Great made to order food. Excellent selection of beer including from local breweries on tap.

Stopped in today trying to find a decent hot dog. Nothing is more annoying than a foot long hot dog on a regular sized greasy bun. Plus it was under a proper temperature. Onion straws were OK. Tots were OK. Tried to get someone's attention to get a drink at the bar, to no avail. We would up drinking the lukewarm cucumber water that was offered. The tray they put our food on was absolutely filthy as were the tables. Very disappointed, this place should be a gem. Perhaps some adult supervision for the very young staff is in order. read more

We stopped in after kayaking with Metacomet tours and what a perfect day . Staff were extremely friendly , it is carry out with tables at a bar area or outdoors .Bar area has some free games to play . We chose outdoors to sit by the water .

After my last visit, I vowed to never return. However, article in paper mentioned new ownership. So. .. Glad I came back. New owners took over in the spring, and made it a fun place again. Brought back the old menu and more. I had two foot-long dogs, one w brown mustard and kraut, one w chili. Both were delicious, served on New England style buns that were grilled on the sides. Two quibbles for me. First, a bit pricey; second, they need to do something about the ubiquitous flies that are rampant in the eating area. But, hey, I guess the flies have to make a living, too. 4 stars read more

Out driving with my son i randomly stopped in here and was pleasantly surprised. The place is clean and comfortable, very coffee shop or nice beer garden vibe. You walk up and order. Prices were fare, they are producing better than fast food quality so dropping 30 for a dog 2 sodas and 2 fries was OK, plus for me us these are Hummels dogs. Growing up on the coast I most definitely have a bias! Everything was cooked well and I will very much be back. read more

Went to Bart's to get a latte and I gasped when she told me my total was $9.06. Coffee and syrups aren't made in house so I'm not sure why the high price. Avocado Burger was great. read more

Great Bones, No Soul (and No Beer) Stopped in hoping for a cold beer and a good time--got neither. The bear (I mean beer) tap was out, the food was clearly auditioning for a school lunch program, and the staff looked like they were being punished. The place looks like it could be great--but not this year kids. Keep driving unless you're into flat beer, sad burgers, and existential dread after eating the hot dogs. read more

Don't waste your time slow and expensive for what you get. The food used to be way better. Now they don't even care served us old cold onion straws read more

New Owners. Great Upgrade! Fun menu. Good drink selection. Solid burgers for a quick dinner.

My first adult job was in Windsor Locks. I wasn't from the area, and being the new guy, I didn't have much of a say in group lunch spots. Bart's was in rotation for dogs, burgers, fries, etc. Until this week, I hadn't been to Bart's for over 20 years. Since I was in the area, I decided to drop in. I quickly noticed that the menus referred to "New Bart's". Since I hadn't been in over 20 years, the changeover could have been at any point. I asked. The ownership change was "about a month ago". I missed the old team by a month. How crazy is that? Given the ownership change, I'm not sure how accurate the 3 Star Rating is for New Bart's, but it is what it is. I ordered a classic -- Bart's Famous Dog with chili, relish, peppers, ketchup, mustard and Mayo. It's an eye catching dog. The grilled reddish dog extends from both sides of the bun. There are strips of white and yellow. Dashes of red and green. Brown chili. I'm sure it sounds like a mess, but the sweet, sour and salty flavors were well balanced. The dog, the brand of which I did not recognize, was cooked through and medium dense. The bun was pretty good. I tried to isolate the chili sauce to see if it was good. It didn't really pop for me, but it worked fine with the other ingredients. Bart's also has sandwiches, some seafood, chicken nuggets and fried rice. They have inside seating in an old school, no frills dining room. You can also get takeout or order delivery. This was a nice trip down memory lane. 4 Stars read more

Cute location, very authentic roadside standish... however the best thing was the fries. The hot dogs we served in New England style rolls - but not toasted!! Whaaaat. The Beanery is only open for breakfast - which was a disappointment. And the dogs were... eeeh If you are really craving some fries and need an excuse - this will work. But overall, not that clean of a location and leaves alot to be desired. read more

Love it here! They have great coffee and they dont skimp out on flavors. Service was great, the workers are very kind.

The burgers at Barts are great! Great bun, great burger, great set-up! Can't wait for those lobster rolls to come back next summer.

