“Amazing food and great staff!!!!!“

“I got takeout so I can't much speak to service or atmosphere.
The place was clean.
The person who took my order and the person who checked me out where both polite and efficient.
My natural bridge without olives was an excellent choice and an excellent sandwich.
Packed with flavor this half flatbread sandwich really hit the spot with a creative combination of flavors on perfectly tasty flat bread.“

“We went apple picking at Holmberg today, and somewhere between the rows of trees, I was reminded what the American dream really is. It isn’t money, houses, or yachts. It’s watching your toddler hold up an apple and proudly call it a ball. It’s sharing a warm apple cider donut with sticky fingers and sugared smiles. It’s the crisp Fall breeze, the sound of families laughing, and friends pausing to say hi as they pass by. America lives in these simple moments: in orchards, in small towns, in the kind of community where people still look out for one another. That’s the real America: built on family, friendship, and the quiet promise that you’re never alone. Because when you strip everything else away, we all want the same thing , to see our children grow up safe, happy, and loved. And that’s something worth standing together for. 🍎❤️🇺🇸 Thank you Holmberg for reminding me today why I love America.“

“The food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.“

“Rode my Harley from Hartford down to Mystic today to have lunch at Oyster Club. I was amazed at how good the oysters were. Absolutely delicious. I ordered the roast beef sandwich off the lunch menu. It was just as delicious. They even have a tree house with seating for dining. If I could give six stars, I would. I will definitely be back. If you are thinking about going there, then go. You won't be disappointed.“

“We are not from the area but live açaí bowls so we were excited to try somewhere new. We stopped here and were in and out. The bowls were affordable and much bigger than those I buy back home. They were SO delicious. Highly recommend!“

“After hearing from many friends that Jumbo Asian Bistro was so very good, we decided to try it. It did not disappoint! The food was so good and the service was wonderful! The atmosphere felt calm and peaceful and the decor was beautiful!if you are a coffee drinker and like strong coffee, the Vietnamese ice coffee was amazing. Already looking forward to our next visit!“

“We had a baby shower for my daughter and son-in-law at the Dog Watch Mystic, and I could not be happier with them. The tent and grounds were perfectly appointed, the food was fantastic, and the entire staff was wonderful. Thank you, Dog Watch!“

“Such a gem! The desserts were absolutely beautiful and they tasted just as incredible as they looked. The display case was so impressive, it honestly made it hard to choose. Everything looked fresh and crafted with care. I’ll definitely be back soon to make my way through more of the menu.“

“Hands down the best pizza sandwhich money can buy. Get the turkinator! This is hands down one of my alltime fave places in the world to go.“

“Everything I've had at Nanas has been excellent! my favs are the drinks, risotto balls, pizza and hot donuts! The staff is the best!“

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be back!“

“Best Ice Cream. Chocolate was delicious. Husband had Rum Raisin, loved it“

“I loved the ice cream. It was Hershey's, and the staff was super nice. The only objection that I might have is that they're dark chocolate. Ice cream had raspberry swirl. It would be nice to have just a dark chocolate. Ice cream for my wife. I had the cookies and cream with rainbow shots. Yum.“

“Been coming to dexters for a few years now, staff is super friendly and so accommodating. I honestly can’t get a protein shake anywhere else because to me nothing else is comparable. I recommend this place to so many people. The shakes and the staff are the reason I come back. Glad I stumbled across dexters.“

“We’ve been to the old location (several times) and the new one and it’s still one of our top 3 breweries to go to! Great beers, great staff and great pizza! Tox is definitely a must when traveling in or through CT and RI.“

“Great lunch! The price point is spot on for the quantity & especially quality of the fish. The local catch of the day for the fish & chips was Red Drum. Excellently seasoned batter & tasty flakey fillets. The fries were just the right amount of crispy & the salt & vinegar onion rings were def ride or die! Possibly the only fish & chip experience I’ve had that there was no need for any condiments. Well done to Peter & his amazing team. Looking forward to tautog & blackfish season showing up on the menu.“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“The Early Riser breakfast sandwich-💯“

“I ordered Thai by Thai via Door Dash for the first time today. I got the Drunken Noodles. OMG they were wonderful. They got here hot and I'm in Groton. Lots of chicken and veggies and just the right amount of spice. I will definitely order from them again“

