I honestly couldn't eat it
Bombshell B.

Food -for starters I got the chicken dip,which was amazing .And also the steak eggrolls which was dry and nasty with no flavor. For entree I tried the pork chop special was was very dry and a little flavor. I honestly wouldn't go back to the restaurant Service was ok for the most part. Ambiance was cozy and comfortable.

Great time of her for Octoberfest! They serve great specials daily. I love their pierogies. My husband always gets their fish and chips; he loves it. My son got chicken tenders and fries. They also serve a great meatloaf here! They were super busy on Friday night when we went. Good came out quick. Our cups were full. Service was good. Love all their seasonal decor as well. Can't wait to go bank!

Cajun seasoning is sooo good. We love their boneless and bone in wings. Perfect for a rainy day.

Chili

Great spot and great food and burgers. It does get very crowded however. Weekdays are probably the best

Cheeseburger Salad
Ethan D.

Excellent Tavern!! My wife and I went at dinner service and we were seated next to live music. The band was great and the volume was not too loud. It was a great experience we had an attentive server and the food was delicious. We were very impressed by the burger salad, the garlic parm wings and the chili!! The artichoke dip was not bad either but was more average. This was such a great experience! 5/5 reccomend!

Dry rub Smokey Mesquite wings, at The Yarde Tavern in Enfield, CT.
Tom D.

1st Timers to The Yarde Tavern in Enfield this afternoon. We started off with ten of the dry rub Smokey Mesquite wings -- excellent wings, some of the best we've ever had anywhere. Meaty. For our meals, my wife ordered the Chicken Milanese, and I went with the Fish n' Chips. HUGE portions. I felt her meal was slightly better than mine, but both were still stellar. Everything really hit the spot, we were very satisfied, and left with full tummies. Total (before tax), with drinks, was only $86. We felt that was very reasonable for the outstanding meals we had received. All in all, a great experience at Yarde Tavern this afternoon, we'd certainly come back again when in the area. An Easy 5 Star review.

Great experience today at The Yarde Tavern. Really enjoyed the Big E menu, the pierogies, pulled pork sundae, and the fried Oreos...great fair food without the crowds! Plus Rohn really enjoyed his water dish, burger, and chicken tenders! The staff was very attentive and showed lots of love to our big boy! Thank you for a great experience today!

Tuna Melt
Pamela T.

We tried it here for lunch recently. The ambience was nice. There was a very large bar and lots of dining room seating. We ordered a tuna melt and a mediterranean panini wrap with chicken. Both were very good and so were the fries. They had a big menu with lots of other things we would try so we will be back when in the area.

Lobster Roll
Jennifer C.

We visited the Yarde Tavern after exploring the New England Air Museum, and were immediately greeted by Blues Brothers statues at the entrance, setting the tone for the fun and casual atmosphere of the restaurant. We opted to sit outside on the deck, which was comfortable but could get warm with the clear paneled roof on hotter days. The servers were friendly and attentive, and our food arrived promptly. I ordered an Allagash White beer, but was disappointed to find that it tasted old and was nearly turning, despite it being the start of summer. For starters, we tried the chicken parm eggrolls, which were perfectly cooked and seasoned, served with a delicious homemade marinara sauce. I then had the lobster roll, which was tender and a great summer dish, accompanied by crispy, salty fries and coleslaw. My only wish was for a side of melted butter for dipping. My partner ordered the pastrami reuben, which featured well-cooked and flavorful pastrami. However, they weren't a fan of the finely minced sauerkraut, which made a bit of a mess. All in all we would go back if were in the area again but probably change up a few items.

Fried mozzarella
Roxy B.

This is a hidden gem! I can't speak enough about their mozzarella moons. I always get the chicken parmigiana (Yarde Parm) and it NEVER disappoints. Found this place over a year ago and it is DEFINITELY worth the value. Fresh ingredients. The server ensured there wasn't certain ingredients in the food that I'm allergic too. Definitely worth going to. The music is also very nice. It's a nice atmosphere.

Calamari
Michelle V.

