Black Rabbit

Excellent lunch stop! The food was great and service was quick and friendly. We had the Hot Honey Feta Spread, the Stella Spice, and a Patty Melt — everything came out fresh and tasty. Nice atmosphere and perfect for a casual meal. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

We found this great little hideaway on our way to NY and we’re so happy we returned 2 days later! Make sure to try the clam chowder or better yet go on Sunday for brunch! The owner is usually there and goes out of her way to make sure great food is served creatively, hot and in good sized portions. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️

Fantastic meal. Tomato basil bisque was outrageous. Mulled hot cider outstanding and hit the spot on a cold day. My husband’s salad was enormous and delicious. The lobster grilled cheese to die for. Friendly, attentive service. A must go…

Started off with the calamari, which was heavily battered but the calamari was tender and they had a lemony tarter sauce to dip it in. I had an everything burger which was charred grilled and delicious with sweet potato fries, and my wife had the quiche with a garden salad that she enjoyed immensely.we went back a second time and I had the tempura shrimp appetizer. I had the Ruben sandwich with sweet potato wafer fries and my wife had a small Caesar salad with salmon. She said it was a little dry and we finished lunch with cheesecake and my wife had the Keylime pie, which were a little dry. They were both served with fresh made whipped cream.

Great dinner! We didn’t have reservations, but pulled in at 6:15 on a Saturday evening and got a hi-top table and excellent service. The kids menu portion was huge and comes with a scoop of ice cream. The sweet potato waffle fries were delicious. We had excellent vegetarian options - cauliflower buddha bowl and black bean burger. The watermelon gazpacho and chicken wings as well as the chocolate chip peanut butter cookie sundae were also great! And we had excellent service.

We had a fabulous birthday lunch celebration for 20 people in July . Our server was so patient and helpful. We couldn't ask for better service! Having a full menu to choose from, everyone found a meal they desired and there were only smiles and high praise for feedback. All of us fit in a separate seating section so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Thank you Kendra and staff for a wonderful time.

Good food, wonderful seasonal menu, and a nice setting. Ate outside on the patio. They had a quiche with ramps in it! The beer list was small, but a nice regional selection. Food was delivered quickly and was very tasty. Would definitely stop by for a meal again.

What a quaint little spot! If you are in the area, I highly recommend it. We sat outside under the awning, and it was perfect. We enjoyed watching the birds and bees popping in and out of all the beautiful landscaping! The food was great, and the staff was super sweet and attentive. Go enjoy!

Holy Rabbit Rabbit. What a find and a joy in the area of Lakeville CT. The atmosphere and the venue was so intimate and clean. The bar service & servers plus cooks made this expertise in this area. Delicious, relaxing and a place to return. Bravo!!!!!

The food was delicious! My father was born and raised in Lakeville. His grandfather was the town barber years ago. We were in Poughkeepsie for my cousins wedding so we went down memory lane with my dad. We come here every time (which isn't too often) we are in town and it never disappoints! The service was great! Super friendly, clean, and peaceful! We sat outside and enjoy the beautiful day while eating and talking! Make sure to get the French onion soup!

Stopped here with my wife, for an unplanned dinner. It was around 6:00, and they were quite busy. We were greeted and put on a wait list. It's not a particularly large place, and they do take reservations (which we didn't have) so we waited and were seated at one of the two high-top tables next to the bar. It was a small table, but we made it work. Our server was delightful and helpful. We started with soups - I had the French onion soup and my wife had the clam chowder (chowda) - both were delicious, although I felt mine could have been a a bit hotter. For entrees, my wife had the NY Strip steak with mashed potatoes and I had the Buddha Burger, both were excellent and cooked to our preferences. Their menu prices are listed as "cash discount" price, so there is an uncharge for credit card use.

This is one of my favorite spots in Northwestern CT! Every dish I've had here is absolutely amazing! Kendra the owner is fantastic and shout out to Krystal and Mary who are both very friendly and accommodating! Everyone is leaving here with a big smile on their face! Truly a joyful experience!

