HEARD AT THE BAR

Excellent
4.6
Food is great. Beer is great. Service (Tess) was great. Shishito pepper nearly killed my daughter but cookies (and Tess) saved the day! She is just so kind and really made the whole experience!
We ordered a number of different items, and they were all delicious. The wings were the best I’ve had in years. We will be coming back again ASAP.
Surfridge Hosted our wedding party and they were AWESOME. Exceeded all expectations for sure. Great communication, very flexible, great staff, delicious food and just an all-around great experience. Thank you Surfridge!
A nice family-friendly restaurant! The food and drinks were delicious. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is perfect and close to fun attractions. We will definitely visit again.
Surfridge is a great brewery! The food and staff are amazing. My family came here after the Essex Pirate Train ride. The flights were great and the owner came by several times to check on how we were doing. Highly recommend and they open at noon on Saturday and Sunday!
I was not expecting the level of service or food that I received. This place was a little bit more bougie than the places I like to eat at. I've had many experiences where the better the place looked, the worse the food tasted. Surprisingly, even with such a beautiful atmosphere, my group was served delicious food.It was a simplistic fare but it was done really well. They make a lot of their sauces In-House. For example, my son had a Caesar salad and he was raving about the dressing they created. I had meatballs with toasted bread and it was definitely the most delicious thing I've had in a while. I've been to many places where they do not season their food, but this restaurant seasoned everything to perfection. Our group was so happy with our food that we were sharing with each other so everyone could experience how good our dish tasted!I never had a mocktail before, but their mango fizz was the real deal. Other people in my group had their alcoholic beverages and they were very happy with them as well.The cherry on top was the service we received. Our waitress was very nice and she stopped by at appropriate times to check in.I live an hour and a half away from this place, we were visiting the Essex Steam Train when we decided to eat here. We didn't have the best day due to traffic, missing our train and the hot weather but this restaurant made our day. I will be coming back because I was thoroughly impressed. That's hard for people to do so please excuse my long review! I'm sorry about the lack of pictures but I was enjoying my food too much to take a picture 😂
Great locationGood beerFriendly staff
So happy we stopped here during our weekday getaway to Essex, CT. Food, beer and entertainment were great! We had the Charcuterie board, Caesar salad, pepperoni pizza and mushroom pizza. Kids enjoyed the wings and pizza from kids menu. I was happy to see they had a beer flight so I could sample my favorites.
