      Exceptional service, delicious food and amazing drinks (and drink specials too!) Banc house is easily one of the best restaurants in Norwalk. The atmosphere is always a friendly and welcoming environment with the staff working their hardest to make their patrons feel right at home.

      The menu is very diverse offering options for just about everyone, fresh salads, comforting pasta dishes, wings, burgers, seafood, smoked meats just to name a few.... And that's even touching on their ever changing specials menus.

      Lastly the drinks. Perfectly balanced cocktails prepared by an incredibly knowledgeable bar staff. A rotating tap and bottled beer selection that offers everything you could possibly ask for. Daily drink specials round out this restaurant as the whole package. Definitely recommend giving Banc house a shot if you have not yet!

      Very pubish atmosphere in bar area (where we ate)
      Nice specials on food and drinks & a nice selection of beer and wines.
      Food was very good, service was very good.
      Although I've never eaten in dining area it looks very nice and comfortable!

      Great local restaurant/bar for friends to gather. Food is always outstanding, staff is friendly, efficient and knowledgable. I recommend Taco Tuesday and Tap takeovers, always a blast at the bar when there is something going on. Managers are always friendly and accommodating. Brunch is always a go to for me as well and they have some awesome options. If you are looking for a great spot to meet awesome people are relax, go down to Banc.

      Every time I go to Banc house I get amazing service from Graham, Line, Madison and Joe ! The ribs, burger bowl, veggie baguette are all amazing options and that is just 1 of 3 options. Highly recommend this location if you wanna hang for a good time, get a good bite or even meet new people. I've been most of my closest friends here in the last 5 years.

      The service was friendly and prompt. The restaurant has a bar/pub ambiance. They also
      have an extensive outdoor area. The portions are large and well priced. The rib sampler was good and large. The crab cake had a lot of crab meat with a little filler and has two generous side. The whole belly clams were fried well but seasonally smallish. The ice cream sandwiches were excellent.

      Let me start with saying I have had many good meal at Banc House. It's almost always packed and has a cheerful vibe. Good sports bar on one side with booths along the back and a dining room on the other side if you prefer something a little less noisy.

      The bbq meats are always good, fresh seafood, and plentiful apps and sides. Hard to not find something on the menu.

      I usually will go for pulled pork and ribs which I've always enjoyed. The lobster spoons are awesome. Crab cakes are solid. Overall the food is good.

      I was a little disappointed by the burger and fries recently. This carried over to the poutine. Fries were just not crispy, burger over cooked, and poutine was more like disco fries. That said, I would absolutely try the burgers and fries again, just next time I will ask for fries well done and emphasize to the wait staff medium rare burger. As for the poutine, it's probably the only item on the menu that I would suggest staying away from.