What a hidden gem! My husband, 12 yr old son and I stopped by Black Rabbit Bar & Grille for an early dinner after seeing a game at Salisbury School . Wow. The food was AMAZING; not at all your typical pub-quality faire. We had the largest, crispiest, most property-cooked buffalo wings I have ever enjoyed. The split pea soup was almost gourmet with an exquisite flavor and texture. My husband's 1/2 pound cheeseburger was cooked to perfection and my son's fish & chips looked and tasted like the ones he liked in Ireland (an ongoing quest we've had.). My arugula salad was beautiful in presentation, hearty and seasoned perfectly to my taste. The portions were large enough that we all brought home a little something for later. I look forward to coming back here.

Our family is visiting the area and wanted a late afternoon meal. We especially wanted to accommodate our vegetarian daughters. The Black Rabbit's menu looked promising. It more than satisfied! Others had the mushroom ravioli, the corn & salmon chowder. I had the Ramen & cabbage salad, with salmon added. So, so delicious! Everyone enjoyed their meals. (They also enjoyed watching cute animal videos on a screen behind me, but my salad took priority. )

8 of us ate at the Black Rabbit last night June 8th, from the incredibly friendly greeting, and the outrageously good food, (everything from NY strip steak to brick oven chicken to salmon and fish & chips and the best key lime pie) we had a wonderful evening. Thank you Kendra and staff for making our evening so special! Visitors were from Charlotte NC and a typical comment was, "I can't get steak as tender as this at home".

My husband and I spent a lovely afternoon here enjoying a perfect sunny day on the patio with a lovely lunch and a few beverages. We came on a Sunday so we're able to enjoy some of their great brunch options. My husband is hiking the AT which comes very near the town and he had already put in 10 miles so keep that in mind when you see how much two people ordered . We started with the Hot Local Onion Dip, delicious and I am totally going to try to replicate! The Local Tomato Burrata Salad was also very good and had amazingly sweet and juicy melons. I had the Local Foraged Chanterelle Frittata, which was so rich and delicious! You could totally taste the Brie cheese and I was very thankful for the fresh fruit served with it to cut the richness of the lovely local eggs, Brie and mushrooms. My husband had the lobster roll that was so full of lovely chunks of lobster! I would love to enjoy that meal and day anytime.

Stopped here for lunch randomly with my mom and it was fantastic! Our waitress was awesome, made great recommendations, and the food was delicious- especially the burger and even the salad was to die for! It was on the quiet side but we were in that weird late for lunch early for dinner time of day.

Nice menu with several New England favourites..... thick clam chowder with fat clams. Chips are house made and served warm, yum. Bar was quite nice. Cozy

Very good! We're in the area for a wedding and didn't even think about needing reservations for dinner. However we were able to get in with a last minute reservation. The whole staff was very nice and welcoming and the food delicious!! We got the beet spinach salad with seared salmon and fish and chips. Everything was delicious and came out quickly!!

This place lucks out in a limited area. It was busy, good ambiance. The food was average. When the bill came the cheese and herb quiche special was 20. and the specialty burger was 19. Crazy.

Have eaten here a few times. Sometimes it's been good and other times not as good. Good beer and ale list. Mainly pub food with nothing unique. Burgers and fries (including yummy sweet potato fries). Clam chowder was tasty. Unfortunately their speciality, Brussel sprout chips were soggy and a bit greasy so I felt let down. I would at some point go back again for a brew and a side of sweet potato fries , but not-so much for a main course.

I got the BLTC with sweet potato fries and my boyfriend got the fish and chips. Our waitress was so pleasant and all of the staff was very responsive. Initially my sandwich came without the cucumber on it, but once I mentioned it they quickly brought me out some to add. The sandwich was so amazing and the ranch sauce on it was really good. The sweet potato fries were some of the best my boyfriend and I have had ever. His fish and chips came with two huge portions of fish and a bunch of hand cut chips. The fish wasn't greasy or overly breaded and it was an amazing value. The chips were delicious and we brought most of them home to eat later on in the night. Overall the prices were really reasonable for the high quality of food you are getting. The staff was friendly and there were appropriate social distancing and safety measures in place. We will definitely be back!

I guess food standards and expectations are low in Lakeville. Almost black burnt fries. A grill Cheese sandwich without melted cheese. Sad bad food. I give it 0. Hard to believe a server would deliver black burnt fries to a customer.

