They even give you a thermal lined take away bag which is reusable...bonus!! I'd be lying if I said it was the best burger I've ever had, but it was serviceable and cooked right. The pretzel sticks were a hit with my kids and the fries (although salty) were pretty decent, especially for take away. The chicken sandwich was also cooked correctly and tasted just fine. It seems that many of the critical reviews center around slow service so I think that doing take away helped remove that aspect as we only picked it up 45 mins after ordering. I'm sure that when compared to all the cute foodie spots in Waterbury McGs isn't quite on the same level, but overall it was exactly what I needed and they did a great job! I'd order again without hesitation.

We waited about 15 minutes for a table. Not bad at all!! Our server was energetic and accommodating. She cheerfully answered all our questions and honored our request to get a margherita pizza as an appetizer. The aforementioned pizza arrived in no time. It was good. Not the best ever, but still quite solid. The star of the culinary show was the salmon entree. Both my wife and I got it and we both loved it. It was a big piece of wood fired salmon and came with a nice assortment of roasted veggies. I'm talking real veggies--zucchini, broccoli, fingerling potatoes, the works. Neither one of us are big drinkers, but there are LOTS of microbrews on tap if you're into that kind of thing. The dining room was lively without being too noisy. Both of us enjoyed hanging out there. It would be a great place to have a beer and watch baseball on TV. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

Our waitress was a delight and let us know a bit more about Vermont considering we were travelers on vacation. We sat outside and despite how chilly it was they had a beautiful semi enclosed patio with heating that made it feel like we were still inside the restaurant. We got the Gorgonzola crusted filet mignon as well as the chicken Caesar salad and it was truly a 10/10 meal! The flavors were bold and delicious and the filet mignon just about melted on your tongue. If I'm ever back in Vermont I will definitely stop by again to try the rest of the menu!

Since it was a national holiday, the Waterbury Patriot Burger called out to me. Great choice- nicely spiced, cooked perfectly on a fresh brioche bun. The accompanying kettle chips were yummy. I chose to have a mug of Hill Farmstead Symposia-a delicious Rauchbier poured from a LUKR tap (side-pull). What a treat. Jane chose sliders that quickly disappeared. Her beer choice was Common People from Bluejacket-a micro brewery in Washington, DC. You can always count on the best beer selection anywhere at Blackback Pub. I only wish we were staying in town longer so we could enjoy more of their deliciousness. The bartender was very friendly and attentive despite being slammed. Looking forward to stopping by again when in the area.

We arrived a little earlier than the original reservation time and still had to wait a good amount of time to get a waitress? We were sat by the bar and as the bar was getting crowded we got less and less attention from the waiters. Appetizers took 45 minutes just to have cold soup and warm wings, adémame was hot, we put our dinner order and the waitress was going to fix it but forgot to take the soup, when finally came for the soup my husband couldn't get a word out to tell get YOU CANT MICROWAVE SEAFOOD but it was to late she was gone with the bowl , as he sees them microwave the lobster bisque 3 times, according to her that is how the make the soup. What???? 1 hour later we get our main course sushi ( hiraki, mango tango, with no mango) doused in sweet sauce and my husband got Vermont cheese stake sandwich and of course it was cold. At that point he didn't say a word, wanted to eat and get out. Even to pay we had to wait a lot. No i cant recommend this in a high season, to understaffed to care for a big crowd.
