Very good BBQ! I…read morerecently came here for lunch and had a very good meal. I went with a Carolina Pulled Pork sandwich, cornbread and the mac 'n cheese. The sandwich was awesome! I really enjoyed the Carolina sauce. Bonus: They have more sauces at the table. So I added a touch more of Carolina. The slaw on the sandwich was fantastic too. The mac n' cheese was awesome! Nice and creamy with a smokey note. Definitely try that for a side! Corn bread was good! Always a nice touch when eating BBQ. Inside of the restaurant is nice. There's a lot of cool rock memorabilia along with a screen that rotates pictures of some really cool older cars. Service was excellent; very friendly and my food came out quickly. You order at the counter, grab a seat and they bring your food out when it's ready. Drinks are in a cooler near the area where you order. I'll be putting this place on my lunch rotation going forward.

I tried the onion rings, I tried the Philly egg rolls, I tried the wings, the Philly fries AND the BBQ Bacon Philly sub. Everything had great flavor. The onion rings.. crispy and hot with a dusting of magic powder that kept me thinking I want more. Maybe, some magic sauce on those wings YESSIR that's what you want. Extra sauce! The BBQ bacon sun was blasted with bacon and drowning in cheese, with a nice sweet BBQ sauce holding it all together. If your looking for a Philly cheese steak in CT... this is THE Place.

I think I ordered online for takeout and my order was ready within a reasonable time. I ordered a large chicken pesto specialty pizza and a small specialty pizza with standard pizza mozzarella, fresh mozzarella, and piped ricotta. I also ordered a penne all vodka and chicken cutlet. The crust on both pizzas was very good. Good char. A good mix of crispy and chewy. The chicken pesto pizza was terrific. It has chicken cutlet slices, pesto, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and ricotta. Really every part of this pizza was great. Highly recommend. I ordered the 3 cheeses specialty pizza almost out of curiosity, because I've never seen anybody go all in on those cheeses like that. The good news is, that within that pizza, were the components of a very good pizza. The blend of these cheeses didn't completely work for me flavor-wise though. Also, these cheeses produced a bit too much grease. I'd order just the sauce and standard mozzarella next time and I bet it would be very good. The penna alla vodka was a chunky sauce version. The noticeable chunks were mostly onions. I'm used to more of a blended version. I respect that this dish has its own vibe, but I personally prefer a blended version. The sauce flavor was good. The chicken cutlet was very good. I bet they make a great chicken parm. Service was friendly and efficient. Apizza Heaven won't win any beauty contests. The inside is functional. There were a few tables. The outside could use some attention. There were a few random things around the general area. I definitely noticed them when I was walking in. I think people would have a better first impression if those details are taken care of. Overall, I'd rate my experience 4.25 Stars. But I could definitely see getting up to 4.5 or 4.75 on future visits.

I do wish there were more signs, as both the parking lot and the entrance felt a bit vague and easy to miss. Once we finally found our way inside, we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere reminded me of another local tavern. Staffed by friendly people. The food was good, and the overall experience was enjoyable. My only disappointment was the lack of information about the history of the establishment. There is a lot of marketing that references its connection to a jailhouse on the menu, but very little information is actually shared within the tavern itself. I found myself wanting to learn more about the story behind the place. I also think it would be fun to add a photo-op area--perhaps even outdoors--with a set of mock jail bars where guests could take pictures. It would fit the theme and add a memorable touch. The tavern itself is fairly small, so I can imagine it gets quite crowded during busy times. Overall, it's definitely worth checking out.

One of my favorite items was Leberkäse a German sausage loaf in the shape of our meatloaf. Absolutely fantastic! I also picked up course and fine Liverwurst, Weißwurst, Knockwurst, German Bologna and a Keilbasa luncheon meat.......all delicious!
