Tuna salad with avocado

Pretty fast service and great tuna! The ambiance is not the best but I mean it's there. Order was made and ready in 3 mins, nice pricing too. Not chip options tho, no complaints

Food- Tuna Salad with Avocado on Wheat Toast Bread (Cross-Section)

The Whole Deli Five is a very popular lunch spot in the Glastonbury area. I visited after the lunch rush (after 2pm) and it was completely empty. The downside was they ran out of grinders, which was quite frustrating. The pricing didn't make much sense, it's $.75 cents extra to make the sandwich on a grinder instead of toast bread, which is of course much larger. The sandwich base price is about $6.50 - $8 depending on the type of sandwich you order (with no drinks or chips). The basic toast bread sandwich didn't feel worth it relative to other delis/sandwich spots where you can get at least a 10 inch sub/grinder for that price point. That was my main issue with the whole experience at Whole Deli Five. If it's not on a grinder, you're basically getting a worse deal than the majority of other places. Aside from that, the experience was quite positive. There is a private parking lot, decent seating, and fairly quick service. The ingredients all tasted fresh too. I might try them out one more time to give the grinder a try, but wouldn't return for their basic sandwich. The portion is just too small for the price point.

Around 10:30 on a Saturday, lots of individuals were streaming in for takeaway food. No one was sitting in the restaurant. All of us ordered egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches with various meat options: turkey, sausage, bacon. With the added meat, two sandwiches was just over $9 (including tip). The menu board mentions bagels, but apparently they don't have bagels. Hard roll is a classic way to go in that case. Pretty standard breakfast sandwich in the end, but it really hit the spot.

I've been here four times for lunch. Great sandwiches all freshly made. It's one heck of a lot easier to get into and out of here than other sandwich places. Prices seem reasonable to me for the quality of food. They have a huge menu board with all sorts of selections which often have various sauces. Today my sandwich had apple and avocado. I will continue to stop here for lunch. Fast, convenient and delicious.

These ladies are so sweet and accommodating. We filled our bellies here before going climbing at Central Climb. You should do the same.

Luckily I was able to find parking and there was a line waiting to go into Ken's corner. I didn't mind the wait since I really wanted to eat here. I'm glad I did, it was moving, and they got people in and out of the restaurant . The workers are pleasant and very helpful when deciding what to order off the menu. As I mention it was my first time there, we ordered the coconut French toast and shared the surf & turf egg Benedict. Everything was worth the wait and tasted amazing. I'm already planning my next visit to try something else on the menu. Food came out presentable and hot. Glad I came here because it's prob one of the best breakfast spots in the area.

Considering other breakfast options on this side of CT this is why Kens get a 5*…read more.. Kens is a small breakfast place in glastonbury, and there always seems to be a line out the door (for a good reason). Once inside tho, the waitresses and busboys are always super friendly. I love that the waitresses always stop by for a quick chat when they see you. The eggs benedict is super amazing here. Actually everything is but thats my fav. French toast super amazing too, especially when they have the egg nog French toast on special. They always have two flavored coffee options which i love. And the home fries are always well seasoned and crispy on the outside and oft in the middle. The only downside really to kens is the wait which sometimes goes out the door. They don't take reservations and they don't have a sign in, so it kinda sucks for someone like me with Rheumatoid arthritis because I cant stand for very long, so we cant go on the weekends. But we went twice during the week this week and the wait was very short. So if you want a great breakfast at a decent price, nice wait staff, and you're near glastonbury, Kens is a place to check out for sure!

There's no Happy Hour here and the mixed drink menu has no prices. For my first drink, I'm trying the Mine Hill Manhattan made with Mine Hill bourbon, Mine Hill Amaro, cherry (garnish?) and Angostura bitters. This tastes great! Nice Amarena cherry garnish too. We are trying the Nacho Platter made with tortilla chips, melted cheese, pinto beans, tomatoes, black olives, scallions, sour cream and fresh salsa. This is a big plate! These are really good! I am having the Thai Lettuce Wraps with chicken). You can also have panko fried avocado. It is also made with carrots, charred chickpea quinoa salad (red bee honey from Weston, CT), sesame noodles, cucumbers, bibb lettuce and crushed peanuts. They use a house made Thai peanut Asian ginger and orange ginger sauces. This is real good! It's light and easy to eat. For my last drink, I'm having the Peach Mint Whiskey made with Ole Whiskey Peach Whiskey, ginger beer, fresh mint, lime juice, agave nectar and a lime garnish. The mug is nice and cold. This is light and delicious! What a great time here!

From american to mexican to indian cuisine. Interesting. Internet says this is classic for a restaurant with no specialty and relies on frozen food. Tasted like it. In addition, The waitress asked us if we wanted our drinks "topped off" (water & a sprite). She then took our drinks to the back WITH OUR STRAWS and filled them. After we left we looked it up and it said this was a major health code violation....yikes. Not impressed will not return

Max Fish will have something great for any seafood and fish lover. Everything I tried here was…read moregreat, with great dish combinations as well as perfectly cooked fish. We had the sampler to start where every item was either fresh raw seafood or some clever seafood mix. The calamari salad has some great sauce with it and the trio of crudo has some wonderful fish. The Grilled Atlantic Swordfish was perfection. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and it went so well with the romesco. All the sides worked so well together and it is one of the most well put together dishes I've had. I also tried the scallops. The ricotta gnocchi with the Marsala sauce is fantastic and the scallops are cooked perfectly as well. Very rarely do you get a seafood place that knows both how to cook it and how to pair it but Max Fish does so expertly.

The 1 star rating is based on food ONLY. My server Dominic was so kind and attentive along with all…read morethe other staff they all deserve 5/5 stars!! I have been coming to max fish for some time now and between dinner drinks apps and dessert for 2-3 people you average $300 which is fine but recently the past two times I've come here the food just hasn't been as good as before making it not nearly worth almost a Car payment amount. The only item consistently delicious is the buffalo shrimp otherwise everything has been a hit or miss. I got oysters and they tasted a tad funky and I got the seafood pasta dish and it did not have much flavor besides the red pepper flakes, which I put in it. Otherwise it tasted very plain and bland and watery which was disappointing since I was excited for it and for $40. The dessert option brown butter cookie just tasted very bland as well seemed like the cookie packs I buy at the grocery store and make at home.
