If I were a student at Quinnipiac, this would be my spot! The beer is exclusively brewed and sold on premises, so it was our first time trying it, and we really enjoyed it. Their food menu is huge, and while there's a lot of choices, we have to say they do everything well! Some elevated and international choices too that we weren't expecting, but everything we tried was fantastic, including dessert. That sampler platter is the way to go, and honestly Colten and I could've made a meal out of just that! We will absolutely be back!

I was excited to order the Belgium waffle with house made peach compote and fresh whipped cream…read more The presentation was nice and I was ready to dig in. This is where my food fell short. The peach compote was refrigerator cold but tasty, and my waffle was room temperature. The whipped cream was perfect. I figured out that the waffle was commercially made, not in-house but it should have been served hot. I was shocked that my peaches were cold. I asked if they could be microwaved but they didn't have one. I asked the waitress to pass along my suggestion and took my food to go. Once heated at home, it went down well. The syrup wasn't warm either. Good dish but not missing the correct temperature

We went on a Saturday morning and the wait was about 20 minutes or so. Not bad at all. Once we were seated we were surprised by how extensive the menu was. They have every type of French Toast, pancakes, omelets and even hot dogs. I decided to go with the Oreo French toast and it was fantastic. The bread was not dry, nor was it too soggy. Many places don't know how to get this ratio right, but they had it down packed. The flavors were great, portion size was excellent and for a really good price. I can't wait to go back.

Glenwood Drive-In is a historic family restaurant that opened in Hamden, Connecticut in 1955. It…read morewas founded by Rocky Stone. The property was originally a small drive-in that operated under a different name. Stone purchased the drive-in after working as a Tip-Top salesman and deliveryman. He renamed it "Glenwood" and expanded the menu, hours and the physical building. After Stone passed away in 1960, his son Frank "Wayne" Stone took it over and he continues to run it today. In the early days, the Glenwood had a walk-up service window similar to establishments such as Dairy Queen. Over the years, Wayne remodeled the interior and added an indoor seating area. The menu consists of staples such as footlongs, chili dogs, cheeseburgers, clam strips, lobster rolls, soft shell crab, fries, onion rings, and much more! Although the establishment is no longer a traditional drive-in restaurant, the Glenwood still hosts classic car "Cruise Nights" every Wednesday during the warmer months. In 1985, Wayne's daughter opened "Kelly's Cone Connection": an adjoining ice cream parlor business that is connected to the Glenwood. Although both businesses share the same space, they operate as separate entities. Kelly makes all of her own ice cream, hot fudge, waffle cones, ice cream pies and birthday cakes in house. Customers can expect to choose from about 35 different flavors on any given day. My family and I recently stopped for dinner at Glenwood Drive-In. Growing up in the area, I visited the Glenwood several times throughout my childhood. I also frequently accompanied my father to "Cruise Nights" when he still owned a 1971 Triumph TR6. On this outing, we ordered a variety of menu items including a "Chili Cheese Dog", "Footlong", "Chicken Fingers w/ Fries", and "Fried Shrimp w/ Fries". There's something about those classic menu staples that just really hit the spot. Afterwards, we headed through the adjoining doorway to Kelly's Cone Connection for dessert. It was a special occasion because the ice cream parlor was hosting a meet & greet with Spider-Man himself. The event coincided with the release of a new monthly special called the "Spidey-Sundae" (Firework 250 Poprock ice cream w/ golden Oreos, a frosting and sprinkle rim w/ a cotton candy web, poprocks, & a Spider-Man ring). My sons both had a blast meeting Spider-Man and eating his special ice cream treat. I tried a different monthly special: the "New England Clam Chowder" (sweet cream salted caramel ice cream w/ white chocolate "clams", dried mint, vanilla wafers, white chocolate shell). The presentation was immaculate and the flavor combo was simply divine! If you're looking for classic American drive-in food along with some fantastic ice cream, then head to Glenwood Drive-In and Kelly's Cone Connection!

I'll try to keep this short: the appetizers, the main courses, the drinks and the service were all exceptional! Not a bad plate in the bunch. Our server, Brendan, was knowledgeable and explained the items we had questions about. The octopus and salad appetizers were tasty and served separately so our table wasn't overcrowded with food and dishes. The main courses (a very large burger, a mushroom and ravioli dish and a spicy porgy and rice offering) were cooked to perfection and looked very enticing on each plate. We had booked for a table in the outdoor garden area which was a little misleading in that our table ended up being in the little alleyway exiting into the street but that was okay as the night was comfortable weather-wise. Dessert was a shared tiramisu served in a ramekin. Thought it might have been a little small for the cost but it was tasty and devoured in very short order. At no point did we feel rushed or forgotten which is no mean feat considering the size of the crowd both inside and out last night. Kudos to the chef and staff for a very enjoyable meal and evening out. Definitely worth a visit, highly recommend this place for ambience, food quality, and attentiveness of service. Stop reading, make a reservation, and just go!

The dining room was so loud esp when the bartenders were shaking drinks as if they were starring with Tom Hanks in "cocktail" We had the pea salad which was very fibrous and chewy (a 10 second Blanche wouldn't hurt) and the burger was tasty but served with frozen French fries, and way too much of them. Considering the style of menu, frozen fries don't belong on the menu. The fish was overcooked and dry. Overall, it's an inconsistent experience. Dinner for 3 was $200 with 1 shared app, 2 burgers and the fish course plus 3 drinks.

I think the stand outs are the nachos which have a delicious lime crema on top which makes them hard to stop eating and the jumbo pretzel which has a yummy cheese that goes along with it. I've had a couple of entrees including the quesadilla, the burger and the chicken BLTA . I would say the entrees are just okay and not very memorable. Again, I've been coming here every month for their last few months and haven't eaten an entree that makes me say "I must have this again." I personally haven't ordered a cocktail, but my mother has each visit and has been disappointed with her drink each time. She thinks it's the type of liquor that they use. Again, not my personal experience but figure I would share. My favorite item on the menu so far has to be the Butter Toffee dessert. It is mouth watering and I get it every time, highly recommend!!
