Widow Brown's Cafe

"If I could give zero, I would. We had lunch here and one of the staff members dropped a plate of hot chili on my 1.5 year old daughter’s head. Luckily, she was not burned but their plates are very heavy and my daughter was very upset, to the point of hyperventilation. The staff member did not apologize, but instead ran away and never returned to our table. They ended up taking $7 off our bill. Our waitress said she was only AUTHORIZED to take the cheapest thing off the bill. This person who “authorized” the refund didn’t even come over to our table. I didn’t end up eating my meal because I was sick to my stomach and had to hold my crying child for the rest of our stay. What a disgrace! I will never return. EDIT TO UPDATE: I never do this, but after the owner’s reply, I want to expand on my original review. I never said any chili got on her. The reason I mentioned chili is because it was in a very heavy crock. The plate and crock slid and hit my daughter in the head. BY THE OWNER. I was trying to comfort my crying child, while the staff member/owner said nothing. My mother who was at the table with us said “that was stupid” [of her to hold a plate of hot food over a child’s head]. There was no yelling. It could have been a lot worse and we were fortunate it was not. I was a waitress once before and I have made mistakes, too, but the difference between me and this OWNER, is that I apologized. She hurt a child and ran and hid like a coward. And then made the decision that her mistake was not worth an apology; only $7. Her response to my review speaks volumes of her character and I am utterly disgusted."

"I was in the area, and I had a bacon cheese burger and fries, a beer, and for dessert a hot apple crisp a la mode. The food was served hot with no wait. The server was friendly and made sure everything was ok! "I'll be back"!!!"

"The food is delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable. The service is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. There is a wide variety of food to choose from, including classic American dishes, seafood, and vegetarian options. There is a full bar with a great selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. Widow Brown's hosts live music and trivia nights, making it a great place to go for a night out. If you're looking for a delicious and affordable meal in Danbury, I highly recommend Widow Brown's Cafe."

"One of our favorite places! Local landmark. Friendly staff. Trivial on Tuesday nights, fyi. We love the salads, chicken fingers, chili, selection of beers on tap, and the chocolate peanut butter pie!"

"I have been here twice for lunch.. Philly cheese steak and Pastrami with cheese(Rachel) and both were delicious. The portions are generous. The prices were reasonable and the service was good. Will come back for dinner some time and then update my review."
