Basic decor, nice server, horrible burger and good meatballs. I came here on a whim. Lots of good reviews and slightly off the beaten path. So decided to give this place a try, see if the reviews are warranted. Outside is nothing special. It's a little worn but not majorly so. Went in and was greeted by a single server. Told me I could sit wherever and got a to-go menu. Asked for recommendations, none came to her mind. So I went with my staples, a burger with fries (sweet potato this time around), a side of meatballs, and a slice of carrot cake. As I glanced around at the empty restaurant, some of the tables had yet to be cleaned. I suspect they were waiting for the end of their day to do a full clean. Not a great sign, but I can't say that for certain. Meatballs came out quick, and were actually really good. Not tough, good ragu, not buried under gobs of cheese, little bready but seasoned. Overall a very solid start. The burger...that was a major flop. Overcooked, unseasoned frozen patty with unseasoned sautéed onions and canned mushrooms. On a lightly toasted but unbuttered bun with bagged fries. This burger was very much the chef not caring and whipping up a quick burger with long stored ingredients. This is a diner, expecting gourmet eats from a diner is not realistic. I do ask if the food is better than fast food, and that's very much a no here. With fast food, things are lighter in portion but seasoned and designed to be tasty enough. Here you get a bigger patty but it's like chewing on rubbery pebbles. Couple this with a long stale carrot cake slice with dried frosting on top, and you got the signs of a place trying to do too much with no quality. This I will say in their defense. The meatballs show that the chef, when they care and can control their product, is able to cook and cook well. If you ignore anything that is a freezer or restaurant depot item, then you will get something tasty. I highly suspect any good reviews are from items that avoid those trappings and forces the chef to actually cook. So I'm chalking this meal up to a staff that had a rough week and just stopped caring. They really need to focus on their product, make sure their basics are sound and focus their menu. If you don't have enough business to cycle through stock then reduce the menu. Limit the dessert selection, make the foods you know you can do well, and sell those. If you can't make desserts, then find the best place that can and partner up with them. For those considering going here, avoid the burgers. Aim for foods that you can't store in a freezer and you'll do well.

Breakfast w 5 friends, 4/15/24

Recently stopped in w 5 friends for breakfast. Service was excellent. Coffee, etc constantly flowed to our table. I had a Florentine (feta and spinach) omelet; others had French toast, egg white omelet, western omelets, etc. First of all, the presentation of my omelet was Picasso-worthy (suitable for framing). However, first time I ever had spinach in or on an omelet where it wasn't at least wilted. Kind of weird, to me. My grits were excellent. For me, they were the hit of the show. Overall rating is 4, which was also the average for my 5 dining partners. Also, first time I've rated them less than 5. Reasonable, good service.

"Fly Translove Airways gets you there on time" (Jefferson Airplane) We were heading home when the hunger pangs forced us to consider stopping for breakfast. But where should we stop? Well, YELP made that decision easy to make once I saw the excellent reviews for Airway. Our server Nadiye was charming, helpful and very attentive while not intrusive. Our breakfast of two omelets and two coffees ran a very reasonable $28.02. Coffees were $2.95 and Nadiye was right there with unprompted refills. An American Cheese omelet was $9.25 and came with two pieces of toast and a side. Now, Airway does sides right, because they offer quite a few -how about Home Fries, Deep Fried Home Fries, Tots, Fresh Fruit, Grits, French Fries, sliced tomatoes, and for a buck more you can splurge on Curly Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, or Onion Rings. I went with a Veggie omelet ($10.95) with rye toast and the regular home fries. Now I have to tell ya the serving plates at Airway are huge, but amazingly our orders filled up just about every square inch of that plate. My veggie omelet was loaded with diced onions, peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. But the thing that surprised me was how great the home fries were. They were cooked on the flat top (we didn't go for the deep-fried versions) and they were so tender and delicious. The portions were huge (so we took home half of each), the service was great, and the pricing was very fair. Great job, Airway!

Lovin me the local mom & pop--especially a truly FaBuLuOuS diner!! We happened upon this newer establishment purely by chance. There are not too many good choices this close in to Bradley airport. We expected mediocre, and we got FIRE. You don't need to be headed in or out of the airport to stop in for a really great breakfast (all day!) lunch or dinner! The choices are plentiful and in large portions. Best part?! Prices are mad low for the area! This is our second time, but def NOT our last. Check it out when flying or...whenever. Give me a shout out if you do, thanks for reading me, & happy healthy yelping!

We had breakfast for six and we were all happy with our food and the service. They were able to fit us in a booth plus there are tables for larger groups. The only thing that was tough was the sound. It got so loud and we felt we had to speak loud to be heard. I wish people could just talk a little softer when out at any restaurant. But the food is consistently good and I love this place.