I had a horrible experience. First I asked for a FRIED chicken sandwich and they brought me a grilled chicken sandwich. Then because they seasoned the fried chicken whit something I'm allergic to and told them ahead of time that I was. Then I asked for a hamburger instead. Lettuce and tomato only. I'm allergic to may and cheese but they messed up again and added cheese. They offered me a free drink to make up for it which I had a drink with 50 cent refills. I left. No refund given. read more

Classic drive in style may be gone the food is still here. Ordered a cheeseburger, burger, BLT, Slaw Dog which is a foot long and fries. The food is heavy on taste customization and plenty of choices from cheese to bread and toppings. Ice cream abs milkshakes and bakery on premises too! Plenty of seating and feel of country kitchen decor. read more

The food was good. The atmosphere was classic to a car hop or drive in. The fish dinner was cod. It was moist but the outside was a bit overcooked for my taste. The grilled cheese was gooey and delicious. The grandchildren loved it. 3 generations of family with me today and we all enjoyed ourselves. The prices were high for the amount of food. Overall it was a good experience. The restaurant was clean. The staff members were all kind and courteous. read more

So sad the new owners ruined a Windsor institution. You cant cut staff, close the counter and serve poor quality food. I hope they sell to someone. owning a business is an investment. even the breakfast pasteries were stale. I hope they sell it soon so someone with a bigger vision can take over and save it. read more

Used to have the best hotdogs around. New owners have driven this place so low, I can get a better hotdog now at Johnny's Falafel Hut. Wouldn't go back if it was the only place around, and I needed hotdogs to live. read more

This was my second time visiting Bart's, but the first time under the new ownership. They closed the walk up bar, so I had to enter through the Beanery Bistro. I thought I would walk in to a pleasant smell of coffee, but the restaurant smelled like old cooking grease. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a hard roll. It came on a sesame seed burger bun. The sandwich smelled like it had been cooked in old grease which was unappetizing. The sandwich didn't taste good at all. The girl at the counter was nice and gave good customer service. I hope they're able to improve the food. read more

Sucks what happened to Barts been going there since 1962 the food used to be great the food i had yesterday what crap greasy over priced I know things have gone up in price If the food does not get better I give them less than a year Its to bad I will never eat there again. read more

*new ownership* HORRIBLE. If I could give zero stars I would. Ordered a hotdog with ketchup and mustard (she put on relish and went for mayo and I had to correct it) - she took the relish and scraped it back into the container Cheeseburger (out of patties) Philly cheesesteak (they made a fish sandwich) - when we said that was incorrect she took the lettuce from the toasted bun and put it back in the lettuce container, took the fish and put it back in the bowl, and took the toasted bun and put it back in the bag! YUCK They also tried to charge me the "new menu" prices which I refused because the board still showed the old ones. Philly cheesesteak had enough beef/cheese/peppers to not even cover half of the bun. Hotdog was cold and not juicy, so it was apparent the grill wasn't hot. Threw it all away. I not be going back. So sad as this was a staple from childhood. They have since closed off the "kitchen" which is the counter you order at. Probably so you can't see how gross they are with food. Any good ratings that are posted are not from people who went to the original Barts. It is garbage. Hope the old owners come save this place. read more

Omg barts is so back!! The new owners did an amazing job with everything!! The food is so amazing, everyone was nice and friendly, and the atmosphere was overall 10/10!! I'm so glad that is place is back to what it used to be. read more

I used to goto Bart's for hotdogs and hamburgers! They were great! Unfortunately not so much anymore. The business was sold not to long ago, per an article that I read online. I ordered a cheeseburger and curly fries with an orange soda. The cheeseburger was s supposed to come with lettuce , tomato, mustard, Mayo an ketchup. I barely got a cheeseburger, no lettuce, no tomato. The orange soda was the best part of the meal unfortunately. Won't be going back anytime soon. I would give half a star if I could. read more

Bart's is that small town classic old-time kind of eatery. Order at counter, pick up and then eat at one of the picnic tables placed outside a few feet away from the Farmington River where the annual Shad Derby takes place. Where else can you order an egg sandwich and the town's mayor who owns Bart's will fry it up for you? Food is standard American take out, hamburgers, hot dogs etc. I usually order next door at the Beanery, but Bart's is known for their hotdogs. The Beanery, offers a choice of teas, flavored coffees, wraps, muffins and scones and plenty of booths and tables to sit with friends. Cozy environment. It can get hopping at lunch time as contractors pull up in their trucks, but staff is efficient and swift with serving. read more

Bart's In Name Only. Granted it's been 10 years since I was there last, but have gone 1-2 times every summer for nearly 40 years prior. I was told things had changed and gone downhill but I like to judge things myself. The area where we used to order inside the big doors in front of the grill is now closed off. The girl at the register greeted us right away and handed us menus. Let's just say her friendliness and the fries were the only positives. The sit down area is slightly familiar but oddly furnished now. Food now comes from the grill through a small cut-out in the wall. I'd give 1.5 stars if I could. 2 is just too generous. Crinkle fries were hot, crispy and lightly salted. The only bright spot. Although the canned sodas were cold so they've got that working for them, too. Ordered a cheeseburger for my son. Almost stale bun, small overcooked patty, at least the lettuce and tomato looked decent. In the past I've always gotten fried fish or clams. Was just in the mood for a dog so I ordered a Bart's Famous Chili Dog which has a load of stuff on it. Chili, onions, tomato, ketchup, relish. I'm usually a no ketchup on hot dogs guy but figured it's famous so I'll go with it. I have no idea what was on it besides relish, ketchup, mayo and mustard. There was no meat-based chili in any form. There was what appeared to be what most people would know as sweet Thai chili sauce. Not at all what it was expecting and just an odd mess of flavors. Maybe they always put sweet Thai chili sauce on it. Why?? There is no way I would trust any of the seafood here if they even still offer it. Major disappointment nostalgia- and food-wise. I won't be returning unless something drastically changes for the better. It's a shame since it's such a cool location and has such a great history. If you're looking for great grilled dogs and burgers with an old-time atmosphere, skip the new Bart's and take a 10 minute drive south to Augie & Ray's! read more

