“I'm new in the Bristol area. One day I decided to come eat at friendlys and ever since I've been coming here. They are friendly here, the food is always fresh, neatly served and delicious. I love it and so does my 9 year old daughter. I'd recommend friedlys to others any day , and I do actually. My niece comes here too now with me all the time

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

“I recently tried the chicken parm grinder at Mad River Creamery & Deli, and it was a really solid choice. The chicken cutlet was nicely breaded, tender, and held up well under the sauce. The marinara was flavorful — tangy with a hint of sweetness — and there was a generous amount of melted cheese that pulled everything together. The bread was fresh and hearty with a nice toasted soft crunch to it , the kind of roll that didn’t get soggy after a few bites, which made the sandwich feel substantial but balanced. I liked that there was a good ratio of chicken to sauce to bread. Service was friendly and efficient, owner welcomed us and provided free ice cream samples as we waited for our grinders ( husband got the steak and cheese for his 3rd time ) being a deli, the portion felt more like a meal than a quick snack. The atmosphere at Mad River Creamery & Deli is welcoming — cozy and laid-back, perfect for grabbing a bit with a friend (or after getting some ice cream). Already know what I want when I return . Thanks again !“

“Excellent service and amazing food/coffee!!!“

“This place is absolutely excellent. Don’t be fooled by the size of the restaurant, the quality and service speaks for itself. You’ll surely come back for more. Their specialty rolls are outstanding and rather unique.“

“What a terrific place. Great selection of teas, and some snacks too, and in an environment that will take you back to a time before Downton Abbey. Tina is a breath of fresh air and has just the right selection of knickknacks and other gifts!“

“Possibly my favorite spot in CT. The atmosphere and customer service is wonderful and the food is SOOOO good!“

“Carlos was great...very friendly and personable! We stopped in on our way through town, not knowing what to expect. We ordered smoothies and acai bowls. The bowls were the largest I had ever seen and were delicious. Everything is made with care and definitely worth the wait!“

“Our food and service were outstanding. We came in from out of town and loved everything we ordered. We will definitely be back k next time we visit our son.“

“Walking by The Lab on our way to Leaps and Bones, I always look at the creative menu posted in the window of The Lab. Today my pup got some treats and I took home a sandwich that was spectacular! I’m sure my pup and I will both get treats every time we go to Factory Square in the future!“

“So after a long 2 and a 1/2 hour drive, deciding where to eat, I found myself at this fancy bagel shop. The staff is so friendly.The cashier Natalie is the best. The food here is awesome, the best bacon egg and cheese I've ever tasted. I'm definitely coming back for more.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Golden Mango is truly a gem! Joe, the owner and head sushi chef, delivers an unforgettable dining experience every single time. His passion and precision come through in every bite, and the Omakase was absolutely outstanding—beautifully presented, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Joe’s warmth and genuine hospitality make you feel like more than just a guest; you feel like a friend. If you’re looking for world-class sushi and an exceptional experience, Golden Mango is the place to go.“

“we used Mission BBQ catering for my daughter's wedding. From our tasting appt through the wedding reception itself, Mission BBQ blew us away! Their staff at the restaurant and catering staff were fantastic. The food was so good! Plentiful and tasty BBQ.“

“Best baked potatoes EVER!!! Will be coming back very soon!“

Lots of topping options including like 4 or 5 different mustards. There's a picnic table if you want to sit and eat. The owner is friendly and helpful. CASH ONLY!“

“Great spot to vend Lucky Burrito Art Thank you for having us! Really friendly staff and atmosphere!“

“Absolutely some of the best beer brewed in Connecticut, even New England. Not just great IPAs. Fantastic clean lagers, specialty, and even smoked beers.
Bartenders are always fast, friendly and knowledgeable, especially Aiden and Manny. They also sell four packs of different beers at the brewery that are not available anywhere else, and they are usually pretty freaking awesome.
Food in the kitchen is consistently good. Highly recommend the Shroom pie for vegetarians, One of my favorites! Seating outside and chill out upstairs as well, depending on what suits you that day.
Highly recommended!“

“Staff could not be more pleasant and polite. I love that it’s on the quiet side compared to a place like Starbucks. We come to Lions Den often even though it’s quite a distance from our residence. Coffee is great!“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“my fiance and i decided to try last night, and we loved them! i don't normally like sushi, but i'm pregnant and was craving it so the california roll that comes in the dinner box was a safe choice and it was AMAZING! we will definitely be returning! our new favorite food spot!“

“Factory Square is a huge old factory that was converted into a mixed-use space. Parking was free and plentiful; you have the option to park on street or in their huge lot. It's located on a paved bike trail too; the entrance by the bike path didn't have an elevator but on the side entrance, there was one. The space was spacious, loved the exposed pipes, bricks, and the historic feel.

There were a few businesses that we visited on this occasion. The first one was Perkatory Coffee for some caffeine; then Rosie's Royal chocolate for some sweets; then The Lab for lunch; finally, Witchcraft Brewery for a beer. Service from these places were great. There were tables and seats in the hallway you can dine and relax at. Other businesses include, a bakery, a pet shop, CrossFit, escape room, arcade, etc.