"And there's fire on the mountain Lightening in the air…read moreGold in them hills and it's waiting for me there" (Marshall Tucker Band) Fire On the Mountain has one of the most unique menus I've ever encountered. Seriously, where else have you ever seen breakfast quesadillas, catfish and grits, cheesecake cornbread waffles, smoked brisket hash, deep fried pork ribs, catfish, mushroom, and alligator tacos, and a Puerto Rican Rice Bowl all happily living in the same menu's neighborhood? And then, the icing on the cake was our server - a charismatic and uber-friendly gent named Bromwell who lights up the room with his personality. He made my list of the five greatest servers I interacted with this year. The restaurant's location is as unusual as its menu. You'll find it occupying the front space at the Suffield Commons Senior Living Apartments! Yup, as you walk through the restaurant and out their back door, you actually enter a common space for the housing complex. The restaurant itself has two dining rooms with booths, tables, and chairs and a bar with dining room chairs. That eclectic menu is chock full of breakfast, lunch, and dinner choices with Mexican and barbecue flairs. We were there for lunch and ordered two things. The first was an enormous Cheese Quesadilla ($9.35) with pork ($3.12) on a grilled flour tortilla served with sour cream and pico. It was a thing of beauty, cut into five thick wedges loaded with smoked pork. Our second item was a Caesar Salad (Half size for $6.23) with a side of smoked brisket ($9.36). I passed on the croutons and Caesar dressing in lieu of barbecue sauce as my dressing. I gotta tell you, the brisket was GREAT, a big serving of tender and juicy smoked beef cut into four slabs that must have totaled close to a half pound. We loved everything about Fire On the Mountain and agreed that we need to return for a proper breakfast when we are out that way or making a morning airport run. PRO TIP The restrooms are located in the housing complex's common space I described earlier/ Just exit the restaurant by the door in the rear dining room, and you're just about there.

Went out of my area to try a new place and happy that this spot was on my watch list…read more GPS threw me for a loop but once I parked and made my way inside I was positively greeted to an empty place, will not lie I was worried. Had myself some pancakes, scrambled eggs and potatoes and this hit the spot! Pancakes were huge filled with blueberries. Potatoes were crisp as I had asked. And when I order scrambled eggs with cheese this is exactly how I want them made, fluffy and mixed together. They have alligator on the menu and as temped as I was to order, I will save that for next time.

Cute, nice people, pretty good upscale American food…read more Pizza is my favorite. Drinks and food have varying quality : my guess based on faces is high staff turnover.

Odd little place. Locals like it. Parking way in the back makes for an uphill walk to the place…read more You enter, but there is no one to greet you in the very empty restaurant. So you walk farther upward to the bar. Small dark. Limited seating. Cozy and quaint but somehow still awkward. Yelp shows pizza, Steak and other great food. However, I was informed they no longer do pizza. Okay. So, I ordered the steak with red wine. A few minutes later I was told they were out of steak. (6:30 on a Wed). Ok. Np again. The baked scrod sounded good and I flipped my red wine order to sauv blanc. A very good house salad immediately came out. Fresh and full of good lettuce. Not cheap iceberg as well as plum tomatoes and cucumber and red onion. Nice! But it went down from here. Tick tock. Tick tock. Time goes by. The barteneder spending time talking to her favorite guests seemed aggravated that I interrupted after 15 minutes and asked if my dinner was arriving anytime soon? Just as she went to check it finally came out. And was not worth the wait. A $6 piece of cod sitting on mashed potatoes and soggy spinach just saturated in butter. A fish soup almost. $25? Ah not. I was just about to try dessert and the guy next to me ordered another drink for he and his girlfriend. The bartender said no. "We have a three drink max rule." Rude. To the point. Ruined their experience right there and mine too since i already had a martini and a wine. So, I wasnt going to rish an espresso martini with dessert and add more cost to be cut off. Anyway, i decided to skip dessert and just go. I left wanting an underwhelmed.

Cute location, basic diner grub…read more Came here on a whim. Running out of breakfast spots so need to scour further out. This place came up a decent distance away, so I made the trek. Sole server was hospitable. Lots of items were unavailable when I tried to inquire about them. Drinks were self-serve, but they did deliver food. I opted for the stuffed French toast and tried their home fries to see how they prepped them. Food came out with a little wait. Took my pics and dug in. The French toast, they did try but it was not the best. Cream cheese was as advertised, sweetened and smeared lightly between lightly dipped bread pieces which were grilled on a griddle. Lots of blueberries and a few sliced strawberries. And some powered sugar for decoration. Taste-wise was okay, but was way too bready and not enough seasoning. If I were to advise on how to fix this, make a cream cheese filling with the cool whip and cream cheese, and make it a substantial layer of filling. Macerate the strawberries, and soak the bread a bit longer so the custard can seep in. The home fries were lightly seasoned, cooked through but lacking flavor. I like my home fries to have a bit of a sear to them with crispy browned bits. I also like them to be seasoned a little heavier, or else all you get is a bland potato. Pricing was about 18.50. So not bad for the dishes I ordered. Portion was right, just the quality was lacking. As a little local diner, it fits the bill just fine. You can get eggs and omelettes and the space is nice. Just know it's very basic and you'll be just fine.
