“Despite being a quintessential dive bar with its dark interior ensconsing four booths, four tables, and the ubiquitous twenty foot bar, there is a quirky charm to this place. There are four modern televisions, an atm, a jukebox, popcorn machine, and the place is well kept. Food prices are reasonable if not cheap (1/2 lb burger $10, 10 buffalo wings $10). The stuffed clams are superb. Kelly and Vinny (in photo) were very helpful and friendly.“
“I never heared about this restaurant. We didn’t have a reservation. In my opinion this restaurant is amazing , food is great , service good , drinks good. We had Passion fruit caphirina , shrimp ceviche , angus burguer , chicken and cheese empanada. Delicious. I love the decor and atmosphere , live music , and the bar looks pretty nice. I think was a little be busy at that time but not bad at all , was Thursday I was surprise. maybe I didn’t like where we were sit or how they set the tables but was not bad at all. Yes I recommend. I had a good time there.“
“Through he grapevine I heard Dew Drop Inn had the BEST wings in Connecticut, so I made my way here to try them out myself!Atmosphere/Appearance: Let me tell you. It's a windy road to get here. Lol. But set right at a very non-traditional intersection of North Avenue & Roosevelt Drive is this gem. The outside doesn't look like much at all and there's maybe 6 parking spots to the left of the restaurant then there's another business across the street that MAY allow you to park there. At your own risk of course. Once on the inside the spot looks super modern and energetic. The back wall is all brick, the walls are painted with solid colors and there's a lil' easter egg to the right of the front entrance of The Incredible Hulk busting through the wall holding a plate of wings. Lol.Service: We sat right at the bar and the owner Jason was there so he was serving us directly. He was funny, accommodating and just was a genuine good time. Hiba, Meghan and Rachel were also very accommodating.Food: So while here I tried 7 different flavors of the 126 that are offered. I'll break them down one by one...Pink Peppercorn Lemon Thyme: They came out of the kitchen SO HOT. Lol, so be careful not to burn your mouth. They were AMAZING. Deliciously salty from the Himalayan sea salt, lemony and rounded out with some good Earthy flavors.Pink Peppercorn Lemon Curd: This is basically everything I described above, but with a delicious sauce on top. The sauce was a little honey-strawberry-lemon sweetness that complemented the wing excellently.Cilantro Lime Tahini: The cilantro flavor was an excellent base, but this may sound strange... but it almost tasted like refried beans. There was also a good cheesy flavor involved as well. It was so different and executed very well. Not a spicy wing for those that can't handle it.Cajun Garlic Butter Bacon: These were easily the tastiest "looking" wings due to all of the bacon pieces on top and they smelled simply incredible. Again, temperature hot, but these tasted like they were cooked IN a garlic oil. My goodness. The bacon added a meaty, hearty, salty, bacon-y flavor that just went well with the garlic and Cajun seasoning.Truffalo: This one is easy. Truffle and Buffalo mixed together. Excellent. I'm truffle-biased so of course I'd love these, but I could've used more truffle if I'm being honest.Strawberry Habanero: These were refreshing.. The strawberry flavor was very prevalent and it reminded me of a sweet & sour from a Chinese restaurant, buy elevated. I didn't get a lot of heat from these despite the name, but I loved it.Ghostly Habanero: While I didn't find the heat in the last flavor, it was all here. This was the hottest flavor on the menu at the time and rightfully so. These wings were gritty, sweet from the peppers and the heat was INSTANT. The habanero gave that initial jumpstart of heat, but the ghost pepper is the one that ramps up over time. It took about 3 minutes for the heat to FULLY kick in, but it definitely did. I teared up, I was sweating and this is not a wing I could eat a whole bunch of. Delicious though!Peanut Butter & Jelly: These were the hottest temperature wings we've had. Lol. Peanut butter is so incredibly dense so it just held all of that heat in. These were served with fluff as a dipping sauce. They were savory and sweet. Done very well.Value: Chicken wings are already expensive on their own, so adding this level of skillset to cook them, the materials and all brings an order of 6 to $10.99 for "Basic Flavors". "Not So Basic" is 6 for $11.75 and "Basically Ridiculous" as well as "Dessert" wings are 6 for $11.99. You can of course order them in bigger denominations, but there are 100% worth it.In conclusion, sadly, I haven't been back here since June of 2022, but I want to come back SO BAD. It's just literally an hour away from where I live. Lol. I will be back Jason! Thank you for everything.“
“Took too long to get noticed at the bar 1st time 25 to 30 min and only after gestures were made more apparent to get noticed was the party service, and the second time attention had to be made clear service was needed ? shouldn't have to press to get attention to spend your money. Overall, I loved the place ❤️ had a fun time. didn't try the food this time , but I'll be back for a Smurder next time I'm there. Lots of very pretty women in the house ? ?“
“In my opinion, this restaurant has the best food in the area. Im talking all of New Haven County and then some. Everything is absolutely delicious, the prices are very reasonable, and the atmosphere is great. Not to mention, customer service is great. I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed.“
“Great bar with great people!! It gives you Cheers vibes everyone is so friendly and inviting!! And the food is delicious!!! I haven't had anything that I did not enjoy yet!! You want great wings, huge chicken tenders, a lobster roll, soup, steak and cheese and or a quesadilla... they have it all!! Yes this bar has soup, amazing homemade soups!! But the nachos...top notch noone has chips like these!! Homemade, light, crunchy and fried to perfection!! You want your nachos layered right this is where you go!!!! Go see for yourself! Try the Cruz comfort bowl and add chili ?! Update: Ordered the turkey club with sweet potato fries enjoyed every bite!!! This place never disappoints!!!“
