“Swung by here on my way home from work for takeout and so happy I did. We had the sesame chicken, crab rangoon and beef teriyaki, all of which were delicious. Rangoons were especially tasty and plentiful!! Will be ordering from here again”

“Not really quite as bad as one would imagine. For a gas station fried chicken place it was fine. Their chicken sandwiches were exactly like the ones served in my junior high thirty years ago. Almost a walk down memory lane :)”

“Just had the pleasure of meeting Tony, who whipped up the best veggie patty sub I've EVER had at a Subway.He was super friendly & positive, which is a rarity in fast food workers. I remember when subway workers used to be called "sandwich artists", Tony was just that. Got it made perfect & quick!Give that man a raise or at least some kudos!”

“BEST Dunkin I've been to in a long time. The two young men working were so sweet and helpful. I will make the extra drive to come to this Dunkin again. The food tasted great and not like sanitizer like other dunkins.”

“This is a wondrous food experience! I needed a couple of hearty meals during a busy home project week. Ordering Bourbon Sirloin Tips and Grilled Salmon turned into fabulous combo meals, at least 2 1/2 days beyond the first dinner!”

“The Whole Enchilada is a casual spot for fresh, delicious Mexican food. The service is quick and friendly. After ordering at the counter, you can take a seat in the dining room. I found it to be comfortable and nicely decorated. Everything about this place is clean and welcoming.

Now for the food… The fish tacos are perfect! The fish is seasoned and prepared beautifully, the slaw is crisp and fresh, the amount of avocado is generous, and the sauce is so smokey and flavorful. Yum!!! The guacamole is also a hit, and I heard the empanadas are an 8/10. I’d love to come back!”

“Worst dinner I've had in years. The lettuce was OLD and Sandy. The cola was flat. The service was slow.”

“My daughter was giggling counting the eggs for their Easter display excitedly going on about the golden eggs they had hidden all and when we got in the car there was a golden egg in our bag! Thanks to the crew for noticing and making a little girls day!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bmuse Café is consistently amazing! Fresh, healthy, made-to-order food that never disappoints. The oriental salad with grilled chicken is my favorite, and their sides like potato salad, fresh fruit, and yogurt parfaits are delicious. Perfect spot for a quick, quality lunch — highly recommend!”

“I came here simply because I Googled Chinese food in Wallingford and looked for the best reviews. Well Diner’s Haven did not disappoint!! The best friend dumplings I have ever had and their Pad Thai was amazing. I’m coming back with my family next time!!”

“NOT DIET-APPROVED! That being said, if melted cheese and overly indulgent flavor is what you’re looking for, this place has you covered. No bathroom though, so watch out.”

“We found this place last winter and we cozied in here and sat here for hours talking. It’s clean. The people are so nice. The coffee is the best and the sweets are diverse and delicious.”

“It was our First time going there today with My husband and Everything we got was Delicious! I highly recommend going there! It was Wonderful, and I can't wait to go back there again!”

“This place is amazing in all regards, it is our go-to dining out spot of choice. As others have noted, the birria is absolutely incredible. The detail that brings my family in consistently is that it is a standard meat you can order any of their many offerings with. Kudos for that idea ! Note: They are no longer at 50 Rapallo avenue. They moved right around the corner to a more visible location that will get more foot traffic passing by, I hope it works out well for them. I believe the attached map has the new location correctly shown, the posted address has not been updated. As of mid April 2026, they were closed to renovate the new location, I was told their projected re-opening was going to be in early - mid May. Good idea to call first. If the owners or any customers have an update on that, it would be great to post. My daughter and I are suffering from La Casa Mania birria withdrawals and need a fix soon !”

“I had such a great time at Arrigoni for Mother's Day. The wine slushies were delicious, the staff is nice, the band and ambiance were great. An outstanding experience all around.”

“Amazing food, fabulous service, the best Sushi around by far! Taste, freshness,presentation and service cannot be beaten!”

“Debs was on my list of places to try for a bit! A new favorite spot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed corn chowder, hash, special blueberry pie stuffed French toast, and a special queso Philly cheesesteak “mess” which was like an omelet with all the Philly ingredients plus jalapeños. Deb joked and said I’d need a nap after the meal. Everything was SO GOOD!!! And I do enjoy a nap. Big fan. So many more things I can’t wait to try!”

“Delicious🥃Great service!!”

“Unique atmosphere with fabulous, diverse drinks.”

“I just did a birthday party there for one of my kids. They were so attentive, helpful, and friendly. We can't wait to come back again!”

“What a great spot! Bartenders were extremely attentive. I had mentioned that I had seen a bathtub drink in previous reviews - but they were no longer offering it, however they made it for me anyway! I thought that was very nice. My friend and I loved our drinks. We also ordered food - it isn’t made on site but we were very happy with what we got (truffle fries, mozzarella, artichoke bites) . We would love to come again. Thanks for everything !”

“I've been quite impressed every time I've grabbed something with these guys! First time tested out with slices which were good, then had a surprisingly good penne alla vodka with shrimp- which were cooked to perfection, and tonight I got a Ceaser salad with shrimp and some wings- all really good! The shrimp again was very flavorful and not overcooked. I'm glad they're nearby because Brasa Bella will definitely become a staple for us! 😁 Support your local small businesses!!”

“Last week, while I was in London for work, I stopped by Shah’s Halal Food. I usually avoid fast food or shawarma spots because of my strict diet, but I chose this place for two reasons: they serve halal food, and during a snowstorm it was the closest option available. I’m really glad I did it turned out to be a great experience. I ordered the Chicken Salad Bowl with grilled chicken chunks, cucumbers, lettuce, chickpeas, hummus, and a variety of flavorful sauces. It was perfect for my no-carb diet and everything was fresh, tasty, and very satisfying. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a halal, nutritious, and budget-friendly meal. The staff were also incredibly polite and welcoming.”
