The B-Day boy chose this place for his dinner. First time here and he was so happy he did. It was a weekday so the place was quiet meaning we got all the attention, lol. We were told to be patient with the service because the food its made to order which we were ok because it was a good time to enjoy the family with appetizers . Toni was very nice and with a good sense of humor, seemed she knows her customers well, we hope to become regulars as well. The food was fantastic, good portions and HOT that for me was a huge plus +. Overall EXCELLENT read more

At the recommendation of our server, I had the Louisiana Party Pasta. A spicy Cajun dish of chicken, andouille sausage,red peppers, broccoli and penne pasta in a bold Cajun sauce that is very unique and memorable. My wife had the chicken and waffles that were presented very well but not memorable. They have a cozy dining room an a really nice bar. Just be patient as the kitchen cooks entrees to order! 4.5 stars! read more

Recently saw that Relish 670 is now open for breakfast/brunch Thursday-Sunday so my daughter and I decided to check it out for our Sunday brunch. We were greeted warmly and told to sit wherever as there weren't many people there when we arrived. They were playing great Ole Skool R&B music which was pleasing and appealed to a multicultural crowd. I ordered the Build Your Own Omelette and my daughter ordered the Double Up. To drink, we ordered Traditional Mimosas. The omelette and Double Up were good. However, the home fries were burnt and inedible. Also, the toast wasn't buttery and there was more orange juice than Prosecco/Champagne in the mimosas. We realize they were only on their second week of breakfast service when we visited so will definitely give them a second chance. read more

We stopped in for happy hour and ended up eating dinner. The bartender Judy, was very friendly, helpful, and attentive! I ordered the fried catfish and pork bellies which were delicious and not greasy at all. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich and he enjoyed it very much. The owner came over and introduced himself. Very pleasant and welcoming. It was Taco Tuesday $2 and $5 Margaritas! You can't beat that price! Next time.... Judy mentioned that they will be having a couple of musicians playing this Sunday! You won't be disappointed! read more

Solid southern menu with a decent amount of options. Employees are great and a nice "local" vibe, and keno ! Worth a try read more

This was my first time here. I met up with a friend so we could watch a band play. We decided to do a small pizza as an appetizer.. which they're small is the size of a medium. we ordered the lasagna pizza. The pizza was delicious. We ordered chicken sandwiches. The chicken sandwiches were really good as well.. I had onion rings with mine, and my friend had french fries. We ordered so much food. We definitely had leftovers for both of us. I liked the atmosphere and the decor. read more

The catfish po boy was dry you could tell the sauce had been sitting on top for awhile. Inside smelled like stale beer and was not lighted well. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating, which is the reason it is getting a second star. Nobody at the table enjoyed their food, most items were extremely over salted and could not finish the meals. The loaded mashed potato side was more like a cheese dip. read more

Relish 670 - Catfish Po Boy - New American Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

The southern menu was certainly a draw for me, but ultimately fell short of a few fronts. The bartender that waited on us was very kind but also very inexperienced. You could tell by the layout that the entire operation was inexperienced. We ordered burnt ends, which were not burnt ends but crispy pork belly. They were hardly sauced, which was a shame bc the sauce was quite good. The chicken and waffles was below average and the shrimp Po boy was decent. The food took longer than expected to be delivered to the table for how quiet they were. I ordered the peach cobbler to-go in hopes that a good dessert might leave me with a final good note. It was quite the opposite. I don't know what that was but it was a poor excuse for a peach cobbler and was the final straw that lead me to writing this review. They have a long way to go if they plan on surviving long term. read more

Food and drinks were great! A different type of menu with options. The ambiance was good, as it was a modern style bar and restaurant. The service was slow when we went there as there appeared to be only one server. Took about an hour from placing order to get the food. Even with the slow service I highly recommend for the food. read more

