Burtons Grill & Bar is a modern American restaurant located in South Windsor. Their menu features a variety of dishes, including burgers, salads, steaks, and fresh seafood. Situated in The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk, Burtons Grill offers a bar, a spacious dining room, a seasonal patio, and a space suited for large groups. My friends wanted to take me out for my birthday and asked where I'd like to go. I chose this spot because I'd heard so many good things about it. Since the weather was pleasant in October, we decided to sit outside. For starters, we shared a rustic bread roll served with pesto, herb, and garlic butter, and olive tapenade. In my opinion, the olive tapenade really stole the show, giving the bread a bold flavor. The bread itself was soft, warm, and utterly delicious. We also tried the signature wings coated in maple sriracha and the Memphis dry rub wings. Although I couldn't distinctly taste the maple or sriracha, the wings were still packed with flavor and perfectly seasoned. We also ordered the Spinach and Artichoke Dip, which was rich with spinach, artichoke hearts, parmesan, tomato-jalapeño relish, and served with tortilla chips. It was genuinely tasty. For my main course, I went with the Steak Frites, featuring a charred flatiron steak served with béarnaise sauce and Parmesan-truffle fries. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The truffle fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and the truffle flavor really made them stand out. It was a simple yet satisfying dish. My friends chose the crispy fish sandwich, comprising fried haddock, pickled red onions, pickles, tartar sauce, all nestled in a brioche bun with a side of French fries. Another friend ordered the general Tso bowl, which included braised chicken glazed with general Tso sauce, along with charred broccoli, a rice-and-quinoa blend, julienned vegetables, toasted almonds, scallions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and ginger aioli. Both of them said their meals were fantastic. Our server was friendly, lively, and attentive throughout the meal. I definitely plan on returning to try more items from the menu.

Atmosphere was very nice and clean. Waitress was very kind and attentive to my questions and drinks were awesome and food is fantastic. Definitely recommend. Definitely going to swap an appetizer for a dessert next time as we heard that the dessert here was made in house.

Steak frites - pretty tasty.

Burtons is at the better choice for upscale restaurants that are still offering casual dining and cocktails. Our reservation was right on time, and I would recommend calling ahead as they book up quickly. Our service was a bit below average, but the food was above average. The cocktails lacked a bit of creativity, but that was made up by the charming bartenders who were very attentive. We should've eaten at the bar as our server was the only downfall in a rather busy evening. He ghosted us for about 25mins between ordering and the food coming out. We would've ordered more drinks and a bottle of wine while we waited for our food but never saw him. So they fell short on service, but the food was good and the bar was fun. We will go again, and hope for a better server next time.

Passion, berry mocktail.

I met my girlfriend for dinner on Thursday night. We were seated quickly and greeted by the waitress. We ordered passion berry mock tails to start. They were pretty and delicious. We both opted for the fillet and crabcakes special. I have a gluten allergy and was happy to see so many gluten-free items available on the menu, including the crabcakes on the special. My fillet was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My GF had risotto instead of potato. She said it was lovely and flavorful. We both had dessert. I had the gluten-free chocolate cake and she had the Keylime pie. Both were excellent We both enjoyed our visit and I will be back. Highly recommend!.

Returned to Burtons after that amazing short rib experience 6 years ago, but not as lucky this time around. The ordering: I asked the waitress if they still have short ribs? She said yes & pointed to the dinner menu, the $34 dinner short ribs as the only option (lunch time, 12:15pm). I hesitated but bit the bullet in the end, only to find out that there is a $24 lunch option with short ribs. I wanted to switch but too late. I felt misled, not a good start. Comment below please let me know your thoughts. Do you think she didn't mention lunch short ribs on purpose? or she just didn't know? The food: It's far from what I remembered, not very tasty, my son said it tasted like my beef stew, nothing special, lol. It's missing the fatty connective tissues, so the "short ribs" showing lean long muscle fibers look more like chuck roast? See the picture & let me know if you think it's really short ribs? My son had burger & he said it's not as good as 5 guys burgers. The fries also look a bit over cooked. The Check: I was presented a digital check with tip options 20, 22, & 25%. There's no 15% or even 18%, just too much. I tried to do the custom tip 18% but it came out 18 dollars instead, now I am at 30%. With the waitress hovering over me, holding the digital check & watching me the whole time, I felt pressured, embarrassed & then rushed to select the 20% from the default tip choices just to get it over with so I can run out of there. After a star off from each one of the above, I am left with 2 stars, not a great experience. The big fibers

