For a small neighborhood spot, this place had the most amazing food! Plus our wait staff was very attentive and steered me away from any food that contained egg (as I have a severe egg allergy). The entree portions were VERY generous, so much that I had 3 more meals from my Shrimp + Lobster Alla Vodka with Penne. While my hubby enjoyed their "smaller portion" of Steak Teriayaki Tips with Mashed Potatoes + Grilled Peppers and Onions with Gravy. He enjoyed 2 more meals from this "smaller portion". We started with a delicious loaf of fresh baked bread, I had a delicious crock of Chicken Orzo Soup and hubby had a Side Salad. Hubby had a soda, I added lemon to my water. We had zero room for any dessert. Wait staff was very attentive and checked on our progress without hovering. The biggest shock of the evening was the check, it was $20 less than we would have paid for a similar meal and beverage in our hometown of Poughkeepsie!! We both looked at the bill twice and agreed this was a very good deal, considering the portions and food quality. We tipped generously and in cash (our preference). The only concern I had was in the Ladies Room. The area around the heat register was extremely dusty and had lots of paper piled inside the flange. A possible fire hazard once the weather cools. But I never complain to the wait staff for something not an immediate issue. read more

Absolutely fantastic! We had their 744 burger and the black and bleu burgers yesterday. Everything was incredibly delicious. We also tried their honey garlic wings which were perfect! I went back today to try their garden salad with blackened chicken and it was to die for!!! 100% has become one of my favorite restaurants. The menu is expansive, making it simple to find a dish that everyone will enjoy!! Ps. Their garlic parm dressing is incredibly delicious!!! read more

744 West Bar & Grill - 744 Garden with blackened chicken - American Near Me - West Haven, Connecticut

Good service good food good customer skills the bar tenders are polite they have friendly staff you can eat in or out that's special

Found this local gem while in town visiting family. It seems to be a neighborhood favorite, and I can see why. Parking is available behind the restaurant, and the wait staff were friendly and attentive. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. Must-haves: - Prime rib: Tender, cooked perfectly medium rare as ordered. 5/5 - French onion soup: Forgot to take a picture, but it was the star of the meal. Rich, flavorful, and comforting. 10/5 - Fried calamari (NY style): The marinara dip had garlic and hot peppers. It wasn't spicy (to us), but added a nice kick. The calamari itself was crispy and well done. 5/5 - Fries: Shoestring style, crispy, and just right. 5/5 What to skip: - Their pasta dishes. The chicken parm with linguini came in a very generous portion, but the sauce was watered down, the flavor lacking, and the chicken cutlets were dry and soggy. 3/5 - Seafood pasta (not pictured): Same issue with the sauce - bland and watered down. The portion was large, but the flavor didn't hold up. 2/5 read more

Me and my friends love this place. It's like the hidden gem of the area. We are always welcomed in by either the bartender and/ or waitresses and seated very quickly. Once you've perused the menu, youI'll see the prices are beyond a great deal, literally I can say it's pre-pandemic pricing. I love a great deal, it gives you that feeling of great value. All entrees except for sandwiches, come with soup or salad. They have their normal large portion meals, and smaller portion meals which make for an even better deal as well and you'll get more than your money is worth. I've gotten the prime rib and ribeye here. Both are great choices and were cooked to my desired temp of medium rare. Very flavorful and fatty which I love. The ambiance here is like your local neighborhood Applebees, except brighter, with fresher food that is mostly not made from frozen, workers here are very friendly. The decor here is wood tavern I'd say. Overall it's been a very great experience and we will definitely be back for more. I highly recommend this place if you're in the area looking for a good at a great price! read more

Very cute, cozy and festive inside for the holidays. The service was fast and friendly! Our server was efficient and checked on us without coming around too often. Burgers were very tasty but mine was just extremely extremely greasy. Had to sop up grease off the bun. However, I still really enjoyed it and it hit the spot. Coffee was good as well, that classic diner style coffee. Can't go wrong with that! read more

Elderly dad and his girlfriend ate there a few weeks ago. Had a seafood dish and was sick as a dog the at night and all day the next day.

