Loved the texture, meatiness and flavor of the Mango Habanero Fried Wings. The Collards were a couple steps above the norm. Very good Mac.

I grabbed a booth, but they also have plenty of tabletops and high-tops to choose from. The bartenders were super friendly and quick with service, even during the game rush. I ordered a round of wings and nachos, and both were spot on, crispy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not). They've got a solid selection of beers which made it easy to pair with the food. Overall, it's one of those spots that makes you want to come back for the next game. Great energy, good food, cold drinks, and service that makes you feel like a regular. Highly recommend.

The Highlights: * Proportions: Excellent meat-to-topping ratio. They don't skimp on the steak, which is always the biggest test. * Flavor: The cherry peppers added a great kick that cut through the richness of the meat and mayo perfectly. * Quality: A really solid, hearty sandwich that feels worth the order. One Small Note: The full sub comes as one continuous sandwich. If you're looking to split it or just prefer smaller halves, you'll want to grab a knife or ask them to slice it for you, as mine came uncut. Overall, a great lunch spot if you're craving an authentic-feeling Philly. I'll definitely be back!

AJ's Oasis is a dive bar in Meriden, which was on my Radar because it's in the Wing Addicts' CT…read moreWing Trail. I was looking for a spot to get takeout wings before a noon football game, and I noticed AJ's was open at 9 AM. That's dedication. LOL. Sure enough, there were between 5 and 10 people there eating breakfast and/or getting a drink the entire time I was there from about 10:45 to 11:15. They serve breakfast all day btw. I ordered 7 wings each of the following flavors: Hot Honey Buffalo, Cajun Dry Rub, Raspberry Chili, and Peanut Butter with a side of Spicy Grape Ape. The wings weren't breaded per se, but they seemed to be a bit flour dusted, in a way that worked well. The wing's weren't especially sauced, but the the outer texture of the wings really captured the flavor of the sauces and the wings were all really tasty. The wings were meaty and had good texture. I would definitely return for wings. I also got a bowl of chili for my son. I had a bite. It was a meaty ground beef and bean style chili with maybe a medium dose of Tabasco or another similar hot sauce. They topped it with melted cheddar. It was better than I would have expected for sure. Service was friendly. They have pool and darts. I assume the vibe changes upon time of day. It was pretty chill and "come as you are" while I was there. 4.25 Stars

There was literally NO flavor, even with the pepperoni. The crust was even tasteless... The wings were okay, the had more flavor than the pizza, but were dry I gave it another go as leftover, hoping they would be better. They were not. This whole order unfortunately went into the trash.

The wings were a little bit better than the pizza but still not satisfying. On another note I contacted slice the app I ordered the food from and told them about this issue and they reached out to the restaurant and they said they couldn't do anything. Long story short save your money and order somewhere else.

Tried Angelina's for a late lunch. We called in the order and by the time we arrived our meal was…read moreready for pick-up. The restaurant is very small, set up more for takeout. They do advertise for combo deal's, slices, $1 wings. Angelina's is directly across the street from Hubbard Park too. I'd assume people grab and go to the park. We ordered a simple cheese pizza and a chicken cutlet sandwich. The pizza was fresh, melty cheese with tasty Italian spices and perfectly cooked crust, but wasn't anything special. There are many other pizzerias in the area so it comes down personal preference and price. The chicken cutlet sandwich was a decent size and delicious. We were happy with the portion sizes, quality, and price. Our total was about $23 and we had leftovers (this was for 2 people). We will likely order again and will think of this place if we plan to have pizza for a gathering.

I frequently visit Hubbard Park to walk my dog so I have passed this pizzeria numerous times since…read moreit reopened as Angelina's. On a recent Saturday I finally stopped in for their $6.50, 2 slice pizza deal that comes with a 20 ounce Coke. The pizza is New Haven style and baked in a wood fired oven, need I say more? The slices were delicious and likely the best in the immediate area so I will be returning in the not too distant future. One word of caution - be prepared to pay an additional 4% over menu prices if you choose to pay by credit card.