I have known Kendra and her staff for years. When I got engaged three years ago the first person I thought of to cater our reception was The Black Rabbit. Not only did she make all my dreams come true with how everything looked and tasted her staff went above and beyond accommodating gluten free options for some of my guests and making sure they were informed about it also. Our wedding was absolutely gorgeous and every guest raved about the food and how well it all looked! Thank you again Kendra and employees for making our day special and stress free!

Had the chance to visit on Saturday, as my son played football against Salisbury School....Wow, was I pleasantly surprised. This place would do great anywhere....The service was awesome...Food was fresh and plenty...price was fair. After the 3 hour trip from Boston, we had to be quick to get to the game. I had a hamburger with fries. The burger bun was incredible...fresh and perfect size. My daughter had a caesar salad, which she said was one of the best she has had. I wish they were closer to Boston! Great place to visit, but I don't think I will be back around that way, anytime soon!

Our 1st time at the Black Rabbit and we had a pleasant experience. We dined inside. Our server was polite and attentive and the food was very good. The only negative was how very chilly it was inside the restaurant. I personally prefer cool to hot, but if you can practically see your breath, that's a bit to cold.

I have been dying to go to the Black Rabbit for years, admittedly because I like the name. My anticipation was not for naught. A late afternoon lunch found the restaurant pretty quiet with only a few tables filled, so we had immediate seating and plenty of attention from our server for ordering and menus. The interior was very clean, very polished, perhaps just a little dark. The food was amazing. I could live off the Brussel sprout chips. They were crispy without being burnt, and the cheese on the top was the perfect compliment. My brie, avocado and turkey melt was nice and warm with a good balance of ingredients across the bread. In other words, there was no bite that just had bread. Finally, I love homemade potato chips, and these were very well done. Across three plates of chips, it was a rare occurrence to find one that was slightly under cooked. I am looking forward to going back!

These are trying times for all, especially the restaurant industry. We stopped in late on a Wednesday afternoon for a take out order. We got two orders of the short ribs and two orders of wings. The staff was very accommodating, friendly and helpful. They prepared a fresh pot of coffee for us to sip on the outside deck while we waited. We drove an hour plus home and reheated our entrees. We had the ribs. Super tasty, wonderful barbecue sauce and home made slaw. My cousin had the wings at her place and said they were delicious as well. We will certainly return in the future during better times. Very nice ambiance as well.

Truffle Potato Chips -5 star. The herb aioli is crazy good w them Wings- skip. 1 star for tender chicken. Skin mushy n soft. Buffalo sauce underwhelming The Everything Burger 5 star The Buddha Burger 5 star (Pictured) Waitstaff- 5 star. Prob the most soft spoken waitress in the place but she was very cordial

We happened on this restaurant and had a great lunch. Pleasantly surprised by how accommodating the menu was for celiac. Waitstaff was lovely and the salads and sandwiches we had were terrific all around.

We've been here about 10 times now. Consistently high quality and good service. I had the Monte Christo on a waffle today - fantastic! There are several unique and creative offerings here.

RIP my taste buds. I did not enjoy this place at all. The ambiance was fairly decent but we were seated on a table that was just wiped down and it smelled of chemicals and that was not pleasant. The calamari we ordered was dry and unappetizing. My salmon burger had so much wasabi, my head was about to explode. The salmon was overcooked. My partner got the coconut curry salad but soon realized the absence of the coconut curry and the advertised crispy veggies that didn't have any crispy nor veggies (unless moist peppers count). If the "coconut curry" part was just meant to mean coconut oil then they could have named the dish differently. The salad in itself was average, the mango slices its saving grace. We also got mixed greens instead of kale since they had run out. It was overall a sad meal. The servers and ambience were nice overall, just wish the meal was better.

Always a great spot. Here from Florida till November so this is always my spot. Just finished eating, shrimp, homemade chips, general Tso's chicken wings. Again food was delicious & the service even better! Had the gelato for dessert, was also good! If you ever get a chance to try the mac-n-cheese when they make it! Nuff Said!!

Loved eating here. Sunny outdoor seating really elevated the experience. I got the Black Rabbit Lobster Roll on gluten free toast and sweet potato fries with garlic aioli. YUM. The menu was surprisingly allergy friendly. According to my boyfriend the fried Cauliflower was to die for.

