After being seated, my waitress came over with a warm welcome and shortly thereafter, she brought out my drinks. Even gave a few recommendations from the menu. Now for an appetizer, I decided on their American Nachos. This would end up being a poor decision on my part for they came out far too fast, almost seemed to be only 3 minutes after I ordered them and so instantly I am thinking, "Was this order already made and just waiting for me?" The housemate chips tasted stale and the chili was lack luster at best. Had this taste of bland tomato paste mixed with far too much water and I sad little bean off to the side. I will say that there was plenty of jalapeños in this dish but the overall flavor and bite did not work. Visually, it looked bad and that should had been an indication not to go any further but I digress. Now my Double Day Burger was EVERYTHING!!! Packed with flavor and made with love! Two patties both juicy and well seasoned. Cheddar cheese making for a nice slide on the beef and 2 strips of maple bacon for that salty and sweet connection with a spiced maple aioli that was not only spicy but creamy and sweet. Let us not forget the fried eggs that only elevated the overall taste in the Double Day and something that I would definitely order again. Those crispy tater tots came packed with some fresh potato activity! They were crispy and not overcooked at all. I dipped them into the spiced maple aioli and the playing field was no longer fair!! It took the bite up a notch and I was a satisfied man. For dessert, I went with the funnybone - nice chocolate with the peanut butter ganache, creamy and smooth but I also went with the b cup, much like a hostess cupcake....Rich. chocolate, creamy and with as fudge like consistency, it all just worked together. Great Job to the team at Plan B on this one! read more

I was disappointed since I had heard good things despite so so reviews. We did get to go, so maybe that affects it but my fries were barely coated with the seasoning I choose. Also, very undercooked and floppy gross. The burger was mediocre and though its fat, lacked that wow. Would maybe give them a shot on something else somewhere else but for now, it was a let down read more

While visiting CT my friends suggested coming here for lunch before I flew back home. The service was good, but the food was just okay. My two friends got burgers and enjoyed them, while I had the burger salad. I was not a fan of it. The texture of the burger patty wasn't the most pleasant. It fell apart really quickly when I cut it up and felt like a piece of meatloaf on lettuce that was not seasoned the best. The cheese slices on top weren't great either, but I did appreciate the dressing it came with. It honestly felt like the salad was missing something when I realized I never got the crispy onions that were supposed to be on top of it. Maybe, that would have changed the taste and texture, but I will never know. It wasn't a bad place, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but I am not running back here. read more

Plan b Southington - Burger Salad - Burgers Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

We were up for burgers and so we went to Plan B in Southington. I've been here several times and it's generally the same experience. Very clean, great service, attentive staff, and burgers never cooked to order. They're good, don't get me wrong (not great, but good). It's just when they ask pink or no pink, the result is always no pink. Don't ask me then, just bring me my no pink burger They generally have great craft beers on tap, so I definitely recommend trying one of those. read more

I went here on a Monday night and it was very quite and relaxed. Not busy at all which was great. We started with the chili nachos which were made with potato chips instead of tortilla chips and it was quite good. Then I got the Philly Steak burger which I recommend and my friend got the Baja burger which was really good but it does have a spicy kick with whole jalapeno slices so be careful if you don't like spicy. I also suggest the truffle parm tots, they were perfectly crispy. It was a good spot if you're looking for a good burgers. There is plenty of parking here so that shouldn't be an issue. read more

Really great quality, Enjoyed my cobb salad and so neatly packed! Chicken was made fresh, good flavor to it. I liked that they made their own bacon bits but they were a little too well done. Overall a great salad tho! I like that you can customize everything and pick whether you want a burger or l chicken etc. Their burgers are very good quality also! read more

Plan b Southington - California Cobb - Burgers Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Plan B in West Hartford has been my favorite burger spot for years. We were in the Southington area and decided to stop at this location. The burgers and beer were equally delicious. Service was a bit slow but it is a pretty busy spot so not much to complain about there. I can never turn down a Plan B burger so I'm sure I'll be back to this location and any other location for that matter. read more

