On our first visit we ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and Wild Turkey. The service was so good, all of the guys behind the deli made sure everyone was promptly assisted. When I lifted the bag of our 2 sandwiches, it was as heavy as a brick!! The sandwiches were so big we split one for lunch and one for dinner. The winner was the pulled pork, but we loved the turkey too. We returned a couple of days later for another pulled pork sandwich and I also ordered a giant dill pickle I saw on the counter. This place also has a huge selection of raw meats and prepared foods and a bunch of random local goodies and sauces to try. Again, I wish I took a picture of my sandwich, but I forgot about the existence of my phone while I was enjoying it :)

My daughter was very intrigued by the various wall art that she referred to as "monsters" and the cafe itself felt cozy. I'd like to come back for lunch!

On a spectacular weather like today, you can't beat the beautiful patio and covered porch. Just a terrific place to come with your family, a date or even by yourself. And that they have specials on a Tuesday afternoon (and are still serving breakfast), is amazing. I had the Crab Cake Benedict with the sauce on the side. This was one of the best crab cakes I've ever enjoyed ~ not fishy at all. Couldn't have enjoyed our food and company more.

I ordered a sandwich that came with pepper jack cheese and a chunky tomato spread, which I asked for on the side. The spread had a familiar taste, similar to salsa. The sandwich was supposed to come with bacon, but it was accidentally left off. Once I mentioned it, they brought it out on the side. I also ordered pancakes and added cream cheese and strawberries. The pancakes were just okay. nothing special, but not bad either. I enjoy trying different local spots whenever I'm in the area, so I always go in excited for the experience. Overall, this visit was decent. It was a little difficult finding this location at first, but there is a directory in the plaza that helps guide you to what you're looking for.

These days it's hard to find a cafe that isn't overpriced and better than just average. But Toasted Oat hits the high points of quality of cook on the food, even if the ingredients may not all be top notch. They have breakfast sandwiches, bowls and scrambles, as well as regular sandwiches, salads and burritos. We enjoyed the regular breakfast sandwich with spinach and cheese (subbed the meat but wish the spinach had been cooked in - $7) and the breakfast scramble which included 2 eggs, 3 veggies, cheese, protein all mixed/cut up together, as well as hash brown (didn't exactly look homemade?) and toast ($11). Everything was served in to-go containers so the looks weren't the best but makes sense given the place and that most people probably don't dine in. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Everything takes time to come out so you know it's done to order. They also have some coffee and tea. They had a few coffee cake items in a glass display but didn't look homemade either. It feels like a cafe should have more selection of pastries but again bother me. Service was friendly and patient. The actual location isn't that great visually either. There is one longer table and a few smaller ones, but it's not a big place and not decorated to impress (fine by me!) It is located in a small nondescript plaza with an Indian market. Small parking lot. Wish this small business well!

They have a soup shop in the back Monday - Friday (11AM - 3PM) and it's wonderful. When you walk in…read morethere's a board listing all the soups and there's a little bee next to the ones that are currently in stock. Some are fresh and some are frozen. We've had the corn chowder, the split pea with ham, and the super delicious sausage and kale. We went in today and got a butternut bisque, a chili, and an Italian wedding soup and are excited to have them for dinner over the weekend (ETA: The chili wasn't our favorite, but the Italian Wedding was very good and the butternut bisque was fantastic). They also have jams, honey, bread and little snacks. We tried the homemade strawberry jam and it's lovely. On Tuesdays, the soups are two for one (I believe this is every Tuesday, but maybe it was just on the Tuesday I happened to be there), which is a great deal. I have a feeling this place will be in our weekly rotation once the fall weather kicks in.

