    Birch Beer and Iced Tea
    Jen F.

    Everything was delicious. Food was fresh and dressings/dips were so flavorful! Definitely recommend trying the Birch Beer if you've never had it before.

    We have been meaning to try this place out for a while, so glad we did! The restaurant was spotless and we sat in a comfy booth. You can get a burger, hot dog, wings or fries. We got a standard hotdog (mustard, ketchup, raw onions and relish on the side), and standard burger (American cheese, mustard and ketchup), and curry fries with chicken. The fries were a unique treat, enough curry sauce to cover the fries and chicken without drowning them and making the fries soggy. Good flavor that packed a punch with bring overpowering. Bottled sodas were good, and they also had iced teas and waters available. Prices were reasonable and the staff was warm and friendly. You rider at the counter and can get food to go or delivered to your table. Give them a try!!!!

    This was my third time to this location. The first time was on their soft opening - it didn't go well. The second time was a couple weeks later - it wasn't much better. However, third time is a charm. It seems that after some finagling with staffing and cook times - they have figured it out!! Granted this was during a weekday and one one other customer in the store - so not much rush or pressure. We order two burgers (Swissshroom & Bacon Cheeseburger) and one specialty fry (BBQ Fry). We ordered extra garlic aoli on the side and no mayo on the Cheeseburger. The staff was friendly and they executed our order perfectly!! The burgers were cooked perfectly, still juicy and seasoned. The fries were very well done hand cut one cook fries. The bbq pork on the fries was delicious and not over saturated with sauce. They even put the cold coleslaw on the side. I was happy surprised by my visit today and glad this this small recently opened franchise has hit their stride. Will return and hope they continue with the friendly staff and quality products!

    Bacon & Cheese Burger and BBQ Fries
    Connery C.

    I was going to the UPS store and decided to check this place out, seeing there was a free fry event. I bought a Bacon and Cheese Burger and a drink. Alongside these two, I got the free fry, which was the BBQ Fries. In a nutshell, Fries with Pork, BBQ sauce, and Coleslaw. The burger was solid. The fries, while not my favorite because I'm not a big BBQ guy, were cooked well and flavorful with the additions. Overall, a pretty solid meal. I would be interested in coming back and trying the other dirty fries.

    Truffle parmesean fries
    Kevin D.

    Yay! New place to try in my area! Had to make the trek to try the new place. Not as good as I would've hoped, sadly. The entire team was new and it showed. There was very little communication between front of house and back, which is bad because they are five feet away from each other. There was 2 instances of messed up food while we were there and it took the kitchen 10 minutes to respond because everyone was hyper focused on their specific task. Which is bad since none of them had the task to be a manager. Food was like five guys but lacking. Smashed burger with no seasoning, some fixings but sparse. Buns were potato rolls, soggy due to the burgers being placed on right of the griddle then immediately sealed in tin foil. Quality Control was non existant. Fried mushrooms were frozen and soaked in oil. Fries were cooked to crispy but not seasoned. This would be fine if they had a good amount of parmesean but they got more parsley than anything. The truffle oil also had no truffle flavor and just made the fries greasier. There's a lot of stumbling blocks with this location as of current. I would hope with time and experience this location will improve, for now though this place is a gamble.

    Inside the restaurant

    Technically this is a chain so the 4-star rule is in effect but while the reviews are all over the map they do a good job here. The few times I've been here it seems like the bulk of their orders are take out but they have some booths if you want to dine-in. Kind of a small space next to the Vernon Wing Stop but they make good use of it. Kind of a casual no-frills place with enough employees to handle the volume they do. It's mostly known for the different 'dirty fries' they offer but there are burgers, dogs and milkshakes on the menu. Since I haven't tried anything beyond the fries I may update this review if I do. For anyone that's read my reviews I'm not really a 'fries' person but the combinations they offer are unique, creative and there are plenty of them(17 including the 'naked'/plain ones). Service was quick and friendly and each time they had me out the door pretty quickly. The 'fusion' fries were an interesting try with shredded chicken, crushed peanuts and cilantro with a sauce made from hoisin, sriracha and their house-made garlic aioli. The next time I went I tried the steak and cheese fries which had plenty of toppings with the steak, cheese, onions and peppers you'd expect. The reason I'm not giving them 4 1/2 stars (or even 5) is because I think they could cook the fries a bit better. They come out a little too soft and lack the crispiness that would put them over the top with the other ingredients. Adding to that (or at least not helping) is the take-out containers they serve them in. It's kind of like a Chinese take-out quart container but it lacks the 'unfold into a plate' feature that those do, it makes it a little difficult to get a good balance of fries:toppings. It's also got a waxy coating that doesn't help the already not-as-crispy-as-they-could-be fries. So overall very good, will definitely try again and maybe see if there's a difference eating in or asking for the fries 'crispy' or well-done. Added bonus, every 'Fry Day' you get a free order of fries with purchase of an entree (and yes, most of the dirty fries count as an entree). Four stars!

