Build me up, Buttercup Salad with Cheesy Garlic Chibatta
Kevin D.

Came here on a whim. It's a new restaurant that opened up in my neck of the woods, so had to give it a chance. That and they opened during Covid, so I got to give them kudos for doing that. The location is clean and inviting, the staff are nice and knowledgeable. The layout is a little weird, and I don't mean the whole divider walls. For a make-your-own place I usually expect the bins to be close to waist level. Least when you go to a subway or 1000 degree you can see what everything is and pick and choose from there. The displays feel like you have to lean over to get a good view of the ingredients they are using. They also have the first screen menu as you first walk in set to show their protein shakes, which I didn't even associate with their location till I saw the screen right there. Didn't actually see their salad menu till I was at the far back of the store. Nitpicks aside, I let the associate prep me a salad. Ended up with the "build me up, butternut" salad which had kale, quinoa, roasted butternut squash, pumpkin seeds, brussel sprouts, and a honey mustard sauce. Added some avocado and bacon to the half-salad, because why not? In terms of a meal - Well, it's a salad. The dressing was very tasty, they had good croutons, and the butternut squash added a lot of nice sweetness to counteract the bitter of the kale. They did go a bit heavy on the brussel sprouts, which were charred up and cooked nicely. The bacon and avocado didn't add to the dish, which is a shame cause I was hoping the saltiness of the bacon and the richness of the avocado would add some depth. Didn't though, so probably want to avoid that combo with that salad. Price-wise, it's not bad for just a salad. A half-salad with the extras set me back about 11 bucks which is expensive but about par for the area. Flavor-wise, it's pretty good for a salad. I didn't find any element of the salad that was not well done or made well. I admire that they put calorie and protein numbers next to the standard portions of dressing and meats. It's kind of pigeon-holed by being named "salad bar", but they do a good job with their namesake. One thing I would prefer to mention: They have a grilled cheese on the menu for 5 bucks, but no tomato soup. I think a good tomato soup would do well with a grilled cheese, but not everyone likes tomato soup. but that's literally me focusing on the one dish that traditionally isn't healthy in the salad place. They do a good job, and if you're in the mood for a salad they are not a bad option

Make your own Salad..

Yum I yum! This location is just as tasty as the Rocky Hill one. I recently saw this when I was in town doing errands. I used to go to the Rocky Hill location a couple times a week but due to Covid I have been working from home. The produce is always fresh. You can pick one of their salads or make your own. They do offer wraps but I always go with a salad. Plus you have the ease of ordering online before you go so you can skip the line. The only complaint I have is that online it says they are always out of croutons and the cheesy garlic bread. And the times I've picked up my salad they have had croutons which they did give at my request on the side of course cuz my salad was already made. So if you're in the mood for a nice tasty salad with fresh ingredients freshly put together the Salad Bar is your place to go.

Nihon in a spinach wrap with chicken and Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce
Cristina V.

Was in a bit of a hurry and needed to fuel for lunch, wanted something healthier than drive-thru, but had to be a hand-held so I could eat while driving. This place was super, super clean, and my order was prepared very quickly as I watched. I ordered the Nihon in a spinach wrap with chicken and Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce. AMAZING. Totally hit the spot, left me super full. Everything was crisp and fresh. Felt a little expensive for a fast lunch; my wrap and a drink was $14, but I'll definitely be back to try something else here soon.

It was ok- the clam chowder soup had hard bits in it. Tomato soup was bland. Overall I'd give it an ok rating.

What a great local deli in Wethersfield! I've been told how good this little shop is for a while…read moreand so glad I stopped in for lunch. If anyone knows me, they know I'm sucker for a GOOD deli sandwich and that's exactly what you'll get here. I happily enjoyed the Keeney Club which namesake is a homage to the town of Wethersfield! It came piled with house-roasted deli turkey, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado and garlic mayo atop thick toasted bread. WOW the garlic mayo absolutely blew me away. Definitely the star of that sandwich, along with that house turkey! The hubbs got the Angry Chicken which he was obsessed with. Homemade breaded chicken, cayenne mayo, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, cheddar, and topped with hot pepper relish on a hard roll. From looking at the menu, I could have bet the deed to our house that he would choose that sandwich LOL The only downside is it's a little pricey for the amount of food. $12 for a sandwich and a small side. However, the sides were very good. The french fries were a surprise MVP. Very crispy and reminiscent of high school cafeteria fries in the BEST way *heart eyes*

The only bad thing about this place is that it's not open later!…read more I went here one time with some coworkers when we were on a break for lunch in the area, and I think about it often! Everything here is fantastic, but my recommendation is the three squared. The cutlet is fantastic and the mix of the red peppers with the arugula and cheese is delicious! It just hits the spot.

If you're craving comfort food done RIGHT, Rooster Chicken and Waffles does not disappoint…read more Everything about my order hit. The food was fresh, hot, and a solid portion. You can tell they don't cut corners. I literally saw them in the back battering the chicken by hand, which says a lot about the quality and care they put into their food. The sauces? All made in-house, and you can taste the difference. Every bite had flavor on flavor; no shortcuts here. They may have multiple locations, but this spot? Yeah... they put their foot in the food I'll definitely came back.

Rooster's on Main Street is finally open! I've been waiting for a while I feel like. I've been told…read morethey've only been open for two months. Apparently the most popular item are their tenders and I will agree! It's delicious! The 10-pc tenders are decently sized for $16.99. As soon as I walk-in, I am greeted with a beautiful smile and a friendly host! I also got the waffle fries and Mac and cheese with this order okay a Strawberry milkshake that looks very appetizing! The chicken is peppery and crunchy. The waffle fries are also well seasoned. I can't wait to try the Mac and cheese when I get home! They have an assortment of sauces with varying heat. Will you play it safe or you will you take the risk and sweat it! The business is clean and well kept. The colors are vibrant and very inviting. They have a good view of Main Street too!
