A perfect end to an amazing meal! I can't say enough good things about this place! thank you! and I can't wait to come back for dinner!”

“Strange Brew Bar in Norfolk, Connecticut, is known for its laid-back atmosphere and a wide selection of beers, including Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR). PBR has a nostalgic appeal and is often favored for its affordability and classic American lager taste. If you're looking for a casual spot to enjoy a cold beer, Strange Brew Bar would be a great choice! It’s always a good idea to check their current offerings and any special events they might be hosting. Enjoy your visit!”

“Been here a few times now and have tried something different each time I have yet to be let down. Food is amazing, friendly staff and a great location to stop and grab a quick bite. Highly recommend this place definitely one of my favorites now.”

“Had the pleasure of stopping in here a couple different times the past few weeks ordering out. Each time have been lucky enough to see Jojo himself — very warm and welcoming. Food is really great and will be a new regular spot!”

“Delicious dinner tonight from the entrees to dessert! Service was wonderful. Definitely recommend!”

“I ordered Thai by Thai via Door Dash for the first time today. I got the Drunken Noodles. OMG they were wonderful. They got here hot and I'm in Groton. Lots of chicken and veggies and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely order from them again”

“We were in town in business and decided to give 36 Town Grill & Tap a try one night for dinner. We loved it so much that we went back again the very next night, and if we were staying in town longer I’m sure we’d be back several more times. The food was delicious, prices fair, and portions are generous. What made the whole experience even better was our AMAZING server, Leslie. Give this woman a raise! She’s a powerhouse! ❤️”

“Got an ultimate green smoothie. It was so good. Was not super sweet which I loved but if you like yours sweet make sure to add some sort of sweetener. The price was reasonable for the quality you get. Everyone was very nice as well. Definitely going back!”

“My favourite place to work from home, even for someone with newly developed social anxiety. Super chill, the employees are so kind, and the coffee tastes absolutely incredible.”

“Stopped by quick in the AM before taking my dog to the local dog park. I had such a great encounter with the counter lady (possibly sweet momma). She made me a delicious breakfast sandwich and even threw in a couple of pieces of bacon for my pup! I’ll be returning soon for more goodies and for pleasant conversation. If you want to support local business then this is a good choice!”

“friendly service. great food”

“I work at the Pomfret Baker’s Dozen, so I’ve had my fair share of coffee — but my visit to the Chaplin location absolutely blew me away! The coffee was perfect (hands down the best I’ve ever had), and the manager at the window made it with such care. Friendly service, smooth coffee, and the kind of attention to detail that makes you want to come back every day. Great job, Chaplin team! ☕👏”

“I cannot thank Anna enough for our cake! Our baby’s first cake, even! It was so sweet and so delicious! 10/10 would recommend!”

“Best grinders ever!”

“I just want to say it was the best sauce I’ve ever tasted and I was a restaurant owner and came from a family of restaurant owner of 50 years”

“Amazing food and terrific customer service ❤️”

“Got italian grinder and it was excellent. They don't make them like this down south or up north for that matter. Had to come back home to relive the good old days with a grinder from Vocaturas. Thanks for being around all these years.”

“Unbelievably fantastic beer and dining. They have the best grilled oysters in New England. Pair it up with Effed Up On Pilz and you will be in Heaven. They even have Effed Up On Pilz shirts that are a one of a kind. You have to check it out.”

“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo”

“🥰 I had the pleasure of tasting this wonderful food at a 'Haitian Dinner' this evening in support of the Crosby Fund's scholarship and literacy programs in Haiti. The dinner was catered by Mommy's Delicious Food, which is an understatement. Mommy's food is amazingly delicious!!! But don't just take my word for it. Try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed.😋”

“Very good philly. The bully is worth every penny.”

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.”

“Had my first Epicure beer at a local restaurant last night and was blown away. My son's are beer connoisseur's and have both heard great things. I can't wait to visit.”

“Tried Voc's for the first time tonight and it was great! Ordered a grilled chicken grinder and pepperoni pizza, both awesome. Quick time for pick up, friendly staff when I went in and delicious food. Be back soon! Thank you.”

Fried dumplings are so amazing and they also melt k your mouth !!! Beef and cheese rolls they’re amazing I g fast like a Philly cheese steak egg roll 10 outta 10 don’t miss out on this gem !!!!”

“I have been in the Norwich area for 6 years, but I had Mr. Pan's food for the first time today, after reading good reviews. They did not disappointed. Food was delicious and fresh. The person who took my order was very patience. Going back for sure.”

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers! Some restaurants you can tell just want to take your money and are annoyed at small request made by customers but Engine 6 is not like this you guys come through for me on more than one occasion and I’m forever grateful. Thank You for being amazing!!”

“Great environment… Recommend 1000%”

“Great menu I wanted to try everything but couldn't because I ordered a 40 once prime rib on a Monday which is unheard of. Most places only serve prime rib on Fridays or the weekends. Service was excellent.”

“Taco Tuesday is the deal of a lifetime! The brown sugar buffalo chicken tacos are the best!”

“WE LOVE THEIR PIZZA!!!! BEST SAUCE, BEST CRUST, BEST EVERYTHING!!!!! �”

“Thank you Lauren for the wonderful breakfast this morning! So glad I decided to finally stop in!!! The bagels were super fresh, chewy and tasty! The coffee made just as I like it HOT! The flavor was so good my partner was jealous I didn't get him a coffee lol. It was great chatting with you! I will definitely be back to try out more! 10/10 Recommend!”

