“My family chose this venue for a bereavement banquet following my mother's funeral services. During such a difficult and emotional time, Gina and the staff at East Street Eatery gave us a soft place to land and treated us with the upmost respect and compassion. The service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely perfect. My sincere compliments to the chef and my genuine thanks to Gina and her team.“

“First off bri is an AMAZING bartender, she makes the best dirty martini I have ever had! That girl is awesome! She is extremely personable and makes the experience at tap n barrel that much better. Somebody give that girl a raise! Secondly, I had the cheeseburger wrap that was on the specials and it was out of this world!!! It needs to be on the menu ASAP“

“OMG everything was perfect and served hot. Leaving town tomorrow but coming back for what I'm sure be a fantastic breakfast. Wish we would have found it sooner“

“I've had many different plates at this spot but tonight.. OMG. I got the Mediterranean Salad with crispy chicken & it was sooo good. The dressing was delicious and although it was creamy, it was a light dressing. The fried chickpeas and feta made it!! My daughter had the kids chicken quesadilla w/ I'm assuming house made chips?! But our dishes looked EXACTLY like they presented in Facebook! *chefs kiss* also the guy working there was so nice!!“

“Food is unreal delish! Salmon and sea bass dinners. Staff all superty duper! Company was aight tooooo! Can’t wait till next visit! ❤️“

“I placed an order for pickup online. Showed up a little early and the gentleman behind the grill was so apologetic about my having to wait. I didn't mind at all, as it allowed me a chance to savor and enjoy the diner atmosphere around me. Reminded me of when I was a kid visiting the diner my uncle owned.Then I got my food. Jiminy Christmas, I gave serious thought to leaving my partner, just so I could marry the fries and burger. By far, one of the best burgers I've ever had. It was a religious experience and I'm fairly certain I saw some sort of diety while savoring the dripping deliciousness lubing up my fingers.Please throw your money at this place and ensure they stay in business. I know I will.“

“The work for this place is great great food great staff from the chef to the the waitress they are all such great people family rock never ate nothing I didn't like never had to wait on nothing very fast very polite ways taking food home it like if I order something I could eat off it all day sometimes the next day summer coming nicecday they have the patio and ask the chef will make it your way out of 5 stars if I could I give 10 it a,must try and take my word you will be back.“

“I won't let this take away from my rating, but there was a miscommunication that left me waiting twenty minutes to be served as a single diner, and there was an innocent little beetle on the table. Otherwise, the servers and owners were very sociable and friendly, and the food was great.“

“Awesome prime rib dinner,and the creme Brule for dessert,yum and a drink for under 40,,,,, please“

“We enjoyed a great dinner before the snow storm. Nice place!“

“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.“

“This place is awesome, the friendly staff and people that come regularly to sporting events or just to watch a game or enjoy their nice patio in the back area is awesome too. I'm a new neighbor of the area and it's a clean atmosphere with wholesome people and great wings in wet and dry flavors, all the food is delicious and with good timing calling in or sit down.Parking: First come, first serve and fills quickly for happy hour time , game days but there is Street parking all around. Don't block driveways that's all or u will be towed.Kid-friendliness: Yes kid friendly insideWheelchair accessibility: Yes.“

“I have eaten at The Meating Place many times always so delicious from the steak sandwich,fish sandwich,fried dough,hot dogs, sweet potato, regular fries and onion rings and for the cold weather delicous soups and they even had beef stew! They have specials too!! Well worth stopping and grabbing a meal to take home and in nice weather they have picnic tables to sit at and relax and enjoy this delicious comforting food!“

“Called a week in advance to book a 2pm lunch/dinner on Saturday of Mother’s Day weekend with family coming from various states across the Northeast. Over the phone the hostess was extremely friendly and found a spot for our group of 10-11 people at 2:30 today. The hostess over the phone warned us that we would have to go up and down stairs to get to the room which we greatly appreciated because we had some elderly members of the group who were able to prepare for the stairs in advance.Upon arriving we were promptly seated in the green room upstairs which was the perfect size for our moderate sized party. The room was great for conversation because it was away from the hubbub of the rest of the restaurant and we were all around one large table. This also made sharing apps extremely easy which we enjoyed. Our waitress, Kelly, was absolutely phenomenal. She took careful consideration of when to put in our food so as to not crowd the table with plates too soon after we got our appetizers. The overall pacing, presentation, and flavor of all the drinks and food was amazing and everyone left extremely satisfied. As someone who is from CT and who planned the get together with family for this weekend, I couldn’t be happier with how J Tim’s and Kelly accommodated us. We will definitely be returning in the future for similar events.Only reason 4 stars was given for atmosphere is because it’s tough to tell what is intentionally antique in the restaurant and what paints, light switches, etc are genuinely in need of repair or cleaning. I understand the building has been around for generations, and this by no means will make me not want to eat there…but I do think there’s a fine line between restoring/preserving a historic building and performing necessary upkeep, maintenance, and replacement of small things such as cracking paint or water damaged areas.“

“Listen hear I don’t even leave reviews but this spot right here I just went for the 1st time I spent 85$ and omg everything was great the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had on the East Coast? and the homemade blue raspberry and strawberry omg plus the banana pudding IM ON MY WAY SLEEP NOW LOL JUST HAD TO LEAVE THIS POST HERE!!!!!“

“Love the way they keep it old traditional style breakfast with amazing severs and fluffy pancakes and omelets! Never change, your restaurant is perfect just like it is. America is changing fast and I know I'm not the only one who appreciates and enjoys a bit of a homecooked meal from a genuine place.“

“My favorite place to Order from!!The have like everything!! My Go To is there Steak & Cheese Subs the toppings are endless lol ?!!! There crinkle cut fries are so delicious perfectly fried!! There sodas are huge lol There prices are even more enticing!!!“