Visiting from Florida and decided to meet family at Plan B. Don't have one of these in Florida so I was skeptical, but I heard great things. They have great appetizers to start, many burgers to choose from and I was not disappointed. Cute place, with high top tables that are comfortable. Our waitress Jo Jo was the best! So friendly and always on top of everything. She knew went to refill your drink even before you knew your drink was low. Great personality and will definitely ask for her again when we come back to visit. If you love a really good, tasty burger, you got to try this place. read more

Went on Valentine's Day, burger and truffle fries were ok. Ambiance better with the live music performer. Waitress definitely had some attitude with us but unsure if this was just related to working on v-day. Overall, burgers decent but not out of this world. read more

Two Stars - Great Service, Disappointing Food "Plan B" ironically reminded me why I should always stick with "Plan A." The restaurant itself is nicely done and the service was genuinely great -- friendly, attentive staff and a comfortable atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting. I ordered the short rib sandwich with grated cheese, which I believe was a special. It came with fried sweet potatoes that were burned and completely lacked sweetness. The caramelized onion dip had the same burnt, bitter taste -- not sweet or balanced at all. Oddly, the complementary pickles, which were cured in what felt like pure salt, ended up being the most enjoyable part of the plate. As for the sandwich, it wasn't terrible in flavor, but it was overwhelmingly greasy. Between the short rib, cheese, and what seemed like a butter-soaked bun, it was literally dripping with oil. I'm giving two stars: one for the excellent service, and one for the pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, the food makes it hard to justify a return visit. read more

I told my son who has never been to Plan B that Plan B makes amazing burgers and they did not disappoint! Flavorful, juicy, with fresh toppings. We began with the flavored lemonade! If the ask you if you want one yes you do. I had the mushrooms and Swiss. WOW! Delicious! Accompanied by the parmesan fries. My whole being was happy. My son had the barbecue bacon burger and he was very pleased! We did not have room for dessert. The options did not make me want to make room or take home either. Overall great experience and great customer service read more

First time visit on Saturday. We found it by riding by, so signage is ample. A little concerned and hesitant due to the fact that there was NO wait on a Saturday night. Decor fresh and modern. The menu has a variety of items to order. I ordered the pretzel burger and classic french fries. My guy ordered fish and chips and an order of apecy glazed cauliflower. My burger was cooked to perfection... I mean absolutely perfect. I like my burger well-done. Not only was it cooked to perfection... it was, what looked like a "hand-shaped" burger. I had never had cauliflower made that way... Delicious. So glad we decided to stay. The prices were not bad for what you get, which is a delicious meal, nice ambiance and a visit from the owner/manager... all of which is a recipe for a guaranteed spot on the REPEAT list. Happy New Year read more

Have a delicious dinner tonight at Plan B in Southington Connecticut. My first time here and definitely not my last I enjoyed dinner on the patio with a bunch of my great friends from Yelp and we really had a great night. The nachos were delicious and the burgers were yummy. I really enjoyed the dessert was very sweet and the adult hot chocolate was really hit the spot and kept me warm all night thanks again read more

Stopped in to enjoy nachos for NachoNovember. I hadn't yet been to Plan B in Southington but enjoy the West Hartford location. We sat at the bar and were able to order quickly. We got the sliders and nachos. The nachos were potato chips with cheese sauce and onions and beans. They were ok. The combination of chips and cheese sauce didn't necessarily work for me. The sliders were very flavorful and the bun was very soft. The fries were ok. Smothered in Parmesan. The meal was average. The restaurant is cute and service was good. I would try it again. read more

Was looking for a lunch spot on Black Friday. Tried one place that was an hour wait so came to this area with the thought to go to another spot nearby and at the last minute decided to go here instead. Great decision. We'd been to other locations before but not this one. Everything was awesome and service was quick. Three of us built their own burgers, one got a pre-designed one. I usually worry when I see French fries served in a special basket or cup (especially when they are lined in paper) because it usually means a small portion but these were really large. read more

