    Just landed at the airport and was looking for something quick and good. The Deli certainly filled the bill! Really good, fresh sandwiches.

    Great sandwiches, we had the BLT and the Reuben, and both were delish. Limited onsite seating, staff were friendly and helpful.

    This place is a classic deli spot. I mean from the prices to the service. The sandwich was pressed crunchy but not to much. The people in here remind me of a close knit group and treat everyone like old high school buddies.

    Love this place. The young couple who run this are awesome and always friendly. I highly recommend you stop here when catching a plane out of Bradley. Support the independent culinary establishments. GF availability as well.

Found H & M on a whim while staying at a hotel down the street, and stopped in with the hope of ordering a delicious grinder for my wife and I to enjoy for dinner. What I ended up getting was a massive feast for a family that lasted us the night, then the morning after, and the long haul flight that following afternoon. The best part? The ingredients are so fresh, the grinder stayed just as flavorful when eating it on the plane the next day! I couldn't even tell that I put it in the fridge overnight. Try that with a chain sandwich and it's risky business. My recommendation? Order the Italian Combo (cold grinder) and make sure you have about 3 friends handy to devour the thing in one sitting. Or it can be divided into meal prep for a few days! Thanks for the awesome service and delicious grinder, H & M!

On April 11, I rushed my family off the plane in order to get to these guys to grab a quick-but-tasty dinner before embarking on the remaining two hours of our long day of travel back to Westport. We arrived at 7:30 PM, 30 minutes before closing. Unfortunately, rather than having great pizza, great fried chicken, and an amazing grinder, we were instead served what felt more like the food that comes off of a gas station countertop diner than it did a restaurant that has WOW'd me in the past with they're fantastic food and friendly service. The greeting we received when we walked in; even though it was 30 minutes before closing, was less than enthusiastic to see us... it was clear right off the bat that everybody behind the counter was far more concerned about having their key in the front door at 7:59 then they were delivering great food and service. The grinder was OK. The fried chicken was pliable, but a couple of the pieces we ordered were dried out and shriveled up from sitting too long. The slices of pizza that we ordered, the guy didn't even bother, warming them up. Just pulled them out of the pizza slice case and threw them into a box... either that or if he did attempt to warm them up, they must've already turned the ovens off, and they threw it into a cold oven. A word of advice for the management of this restaurant, if you want to be out the door by 8 PM, close your restaurant at 7 PM so nobody comes in and bothers you all while you're trying to clean. To be fair, if you're thinking about this restaurant as a great stop for lunch, I would still recommend it as the food is ordinarily pretty good (and fresh at that time ) I've eaten here several times and I've never been disappointed.

I was greeted with genuine smiles as soon as I walked in , which is so rare these days. I ordered a Large Oxtail, a Small Curry Chicken, a 6 piece plantain, and a bottled drink. The total came to $52. The food itself had great flavor. The rice was perfectly cooked, the cabbage was good, and the oxtail came with seven pieces. I do want to add that some of the pieces were the size of a grape. The chicken was a bit salty and tough in some spots, but it definitely did not lack flavor. My only real issue was the price point matching the portion size. Oxtail is expensive everywhere, but for $52, I just did not feel like it was enough food for the money. Overall, I definitely enjoyed the flavors and the amazing hospitality for my first visit. It is a solid spot, I just wish the portions were slightly more generous for the price.

Multiple times have had them not have the called in order ready, nor did they care. No charisma whatsoever. I tried to be polite but no response. Whatever. Maybe it's always a bad day here. ‍ Cafeteria style tables and decor. Not really a done in place unless it's on the run. If you like Jamaican food it's great. Just don't expect it to be ready on time, nor served with a smile. I would honestly be here all the time if they were nice.

I'm not sure if it was a shift change or just timing, but even though the restaurant wasn't very busy, it felt like we were left a bit on the side for a while. Nothing major, just something noticeable. Also, while the food is creative and well made, some items felt a bit pricey for the portion size (for example, a meatball serving), so value may depend on what you order. That said, it definitely wouldn't stop me from coming back. Good food, good beer selection, and overall a solid spot.

I would bring everyone there. When they opened the new location in Windsor , it was still great. It was a birthday outing type of thing. I went again last week, which was likely my final time. For the past few years, I've been giving it a pass... growing pains, maybe? But the food is not what it was. The succulent, juicy brisket that I used to dream of has been dry and cold for the last year or so (probably 3 or 4 visits). The burnt ends, which used to be as addictive, are now no longer made from brisket...but what seems to be cubed chuck...again, dry. Texas sausage and pulled pork are still ok, as are the sides. On top of that, they are always short staffed, and the staff that they do have is not helpful...not friendly.. Just a big NOT anymore. I haven't been to the Hartford or New Haven locations recently, but as far as Windsor is concerned, it will not be going back anytime soon. I don't mind paying the premium prices for quality food and service, but you are no longer premium. Please figure this out. My favorite place no longer exists.. and I really want it to return to the quality of the past.
