My husband had the Smokehouse Burger, I had the BBQ Chicken Pizza, and my daughter had Spaghetti with marinara. The pizza was very good, the slices were huge so we had leftovers for 2 days.

Anthony Jack's ... it's like home, on steroids! It feels like family in here. And that's an awesome vibe. This place isn't for blue hairs only. Being I was here today for lunch, it was a younger crowd, along with children of the younger crowd. This was really nice to see Meeting great friends from Southington here for lunch, even though there are other choices, Anthony Jack's is a solid local favorite. Not only for me, but for the many. Today I was in the mood for a burger, and I ordered the $13 burger which arrived cooked medium, along with lettuce, tomato, and red onion. This was all served on a wonderful fluffy soft fresh roll. Chef chose a great roll to serve this burger on. The hamburger patty was not the frozen type cheap stuff; this was fresh ground beef, and hand formed. A quarter pound it seemed, and grilled with a nice charcoal flavor to it. It was very juicy and hit the spot. Also included with crispy well seasoned french fries and a little salad with house dressing. For $13 this was an excellent value. Our server, Brianna, was very very cheerful knowledgeable of the menu, and of course, very attentive to our needs. To say our service was perfect would be an understatement. I wish other food establishments had servers like Brianna. She's really that good. Restrooms, of course were clean, as usual. Parking was a breeze out front, but there are also many parking spaces at the rear of the restaurant and utilize the restaurant's back entrance. It was nice to come back home. And it was just as nice to return to Anthony Jack's. Anthony Jack's .. until I see you again, you left me with a smile and full. If you are attending Music on the Green, Wednesday nights this summer, consider Anthony Jacks a great place to pregame! Their martini list is fantastic!

We still went and got seated right away. Our waitress was very nice and she offered a complimentary dessert for his birthday which was also very nice. We shared the buffalo chicken tenders for the appetizer and everyone loved it. The drinks, mocktails and entrees were missing something I'm afraid. No seasonings, I rarely add salt at the restaurant , I had to do it here. Not sure how the kitchen is setup but at the window, the 2 people there, were looking in the dining room more than the kitchen so I didn't get the setup. The only good dish was the pasta and the parmigian potatoes.

First time here was awesome. A couple things unique to bbq spots are they had a full bar with…read moreseating, and an amazing salad! Fresh spring mix and nicely blacked chicken. I also got the kielbasa, it was just grilled not smoked, which was fine but nothing exceptional, I'd skip that next time and try a smoked meat. Pork belly burnt end were fall apart delicious. Looking forward to trying more options.

We had been curious about this place for a while but after ordering to go last night, we weren't…read morevery impressed. The Mac and cheese was like stick to your mouth goey, like velveeta type. The beef burnt tips had no flavor and even though the menu mentioned California bbq sauce, they put none on the plate. I did like the size of the country fried chicken and that the gravy was meaty but it still lacked a bit of flavor. The only item I was happy with were the collards. They were spicy and vinegary, different than what I'm used to but in a good way. We spent about $45 for two entrees and a side of onion rings, but again, just didn't hit.

The food took a while to come out as well. It was decent, not the greatest cheese steak I've had but certainly good. Their other menu options looked good as well, lots of different options. For a "bar" I would say they are pretty good. The all wood interior is a cool vibe and I'm sure at night with a live band this place would be great.

My baby is 11 months old and she goes "Mmmm" when she tasted the spoonful of Mac & Cheese, soul rice and collard greens. Each item in the bowl stand out on their own and then compliment each other well when traveling to your tummy! I highly recommend it. PROS: Top notch customer service, flavorful, interactive self order kiosk, clean interior, great music and visually appealing wall art & food presentation. CON: Limited off street parking due to a small and busy commercial area, and I'd like to see a couple kiddie high chairs now that I'm a new mommy I notice the need. Great place! Try it and bring your family.

