Today was my initial visit to The Blind Rhino As I walked in, my first impression of the whole experience was how spacious it was? I was greeted by one of the female staff members, who welcomed me to sit wherever I wanted to? The bar was gigantic wrapping around the center of the house. Small and large parties of guests will not have a problem finding a place to sit? Flatscreen televisions are every which way your head can turn and I can't wait to watch the NFL here during this new upcoming season? Oddly enough, I wasn't terribly hungry so I just ordered a bucket of beer, a Caesar Salad and 6 Dry Rub Old Bay Traditional Wings. read more

We had a great time at The Blind Rhino with a big group of 5 adults and 6 kids! The staff was incredibly accommodating--when a couple of our guests got cold inside, they graciously moved our entire large group to the outdoor seating area without any hesitation. The food was absolutely fantastic. The wings lived up to the hype, and the Philly steak egg rolls were a massive hit with everyone. It can be tough to find a spot that keeps a big group of kids entertained, but they had a blast watching the TVs and playing indoor foosball. Great food, excellent service, and a fun environment for the whole family. We will definitely be back! Food was 9/10 on the sports bar level Service was 10/10. One constructive piece of feedback: the Philly cheesesteak sandwich was a little too pricey for what you actually get. read more

I was there last night on 10/31. Completely sober having a grand ol time dancing to good music until....the 'security' team got big and tough. Side note: food was awful. They were filming me and my fellow female cousin all night then when the costume contest came along they let some dude come up to the front and shove me then makes me go first to allow less cheer for me to be voted. Rigged. Finally, I went to go get my car I hear him yelling at his son to 'listen to adults' and 10 min later as I pull up front, he is screaming at my crew. Figuring out what went wrong I realize that they were blaming a glass breaking on us when it was a drunk girl who set it down on the dance floor. Their 'security' team didnt provide any security and were just creepy, rude, and aggressive. We aren't his children but he's old enough to be our parent. DONT GO OUT HERE! read more

Great staff, good drinks, and amazing wings. We were in Connecticut for a business trip and we were craving for some wings and everybody kept talking about The Blind Rhino. They did not disappoint. They definitely worth the price and getting them during happy hour is just a bonus. read more

I was visiting from out of state with a group of friends when two women approached us and began making unprovoked comments. When I simply told one of them to walk away from our group, she slapped me across the face. The bouncers initially handled the situation quickly and removed both women. While my group was shaken up and waiting for an Uber, we watched as one of the bouncers LET THE SAME TWO WOMEN BACK INSIDE. They immediately approached us AGAIN, throwing punches and pushing members of our group. Thankfully, a different bouncer stepped in and removed them for a second time. When we questioned why these women were allowed back inside after physically assaulting us, the same bouncer who let them back in became extremely aggressive. He called me a "bitch" and "white girl," yelled degrading insults, and followed us out into the street in front of a crowd. He even threatened someone in our group, saying he "would squash him and fuck him up." We were physically attacked TWICE, yet somehow WE were treated like the problem. I have never experienced such unprofessional and threatening behavior from someone whose job is supposed to keep customers safe. Management seriously needs to review the security footage and address this employee's behavior. What should have been a fun night turned into an absolutely terrifying experience. I would NEVER recommend this bar. read more

Got to check out the new BR in Milford. We went at 5pm on a Friday and place was hopping. They had some great HH specials like $5 for 5 wings, $7 burger and some drink specials and other food items. I decided to get the cherry pepper buffalo wings and the happy hour burger which was like a Big Mac smash burger. The sauce on the wings was SO delicious. Perfect! Only thing is I wished the wings were more crispy but maybe it's just an opening kink to work out. Burger was great too and service attentive. Looking forward to trying the other wing flavors! read more

