    This is our new favorite restaurant in Westport - we always look forward to coming here! The name "Backyard" is the perfect name, because everything made here really tastes like it's homemade. The staff and owner are extremely warm and kind, which makes you always feel welcomed. You can't go wrong with any food you order here! The burgers are all extremely fresh and flavorful, the fried chicken is breaded perfectly, the salad is deliciously proportioned, and the wings are to die for (with the best side of ranch in the area... I wish they sold it in tubs to take home!) They do also sell beer and wine for alcoholic beverage options. We also heard they serve brunch as well... which we are excited to try out soon! The inside is charming and is designed with a lot of fun personality. Just a note for accessibility: The indoor seating is all stools and high tops, which may not be comfortable for older guests or guests with mobility limitations. However, the outdoor seating in the warmer months provides a lot more seating variety for everyone - and their patio is absolutely adorable! They do have heated igloos on their patio as well during the colder months. We are so excited to have Backyard in our local community. We bought gift cards for our entire family for Christmas - if you haven't tried Backyard yet, you are missing out!

    Stopped at The Backyard for lunch after a surf sesh on a hot Friday and it totally hit the spot. We ended up sitting inside to cool off, it's super cute inside and has a fun, laid-back vibe. Outside is awesome too with cornhole and spots to hang out. Definitely a great place to chill post-beach. Beer selection is top tier. A little pricey, but you get the good stuff , Bissell Brothers, Canned Heat, Widowmaker, and more. Super impressed by the options. Our server was awesome, super friendly and on point. We both got burgers and fries, and wow... the fries are amazing, probably some of the best I've had. Burgers were huge and delicious. I could only eat half. Prices are around $20 for a burger and fries, and beers are $10+ depending on what you get. The music inside had a great old-school vibe that totally matched the place. Can't wait to go back, it's right off 88 and a perfect stop after the beach.

    We checked out this place and were not disappointed. The fried pickles are a must. The friend chicken sandwiches were good but they are huge and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I had split one with someone. It's a low key place with a few tables and a bar. They have an outdoor area but it was raining the day we went. I imagine it would be very buggy, but it would be worth checking it out. The staff was nice and efficient. They had records playing which made for a nice vibe.

    This place was an amazing find! Came here on Saturday, the 26th. Gorgeous fall day and we sat outside. Fantastic beer selection, amazing burger! The white BBQ sauce was amazing! Dip your fries in it! Definitely coming back!

Our waitress was…read moregreat and really made our time special by joining in with birthday wishes and being attentive. We ordered the Gorgonzola mushroom pizza and the tomato pie with pepperoni, and both were outstanding: gooey, cheesy, fresh, and full of flavor. The kind of pizza that lives up to the hype. We ate way more than we should have and still walked out with leftovers. Great food, great company, perfect way to celebrate. Highly recommend for a special occasion -- or really any excuse to go!

