    Thanksgiving Turkey Wrap
    Michelle S.

    If I was basing this review on the wait staff this would be a 5 star review. Rebecca was great! Extremely personable and attentive. I couldn't decide between a burger and the Thanksgiving wrap and the wrap was what was recommended. Unfortunately, the stuffing was not great and neither was the gravy. The sandwich did have fresh sliced turkey. I was given several options for a side and chose mashed potatoes. My husband's cheeseburger Mac & cheese was pretty good and we decided to splurge on a skillet chocolate chip cookie with ice cream for dessert. That was very good. We may or may not visit again, if back in the area.

    What a cute tavern looking restaurant! Service was so nice and I loved my salad with spiced salmon, ginger and wasabi dressings. Yum!

    Visited twice in one week while staying in the area. Food and ambience were great. Everything we ordered from the menu was delicious. They have a separate gluten-free menu. We enjoyed feeding the goats and chickens after our dinner. Looking forward to visiting the Branford location when it opens!

    Nice menu that has something for everyone. Not many places have moo shu tacos and falafel flatbread.

    Just genuine people with a great product and a customer centered approach. Great menu, good beers on tap, live music ad $1 oyster happy hour!

    Kick'n Chicken Sandwich

    Stopped in with a friend to get some lunch- I ordered the Kick'n Chicken Sandwich. Wow! Huge delicious crispy chicken breast- sandwich was delicious! Also got a mountain of tater tots. Unfortunately I was too full from the giant pretzel appetizer to have room for the whole sandwich. Good problem to have! My draft beer was ice cold and the service was great. Extra points for being reasonably priced, too. Wasn't my first time and won't be my last!

    Loved the food, drinks, service and vibes here! Super cozy spot and perfect place for some bevs and comfort food on a cold December night. Apps were great - give the sticky nuggets and pretzel a try and you won't be disappointed. The mains were large portions and more than enough for everyone. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. Love the Christmas decor and festive holiday drinks. A lot of polar express groups seem to stop here before their trips north. Loved how helpful and accommodating the staff was - incredibly friendly to all sized parties.

    Plenty of parking all around the restaurant. We made reservations to be safe on Easter Sunday but they weren't very busy when we came in at 12pm. Plenty of options for kids and adults. We had heard about the buck a shuck from a friend and saw the brunch options as well. The kid's menu is a bit pricier than most spots especially for a plain or simple lunch option. They have endless/bottomless mimosas and bloody mart options. We ordered 3 dozen oysters, mimosa, avocado toast, buttery noodles, NE Clam chowder and mother of dragons. We had Jocelyn as our waitress. She was super sweet and friendly. The mimosa was ok but the mother of dragons drink was delicious. It had spiced rum, dragonfruit, cranberry, orange juice and a spalsh of soda. The avocado toast breakfast was filling. It was a bit too much avocado on one piece of toast but was enough for 2 pieces. The homefries were well seasoned. I will definitely order them extra crispy next time. For the kids they have crayons, menu they can color and wikki stixs! Love what they had for the kids.

    It's fine if you are hungry. The fireplace is nice. The food is pub food. Nothing special or note worthy.

    Stumbled upon this gem of a place yesterday and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. The…read morefood was absolutely delicious -- the pretzel bites arrived hot and fresh, the meatloaf was hearty and comforting, and the green beans were cooked to absolute perfection. The shepherd's pie was another standout, cozy, flavorful, and wonderfully filling. And do not skip the bread pudding -- it was absolutely amazing and the perfect sweet finish to the meal. The only negative was our booth: right in front of the door, so every time it opened (and it was often), we got blasted with cold air. Next time we'll sit further in or upstairs. If you're running around Old Saybrook and need a quick, hearty meal, this is the place to be.

    We made our first visit here several days ago, dropping in for a midday lunch on a pretty crowded…read moreSunday. With some good and some not-so good, we concluded that we aren't likely to return -- in spite of the really yummy tartar sauce (more on that in a moment). Penny Lane is a bit of an English Pub-style restaurant on two levels. We ate upstairs since the lower level was filled (steps, no elevator that we saw). Service was slow to nonexistent. It took us ten minutes to get recognized by a server who asked if we wanted something to drink and took another five minutes to get it. After we ordered we waited 25 minutes to get our food. We got no drink refills. Maybe service is better in the first floor? Ah, the food. Fish and Chips is essentially pub food, so that's what we got. The crust was light and buttery, quite good. The fish was utterly without any sort of flavor, as bland as could be imagined in your worst imagining. The tartar sauce was super good, but it just couldn't disguise the fact that the fish was tasteless. We also tried the poached egg and corned beef hash, which was ok though the hash was kind ... well, and of a hash, unremarkable at best. Conclusion: There was little that was appealing in our experience. Oh yeah, another ten minutes to get our bill... a long afternoon.

    As our first visit to Strange Brew Pub we came to see a Beastie Boys cover band. Having never seen…read morethis band, nor been to this location we were not sure what to expect. The hubby read some of the other Yelper's comments and knew to go upstairs, really glad others mentioned that! The space is just big enough that you don't feel like it's tiny but just small enough to feel like you're right in the action. The bar tenders were friendly, they had lots of beer selections (not all on tap, many canned options) and the band turned out to be absolutely fabulous! Following Strange Brew on Facebook is a great way to find out about all their different shows (bands, trivia, comedy, etc) and I don't know why we waited so long to get there! We'll definitely be back.

    May stop by again when it is warmer…read more Unfortunately, there is no sign on the door downstairs, at street level, to ask new patrons to go up the stairs, especially on a dark rainy night. A great thing is their response to Facebook requests for information. But, It was cold outside and when we came in, upstairs, it was cold inside too. So we decided to leave and find a place that was a bit warmer. Nite that there was plenty of seating and it looked like a nice venue. ***** Facebook response for parking. Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few options for parking including on street parking on both sides of the road. Our building is located on the right side of the road (Water Street is a one way road). There are also three parking garages across the street. Each are available for parking, two of them have signage that says otherwise but it does not apply to our business hours, 6pm till closed. There are a few other parking garages located in downtown within walking distance including Main Street parking garage. There is also parking available in the lot at the marina, about a two minute walk from us on the road running parallel with our road. Please feel free to ask any questions you have regarding the venue &/or event(s). Thanks! For the entryway their response: Sorry for delay, On the right side of the building their is a staircase. Although we own the entire building, we are located on the second floor.
