This really is an awful restaurant as everyone says, sadly:…read more - yes the service is insanely slow (albeit friendly!)- do not be hungry upon arrival - both of us got food poisoning - the burger salad-- the "salad" portion is JUST iceberg (it says mixed on the menu), PRE-doused in a creamy dressing. This is NO salad-- see pic, will upload from other phone. Iceberg already wilted from being pre- soaked in dressing. More like how they describe 'salad' in the south-- not fresh greens, whatsoever. - burger came out completely well done despite their asking 'pink' -burgers completely bland -the food poisoning part needs to be mentioned 2x, ridiculous

Zero star review! Been going here for 12+ years but never again after today…read more Worst experience ever. Went there at lunchtime, 12noon. Place had been ope n for a while. 3 tables with people at them. No one at the door to greet you, no bar tender, no wait staff... after 10 minutes of waiting I went to the door to the kitchen area and said that there were a 7 people waiting to get seated and all I got was a lousy attitude from the one employee who was there. I will never go there again and advise you to go elsewhere. Lousy service, food used to be ok. Go anywhere else!!!

Each one was rich, flavorful, and worth every sip and my favorite so far is the chocolate brownie and red velvet cupcake Wayback Burgers never disappoints--it's definitely a place I'll keep coming back to.

Dogtown is the Northeast cheat code for satisfying a serious In-N-Out craving. If you know, you…read moreknow. My go-to order is the Dogtown Burger with two patties, extra cheese, no lettuce or tomato, grilled onions cooked well done, and plenty of Dogtown spread. Pair that with well-done fries topped with two slices of American cheese, spread, and grilled onions, and you've basically unlocked a full California-style burger experience without leaving the East Coast. The Bethel location really nails the vibe. They grill the patties in mustard and serve fresh, snappy green chilies on the side, just like the classic West Coast spots. It's the little details that make it feel authentic. Milford is excellent too, but Bethel gets the edge for those extra touches. The meat is consistently fresh, the burgers are messy in the best way possible, and the fries hit that perfect balance of crispy, cheesy, and indulgent. If you're chasing that Animal Style flavor in the Northeast, Dogtown absolutely delivers.

The entree portions were VERY generous, so much that I had 3 more meals from my Shrimp + Lobster Alla Vodka with Penne. While my hubby enjoyed their "smaller portion" of Steak Teriayaki Tips with Mashed Potatoes + Grilled Peppers and Onions with Gravy. He enjoyed 2 more meals from this "smaller portion". We started with a delicious loaf of fresh baked bread, I had a delicious crock of Chicken Orzo Soup and hubby had a Side Salad. Hubby had a soda, I added lemon to my water. We had zero room for any dessert. Wait staff was very attentive and checked on our progress without hovering. The biggest shock of the evening was the check, it was $20 less than we would have paid for a similar meal and beverage in our hometown of Poughkeepsie!! We both looked at the bill twice and agreed this was a very good deal, considering the portions and food quality. We tipped generously and in cash (our preference). The only concern I had was in the Ladies Room. The area around the heat register was extremely dusty and had lots of paper piled inside the flange. A possible fire hazard once the weather cools. But I never complain to the wait staff for something not an immediate issue.

Pretty average Texas Roadhouse. Nothing to write home about. It was super busy on a Friday night…read more I checked us in 40 minutes ahead for a table for 2 and didn't have to wait when I got there. We were seated in the bar area and ok service. We picked out the fattest bone-in ribeye they had from the pick your own steak area. We asked for medium-rare and it came out rare. My girlfriend only ate a small part of it that was medium and left the rest to me as I love rare...I was afraid if I sent it back they'd overcook it. We each got a house salad to go with it and split the steak because it was 30 oz. We got the bacon cheese fries as an appetizer and they were delicious. We asked for the blooming onion dipping sauce in addition to ranch. I would definitely eat here again. It was in a convenient location. The atmosphere is no different than any other TR. It's got a country theme with bare floors and wood tables. I miss the days when everyone threw peanuts on the floor. Bring that back!

Luckily it wasn't terribly crowded and we really lucked out with a wonderful server. We ordered a 12 ounce ribeye. It was tender and delicious. The salad was good and I always love the baked sweet potato. Between the good food and the wonderful wait staff, we had a lovely afternoon lunch. The price is comparable to places like The Place in Guilford where we ate two days ago! It's a totally different vibe because The Place is very casual, outdoor dining where you sit on stumps unless you bring your own chair or use one of their plastic chairs! Both provide a very pleasant experience, but they are quite different. If you have little children who get restless and love to run around, I would suggest The Place....

Me and my wife walked in the premises, received nothing but Unwelcome stares and smirks of disbelief. as a black man it's tough enough but now I walked into my favorite restaurant to cheer myself up after a long day of work, all the customers in the store also gave off bad vibes as they all shifted away from us in disgust clinging to the walls and chairs pointing them at us like we were monsters. As I approached the dirt and grime covered front counter I proceeded to order for the both of us, the assistant manager slowly rose up from the back of the counter with blood shot eyes, 5'o clock shadow, stains on his shirt and a name tag that said "hello my name is Derrick" he stood there menacingly, put his unkept hairy bandaged hang nail finger to my mouth slowly slit the tip of his finger in between my chapped bloody lips and whispered "shhhhh my sweet child, Derrick knows all" staring into his crimson colored eyes I felt a wave of uneasiness but I trusted him. After waiting for what felt like an eternity we finally receive our order from Derrick but this time something felt off, the mood of the whole restaurant changed entirely, the air felt thin and it was hard to breathe, my knees started shaking as I started gasping for air and clinging to my wife's hand already seeing her on the floor unconscious and everything slowly fading to black with a subtle ringing in my ears i hear Derricks voice one last time exclaiming "it's time for your payment" as he drags my wife's lifeless body behind the counter in such a manor which can only be referred to as that one sweet scene in anaconda 2 when the guy with the hat gets swung around in the swampy wetlands but anyways when they make it behind the counter he descends back into the pits of Tartarus from whence he came with the screams of the damned following them & my darling wife. a single tear streams down my face, he spits on me, I black out, wake up and I have these sweet fries with cigarette ash in them. If I could give a lower rating like a negative 10 then I would but I can't. Also the big booty bitch that was at the counter no longer works there :( read more