    The reputation arrives first…read more Walk into Frank Pepe's on Universal Boulevard in Warwick, and a hundred years of reputation walks in with you. The original is on Wooster Street in New Haven. It opened in 1925. Frank Pepe was a 32-year-old Italian immigrant from the Amalfi coast who had been selling pies from a hat, carrying them on his head through the neighborhood market to feed factory workers who needed something hot and good and cheap. He saved enough to open a real restaurant. He built an oven. The oven stayed put for over 100 years, because you do not move a hundred thousand pounds of brick. His nickname was Old Reliable. That history is sitting at the table with you whether you know it or not. The Warwick location lit its coal-fired oven in the spring of 2018. Seven years of continuous heat. The bricks are absorbing it slowly, not all at once but building. You can taste what they share with the original, which is the part that matters. We ordered the tomato pie with meatballs. This is the right call at Pepe's and I am not apologizing for it. The tomato pie is where the place began. Two items on the original 1925 menu: tomato pie and tomato pie with anchovies. No mozzarella because there was no refrigeration. Constraint became tradition the way it always does, faster than philosophy ever manages. At Pepe's, mozzarella is optional. Pecorino and the tomatoes and the crust are the baseline, and the baseline is the argument. The sauce is crushed Italian tomatoes. That description undersells it. The sauce at Pepe's has been refined for a century to carry a pie without a cheese safety net, which means it has to be bright and acidic and complex enough to hold its own against char and dough and whatever is riding on top of it. The meatballs were sliced thin across the tomatoes and seasoned all the way to the center. That is rarer than it should be. Then there is the crust. The coal-fired oven runs somewhere above 650 degrees. The char on the edge is not decorative. It contributes a bitterness that cuts right through the acid in the tomatoes. They need each other. The leopard spots across the bottom of the pie tell you the heat and the timing were right. The crispness is structural. The chew underneath it is real. We also ordered the grilled chicken pie. Yes. At Frank Pepe's. The room has opinions and the room can have them. What I did not expect was for the chicken to be a genuine star. Not pulled, not scattered, not the afterthought that grilled chicken usually is on pizza. These were proper chunks, with intentional size, juicy in a way that should not survive a 650-degree coal oven but somehow did. Substantial. The kind of protein that makes you feel good, even though it's on a pizza. When I eat it, I feel like I'm taking vitamins. It tastes healthy. There is a lot of it. It is delicious. These three things rarely show up together on a pizza and Frank Pepe's managed all three without making it feel virtuous in the annoying way. It felt like a reward. Frank Pepe's in Warwick is not the original. Nothing will ever be the original. The original is on Wooster Street in a city that built its identity around this particular pizza and has been arguing about it for a hundred years. What the Warwick location is, is an honest attempt to bring the New Haven style here. The coal is real. The oven is real. The sauce is the sauce. The crust is the crust. Seven years of heat in those bricks doing the work that oven was built to do. Great room. Great service. Really great pizza. Old Reliable.

We've stopped here a over a year ago, and was really please with the oyster bar that was there that is no longer. Nevertheless, there were about 12 yummy food vendors to choose from. We decided to give APizza and Cusser;s Roast Beef & Seafood a try. We got everything to go, since we were staying within a min walk. APizza was amazing! We go it by the slice, I wasn't expected much, but it blew my mind!! It was a New Haven style cheese pizza... my first time. The crust is so thin and crisp with a nice chew, the perfect amount of sauce, and nicely cheesy. I was impressed, and can't wait to go back! Cusser's Roast Beef sandwich was delicious as well. My husband is the roast beef connoisseur being from New England and all... he was in heaven! It was juicy and medium rare with a James River BBQ sauce and we added mayo to it per the owners suggestion and it was super tasty. So yes, great options at this food hall, we were very satisfied! We were so thrilled with our snacks, we went back later in the evening for dessert at Mike's pastry... cannolis yum! Thanks Hub Hall for making our tummies happy :)

We had the meat lover's pie and oh my. Wgat a delicious fusion animals, cheese, tomatoes and crust. The taste took me back to a pizza I had many years ago at a place in Cambridge--in a great way! They only sell whole pies, which at first seemed annoying (the first time I tried coming here a few years ago I was by myself and couldn't eat a whole pizza alone) so I had to make this my inaugural tasting). But I see that as ensuring you are only eating a fresh product, where all the ingredients cook into each other and come out hot and ready, instead or something reheated from four hours ago because the day was slow. The menu is simple: pizzas and meat skewers. They know what they do well and lean into it hard. The ambiance has a rustic feel, with tall, weathered wooden booths that make eating a close experience, so please bring people you really like! The servers are present but not hovering and checked on us with the kind of frequency that says, "yeah we should let you eat but not forget you are there." I will be back for sure.

Pizza was ok, not my kind of pizza, the crust is very thin and cracker like, it doesn't hold up under additional toppings. Flavor of sauce and toppings was good, toppings were also generous. Service was fine, it took the wait staff a little bit to notice we were waiting to be seated. Overall it's worth a try, there's a reason they've been in business over 100 years.
