Maria V's Bar and Restaurant 194 Leavenworth Road, Shelton, CT 06484

"LITERALLY THE SLEEPING GIANT OF SHELTON. The greatest burger and wings of ALL TIME. Karaoke an added PLUS - like a succulent condiment on crisp Hummer’s WEINER. The sweet, snip crasp of a classic dawg. Don’t deny this excellence"

"It's a dive for sure - typical beers on tap, and decent looking food. There was a band playing, which was cool, but there were people actively vaping and smoking in the building, which was odd. It doesn't seem as if they are used to having a lot of people there, as they had reserved seating in the back (a sign said for staff, but I'm fairly confident a bar that size doesn't even have as many employees as were back there, and if they did, I highly doubt they'd be smoking indoors)."

"I thoroughly enjoyed coming here! Very friendly staff, the owner & her son are often working, and they have a great team working hard to please your dining/drinking experience. The menu has lots of great appetizers, I recommend the house-made fried mozzarella, it's the large triangles with a very good marinara sauce. My friend ordered the sea bass, and loved it. Lots of Portuguese specialties too! We saw an excellent live band while there, and it was a nice place to catch a show. Plenty of parking and easy to find. Well worth a visit!"

"Fun local pub. Clean & lively. Friendly staff. Full bar. Periodic entertainment. BEST wings around! Try the dry-rub! Yes, they have more than wings... they're just my favorite."

"Maria is a wonderful owner! They are very careful with social distancing and wearing masks. Its a neighborhood restaurant with very friendly people. I love their chicken Caesar salad!"
