive knowledge of the menu is impressive, and her willingness to share stories about the Lazy Lobster's history makes the dining experience feel personal and engaging. Her attentiveness and friendly banter create a sense of community, reminding you that good food is best enjoyed with good company. The Lazy Lobster is more than just a restaurant; it's a "catch of the day" in every sense. With delectable dishes, a vibrant atmosphere, and service that feels like a warm embrace, this beachside gem promises a "whale of a time" that lingers long after the last bite. If you're seeking a taste of the coast with a sprinkle of local charm, this is the place to drop anchor.

    The Lazy Lobster was a favorite for years. I heard about…read morethe new owners, and the renovations & I was looking forward to trying it out this year. Visited on Sunday July 12th, 5:30 pm. Was able to get a same-day reservation on OpenTable, which in retrospect is probably a bad sign.. Arrived at 5:25, hostess (not super welcoming) sat us right away. And we sat. And sat. And sat some more.. Servers were passing by and no one acknowledged us at all except for the bus boy who gave us water when we first sat down. We were sitting outside on the patio on the side of the building; we were next to other tables that also have people sitting there. Bus boys and servers must've passed us 20 times and just ignored us. After 20 minutes! I was finally able to get the attention of a server and let her know that no one had even taken our drink order yet. She assured me that our server was coming. Another 10 minutes went by, the same server realize that we were STILL waiting, and seemingly went inside to tell our server to wait on us. She finally arrived (we had been waiting 35 to 40 minutes at this point), no apology. Ordered our beverages and also told her we are ready to order food. Ordered a shrimp cocktail, the cheese garlic bread, a ribby roll and hot buttered lobster roll. And then we waited. Lol Drinks and Shrimp cocktail came right away. Shrimp was fresh, cocktail sauce good. Garlic bread never arrived. Entrees took a long time. We heard another server telling the table behind us that the kitchen was out of french fries. They never told us that but when the ribby & lobster rolls arrived, there was just a very small amount of fries on the plates. The lobster roll comes in three sizes now all varying degrees of expensive.. They do still have the same fresh baked rolls which is really what makes this lobster roll so good. The lobster was fresh, Unfortunately, I did not see any tail meat at all. It was all claw meat. I did look inside at the renovation, it's very nice, looks a little bit fancy for this type of beachside establishment. I mean, it looks great, but it was fine the way it was. Now it feels like they had to raise prices on the food to help pay for the remodel. The food that I had was still really good. I still do love their lobster rolls - those rolls really makes it for me. However they need to make sure every roll has tail meat too. The service is the real issue here. The hostess and servers and bus boys all look to be pretty young. They were pleasant enough, but seem to have no direction or motivation. I think with the right person managing them they'd be fine, but apparently they do not have a competent person in charge of these servers. There is absolutely no excuse for Customer sitting there for 25 minutes before they're even acknowledged. No apology, didn't get everything we ordered, yeah, just not a good experience.. with this type of service, they are not gonna stay in business long. At this point, I think they had been open about a month? Maybe they still need time to fully drain staff and get it together? I really hope so. It wasn't even super busy. I am willing to pay more for good food and service. But this was really pretty unacceptable .

Birthday…read moreparty, bridal/baby shower, or any event that you attend or have at RVB is going to be great. For events, the food is better than you would expect. But as an indoor sit down restaurant, I wanted a little more from the food not just event/catered foods served individually... Overall the food was good/okay. Other than the eggplant fries, nothing screamed come back for more. Service was okay. She definitely wasn't knowledgeable about the drinks and she couldn't bother to ask the bartender (I didn't realize there was a whole bar/ bar section until walking out) I asked if one of their drinks had a specific ingredient and the response was I don't know. And my aunt wanted a mocktail ( non-alcoholic cocktail) for her bday since she doesnt drink and the server said they didn't offer any. Any bartender knows at least 1 mocktail recipe, but like I said she couldn't bother to ask and I didn't realize there was a bar on the other side or I would have just went over and asked myself... If someone had an event here I'd be happy to go, but as a non-event diner I'm not in a rush to go back...
