My favorite place for a hot dog or a burger! Don't miss out! A family owned restaurant that's been…read morearound for years!

This spot goes way back in my family as a favorite spot of my father's. At one visit about 20 years…read moreago, they gave him a logo'd sweatshirt. I had always loved the chili dog here and had a craving. Having just closed my Dad's estate, I figured perfect timing to stop here for lunch. Something changed. Maybe the way the dog was cooked? It lacked flavor so it was just eating chili on meat. The fries were nothing special either, they are just the coated Sysco food standard restaurant stuff. Service was fast and with a smile. But to pay a premium for fast food these days it better be good. Nostalgia will probably bring me back but I am in no rush.

This is my second time here! The restaurant is located at 160 Glastonbury Blvd, Glastonbury, CT…read more This place is clean and classy for a burger restaurant. The silverware is spotless. I love the really huge booth! I like the vegan options too! To start it out, I'm having a Saratoga sparkling water. I've never seen the smaller, plastic bottle versions. I like this stuff! They serve seasoned popcorn as a complementary item. That's different. It's quite fresh and very good! For my first drink, I'm having a Cosmopolitan. This is made with Tito's Vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur and a little lemon juice. I like the floating dried lime wheel garnish. Nice glass. This tastes perfect! For my first item, I'm having the Caesar Salad. This is made with little gems lettuce, shaved Parmesan (light), brioche croutons and Caesar dressing (light). Well, it's not tossed so I think I scared the cook when I wanted light dressing. Croutons are nice and soft. I like the dressing. This is good! For my next item, I'm having the Beyond Chicken Nuggets. These are eight nuggets. I've never had these before! I'm having the Mango Szechuan sauce and the Szechuan dry rub. Let's see what this tastes like! These are good! I taste sweetness but not very spicy. For my entree (burger), I'm having the The Great Beyond Combo. This is a burger made with Beyond Italian Sausage, pickled jalapeño, raw red onion (raw? Who the heck actually cooks it?) and Dijon aioli on a sesame seminal hero. I want it as spicy as possible. The Combo includes an order of cole slaw. It is all served on a warm, green metal plate. The cole slaw is served in a cold little bowl. I like it! I can taste the heat of the sandwich. Well, a little of it. It tastes great though! Yummy! For my last drink, I'm having a Chai Old Fashioned made with Evan Williams bourbon, chai, sugar (do they actually muddle a sugar cube? Nah!) and Angostura bitters. This is different! Chai and bourbon! It is served in a big, huge glass with a single, large, square ice cube to slow the dilution process. Great garnish! A star anise! If you eat it, there is a licorice taste. That's very original! Good job! What a great meal here!

First time a goldburgers I have always heard great things so I was excited to try it !…read more Located on main st in Newington , they have a few seating inside and outside as well . The staff was very nice when I asked what's recommended . For the first going I obviously had to try the gold burger . The gold burger was really good ! I really enjoyed it . I liked that the burger patty's were thick and juicy well made ! The ingredients were fresh and the gold burger comes with chips in the burger for some extra crunch and the gold burger sauce which I loved ! So highly recommended especially if it's your first visit . I also ordered the side of large fries ! And they are LARGE . We were easily able to share among 4 of us . ( they also gave us the option to mix two flavours and we chose regular and sweet potato ) both really good in my opinion. We were also able to try the Mac sauce with the fries that does have a little kick to it ( but not too spicy .. I have a low tolerance for spice and I was able to handle it ) Overall a great experience can't wait to be back and try some other burgers !

We were looking for a place to eat after a morning of softball games. Artisanal Burger Company…read morecaught my eye. I was curious about what constitutes "artisanal". 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. The funkiness of the dry age flavor came through. The burger was moist and hit the spot. 5/5 Onion Rings - 4 jumbo fried rings of oniony goodness. 5/5 Service: super friendly and nice.

Stopped in for lunch and we're seated immediately. Combination of booths and tables for seating…read more Chairs are comfortable but they are low for a tall person (table comes about lower chest height). 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.

This is my newest post-bowling hangout place! I have a rare chance to grab a drink and some food on…read morethe way home tonight from bowling. The restaurant is located on 389 Main St. in East Hartford. Their kitchen is built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. Their appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed our kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! You just can't go wrong. The bartender here os dining the best I've ever interacted with. He welcomes me, shakes my hand and engages in small talk. You can't ask for more than that! I'm also enjoying the live music from the band. For my first drink, I'm having the new Harvest Cider made with Spiced Honey Spirit, Woodford Reserve bourbon, fresh lemon juice, apple cider and Angostura bitters. It's nicely garnished. It's not very strong due to being served in a 16oz glass, but that's to be expected. It tastes really good overall and is nicely garnished with a maraschino cherry floater. For my first item, I'm having a Side House Salad. This is made with a spring mix, basil, tomatoes, julienned (sliced) carrots and a red wine vinaigrette. This is absolutely delicious! This a big portion size too! I love their creamy dressing! For my appetizer, I'm having the House-made Soup of the Day. I'm told it's a Beef Barley. I had vegetable barley for lunch. Let's see how this tastes! Extra spicy, of course. THIS IS THE BEST BOWL OF BEEF BARLEY SOUP I HAVE EVER HAD! It is absolutely huge and spicy as can be! It's super hot too and a HUGE portion! I mean HUGE! Wow! There is just no better than this! They have open mike here tonight! This place is famous for live music! These guys are good! I could stay here all night! For my next drink, I am having the Smoked Quince made with Quince Fruit Spirit, Mezcal (the smoke), Sage Liqueur and fresh lemon juice. Let's see how this goes. It's nicely garnished with a lemon wedge garnish. This is great! I love this! It's like a smoky margarita. It's strong too! Now you're talkin'! For my entrée, I'm having the Fra Diavolo which is homemade sausage and shrimp in a spicy sauce (very spicy for me) with onions, garlic and roasted red peppers over rigatoni. I'm adding my own hot peppers to this for some added heat. Look at the size of this plate! This tastes great! It super hot and spicy! This is the best!!! For my final drink, I'm having the Blackberry Lemon Drop made with Deep Eddy Lemon, Wild Moon Lavender, fruitful blackberry and a splash of sour. This drink was made just perfect! Look how it is filled to the very rim with just a fraction of an inch to spare! The bartender got it perfect! He is good! The taste of this drink is absolutely perfect! I cannot ask for more! Great job here! What a fantastic experience! It doesn't get any better! What a great meal here!

Lastly it's located in the State House Square food court which can be loud if it's full but this day had a nice quiet feel to eat to enjoy a peaceful meal.
