Fabulous Food, Generous Drinks, Reasonable Prices

How's that for a headline? It should draw anyone in, correct? Well, it already does. I'm talking about The Little Pub, at the corner of Rtes. 7 and 102 in Ridgefield. Inside the stucco-and-beam exterior is a warm, friendly restaurant and bar. There is also a large terrace for outdoor dining, insulated in winter and open in the summer.It's a very popular restaurant, any day of the week, and one taste of the food will tell you why.

The meals are universally terrific, and the prices are reasonable enough that you can take the whole family out for dinner there. A LOT of people I know go for the big, juicy burgers with fabulous crisp fries (and equally delicious sweet potato fries). I'm not a burger person, so my favorites so far are either the chicken quesadilla with wonderful cilantro-lime sour cream, the crab cakes with remoulade, thai-curry, and garlic aioli sauces (both of these are small plates, but plenty enough food for me for dinner), or the springtime turkey wrap with avocado, tomatoes, jack cheese, bacon, and apricot-orange marmalade. There is also an interesting Specials menu from which I've had several good entrees.

Last night, I had the crab cakes, my husband and a friend both had the steakhouse bacon and cheeseburgers with caramelized onions and steakhouse mayo (one had coleslaw, the other had sweet potato fries), and our other friend had the french onion burger with the sweet potato fries. They're all pictured here.

One of our party had a ginger beer called Crabbies Ginger Beer, which he pronounced excellent! I had a glass of very good, light pinot grigio, and the other couple had sodas.

I have yet to sample from the tempting dessert menu, but plan on doing that really soon!

One extra nice note: the staff of this restaurant is so gracious and accommodating, they really make dinner there a happy occasion.
