I also have seen on Facebook that they have monthly grinder specials. I was craving a grinder and was in the area so I decided to stop in. They offer a variety of things! They have snacks, deli food and hot foods, such as soup. I got a Genoa salami grinder which is my favorite. It was good but the bread was a little dry. Everyone was very nice. I look forward to visiting again.

Great sandwiches! I've ordered mostly grinders, and rolls from Jimmy's, but over the last year I've…read morebeen here multiple times a month. The turkey and roast beef are my go to lunch meats and they have generous portions. Love the horseradish cheddar they offer too. The food is high quality and they've never made a mistake on my orders or made me wait too long. I also appreciate the online ordering system they offer so you can save time. I don't live in Torrington, so for me it's really convenient. Highly recommend you try this spot.

I was very impressed with the service. My pet peeve is dirty dishes sitting in front of people and that did not happen! The wedding cake was delicious. White homemade cake with a light strawberry cream. My only suggestion would be to have had someone to serve all the pies. It was kind of awkward having to do it yourself. I definitely recommend Emily's for your next event.

They were helpful, responsive, and everything was clear and upfront. There were no surprise charges, or "gotchas". In fact they did several things beyond the scope of the contract without additional charges. More importantly, on the wedding day everything went perfectly. They gave us great advice on the set up of the tables, chairs, bar etc. They listened carefully to everything that was asked of them, made a couple of outstanding suggestions and dealt with the problems caused by strong gusts of wind at an outdoor venue with calm assurance. All of the food was incredible. The hor's d'ourves were fantastic, especially the brie and artichoke tarts, mini lobster rolls and tuna tacos. The mac and cheese in mini ramekins were also a huge hit. The dinners were equally delicious. I had the half chicken, which was served with a delicious polenta. It was absolutely amazing. Perfectly cooked, moist with a crispy skin. Other sides were served family style and were all fantastic. The dessert was also superb. Each guest received a trio of mini desserts, each of which was delightful. We had several guests with food restrictions (vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free). The servers made sure the restrictions were observed, and they made it a point to bring appropriate appetizers to those guests, which was a very nice touch. All of the guests raved about the food. The service was also first class. There were so many servers handling the passed hor's d'ourves that every guest had multiple chances to try each of the offerings. Service of the dinner was equally impressive. The venue is outdoors, and it is a bit of a hike from the kitchen tent to the dining area. Despite that, the guests were served quickly, and the food came to the table still hot. Finally, their prices are quite reasonable, especially given the outstanding quality of the food and service. A very good value.

I get the impression that greater care is put into the preparation of the food as well as the operation of the business than other, locally-owned breakfast options. The breakfast sandwich- add tomato and avocado- is fantastic and will keep me returning to Meraki when in the area. Thanks for being kind, calm and respectful. I also value the very chilled and relaxed vibe of the small restaurant- it's like stepping back in time.

I reviewed La Cucina on another thread and my rating hasn't changed. Three stars, and here's why…read more The crust is the star of the show. As a matter of fact, the crust is so good that the toppings aren't needed. Moreover, the tomato sauce is outrageously good and it hits all the right notes on my palate. The sausage was really tasty too. Overall, this pie was outstanding. Now the flip, this pizza is missing that authentic cheese pull. The motz has zero pull, and that's disappointing. I'm willing to bet that La Cucina uses frozen motz on their pies, which may be contributing to the lack or should I say "nonexistent elasticity aka cheese pull." With that said, To be fair... the lack of cheese pull was the deal breaker for me. 3 stars, that's a review.

The night of the party, Leah, TJ and Tim arrived on time and were so prepared, pleasant, fun and professional. They made the party so special for me, my partner and all of our guests.

Parking the car I happen to notice very nice outside seating in the backyard, and walking up to the restaurant, the wonderful smell of the different meats and smoker happening! I was hoping this visit was gonna be something special! I entered into this little restaurant and was greeted warmly by possibly one of the owners. My order was placed for a beef brisket sandwich, that includes a side order of coleslaw, for $14.95. The fountain drink was $3.50. So for $20, I felt this was not a mistake driving all the way out here Let me tell you, the beef brisket had a lovely char ring, with pink juicy color inside . This generous portion was served on a lovely soft sandwich roll, along with the requested spicy barbecue sauce on the side. The juiciness and taste of this wonderful beef brisket exploding in my mouth told me I made a wonderful choice. Also accompanying the sandwich was a small order of coleslaw, that was both sweet and vinegary, with nice crunchy cabbage. This was delicious also. The service was extremely quick, almost like it was fast food, I think the sandwich was served me within two minutes. This was unexpected and appreciated. If you're looking for a quick lunch, Zach and Lou's would be a great choice. The inside of the restaurant was clean and simple. A few tables inside, but the outside seating area looked very inviting to just sit and enjoy a lunch. It was just too hot for me on this day. The restroom was neutral, and extremely clean My thoughts are, if you are in the northwest Hills craving some really good barbecue, this would be a good destination. The menu was short and sweet, with lightning quick service. I look forward to returning again soon.

The building looks like a house, with a large sign out front. There is indoor seating, with picnic tables out back for seasonal weather. There is also a restroom inside. Apparently they make enough food for the day and when it's gone, it's gone. The food is delicious, although I'd prefer fried chicken instead of steamed (personal). It was good chicken, but needed ketchup (is that sacrilegious for a bar be que restaurant?) The Mac and cheese was AMAZING with lots of cheese and mixed so the toasted top was spread throughout. If you like bar-be-que sauce, they offer sweet or spicy, and let you apply your own. Great service too, even though people kept coming in, asking detailed questions, they moved quickly.