This was my second time eating here. I sat at the bar both times. Food has been amazing. The first time I had the catfish nuggets and jambalaya. Today I had the catfish po' boy. I'm loving having a Cajun place in Middletown. The bar tenders have always been very pleasant and attentive and Ive been pleasantly surprised by their mixed drinks (they have an amazing special expresso martini). It is very clean and vibrant place that is kinda suitable for any occasion (stopping in for a quick bite, casual date, family and friend gathering etc...). read more

Relish 670 - New American Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

I placed my first order with Relish 670 Bar on March 7, 2024. I placed an order for pickup and was told it would take 45 minutes for my food to be ready. I arrived 30 minutes later and to my surprise my order was ready. My food had been sitting waiting for pickup because the food was barely warm. Why was i told 45 minutes? When I looked at my food upon arriving home I was not a happy customer. As you can see from the pictures my food was burnt!!! Is this the quality of food a customer receives when an order is placed for pick up? I also ordered the fried chicken sandwich and it has no flavor. I don't usually say "never", but I will "never" support this establishment again!! If someone brings up this establishment it will not be recommended by me. read more

I was so looking forward to trying this place after reading the reviews online. When we got there, there were three other tables occupied. One was just finishing up their meal and the other two had just gotten there. The place was very cute. Our server/bartender was very attentive. She was the only one serving tables and bartending too. There were two people in the kitchen. It took forever to get our food. We ordered the pork burnt ends appetizer. They were extremely fatty and devoid of flavor. We didn't say anything, we figured we'd wait until our meal came and see if that was any better. I ordered the whole belly fried clams and my boyfriend ordered the teriyaki salmon and sticky rice bowl. The dinner came with brussels sprouts, which he asked to be eliminated. It took an hour before we even received our food. When they placed my clams in front of me, I knew immediately it was not going to be good. There was a handful of clams that were in a clump, all stuck together and hard as a rock. I couldn't even stick my fork into them. My boyfriends food came, and it had collard greens on the plate, which wasn't even supposed to come with with his meal. So he scraped the collard greens off his plate and onto another plate. No sooner did he do this the server came back and said, oh no, that's not your meal, here's your meal. The outside of his salmon was extremely hard as well. We then noticed that the server took the meal that wasn't his, and brought it back to the kitchen, only to have the cook, put another helping of collard greens on it, and deliver it to the gentleman at the table behind us! Now I'm pretty sure that this is a health code violation! Once a plate leaves the kitchen, and is set in front of a diner, regardless of whether it is touched or not, it is not allowed to be re-served to someone else at a different table! It is to be thrown away, and a new one made. But that wasn't the case it went into the kitchen and came back a minute later to the table behind us. Later we heard that gentleman say to the server that the collard greens were extremely salty. It was such a disappointment, especially because the menu has some pretty amazing items on it, but they're just not executed well by the kitchen staff. Our server was lovely and couldn't have been more apologetic. I hope they can work out these kinks, because I think it has the potential to be a really good place, if the food is prepared properly. read more

Stopped in for an impromptu lunch. The food was great, the server was attentive and the chef came over personally to talk to us. It was an overall good experience. They also have a great liquor selection for those who are looking for something different. read more

Took 40 minutes for mozzarella sticks and 3 street tacos with only 3 tables being served. The bartender was handling all orders/drinks at the tables and bar. The manager should have been helping, instead was moving empty tables and walking around. Our sticks were under the heat lamp for 10 minutes. Manager blamed the bartender, which if he did HIS job properly there wouldn't have been this negative review. We would have ordered more, but it took way to long for sticks from Sams Club to make it to our table. Tacos were very good, but could have been served a little hotter. Manager/manager position needs to be reviewed, duties need to be explained to him. read more

Went for a quick bite to eat with my fiancé and friend. This place was very cute inside, loved the ambiance. Judy the server had a wonderful personality and was a lot of fun. I have very bad luck when ordering medium rare burgers (always come out well done) so I was thrilled that my burger was perfect! The fig and onion relish totally made the meal pop! The sweet and savory together was mouth watering! My fiancé got the cat fish po-boy. It was over flowing with fried catfish and flavor was phenomenal. Excited to go back again soon! read more