“Yo this place is the TRUTH. So much good food for the prices. The way Mexican should be served…just moved here and it’s right down the street from my new apartment…needless to say I will be frequenting this location much more…5/5 if you want Mexican takeout in Waterbury this is it…“

“We ate here the first time this week. I had the BBQ Short Rib Melted Cheese. It was divine! We'll be back.“

“Really good diner style restaurant, breakfast and lunch only. Went in for breakfast on a Sunday morning, crowded, but they had an open table. Food was great at a price point bit lower than a other restaurants of this type. Good service, quality food, good sized portions, good pricing. All the qualities of an exceptional diner.“

“THE place to go for breakfast!A little old school is a good thing when it comes to the PepperPot.. cash only, friendly efficient staff, and fantastic food.I had a Breakfast burrito, eggs, bacon, Chipotle aioli, and potatoes. It was just great, tasty as heck.My GF had a Greek Omelet, spinach, feta and tomatoes. It was great and too big for her appetite, made a great lunch for me the following day.Both meals came with great hash browns.. too often hash brown are potatoes and paprika, not here they are well cooked and super tasty..Coffee is good and you will never have to track down a server for a refill, the staff is always on top of it.This place is just great and we will be back.“

“We hosted a surprise birthday party at Lola’s and can’t say enough great things about the experience. From the early calls of getting our date booked, all the way to the end of the night, the staff was always willing to help with whatever we needed. We got there early to decorate and the room was already neatly set up. They provided the tablecloths, wine glasses, ice, etc. Our server was extremely attentive, helpful, and communicative throughout the night. She kept the bar stocked, brought out candles when we realized we forgot to bring some, and even stood on a chair to get the perfect group picture of all of us. She bagged up all the leftover food and cake and made sure everyone had what they needed throughout the night. The food was phenomenal as well. Highly recommend!!“

“This is my favorite place to get breakfast. The owner and family that run the business are amazing! The selection is vast, and everything I have tried has been delicious. The customer base is friendly, and I have run into people I know coming for a great meal. It is a cozy place. You can dine in or carry out. My favorite place, especially if you want a great bagel! It is a guilty pleasure that is worth it!“

“We stopped in here on a Sunday for dinner with our two kids. Ordered wings, some quesadillas and had a few beers. Everything was delicious and the service was wonderful and friendly. Beer selection was great too. I want to try a burger next time, they're probably great.“

“Excellent food. Service is great.“

“Nice little breakfast place. Unfortunately, we sat near 2 older, opinionated men who used racial words in their discussion, loud enough for all to hear how they feel about other races. The food was real good and it was reasonably priced. We will return and hope for a better surrounding of “

“Friends brought us frozen eggplant parm, chicken parm & baked ziti. I just had surgery and can’t cook. We cooked them all up & every single dish is delicious! Excellent food. I am an eggplant parm aficionado and it is excellent. We are just thrilled by the generosity of our friends and thoroughly are enjoying the food! We love Craving for their breakfast & lunch but now we will be stopping by for the frozen entrees as well. Keep up the good work Cravings!“

“I love Latin Cravings. The food is so good, and the prices are reasonable. The chicharrón is amazing and the yuca is so tender. The arroz como gandules is worth every cent. Please come eat here if you want authentic Spanish food. I know the hours are nutty but it’s worth the drive and money when they are open.“

“Delicious breakfast!!! And great service!“

“Friendly bartender, great vibe and food was priced fairly and was delicious.“

“I really wanted to absolutely love this pizza and it was a really good New York style slice however the end 2in of the pizza were undercooked so you got this doughy flour flavor in your mouth with the first couple bites but once we ate through that and got to the pizza that was cooked correctly it was delicious. Cook that pizza a little longer and you got my 5 stars.“

“Great food! Attentive servers!! First time and I regret not trying it sooner!! Will definitely be back!!“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Flair tonight for dinner and were blown away. A beautiful, cozy atmosphere and the food and service there are beyond amazing. So many choices on the menu, we will certainly be back to try more of them!“

“The food was amazing and incredibly filling, and the staff was super kind and helpful. The restraint can get a bit loud though. The bathroom was very clean too!I am vegan, and was able to order some rice and beans. I chose the small portion, which was pretty large. The food was incredibly tasty! Would come again!“

“amazing pizza!! we ordered 10 party size pizzas today and they came out perfect. we got -meat lovers -clam casino -buffalo chicken -florentine -mousakka -cheese all were awesome! everyone at the party raved about the pizza! and everyone kept asking where it was from!“

“As I've said many times. I love a Hole in the Wall spot. Bailey's Cafe might take the Cake.If you are near or far definitely stop in for lunch! I indulged in a savory Chipotle Bacon ? Ranch Burger made to order, fresh thick sliced vegetables with steak fries. The Bourbon Wings made me Regret only ordering 6 should've taken 12 more home ???. Sweet potato fries for the win crispy to the order, fresh coleslaw..... The Bill came to $37 something I tipped $15. Compliments to the Chef.

“A huge Thanks to Rose and Victoria for making my sister’s retirement dinner so special! Food, drinks, and service was fantastic! Everyone raved about it! You definitely made it a memorable occasion for all of us“

“Gayle's is a spot to go get breakfast classics. They do it well. If you want some fancy breakfast that is 3 times the price this is not your spot. Eggs benny is my rec. service is great and super fast. Great if you have young kids who don't like waiting.“

“Would have been great if it weren't for the Anti-military atmosphere. Only "young and dumb" join the military. This wasn't from the service but the patrons, but still of all days, 9/11 shouldn't be one of those days. I really hope this isn't the local me tality here.“