Awesome little place to go after hiking Lion's Head. They know how to make a damn good Monte Cristo! I'd pass on the Bloody Mary, though. Service was good, they accommodated our party with separate checks, which is always a plus. If you don't live in the area it's worth the trip to check it out as the drive there is gorgeous.

The BRB&G is like Cheers of Lakeville and Sharon. The food is always good and the staff is great. No one makes a better martini than Corey (plus he's a Mets fan!!!). Go there. You'll love it!

If it's romance that you want or maybe just to catch the football game with the boys, I got a good place for you! The black rabbit as it's Evolution proceeds keeps getting better and better! Great dishes and good service! One of the best restaurants in the local area especially if you don't have enough money for the boathouse!

Attended the annual Bloody Mary contest for the third time. They hold the event annually on the weekend before the Super Bowl. The wait staff / bartenders are outstanding! Put it on your calendar for next year.

My husband and I were thrilled with the food and the service, including special attention to our little dog, Calvin, to whom they brought water even though we hadn't requested it. We ate on the patio, ordering the dry rub burger for myself, prepared exactly as requested - medium rare. It was delish. My husband had the fried chicken sandwich, which he said was tasty and satisfying. If we meander up toward Lakeville again, we'll be sure to come back!

The Fish & Chips is so tasty! I can't wait to come back to town & visit once COVID settles down. Great management, always a pleasure!

Great food. Our waitress was fantastic. We liked the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it and go back again!

My husband, daughter and I dined her after a day of fishing on the lake and so glad we did. It was hard to choose what I wanted for an entree. Had the Brussels sprouts and French onion for an appetizer and the spicy noodle bowl for entree. I can't wait go back and try other dishes. Our waitress and service was great!

My husband and I live in south western CT and love to meander throughout Litchfield County, particularly in the fall season. It's so picturesque and colorful. We found (through Yelp) the Black Rabbit Bar & Grille and arrived around 4 pm on a Saturday in October. We headed to the bar area and were greeted by a really super nice guy bartender. He cleaned the bar for us and wiped it dry, which I really appreciated. He gave us menus to look over and asked what we'd like to drink - which was water at that moment. No problem! We asked about the brussels sprout chips and he described them perfectly, which we ordered and they were plentiful and delicious. I would love that recipe!! (Hint to owner there). We also ordered a New York Strip to share, with no starch, double veg. No problem there either. We asked for it to be med-rare and it came out medium to well, which was disappointing, but we ate it without complaint, which is the only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars. We enjoyed a local who was friendly with us and quite interesting to chat with. All in all, a very cozy, friendly place. We'll probably return.

The service was sad, not crowded at all but yet took 10mins to get noticed waiting at the door to get seated. Our waitress was playing the role of a librarian, doing a whispering voice, so we could not understand a word she said as she took her sweet time to POINT at our table. Ordered soup for appetizer and it was extremely salty and was tart in taste (New England clam chowder), so we had it send it back (which is something I really avoid and hate doing). This place usually provides a bread basket, which of course we had to ask for from a different waitress while waiting for our waitress that was busy attending other guest which had just sat down and already had drinks. The diner we ordered was poor in presentation and didn't taste any better than it looked. We didn't finish our food, because we were just feed up with the poor service and food quality. Won't be returning.

Mediocre at best. I came here on a recommendation and wow, was I disappointed. It started with my cocktail l. Poorly made with no attention to detail oof cafe taken. Entre was bland and flavorless. The menu was uninteresting wwith absolutely nothing that caught my attention or spoke kF any cafe whatsoever. Won't be back.

A wide variety of great local beers on tap. Many vegetarian options, which is actually quite rare in Lakeville. Definitely get the fried brussel sprouts - generous portion and perfectly salty. I will have to come back and try the kale salad.

Good food drinks reasonable great watering hole with reasonable prices. Good place to meet locals. Owner is a sweetheart. Friday is happy hour 3-6 I believe. Great snacks and company. If you like burgers medium, order medium well as they come out a little under what I like for a burger. Can't be too careful these days!

