“Best ice cream I've ever had. I knew when they opened up 2 minutes from my house it would be dangerous! Great flavor combinations and always fresh.“

“Absolutely love this Starbucks, the atmosphere is amazing the staff are wonderful people. They take the time to remember their customers and their orders. Place is always clean, out of all the Starbucks I have been to this location has been the best.

Parking: Large parking lot .“

“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

Parking: Parking is free and enough space

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access for wheelchairs and enough room space to move around.“

“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.“

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

“We had our annual holiday celebration here last weekend and it was FABULOUS. The atmosphere is so very different and the drinks, food and service were outstanding. I also absolutely loved the fact that this is a small business and Tina and Evan are super wonderful humans and so easy to work with. I would highly recommend Fable Underworld and will be back soon!“

“If you want authentic Mexican take out this is your place!! Food is soo good and authentic! HOME MADE TORTILLAS is something you don’t find everywhere. Plus the family who owns it are the nicest and most hardworking people.“

“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.“

“I tried this spot for the first time two weeks ago and have already been back several times since—I’m hooked! The shakes are amazing, and the protein cookies are truly the best I’ve ever had. Not only is the food delicious and macro-friendly, but the owners are also kind, personable, and professional. The welcoming atmosphere makes every visit enjoyable, and I’m already looking forward to my next shake and cookie!“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“As a former military serviceman I walked in and immediately felt at home. This place pays tribute to servicemen and women like few others. The service was amazing, the gentleman behind the counter was one of the nicest I’ve come across. He was prompt and attentive and kept a smile on. I’m beyond impressed and would recommend to ANYONE that loves good BBQ at a fair price!“

“Just had the couch potato on Eden Ave! Got the Jamaican potato and the sweet baby tater, with a side of mac and cheese. Everything was 10/10 delicious! Mac & cheese tasted homemade, portions were huge! could only finish half of my potato, no long wait and we called in for pickup. Will 100% be returning to try the other flavors!“

“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!“

“Killer roadside hotdog stand! Quick and delicious. He's got 2 daily specials: dog, snack and a canned soda for $5 or 2 dogs for $8. can add chili/cheese for and extra buck. 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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Beer is great! Several different options.
Great chances at fun like trivia, bingo, comedians, etc.
However, the music they play is always horrific and loud. Can’t even hold a conversation when around the table. Doesn’t matter the day or event, the taste in music makes me not want to come back! Have asked to change but it never happens, and when ask to lower it lasts for a few minutes but goes back up.
Food is great! Love the people that prepare the food!
I will still go here but honestly want to bring head phones to tune out the murder music.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“We tried Delta Pizza for the first time tonight and it was awesome! We got a baked penne dinner with meatballs and a pizza with mushroom and pepperoni…The baked penne was well put together and the sauce and meatballs tasted homemade, it had an amazing taste…The pizza was very good too…Will definitely order from them again!🍕“

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

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

“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!“

“We love Ryders!! Ice cream is fantastic and Lynn does a lot for the community. Such a great addition to Meriden.“

“Great E-BAT sandwiches and nice service.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I love coming to Steve's for the feel of a good home cooked meal. Best comfort food around and the service is great. Just tried the Meat Pie Empanadas tonight and they're my new favorite! If you're in the mood for some good smokehouse or real Canadian food this is the place to go.“

“This is the best diner hands down. The food is top notch, very fresh everything nothing premade except the coffee. Hawaiian pancakes are delicious, fluffy, and perfect, and so is everything else. Darlene and the crew word really hard to make sure everyone is satisfied and happy.“

“The food blew me away for a tavern. It was delicious from the appetizer to the desert. Best meatball I ever ate. Would definitely drive the distance back to eat here again.“

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

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

“FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE STAFF. FOOD IS FRESH AND WELL PREPARED .“

“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!“

“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 💪🏼“

“good place.“