I think this is a great use of space and a fun spot to hang out at. I loved all the options there. I think they're constantly adding new businesses too. Overall, a fun spot and worth the visit!“

“Awesome Beer! Super friendly staff!
Mark the head brewer and owner will make you feel right at home.
Played in the Inaugural Skee-Ball Tournament in the winter of 2025.
Great time. Well organized.
AND ON top of that- Relic has over 20 pinball machines. You’ll love the beer, the people and the pinball. Hooray for Relic Brewing it helped me get through the winter.“

“Best birria tacos I’ve had outside of Mexico!! Holy hell! And that guacamole is so flavorful too!! This was my first time ordering but definitely won’t be my last! Thank you for such a delicious dinner!! 🥂“

“We go often. Even took out of state family visiting and they loved the food. They are reasonably priced (hopefully to stay) and you leave full. Friendly and clean.“

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I tried beers from Lasting Brass at bars before, but this was my first visit to the brewery.

The brewery occupies a separate building near a picturesque area with a river. It has 2 separated outdoor patios and a small area indoors. No food is served inside, but food trucks might are onsite occasionally.

I already had several favorite beers from Lasting Brass, because they were not shy to experiment with flavors. So this time I tried all beers they had on tap. Luckily, there is an option to order a small pour. I have to say, that some beers really impressed me. All the beers I tried were solid, crushable and tasty. But the special place in my heart is reserved to their flagship beers - Java Bloom (Imperial Stout) and Contusion (Sour IPA). These 2 were really bursting with flavor, that was complex and layered. On top of the beers, I thoroughly enjoyed the community in this place. It was filled with regulars, everyone knew each other and it was just a really cozy and friendly environment.

I do recommend this brewery to everyone and it is worth a dedicated trip.“

“Good pizza last night from Delta, having it took a little bit of the sting away from that UCONN loss to Michigan!“

“best lil diner in wtby fast friendly and awesome food.“

“Food Was Good!! Fast Serving!!“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“We absolutely love coming here for lunch. They also stock J Rene coffee beans. I recommend the prosciutto croissant and the turkey apple panini. Cozy spot to spend some time as well!“

“Best spot for some delicious healthy breakfast! and shakes to die for ..chunky monkey 😋 ♥️“

“Great E-BAT sandwiches and nice service.“

“All I can say about Ryders ICE Cream is YAHOOOOO, YEAA, YUM YUM, LETS GO!“

“I just got married at Kinsmen Brewing and wow! The food, the space, the stage, the decor....It was an absolute pleasure working with Michele. Everyone was so nice and the day was executed perfectly. People walked out of there saying it was the best wedding they ever been to. I'm so glad I chose Kinsmen!!!“

“Great service, birria tacos were probably the best I’ve ever had. The seasoning was amazing, and the meat melted in your mouth. You can taste that everything was made with fresh ingredients. Margaritas were great also, fresh and not filled with sweeteners and sour mix. We will definitely be back!“

“We are up from Texas for the summer and I told my wife I wanted to try restaurants that we have not tried before. My SIL and her husband came by and they let me pick the restaurant and so I chose knowing nothing about this restaurant. The food was amongst the best that I have ever had and the others agreed. The Hanger Chicken was my choice and I can not speak to highly of it. The spiciness was very good but the sauce was fantastic. Raven was our server and she was fantastic and joked along with us. Love you Raven.“

“Just had our first meal here. The entire restaurant is filthy. Our dishes that held our silverware were reused. Our table was dirty To where we washed it with our drinking water. We were ready to leave but had put in our order and wanted to try food. The food Was decent but pricey for amount you got. Called manager over to show him how thick the dust was on ledge where everyone sits And eats. He said he was new. Not an excuse. Restaurant was empty now I know why. The whole place smells dirty as soon as you sit down and have to breathe in one spot. This restaurant will not last if things don't Change. It will be a repeat of Chips restaurant all over again.“

“Dined in tonight and everything from the food to the service was amazing! Michelle and the entire staff were so helpful and attentive. We got the ribs which were fall off the bone, fries, and the slaw and everything was fresh and delicious. Will definitely be back!“

“Freshest sushi, many rolls to choose from on the all you can eat with friendly service. I drive 45 min once a month. love this place!“

“It is in and old Friendly's restaurant building walls are map of Connecticut. Indoor and outdoor dining. Large selection of food. Relaxed atmosphere never rushed to eat and go . Friendly staff and food is brought out nice and hot French fries are nice and crispy and portions and are a good size enough to bring leftovers home .“

“Got seated promptly and the food and drinks were phenomenal. The service here was also exceptional. I would highly recommend.“

“great food and tasty. I'm trying different type of food and so far yummy“

“good place.“

“Crystal is the best in the world and if you don't like her I don't know what to tell you.“

“This is the only DD when i can get my coffee.
I have a DD about 2mns from my house but i rather drive all the way to exit 25 (i am by Naugatuck Valley Community College) to get it from this place. I work in Meriden and used to buy it over there however idk what happened 😐 that they started to make my coffee nasty. Mess up on my oders all the time. Asked for hazelnut shot and would give me a coffee tasting like pumkin spice 😫. Tried an other DD in Meriden and they never ever put sugar in the coffee even though i always ask for 6 sugars. Out of like 20times i went there ild say 2 maybe 3 times they put sugar 🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ so i tried this location on Kukas ln and hasn't failed me yet. They're quick, polite and make my coffee perfect 👌🏼 🥰. Keep up the good work 💪🏼“

“I go here almost daily. Simply the best.“
