Ordered two kinds of pizza. Both were basically cheese pizza with little cheese and a minimal sprinkling of toppings. Disappointed as I rarely ever get pizza. Boring! read more

Ordered a Margherita pizza, which was supposed to have fresh mozzarella according to the menu. When I got it home, it looked and tasted just like a plain cheese pizza with tomatoes--no sign of fresh mozzarella anywhere. If that was fresh, they might need a new vendor. I don't treat myself to pizza very often, so this was really disappointing! read more

I stopped by for a late lunch with my sister during the week. I can't remember what my sister got, but I ordered the Tarred and Feathered - fried chicken with pickled jalapeño tartar sauce and melted cheese - with a side of fries. I LOVED my sandwich. I actually ate the whole thing without having any left over. The fries were also very good. This will be my new lunch spot after shopping at the Clinton Outlets! read more

Good food. Good service. The dessert was the surprise. $14.00 for a small piece of flourless torte cake. It should have cost $7-8 dollars. They do not have menu for the desserts, so you can't see what it costs. read more

Taking a drive down to the Connecticut coast during the dead of winter with ocean winds blowing in the air sounds like a bad idea, right? MAYBE. Unless you're taking that drive to checkout Chow Food & Beverage. A dining atmosphere that makes you forget its January with a cozy barn vibes on the outside and sophisticated but casual dining on the in. Chow Food is probably the best kept unwrapped present for all you Clinton Outlet shoppers (although I didn't come here for that). Located LITERALLY 1 minute from the outlet entrance. Chow Food is set back from the road and is housed within a big red barn looking establishment with a large wood burned sign that says "chow." When I walked in, I was surprised to find so many different seating options given the shape of the building. I was worried that it wouldn't be ideal for my daughter and me, but we were able to be tucked to the right after walking into a separate dining area away from the bar. The food here is DELICIOUS. We started out with a [Chow] fries, which come in a metal bucket that's served on a wood platter (for sauces). I opted for the Chipotle Aioli dipping sauce. The fries were tossed in a dry rub for a unique taste. Once those were gobbled up, out came the main event. My daughtered orderd a small cheese pizza, and I ordered by recommendation the Raging Bull sandwich/burger. You get to choose your protein. I decided on a chicken cutlet. When it arrived, it had a melted cheddar, pickled jalapenos, red onions, and Chipotle ranch dressing. YUM. I opted for a side of Mac and Cheese to see the quality of Mac. And it did not disappoint. This was no EASY MAC. It arrived in a mini skillet and was ready to spoon out. The service was quick. Attentive. And it was everything you could want from a January afternoon. Warm and inviting. This place will be on my food stop EVERY time I make my way toward the Connecticut shore (but maybe when it's a bit warmer ). read more

Firstly, the ambiance here is New England. If you're from here it'll feel like home, if you're not, you get the New England experience. The food exceeds expectations. We ordered two pizzas and a burger, all unique and delicious. Staff was patient, helpful, and friendly. Definitely recommend. Check it out! Have faith in love, and love is food. read more

My new favorite spot! I've been meaning to try this place out for years now, because my friends have always raved about the cocktails and martinis! I finally met my girlfriend for some pizza, brussels sprouts and cocktails, and we had a blast and loved everything! I've actually returned three times since, in the last couple of weeks! They have a pretty good range of items on the menu. Higher priced items and a little more upscale. We sat at the bar, but there were plenty of families dining at tables around us. The staff was attentive and service was good. Pizza was okay, but those brussels sprouts with Parmesan cheese and pancetta! Oh my! When I returned, the drinks were a little bit inconsistent based on my previous experiences, but still tasty! CHOW has become one of my favorite, local places, these days! read more

It's no longer the same - I don't care for it. This place can't seem to figure itself out. Moved from BBQ to Italian - back to BBQ and Italian. And still has that ridiculous menu title of "tarred and feathered" chicken - I mean come on - be aware of the historical context of this phrase! Needs to rethink itself - do one thing well - like buffalo wings or more of what you have that works! Well, too bad - it's in a perfect location too. read more

So delicious... our second time here and I remembered to take pics! We had the pulled pork sandwich (absolutely perfect), ceasar salad... fresh dressing & all, fries... salt & peppery perfection and their pizza which I had zero expectations for was amazing! The sauce is delish and the cheese crisped to our liking! Ambiance is perf, good for kids, service excellent! Stop in on your next trip through / around CT. Right off the highway! read more

We came here last Friday night for dinner and luckily it wasn't too busy due to the holiday weekend. The place was well decorated for the holidays and they had special holiday cocktails that were awesome - especially the adult Shirley temple. We shared maple Sriracha wings that almost didn't need dressing but there was no way we were passing up the homemade gorgonzola dressing. We all got burgers and it was a rough choice picking between the many options of toppings and ciabatta or brioche buns. Our servers were very nice and patient. We will definitely be back. read more

Chow Food & Beverage - Shrimp n grits- yum! - Pizza Near Me - Clinton, Connecticut

First time trying Chow. Food quality and portions were good. Service was just ok. Nothing special. The one thing I left bothered by was the server asked us if we wanted more bread with one of our appetizers. We said sure but come to find out we were charged extra for the bread. Please let the customer know when something is an extra charge especially if we didn't ask for more. It's just common courtesy.Thank you. read more

We were worrying about the parking situation because we have a long bed 4-door truck. Much to our surprise parking was easy. Going inside the charming restaurant we were greeted warmly and seated. The waitperson came quickly, taking drink orders, and laying out the specials, including desserts. When she brought the lovely old fashioneds, cider, and iced tea, she took our orders. When the food arrived it was plated very well. And let me tell you -- every single dish was spectacular! I had shrimp n polenta cake. Oh, my gosh, it's the best one I've ever eaten, crispy yet tender inside. The seasoning was spot on. I hope to eat there again on this trip. read more

