YES, I have been thinking about those onion rings since last time! The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable, and not all breweries do 1/2 pours and these guys do! When you don't want a full sized beer but just a little more ... they got you! They do have some fun T's that you need to check out when you visit as well, 'cause who doesn't want something to remember this visit! You HAVE TO STOP HERE WHEN YOU ARE IN NORWALK!!!!!!

A couple of bars in the area so if one of them is packed, you can go to a different one across the space. The food was very good- got the marg pizza and jalepeño poppers and a couple of beers. Definitely on the pricier side for food, the personal pizza was $17 and poppers $12, but they were tasty and I would come again. A nice spot to meet up with friends after work, and I believe they do weekend and/or Sunday brunch. Ample parking. Hidden gem!

Love can be a funny thing…read more Before recently, I had never even heard of this place. However, what brought me here comes from a name I do recognize: Jillin It. These are matchmaker events hosted by Jill, and I know of some neat love stories that came from her events. I had actually been meaning to go to another Jillin It Event for some time, but for various it just never quite aligned. Example, I might have gone to Elicit Brewery over in Black Rock for the Valentine's Day event less than three months back, but I was in the height of recovering from H Pylori. Tonight though, I was feeling much better and I've trusted Jill's services enough for a while that I decided to go to this one. Yes, I am a hopeless single, but I'm a hopeless single that enjoys going to meet new people every now and then! We were given a ticket voucher for a drink at the bar as a part of our ticket prices. There were plenty of options that sounded good, but in the end I went with the Evil Genius Trick or Treat Chocolate Pumpkin Porter. It's a very IPA kind of drink, but the notes of chocolate were subtle yet easily identifiable. I do appreciate the bartenders here for being patient with me while I took my sweet time being the world's worst drink decider. I also grabbed up a Build A Pie as I needed food to eat right this very second when I got in. It's the first time in a while that I had tomato sauce in my pizza, but everything else I got as a topping are quite a bit like what I would choose for pizza toppings. In order as it appeared on my receipt, I had fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, ricotta, bacon, basil, garlic, and hot honey. Honestly, for those toppings, the price was actually pretty good! After a $6.33 tip, I paid $28.34 for the pizza. It was a thin crust, wood-fired, and definitely a crispy lil boo thang! It's not the best pizza I've ever had, but that's because compared to other pizzas I've had this has very stiff competition. This was a W pizza right here! It hit the spot when I needed it and it's something I would order again. The ambiance however is really where one should put the most weight in when having anything from a place like this. It's a primarily outdoor place, so it was a good thing I came here on a nice evening in May! I can't imagine this being popular in the winter months or when it's raining. But it's perfect for large groups, and certainly an event like tonight's! It's great for social outings. I'm gonna go ahead and give this a 4 based on my first impressions of the place. It's definitely a good spot with good service. Long as you don't mind the kids running around and come on a good weather day, you're in for a treat! Before I go, let's bring the subject back to love for a bit. It's not easy. In fact, love can be a very hard game to play. But it works in mysterious ways. If your door is open, then let your heart be your guide.

The Crock of Chili came out piping hot with melted cheddar, jalapeño, sour cream, and tortilla chips, rich and hearty from the first spoonful. The Breaded Popcorn Shrimp was crisp and well‑seasoned with a wasabi dipping sauce that added just the right kick. We ordered the Peremech Sandwich twice -- Tut's spiced ground beef wrapped in pastry with bouillon, sour cream, soy sauce, and sautéed onion -- unique, savory, and surprisingly filling. The soft‑shell crab sandwich was the standout, fresh and cooked perfectly. Overall, great staff, very good service, and large portions make Rory's a dependable spot for a solid lunch.

The brussel sprouts were really burnt so I'm not sure if I would recommend them. Probably wouldn't order them again. The pizza was so good tho!! Delicious flavors and combinations.

While the breakfast and brunch menu items were tempting, I was in the mood for a good old fashioned burger. There's just one on the menu, with specific toppings but I just got a regular cheddar cheese one with avocado and mayo on the side. The result was delicious and just what I needed on that gorgeous day. I actually started with a cookies & cream vanilla iced latte, and believe it or not it actually wasn't overly sweet and very well balanced. I tasted a strawberry ginger lemonade that someone else ordered which was great too, actually having strawberry fruit pieces in there. The interior was nice and bright, with kind of a nautical vibe which wouldn't be out of place since this area is very close to the ocean. The service was great, so for sure check out this fun spot if you're in the area!

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.
