Bruschetta with peaches and burrata.
Barbara B.

Another perfect lunch! My friend and I shared the burrata, peach bruschetta and the beet salad. My only complaint was I wish it had more crispy prosciutto! The flavors all blended perfectly and it was plenty big enough for two. We also split the small beet salad which was perfect. After our relatively healthy lunch we decided to share the peppermint bark cheesecake which we agreed was delicious mouthfuls of chocolate ,peppermint with just a touch of cheesecake! I appreciated that both my cups of coffee were freshly brewed I look forward to my visits to this wonderful place and glad it's a perfect 1/2 way meeting place for me and my dear friend.

Burger Special
Ben S.

We had planned to go somewhere else but it was late on a Saturday night and that place was busy so we last minute pivoted to here. Upon arriving we'd realized we'd eaten at this restaurant before (when it was in a different location) and eaten in this building before (when it was a different business). Caesar salad appetizer was excellent. Kids Mac and cheese was maybe one of the best Mac and cheeses we'd ever had, kids or not. And it was great as a pizza topping. My wife and I split a wagyu burger and The Craft Pie. The burger we believe we got someone else's, it was missing the espresso aioli and prosciutto jam. It wasn't until we finished it that we realized it was way different than we expected. The pizza was excellent however. I could have done without the pears but so many other flavors that were excellent, though the real winner was the sour cherries. I'd come back again just for this pizza.

Miso glazed salmon

We have been here several times and tonight was the best service we've had. Austin was great. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food. Even my 12 year old. He doesn't like Mac and cheese but he ate it here. My miso crusted salmon with faro peach salad was wonderful. Oh I almost forgot about the baked Brie. I didn't have any but everyone else said it was really good. Bring a big appetite because the portions are a nice size. The feel of the place is comfy and a little rustic. It's a great blend. I do recommend making reservations as the weekends are busy.

Side Mac & Cheese

Craft Kitchen blends open, industrial charm with cozy comfort. The high ceilings, warm lighting, and mix of bar and booth seating make it an inviting spot whether you're stopping in for lunch or lingering over dinner. There's both indoor and outdoor dining, and everything felt clean, spacious, and relaxed. We stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon, and seating was easy. Our server was attentive, friendly, and kept things moving smoothly. Parking is shared with nearby businesses, so while it was fine midweek, I imagine it could get tricky on a busy Friday night. Their menu covers brunch, lunch, and dinner. You'll find a mix of sandwiches, pizzas, soups, charcuterie, and skillets. My friend ordered the sangria, while I went for their Pumpkin Pie Mocktail -- a seasonal blend of pumpkin, apple, and maple that was surprisingly refreshing and full of fall flavor. You could really taste both the pumpkin and apple coming through in each sip. For my main, I ordered the Smokehouse Platter -- where you choose your meats (pick 1 for $18 up to 4 for $40). Every option comes with two sides and cornbread. I went with Pulled Pork and Spicy Pork Belly Burnt Ends, paired with mac and cheese and fries, plus an added side of Mexican Street Corn. The hickory wood smoking brought out a deep, rich flavor without overpowering the meats. The pork belly wasn't exactly spicy, but beautifully seasoned, tender, and perfectly charred on the ends.The pulled pork was also flavorful, smoky and moist texture. Other meat selections include half chicken, jalapeño cheddar sausage, brisket (+$6), burnt ends (+$10), and a half rack of baby back ribs (+$14). The mac and cheese deserves its own shout-out -- creamy, cheesy, and comforting without an upcharge like most places (and definitely not Kraft). The cornbread added a nice savory touch against the sweetness of the meats, while the street corn was perfectly grilled, juicy, and full of flavor. My cousin ordered a burger and loved it -- juicy, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. Portions are generous; honestly, my platter could have easily fed two. I enjoyed the mac and cheese so much I ordered another one to-go -- always a good sign. Overall: Craft Kitchen delivers solid service, great flavors, and a relaxed atmosphere. The pricing feels fair for the portions, and everything tasted thoughtfully prepared. Perfect for casual meetups, family dinners, or laid-back nights out. Next time, I'm coming back for brunch.

