Super personable and super helpful. A definite people person who can immediately build a rapport with the customers. This is only my second or third trip to Fred's. The last time was probably 25 years ago. It was a bit of a drive from Hartford, but I am so glad I made the trip. If you have never been, you HAVE to go. The food, service, and location are all fantastic. As you can see in the photos, there is a good variety of food options, and it overlooks the docks. Coincidentally, they have MONDAY LUNCH SPECIALS, so my burger, fries, and small beverage was only $8 and some change! Therefore, I followed it with a raspberry shake for the ride home. :) This is a place you will want to return to again and again!

I'm not sure why I had to catch attitude from the teenage girl working in the window, but I guess that's neither here nor there in regard to the pizza being a quality product. Not sure if I would go back or not to be honest. I definitely don't need unsolicited sass to simply pick up a pie.

The portions are great and everyone who works there is warm and welcoming. I have been searching for years for good wings in this area. Astin J's wings are light years ahead of anyone else. They are absolutely monster sized wings unlike some of the places that serve teeny tiny wings. They offer tons of different flavors and I believe the sauces are made in house. I typically order either the garlic buffalo sauce or the garlic parm and both are equally awesome. The garlic parm fries are wonderful as well and they are loaded with garlic. The birria tacos are delicious as well. I just absolutely love this spot and will continue to support this wonderful local business indefinitely.

My wife ordered the tomato soup, which she also said was very flavorful. I had the hot and cold lobster roll combo and loved the option to try both styles. The lobster was fresh, generously portioned, and delicious! The cocktails were also outstanding and complemented the meal perfectly. The restaurant has a very cute, welcoming vibe and we stopped by between lunch and dinner times, so it was not busy. It was perfect. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Niantic!

I've been coming to Favorites since they opened a few years ago, but I've never gotten around to…read morewriting a review. They absolutely deserve one, so this is why I've come back over and over! Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the main strip of Bank Street is this Haitian/Caribbean themed restaurant. There's no private parking, but there's usually some street parking available. But once inside the decor is kept light, creating a vary open and spacious feeling. There's a flower wall of course with some neon signs and stuff. But if you continue all the way through the restaurant you can go right out the back onto their patio which faces the water! It's such a beautiful vibe out there. However, the Amtrak train runs along the water as well and every so many minutes you may get a blast from the train's horn. Lol. But the atmosphere is lively with good music, but certainly not loud. Service: Majin (sp) and her husband (the owners) are almost always present. You can find them in the kitchen, behind the bar or out front talking to guests. They're so friendly, personable and welcoming. KP is the bartender with such a bright and bubbly personality! Food/Drinks: I've been here about 3 to 4 times and have had so many things here. You can't go wrong with the corn ribs, conch chowder, any flavor of wings or the brunch tostadas! Value: Nothing too crazy. Not expensive, but not cheap. You do get your money's worth, I can tell you that! In conclusion, I'll keep on coming here. I love the atmosphere, location and of course the food! Check this place out if you're in the area!

We were in town for a few days and wanted to find a great cocktail bar -- well, we found it…read more The ambiance was exactly what we were hoping for: stylish, welcoming, and relaxed without trying too hard. They don't really have signage, so keep an eye out -- it's next to a Thai restaurant and definitely worth finding. Although we didn't eat, the food coming out of the kitchen looked incredible. The cocktails, however, completely stole the show. Every drink was thoughtfully crafted, and the espresso martini was especially impressive. What really made the experience stand out were the bartenders. Friendly, welcoming, and genuinely engaging -- exactly what you hope for when you're visiting a new town and looking for a place to unwind. Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.

But the seasoning on both the fish and the chips was incredibly salty. There was not enough ketchup for the chips or enough tartar sauce for the fish. I didn't finish either one.

The wife ordered the deluxe chicken burger, (for $4.99!) and I ordered the special brisket bacon burger. Both burgers not fried and very tasty. The brisket especially was totally lean, with thick crisp bacon and melted cheddar inside the toasted bun. I also ordered the chocolate cherry shake with large pieces of cherry and chocolate bits with whipped cream on top. (That was a bit pricey) The staff was super friendly and actually brings your food to your table. Plus, for you calorie counters they actually have the calorie count listed next to each item. Lastly, the place was clean along with the restrooms. And believe me, the wife won't use any public restrooms unless they're spotless. This is how hamburger joints should be!
