My husband and I have been here twice in the last 6 months…read more Pros: - Food is amazing! We shared the firecracker shrimp appetizer and fried combo meal with haddock, clams, huge baked potato, french fries and clam chowder. So much food we both got to bring some home. Delicious! - Cake and pie servings are HUGE! About $10-$12 each but even 2 people can't finish one piece. Between our 2 visits we have tried the chocolate pie, cheesecake, and chocolate cake. We liked them all! Cons: - Restaurant could use some updated decor, everything is super old. - Menus needed a good cleaning. - On the walkway coming in there were spiderwebs everywhere. - Bread was warm and homemade but tasted just so-so. Even with the cons, we would go back for the amazing food and service!!!

I visited this restaurant since it was the closest steakhouse to our hotel on a recent work trip…read more We tried to order iced tea....and they said they have it..but they would have to brew some. Apparently iced tea is a no no to order in the fall or winter in small town Connecticut. I chose their 14oz prime ribeye for what seemed to be a good price of only $40. It comes with the mixed veggies (Broccoli. Carrots. Squash) and potato of the day (homemade mashed potatoes). The steak was a bit chewy and did not seem to be a typical prime cut of beef I am used to getting back in Texas. Maybe prime beef in Connecticut isn't as good quality, who knows. The homemade bread that comes out before the dinner is good but hard. It's also very garlicky. Service was a bit awkward. Our waitress came by halfway through and said she was checking to make sure we were well taken care of...but my tea was almost empty and she just walked off and didn't say she'd refill it. I eventually had to flag her down a few mins later to ask for a refill. At fancy restaurants, they just fill it without you asking. She also messed up my colleagues meal. He asked for no squash and the chef seemed to put extra squash on his plate. She should have remembered that he didn't want squash. Overall, it was a decent experience, but I just expected more from a fancy restaurant. You pay a little more for better food and better service, but we didn't get that here.

We are always on the lookout for good places to go for breakfast and Oscar's in South Windsor on…read moreSullivan Avenue was a wonderful find. I think it is relatively new (change from another restaurant in the same location)? Plenty of parking, both in front & in the back of the building. There is an outside patio that will be nice to use when the weather is a little warmer. Inside, the space is good sized, with both booths & tables. Our server was very nice, friendly and welcoming. Food was very good. Stronger coffee (which I prefer). My husband & I both had omelettes. The omelettes are made with 3 eggs & come with toast & potatoes. We always ask to have the potatoes cooked a little crispier and they were good. Prices were good. I noticed that there are gluten free items on the menu too. We will be back.

A friend recently mentioned Oscar's. He and the Mrs. stopped in for lunch…read more First of all, kudos to Oscar's for being open 7 days / wk, for B, L, and D. Ample parking. Indoor (two sides, one w bar) and outdoor seating (in nice weather). So, I tried the cheeseburger with a side of fries. Advertised as 8 ozs. It was very good, not great. Definitely a patty, and also did not have that charbroiled taste. Bun was substantial, and held the cb well. Fries were very good. For me, the price point was slightly high, more in line with what a pub might charge. Lots of choices on the menu, and some interesting breakfast options. I also liked the happy hour listings. Service very good. So, overall, I am a fan. 4 stars

The fish was tasty with crispy edges, the price for lame free packaged crinkle cut not even a traditional chips which screams laziness. The fish tacos were decent again good crispy fish the odd part was a spicy coleslaw as the topping. The clam fritters had maybe a strand of clam 95% dough. And the macaroni salad was a good combination of macaroni to vegetables but lacked any sense of flavor. Overall not particularly satisfied for $62. What gets me is inside the shop they offer shelves of seasonings but seems their food itself lacks

I gave her…read morethe same look you'd give someone suggesting that hospital cafeteria meatloaf was haute cuisine and said, "If this is really what you want... just remember the last time." And honestly? Credit where it's due: this place may be the single most consistent restaurant in existence. Fourteen years later, nothing significant has changed. The food remains perfectly competent in the most uninspired way possible, a masterclass in culinary mediocrity. Portions are generous, though the prices still suggest ambitions the kitchen never quite fulfills. In the end, we left exactly as we did 14 years ago: neither disappointed nor impressed. Just aggressively, spectacularly, and completely whelmed.

From the moment we arrived, the front desk area felt disorganized and overcrowded. The young hostesses were not very welcoming and didn't greet guests with a smile or provide direction on where to stand or wait, which made the entrance experience awkward and chaotic. There is no bathroom downstairs so you would have to go upstairs for the restrooms The restaurant was offering a $70 prefix menu, which honestly did not feel worth the cost. For that price, you only received soup or salad, an entrée, and dessert. I really think an appetizer should have been included considering the price point, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. We were seated downstairs near the kitchen, and it was extremely warm and uncomfortable down there during the meal. On a positive note, the service itself was fairly quick, and our waiter was very attentive and friendly, which was appreciated. Overall though, the atmosphere, organization, and value for the money left us disappointed. This did not include drinks and automatic gratuity was included in the bill since we had a party of 6.