Outstanding Experience at Taíno Prime…read more Taíno Prime delivers excellence on every level. The service was outstanding and the food was absolutely excellent--flavorful, beautifully prepared, and consistently impressive. The location is also a huge plus, with easy access from all parts of Connecticut. They are especially wonderful to work with for events--professional, flexible, and truly accommodating. Lisa, the banquet manager, personally called to discuss event details and provided truly upscale, attentive service, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. A special shout-out as well to Chris, the owner, for running such a top-notch establishment. Highly recommend Taíno Prime for both dining and special events.

We had been here once before so I chose this over Hop Haus due to the extensive burger options. We were told to sit wherever and someone would be with us. After we found seats and sat down for a few minutes, then friends of the server/bartender came in. They were excited to see each other, so of course they were greeted and served drinks before us. Not a huge deal, but I noticed it and it made me feel like we may be put on the back burner for the rest of our time. Our burgers came out on a large English muffin, mine happened to be burnt. It took ten minutes to get the servers attention again to let her know that the burnt English Muffin needed to be replaced. The burger was good after they replaced the English muffin. The delay in service is what completely threw me off. Even making better eye contact with the dining area when bartending would have helped so I didn't have to wait for 10 minutes to let them know my bread was burnt. I didn't want to eat it that way so I waited. It took time to pay the bill as well. We left at 4:30pm. Maybe today was an off day. The food was good though.

We've been here many times and have always had a good experience in the past. Even if there was a…read morehiccup here or there, it remained on our list. Today was like a bad movie. We assumed the place would be packed as we headed in to watch the 1:00 game. But it was dead. Which we were kind of relieved because we weren't worried about finding a table but also kind of perplexed because any other place that serves wings on a Sunday during football season is bursting at the seams. We walked in and stood at the hostess station waiting to be seated for about 5 minutes and didn't see an employee at all. My husband finally just walked over to the bar area and spotted someone around the corner. He asked if we could sit and she was somewhat agreeable to the idea. Thankfully our server McKenna was a delight. She was attentive and efficient. The French onion soup was fantastic. The wings were fine but not as good as I remember. They used to have a crisp to them. Now they are just kind of soggy. The kids liked their chicken tenders although I thought it looked like they had been in the fryer a tad too long. I could get past all that except I can't overlook the lack of management and the terrible bartender. We observed multiple people come in and stand at the hostess station for excessive amounts of time before anyone bothered to greet them. There were people at the bar with empty drinks and the bartender was standing around the corner on her phone while people waited. It was just a bad movie unfolding before our eyes. It was an experience for sure. This place used to be and could be amazing - they just need better hands on management and something to draw the crowd in on Sundays. We might come back if we see any chatter about new management, but until then it's probably off our rotation.

I have eaten at Hop Haus twice and also went for drinks only in the past. While I was excited about…read morethe gastro pub in Berlin, it didn't meet my expectations this last time I went. The good: The restaurant has plenty of beer and drink options as well as a nice selection of appetizers (pretzels, wings, potato chip nachos, etc). The decor was great and I liked the space. However, there were quite a few fruit flies hovering at our table so that was annoying. The not-so-good: The first time we ate there, we got burgers and fried chicken sliders. It was decent bar food. We just went this past Saturday for dinner. Ordered drinks, wings as an app, I ordered the bronzed Salmon/risotto special and my husband ordered the Cuban with a side salad. Wings were a good size and the sauce was tasty. However, neither of us were that impressed with our entrees. The Cuban sandwich was not your traditional Cuban - it had a lot of ingredients which is good, but was also hard to eat as it was super greasy and got all over his hands. My salmon was cooked to the right temperature but I didn't really care for the taste. The butternut squash risotto that is sat on top of was very dense and stuck to the plate. It was supposed to have cherry tomatoes and spinach mixed in but I didn't see any. Service was also lacking - there were a number of times that we were waiting for a quite a long time while other servers were at the tables around us. Maybe 10 mins to get a box, another 15 mins to get the check, another 15-20 mins to get our card swiped. It didn't seem busy in the restaurant but we just never saw our server. I never even got a water refill. So- unfortunately this is off my list of restaurants to return to unless we are just getting drinks and apps.
