Jeff WardJuly 25, 2015The entire menu, especially the Dirty Wings, the craft beer, wine and cocktail selection, Awesome service and large and rustic pub feel...One of the Must Do restaurants in CT!!!!Upvote7Downvote
Come for the dirt wings; stay for the craft beer and friendly bartenders. Plenty of great beer selections including a commitment to local, Connecticut breweries.

Bryan KellerDecember 23, 2019The wings here are legitimately the best I’ve had anywhere. Get them dirt style - they’re double fried, making the outside super crispy. Every other place that serves wings - take notes.Upvote2Downvote
Lou LangeOctober 6, 2019The mussels and the land and sea burger were delicious. Service was a bit slow because it was very crowded. Overall though, it was a great meal!UpvoteDownvote
Jennifer St.GermainJuly 29, 2013Best wings I've had in a while!! The "Dirt Style" wings are sauced, fried and sauced again. I got the buffalo and bleu cheese flavor.......DELICIOUS!Upvote4Downvote

Cheryl AJuly 20, 2013Crab wasn't fresh, requested new and very quickly received a new crab cob styled salad, (forget the name) that was amazing. So, they don't always have perfection, but quickly rectify and problems.Upvote3Downvote

Zach MaierNovember 23, 2012If you get the "dirt" wings, get them BBQ style. I love normal buffalo wings (and they're good here too), but there's something magical about the caramelized sweetness of double-fried BBQ sauce.Upvote3Downvote
Great historic spot, good food (get the Dirt Wings!) and expansive list of craft beers on tap.UpvoteDownvote