The ambience, food and service were really good for a snowy day. We went to celebrate my kids' bday with family friends. We got bread service which was delicious with 3 different dips. We also got bang bang shrimp which disappeared in a moment. For entrees we got chicken and mushroom ravioli which was the best, swordfish which was not great, papardelle pasta with meat sauce which is not my favorite. The kids got steak, ribs and chicken piccata with Alfredo which all seemed ok and less seasoned. But my drink was amazing, the blueberry hibiscus! Overall, lovely ambience, warm service, good food.

First time trying Burtons Bar and Grill. Lovely place with a kitchen where everything is made from scratch and am impressive GF menu! Server was lovely and attentive. I had the cheesesteak spring rolls. Three cheesy beefy spring rolls cooked to perfection with a side of onion straws. Perfect light meal!

Steak Frites
Kamal B.

What a solid choice that has absolutely amazing and efficient service with food that was 10/10! That steak was soooo good!!!! It was perfectly good the way I like it (well done) and topped with a delicious chimichurri sauce!! Them truffle fries were soooo good too!! (Imma get this dish again I swear) Side Mac & cheese was HUGE for a side and absolutely delicious! The grain bowl was a solid choice as well! Bangers around the table!

Fish and BLT
Michele G.

Nice location would good classic staples. Nice and huge location with outdoor seating. Very spacious and service was great. Enjoyed fish sandwich and BLt. Had a wonderful time and good food. Overall recommend

Samantha M.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. We chose this because of their attention to gluten-free and it did not disappoint! Everything was perfectly, a short rib grilled cheese melted in your mouth. My son enjoyed his burger. Reasonable price for an amazing meal. We will be back!

Fried haddock Crispy Fish Sandwich
Enit S.

Burton's is one of those places that I've had bookmarked for a long time. We have walked by it many times while visiting Evergreen shops and the look of it, from the elegant seating, fancy people dining, to the captivating smells of delicious food draw you in. Unfortunately, that's kind of where it ended for us though. We came in for a late lunch around 2pm. We were seated right away and were really impressed by the interiors and serviceable wait staff. All of that is important but what does it mean when the food isn't that great? I'm guessing that maybe it's because there are so many older folks that dine here and maybe they take sodium into consideration but everything we ate was bland - I'm talking like not seasoned at all. I ordered the classic salad and added salmon, asked for it to be cooked medium and it was soooo dry and just not good. The salad was iceberg lettuce and a few tomatoes, a cheap sprinkling of cheese and maybe a piece of cucumber or two. I know that things are tough, and I guess it's reflected in the salad toppings cause I feel like I pretty much paid $26 for iceberg. (see pic) The Maxx burger was good, other than being underseasoned. My brother had asked for french fries and got green beans instead but they were quick about fixing the issue. Also, we had to wait for silverware and napkins as it wasn't on the table nor did our waitress provide it for us. The fried fish sandwich and fries was just ok, also underseasoned. Overall, given the allure of this fine restaurant, we were expecting more, especially with the pricing.

Gluten free crab cake Benedict with home Fries
Paula E.

