Reviews for Wood-n-Tap - Vernon in Hamden, CT
We were in the area and decided to stop by. We were sat immediately and while the hostess and waiter were friendly the service... was slow. Our food was Luke warm and not hot what so ever so it was sitting out a while before it was brought out. Chickentenders over cooked. Otherwise our drinks were good and food tasted good only if it was hot and not luke warm. Read more
Cool place for tappy aka happy hour drinks & apps!
I only went here once and I wish I could go back. I went with my family and we were full and happy when we left. The food there... is really good, I had nine cheeseburgers and a thing of fries. The meat was high quality that my neighbor, a chef, couldn't stoptalking about it. They were the best cheeseburgers I've ever had in my entire life though. They had a lot of flavor, tenderness,and juice that they melted into my mouth. The chefs didn't even add much to the meat at all, so it tasted naturally good withoutextra spice/flavorings. The servers were nice and they even gave a special desert recipe to my neighbor when she asked. Read more
I decided to order online, show up early, and check out the restaurant. It was for 7:30pm, so I arrived at 7:10pm. As I was... parking I noticed a lot of parking spaces for curbside pick-up, along with it's own side entrance. Very impressive. As I walkedinside of the restaurant I was greeted by a friendly hostess who already had my prepaid receipt available to sign. I was offeredto sit at the bar while I wait for my order. I explained that I was doing a Google review and she was okay with my taking somephotos to post. The decor is very nice, the atmosphere is calming, and the guest all seemed pleased with their meals. All greatsigns in a restaurant. My food reached my hands at 7:23pm. Quickness is great, unless errors are made. I ordered a bacon burgermedium well and a hickory burger medium. With a few minutes drive to my destination I considered carryover cooking. To mydelight the temperatures were perfect. I definitely tip my hat to the cook. I bit into the hickory burger and immediatelynoticed the dry taste of brioche buns. There was no bbq sauce on my sandwich. Everyone who is educated in culinary arts know asauce makes a meal. Only took away 1 star instead of 2 because everything else was on point. I haven't decided yet if I'd returnback to the restaurant. If you want to give them a try they're a minute away off Route 15 (Merritt Parkway) Exit 60 on DixwellAve. Read more
Great restaurant overall! The food and drinks are delicious. The atmosphere is very lively and always a nice place to hang out... and grab a bite to eat. The chicken nachos are the best! The staff is very nice and welcoming. The restaurant has both in doorand outdoor seating. The outdoor seating has umbrellas and heat lamps. Read more

Last minute choice for dinner Thursday night after running some errands in the area. The dining area is a bit worn and... definitely loud. Thankfully, as two booths cleared out the noise went down a bit. I am gluten-free and was glad to see they hadquite a few options. Overall the food was good. The brownie dessert was a great way to close the meal. 3-stars may seem low butthis place comes off more like a diner with a huge bar rather than a restaurant. Also, I think something I ate had glutenbecause I went through a migraine reaction that kicked off immediately the next morning. I can only assume it was in something Iate so can't be sure except that there is no way I can take a chance again. First and last time visit. Read more
Had not been to this location before, although I'm a fan of the franchise. Could not have been better. Server pleasant and... attentive, food out quick and was fantastic. Done exactly as we'd asked. The best part was our waiter was quick to clear thetable and get us a check so we could be on our way (lunch time and still a lot to do that day). I will make it a picture to comeback to the Hamden location whenever I'm nearby. Great experience and worth the drive Read more