They even have outdoor seating ( covered to allow shade) . The service is always great . Our server was very polite , attentive, asked about allergies , gave his suggestions , and constantly checked in on us to make sure we had everything . For started I got the firecracker shrimp , which had a sweet and tangy sauce which was delicious highly recommend ( I personally didn't think it was spicy but had great flavour ) For my entree I got the California chicken sandwich which was really good . Highly recommend and I got the side of truffle fries which had just the right amount of truffle ( since I personally don't like to much truffle ) Plenty of flavour . I also ordered the aperol spritz which was nice and light and refreshing . My friend ordered the filet which was cooked perfectly to what he wanted. Nice light seasoning with salt and pepper and juicy on the inside . Served with delicious mashed potatoes and green beans . The espresso martini he said was his second best he's ever tasted ! Which is a win . For dessert we. Tried the seven layer chocolate cake to go! Which heated up and with a scoop of ice cream was amazing very thick and rich in flavour which I loved.

First, I want to say that the manager I met was so kind and hospitable. He checked in on me, asked…read moreif I needed a suggestion when he saw me struggling with a choice, and he even offered to get me a dessert! He was well-versed in gluten free options, and I appreciated how hard he worked running dishes, assisting servers where he could, and still taking care of customers. Now for the food! Food was solid, but I was looking for more WOW. Now, the appetizers were WOW. Gluten free calamari and the Bang Bang Cauliflower were WOW. I could not have told that they were gluten free! Especially the calamari! The coating stuck to the calamari well and was not too greasy. The cauliflower was very good, and while I would have enjoyed a little less sauce, it was so much fun to eat such a crispy delicious bite of fried broccoli. I also had the octopus and roasted potatoes, and while the octopus was cooked well and was delicious, the roasted potatoes were almost rubbery. I wanted them hotter, roasted, browned and crispy a little bit, but they were plain. The dish came with a corn succotash as well, but I I was looking for a different flavor with this dish. I also got the gluten free lobster roll, and maybe it's the style I wasn't a big fan of (warm buttered), but I think there's an opportunity to butter the roll itself and toast it on a griddle to invoke that crispy buttered roll that screams lobster roll deliciousness. The fries were great. I live it when they aren't too thin, a little thicker, nicely salted, and that perfect crunchy crispy brown and caramelized with a soft center. Add some lovely service, and I would happily come back to Burton's and all of their gluten free options any day of the week. What a treat!

Johnson Fish Market is a long-established neighborhood seafood shop in Hartford, Connecticut. The…read moreplace offers fish, shellfish, and seafood platters. When I was in the Hartford area and craving some fish, I checked out this spot on Yelp. It's not in the nicest part of town, but that's often where you find the best food. As I stepped inside, I was greeted warmly and ordered the number 5 platter, which included three pieces of whiting and a piece of catfish. I wanted some coleslaw on the side, but they didn't have it. The staff mentioned they sold potato salad instead. They even gave me a sample, which was just okay--personally, I thought it needed more potatoes since I could mainly taste the dressing. My order arrived within about ten or fifteen minutes. The fish was just so-so. The whiting was a bit bland, and although it looked crispy, it felt slimy when I bit into it. The catfish was good and didn't have that slimy texture, but it lacked a real punch of flavor. The fries were decent enough. The customer service was friendly, and the staff made me feel welcome.

Cheap and good eats…read more Came here because I like the hot dog shack near Hartford and wanted to see how this place fared. The inside didn't change much from when it was a different dining space. Server was very friendly and checked in multiple times. I opted for the breakfast burger and the hot chip sundae. The food took a few minutes, but eventually the food came out. The burger was very thin, but everything was executed well. The burger patty, egg, and bun were seasoned and grilled. Cheese was melty, bun was buttered, and the roll was fresh. It wasn't a great burger, but it was treated as well as one could do with the ingredients provided. Same with the hot chip sundae. Basic cookie and okay ice cream with a generic chocolate sauce. Cookie could've been warmer, but the attention to detail was there. The price was cheap. Burger, hot dog, sundae, and sandwich came out to 24 bucks. It's not trying to be fancy grub, but that down home diner with simple food done right. Sometimes, you just need some grub and this place delivers in spades. It's not trek worthy, but it's a good stop along the way.

Still great bites for a good price…read more I come here from time to time. This place is very much a good quality but ample portions place. So for those looking to fill their bellies with good eats then this place fits the bill. Tried their birria tacos, and they were cheesy and greasy in the best way. The consommé was flavorful and not too overpowering. You could eat it like a soup and be pleasantly surprised. The beef was tender but a little dry. Needed the broth. As a quick casual bite place, it's a very solid place to go. The parking lot is the biggest gripe, but outside of the businesses control. Worth a try if you're hungry and want lots of good food
