This has to be one of my favorite spots in Waterbury. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that…read moreI've visited this restaurant more than two dozen times. The staff here is always incredibly kind and they give amazing portions. They recently redesigned the seating area and have new chairs and tables, very stylish. I love getting the Chicken Gone Wild or Land and Sea. Although the sauce goes well with it, I tend to replace it with the Poke Sauce. Ever since trying it, it's one of my favorite sauces there. My usual is the Chicken Gone Wild bowl with white rice, mixed greens, without the seaweed and tend to add different vegetables in there. I've tried most of the boba there as well, one of my favorites is the Taro Bubble Tea, it reminds me of cereal milk if I had to compare it to something. Others I like are the Strawberry and Mango Bubble Tea, either boba or fruit jelly tastes good with it. This will always be a place I'll catch myself getting addicted to stopping by every now and then. I love feeling great after my meal because it contains both greens and protein. Love this place and is a great addition to Waterbury!

As usual, Yelp came through for me, and this spot was the second recommendation. Since I've been to the number one recommendation a number of times and wasn't in the mood for poke, I decided to give this one a go. I headed there for lunch with three of my coworkers. The place is pretty tiny and has only counter seating, but we decided to take our orders to go. The service was super friendly and quick, and it was definitely bustling during the lunch rush. I can totally see why it's so popular! I went for the burrito bowl and swapped out the rice and beans to make it a bit more low-carb friendly. I added steak for some protein and paired it with a Detox smoothie that had acai, berries, and almond milk. I'll definitely be back since they also offer wraps and açaí bowls that I can't wait to try. Another fantastic find!

The menu looked pretty good so we started with some apps. Beer cheese- definitely a different twist than I expected but it was great. Very flavorful, really beer forward. The bruschetta was ridiculously amazing!! The cucumber salsa was missing something but ok, needed some acid or heat. My disappointment started when they brought out our meal, (we still had two apps to go, I hate my meal coming out with or before the rest of our apps. I had the hot honey chicken and NE Clam chowder. The chowder was brown and was not what I was looking for, I packaged up to go. It was primarily the brown I assume the roux went farther than it should have or there is something else in it.. The hot honey chicken was ok, the chicken was paper thin , tasted mostly arugula no heat, no sweet... I'd switch out the bread for a roll next time and douse it with hot sauce. The cottage fries are out of this world and I would come back for beverages and those!! My partner had the biria sandwich which was fire, also had a salad which was really good as well. The cookies are really amazing! Actual Dessert- I am struggling with we opted for the Chocolate cake which was literally melting- did not think it was ice cream so not sure why we had a puddle in a box when we got home. I want to try other things, as we had some good and some not so good, so we'll be back and update again after another try.

Every so often when I go shopping for the week, I stop by Panera Bread for lunch. That's what I…read moredid today. If you do plan to stop by this Panera Bread, there's some things you need to know. The service is up and down and it really depends on which employees are working that day. Because I did a contactless order by using my mobile app, the men who were working on my order looked as though I had two heads. Now, I don't use their mobile app much, but for this location at least it seems like you are better off not ordering from your phone and just going up in person. However, it's not only for that reason. While they got my food items correct, I was supposed to get a drink with it and that didn't happen. Now, the drink itself, the Papaya Green Tea, was only a little over $3, but there needs to be better communication amongst the staff because not only did I pay for a drink I never got, I had nothing to wash down my food. And yes, there were plenty of people who came in before and after me today who got a drink, so there's NO excuse why I shouldn't have gotten mine! As for the food, I will say the food will at least fill you and is decent, but while they do serve it to you hot, it gets cold rather quickly. I will add that they do make good mac and cheese, and the flatbread chicken and bacon pizza they have is decent, both of which made up my order today. Just get a small helping if you get either. The bread is hard, but it serves well to mop up the excess cheese sauce from the Mac and cheese. As far as food I have had in the past, be VERY careful what you order! The smokehouse chicken has really cold chicken, especially if you order extra meat. Now the atmosphere is one of those things where it's suitable to some but not to all. If you're in a group of people who are, say, writing a novel, especially during NaNoWriMo's, then this serves as a great meeting spot. I know this because I attended a write-in for them back in 2017 when I did NaNoWriMo for the first time. That was a good night and a good dinner. However, if you're one of those people who want a clean spot to eat, go elsewhere. The floors I saw today were far from clean and in serious need of a vacuuming. Pieces of food were lined along the walls, which could attract ants or even mice looking for a picnic play date. I like the peace and quiet of the place, but y'all need to really run this place better is all I'm saying. If there was a way to give half a star, I'd give this a 2.5. However, I will be nice and give you a 3.

The store is family owned, clean, and well stocked. And now they also have a great deli at the back of the store. They obviously did their homework and invested in the best equipment and products to make delicious sandwiches, wraps, and salads. They're using very fresh produce, Napoli Import deli meats and cheeses, and fresh grinder rolls from Neri's Bakery in Port Chester, NY. I've been going in Grand News for a few years and the family that owns it are friendly honest people. They're putting a lot of care into every sandwich and salad that they make for each customer. Jay made an awesome Italian Combo grinder for me. It was one of the best I've ever had. And Diana made a crisp beautiful salad for me to take home to my wife.

The side of sausage was a generous 3 patties; they had links, pork or chicken sausages. My omelet was perfectly cooked, and the shredded hash browns were crispy on the outside and softer on the inside. Truly delicious. My friend Sia had a bowl of cheesy grits, a Spanish omelet with shredded hash browns, rye toast and a side pancake. Please take a peek at how huge her pancake was!
