Omg never a disappointment here. The food is off the chart great. You would never expect their food to be this great. Yes is pizza; flat bread and wings kind of food. But I swear to you is the bomb. Their pizza has so many pepperonis that you can make a second pizza with it lol. The prices are so low it's incredible. The place is very clean and staff is the best. Perfect for families; friends; or work events.

Okay I had to update my review. I play pool so I was forced to go back to Game Time. They have new…read moremanagement, all new staff from what I could tell. They moved things around and the pool tables are now in a great spot. Staff was friendly and accommodating, place was clean, soap in the bathrooms! Food? Very good!!! My only negative was karaoke being played VERY loudly on the same night they have billiards matches going on. Was hard to concentrate, can't hear yourself think. But other than that, pleasantly surprised. No longer afraid to return!

This place has bartenders that over charge. My friend and I bought each other drinks him a round me…read morea round. Total of 4 shots. After he left I had one more. When my friend left we noticed she charged him for all 4 shots. I was going to say something then but he said its ok he will pay for it. Left me his receipt just in case she charged me for them too. Which as we both felt was going to happen. Sure as the sky is blue she charged me for 3 drinks instead of 1. I showed her and she immediately got defensive call some lady that was worse cursed me out on the phone. I finally said whatever I will dispute the charge as I did not sign the slip. So if it is signed she then forged my signature. I ordered my uber and went to the bathroom. Then one of her friends came in and tried to talk to me. I told her friend that I am not in the business of having a convo with some random lady while sitting on the toilet. That pissed her off and then pissed the bartender of so much she called the police. I was leaving anyway. I waited for my Uber and left. Below is a picture of the bartender. Their funnel fries were great

Gatehouse Tavern [GT]. (2 stars)…read more "Stuffed clams (or stuffies) are popular in New England and consist of a breadcrumb and minced clam mixture that is baked on the half shell of a quahog hard shell clam.[1][2][3][4] Other ingredients typically found in the basic breadcrumb mixture are: meat such as sausage, bacon or chouriço (Portuguese sausage), chili pepper, lemon juice, bell peppers, celery, onion, garlic, spices and herbs. There are many different recipes for stuffed clams; many restaurants in New England have their own variety, as do many home cooks." - Wikipedia "Stuffies - $2.50" The sign caught my eye. I asked myself, "Self, what the heck are stuffies?!" I walked up to the cashier and asked her. She said it's a stuffed clam. Ahhh... In all the years I have been up to New England I never heard of "stuffies" before. Perhaps it could be in part to the fact that I usually frequent seafood restaurants vice watering holes when I am here... As I perused the menu I also saw a pastrami sandwich so I decided to eat here. I ordered the following: -Stuffies -Pastrami Sandwich Stuffies. (1.5 stars). Somehow I imagined this stuffed clam to have some texture & seasoning but not an overkill of salt & onions??!! The stuffing was extremely mushy & unpleasant to eat. I took one bite & didn't finish the rest of it. There were a few minuscule pieces of clam meat chopped up in the stuffing mixture but it was tough to even discern any real clam flavor. I'm sure the locals probably go crazy over GT's stuffies but I just am not a fan... Pastrami (Reuben) Sandwich. (2.5 stars). GT's pastrami sandwich is different from most places I have eaten at because they cook their pastrami slices on a flat top grill. The pastrami had a nice seasoning but some of the sides were a little too burnt for my liking. Instead of the usual 1000 island (yuck) I requested spicy brown mustard & while it was a bit messy to eat, definitely hit the spot on a cold day. The sauerkraut was nice & crunchy which I appreciated. The "rye" bread was quite soft & fell apart before I could take a bite into the sandwich. The rye bread tasted like sourdough bread... --- All in all, GT is a quaint little water hole that is located right across the street from EB (Electric Boat). In its heyday, GT & Elfie's used to be THE places to go for EB employees during lunch. Most of the other establishments in this area (including Elfie's) is now closed due to the fact that EB now has a "cafeteria" on their premise. The owner/bartender is extremely friendly & social which made me feel at ease. Parking is wherever u find it. Street parking is about 1 block away in the residential area. But the good thing is, if u find a stall, it's free!

Family owned forever. This place is a throwback. Like time standing still. Old timey and dumpy. Try…read moreit you will like it.

We stopped in last Friday on our trip up to see one of our kids…read more When we arrived it wasn't busy, as we came after the lunch crowd but before the dinner one. Food was good, not a fan of the cheese plate, but my husband loved it. Everyone's meal was really good we all enjoyed it, our waitress serving us was fantastic. We had to do a quick in and out as we were running late to meet our other kid. Recommend stopping in if you're in the area.

A Mystic staple with heart, hops, and hearty Irish fare…read more Friar Tuck's Tavern is one of those Mystic spots that just feels right the moment you walk in. The beer selection is always solid--plenty of familiar favorites plus a few rotating picks that keep things interesting without overwhelming you with choices. The Irish‑leaning menu is where they really shine. Comfort classics, generous portions, and that cozy pub vibe that makes you want to settle in for a while. Whether you're craving something hearty or just need a plate to go with your pint, they've got you covered. Live music adds a great energy without drowning out conversation, and the staff deserves a shoutout--they're faithful, friendly, and keep the place humming even on busy nights. You can tell they care about the regulars and newcomers alike. Not quite a perfect five, but absolutely a Mystic go‑to when you want good beer, good food, and a warm pub atmosphere. Cheers

The fillet was unfortunately overcooked to a medium well instead of medium rare. I did not send it back due to it being busy. The potatoes and greens were delicious! Staff was friendly! Overall still a good restaurant, if the steak was cooked to the correct temp it would get that fifth star. Food(50%): 6.7 Staff/service(25%): 7.0 Value(25%): 7.5 Overall: 6.9/10

One person in our group has multiple allergies, and while the staff assured us it would be fine the service didn't reflect that level of attentiveness. It ended up taking over 45 minutes for our food to come out. We were told there would be a 30 minute wait for rotisserie chicken and that salads with chicken would be substituted with crispy chicken, but we didn't order anything that should have required that kind of delay. During that time, we watched several other tables come in after us, get their food, and leave before we were even served. After our drinks were dropped off, our server never checked back in to update us on the delay. However she did check in after we got our food. I completely understand that things can get busy, but the restaurant was empty, and multiple staff members passed by our table without acknowledging us. Overall ambiance was very nice... the exposed brick, the cozy booths. But we won't be rushing back any time soon.
