    Wow. The Spot is new and greatly improved. BEST Reuben sandwich- the corned beef is tender and freshly made (you can taste the marinade slightly). The bread is thick and crunchy but not greasy. The onion rings are fresh and delicious as was the burger - made with fresh meat. Thank goodness we have a place to come back to.

    We came by for wings and one beer. Service was pleasant and fast. I liked that the waitress kept checking in with us. Wings were ok flavor wise. The beer was cold enough and they had a great selection. There is plenty of parking space.

    Been here a half dozen times now. Super perfect neighborhood bar. Great tap selection. Food is consistently on-point. On a particular gloomy day, the crock of chili was "spot" on.

    The overall environment here is warm and welcoming. Came here as a large group and loved it! Service was fast despite our large group, great beers on draft and the food was great! A little overcooked in the burger and the grilled cheese but still delicious. Can't wait to come here again!

    Pets welcome!

    Nice little spot, great out door seating and service. The food was good. Vegetarian options are available. Next time I'll bring my dog.

    This restaurant is a family friendly place and also has a bar and outdoor seating. It is a casual place. Many choices on the menu for everyone's palate. Recently, I ordered takeout for the BAMA Miami football game! We had two orders of Buffalo wings. They came via grub hub which was also good service btw! The wings were large, still warm and came with ample bleu cheese dressing and celery. The second time we ordered burgers and they were tasty, cooked perfectly and also came warm. We have gone to this restaurant for years and it still fits the bill!

    My wife and I had a great meal at 374 when we spent a day in Niantic. We started with the buffalo…read morewings, which were excellent. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My wife ordered the tomato soup, which she also said was very flavorful. I had the hot and cold lobster roll combo and loved the option to try both styles. The lobster was fresh, generously portioned, and delicious! The cocktails were also outstanding and complemented the meal perfectly. The restaurant has a very cute, welcoming vibe and we stopped by between lunch and dinner times, so it was not busy. It was perfect. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Niantic!

    I have struggled with whether to write this review because this has become one of our favorite…read morelocal restaurants over the last year. In fact, one of the reasons we kept coming back was because this was one of the very few local restaurants that I believed truly understood celiac disease and took gluten-free dining seriously. However, as someone with celiac disease, I feel a responsibility to share my experience because what I have encountered goes far beyond a one-time mistake. Several months ago, we ordered takeout and I tested three separate items that were represented as gluten-free: tacos, a wedge salad, and a pop tart dessert. Most was already naturally gluten free. All three tested positive for gluten. These tests are not cheap, costing approximately $12 each, so this was not something I did lightly. I contacted the restaurant and spoke directly with the head chef. She was professional, understanding, and seemed genuinely concerned. She thanked me for bringing it to her attention and even mentioned that she planned to order a test herself because she could not understand how those items would contain gluten. Because of that conversation, I chose not to leave a review. I genuinely believed the issue would be investigated and corrected, and I wanted to give the restaurant the opportunity to make things right. Unfortunately, a later visit resulted in a positive gluten test on the smoked fish appetizer. Most recently, I returned again and tested several items. The calamari tested negative, but my gluten-free tacos once again tested positive for gluten. At this point, I have simply been glutened one too many times by a restaurant that I genuinely wanted to trust. What makes this especially difficult is that this restaurant presents itself as understanding celiac disease. I was told that members of the restaurant's family, including a daughter, have celiac disease. Hearing that gave me confidence that gluten-free orders would be taken seriously and that proper precautions would be in place. That is what makes these repeated positive gluten tests so confusing and disappointing. When a restaurant claims to understand celiac disease, I expect more than simply offering gluten-free menu items. I expect systems that actually prevent gluten contamination. After multiple positive gluten tests across multiple visits and after bringing my concerns directly to management months ago, it is difficult for me to reconcile those claims with my actual experiences. During my most recent visit, the waitress was kind and helpful, and I appreciate the way she handled the situation. However, I was told that a manager would come speak with me, and no manager ever did. My tacos were removed because they tested positive for gluten, yet I was still charged for them after deciding to take them home (for my non celiac hubby) rather than have them thrown away. In the end, I received a discount, but only after spending nearly $50 on gluten tests during that visit alone. As I write this, I am sitting here sad, frustrated, and in pain, knowing exactly what the next couple of weeks are likely going to look like for me. People often do not see what happens after someone with celiac disease is exposed to gluten. We do not go into anaphylaxis in the restaurant. We go home and suffer through the consequences alone. The symptoms may not be immediately visible to others, but the physical toll is very real. Every restaurant can make a mistake. My concern is not a single mistake. My concern is a repeated pattern over multiple visits, over several months, after the issue was brought directly to the restaurant's attention. I truly wanted to continue supporting this restaurant. I truly wanted to be able to recommend it to others in the celiac community. Unfortunately, after repeated positive gluten tests, repeated gluten exposures, and no evidence that the underlying problem has been corrected, I cannot in good conscience recommend this restaurant to anyone with celiac disease or anyone who requires a truly gluten-free meal for medical reasons.

Its no longer a dine in experience. Burgers come in box rather than on a plate and you have to get it yourself at the counter instead of being served. The food was just ok, seemed better before. The pistachio shake was the best thing of the whole meal. Don't think we will be returning.

    I always have to come to Bobby's when I visit Mohegan. It's a rare gem of a burger place…read more Everything about the burgers is top notch from the meat to the bun. When you go up to order at the counter they give you a number and you take a seat at the counter or the long communal table. I like how the counter weaves through the restaurant rather than being a straight line. The ambiance here is simple, but pleasant. The service at the counter is very quick and you help yourself to fountain drinks I've had several of the burgers here but today I chose their Little Italy Burger, which was a special for the season. My wife ordered the Bobby's Veggie burger. The Little Italy was delicious. It has a spicy tomato sauce on it and Parmesan cheese. Almost reminded me of a meatball grinder. I will note that I order my burgers here medium rare, but they always come out a little closer to rare. Order it medium if you want it closer to medium rare, I think. The veggie burger is really good. It's made up of quinoa and bbq'd mushrooms. We also got fries, which are always perfect here and I love their sauce. Overall, always a great deal here at Mohegan!