Blind Rhino Milford: A Sports Fan's Dream Come True! For anyone on the hunt for the perfect venue to watch a game in Milford, the newly opened Blind Rhino at 21 Daniel St. is an absolute must-visit! This lively spot has taken over the former Eli's Tavern, and the excitement surrounding it is palpable. Earlier in the day, while strolling with our dog, we couldn't help but notice the buzz about Blind Rhino. After completing our invigorating 3-mile walk, we hurried home, eager to dive into this new sports haven. Upon entering, we were immediately enveloped by the vibrant atmosphere--crowded, loud, and filled with the irresistible aroma of wings and spirited conversations. If you're a devoted New York Knicks or Pittsburgh Steelers fan, this place is basically a new home away from home! With TVs strategically positioned throughout the restaurant and a mean a lot of TV's , you can catch every thrilling moment of the game, whether it's a jaw-dropping slam dunk or a nail-biting last-minute touchdown. Now, a word about parking--while it can be a bit of a challenge in Milford, those willing to take a short stroll from the town center will find themselves at this sports paradise in no time, likely faster than a Steelers linebacker can sack a quarterback. And being right across from the Stonebridge, a Milford staple. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that they were running a happy hour special--$5 beers and ciders! And discounted appetizers. In the spirit of supporting local businesses, I chose a Tribus Benjie, which paired perfectly with our meal. To kick things off, we ordered a round of dry rub chicken wings that were spicier than a Knicks fan's reaction to a missed call. These wings were not only tender but also bursting with flavor, setting a high bar for the rest of our dining experience. Now, let's talk about my main course--the Cheese Steak. This delectable sandwich was piled high with thinly-sliced ribeye, sweet Vidalia onions, and a generous portion of new American cheese ( as they posted on the menu ) . It was so good that I almost forgot I was in Connecticut and not at a bustling eatery in Philadelphia! My dining companion opted for the Lomo wrap, which was a delightful mix of grilled ribeye, sautéed red onions, and tomatoes, all wrapped up with fries and drizzled with a zesty cilantro sauce. Who knew fries could be so revolutionary? Both sandwiches came accompanied by homemade fries that were perfectly crispy and delightfully salty. A special shoutout goes to our server, Ashley, who was as cheerful as a Steelers fan celebrating a touchdown. Her friendly and attentive service truly enhanced our experience. Now, let's address the intriguing name of the establishment--Blind Rhino. We couldn't help but wonder if there's a fascinating story behind it. Is it a nod to the quirky side of sports culture, or perhaps a reference to an adventurous tale? Whatever the origin, it certainly piques curiosity and adds a unique charm to the place! In summary, if you're looking to escape the confines of your home, indulge in delectable pub grub, and cheer for your favorite sports teams, make your way to Blind Rhino! With no bad seats in sight and a lively atmosphere, you're in for a fantastic time. Let's go Knicks! Let's go Steelers! read more

chicken was raw!! entire meal should have been no charge . 2 meals ordered had raw chicken. I'm extremely disappointed how the staff and management handled the situation. read more

Came here for some impromptu apps on a Wednesday night and was surprised by how busy it was! Despite that the service was attentive and friendly. Our waiter made sure we had extra napkins (I ordered wings and my friend ordered nachos) and made an excellent recommendation for wing flavor (Honey Buffalo) which I wouldn't have thought to choose. The wings were tasty and filling and had the perfect balance of sweet and spice. My friend got the buffalo chaliflower, which was good though I think had the same sauce as my wings, which could be misleading to some looking for simple spice. The highlight was actually the nachos! My third companion is vegetarian so it was cool that they had the option to get meat free nachos. Even without the meat, they were tasty and they used real cheese as opposed to cheese sauce (though the chips were a bit burnt). I will come back to try with meat and other wing flavors! read more

I've been to Blind Rhino in Milford several times, and up until last night, I've usually had a great experience. The drinks are good, the staff is generally friendly, and of course, the darts are always a good time. Unfortunately, last night my guy and I had an extremely uncomfortable experience with a woman who I believe may have been the GM. We heard her name might be "Frankie," but I'm not completely certain. From the moment she became involved, her attitude and demeanor were incredibly rude and unprofessional. My guy was standing near the storage cooler while another employee had it open. The employee was simply getting something from the cooler and my guy joked with the employee about the blast of cold air coming out. We were only in that area because we were playing darts. The situation escalated when she began speaking loudly and aggressively about my guy to another employee, despite the fact that he had not caused a problem or been disrespectful to anyone. To make matters worse, she took the drink he was still drinking from the ATM. When he addressed her about it, instead of simply explaining why she had taken it, she essentially taunted him, saying, "Here, here, want your drink? Here you go!" in an extremely rude and condescending manner. What bothered me most was the unnecessary attitude and hostility. We had been enjoying ourselves and had not caused any issues, yet we were treated as though we had done something wrong simply for standing in an area near the cooler while playing darts. I've recommended Blind Rhino to friends before and have come here with different groups on several occasions. Unfortunately, after last night's experience, I'm not sure I'll be returning. Customer service and professionalism matter, and the way we were treated was completely unacceptable. We didn't even get to order our food we anticipated. If Blind Rhino in Milford is ever suggested to me in the future, I'll definitely be sharing my experience from last night. read more

Brilliant execution of a small menu. No entrees, apps and sandwiches done very well. Wings are excellent and if you go at happy hour, it's 5 wings for 5 bucks! TV game is very strong, great place to watch a game, highly recommend it. Large bear list and full bar, just a great local, casual place in Milford. Parking in downtown Milford can be tricky, but there are public parking garages and on street parking available. read more

I got food delivered from this restaurant by ubereats which i guess no longer lets you leave reviews. The steak and cheese I got with the order and the sweet potato tots I got were fantastic. Probably the best steak and cheese I have had in years. It was like the old school ones. Nobody seems to get it right anymore. Loved it read more
