About This Spot

Nestled in the heart of Norwalk, Freight House Tavern welcomes visitors with a warm, unpretentious vibe that feels like a comfortable gathering spot for both families and old friends. The moment you step inside, the space reveals itself as a cozy refuge lined with sports memorabilia and accents that quietly nod to the town’s heritage, creating a relaxed backdrop where conversations flow easily and the pace naturally slows down just enough to savor the company.

Here, the experience is one of familiar comfort elevated by thoughtful details — from the easy rhythm of service to the inviting hum of laughter and clinking glasses. It’s a place where the everyday gets a little more enjoyable and mealtime becomes a shared moment rather than a simple task.

The kitchen reflects this approachable warmth in its menu, offering dishes that satisfy a spectrum of tastes without fuss. Whether you’re drawn to the rich, hearty flavors of a well-charred burger or the subtle spice of wings tossed in expertly balanced sauces, each plate feels made to order and served with care. Side dishes like sweet potato waffle fries or crispy cheese curds add a playful touch, while the rotating selection of beers and unique house wines invite relaxed sipping and slow conversation.

Above all, Freight House Tavern thrives on being a genuine neighborhood spot — one you might find yourself returning to time and again not just for the food, but for that easygoing spirit and steady sense of welcome that makes each visit feel like coming home.

A neat cozy atmosphere inside, decorated with lots of sports memorabilia and other. The food was average bar food. Service was accurate and timely. Price was okay.

We are repeat customers and drive 45 minutes to get our favorite shrimp basket! Hands down the best! Food comes out quick, hot, and made to order! Great customer service and fun, relaxed atmosphere. Besides the shrimp basket, we love their appetizers! And sweet potato waffle fries! Oh, and the flat bread pizzas are soooo good, too! The price is reasonable compared to many restaurants out there. We highly recommend this place! Give it a try! Especially Lily’s shrimp basket!

Freight House Tavern in Norwalk is a total hidden gem! Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you; inside, you'll find some seriously delicious eats. I've been there a few times now, and I'm consistently impressed, especially with their burgers, wraps, and those amazing hand-cut fries. Let's start with the burgers: juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly to order. They've got a great selection of toppings, so you can customize your burger to your heart's content. And the wraps? Packed with fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. Whether you're in the mood for something classic or a little more adventurous, they've got a wrap that'll hit the spot. But the real star of the show might just be the hand-cut fries. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned – these fries are seriously addictive. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is laid-back and welcoming, making it a great spot to grab a casual bite with friends or family. The service is always friendly and efficient, too. If you're in Norwalk and looking for a place with great burgers, wraps, and fries that are a cut above the rest, Freight House Tavern is a must-try!

My family is a little down on our luck right now and the owner saw a post I had put on Facebook and was so kind enough to offer us free dinner. We got to try the chicken tenders fries chesseburgers and quesadillas and it was all amazing. Thank you so much for your kind heart we’re lucky to have someone like you in our community. We definitely will be dining with you when we can