Chicken bbq plate

We've been here several times and have always had a phenomenal meal. I love their smoked wings and their barbecue. Excellent flavor, well seasoned and smoked, not too salty. good portion of meat. I also appreciate that they serve the sauce on the side.

Maragarita & red wine cheers!

I had wanted to try Craft Kitchen for awhile but unfortunately this visit didn't work out well for us. I thought that having pasta dishes with red sauce or vodka sauce would lend itself to vegetarian options for my veg husband but all of their sauces have meat. I opted for the Mac & cheese with pulled pork and the Mac & cheese was great the pulled pork which was a hefty up charge was all fat and inedible I was sorely disappointed, my husband had the Mac and cheese pizza and he liked it, we both had drinks which were good and our waiter was very nice, but not a return visit unfortunately.

I loved the openness of this restaurant, very cute and clean. We had good service, delicious drinks, I ordered a steak with maple brussel sprouts and they were great. The steak was cooked how I liked and the vegetables had really good flavor. I'd love to come back next time I'm in the area.

3 meat Pick Three Platter

Came in for lunch, ordered 35 dollar 3 meat combo came with half chicken, pulled pork, sausage and side of mac, rice and beans, and cornbread. All i can say was every piece of meat was cold or luke warm and definitely made the day before, pulled pork and chicken where extremely dry and had almost no flavor, corn bread tasted store bought and cold out the fridge was very surprised as the reviews are good here. Will not be back.

The Craft Pie
Allison C.

I've dined at Craft Kitchen twice now, and I have to say I'm really impressed with their menu and the quality of their food. We timed our second visit perfectly with the launch of their new fall menu items, and also discovered they had recently brought in a bunch of new barbecue items from their Bird Dog BBQ concept. Everything is farm-to-table fresh! The servers have been friendly and attentive both times, and the restaurant has a nice laid back vibe. I hope to come back soon to try even more menu items!

Poutine
Matthew D.

This place is amazing, come for drinks and stag for food or come for food and stay for drinks! Both are amazing! The smoked old fashioned is a nice touch, smoked right in front of you! The poutine is one of the best poutines I have had in a long time, the brisket is so tender and moist, add that to the curds, gravy and hand cut fries! Service was on point! Looking forward to dining again soon!

Stefan C.

The best way I can describe Craft Kitchen is tastefully rustic. Every decor piece fits together like a puzzle, creating a cohesive experience. I loved the glassware because it had an embellished stem and held a lot of liquid. It was light to hold and well-made. My martini was mixed quickly in the cocktail shaker, so it was served strong and not very cold. The olives were extraordinarily crunchy, and this hardness took away a bit from their overall enjoyment. They did have a nice salty flavor. My BLT was served on a deliciously seasoned crispy roll. Unfortunately, since my fries were limp and soggy, they were inedible. Another highlight was the house-made pickles served paper thin with a delicious brine. The bartender was good-natured and a pleasure to interact with. He also provided fantastic service.

This place was busy, busy, busy, and it's only a Wednesday night!…read more My friend and I checked in, grabbed a booth, and we both ordered the whole belly clams with the soda. The meal comes with french fries or onion rings. I ordered the french fries regular, though sweet potato fries were an option, Service was attentive, and with a smile, Our sodas arrived quickly after the order was placed. Within 10 minutes, our meals arrived! I received a generous portion of whole belly clams, but the clams were on the small side, and it seemed like there were clam strips in with the order. I wasn't ready to see so many strips. Lightly fried to a golden brown, , the batter was on point, seasoned perfectly The whole belly clams seemed like they were missing something tonight, I didn't really taste the ocean or that nice sea flavor in them. They were just OK. But whole bellies are whole bellies and I've never had a bad whole belly. So two whole belly meals with two sodas were $75 and change. I left $90 and change, including the tip. I love coming here as Sam the Clams is just a real honest place, not pretentious ore bougie. It's more blue collar hard hitting, with real good food. Thanks again, Sam the Clam's, see you soon!

