Chicken and waffle sandwich with fries!!!
Terrell A.

Picked up food for lunch. I got the chicken and waffle sandwich and was not disappointed at all. Very delicious and comes with fries. Also big enough portion to have some leftover. The order was ready within 15-20 mins and the staff were very courteous and friendly. I want to go back for happy hour and have a drink and try some other stuff on the menu. It's not a huge place but looks very cozy and a few TVs to keep you entertained.

Food is good American fare. Standard bar bites. Great craft beer and drink selection. Chicken wings were fried perfectly, crispy on outside and juicy inside. Slider was cooked to perfect medium per request and waffle fries are soooooo good. Beef empanadas are delicious and served with a creamy green sauce with hints of cilantro. Mozzarella sticks were the best I've ever had. Crispy outside and great cheese pull. Fried pickles has a cornmeal batter consistency to keep them very crispy and hold together but a bit thick for my liking. Pickles themselves were delicious. Service is great. Many regulars in the bar area watching ball games. It's a little community where everyone knows each others names and it's nice that the staff know their patrons. Very welcoming place. Great decor inside. Modern, clean and smells good as they had candles lit. Parking is on the side and back of the restaurant. I found out they have brunch on the weekends and I look forward to trying it out.

Mexican eggs Benedict

Great atmosphere and very friendly service. We chose to come here for Sunday Brunch. I had the Mexican Benedict and it was fantastic. The rum punch on the cocktail menu is delicious!

Menu

I would like to state the waitress was extremely knowledgeable, informative, respectful, friendly, and all around outstanding. The ambience was chill and decent. It has its regulars, which is good. It was quiet and rowdy at the same time, if this makes sense, since it is still a bar. I deducted 3 stars for three reasons. I took a star off because the Philly cheese steak my grandpa ordered was unpleasantly salty and rather dry. There also wasn't much cheese and really no flavor, unfortunately. He stated it was the worst Philly Cheese Steak he's ever eaten. He also stated his sweet potato fries were over-seasoned with salt. I decided to remove another star since my grandma did not enjoy the margarita pizza she shared with her sister. She felt the pizza was too thin, crunchy, and a bit hard to eat. The cheese was also too salty for her. Another star was removed because I did not enjoy my pizza either, despite it being a custom pizza. I should have asked what type of goat cheese they used instead of assuming it was the same type I use when I make homemade pizza. The goat cheese tasted fine; the problem I had was with the sauce, thin crust, and the honey hot chicken. I felt the sauce was unappetizing and had a strange taste. The thin crust was unpleasant and felt a bit undercooked; the honey hot chicken lacked any taste of honey or hot sauce, it just tasted like grilled chopped chicken. Despite eating the whole 12-inch pizza, since I had not eaten all day, it was rather disappointing and ironic that the waitress even noticed I was not satisfied with the meal. My family and I had high hopes since a family friend we were visiting recommended this place, and spoke highly of this place's food and diversity. Overall, my family and I will most likely not dine here again. We essentially just ate the food since we were all starving in the moment.

Blackened Chicken Caesar Salad
Greg B.

First time here, food was very good. It's a bar menu so nothing fancy but if you're looking for a food bar, beer, food, sports on tv, then give this place a try. We had the nachos (very fresh and tasty) as well as a Blackened Chicken Ceasar. The chicken was very well seasoned, and tasty.

Lite pitcher
Saiteja G.

The happy hour prices are quite reasonable. We got the miller lite pitcher for 12$. However, the wings and nachos seemed a bit stale. Especially the wings. I am sure the wings were cooked a long time ago and just tossed in the sauce I chose. Very hard and stale. Disappointed with the food! We got the waffle churros with vanilla ice cream for desert. This was absolutely the delightful dish of my DDBG VISIT. I would try this desert again.