Burtons was a nice spot for a casual brunch. My friend and I met there at 11:00am. We have similar tastes, so we both opted for the crab cake Benedict, except she ordered gluten-free bread and I had regular with greens on the side. I'm not always a fan of crab cake, but the waitress said it was lump crab, and we were both glad we went with her suggestion! It was the best crab cake Benedict I've had in a long time. It tasted fresh, lots of juicy crab and it just tasted good. We each ordered a latte (I had her add mocha to mine) and it was good. The serve was good. Our waitress was very friendly and patiently answered any questions we had. Based on my experience, I'd be willing to try lunch or dinner, and would return for the same brunch.

Fire Cracker Shrimp
Tricia T.

My third time here and it was really disappointing. I am not sure if they change the chef however my steak was burnt . I have ordered well done steak the last 2 times and it was never burnt and dry. We had a large party and the servers did their best however there was alot of complaints about the quality of the food. The mango lemonade was extra sweet and the blueberry hibiscus was weak and had an after taste. The overall ambiance was really great. Very soft Christmas music and even though their was alot of people, it was not too loud . A grear night for a birthday Celebration

Ambience: they have a spacious contemporary dining room and a separate bar section complete with TV screens all over the place. Food: we ordered: Calamari - the portion size was average, but the squid pieces were small in size. 4/5 Pastrami Reuben - this was a bit too salty and oily. 2/5 Dry Age Burger - this was really good. The funkiness of the dry age flavor came through. The burger was moist and hit the spot. 5/5 Onion Rings - 4 jumbo fried rings of oniony goodness. 5/5 Service: super friendly and nice.

Server showed up quickly and took our drink orders. Menu is extensive and should provide plenty of options for everyone. (Pictures of menu included here) We ordered the 5 ounce burger with cheese and fries and the Texas hold em burger with bacon minus tomato and lettuce and fries and the French onion soup. There was a short wait till the soup came out. Nicely covered with melted cheese on top. The soup was good but didn't have the depth of beef flavor and spice texture that I was looking for. There plenty of onions, croutons, and cheese and overall it was okay. The burgers were well cooked and flavorful. They offered two sizes of their standard burgers, 5 or 8 ounces. The smaller size was just right for the person I was with. The cheese seemed to melt into the burger so it wasn't really visible. The hold em burger was large and had onion straws and three slices of very crispy bacon on top. There was a dollop of the bbq/house dressing and plenty of onions straws. The straws were nicely fried but not crispy by the time they reached the table but added a good dimension to the burger. It was good to leave the tomato and lettuce off as the height of the burger made it tough to bite into. The fries were disappointing. They had the right color for being fried and crispy but they were limp and soft. They are clearly are fresh cut from large potatoes but really need to be fried longer to get that crispy crunch you'd expect. Told the server that and was told to ask for the fries extra crispy. Overall not a bad first trip. We'll go back and try some other things on the menu and see what extra crispy fries are like.

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

We celebrated our first anniversary here and had a truly magical evening. The ambiance, food, and…read moreservice were exceptional, making it a wonderful place to mark such a special occasion. We both started off with mocktails, and they were exceptional. Unbelievable taste - light and delicious. My compliments to the bar master.

The staff seemed delighted to introduce each dish on the tasting menu, and were extremely attentive and professional. We're so happy Hartford has a restaurant like this.

We got hamachi crudo and I don't know if the supplier of fruit is in cahoots with la Croix but I've never had a slice of citrus taste so bland. The dish was in desperate need of some acidity. Foie was great, I think the only plate aside from the halibut that didn't need any tweaking. We also got the pour over and over as our first drink -- I am fascinated how a cocktail can be both an espresso martini and not at the same time. I wanted to love it, then I saw it and wanted to hate it - then was left feeling perplexed and intrigued by the experience. I think that's a good way to describe the evening, perplexing and intriguing and I'm not sure how to feel but I do not think I will be back for anything other than cocktails because it is frankly a waste of time and money. The place itself is pretty and very Instagramable. The service was fine. You have to put in your entire order at once because that's what the chef prefers which feels a tad pretentious to me -- kind of the vibe of the whole place. Two key words as a takeaway: overpriced and underwhelming.