Ate a bunch of appetizers and had a drink delicious. This was our first time here. Took us over an hour to get here, but it's only worth it.

Whole bellied Ipswich clams. Lightly breaded so that clammy deliciousness is there. Hand cut fries and tangy slaw wrap it up
Lauren L.

Came with no rez on Mother's day. Hostess let us know it would be 45 min. They had us seated in 20. Melt in your mouth pastrami, fresh fried whole bellies, summer cocktails. Yes please.

Front of Restaurant
Kevin D.

Solidly decent food, ample portions but lackluster execution. This place was on our list to try because of the reviews and the interesting wings. I happened to need to meet up with an old boss of mine, so we decided to give this place a try. Coming in, looks like a pretty big dive bar. dark, old, and a couple of blues brothers guys towards the front. Inside looks a lot like the outside, lots of dark wood and a pretty extensive bar with a small stage in the corner with a solo artist playing. We take a seat and order some wings. I ordered a kids fish and chips, while the girlfriend got the special scallop salad and the boss got a rodeo cheeseburger. We don't wait long, food comes out and we dig in. Overall, not bad. Everything was a little greasy. Wings were cooked well but lacking flavor. the dressings were good though, could tell they made them in house because of the amount of seasoning used. Pretty tasty, but the wings themselves were lacking. Same with the salad and the fish n chips. Fries were generic bagged, the fish was fresh and battered well, but it wasn't seasoned and very greasy. needed to be drained a little more and hit with a little salt. The salad was very one-note: Sweet. It tasted just like sugar with no reprieve. The scallops were cooked well though. Seasoned and seared well, the best bite. The burger was okay, at least according to the boss. very big, but needed salt. Overall, the food isn't stellar but the portions are large. you won't go home hungry, but it won't be tasty. Good if you need a pint and need to fill the belly

My wife had a craving for rice during our last night in Connecticut, so stopped into this strip…read moremall restaurant near our hotel for an early dinner. The food (taste and value) and service was solid. It's an interesting name (like others, knew a 'Jimmy Chen' while growing up...Chen being a very popular surname in China and in the Chinese community in the U.S.). They have a good website, so was able to scout the menu before arriving and knew that we had missed their lunch specials. It wasn't too busy inside, and there was plenty of parking in the small strip mall (Sophia's Plaza). We were greeted immediately, led to a booth, and offered a free appetizer of deep fried wonton skins with sweet/sour sauce (appreciated since not a common practice on the West Coast). Chen's is marketed as Asian Cuisine which in this part of the country means Chinese (Chinese-American classics) and Japanese (sushi and bento) with a little bit of Thai (Pad Thai and Pineapple fried rice). We were too late to take advantage of the lunch menu special ($9.25 or $10.25 during 11:00 - 3:00), but Jimmy's offers the same as combo specials (anytime but priced higher at $13.25). Our server stated that the lunch option does have (slightly) smaller portions, and doesn't include the egg roll. We ordered two plates, shared between the two of us: C4 Beef Broccoli and C19 Garlic Shrimp, each coming with a big, fat egg roll well deep fried and a rich (greasy with chinese bbq pork) fried rice. The garlic sauce was really good, not too garlicky (noticing how a 'garlic' Chinese dish has quite a bit less garlic than a 'garlic' Italian dish). I loved that they used 5 really jumbo shrimps, each big enough to be split into 4 bites. The vegetables (broccoli, peppers, water chestnuts, and celery) were sliced thin and cooked well (though didn't have the distinctive wok-fried smokiness that i love). The beef dish wasn't as good...decent sauce and plenty of broccoli, but the sliced beef wasn't good...very mushy, almost parboiled, similar to the versions at buffets or a Panda Express. There is a full service bar inside, along with a sushi bar manned by a chef. For us, service was very good, with our waters being constantly refilled. Payment was done via clover (though done away from the table). It was a good last meal during our trip.

Been coming here a long time..Food never disappoints..Service was great today.Took a lot home with…read moreus.. Our grand daughter was quite happy with the contents of the doggie bag..Highly reccomend!