I haven't been here in many years definitely before being bought out by the chain PARKING - the definition of disaster. But they have a few spot's available ENTRANCE - you are kind of on your own so catch an employee for a table CLEANLINESS - a negative for me in that there was an old beer smell from the night before. I worked in bars decades ago and whom ever cleaned didn't do a good job MENU - very limited but definitely pub and grub WAITER - this is 5 star for sure service was exceptional. Albeit the policy there is you have to wrap your own doggie bags. APPETIZERS - the wings were dry and over cooked. The calamari was rubbery but the breading was light which is good. ENTREES - I had fish tacos and not great. The shells were soft and under cooked. There was no flavor at all. Had to add pepper and spices DECOR - very different but they have 2 big screen TV's for sports PRICE. - we had a party of 7 and with tax and tip the bill was just under $300 so not awful

Homemade Fried Pickles & Calamari
Julia K.

Calamari was delicious and perfectly fried. The pickles were delicious but the sauce could use a little love!

Brandon O.

If you know me and my girlfriend you know that we will literally travel anywhere for fried pickles! So a couple weeks ago our search for the best fried pickles took us to @drydockbargrille in Norwalk! Literally these were the best ones we have had and the potato skins and pickle back shots weren't too shabby either! I highly recommend @drydockbargrille if you are in the Norwalk area looking for a great place to grab a bite and some drinks!

With gay bars rapidly disappearing across America, Troupe stands out as a vibrant hub in the Fairfield County LGBTQ+ scene. The owners pour their heart and soul into every aspect of the bar including the programming, music, and atmosphere, and it really shows. The bartenders are warm, welcoming, and genuinely seem to love what they do. From drag shows and burlesque performances to seasonal drink specials, themed parties, and go-go shows, there's always something happening. Troupe quickly became my go-to spot after discovering it one week into living in CT and I'm so grateful for its existence. Huge shoutout to Casey and Nicholas for the love and tireless work they put into making Troupe429 what it is today--and of course to Johnny, who mixes the meanest elderflower gin and tonic in town.

Overall 4 of 5 but rounding up to 5 :)…read more 3 of us had a late lunch around 2 PM. They are 80% full however gave us a very small table and it felt very Squizzy. We had to ask for a bigger table and was led towards the end. Very interesting menu, we had the pu'er tea, which is not very commonly offered in the Chinese restaurants in the area. Love the teapot presentation and overall the branding effort. We tried to order the soup dumpling but was told something wasn't working properly and it's going to take over an hour so next time. Got wontons in chili oil, love the flavor. The mushu pork, a little bit too sweet for me. And the beef chow fun, just can't go wrong with that, and the szichuan pot with cumin lamp. I think this more authentic Chinese but my husband felt the lamb was too oily. I requested to get the little cute cat cup for my daughter's lemonade order and they said yes, so it was a very cute touch. Very happy with the visit definitely a lot of potential we will be back.

My colleagues and I decided to try it out for lunch after both my coworker and I bookmarked it on Yelp, intrigued by its reputation. We were warmly greeted as soon as we entered and seated immediately at a cozy corner table. The restaurant features a full bar with an extensive selection of spirits and creatively crafted drinks, which we eagerly ordered alongside appetizers and main courses. I chose the Mongolian Beef, a popular dish, while my coworker ordered the flavorful Orange Chicken and another chicken dish. I sampled my coworker's Orange Chicken, which was exceptionally delicious; it had a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, coated in a sticky citrus glaze that complemented the crispy fried chicken pieces. Another coworker ordered the Kung Pao Chicken: wok-tossed chicken thighs with colorful bell peppers, sliced onions, and dried red chilis in a robust Kung Pao sauce, with a spicy kick that was satisfying but too spicy for me to enjoy fully. I returned to my choice, the Mongolian Beef, a fan favorite featuring tender strips of Angus beef stir-fried with bell peppers and onions in a smoky, lightly sweet, and savory sauce. The dish was coated with a glossy, sticky glaze that clung beautifully to the beef, which was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. Every bite was rich in garlic and spices, making the dish both savory and satisfying. The customer service was exceptional; our server was attentive and friendly, even bringing us a complimentary Foutne Cookie Ice Cream dessert, which added a delightful sweet ending to our meal. Overall, the experience was excellent, and I look forward to returning to Lazy Sister soon.

Their ordering system is QR code based which I'm not really a fan of but the food did come out fast! The show stoppers were the crab Rangoon croquettes, Karaage onigiri and the yuzu bar. I only tried one cocktail which was the whassup and personally I did not love it. The burnt honey called to me but the wasabi tonic was extremely overpowering. I also felt the chimichurri on the pork belly yakimono was overpowering as well, but a lot of their other items are fantastic and maybe it was an off day for those items! I'd definitely return as there's so many things to try still!! I'm still thinking about the yuzu bar!