I kept hearing about this soul food spot, so while I was in the Wethersfield area, I decided to…read morestop by and see what the hype was about; Soul Bowl's Restaurant. I later found out they have other locations as well. When I arrived, I noticed this is more of a grab-and-go spot. There is no seating area for dining in, just a small waiting area with a couple of chairs. Parking is street parking, so keep that in mind when stopping by. I ordered in person, and I have to say the service was quick! Within about seven minutes, my food was ready. As soon as you walk in, you can see the menu and even see the kitchen area, which I always appreciate because you can get a feel for how your food is being prepared. The employee who greeted me was very friendly and welcoming. You can also order online. I ordered the seasoned rice, shrimp, mac & cheese, and collard greens bowl. First impression... the bowl looked beautiful and was put together very nicely. Everything looked fresh and appetizing. The shrimp was sautéed in a garlic sauce and had great flavor. The mac & cheese was definitely a highlight, very cheesy! When I put my fork into it, the cheese stretched and expanded the way you hope a good mac & cheese will. The collard greens were good, although I'll be honest, I've had better. They still complemented the bowl and added that classic soul food feel. At first glance, I thought, "Is this going to be enough?" But after eating it, I was completely satisfied and full. The portion was actually just right. The price was reasonable and within the range of what many restaurants are charging today. What makes this place stand out to me is that it tastes homemade and I love fresh food made with care. My only suggestion: PLEASE consider adding cornbread to the menu (hopefully soon ). A piece of cornbread would complete this bowl meal perfectly! Overall, I would definitely recommend Soul Bowl's. Great flavors, quick service, friendly staff, and that homemade comfort-food feeling. I'm already curious to try more from their menu! What should I try next?

We were on a road trip and in need of a place to stop for lunch. I pulled out my trusty Yelp app…read moreand came across Fina's Kitchen and its excellent reviews. The small restaurant was like a deli with several tables inside and a lovely outdoor patio that really elevated its overall atmosphere. We placed our order at the inside counter and grabbed a table outside. Throughout our visit, we experienced extremely pleasant and gracious service from Fina and a young man, both of whom were cooking and delivering the food. Though this caused things to move on the slower side, they really had their system down to a science, managing our meals and the several takeout orders that I saw being collected. The lunch menu had various salads, sandwiches, and burgers on offer. I selected the Chicken Gyro, which used a real grilled chicken breast that had been sliced, rather than those pre-cut strips that always seem to contain fillers. The chicken was a tad dry, but the homemade tzatziki sauce, which was heavily infused with dill, helped to add moisture to the sandwich. I had opted for a whole wheat wrap, rather than a pita, and I loved that they had lightly toasted the completed dish, even with its inclusion of romaine lettuce and diced tomatoes. That method gave the wrap an improved texture and a slight crunch. I sampled a few of my companion's fries, which were thin, crispy, and had a real rustic flavor that resembled potato skins. They were great! Fina's Kitchen was a real gem, hidden among an industrial area and catering to the local businesses. It was a great find!

Parking is a little inconvenient depending on what time of day you decide to go but luckily we found a spot right in-front of the restaurant. We decided to dine in and it took about 25 minutes to get our food granted we did order 3 meals. I personally did not mind the wait however ordering for pick up would be much easier. Inside of the restaurant was nicely cleaned and well lit. The mural on the wall was a very nice touch. Would definitely comeback again and try something new!

The freshness of the food was next-level. Everything we ordered looked amazing, tasted even better, and was clearly prepared with care. The entire vibe was clean, bright, and inviting--great lighting, friendly staff, and plenty of space to dine in if you're not taking it to go. Here's what we ordered: A tender for our daughter (perfect size for a toddler and not too spicy) A chicken sandwich for my wife and me to split (crispy, flavorful, just right) A tender slider for myself A large family order of fries (crispy, well-seasoned, great portion) The standout: Sweet Heat Mac & Cheese with Chicken That Sweet Heat Mac & Cheese? One of the best menu items I've had in a while. My only note is that it actually tasted better after cooling down a bit. When it's piping hot, the cheese is a little loose, but once it settles--it's magic. Rich, creamy, with a subtle kick of heat that ties everything together. Customer service was on point, and everything was ready quickly. Overall, I give it a strong 4.8/5--nearly perfect. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and craving some quality hot chicken. Tell 'em Darrell sent you.