    Pesto fries
    Marjorie P.

    Tried Jefferson Fry for the first time today. I was out running errands around Manchester & Vernon and decided to stop in. Clean fast food place. Placed my order to eat there & sat down. They brought it to me when ready - nice. I had the pesto fries. Pesto, chopped fresh tomato & a little Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. Pretty good and a decent serving. I brought half home for later. good. Next time I think I will try the chicken sandwich which sounded good.

Ambience: they have a spacious contemporary dining room and a separate bar section complete with TV screens all over the place. Food: we ordered: Calamari - the portion size was average, but the squid pieces were small in size. 4/5 Pastrami Reuben - this was a bit too salty and oily. 2/5 Dry Age Burger - this was really good.

Server showed up quickly and took our drink orders. Menu is extensive and should provide plenty of options for everyone. (Pictures of menu included here) We ordered the 5 ounce burger with cheese and fries and the Texas hold em burger with bacon minus tomato and lettuce and fries and the French onion soup. There was a short wait till the soup came out. Nicely covered with melted cheese on top. The soup was good but didn't have the depth of beef flavor and spice texture that I was looking for. There plenty of onions, croutons, and cheese and overall it was okay. The burgers were well cooked and flavorful. They offered two sizes of their standard burgers, 5 or 8 ounces. The smaller size was just right for the person I was with. The cheese seemed to melt into the burger so it wasn't really visible. The hold em burger was large and had onion straws and three slices of very crispy bacon on top. There was a dollop of the bbq/house dressing and plenty of onions straws. The straws were nicely fried but not crispy by the time they reached the table but added a good dimension to the burger. It was good to leave the tomato and lettuce off as the height of the burger made it tough to bite into. The fries were disappointing. They had the right color for being fried and crispy but they were limp and soft. They are clearly are fresh cut from large potatoes but really need to be fried longer to get that crispy crunch you'd expect. Told the server that and was told to ask for the fries extra crispy. Overall not a bad first trip. We'll go back and try some other things on the menu and see what extra crispy fries are like.

Server was friendly and very casual. I asked for her recommendation and was told their grilled chicken sandwich was pretty good. Strange given they use to be really proud in their bbq, but trusted the server and got the west coast chicken sandwich and swapped the bun for a lettuce wrap. Also got the tumbleweeds with a side of spicy aoli to dip in. The food came out after a little bit of a wait, but not too long. Took pics and dug in. The tumbleweeds were cooked well but really lacked in any flavor beyond crispy breading. It really needed a dipping sauce to give it any real flavor. The spicy aoli had a little zip to it and helped though. The chicken was seasoned well but overcooked. The Swiss cheese didn't really add much so I scraped it off. Bacon wasn't crispy, was welded to the Swiss cheese so I just scraped it off with the cheese. The heirloom tomatoes and pickled red onions were very good. Lightly salted and sweet tomatoes and briny sweet onions really complimented the chicken and were welcome additions. Avocado was okay, fresh and presented well. The food wasn't bad, but it did have some stumbles. It's a great venue space, one of the few country bars in the state and is decked out well to be the primo spot for county. It's not a great restaurant, but it's serviceable food and a nice staff. If it can really sell the events and nail those, then the food can be simpler and still do well. For now though, it's okay.

A stop on the way back to UCONN when I was a student there. The "go to" place after our kids' school events. Shortly after we moved to Manchester, over 38 years ago, the restaurant was closed for renovations. We were looking forward to seeing the revamped restaurant. Well, we were even more surprised when we stepped in the door - nothing had changed! Cleaner, perhaps new Naugahyde on the seats, but that mural on the wall was the same - those elves were timeless. When you sit down, you get a small paper cup of water. The menus are on the the wall - soups, sandwiches & ice cream. I'd always heard they had a patent on the way their cheeseburgers were made - a burger topped with crispy cheese. A must have. Prior to Covid, the condiments tray had ketchup, mustard & chopped onions. Now, there are packets of the condiments. No onions though. We shared an order of fries - crispy & good. I was too full to have ice cream after our meal, so we brought a half gallon (yes - a real half gallon) of our favorite flavor home - chocolate almond joy. Yum! Note - you need cash. No cards. There is an ATM in the restaurant.