Went in on a Sunday at 3pm. The restaurant was almost empty. We sat at the bar We were asked for a drink order 10 minutes after sitting down. We ordered an app and waited 45 minutes before realizing we had to be leaving. We never received the app. The bartender disappeared. We went to the ATM and left cash for the drinks. read more

We had a fabulous meal! Hands down the best wings I've ever had! The food and the service was excellent! I live about 40 minutes away from Relish and I will make the drive again! It was definitely worth the trip. The menu is so unique. The fried pickles were delicious! The staff including the chef came out with a birthday cake and sang me happy birthday! What a great way to celebrate my birthday! What a great way to celebrate my birthday!I will definitely be back! Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner! read more

I had a chicken sandwich. The breast barely had enough flavor. The chicken was chewy. The fries were really good. There were little knats annoying me the whole meal. My friend had some salmon over rice. The rice looked mushy to me. Doubt I'll return to this place. The server was very nice though. read more

Tried take out last night and I was worried how fried food would stand up after the car ride home but it was excellent-- crispy and hot still when we got home! We thoroughly enjoyed the fried pickles, hush puppies, catfish nuggets, Brussels sprouts salad, and of course, the PB&J wings. My bf devoured them. We also tried the honey chipotle and onion/fig relishes which were both great and go well with cheese and crackers the next day. My absolute favorite of all though was the pecan bread pudding, just WOW. If you are being very covid-cautious right now, I would just note that the space is a bit small and was busy. This makes me so happy for them as a new business but I will probably just do takeout until the population is vaccinated. Can't wait to order again! read more

Heard about the Pecan PB & jelly wings and had to try immediately. So glad we did. The wings were amazing, the cheese grits fries were even better and everything we got for our takeout order was delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was awesome both over the phone and when I came in to pick it up. Looked like a fun vibe inside and we're looking forward to coming in for a meal and a drink in the future. read more

Tried this restaurant tonight and we were very impressed. We had the fried pickles to start and they were very tasty. They came out piping hot with a flavorful creole dipping sauce. Then I got the pulled pork pizza and my partner got the Southern bbq burger. The pizza was heavenly - just the right amount of bbq and pork for me. Service was great, wish we had room for dessert. Also it felt like a locals place - very homey vibe. The chef checked in twice- prob bc I did not eat a lot but my appetite is not what it once was. read more

I came back to try them again and they did a fantastic job. I had the sausage and pepper with onion grinder. Their fried pickles and the sauce that comes with them are incredible! Will definitely be back for sure! read more

Had a fabulous lunch at RELISH today. I tried the pulled pork tacos and peanut and jelly wings.. yep crazy good.

A hidden gem in Middletown. Love the southern influenced dishes like the shrimp and grits! A small but hard working team makes you want to keep coming back! read more

Tried because of good reviews. Waited on take out for an hour (kids in car) in an almost empty restaurant before leaving with no food. Open kitchen. Good to see it was clean. Bad to see nearly everything was coming out the freezer - pickles, wings, fries, mozz sticks etc. Worse to witness incompetent kitchen staff bicker, yell and demean the waitstaff. I like rolling the dice on new places. My wife, not so much. Needless to say, I'll be reliving this one for a while. read more

This is some of the best food in all of the town of Middletown I had a great burger with some of the best relish

Not sure where the good reviewers usually go for dinner. This was not good. Seared salmon had a coating and the salmon was very thin. Looked frozen. When I could remove the coating the salmon was edible. Mashed potatoes were supposed to come with the meal. But they were out. So I had cole slaw. Which was edible. Tasted like sauerkraut that was white. Best part of the meal was the greens were asparagus. And that was delicious. I ate all of it. My friend had shrimp and grits. There was so much grits it was overwhelming. Shrimp were frozen precooked not even frozen raw. . Not worth the money. Didn't bring bread until we asked for it. Waitress was pleasant. Place is nice. We'll go back for a drink at the bar. And go have dinner somewhere else. read more