Food is excellent, but unless you are a regular, don't expect stellar service. - Especially in the bar area

Very reasonably priced great food good service fun place can get a little loud always ball games on their televisions and portions are extremely large. Highly recommend this local neighborhood joint. read more

Thank you, 744! Yesterday my family and I came after our great uncle's funeral because it was his favorite bar. We didn't call ahead or give notice - just 25+ members of my family showed up and flooded the bar area and outdoor patio. THEY DID AMAZING. I cannot say thank you enough. Josh immediately sprung into action. He was kind, he was attentive, he was fast and most of all he was compassionate to the situation. There also was another lady that came to help him, and she was amazing as well! I didn't get her name, but she was also great and I want to say thank you to her as well! The drinks here were exceptional. Everyone said they like their drinks and my favorite was the Senorita. The food was amazing also! The buffalo shrimp were at 10/10, the Calamari was good, and the wings were fried perfectly! My family and were very pleased with our experience! Everything was exceptional and we truly felt at home. read more

This place is awesome. Love the small plates. Just enough to eat out, but not break the bank and drinks as well. Staff super friendly read more

My four brothers, sister-in-law & I came here for dinner. It was a great experience with both the apps & the main meal. I had the end cut of prime rib which tasted very good. Anybody who likes prime rib end cuts, has to give this place a try. All six of us enjoyed our meal! read more

I had dinner there a couple of times with friends. Every time we went whatever we ordered was delicious. And the portions were very large that we all brought home leftovers for the next day also it was reasonable. How many restaurants you could say that now a days. read more

Good soup. Good conversation it reminded me of CHEERS walked in and they seem to know my name before I ordered.

I travel 95 corridor twice a month and try to arrange my trips around this place for lunch or dinner. Awesome food. Great unbelievable prices!! Diverse menu. Great service!! read more

744 West is a wonderful restaurant for delicious food every time you go. It's family owned. The staff really enjoys their job. Best burgers anywhere; big, juicy and so much flavor. Italian dishes, flat breads. Water with lemon, bread and butter served. Full bar and beers from local breweries. Take the family or go with friends. The staff works hard and Moma Mary makes sure everything is done right. read more

Came back here twice in the past week because everything was so good! They always greet you with a hot out-of the-oven loaf of bread with their own garlic butter. Started with their delicious fried calamari. Lightly fried & melted in your mouth. Their homemade soups are so flavorful. I tried both their pasta fagioli & potato leek. My Mother had the shrimp Parmesan on special with veggies instead of pasta. She loved the big serving of yellow squash & zucchini they served! She said the shrimp was delicious & she ate the whole thing! My husband ordered the salmon oreganato which was out of this world good, with a baked potato. This was off their regular dinner menu & came with (2) salmon fillets about 6oz each! Very large portion, he took one home! I had the shrimp & scallop scampi over linguine that was very good. Also a large portion with leftovers for the next day! We were too full for dessert but they did offer an Oreo cake, chocolate lava cake or cannolis. Great, friendly service. They always openly appreciate your business here. Their menu is so big, with so many options. I had their 16oz prime rib with baked potato the other night. It was perfectly cooked & again, had enough leftover for another meal! Dinners are under $20, include soup or salad, bread, potato or vegetables, with enough for leftovers. Super impressive & always a great dining experience here! read more

What a great place, a busy one too!! This restaurant is on the Post Rd in West Haven. We sat at the bar since the restaurant was pretty packed. I started with a French Martini. Many places don't offer these but it's one of my favorites! Bartender made it perfectly. They have a small plates menu which I have posted. You get a salad and entree for $13.99!!! You get plenty of food. I got the Chicken Francese with mashed potatoes. The chicken melted in my mouth & was full of flavor! I love me some mashed potatoes! I hate making them but happy to order them when out. After dinner I had a Downeast hard cider. It was a great night, service was great. I will definitely go back! read more

This place never disappoints. The service is always great and the food is priced reasonably and rather tasty. Not to mention the serving size is huge. Highly recommend this place. I always stop here when in the area read more

Last time I came here I remember it to be amazing since my friend said it's great. I think I got some sort of seafood pasta. That was maybe 5 years ago tho. Came here a few weeks ago and got the lobster roll and it was not good. Fries were pretty good, but not a lot of lobster and it just didn't taste very fresh. Maybe frozen lobster meat I don't know. Kind of dirty in there too. Nice staff though. Friendly and attentive. read more

food is always good and so are the prices, service is great as well. definitely recommend!

