I've lived around the Danbury area my whole life but never visited Pippas so I went with a friend last week and my first impression was that it was a 'relaxed low-key atmosphere' which is what I was looking for since I do like sport bars. Food was so-so. A minor complaint that I had was the happy hour price promoted ($3.00 drafts) didn't match what I was charged ($5.00) but I didn't bother saying anything. My biggest complaint didn't come until today when I looked at my bank statement. Being in the service industry for 6+ years, I'm familiar with tip falsification and I make a point to always remember the exact total + tip I left and what the new total is. I don't go overboard with this but I distinctly remember how much I left last week and was charged $4 over the amount. They gave themselves a $10.00 tip on a $27.12 bill which I know I wouldn't leave that much, or calculate the math wrong, without it being a place I regularly visit. I won't waste my time ratting anyone out or complaining to the owner as it's such a minor amount, but the fact that the staff did this (esp. for only a $4 increase) makes me question their honesty and sets a bad reputation.
Needless to say, I won't be going back.
Restaurant had so much potential. It looked like an excellent sports bar with TVs everywhere. The experience was very poor. Service was slow, and the food was average. A bug crawled out of my plate...very disgusting. I told the waitress but she did not seem to care, telling me that she can't control what bugs come into her restaurant. Then after asking for a split check, the waitress charged both of us triple the total amount due. She took a while to sort out the issue. The experience was disappointing. I do not recommend this place. Try another one.
Review Source:25 TVs in one room A-M-A-Z-I-N-G You can watch and keep up with every game! The food is always delicious and the staff is absolutely amazing, kind and ready to make your meal the best. Some say that a bar atmosphere is very crowded, dirty and not the best place to have a good meal. Wrong! It's clean, it's not too loud and it's really good food!