Last Sunday, I headed over to Plan B in Southington to watch some football and eat some delicious food! As per usual, I did more eating than watching but their beautiful bar area is super stylish and it really is the perfect spot to watch the game! I ordered their Crispy Chicken Burger with a crispy chicken patty, bacon, lettuce, tomato & chipotle ranch on a toasted sesame bun and it was SO heavenly, crispy and satisfying! If you're looking for the perfect spot to eat great food and watch some football, look no further than Plan B in Southington! read more

Plan b Southington - Crispy Chicken Burger - Burgers Near Me - Southington, Connecticut

Plan B is probably my plan B option for dining out on Queen St in Southington. Some of the specialty burgers are my favorite part of the menu. I even included a picture. Unfortunately for the rest of my family, that's about it for the menu. If you want something else. There is no plan B. Plan B's problem is their depth of menu. You got "Make Your Own" burger with your choice or choices of meat and that's really it. This business model fairs far better in a take out or burger stand scenario. I just can't justify the dine in experience and it limits the audience. Aside from the food choices which you can be well aware before you enter the doors with searching online, the service is sub par. The last time I was there on a not so busy night (Tuesday?), the young server we had was super pokey about getting us condiments or extra napkins. Pretty much anything I had asked for was a wait. At that point it was probably my 3-4 time. However it kind of put a cork in the whole restaurant for me as I was already tettering on fence given my hit or miss with other menu items I tried outside my go-to burger. Might of lost me as a customer. With an entire street of options, don't feel like settling people. Plan B will always be a B for me. read more

Very very disappointing. It was our 1st time at this Plan B location and our 1st time back to any Plan B in quite some time. We had previously frequented the Milford store and always had a great experience, but moved a few years back. The Southington location is now the closest to us and we decided to take the trip there since we were always so happy at Plan B. Unfortunately, this was not the Plan B we had expected it to be. Not the Plan B that was one of our favorite places when we lived in Orange. My wife ordered the whiskey smash(always one of our favorites) and either the bartender was taking a woefully bad shortcut or management changed the recipe due to cost. This was always whiskey, muddled lemon and mint, simple syrup and a bit of club soda with shaved ice. This disappointing drink was whiskey with sour mix, a splash of water and a mint leaf garnish. AWFUL. We aren't the types to complain unless there is a horrible issue since we both have spent our younger years in the restaurant business. So we didn't say anything and, if this was the only issue, we wouldn't be here right now, but the evening continued. Our food came out. My wife ordered the burger salad with her patty "some pink". It was well done.... Very well done. She tried, but couldn't do it. Reluctantly she decided that she needed to send it back because it was just inedible for someone that eats a burger medium rare. This leads to the next issue. After the expo dropping our food, our server was nowhere to be found. Restaurant 101: After a table's food is dropped, swing by and see if they need anything and if everything is ok. This didn't happen. After about 10 minutes(an eternity in this type of situation) my wife had to "flag her down" from across the restaurant. It wasn't busy either...not even remotely and it's a Saturday night, so that's also a bit telling. We let our server know that the burger was overcooked and she had the kitchen make another one. It came out slightly less over, but still well done again. To add to our adventures, it also had the wrong cheese on it. We decided to cut our losses and just not say anything else. What was the point? Moving on.... shortly into our entrees, we had empty glasses on our table and no server in sight(not even to check in on the remade burger patty). So yet again, we had to flag our server down across a relatively empty dining room since we were parched. This was just disappointing since we had always loved the Plan B in Milford. I can most certainly understand something not being great in a single instance of a meal, but there was too much to not weigh in here. I can't say for certain if this location is just not up to snuff or the brand had gone downhill, but we couldn't see ourselves ever again coming to this location at a minimum. We're going to rethink a visit to any after tonight. Side note: Since we're here, our tater tots were greasier than greasy. The fryer wasn't hot enough when they went in and they also weren't drained well in the basket after they came out. We each literally poured about a half a teaspoon of oil out of the bottom of our bowls they were in. Lastly, my chicken sandwich was dinky(about the size of a larger slider), not an entree sandwich whatsoever. Plus they forgot to put the chipotle aioli on it. I hate having to be this harsh, but management/ownership should have the opportunity to potentially right the ship, especially since this seems to be a pattern based upon the reviews I just read. I'm really sorry to have to do this. J read more

