My 15 year old & I stopped for lunch around 2:30 on a Sunday. There was a good amount of people but not packed. My son ordered the cheddar, fried onion burger. Its came with cheddar fried onions and a pile of mushrooms. Kind of strange because theres no word of mushrooms on the menu. The fried onions were terrible they were put into the fryer while the oil was cold and they came out pale white and soaked it oil. He liked the mushrooms eventhough he didn't order them. It also to 5 mins to find someone to bring ketchup to the table. Fries were nothing special. For $16 you need to hit a burger out of the park. Not so here. I ordered the chicken caeser salad with homemade croutons. It can on a rectangular plate 5" wide and probably 10" long. The salad took up half the plate with 2 croutons. The chicken was half of a chicken breast cut in half. Hardly a $5 add on for a 1/4 of a chicken breast. The salad was soaked in dressing. The dressing wasn't bad but it wasn't Caesar it was a creamy lemon dressing. The croutons were terrible. You'd think they'd be crunchy but they were just stale old bread. Terrible! So a $15 salad and a $16 burger were both very underwhelming. We saw the waitress 3 times. Order , water, bill. They will not be seeing me again and I live close. Way over priced for what their serving.

A small family run 100 year old Tavern with a big heart! We are located adjacent to the Ivoryton Playhouse which makes for a great "date night"! Enjoy a great dinner at the Tavern, then walk a few steps to enjoy one the the Playhouse's professional shows.

The crab dip is amazing. Itâs enough for 10 people. We were only four. The burgers were amazing. Cooked to order, rare was rare, medium was medium. I canât give bigger praise just for that. Every single one of us was happy with our meal. It was a bit copious, but, the leftovers were welcome the next day. The ambience was lively and the service was wonderful. Just for that we would go back again. A lovely local pub, good food, nice company. Everything that you would want in a local joint. This might just become one of our weekly hangouts!Thank you for your review. We are especially glad to hear that you felt at home in a friendly cordial environment. Looking forward to serving you again.

The Rustic originally opened as a large restaurant, bar and dance hall. It was known to have the likes of Frank Sinatra stop by for an evening out. After a devastating fire, it was rebuilt in 1969 to its present, cozy size. Eccentric locals and summer tou

This is a small and quaint joint, where I went today with my wife, parents and sister.The place is very welcoming, and offers good value for your buck. A selection of CT beers, nice to try what is produced nearby. Good food, especially the apple pie desert :)Not far from I-95, I will come back.

Had the cilantro chicken salad which had zero cilantro. Also kale salad with grilled chicken.... definitely needed something else as it tasted blank. Calamari app was ok but could have been cooked more. Overall was a nice lunch but nothing to be excited about.

5. Comfort Cafe
Reviewed By BusterBusBus
This place is a great place for drinks. The bartender/owner Ming is wonderful. She really knows how to pour a cocktail. I have only had a burger and it was okay. A great place to go drinking and the karaoke was so much fun. They have a pool table, dart boards and an outside place to sit and have smoke. Sometimes the popcorn machine is turned on and you get a free snack.

Don't know why we we've made four visits to this place over the past 10 years, only to be disappointed each time. Perhaps it's because the location would be ideal, and it seems like a local hangout ought to be able to serve standard comfort food with some reliability. But, the service is only tolerable (with repeated comments by the "waiter" that he "doesn't usually work here"); the menu sounds attractive, but the food is served with a very ordinary presentation and with marginally acceptable flavors.

Iâve been a couple of times and sit at the bar for lunch or dinner. Always enjoyed the food. Any variety of the tacos are delicious and the basket of fries is the best! Nice atmosphere, happy hour crowd at the bar is interesting...all ages, some nice couples and of course the ubiquitous loud mouthed old guy. Always fun, consistently good food. Iâll be back!

We had never stopped here before - not pleased. The place is mainly for drinkers packed around a noisy bar. Food is ordinary, service is slow. Many other better choices in the area. Cannot recommend.

Had lunch here today, sat outside, other people had their dogs sitting or lying with them. I had the shrimp salad and my husband had the plant based burger. My salad had s nice mix of flavors and his did taste like a burger. We each had the dressing on the side and only used 1/2 of it.