Made a trip down memory lane to visit a childhood favorite and will never come back. New ownership. Nothing was cooked properly, food was mishandled, it was dirty, and was charged numerous times as they don't know how to use the credit card machine. Shame because it's hard to mess up burgers and hotdogs. My wife and I threw away the food after one bite. Not edible. read more

Will not visit ever again. It was dead empty and that should have been a sign. We went for breakfast at 9am on a Wednesday and not a soul was there (except 3 employees). I ordered my coffee and donuts at the Beanery and then our breakfast at Bart's right besides the coffee spot. My cappuccino was way tooooo hot. The milk definitely was over steamed. The donuts were ok. Too sweet but not the best. The cookies I got for my kids, which I tried later, were actually Pretty good. Now our breakfast. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. The bagel was old, dry and rubbery. The bacon was PRE COOKED and packaged (like the pre made Oscar Myers kind) and my egg over cooked and greasy. My friend had a bagel (same) with cream cheese (that was old) and home fries (which weren't awful). I will never ever eat here again. Highly disappointed. read more

In the past this was a great place to stop in for a quick bite. Not anymore. I understand it is under new ownership. They really have to pick up the pace with the service as well as the quality of the food. Should have walked out when I went I to order and a lady was there questioning how much longer for her two hot dogs. It took forever to get our Philly steak and fries. There was literally no meat and the peppers were cold like they had been frozen. It was clear to see that the roll was previously frozen. Sad to see what this place has become. read more

Food has changed dramatically with new owners. Hotdogs were terrible. Hamburg look like it was cooked two days ago. Definitely not the Bart's we all know and love!! New owners do not have a clue. Also, bathrooms were disgusting!! Stay far away. read more

Ordered 2 simple hot dogs . One with mustard only , one with ketchup & relish. This next step should have warned me to run. Paid with a credit card . She handed me the receipt to sign . I laid it on the counter in front of me and signed . When I went to pick it up , it stuck to the filthy ancient wooden counter . After carefully peeling it off I handed it to my non English speaking waitress. We waited and watched as an older woman came in to order a coffee and her request for what she wanted in it was milk . That's it.... milk . Impossible to get that request through this waitresses thick skull. My orders up , so I take it and go back to my car. My wife opens her hot dog and it is drowned, I'm talking soaking wet , absolutely covered in ketchup and relish. COVERED. Did I mention Covered. So much there was no way to contort her arm/ hands to lift it from its wrapper with being covered in these soaking wet condiments . Moving on I open mine and it's covered in a river of ketchup. I bring it back in and "clueless" takes it from me and hollers through the 2 foot square hole in the wall , to the "nit wit" cook to make me another one. This time with the requested mustard . And this time , just a little bit of mustard. I wait and wait and wait for what seems like way too long to cook a hot dog on an already hot grill. He finally passes it through this 2 foot square hole to the waiting waitress. I go back to the car. My wife has finished Her hot dog after wiping it off with 7 napkins. I open my hot dog . Yup its mustard this time. But it looks like it ways lifted up with a pair of tongs and shoved into a baking pan full of mustard . I can only see the 2 ends of this hot dog and only the bottom half of the bun. We are laughing and my wife knows me well enough to stop me from going back inside and seeing if I can fit this into Gordon Ramsey's ear hole . I get out and throw it into the trash barrel along with my wife's napkin mess. I don't even go back in for a refund. Smart move on my part . No ambulance or paddy wagon. Stay away from the disgusting slop house restaurant. Seriously, you'll be sorry . read more

Very disappointing lunch today. Long wait, poor quality, overvalued. Burgers were shoe leather. Shakes watery and warm. New owners should get in another business. read more

Bart's has been a staple in Windsor for generations. Staff is always friendly and helpful. The prices are a bit high though. The produce is bland. Bagged shredded lettuce it the choice for burgers. I compare this place to Scooters in Windsor locks. The owner should go sit down there and have a few items to compare the quality of the meat, bread and produce to the price. A ham egg and cheese at doms in the center of Windsor has three times the amount of meat for the same price. The wait is a little longer at doms but you can always call ahead for takeout. The one thing that nobody can beat Bart's on is their onion rings. Their steak and cheese is also better than most because they make it with roast beef instead of "steak-ums". I will say though that it is a bit expensive due to the size of the sandwich. A steak and cheese at Jim's pizza right around the corner is twice the size for only about $2 more. read more