Only two stars. One for the burger. One for the bartender/server. However, the place was NOT up to the standards of of other plan b locations such as Fairfield or Glastonbury (which are great, by the way). My biggest problem was the mouse that made an appearance in the bar...running to and fro before scurrying behind a booth! And my second concern was the fruit fly that was large enough to put a saddle on! I had to cover my food and cocktail between bites and sips. And, finally, although my server was very nice and efficient, her cough was pretty bad! She covered it well enough but perhaps a day off nursing it would have given me a more comfortable experience. I probably won't be back to this location again. But DO try plan b's other locations. The burgers ARE top notch. read more

Came in for a late lunch. We were greeted and seated immediately. Nice selections to choose from and as usual, I had too many things I wanted to try. I went for the burger salad. The burgers here are really good and do not need anything to enhance the flavor but it also worked well in this dish. It was a very good dish. They have 14 taps available and a big selection of adult beverages which is part of their branding. This place has a good amount of seating in case you have a large number of people going with you. Everyone was polite and it was worth the stop. They also have some events running that looked interesting. read more

Okay so there is @yelpct#nachovember and then there is the way Plan B hosts the Yelp Elite for Nachovember. I'm talking burger pyramids and towers, an entire table stacked to the heavens with nachos and the most glorious cheese pour I've ever seen! What a time to be alive! But have you just gone to Plan B for football Sunday? Because the drinks and football happy hour options make it one of my top football spots! And this location used to be Bertuccis so that means you can get pizzaaaaaaa!!! read more

Plan b was a great spot for drinks, apps, and a lunch, especially during these covid times. To start, the parking lot is free, ample, and private. Parking is not an issue. Once you walk in, they have all of the standard covid precautions in place. Masks, spacing, plastic dividers, etc. All good here. The staff was friendly, helpful, and efficient. Drinks stayed full, food came out quickly, and the waiter was helpful in making suggestions. Drinks: I had an old fashioned. They make them in a "pre-prohibition" manner which means no fruit (per their menu). I am used to having a cherry and orange peel in my drinks, so that was a little different. Overall, well made and easy to drink. No complaints. They have a few different signature cocktails, so I think they have some good options. Lots of bourbon choices as well. Apps: We went with the jalapeno poppers and they were outstanding. They tasted like fresh peppers, and were well made. They were unlike other poppers I've had, but were very good. I'd be happy to come back just for the poppers. Dinner: we both had different options, and were happy with both. They have these green fries, which were beans. Good stuff. I had the fries and was happy with them as well. Everyone was very happy with their main courses. Overall a great place to grab a drink and a bite. read more

We stopped in with a bus trip passing through, midday on Friday. Service was great considering how we swarmed upon them at once. Mushroom burger with truffle mayo and sweet potato fries all delicious. Chicken tacos were also a hit with our group. Need to mention the pickles- they are the good ones- crisp and fresh, served in a bowl prior to entrees, excellent! Had a cocktail to shake off extended bus travel- fairly priced ($10 titos martini, $9 JB & ginger) prepared by friendly and efficient Hannah. Happy hour started at 3pm but we had to run! read more

I've visited Plab B burger a few times and typically their food and service are great. My recent visit was subpar. Upon entering and being seated I had to wait 20 minutes to put my drink order in and then an additional 10 minutes to put my food order in. The waitress did apologize for the wait and stated the wait was because it was shift change. I ordered a margarita and nachos, both items were poorly made. The margarita was super sour as if they poured too much mix and the nachos had coarsely chopped vegetables; the size of the veggies were not appropriate for the dish. The cheese was cold and coagulated. I barely drank and ate any of it. In the future, I think their recipes for margaritas and nachos should be revised. Margaritas should have a balance of sweet and tart and the nachos should have diced or thinly sliced veggies, and hot (temperature) cheese. read more