Black Rabbit was a lot more polished and clean than I thought it was going to be. Had a very nice upscale feel to it, and very inviting lighting in the evening as it grew dark outside. Ordered two cocktails from the bar, old fashioned and pink martini were great. Beer choices were also great. Food was also very tasty. Everything burger hold the BBQ sauce with onion rings was perfectly cooked, and pizza with fig and goat cheese was also very flavorful. Had a very nice experience here, and would rank this place up to 4.5 stars.

Great little spot- ask the only place open after 9 in the area it would seem. Bartender was very friendly and nice. Enjoyed the beers and I didn't eat but friends who did said the food was very good.

Black rabbit is a great place to get a beer and a tap room style meal (with a little extra class). It's typical Salisbury and caters to a crowed that expects a little more. We stopped in for lunch and everyone had a great meal, service was fast, and they are super kid friendly (special cups for the little ones and everything). My turkey club with avocado was great, Fanstastic Reuben (my grandfather says it's the best he ever had), nice burgers and salads. Easy to switch up sides if you want to. Bar scene is relaxed but upscale filled with locals usually. Will definitely be back

The Caesar Salad is my favorite Salad anywhere! The dressing is to DIE FOR!! Obsessed is an understatement.

Ok. I liked the coziness and feel of the place. Very inviting. The menu definitely made it hard to choose. We started off with the duck legs (4), with sweet chili. Very good. I had to go with The Harvest. It sounded so interesting. Sweet potatoes, roasted garlic R, Brussel sprouts, cheddar cheese. It needed something to bring out the flavors. Maybe nutmeg? Something. For dinner fish and chips of course.(17.95) but a large portion. Delicious, period. We ordered the ghost burger. Onions rings, BBQ sauce, ghost pepper cheese, burger on a brioche bun. (13.95). Very good. Perfectly cooked. Just a nice heat. Nothing overpowering. Real nice heat. We also got the Ham, cabbage, apple panini on marble rye. Apple pearled well with the ham. (10.95) came with a side, or up charge for salad, which was a good size. Over all good food. The service however was scattered. Our waitress was over worked. Maybe they were short staffed? Maybe they didn't expect this kind of crowd on the day after Thanksgiving? But overall it was good.

This is a small, cozy pub/grill with decent food and an adequate, if uninspired, selection of brews and spirits/cocktails. Their smoked vodka martini offers a bit of a twist on a classic cocktail. We started with their brussel sprout chips, basically deep fried sprouts with some shaved cheese - ours came out a little lukewarm but were tasty. My wife had a fairly bland veggie burger but the ribs I ordered were excellent - dry rubbed and served with a healthy dollop of tangy sauce, and accompanied by some decent slaw and some unremarkable onion rings. I'd recommend avoiding the two high tops in the bar area as they're excessively narrow. All told, it's not the sort of place we'd go out of our way to return to but there was enough going on that we'd stop in again if in the area.

Amazing food and service. Lobster Rolls, wings, fried brussels, and sweet potato fries!

Great food! Try the brussel sprouts for sure as an appetizer and the fish and chips are awesome.

As of writing this review, there are a bunch of filtered reviews, and a couple reviews by users who are basically unconnected to anybody. Perhaps this is sabotage, or anti-sabotage. If my theory is even somewhat correct, it's disappointing at how slapdash their collective efforts were. Anyway! Northwest Connecticut is not a professional football mecca. There are fans of the New York teams, and fans of the Patriots. But from the little i can tell, people mostly watch at home. Or not at all. But they're not going to their local sports bar, which doesn't really seem to exist. Instead, I got to watch Red Zone Channel, because it was my best option. The food was basically bar food. A little overpriced for what it was, but acceptable. I appreciated the fact that they had local bourbon, which was nice. The vibe was lacking I suppose, though it did have the requisite "guy on his laptop, obsessively checking fantasy scores" that seems to exist at a lot of places, even in the time of smart phones.

I've been to Black Rabbit about a half dozen times. I find it to be inconsistent. Sometimes it is very good and other times, not so good. Recently was very disappointed with their Lobster Roll. Paid $25 for the dish and it was a big disappointment. Lobster was plentiful, but lacked flavor causing me to wonder if it was previously frozen (not fresh). Plus there was too much liquid and the roll became soggy. On the positive side, the place has very nice atmosphere and the service is friendly and quick. The burgers are good, but avoid the lobster roll.
