    Classic Rhino Burger
    Hannah S.

    Great atmosphere. Great service. We walked in on a Friday night and had no problem getting a table. The wings were crispy and delicious. The burger was cooked to perfection & full of flavor. My husband enjoyed his steak & cheese. We'll definitely be back!

    Cacio e Pepe wings

    I was planning a last minute, first ever, trip to legendary CT Wing Spot @blindrhinobar in Bridgeport. I used to chance orders when visiting new-to-me spots. Not anymore. Now, I leverage the expertise of the CT Foodie Community. So I reached out to the @wingaddicts for recommendations. The Wing is a Blank Canvas indeed. #iykyk . As luck would have it, they were traveling together from a Wing Visit and they sent me a group Voice Memo before I pulled into the Blind Rhino Parking Lot. They unanimously recommended Cherry Pepper Buffalo and Cacio e Pepe. I ordered 5 for $5 of each from the Happy Hour Menu. The Wing Addicts otherwise, each had their own favorites, and I went with Lemon Pepper Ranch. All of these wings were very good, but one is a new a CT favorite. Hold that thought. The wings themselves were meaty. Had very good inside and outside texture. The blue cheese and ranch were both good. Back to the sauce. The Cacio e Pepe sauce was amazing. So good, I prefer Blind Rhino's sauce to the vast majority of Italian restaurants where I've had Cacio e Pepe pasta. Not a joke. It was creamy, cheesy, peppery and a bit lemony. All the flavors in perfect balance. Amazing. The other sauces were very good and well executed. They tasted like they sound. The atmosphere was fun. There is both inside and outside seating. People talked to each other. Service was effecient and friendly. I keep an unofficial Top Tier Wing spot in CT List. Only about a handful of spots are presently there. I've only been to Blind Rhino once. But it's presumptive Top Tier based on this visit. Five Stars

    We came here for the wings, which are great, with plenty of flavors to choose from, as well as the portion of Cajun fries. We chose the Jamie's hot honey, Cajun dry rub, plumb sriracha, honey buffalo & smoked chile dry rub. The choice of flavors with the wings is definitely a winner. The atmosphere, and service however are a bit bland. We will be back, but it may be for pick up.

    Went yesterday with my wife to watch some Sunday football, feel very bad for the manager as I felt she was doing her all to make our experience great. But the server we had, walked by our table 6/7 times, never offered a refill, burger we got looked terrible (see photo), and messed up my wife's drunk each time to where we had to go to the bar to fix every time. Enjoyed the event they had going on with modelo, but the service can use some Assistance!

    I came here because i seen an Instagram video of the wings and they did not dissapoint. The wings were cooked perfectly, with the right amount of sauce. The cajin fries was definitely a great pairing. Service was good as well. Itnwas crowded and loud because the games were on but that did not pose an issue.

    Steak fajita wrap w/ Cajun fries.

    Came here for lunch and drinks! For drinks I had a Moscow mule, which was good. We also did a pickle back shot, the pickle juice was sweet which I didn't like. For lunch, I ordered the steak fajita wrap. I think the steak may have been some kind of steak-um meat, atleast that's how it tasted to me. Also needed more seasoning. It was ok, nothing special. I ordered Cajun fries and wow did they put alot of seasoning on the fries. Definitely overwhelming. The service was ok, our server got lost a few times, and it wasn't that busy. It's a sports bar so this is a nice spot for maybe apps and drinks!

    6 Wings - Peach Guava Hot Honey

    First of all, can we talk about the logo and the name? The Blind Rhino? That's such a cool name, and I love the Rhino logo! I am fortunate enough that this place is in my neighborhood, and I can just walk over there. I've gotten food from them twice now. This recent one was just for me, carry-out. The packaging was fantastic. Napkin, fork, knife and a wet napkin for wings. Nothing moved or fell out of place on my walk home. I ordered a bunch of things: Fried Pickle Chips - those are simple, but Black Rhino's ones are the best ones I've had. Cheese Steak Eggrolls - second time getting these, and they are amazing! Flavorful and delicious! 6 wings with Peach Guava Hot Honey finish - tried a new flavor this time, and really liked it. Shepard's Pie Empanadas - I ordered these out of curiosity. Two empanadas came on the bed of mashed potatoes. The empanada by itself was delicious, but honestly mashed potatoes were wasted on me. Definitely will be back, my goal is to try all of the wings flavors.

