Broken Symmetry — Restaurant in Bethel

So you're thinking of going here because of the awesome experience you had with their food truck? Oh you don't know about the food truck? We'll come back to that in a minute.

Broken Symmetry is just that, an uncommon marriage of a Mexican restaurant and a microbrew, but oh yes it works. There's no Dos Equis but who cares? There's 8 great home brews of all types listed on the board, so just order a flight if you're unsure what to get.

The food is awesome and very reasonably priced. The burritos are BIG and STUFFED with steak, pork, chorizo...whatever you want. Try the plantain chips and guacamole for an appetizer. It's not a huge menu but everything on it is awesome.

It's a casual place with a combination of tables and benches to sit at, including outdoors when it's nice out. Order at the counter then find a seat and relax. Get there after 5:30 and the crowd starts to build. Overall great food and beer at a great price, you can't go wrong.

Oh, and that food truck? Well that actually led to the restaurant being started - it is that successful. You can find these nice folks around noon at 100 Mill Plain Rd in Danbury in the building parking lot selling their wonderful burritos and a few other items. It's a great lunch option and you...

Insanity is repeating the same action expecting a different result. This means I’d be insane if I continue to eat here. Idk, I guess I’m nostalgic for the days when Broken Symmetry actually served food that was as good as their beer, but now they’re just a place where you can pay $21 for some ground beef and jalapeños stuffed inside a greasy soggy sun dried tomato wrap. Sorry guys, I’ve given you SO MANYYY chances to recover. I’ve checked in with a takeout order at least once a month; often every 2-3 weeks. It has been consistently terrible for the better part of a year. Maybe you just have to be a few flights in to full appreciate this new school approach to hipster cuisine? Idk. This was once a place I raved about to my friends, these days I’d advise against it. I’ve tried many dishes from multiple menus and it is ALWAYS a disappointment. Please hire an actual qualified chef to save that ridiculous menu along with some qualified kitchen staff to prepare the new meals and once you’ve done that please come reply to this review. I’ll be happy to give you yet another chance and remove this review if things actually improve. So very...

A Southerner’s Review

Three weeks ago I was back in Danbury for a business meeting. I visit the northeast twice a year to meet with my customer. We talked about this story below, and I hope yall will enjoy it. For the last two years, I’ve gone to Broken Symmetry twice; once on a random day of the week and once for Oktoberfest.

There’s a larger gentlemen who has a long beard from the gods who I’d like to personally call out. The first time we came to the brewery, he was our waiter. And a year and 3 months afterwards during Oktoberfest of 2022, he was in the window taking our coupons for a beer. Mind you, I do have a southern accent from Miss’ippi but I recall him saying “weren’t you here last year? I remember you!”

Call it what you want, that is down home family service. Someone who remembers you even though haven’t been home in years.

Thank yall again for making someone feel like home when they’re away from their family on a business trip. I pray this notion of goodwill never leaves such an amazing...
