Really enjoyed the experience overall.

I'm not sure if it was a shift change or just timing, but even though the restaurant wasn't very busy, it felt like we were left a bit on the side for a while. Nothing major, just something noticeable. Also, while the food is creative and well made, some items felt a bit pricey for the portion size (for example, a meatball serving), so value may depend on what you order. That said, it definitely wouldn't stop me from coming back. Good food, good beer selection, and overall a solid spot.

Boy I hate writing this. I've been going to Bears since it opened up in its first location, which…read morewas shared with another restaurant in an old gas station/drive-in... it was PHENOMINAL back then. I would bring everyone there. When they opened the new location in Windsor , it was still great. It was a birthday outing type of thing. I went again last week, which was likely my final time. For the past few years, I've been giving it a pass... growing pains, maybe? But the food is not what it was. The succulent, juicy brisket that I used to dream of has been dry and cold for the last year or so (probably 3 or 4 visits). The burnt ends, which used to be as addictive, are now no longer made from brisket...but what seems to be cubed chuck...again, dry. Texas sausage and pulled pork are still ok, as are the sides. On top of that, they are always short staffed, and the staff that they do have is not helpful...not friendly.. Just a big NOT anymore. I haven't been to the Hartford or New Haven locations recently, but as far as Windsor is concerned, it will not be going back anytime soon. I don't mind paying the premium prices for quality food and service, but you are no longer premium. Please figure this out. My favorite place no longer exists.. and I really want it to return to the quality of the past.

It's just really good food. The baked potatoes are awesome! Prices are fair. Highly recommend.read more

Went in today to have dinner w/family it was 5 of us. They tell me that there's a cover charge of…read more$15. Like what? I've been here countless times since it's opened. Mind you every time we go it's $180 or so not including tip. It's 2 adults and 3 teenagers. We always get their rocking nachos and sometimes fried calamari. Their food is good the majority of the time. There's been a few times there nacho's been stale but I noticed last time that the portion was way smaller. I noticed since it's 5 of us and I asked them about it and they admitted that they made the portion smaller due to whatever I don't even remember what their excuse was but whatever. My kids don't like any of their bbq menu or sauces they really don't like the smokiness or the taste. My son likes to order their steak frites which is $35. Usually there's 2 or 3 of us that have that. Lately though I've change my order to chicken alfredo which I really like. They're sauce is nice and thick and hot unlike some places I've been to. Anyways when we went there today HUNGRY and wanting to get some food they told me there's a cover charge of $15. I told them we were there to eat dinner and my bill was gonna be over $150 but they said it still applied. So I chose to leave and walked out. I could've paid the $15 but I was making a point. Why should I pay extra $15 cover charge when that $15 can go towards a waiter/waitress tip?It was annoying to know that we already there hungry and ready to sit down and eat and their charging an extra $15 like there was an event or something. There was nothing going on. Who knows, I feel maybe bcuz I'm Puerto Rican they wanted to charge me extra. For as long as I've gone there the owner never has acknowledged us as regular customers. I don't want to give them an extra $15. Everything is expensive everywhere we go. Gas, groceries, everything. I could've cooked at home but I decided to treat my family out to dinner and they ask me for a cover charge. I don't think so. So I walked out and went to Maggie McFly's and paid about $172 w/tip. So I'm writing this review to say that they weren't going to get an extra cent out of me. Another person probably would've just paid it but there's been plenty of times that customers just go there to line dance or play bingo an are just not ordering anything close to the amount of money I'm paying. They're probably getting a burger and a drink so for them to ask for a cover charge when there are 5 of us for dinner is ridiculous and greedy of them.. I don't think I will be going back for in person eating

Cheap and good eats…read more Came here because I like the hot dog shack near Hartford and wanted to see how this place fared. The inside didn't change much from when it was a different dining space. Server was very friendly and checked in multiple times. I opted for the breakfast burger and the hot chip sundae. The food took a few minutes, but eventually the food came out. The burger was very thin, but everything was executed well. The burger patty, egg, and bun were seasoned and grilled. Cheese was melty, bun was buttered, and the roll was fresh. It wasn't a great burger, but it was treated as well as one could do with the ingredients provided. Same with the hot chip sundae. Basic cookie and okay ice cream with a generic chocolate sauce. Cookie could've been warmer, but the attention to detail was there. The price was cheap. Burger, hot dog, sundae, and sandwich came out to 24 bucks. It's not trying to be fancy grub, but that down home diner with simple food done right. Sometimes, you just need some grub and this place delivers in spades. It's not trek worthy, but it's a good stop along the way.

Interior is nothing supreme - older tables a little rickety but food is outstanding. Husband had the burrito that had bacon and sausage with hash browns (perfectly fried).

My daughter didn't like the pancakes but she's a picky toddler - we enjoyed. We think this is our new spot and can't wait to go back! Thank you!

I tried them again recently, and the quality looks like it's slipping. The waffle was not fresh, felt like a prepackaged waffle warmed up. The chicken wasn't breaded to be crispy, and the corn fritters were actually pretty tasty. The chicken was cooked well, and the portions were very large, but the quality was lacking. It's not bad chicken and waffles, but it is not as great as I once remembered. I am hoping my recent experience was a flub, but it's good enough for that area if you need your chicken and waffles fix.

I received three empanadas for just over seven dollars, presented over some lettuce with an aïoli sauce type dip So let me tell you, these empanadas were egg, bacon, and cheese wrapped in a pillow Philo type dough. Lovingly made, these empanadas were out of bounds delicious.! The homemade aïoli type dipping sauce was perfect for these empanadas. After I finished the empanadas, I found taking lettuce and dragging it through the aïoli sauce fitting. I finished the whole serving, wanting more! Drago's I wanted more! To say this newer restaurant is an institution would be an understatement. This place was hopping, with customers coming in and out constantly as I waited a few minutes for my takeout. OK! Here's the drawback... I loved the heavy duty carryout bag, but Drago's you need to put your logo on the bag! It would be the frosting on the cake Thanks again, Drago's Kitchen! I loved the experience. Until next car wash!

The servers were friendly and quick, and the decor is very rustic and clean. Good sized tables and chairs. It took us maybe no more than 5 minutes to get seated, not a big deal. As for the food, I cannot recommend that chicken and biscuit sandwich more!! The chicken was so tender and crispy, and it paired perfectly with the biscuit, the sauce, and the egg. I will say, it said on the menu it would be an over easy egg but I think it was more medium, but honestly it was SO DELICIOUS it really didn't matter. We also tried a BYO omelet and that was good! I think the broccoli was cooked very well, nothing felt raw in the omelet. I might have liked a smidge more cheese to help it all hold together, but again, not a big deal!! It was a standard omelet, I probably wouldn't get that again but I would 100% get that chicken and biscuit sandwich!! Also their prices are very good!!
