Black Rock Tavern & Restaurant 78 Main Street, Thomaston, CT 06787

"I hardly never write reviews but this was my 1st time going here. We were celebrating my birthday and we had such a great experience. The food was so delicious. The prices were decent. The waitress was friendly. The inside was clean and nice looking. We would definitely recommend trying and we will be back. We had chicken and waffles and onion rings."

"Amazing first experience at this restaurant. Loved the wings - crispy yet juicy, sauces were phenomenal, blue cheese was chunky and good. We also had bbq ribs, Mac and cheese, steak, and truffle fries. Great service. Highly recommend"

"We came for a meal before a play at the Thomaston Opera House. It was a Saturday night and we had made reservations for two at 5pm. When we checked in it wasn't busy so we had figured that we really didn't need reservations, but within 15 minutes of arriving, we were really happy that we had made reservations as the restaurant really began to fill up. (later at the play, we recognized a bunch of restaurant patrons were at Black Rock too.). We had a recommendation to eat at Black Rock and that was super spot-on! We started with Calimari and General Tso Sprouts. Both were very flavorful; highly recommended. We had leftover Calimari to take home! We both got tacos: one chicken and one was shrimp. Both were awesome. The chicken was spicy, only order if you love a little burn...nice burn!! We had wine and a local beer. No dessert because we didn't want to be stuffed and sleepy during the Play. We later stopped back and had a drink at the bar. Definitely a local bar where everyone knows everyone. We felt welcomed. Service in restaurant and the bar was fast and friendly."

"I liked it. Tough for me to rate. I hate to give the 3 but there are so many better places that I give 4 so I was stuck. Ordered the NY strip on the black rock. It was good and fun. I have been to the black rock in Vermont several times and I think that one is better. This place is a little dive-bar-ish. The wait staff is very nice and prompt. They kept our beer glasses full. The noise from the bar was pretty loud. I would still come back and am planning to in the next week. The dessert was awesome."

"First time here. Seated quickly, service was prompt and attentive. Food came out hot and looked good. Nice tasting beef tacos. And the Mac & cheese was very creamy and cheesy. Very pleasant experience."
