We've been taking an annual trip to Mystic with our kids for several years now. Dog Watch has been our first stop every year and it never disappoints! Great food, great drinks, great people. Thanks again! See you next year!Is this helpful?

This IS the place for the most delicious, fall-of-the bone ribs you'll ever have! Who would believe it's not officially a "smoke-house" yet this must be their specialty...among other things. Lobster rolls are enormous and oh so yummy! Sides are equally as good, e.g., onion rings & cole slaw. Can't wait to return and also try their sister restaurant, "Dog Watch Cafe" in Stonington.Is this helpful?
