    Two piece fried chicken and fries
    Michael W.

    This place came highly recommended from a friend so when I happened to be in the area with some down time from work I decided to stop in for lunch. He warned me there's usually a wait time but I wasn't too concerned since I had time to kill. Honestly, this plaza is super dusty so I would typically overlook it but once I stepped in I was surprised how nice and updated it looked (except the bathroom, yikes)! It seemed clean so I placed my order for fried chicken and fries. I was told it would be about 20 minutes but it ended up being over 20, probably closer to 30. This was surprising because there were only 1 or 2 other customers in there at the time so I assume they receive a lot of online / door dash orders. Prices seemed really good here. So good that I was expecting a small portion but I was wrong! HUGE pieces of chicken (cooked perfectly) and so many fries were in the box. The fries had a great texture but they seemed like they were cooked in old oil or in the same fryer as the chicken or something because the flavor was off for me. I ate them but they didn't really taste fresh if that makes sense. The chicken itself was solid but it was definitely lacking flavor. I tried to make up for it by using the hot sauce but I didn't like the flavor of it at all (I swear I'm not picky - I typically eat all kinds of hot sauce!). The ketchup was knock off too but hey you get what you pay for. In the end I was satisfied (read: full) and feel like I got a lot of food for the price. I would come back to try the shawarma but not sure I would do fried chicken again.

    Decent Schwarma in an unassuming plaza. First off, this plaza is very much your working class locale. It's not pretty, but it's close to the highway. It's very easy to look at this place and be a little put off because of the location. I came here to try them out cause my plan A option fell through. There was two men working, and a group of 6 people waiting on food. They had no physical menus and the tvs that were stationed above the register were off. There were blank QR codes next to the register, which are their digital menus. None of this was explained, it had to be interpreted. I wanted to try their shish tawouq, which was the closest thing to the picture on the menu. Was told it would take 30 minutes to prepare. Taking the hint, I instead opted for the chicken Schwarma. Took about 15 minutes to get my order. Took pics and dug in. The chicken was cooked and juicy. There wasn't very much spice or seasoning on the chicken. This could be partly due to the fact that the garlic sauce was broken and also very overpowering. I love garlic, but can understand how some people might not like that much garlic in their food. For the cash, it's not horrible but it's also not much food either. It's the type of meal that's perfectly fine for a quick lunch, especially if you go for their fried fare. The weird part is the space is very much decked out to be a fancier place than it is. They got nice chairs, a well decorated space, and lots of class. But then they use tissue boxes for napkins, and have loads of drinks and coolers in the dining area. I'm not sure if they have given up or just don't know how to present themselves. But based on the food I got, it's not bad but it's not good either. It's an option if you want lunch, but it's a mixed bag

    SOS fried chicken was recommended by a friend, so I tried the chicken tenders, which are HUGE. The fries are just seasoned crinkle fries. You'll have to wait a few mins while your chicken is cooked to order -- which means it's served hot and fresh. The chicken was VERY moist and the breading was good. There is some seating, but it seems like more of a takeout place. I'm interested in going back to try the Mediterranean menu items like shawarma. So many options! The guys there were nice too.

    15 minute wait for an expensive, soggy and greasy 12-inch teriyaki chicken grinder. Absolutely gross.

    Hometown spot, right off a two lane highway, you'll find a small corner restaurant with some tasty…read moresmoke coming off the top.. that's Thomas Smokey pit stop! Service was very friendly, prices a little high, but bbq is crazy these days so you kind of expect it. Tried the three meat plate, with a side of bbq beans and cornbread. Ribs: tender, not fall off the bone but great rub! Brisket: rather dry but I wouldn't throw it away Corn bread: dry and did throw away Baked beans: delicious!! Great little spicy flavor. Hot links: my favorite part of this dish! Wasn't a standard flavor, not too spicy, and had a great snap to it. Overall, decent experience, nothing to write home about. Very limited seating, stools only. Come hungry, good size portions.

    First Timer to Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ in Manchester, CT yesterday. I did the 2 plate meat w/…read moreone side. Went with the Ribs & Brisket and collards. Place is smallish, but there's a counter with a few stools if you want to eat inside. Service was very friendly & efficient. Brisket was good -- tender and moist. Nice bark too. Ribs had a smokey flavor, I liked the rub they used. But a few were borderline tough. Collards were excellent. Overall, this is decent "northern Q", I would definitely come back again if I'm in the area. Thomas' Smokey Pit Stop BBQ is a solid 4 Star rating, IMO, and that's coming from a guy who consumed a lot of Q in northern Alabama when he lived down there.

    Tried again, not bad but not great…read more It's been a while since I tried this place. Decided to come by during a random weekend lunch to give their food another try. Server was friendly and very casual. I asked for her recommendation and was told their grilled chicken sandwich was pretty good. Strange given they use to be really proud in their bbq, but trusted the server and got the west coast chicken sandwich and swapped the bun for a lettuce wrap. Also got the tumbleweeds with a side of spicy aoli to dip in. The food came out after a little bit of a wait, but not too long. Took pics and dug in. The tumbleweeds were cooked well but really lacked in any flavor beyond crispy breading. It really needed a dipping sauce to give it any real flavor. The spicy aoli had a little zip to it and helped though. The chicken was seasoned well but overcooked. The Swiss cheese didn't really add much so I scraped it off. Bacon wasn't crispy, was welded to the Swiss cheese so I just scraped it off with the cheese. The heirloom tomatoes and pickled red onions were very good. Lightly salted and sweet tomatoes and briny sweet onions really complimented the chicken and were welcome additions. Avocado was okay, fresh and presented well. The food wasn't bad, but it did have some stumbles. It's a great venue space, one of the few country bars in the state and is decked out well to be the primo spot for county. It's not a great restaurant, but it's serviceable food and a nice staff. If it can really sell the events and nail those, then the food can be simpler and still do well. For now though, it's okay.

    It's been a couple years since I been but we were gonna check out the band playing. I was little…read morehesitant but seeing how I give men a thousand chances, why not give a restaurant a second chance... And I must say the menu is definitely changed in the last couple years and the food was excellent. Not sure if this isn't under new ownership or management but everything has improved. I ended up ordering a salmon dish but I asked if I didn't get all the sugary glazes on it which they literally sauteed and seasoned the salmon perfectly with just vegetables I also let them know that it was gluten free due to celiac so they made sure that they limited cross-contamination. I did not try any of the drinks from the bar but the seltze water was nice and cold and sparkly. Lol. The band that they brought on was highly energetic, very entertaining and very friendly. I would definitely go back. I would love to try this place out in the summertime when everything is open and they're outdoor. Spaces are actually in use due to the fact that it was freezing out. Everybody stayed inside but overall the grounds are very beautiful. Staff was super friendly, very attentive.