I'm no foodie but I am Chinese/Japanese and can appreciate finer things in life when I see it. This place meet and exceeded my expectations. The wonderful speak-easy tamaki-ya room in the back is warmly lit and held at a nice volume, much quieter than the izakaya bar in the front. For small bites we had the Beet n Hijiki salad (highly recommend!), Agedashi tofu, and Torched Maine uni. For hand-rolls I had the Spanish Mackerel, Hokkaido Scallops, Ocean Trout, BBQ Eal & Foie Gras, and Cucumber ume. My wife had the Maine Uni, Hamachi, and Botan Ebi. Everything was good, but there were quite a few that were very good, and there were two that, for me, were the best that I've ever had in recent memory. For the Spanish Mackerel Chef Taibe put an interesting spin on it by topping it off with a traditional Chinese ginger and scallion garnish used in a tender chicken dish. It works, it balances out the briny taste of Spanish Mackerel... which is great... unless you LOVE the briny, savory, mineral, metallic, umami taste of fresh Spanish Mackerel :) The Hokkaido Scallops was, by quite a large margin, the best scallop dish I've ever had. The tender sweetness of the fresh scallop combined with a brown butter kewpie (how American!) and yuzu tobiko sauce swimmingly. Texture, temperature, taste, all perfect. I like eel and I love Unaju. But by far the biggest surprise was the BBQ Eal & Foie Gras (see pic). This dish alone warrants a culinary course. On the face of it, bbq, eel, foie gras all sets you up for something rich, filling, heavy. But when I bit into the unassuming hand roll, it was the lightest bite of Japanese rice/seafood/seaweed/liver/sauce combo I've ever had. Turns out Chef Taibe prepared the sauce from scratch using five+ different spices, and prepared the foie gras au torchon. I could go on, but suffice to say, this was one of the best bites I've ever had. By contrast, I thought I was going to close out with the cucumber ume roll, but compared to the eel and foie gras, the ume actually felt more overpowering. Perhaps if they cut back on the generous amount of ume paste... (Worthy mention: Chef Taibe presents the nori in a separate envelope. This seemingly simple step is crucial to the taste and mouthfeel of the hand roll. It provides a wonderful fresh crisp crunch to every bite and it does indeed make a difference. He mentioned he sources a special nori but I forgot the details, just know that it's really good) My wife loves uni, and I'll let her describe her experience (which she won't) but it was so good she had to order a second one. As if you need more convincing, we had a great experience and I think you will too. Bravo Chef, well done

Recently enjoyed a pleasant dinner with friends at "The Wheel."…read more A few things to mention is it is recommended to make a reservation, especially on the weekends, considering how packed it gets. Also, the parking is horrendous due to its small parking lot. Therefore, the best parking space you could get is in the lot over. Inside is very spacious with lots of tables, a lounge area, and a bar. Its interior has a very industrial chic design that is perfect for a night out with friends, family, or a significant other. It also gives off a vibrant and relaxed vibe on the outdoor patio overlooking the waterfront. Ambiance rate: 8/10. The food my friends and I ordered: 1. R.I. Style Calamari: These were delicious! The sauce made it extremely flavorful! However, I wish it was a bigger portion and less amount of banana peppers. Rate 7/10. 2. Lobster Roll: This dish was yummy! The lobster tasted fresh and the bread was soft and but. However, I would've preferred for the roll to be warm, instead of cold. Plus, the fries on the side were mediocre. Rate 7/10. 3. Roasted Branzino: This entrée was tasty, especially the sauce it was doused in. A major dislike about this dish is how it's completely filled with bones in every bite. That part made it very difficult to eat. Rate 6/10. 4. Seared Sea Scallops: This dish was very scrumptious! The scallops were soft and the sauce was delectable! Rate 8.5/10. The staff were friendly, and the service was moderately quick. Staff/service rate 6.5/10. Overall, this is a nice place to enjoy a nice dinner for any occasion if you're in the area!