My friend and I came on a Monday night. There seemed to be just one waitress for the whole main dining area, and it was a little painful to watch her try to get the constant stream of folks seated. It took a strangely long time to get our sandwiches or extra napkins. (Wait, we never got those napkins.) I'm keeping the review at 3 stars because some of the food was quite good. I haven't had a table-side bread that was this scrumptious. It's essentially the loaves they use for the huge sandwiches plus garlic butter. You're basically making your own garlic bread at the table. I could probably just eat their bread and be happy. Their hot bourbon molasses wings were also a notch above average. A bit messy but worth it. Our sandwiches were more of a disappointment. They were kind of bland. The chicken chipotle wrap, while it had some kick because of the sauce, was otherwise pretty tasteless and could have used more interesting textures. My friend's caprese was doused in balsamic, and the cheese could have been warmer or melted. Not sure I'd come back - or if I do, I'd definitely skip the sandwiches. read more

Don't get the nachos. You can make better nachos at home. They were literally chips, cheese and some chopped tomato. Entrees were mediocre. We sat at the bar. Bartender was friendly. Drinks were good. read more

Great! The Waitress was awesome she made sure everything was on time. Despite the demand of Full House in effect running on fumes. Every Table taken with 3 more waiting to be served. Love the Grilled Pork Chops! Zucchini and Squash was great and other than technical difficulties My Wife's Broiled Seafood Combination was pretty good! Let's not forget them Sweet Heat Chili Wings was read more

The table, was dirty. Appetizer, plate dirty. Overall, cleanliness of the outside & inside of the restaurant, terrible. I should've listened to my first thought and not came in judging by the outside appearance. Trash around the building and unkept. The steak, lobster with sherry sauce, TERRIBLE & tough! The Tuesday dinner cook is terrible. The table next to me sent their plate back. read more

Great little find. Service and Food great. A little dated but would certainly be back.

I enjoyed the salmon oreganato! The fish was fresh and tasty. The grilled vegetables were excellent also! The wait staff is attentive and friendly! read more

Small local place with ample portions at a very reasonable price considering the escalating rise in food prices. No real ambiance but nice enough. Good selection of food with some specials. Always prepared and seasoned well. Was initially surprised by how good the food was in a place none of my friends heard of. Been back multiple times now and always pleased. The prices will lure you back. read more

This has always been one of my favorite places. Always get the 16oz prime rib. We went a few months back ordered the usual. When it came out it was the petite cut at best. I showed the waitress and she said yes it does look like the petite cut. The thickness was about 3/8" on one end and maybe 1/2" on the other. She came back and said the chef said they hand cut and weight them and it was definitely 16oz and that's what I was charged for. Like I said I get these all the time there. so I wasn't going back. Well I decided to give a second chance. This time it was just the center and the outer strip although a little bit thicker. My wife saw it giggled and said guess we're not coming back. I'm so sad and disappointed. Not sure maybe they changed chefs. She got pasta with red clam sauce which was also OK. BTW The wait staff is always pleasant. read more

I hadn't been here in years but it's as good as ever. Although the exterior hasn't been updated in years and it doesn't do the place justice, the interior is really comfortable and welcoming. Our server, Jenn, was great. I order the French onion soup which was delicious and tasted as if it was made from real beef stock. It was cheesy and crispy. The Cobb salad was huge and loaded with great toppings. I will def come back sooner than later read more

Let me start by saying, I don't understand how this bar isn't packed with a line of folks waiting everyday. The food was excellent! I've had the fried provolone, the wings, a la vodka pasta, calamari, Buffalo shrimp, and more items than I care to spell out at the moment, and they've all been extremely good! This is truly one of those "hidden gem" type of places. read more

I'm a huge fan of 744 because of their wings. You can never go wrong ! However today I decided to try something different which wasn't a good idea. The rice was soaked in what appeared to be water ?? No clue but not good at all. I think I'll stick to wings on out. read more

My mom and I were in the area and stopped in for lunch on Saturday. We were so impressed! The shrimp and scallops penne was delicious and chicken/broccoli over rice was wondearful. The sweet potato fries were among the best I've had. The meals came with soup or salad and we ordered one of each. The chicken orzo soup and romaine salad were both fresh and delicious, and were served with warm bread and soft garlic butter. All the portions were generous.