“The lodge reminds me a lot of cheers! You walk in, and everyone starts to know your name… The weight staff is always very friendly and often strike up a conversation which I find something special these days. The food options are always great, and there are always a few specials on the list that catch someone’s eye. The draft beer choices are always rotating and changing which is great; often locally sourced. The bar area is always bustling, and offers a free pool table for patrons. There is also a large covered outdoor dining area for fair weather eating.“
“First time doing karaoke with Jimmy D Productions here. We had an awesome time. The Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls were good, drinks were excellent, and the staff was amazing. The place was packed! A much better atmosphere than Offshore where Jimmy was previously. The sound in the room was also great. Looking forward to going back for Karaoke again.“
“My wife and I stopped here for lunch after a train ride in from NYC, it was our first time at Reruns but won't be our last. It is a small, but friendly establishment - as the only non-regulars in the place it could have been uncomfortable, but Karen the bartender treated us like old friends. The owner/chef (didn't catch his name) was friendly, and a great guy. They told us (most of) the food is homemade. We had the French onion soup made by the owners wife (incredible), a buffalo chicken wrap with tots (very good sauce), a $19 lobster grilled cheese that tasted better than a $40 one elsewhere, and finally the clams over linguini (a special, I think). All of the food was delicious, they clearly take pride in their work. We had a couple beers (not sure the price) and finished off with an Irish coffee and a spiked hot chocolate - both were perfect. What an unexpected but 5 star experience. Amazing food, friendly staff, and friendly regulars (they had us cracking up the whole time). Don't let the small space, or divey vibes throw you off - Reruns is a gem and we can't wait to go back!“
“Magical find in an unassuming small town! I'm so grateful that Yelp steered me here when I was passing through from out of town. Perfectly seasoned, deeply flavored rabbit casserole. Excellent Portuguese wine and olive oil. Impeccable, friendly service.“
“I use to live in the neighborhood a few years back and this is the only bar I liked. I moved away 6 years ago but still go back there to eat whenever I'm in town. The drinks and food are great. The chef is not always there so call before you go if you want bar food. The Cheese fries with bacon are my fave. Bang for your buck :) Friendly staff.“
“a true diamond in the rough! i drove by this establishment almost everyday for the last 10+ years and finally stopped in. the owners/bartenders treated me like family from the moment i walked in and the menu is exceptionally reasonably for the quality AND portioning you receive. i cannot say enough good things about my first experience here…i WILL be back soon!“
“This place is a hole in wall. And you know what they say about those. Hidden Gems.... The food was delicious, customer service was fantastic. Before we can finish our pitcher waitress was back to ask if we needed more or anything else in that matter. We were able to watch the Football game we wanted with the volume up to hear it. (reason for the 5). Only con wish the TVs were bit bigger and more to watch various games at once. Not saying there was not other but were far apart where i had to turn around which a way to quickly catch Red Zone or another game or Yanks game. All in all great place to go with FB crew. FYI not open Mondays currently. so MNF is no go. Maybe we can convince them to start. ;-)“
“Loved the place! Sara was super sweet and the food was so good for how well priced it was during happy hour. Would totally recommend to anyone passing by in the area. The guests around us at the bar were very nice as well and provided us recommendations as we are visiting the are for the first time.“
“Happy hour was great! Mellow atmosphere with good music. I had wings and mozzarella sticks which were very good! I recommend trying out Strawberry Henny (you’re welcome)We had Rosa, and she provided great service! Definitely will be revisiting. :)“
“I have been fortunate enough to enjoy some incredible local gems while on my travels... The Victoria Inn isn't a gem it's a hidden treasure! Located in Naugatuk, CT. Pretty well Hidden in a small off road cove that is situated on a stream on the north end of Naugatuk, not so easily found off exit 78 you'll see for yourself! Home-made soups that will explode your taste buds, followed by awesome main courses reminding you that having taste buds is a gift of God! Yes the place makes your drinks, and does have fantastic bartenders... But if this place stands out not just because of the top notch service!!! Friggin eat somethin'!Parking: The lot is between lights on the left!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes rear entry“
“We’ve been going to the Rat for 40 years but the food, service and atmosphere has not been nearly as good as it has the last few years since the new ownership took over. Do yourself a favor and stop in at this Southbury landmark! The waitstaff, bar staff and management will certainly take care of you!“
“The food is always good, the staff is attentive without hovering, always pleasant and nice. Good menu with house specials, always perfectly cooked with great presentatio, not pretensious but not boring. The crowd has always been relaxed whenever I have been there. They have a nice patio. Plenty of parking. Prices are on par for what you would expect and the quality is always high.“
