Went with my wife on a Saturday afternoon. Just walking past and thought the outside seating looked cool. The food was great and the service was awesome. Had a nice tiki bar feel to it. The pretzel alone would be reason to return, but everything we ordered we enjoyed. Looking forward to making Notch8 a regular stop for the summer. read more

This place has a great "meet up with friends" atmosphere. American pub type food and pizza. I have tried most of the apps and they are great. Cuban and fish tacos are well done. Good mix of beers on tap and fun happy hour cocktails. Great attentive wait staff. This is our go to place!! read more

Always Great ! Order Take out or delivery all the time since this Covid situation started never have any issues. Pizza and wings are the best in the area considering there is a pizza place almost every 50 feet in bethel that's truly saying something. Keep up the great work Notch 8 and thank you! read more

Such a great place!!!! Food, service and atmosphere is exactly what Bethel has been missing. This will be my go to spot from now on. Great job! Notch8. read more

Great food selection. Very friendly and attentive staff. Only problem is the live music is too too loud. My boyfriend and I couldn't hear each other and had to leave early. But if you want to eat good food and not talk, it's a good place to go. read more

Decided to go to Notch8 last minute and arrived at 8oclock to a full house. I was blown away by how fast we received our food and how amazing everything tasted. Diverse and unique menu that does not disappoint. Awesome atmosphere as well with excellent service. Bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Deep fried pretzel is delicious and the beer cheese is out of this world. Loved the ricotta and jam toast, which is not an item I am used to seeing on a menu. Philly cheese steak was packed with flavor, and hands down the best I've ever had. We will DEFINITELY be going back! read more

New and enthusiastic service team backed by seasoned professional owner Tony Heslin equals great experience The staff and menu of Notch8 proved to be built to please. Great ambiance, and well groomed offerings on the menu left nothing to complain about I have been at many new "hip" places in the past that I have left feeling that either the food or service wasn't ready for prime time...Not here! The proximity to the sister restaurant Note allows for the professional staff to hold Cooper and ensure quality all around. A must go in my opinion. The cannoli pizza is an evil plot to keep me coming back here! read more

The food is very good but the drinks were substandard. Ordered a tall Tito and cranberry. All I tasted was cranberry blend not real cranberry juice. This is the second time this happened. Just sticking to wine or beer now. read more

We had great service by our waiter, Joshua. The food was fantastic, and the service even better!! We love it here and will definitely be coming back! He was very pleasant, attentive and he was friendly and overall a great waiter and he gave us great service!! read more

My first visit to Notch 8 was a few months ago during the COVID crisis, shortly after they reopened restaurants for outdoor dining only. The tables were spaced a very good distance from each other, and each server had gloves and masks on. When my friend and I walked up, we were greeted warmly, seated and given paper printouts of the menu. The servers that day and every time I've been there since have all been wonderful. They truly do seem to get along like a little family. The orders are always brought to the table in a time manner even if the other tables are filled. They are always careful to observe safety precautions. I've been there probably 6 times in the last 3 months, and the food is always hot, fresh, and tasty. The Pretzel appetizers is really something special. Its not mushy and gooey like everywhere else. The crust is thick but airy. While the pretzel is large, you don't feel like you've eaten a rock afterwards. Normally I like pretzels drenched in some kind of a cheese sauce, but I eat this pretzel plain. The sauce is like a honey mustard with a bit of cheesiness to it. Its good, but the pretzel has such amazing flavor on it own that it doesn't need anything else. The Southwest Cobb Salad is a large portion, easily a meal itself! Loaded with fresh avocado, Pico de Gallo, cheese, you can add any kind of protein you like, grilled or Buffalo chicken, salmon, steak, or a burger! The Korean chicken and Waffles is for those who love flavor and Spice. Sometimes you have to compromise favor for heat. Not this time! They brought the heat and sweetness in a epic combination, and poured it over a crispy chicken breast and thick, fluffy homemade waffle. While everything i have to saw about Notch 8 is positive, I have to say that there was one specific thing that made a huge first impression within minutes of arriving at my first visit. With out menus we also were given a printed letter from the owner. It thanked guests for choosing Notch and what to expect during our experience. It said that for proper sanitary purposes, our meals would be in to go food and beverage containers, plastic utensils. It asked to please to ask for condiments or any extras all at once since servers were walking extra far back and forth to the kitchen, as patio dining was new. It also said to enjoy ourselves, we were finally out again! He reminded that since restaurants were finally opened again, this also marked his servers returning to work after being without income for months. He said that many had faithfully waited to return and if they helped you enjoy your dining experience, to please consider showing your gratitude, as they too were choosing to put their safety on the line to help you have a lovely time out. I found the letter truly impressive, because it showed how much he valued his employees and cares for them, their safety, and their well being, and expects them to be treated with respect. It showed a very human side, a "realness." He was being straight and to the point, basically saying, hey, you're choosing to come out and dine while some people are still terrified of this illness that is literally killing people, and my servers may be some of those terrified people but some may be thisclose to losing their house or unable to feed their kids. So if you're not one of those people who has lost so much money from this economic nightmare that you can afford to eat out, and you are in good enough help that you are going to out eat, please be generous and show my servers that you appreciate being able to dine out again for the first time in months. Right now, that literally is a luxury for many people, and a couple months ago when people were more frightened, servers too were likely very scared but they needed to take care of their families too. I highly respected the owner caring for his people and being so straightforward with our community reminding us to be grateful for the gift of being able to leave our homes after several months, and to help share that gift. read more

