Big Jim's Galley - Stratford

Decent happy hour. The servers were good, and so were the apps. I'll go back.

We enjoyed eating outdoors on a nice summer night. There was a bit of road noise and no view of the water but the music was nice and there is a choice between high top, regular and stools all outside.The staff was nice and attentive to the table. There was a bit of a mishap with my meal but they did the best they could to make it right. I only with they told me before my meal came out.I loved the salmon meal! The salmon was tender and juicy and the cream sauce with the veggie combo was the perfect pairing. I only with I got the rice that was listed. I did get to try the onion rings in place of the rice and they were so thick and nicely breaded. They were the best and biggest onion rings I have ever had!The New England clam chowder was more of a Manhattan style with its red sauce base but it was unique with good flavor.The portions except for the cheese pizza were large. The fish sandwich and the fish plate both had about the same large quantity of fish.The menu was large and had lots of options. It was a bit different than what was posted online but it looked like there were some nightly specials. I did really want to try the tacos. All in all, I would go back again just for the onion rings and salmon.Kid-friendliness: Not the most kid friendly menu but the brick oven pizza and onion rings made them very happy.

Great place for a quick dinner; has tasty menu options and outdoor seating. Bugs get a bit bitey if you sit outside in the summertime.

Perfect environment for solos and family. Great and friendly service.

Enjoyable. Friendly and great fish and chips. I'm English so I'm happy to give them 5
