We went to Brannigans to use gift certificates that our son's purchased for us. Low and behold, Brannigans is CLOSED! What a shock. We've been there many times, but not recently. Reading the last review I see that they have been changing hands and doing poorly for their customers. We called the restaurant and a message said they were closed. There was a hand scrawled note on the door saying that 'closed until further notice'. T That's a shame for our sons who bought the gift certificates for us. I feel bad and wonder if the money they paid is lost now. I'm writing a letter in hopes that I get a response from them, but I'm not holding my breath.

they were so hard that the onion inside was crisp.10 mins later my wifes burger came. It was cooked well but was horribly bland, the cheese was bland as if cheap, but edible with salt pepper and lots of ketchup, my ribs were extremely burnt on ends and underside, they were tough,and over-smoked.The sauce on them could not be called bbq it tasted like kerosine with catchup and minced onion bits. I was left wondering , if it was a reheated rib, the waitress felt so bad but this was not her fault, thanks for ruining my 19th anniverssary, i am 38 and not some fickle senior, this is appauling and i wouldnt feed my dog from this establishment. Funny thing is i have only been a chef for 19+ yrs and Kitchen Mgr. for major chains non fast food. And i would understand this if it were the middle of a rush but we were,The Only Table in the place. Your Staff besides the Waitress who was just the deliverence system , she did her job, maybe not her sidework, but as far as service ,she did.... You ruined a 19th yr Anniversary... which meant nothing to you i know, and your staff showed it, besides the waitress... Dubluv4life@yahoo Pros: set in the corner of a hill overlookin the highway so u can make a fast withdrawal Cons: the best ribs in the state---never!!!!!! get a dishwasher first, thats the first issue.....

Brannigans is a nice resteraunt in Southington and serve very good ribs. My dad and my sister have gone there more than I have and they have never been disapointed.

I've been here many times over the past 10 years. We found out that they switched owners for a second time this year. The menu is still the same limited sports bar menu that the previous owners had. The menu is suppose to change shortly, from what we were told. We ate in the bar but noticed they are trying to make the restaurant more of a fine dinning atmosphere. They have lines and cloth napkins which is nice. If they change the restaurant's name and update the menu they will be heading in the right direction. Our food took a little while to come out but we had a really good/nice waiter (Jeff I think). He was friend and fast to refill our drinks. He was running around like a mad man. He was good but wasn't getting help from anyone. I like that we didn't have to wait to be greeted, get drinks, or the bill. Overall good restaurant (in the making), very good service, but come back in 3 or 4 months when things should be better. Pros: Place needs cleaning, need more dishes/meals, need to change the name Cons: Very good service, fantastic ribs

On a lazy Saturday afternoon we made our way to Brannigan's it was closed for a while but has reopened so that I figured I would give the new ownership a try . I am not a rib lover and found it hard to imagine that I would like anything on their menu but my friend convinced me to try the ribs he said they were delicious and worth the trip . They were beyond anything I could ever imagine the blend of sauces , the medley of ingredients they used made the ribs taste succulent , juicy , superb in taste . I would go back there again and again

They were the best ribs i have ever had and my wife loved her pulled pork sandwich. This was our second time dining here and i must say the service was much better than when they first opened. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. The atmosphere on the patio was great with the view of the sunset in the distance. I got to meet the owner Steve and he was great, he spent a few minute with us even though they were a little busy. Always nice to see the owner present watching over things. I will definitely come back especially for the couches and the football package this fall.

This place stinks. The bartender there was rude with no manners the entire time I was there. He acted like he was doing me a favor by being there and ended up messing up on my order. The manager there was nice and fixed everything, but then I just found out they double charged me on my credit card (because they took off food for messing up my order) after I told them to be careful. Not cool and you shouldn't have go through such a hassel just to get some ribs and a few drinks. Booo this place!

This restaurant is now under new ownership after being closed for 3 months. The outdoor Patio rocks and the happy hour specials are killer. I went for dinner and had the ribs and WOW! Best ribs Ive ever had. Wednesday nights is 50 cent drafts and Friday and Saturday nights are HALF PRICE appetizers. The whole restaurant has been cleaned up and the outdoor patio was excellent.