Super standard food but super cute place. Staff was ok. We came during a bike meet and it seemed they were a little occupied and overwhelmed with the crowd. BBQ was ok. Brisket was VERY dry. I'm sure it's bc it was sliced sandwich thin. I subbed pulled pork for short rib and was underwhelmed. Nothing tasted like they season their meat and they may over cook it. I like my bbq to be able to be ate without bbq sauce and falling apart. the sauce shouldn't carry the meat nor have to be drenched in it. The chicken was nice and juicy but the star of the show were the French fries. Love that they have themed seasonal drinks that tell a story my mojito was delicious. Not bad but nothing to write home about. Great location not far from the beach. read more

Ordered their chili and a pizza. The chili was just warm when it was served, so we sent it back to be reheated. When it came out the second time, it was better, but hot really hot. It also was very very spicy. My friend could not eat it because it was too spicy. I ate mine and enjoyed it. The meat in the chili was in big chunks and flavorful. I got a large bowl and thought it was more show than Quantity. Then ate a small pizza, all mozzarella and half sausage. The pizza was delicious. It was very thin and the crust was cooked to perfection. The cheese and the sauce was flavorful. Off street parking and conveniently located. read more

Unfortunately, very disappointing. We loved the old Chow and were sad when it switched over to Italian but wanted to give the new Ciao a try. The menu really is not Italian, not sure what it is? Thankfully they left most of the pizzas on and they were good as always. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich hoping it was the same delicious one from the previous menu. It was not, the pulled pork had the texture and temperature characteristics of food that was frozen and reheated in a microwave rather than freshly prepared or properly reheated. It was very mushy with little taste. I took one bite and left the rest and the server never even asked if everything was ok. I guess seeing that the place was empty on a busy summer night should have been a good indication. Please bring back the original Chow! read more

Pleasantly surprised with this find! Started off with the BBQ nachos with chicken; the BBQ sauce was savory and sweet with a hint of smoke, and the serving size was meant to be shared. The ambiance was cozy and friendly. The menu displays an impressive range of traditional BBQ and BBQ inspired infusion; we ended up getting the Figgy Pop and the WTF ; their ingredients may seem to be ambitious and even overly decadent, but actually works very well while being balanced. Will be back to try the different pizzas, as our eyes ended up being bigger than our stomachs! read more

This is a wonderful place. Arrived on a Friday around 1 PM for lunch. There was a nice crowd. They have plenty of beautiful outdoor space to eat, but as the fall chill arrives the option is to sit inside seating did seem a little tight but for this food and the quality of its staff, I would've sat on someone's lap Cheeseburger egg rolls were a nice surprise exceptionally crisp very tasty with a wonderful dipping sauce. The mac & cheese with the pulled pork was excellent in terms of both components. The mac & cheese was delicious and creamy very tasty and the pulled pork was clearly smoked and juicy the french fries were also very good but we're elevated by the goat cheese Dipping sauce, which is not to be missed. We also ordered a glass of sangria, which was made even more perfect served in the glass about as big as our heads. They had a number of special cocktails for the day, which was a nice offering. The staff was very friendly if not a bit busy as we had to waive down our final check, but there's nothing wrong with being busy, wonderfully polite interested in our comments on the food and friendly. We did not have the hamburgers, but I will tell you they looked awesome, were plated well devoured by their guests. The pizzas that went by look like Connecticut bar style pizzas. The waitress said there were a number of really good ones. We may try those what will be a number of memorable returns to this location. read more

I tried the Bullseye Burger (a special, not always on menu), and a cheese pizza. Both were decent. Sat outdoors. Above average beer selection. I don't have a lot to say about this place either way. It's not top of the charts but also not disappointing. I like the depth of menu. A good stop after a day at the beach. One suggestion for ownership: It's not a great view having the dumpster in the front parking lot with the outdoor dining. Also not a great look when a kitchen worker rolled a garbage can full of garbage past the diners to the dumpster. It's sort of odd. read more

TLDR: Amazing atmosphere and even better BBQ Just went to Chow for a quick bite after shopping at Clinton Outlets and it has to be some of the best BBQ in CT. The food was so good I completely forgot to take a picture until half way through the meal. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich on gluten free bread and not only was pork PERFECT, but it was some of the best gluten free bread I've ever had. The Chow fries are also a must have. We also had the ribs and they were to die for. I can't rave enough about Chow and I will definitely be coming back! Also shout out to Kylynn, she has to be one of the sweetest and most attentive servers I've had in a long time. read more

Review as of Summer 2020 The patio was open, but it was too hot to eat outside especially without table umbrellas. We went inside where it was cool and the tables were properly spaced. For some reason there were many flies by one window trying to get out. Not a deal breaker, but they should try to get a handle on that. Riley was super sweet and attentive. Brisket sandwich - solid Pizza - broccoli spinach mushroom. Good crust but not enough marinara. Riley brought us a generous side of marinara. Strong drinks: we both got a Pirate's Booty and I left tipsy! read more

Ordered a pizza today at 6pm, when the server told me that it would take 1 hour and ten minutes for my pizza to be ready I almost said forget it. Well I wish I had. We ordered the "Ricotta be kidding" Which is: Ricotta Be Kidding! Red sauce, fresh mozzarella, ricotta, bacon, house sausage, fresh basil Well, to start the pizza was visibly burnt, the toppings were so meager I think I had 2 pieces of bacon on my two slices and only 2 tiny pieces of sausage, the ricotta was so dry because it was over cooked and the crust just crumbled into charred pieces. Worst pizza ever. This place is all hype and no substance. read more