    I would like to share a recent experience at Colony. My family and I (party of 5) sat and ordered…read morepizza. 4/5 pizzas arrived as expected and were excellent. The 5th pizza did not come out with the others. After several minutes we were able to ask our waitress about it. She went to check, and clearly a mistake was made as time ticked on. A manager came over and apologized profusely and took the pizza off the bill without being asked to. The pizza came out soon after and was hot and delicious. I am very appreciative of this excellent level of service. We will be back. Often.

    This was a really wonderful, if simple, experience. Colony Grill had been on my radar for years. I…read morelove spicy food, so their hot oil pizza has been recommended to me a few times. Finally a close friend, who grew up in CT and now lives out of state, said it was one of the things she missed most. So I finally had to go. She also knows that I have a lot of dietary needs and although I like many styles of pizza, super thin bar style crust works a lot better/is more accessible for me. Really thankful to have that option. I was in the area, so I placed an online to go order for just a hot oil pie. When I walked in, I loved how open and spacious it was. The pickup counter was clearly marked, and I was greeted warmly by multiple people. I was even offered plates and napkins, which was great since I wanted to try it fresh in the car. It was an especially pleasant and smooth pickup experience. Really impressed. As for the pizza, I loved it. Just the right amount of oil so that it wasn't unpleasantly or excessively greasy. The spice was a great touch. I enjoyed the ratios, from the thin crust to cheese to sauce. It was a delicious pizza and one I could order a lot more often than most other pizzas. I can't wait for them to open one closer to me. 2 are planned! I thought the price point was great, too. Under $15 with tax. It is the size of a larger small/medium pie, on par with most Neapolitan style ones, and with how thin it is I'm sure it's a personal size for someone with a large appetite. But that's not me! So this was a 5 star experience for me. Really impressed, and I look forward to future visits!

    What a great spot for a fun night out! The menu is extensive, with everything from appetizers and…read moreburgers to build-your-own personal pizzas and salads. The pizza with peppers, onions, and fried chicken was a standout. The fried cauliflower was surprisingly delicious (and that's coming from someone who normally isn't a fan). The cheese fries, made with beer cheese, were flavorful, and the fried mozzarella bites are a must if you're in the mood for something classic. The burger was okay. It came out a bit dry, and I wasn't asked how I wanted it cooked. The bun also wasn't toasted, which would have made a big difference. One of the coolest parts about this place is the setup. There are multiple rooms, including a main dining area with a live band at night, an indoor patio with a big screen for games, and even a separate dance room with a DJ. They also offer $50 flash tattoos and have a tarot reader on certain weekends, which adds a really unique touch to the overall experience.

    We've been curious to visit Elicit for years and finally went to kick off our Memorial Day weekend…read more It was a little confusing when we first walked in since no one was at the host stand and it wasn't clear if we needed to wait to be seated, but we figured it out. Ordered a couple of the hot dog specials, a smash burger, wings, and pretzel sticks. The hot dogs, while creative, seemed to be a bit overcooked, possibly boiled and then left in a warmer for too long? The hot dogs themselves were a little discolored and more bland than we were expecting, and the pizza dough seemed a bit too large to serve as a bun for one special. Everything else was good for food, especially the smash burger and fries. My husband enjoyed his beers, and we thought the vibe was great. Appreciated the many different seating areas, and I'd love to sit in the beer garden with the train going by. Definitely a nice spot to watch the game or hang with friends.
