★★★★☆ 4.0 Ashley Perez · Mar 2026

he Crooked Goat Kitchen & Bar has more of a local dive-bar feel than a modern restaurant. The food was decent, but nothing particularly memorable or extraordinary. The customer service was good and the staff were friendly, which definitely helped the overall experience. That said, the space feels a bit outdated and could probably use some remodeling or refreshing to improve the atmosphere. Overall, it was a decent experience, but not somewhere that really stood out.

My husband and I came here for an daytime date while we had the day off and our son was at school. It was the absolute perfect place! The cocktails were absolutely perfect and the food was excellent. The only person working,Kate, nailed it. It got kind of busy and she was able to handle the bar and dining area efficiently and graciously. Can't wait to come back!

Looking for something new & was not disappointed! CG is a hidden gem in the East Rock area! Vibe was great, staff was friendly & the food was great! Their collard greens were excellent! Beers were a bit warm for my taste, but still good. Whaler's Muse beer was surprisingly delicious.

I only put in a to-go order so I can't really speak to the indoor experience but it was dark and a bar - stinky noisy crowded I'm talking dive bar. There was a separate area to eat. Curtains to disguise or separate areas. Advertised as Southern comfort food, I didn't find it Southern or providing any specific comfort. I got a kid's meal with a french fry and a cheeseburger that they forgot to put the cheese on. French fries were not crispy at all. Refused to wait 10-15 minutes before putting the order in despite the fact that I told her I was coming from about 16-25 minutes away. She evidently put it in immediately and I imagine it was ready 15 minutes before I arrived-the items were not hot except the chili. The homemade chili as a side was the best thing on the menu- too much chili powd

Crooked goat is honestly some of the best brunch food I’ve ever had. The fried chicken with sausage gravy over a biscuit was unreal. Keri was perfect. Just a great place all together. Perfect for an early breakfast on Sunday, or just happy hour and a quick eat. 10/10 not even close. Loved it!!!
