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.

I love the local places to eat, but this one was a bust today. Maybe it was just too early as I got…read morethere right after they opened. Ordered the French onion soup and the barbecue wings. Both were marginal at best. The French onion was lukewarm and the wings were dry almost like they were left from last night and just reheated. Looks like a nice little pub area and the waitress was nice. I have wings in my fridge that were fresher. Doubtful of a return visit.

Forget about Kentucky chicken! This Krispy Krunchy fried chicken is an echelon above! I have been…read moredriving by this place inside the Gas Man gas station for years, thinking, I should try that chicken. Well, today I was in the area and feeling in the mood for fried chicken. I stopped inside. The chicken was served by a dedicated staff member. They had a heated cabinet with all the chicken and sides ready to serve. 4 $ and change got me a large breast, a thigh, and a surprisingly sweet honey biscuit. They also had several other options for sides, such as steak fries, mac n cheese, and some other items. The employee slipped my chicken into a styro-box and had me check out at the gas station cashier counter. THAT CHICKEN THOUGH!! WOW! I wasn't sure what to expect when I bit into the fried chicken thigh, but it was heavenly. The first bite through the crispy crunchy crust revealed a juicy tender interior. This is the stuff dreams are made of. Moving onto the white-meat breast, I was expecting a drier more chewy piece of chicken. No way Jose! That was the juiciest, most flavorful fried chicken breast that has ever graced my taste buds. The biscuit was honey-sweet yet buttery at the same time. I could devour a dozen of those biscuits in the blink of an eye!! Don't tell my cardiologist, but I think this fried chicken may be replacing every other take out item in my diet!!

The…read moreatmosphere is exactly what you want when you're catching a game, plenty of TVs placed throughout the space, so no matter where you sit, you've got a great view. I grabbed a booth, but they also have plenty of tabletops and high-tops to choose from. The bartenders were super friendly and quick with service, even during the game rush. I ordered a round of wings and nachos, and both were spot on, crispy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing (or not). They've got a solid selection of beers which made it easy to pair with the food. Overall, it's one of those spots that makes you want to come back for the next game. Great energy, good food, cold drinks, and service that makes you feel like a regular. Highly recommend.

It is BYOB with a package store in the same plaza. Offers your traditional Thai fare with Laotian dishes as well. It has a mixture of Southeast Asian cuisine (Thai, Laos, Vietnamese). How do I know? Well, I'm Laotian. I may a bit of harsh critic due to eating authentic Lao/Thai food my entire life. Got the beef pho with all the fixings minus the rice noodles. Without the rice noodles it still cost the same so I should've just asked for it on the side. It was okay. 5/10 Chicken laab was decent but lacked authentic bit of flavor. They told us they could make pork laab but if you look at my two photos, they look identical. The "pork laab" tasted like bacon. It seemed like they just cooked the ground chicken in bacon grease and called it pork. I did tell the chef it was greasy and my thoughts and her response was, "It's pork, of course it's greasy." Okay, but you cooked it in bacon grease and tried to fool me. Pork laab 1/10. Chicken 3/10. Papaya salad cones Thai or Lao style. I asked for Lao style because I want the extra fermented fish sauce funk that I love. It had some shredded carrots and medium spice was great for me. They served it with ice berg lettuce wedge but I asked for cabbage (authentic way to eat it). Flavor was good. 6/10 Seafood rad Ma (lad na) was mediocre. Bay scallops and calamari were overcooked. Flavor lacked and was bland, even after I dressed it up. Shrimp was cooked perfectly. I prefer no muscles but there was plenty and only Chinese broccoli as the only vegetable in the dish. It would've been nice to see carrots in it too. 4/10. I ordered two identical dishes of this and I was charged two different prices; $18 & $19. Look at your receipt! The star of the show was the beef jerky and fried chicken wings! They were phenomenal and I'd probably only order the two apps with sticky rice again. 10/10 Ambiance is great. Decor is beautiful as they left it from the previous owners. Clean, average noise level.

The veggie rolls were unremarkable (as most are) but the peanut sauce that came with them was quite tasty. The portion size of the pad thai noodles was enormous. The tofu was well flavoured and moist. The noodles themselves were a bit bland and needed more of a kick (something that one could accomplish with the Sriracha on the table). The eggplant dish was full of veggies, which I appreciated greatly, but was overly oily and underflavored. The rice that came with the stir fry was perfectly cooked. The ambiance was lovely, replete with "lush" vegetation and some bamboo ornaments. The restroom was also clean and well-maintained, sadly uncommon in this part of New England. Service was good. The waitress was pleasant and the food came out quite quickly. Overall, it is highly unlikely that I will return, because there are certainly better restaurants if one were to travel a bit further to Middletown. This is however a good option in the Rocky Hill area.

Great for the warmer months when joined by a couple of friends. I am giving this a 3 stars because the last time me & my partner visited we did not get the same welcoming attitudes which we experienced in our previous visits. Another weird vibe I got was when I was ordering another round of beers for both my boyfriend and I -- my order was taken last despite standing/waiting at the bar before other patron's. I was the only woman standing there so I am not sure if this had something to do with it.... Definitely a college bar-type atmosphere. I will say the crispy brussels & spinach and artichoke dip were tasty and cooked very well.

The atmosphere is straight up bar but we still felt comfortable with our teens with us. It would have been fine with smaller children too as the restaurant seating is away from the bar area. The beer menu was fairly comprehensive. They have their own brews and have many local CT craft brews on draft. They also have some cans and bottles if that's your thing. I didn't notice any crazy rare lambics but that's not what we were looking for. We had a few hazies and few stouts and everything was delightful. Our server Anna was a seasoned pro. She knew the menu and exactly when to come by our table to check in. We had some pulled pork nachos and there was plenty to go around. The dry rub on the wings was delicious and the wings themselves were cooked right. Overall, if you find yourself in Middletown looking for a nice beer and some decent food, this is a great choice!

The food, at that time, consistently matched the atmosphere and made it a place worth returning to. Since its relocation, however, the experience has not been the same.

Unfortunately, it's lost much of the charm and appeal that made it special, and I find myself no longer wanting to visit.