Notch 8 is great. Delicious food with great pizza. Chelsea C is a wonderful waitress and it was a pleasure to see her again.

Very disappointed!!! By far one of the worst meals I've had. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich that was under cooked, fatty dark meat that ended up in the garbage! I will say the French fries were tasty ( almost to much seasoning though for me)! My husband had the fish tacos that were edible, ok at best....Sorry Notch 8!!! Maybe the pizza is good??? read more

Just had a casual dinner at Notch 8. Wings, salad and a pizza. Everything was tasty and the service by Joshua was excellent! Thanks Joshua for making it memorable. read more

We wanted to try Notch 8 in person when they opened but unfortunately didn't get a chance before coronavirus hit. Luckily they're still delivering via DoorDash (separate note - please tip your delivery people well during this time and always!), so we got the chance to try them on Friday night. It was absolutely delicious!! We all got variations of pizza - I myself had the salad pizza which was delicious. The pizzas were big enough for two meals afterwards! We also had their garlic knots which came with three dipping sauces - one marinara, one pesto and one garlic aioli. They were amazing!! Tons of garlic and so delicious. They also have plenty options for vegetarians and vegans, including vegan cheese and impossible meat. We really enjoyed the food and will be ordering again! read more

Update: the pork taco recipe has changed and is more BBQ flavor making it a bit "heavier" of a taco. Still good, large portion of pork in each of the 3 tacos, but a pickup up order is a pointless soggy sad mess, I wish they double up the tortillas or serve them on the side "build it yourself". The tortillas all broke apart before we picked up the order :( had to eat them with a fork. The sweet potato fries, and nachos are awesome though. Not worth adding on the chili for $5. The fried pickles is a very tiny portion but also good. Truffle fries had little truffle flavor. Order pickups are always on time and correct. read more

We went to Notch 8, and it wasn't on a weekend, so they seemed a little busy, but not overly crowded. We were seated immediately, but it wasn't until maybe 15 minutes later, did someone come to our table and took our drink orders and gave us menus. We waited another 15 minutes for our drinks. After our orders were taken, it was another 20 minutes before the appetizer came out. We finished that, and waited, and waited. When the food finally came out, one order wasn't hot. When we complained, the manager asked if we wanted another order, we said no, and he took it off of the tab. Another dish wasn't what should be expected for a burger. The meat had fillers, and it wasn't cooked to order. The wings were over cooked, dry and tasteless. Also, the music was SO loud the waitress had a hard time hearing us speak and we couldn't hear her. read more

This place is too notch!! Food and service were both perfect-great menu selection and chef even made my daughter a tiny pizza to sample. The entire staff was attentive, friendly and on top of everything. Will be returning soon!! read more

Notch 8 was jumping the night I went for my first time. We had the buffalo wings, pepperoni pizza and the house salad. We had a few beers and some wine. The beer menu was good and the wine list was also good. Overall I thought the food was really good and the atmosphere was fun. I would recommend and will definitely be bacK. read more

My family and I just came back from Notch 8. We ordered way too much food- but that didn't stop us from eating a lot!! Happy hour specials are awesome too! Great addition to downtown Bethel. read more
