Prime Pub

Reviewed By santonez

Went on rainy cold Saturday night and figured would be packed. Pretty dead at 8:30 so I was concerned. A friend told me food was good. They did not answer the phone (straight to voicemail) several times that I called before we left - wanted to make sure it wasn't too busy. Anyway, waitress said "You're right, the phone hasn't rung!" Too bad really since I do hope they stay in business!! This place was recently a boring Italian restaurant. They have made many good changes. I would expect most in the area would find this a nice corner pub and upscale brewpub type of place to frequent. Calamari was very good. Burgers and salads also very good. Meat temperature perfect. They got our specific requests all correct. Wines, etc were reasonably priced. I would encourage management to trim down the nightly specials from 7 options to 3 - keep things fresh and streamlined. I really do hope this pub stays in business. The front windows that open completely for nice weather will be amazing during warm weather!

There are many reasons to visit Black Angus but one of the best is the bar staff. Jim, and if you're lucky Kylie, provide intuitive warm service that make it special. We, as many others continue to visit despite numerous other options nearby.

New to the area, I took my lil' sis to dinner at this place because it looked like a decent place. We sat outside (summery August evening) and had to wait 15 minutes for our waitress to come around and take drink orders (she only had one other table and we watched and the couple from that table sent food back to the kitchen). Feeling a little uneasy, we decided to hang in there and give the place a chance. When the waitress (Laura B) took our order, the place mats she put down in front of us when she brought out our drinks had food on it and my set of silverware was dirty. Not a stellar start to the evening. I decided on soup and salad because it's hard to go wrong with that fare. WRONG. My soup was cold and my lil' sis' steak chili dip with nachos on the side came with only a few nachos. We asked the waitress to heat my soup up and bring us more nachos. Soup came out the same and she never did bring the nachos. My sister then had mac-n-cheese which tasted off (sour) and my garden salad came (which was pretty good), but there were never any refills of our drinks (per our request after we finished our apps), which remained empty. After that, we didn't see our waitress again until after I asked another waitress to bring our check. No wonder why the couple from the other table left in a foul mood. Needless to say, this is not a place I would recommend.

Like the above reviews, it was a nightmare. I figured Chef’s did not show up. Had reservations but waited another hour. Waited almost one hour 45 minuets for the food. Tough to do with 4 kids with us. Also, they ran out of numerous things.I was disappointed as i heard it was a good restaurant at a different time.

This was a return visit with our grandkids. Once again all I can say is they have the best burgers in the area. Yes, it is a sports bar, but it is really appropriate for any age patron. Both grandkids had wings and said they we great. We will go back when in the area again. The menu is varied and there is a great beer selection. Parking is plentiful. Service is always great.Thank you so much for the kind words! We hope to see you again soon!

Figs Wood Fired Bistro

Reviewed By VickiH630

Best French Fries I have had in a long time. Crispy, full, not oily. Had them with the Newtown Sandwich, both delicious. Stopped by for lunch, service was slow, but I already knew that. My hot water for the tea, served in a glass, was warm, but I did drink it. When she came by I told her about the water temp. and she brought me another hot cup of water and a new tea bag. She did not charge me for a 2nd cup. I would return, food was good, atmosphere very nice.

Red Rooster Pub

Reviewed By Lorna W

Had lunch of fish and chips. $17.99. Fish was very fresh and well cooked. The french fries were excellent. They cole slaw was disappointing. Would have liked a luncheon menu in additon to the dinner menu. It was not busy when we visited, but the waitress was extremely hurried. Tried to take a plate before we were finished eating... rushed leaving the check and credit slip. We asked if she was anxious for us to leave.

Farmhouse

Reviewed By davidrS8786RH

The farmhouse restaurant has evolved over the past several years into without a doubt the best all-around restaurant in Newtown. The variety of food that is served is of the highest quality and the dishes offered are prepared exceedingly well. The management is hands-on and very in tune with its customers. They serve an excellent brunch and lunch as well. Our family eats regularly and I am more and more impressed with it each and every time we visit.

After reading the reviews and checking out the menu I was really looking forward to visiting this restaurant. For starters they took care of us right away, we had a reservation and there was no delay in seating us. They provided some home made ranch potato chips which were really good before we got our meals. Four our entrees we ordered the Inside out Burger, the Duck dip and the Butcher’s cut. My son enjoyed his burger and the duck dip was very tasty and full of flavor. My entree was the Butcher’s cut (more like the Butcher’s scraps)now with a name like that you are probably guessing you will get a decent sized portion but to my astonishment it was about 5 small pieces of beef with a couple of fingerling potatoes. For a minute I thought I got the children’s portion it was tiny. For the price of the entree I would have thought it would have been a bigger portion. In addition to this when our meals were served they spilled a drink on the table which forced my gf’s entree to have to be sent back. I thought they would come back and at least offer to get us a drink to make up for the mistake but absolutely nothing. If you find yourself here stay away from the Butcher’s cut unless you want to stop somewhere else to get a bite to eat.