You can Grab and Go Monday through Friday between 11:00 and 6:00. If the portion size of our Eggplant Lasagna is typical of the rest, two can split an order. Here were tonight's entrees: Mac and Cheese $12 Chicken Dijon $14 Swedish Meatballs and Noodles $16 Panko Chicken $12 BBQ Pulled Pork with French Fries and a roll $18 Eggplant Lasagna $14 They had one appetizer tonight -a dozen sausage stuffed mushrooms for $16. They had a slew of $5 side dishes like vegetable quinoa, pasta salad, tuna mac, roast carrots, etc. And how can we forget dessert? I saw some cupcakes and macaroons. There were two very pleasant young folks behind the counter who took my order and placed my entrée and a bag of six macaroons ($5) inside a complimentary tote bag. They asked me to check out the freebies on a table on the way out, so I helped myself to a pen, a pad and a book of matches. The Eggplant Lasagna was plenty big for us to split. It had a nice blanket of mozzarella on top with lots of thinly sliced breaded eggplant, creamy ricotta, and sauce. It was very good, but I think it could have used a bit more sauce. And those macaroons? OUTSTANDING!! Very moist, very soft, very coconutty. The Bee's Knees provided us with very good quality food, a generous quantity for $14, and all things considered an excellent value.

Really good experience, especially close to closing time. A lot of places get visibly "checked out"…read morein the last half hour, so when they are still friendly and paying attention to details it stands out. Offering to separate the "Mike's Way" sauce for the ride home was smart -- tuna gets soggy fast otherwise. A refrigerated tuna setup right before close is also reassuring; sometimes late-night sandwich-shop tuna can feel like a gamble. It's interesting how much a good interaction changes the whole meal experience.

Man this place has gone downhill. In a hurry. They lost the majority of old staff that was there…read moreconsistently for years. The new staff is atrocious. I went in this past week. Usually go once a week. I ordered a mini and the moron behind the counter kept telling me I didn't have enough "Shore Points" to redeem. I was at 55. He just kept saying no and not asking for assistance. I just paid because I was in a hurry and tired of arguing with this fool. Take that situation away and the portions of meat are smaller and staff isn't friendly here anymore. They look bothered and lazy. This use to be best Jersey Mike's around. Not anymore. New staff has killed this place. Once I get my free grinder (fingers crossed) I'm done with this location after years of coming here. Sad.

In the beginning, the food quality and consistency weren't always where they needed to be, but they have made significant improvements and have become much more reliable. The peri peri chicken is flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked well, and the sides are generally fresh and satisfying. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, my recent experiences have been consistently positive. The staff is friendly, and service is generally smooth. The only minor issue I've noticed is that they occasionally run out of certain menu items, especially during busy periods. However, that hasn't taken away from the overall experience. It's great to see a local business continue to improve and grow. Overall, Tribos Peri Peri offers good food, solid service, and a much stronger experience than when they first started. I'd happily recommend it and will continue to return.

"But I got my head in the clouds like Zeus Swear I can see…read morethe game from a bird's-eye view" (Eminem) What on earth does peri peri mean? Well peri peri is a fiery little African Bird's-eye chili whose name literally means "hot pepper" in Bantu. Tribos Peri Peri in Avon is the regional chain's eighth location (and the only one in CT), with the other seven in MA, MD, and NJ. Their cuisine pays homage to that incendiary African Bird's-eye chili pepper in their Portugese, African, and Southeast Asian flavored chicken dishes. You can have your pick of wings, tenders, platters, and even a whole chicken with or without sides. Some of the sides and appetizers have a Mediterranean flair such as hummus, pita breads, couscous, falafel, etc. The non-chicken lovers can get other dishes with lamb, paneer cheese, falafel, etc. Now, when you order chicken you have to decide on your tolerance for a heat level. I ordered three freshly grilled tenders and needed to select one of their six spice levels for the sauce the tenders get bathed in. Level One is plain, Level Two is Lemon & Herb, Level Three is Mild, Level Four is Medium, Five is Hot, and Six dares you to be Very Hot. I went with Level Four Medium, and I gotta tell ya, my chicken tenders were very spicy. Oh... and the chicken itself? FANTASTIC - freshly grilled, large, moist and perfect. Soon after the tenders were delivered to my table, two more things appeared- a squeeze bottle of white and red sauce. The smiling server said if my chicken was too spicy I could cool it down with the white garlic sauce. But if they weren't spicy enough, I could increase the firepower with some peri peri sauce. Of course I had to try the peri peri sauce and lets just say I was very grateful I just tried an eye dropper's worth of it. Along with the chicken, I ordered an amazing side of grilled corn on the cob. So the food was great, but how about the service? My experience was fantastic. The gent who took my order was friendly, conversational, and helpful. And when he brought out those two sauces, he was playfully smiling when he talked about the heat level of that Peri Peri sauce. What a nice addition to the Farmington Valley.