“I think this establishment is essential to the community. I love that I can get great authentic Asian fare to make authentic Asian food for myself. They are very kind to me when I frequent their establishment. It is well stocked every time I go there. I can't wait until I try their Maryland ? whenever they are in. I'll be looking to purchase live Crabs or Shrimp. Thank you PANDA SUPER MARKET. Your new neighborhood shopper.”

“Extremely friendly bartenders and atmosphere was great... only suggestion would be to have a better selection of non-alcoholic choices... but definitely 5-star for silverstar”

“Thank you to Blazin BBQ for catering my party. The food was incredible. Pulled pork. Brisket. The wings were a favorite!! Mac and cheese and more. I have been recommending you ever since!”

“Had a big order or sundaes Selena made sure all my sundaes we're made perfectly even after I changed an order. The service alone makes this restaurant worth coming to”

“Good food at a good price.”

“I came in 7 minutes before they closed, told them I knew it was late and was fine if they just wanted to go home, as I could only imagine the frustration of someone last minute. They said it was okay and took my order, nothing big just two items and verified with them it was alright to be ordering extras like fries that late. Turns out they had two people call out and so it seemed to just be 3 of them holding down the fort. Anyways tipped them in cash and thanked them. As for the food?
Burger? BOMB.
Fries? BOMB.

Don’t come in late like I did though, they don’t deserve that, tip them they definitely deserve that.
Thanks again ya’ll.”

“The coffee is superb. The decaf ‘Big D’ is my favourite.
Any time friends from out of town/state come by I get them some to take home.
They’re an asset to our community and I highly recommend supporting this group of lovely people who make the coffee come to life.”

“Came in for 2 orders of crazy bread during lunch time. One employee was working very hard to help everyone, prepare orders and check them out. The location is very small as there were 4 customers in the store and it was a tight fit. However, the employee kept it moving and I didn’t wait longer than 5 minutes to receive my order and it was PERFECT! She was happy and knowledgeable and everything I could hope for in a visit! I will be returning to this location for more crazy bread! Keep up the good work! :)”

“their food is well seasoned and authentic Dominican cuisine.”

“Very beautiful hotel and nice workers they where very nice and helpful deff will come again 😊😉”

“Had my first Epicure beer at a local restaurant last night and was blown away. My son's are beer connoisseur's and have both heard great things. I can't wait to visit.”

“Sharon is awesome and keeps the place moving. This was the best part of our otherwise disappointing holiday inn stay. Food was delicious, fairly priced, and came quickly. Kids eat free with adult meal so that was excellent as well.”

“I was taking my client to a dr appointment and stopped for a coffee I was immediately focused to the fried chicken and Jojo’s !! I decided to just get a few 3 to be exact, to try them. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he rang up the wings 7.59 for 3 !! Dammit! I said are the potatoes included he said no but I really wanted those dam Jojo’s 10 dollars and 29 cents later I scurried out with my purchase!! I have to admit they were DELICIOUS ? I heartily recommend them”

“This is a street side shack, no ambiance but the food was delicious, fish, calamari, clam bites, shrimp, onion rings and fresh made delicious Cole slaw. Caitlin was super nice, made suggestions and we were delighted. Although I didn’t love the New England clam chowder or lobster bisque, my husband did!”

“Great food and service. Destiny was an awesome server.”

“amazing atmosphere with great pours.”

“Great food and they are very nice people and their food is authentic I know couseim Puerto Rican but I don't like all Puerto Rican food I'm a tough critic I also am a chef and know how Puerto Rican cuisine should taste like so If you are ever around try the potatoes balls with ground beef inside or a mofongo with pernil it's the best and filling”

“I like everything I have ever ordered from there except the pizza. it's dry, the toppings and cheese separate from the sauce so it's a congealed cheese hunk with dry toppings stuck in it. the crust is too brown and there's no flavor. just bland, tasteless, dry, awful pizza. I've had the taco pizza lol what a joke that was and steak with sausage, dry and a waste of my money. their onion rings are very good, they used to be more fried and less crumbly coating. generosity has dwindled, too. cheeseburger grinder w bacon is good but I don't appreciate the warm lettuce, they don't take modifications or whatever you call that on doordash site ordering occum pizza. owner boy is clueless. I'll still order from here. Moore pizza I just heard is on doordash now :D I order extra sauces because I know some stuff is going to be dry or flavorless but I DON'T GET THEM!! they put ketchup packets on top of the onion rings GROSS so they don't have to give those rings... they piss me off but I'll still order.”

“Lucky house is good. the people are friendly to me just moved here. I order sometimes. I sit down too. Good price.”

“Since moving to Norwich, I have had a terrible time finding a good Chinese take out spot. Today, for the first time at this spot, I ordered a boneless spare rib combo with egg roll. The boneless ribs were absolutely delicious, just wish there was more of them, the pork fried rice delicious, and probably one of the best egg rolls I've had! Highly recommended!”

“All I can say is Amazing food and amazing service!@”

“The hot and sour soup is the best I ever tasted. Mushrooms, chicken, tofu. Most other Chinese places use bare minimum ingredients. Priced very fairly. The curry chicken rolls are so fresh, I loved this quick and delicious food. Thank you king wah”