But I'm always open to the idea that maybe I didn't get it right, and I eventually return. I recently visited the original Shady Glen, and I'm now a fan. This was my first visit to the original location, and perhaps that makes a difference. My other two or so visits were to the now closed other Manchester location. The atmosphere is a 50's style ice cream restaurant that also serves food. There are some tables. Some counter seats. Workers in old timey outfits. Definitely an old school vibe that they pull off. Service was friendly. I visited with two goals. Try a hot dog. And eat an Original Bernice Winged Cheeseburger. Probably the most famous burger in CT. SG uses CT's Grote & Weigel hot dogs. They split and grill them. They served mine sort of sandwich style on a long bun with a toothpick in the middle. Definitely an original presentation. They have no specialty dogs beyond the crispy cheese they also serve on the burgers. They do give you quality packets of relish, mustard and ketchup and a small container of chopped onions. I added all these ingredients. And it was a tasty dog. The Original Bernice Winged Cheeseburger arrived, looking like a monarch, sitting on a throne of crinkle cut French Fries. The crispy cheese design, with all those angles extending from the bun, is an engineering marvel. There is melty cheese too. The burger looked about like a quarter pound. Tasted good. I added lettuce and tomato. Both fresh. A one of a kind burger that has thrilled people for Decades. The fries were fine. The Cole Slaw, however, was top tier. There was more than just thin chopped cabbage. Kale maybe. Some other stuff. The dressing was tasty, and the slaw wasn't overly dressed. Shady Glen is a CT classic. Indeed, an American Classic according to James Beard. Who can argue with that? 4.25 Stars

Always would swing by around the time it would be closed, so today I made a special trek to give this place a try. The place was quiet, a few people dining in. Took about a good 5 minutes to be seated, a single waitress manning the entire front of house. I didn't look at the menu beforehand, so I didn't know what to expect. As it turns out, it's a burger joint. Well, more accurately a bar with bar bites that just so happen to be burgers and wraps. I opted to go for their burger flight, but was informed they were out of chicken. so I swapped out the chicken for another burger patty. Also got some sweet potato waffle fries, because why not? Food took about 20 minutes to get, which is a long time to wait for appetizers. but the food came out eventually and I got my pictures and dug in. The negatives first - The waffle fries were cold on delivery. They were made in advance and lost all their heat by the time the burgers finished up. Flavor-wise, not bad. the honey mustard dipping sauce was appreciated. Need a little bit more spicy zip though, was a tad too sweet. I wasn't a fan of the cheese choice, was a little too waxy for my taste, could've not been warmed up enough, hard to tell. also the bottoms of the buns were lightly toasted but the tops were not and they were also cold to the touch. However, the rest of the meal was actually very good. The burgers were seasoned and hand ground beef. they had a lot of maple bacon pieces on them and the pretzel bun was soft and spongy with a little crisp on the inside. the pulled pork slider was pretty good as well. the combo of tender, sauce drenched pork with cool, creamy, and sweet slaw lead to a very solid bite. And that to me is the crux of the matter. They do good food but they cut corners. some corners are fine to cut, and they know how to prioritize what matters most in a dish. The slow service was a bummer, and if they executed just a little better then this would be a nice place to go to watch a game and get some bites. There were other gripes as well. Their happy hour menu doesn't match their main menu, and you can order those items even if it isn't happy hour at a more expensive price. Nowhere is that mentioned, and some of those items would be awesome to have normally. I mean, fresh cut and fried chips with buffalo chicken dip? Yes please! They do fresh chips, they can easily put together a nacho platter. They offer chicken tacos, but they could offer beef tacos. The burger flight should have fries, with the option to upgrade them to other sides or flavors. Fries are cheap, and I don't know many people that would turn down a well done disco fry if given the option. Granted, there's not many real "casual bar" areas in that stretch of town. But there is a brewery across the way, and I suspect that they are actually owned by the same cooks. so it's effectively competing against yourself, and that's not a great idea. For those looking for solid bar bites, this place will do well enough. They can be a tad slow, but the food is pretty good. It's a small casual bar to relax at, and the food's pretty decent

Apple crisp with pecans & vanilla ice cream. Our server packaged it up with directions on how to heat up. We had it the next night at home - so good. Plenty of parking at Evergreen. Always a nice meal