I love Southington. Born and raised here. When I return, I feel like I'm home…read more It goes to a whole new level when I meet friends at Anthony Jack's. Anthony Jack's ... it's like home, on steroids! It feels like family in here. And that's an awesome vibe. This place isn't for blue hairs only. Being I was here today for lunch, it was a younger crowd, along with children of the younger crowd. This was really nice to see Meeting great friends from Southington here for lunch, even though there are other choices, Anthony Jack's is a solid local favorite. Not only for me, but for the many. Today I was in the mood for a burger, and I ordered the $13 burger which arrived cooked medium, along with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. This was all served on a wonderful fluffy soft fresh roll. Chef chose a great roll to serve this burger on. The hamburger patty was not the frozen type cheap stuff; this was fresh ground beef, and hand formed. A quarter pound it seemed, and grilled with a nice charcoal flavor to it. It was very juicy and hit the spot. Also included with crispy well seasoned french fries and a little salad with house dressing. For $13 this was an excellent value. Our server, Brianna, was very very cheerful knowledgeable of the menu, and of course, very attentive to our needs. To say our service was perfect would be an understatement. I wish other food establishments had servers like Brianna. She's really that good. Restrooms, of course were clean, as usual. Parking was a breeze out front, but there are also many parking spaces at the rear of the restaurant and utilize the restaurant's back entrance. It was nice to come back home. And it was just as nice to return to Anthony Jack's. Anthony Jack's .. until I see you again, you left me with a smile and full. If you are attending Music on the Green, Wednesday nights this summer, consider Anthony Jacks a great place to pregame! Their martini list is fantastic!

My husband decided to go here for his birthday. He read the reviews, close to our house. All great…read moreideas. We tried to call to make a reservation. No one was answering. We still went and got seated right away. Our waitress was very nice and she offered a complimentary dessert for his birthday which was also very nice. We shared the buffalo chicken tenders for the appetizer and everyone loved it. The drinks, mocktails and entrees were missing something I'm afraid. No seasonings, I rarely add salt at the restaurant , I had to do it here. Not sure how the kitchen is setup but at the window, the 2 people there, were looking in the dining room more than the kitchen so I didn't get the setup. The only good dish was the pasta and the parmigian potatoes.

The first time we ate here, the food was really great. I really appreciate an inspired menu and you…read morecan tell that the staff have a passion for what they are doing. We couldn't wait to come back. Several months later on our second visit, we arrived well before their posted closing time - 9pm. It was around 7:45pm, the lights were on, but the door was locked and the staff seemed to be cleaning up. One of them looked up, saw us standing at the door and then went back to doing whatever they were doing without bothering to engage with us. It was incredibly frustrating having driven almost an hour with the expectation of getting some delicious food, only to be ignored by staff at a time when they were supposed to be open. Many months later (giving them the benefit of the doubt that the early closure on our last visit was a fluke) we made the trip up again. We arrived to find the place was locked up and dark - again during a time when they were supposed to be open. Today I was with some friends and we stopped to have lunch at Smokin' With Chris next door. During our meal, I mentioned my past experiences with The Lab, but also said how good the food was. So, we walked over to look at the menu and possibly pick up dinner for later that evening. It was around 1:30pm, the lights were off and the door was locked. I double-checked their website, and they were supposed to be open at 11:30am. While I was on my phone, an employee came up, unlocked the door, turned on the lights and began his shift - two full hours after they were supposed to be open! WTF?! Apparently, the owners of The Lab seem to believe that their food is so epic that they can just operate their business whenever they like regardless of their posted hours. This total lack of consideration for their customers is beyond insulting. It's really too bad because the food is good, but not good enough to offset the unprofessional manner the owners are running (or in this case, not running) this place. There are way too many other great dining options available nearby that actually adhere to their posted hours to put up with this nonsense.

Messy, dripping with flavor just like I like the food haha. The atmosphere is fun and cute, cool inside with art for sale. And outside you can sit and check out other stores around.
