The building may be small but it's the perfect size for a busy kitchen and small front area to pick up great take-out food. Wow....can they put out some amazing down home southern food. They're all very friendly and welcoming and once again....man can they cook. I had the chopped BBQ, candied yams, collard greens, and cornbread. The chopped BBQ is spicy and vinegary. It didn't even need barbeque sauce, but you can get that as well. The candied yams had a spice that I couldn't figure out but it was addictive. I just wanted more. Collard greens were excellent. Cornbread was moist and tender. My wife wasn't that hungry so she ordered the Mac & Cheese. Warm, comforting, and cheesy. She loved it. My cornbread was so good that she ended up eating most of it. Couldn't ask for much more than that. Next time we order I'm going to try the Smothered Pork Chops.

The place is tiny and in a residential neighborhood, so if you blink, you'll miss it! The meal satisfied the craving (the fried whiting and collard greens were Banging!)

I prefer them over hoodoo browns and bears smokehouse any damn day of the week. I first discovered them through a food truck when my dad and I went to the new england brewery and tried their burgers! We've been eating there since. They have your typical barbecue cuisine but every once in awhile they have great specials! I go here every Sunday before I head to the roller rink. Service is friendly, Cozy vibes. It doesnt feel like you're in dumpy waterbury. It's hard to choose a favorite, and Ive yet to find something I didnt like! Their catering is also great. The brisket is tender and their turkey is amazing and I hate turkey! 4 stars however, because of the tall prices. The somewhat small portions do not justify it unless its catering. Because of the recent water main breaks, thomaston ave is closed so you would have to park at the plaza around the corner and then walk which can be bothersome. I hope that can be resolved soon. This place could be the beginning of what could bring waterbury back to the brass city it once was! Dont miss it!

Really good fresh fried seafood in a non-coastline city!…read more First I'm not really sure how to describe Paul's. It's not a food truck but its too big to be a food cart. Food trailer? Is that even a thing? Well whatever it is, there is no denying that the seafood is fresh. I was impressed as I watched the owner cleaning the shrimp that he was about to cook! Everything is done fresh, so be prepared for a little wait if there are others ahead of you. No patience, well call ahead! Problem solved. Lol. As far as taste, it was good but could have used a little dash of salt to bring out more of the seafood's flavor. Gotta love the taste if fresh seafood! The only con was the Styrofoam container. It captured the steam from the freshly cooked food and turned the crispy fried seafood soft. So let the steam out and don't let it sit too long! Definitely plan to go back and try more. It is a small menu, which gives attention to each item, and that is why the food is done so well!

We weren't impressed with this restaurant. We were pretty bummed.

The chicken parm was pretty good we also had the chicken rollatini it was ok. The service I have to say I was pretty quick. The one thing I will say I got a soda and the server came back and asked if I would like another and I said sure and then we were charged again for soda. they do not have free refills so that night for two sodas was $8. I was very surprised. Normally at restaurants I have noticed that if they don't have free refills, they tell you before you order the second one or if they offer to get you another one. It does have a nice bar area that's kind of blocked out from the rest of the restaurant.

The service was quick and attentive, which we really appreciated during a workday. The menu offers a wide variety of options, which can feel a little overwhelming at first, but it also means there's something for everyone. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I'll definitely be back; especially since it's just 10 minutes from the office!

This time, however, the dish was noticeably sour -- not tangy, but unpleasantly acidic to the point I couldn't finish it. A cream-based dish should not taste like this. Something was clearly off in the preparation. What was more disappointing was the response. The staff acknowledged the issue but only offered 50% off instead of remaking or removing the dish. When a customer cannot eat a dish due to a quality problem, I would expect it to be corrected, not partially charged. I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I returned specifically for this dish based on a good prior experience, so this was very disappointing.