They really don't care honestly I used to love going there but the last three times I went they gave me bad food when I complain they never got back to me never replied back because it was my fault they gave me bad cheese that cause food poisoning and me puking outside of the restaurant after I leave not a single care in the world read more

Since it's "Nachovember" I had to get some American Nachos from Plan B. Also because my friends wanted to play trivia. My only complaint is the waitress didn't tell us about the happy hour specials until a few minutes before happy hour ended. Other than that, the food was good (a few too many onions in the nachos for my taste, I will probably ask for no onions next time) and I was pleasantly surprised to see New England Cider on the menu. Trivia was fun also. The restaurant seemed clean, service was fast and courteous, and I liked being able to scan the receipt and pay on my phone read more

I don't know why I keep trying Plan B... been to a couple of their different locations over the years (Fairfield, West Hartford, and now Southington) and the burgers are never anything to rave about. Overcooked, dry, and expensive. You can get a better burger actually cooked the way you want down the road at Hop Haus. read more

I hate having to leave this review. We've be going to Plan b since they first opened in West Hartford. It's been a go to chain, always very good. This review is totally focused on one menu item, the fried chicken sandwich. The one I ordered was so spicy hot I took two small bites and my mouth is still burning 30 minutes later. In fact the breading was so thick with spices, it was as thick as some fried chicken chain's thickest crispy breading. Terrible! I would have immediately complained to the manager, but this was a take out order. I'll be bringing the sandwich back there sometime soon. read more

The waitstaff was friendly and polite but the food took over an hour to be brought to the table. When it was received, one item was cold, and one item was wrong. On the way out of the restaurant, we saw two gentlemen that waited so long, they gave up and left; they had never received their food. I will not be returning. read more

Meh it's ok. It's different and frankly not as good as the Plan b in Glastonbury where I usually go. The menu is similar but more limited. Plus you don't get pickles as a free app. If you want a decent burger I guess it's ok. We went fairly early on a Saturday to beat the crowd and it didn't work. The place was quite busy. Parking isn't always easy if it's crowded. Overall you could do worse but it's not outstanding. read more

1st visit to Plan b in Southington, which opened a week ago. Arrived around 12:30pm and there was a 15 minute wait. Not bad! Food and service was great! They did a great job with renovations (it was Bertucci's before). I would definitely come back! Another visit to Plan b. We got there right when they opened on Sunday (11:30). The PREFECT time! Tried same items, plus a few other appetizers. We enjoyed everything! read more

We were not impressed with the burgers. They were dry and they hardly had any mushrooms on them and 1 sad looking tomato. Very small serving of fries. The service was just ok. $16 for a burger and $8 for a beer was not worth it. There are so many other places that serve better burgers now. read more

The Burger, Brew & Burbon theme! Been a few times now, good food, good prices & service. The Happy hour is quite nice with a choice of about 6 appetizers ( plus sliders at multiple quantities) at 1/2 price, couple of $3-4 beers on tap & a shot of the Bourbon of the Week at $4. The regular burgers are nicely done, with a variety of toppings. The firecracker cauliflower is excellent and a plateful, shrimp quite good, and excellent sliders. The service has been excellent at Southington, bar, waitstaff and manager all have a how can we help attitude. Haven't been to Sunday HH noon to 4 to catch a game, will have to try soon. read more

Best part of the experience was the actual burger meat. Good thing! Service was slow on a Tuesday night at 5:45. Ketchup was empty, no salad dressing on the salad, dessert Warm Cookie Sundae was cold and crunchy. The restaurant had 4 tables out of 18 tables occupied. So clearly not busy. Server checked in on us once after the meal was served. No offer for additional drinks, coffee, or alcohol. Sad. read more

While the food was good, service left quite a bit to be desired. You would think a restaurant that specializes is making burgers would be able to do so correctly. I saw a number of patrons have to send food back because it was incorrect and then wait quite a while to get the food back. I wouldn't waste my time here. read more
