3 Southbury Restaurants Among Connecticut Magazine's 'Best'

SOUTHBURY, CT — Three Southbury restaurants have been named among the state's best for 2022 in Connecticut Magazine's annual Best Restaurants survey.

Lucas Local Oyster Bar, located on Main Street South, was selected by readers for Overall Excellence, and Laurel Diner, also on Main Street South, was chosen by experts for having one of the state's best Breakfasts.

Additionally, Lucas Local also was recognized for being one of the state's best Seafood Restaurants, and having one of the best Raw Bars.

Also, Señor Pancho's, which has locations in three communities including Southbury, was named one of the state's best Mexican restaurants.

Dozens of restaurants throughout the state were selected for the popular magazine's 2022 best-of list, with both readers and a group of experts choosing their favorites in a plethora of categories:

"Our annual Readers’ Choice restaurant survey was conducted online during September and October 2021; voters were able to choose up to three restaurants in order of preference (with the votes weighted accordingly) in each category," the magazine wrote. "Restaurants were limited to a maximum of four Readers’ Choice wins in the categories in which they received the most votes. After that, awards in further categories went to the next qualifying restaurant. Our panel of experts then recommended additional places in each category which they believe deserve recognition."