“We just took my daughter for her 17th birthday, she originally wanted sushi. She looked at the menu and immediately changed her mind and chose to try her first seafood boil! She absolutely LOVED IT! The servers are fast and friendly and the food is GREAT! She chose snow crab legs and black mussels, my boyfriend had a crab cluster combo and I had a sausage boil combo. Everything was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. We will 100% be coming back!!!! Highly recommend!“

“Flan is phenomenal! Pernil is perfect, to stones delicious 😋, and the beans are out of this world!!! The owner is always gracious and sweet to me, very personable. They throw in a piece of skin in with the pulled pork. One of my my monthly stops❤️ potatoe balls are also great!“

“Its a binary option; take it or drive around the long way …DUH. The RV ticketing contrast between Cross Sound and Cape May/Lewes is night and day. On Cross Sound, rigs that are 23’ or longer you can only phone order your ticket (and pay double the price). No rhyme or reason why; operator takes the same information and enters it instead of you doing it online. Office hours are yours to guess…not listed. Just remember no guns and shut off your propan.“

“Best cold pressed juices! I’m a new Weekly “stopper”. I place an order on line generally 24hours prior to pick up. (So easy to order) pick up being just as quick and easy. Staff is always so kind and accommodating!! To be 💯 honest, these are THE FRESHEST juices around! I have tried many other cold pressed juices and these are not comparable!!! Karma uses fresh ingredients and the difference is in every sip! Literally Karma Kitchen juices WELL SURPASS ALL OTHER JUICES I’ve tried! No turning back!! I’m so grateful I found this place! 🥕🥒“

“Delicious !!!! People working there through the years are always fantastic !!! Always bring my Family , bring yours..they're the best thing that happened to breakfast and coffe . 😁“

“The best bakery in Mystic!! Best (and only) scratch made cupcakes and cakes in town, plus delicious breakfast sandwiches and other pastries“

“Stopped here after a girls day out book shopping, this place is awesome! Friendly, happy staff with healthy, delicious food!“

“I have been back in Dayton Ohio for a little over 2 years. I have tried to find a place that does breakfast as well as Jakes. I have found one that I like very much, but I have never seen eggs done over easy as fantastic as Jakes are. We were living on Fishers Island for 19 years before we moved back and we would take the ferry as often as we could . Jake and his family are welcoming to all.“

“One of my favorite local spots! Fun atmosphere and great food with indoor and outdoor dining and a great beer selection. . My family loves the charcuterie pretzel and their burgers. The corn bread is a must try.“

“The food here is wonderful! Nice atmosphere and a beautiful setting. We go every summer with a group of friends for their outdoor YARN concerts. Highly recommend. 5 stars.“

“Our server, Sher P was wonderful. The resturant was very busy but she was extremely intentional to make sure we were comfortable. Her customer service was outstanding. The food was very good as well. We both wanted salads (cobb salad and strawberry salad) and they were more than we could eat. Thank you Sher for such a great customer service experiance.“

“Super delicious, fast service, cool decor/venue and prices are great! Highly recommend!“

“They have CBD seltzers, unlike many of the other local establishments, which is very nice for a non-drinker like myself to be able to hang out with the cool kids, so to speak.

Generally good music.
Great regular crowd.“

“Black point pizza is always my go to when I want an absolutely amazing pizza. for me I have the cooks keep it in the oven a bit longer so it stands up when you pick it up to eat. the sauce is to die for also. if you like your pizza a little more firm just ask and the cooks are happy to make your food exactly as you like. minor the owner is a stand up guy and really did good with this recipe. the salads and his homemade balsamic dressing is the best I've had from anywhere. if you have not come out to black point you are really missing out. I promise you won't be disappointed 🍕 #gettotheoint #Blackpoint #thebestpizza #soooyummy #greatcustometservice“

“First time going to this place and the food is phenomenal! We Ordered some steak and ox tail with the sides of rice, collard greens and potato salad and everything was delicious! Owner provided good customer service as well! 10/10 highly recommend everyone to check this place out! You won’t be disappointed!“

“I work in the same plaza; my coworkers and I tried them for the first time today… Amazing! Be sure to stop in for a lunch menu. Their sandwiches are phenomenal. I had the shrimp one and my boss had the steak. Another person had the pork stew and the other had something from the dinner menu (not sure what). We all raved about the portions and deliciousness. A must try!!“

“We have been coming to David's place for a long time - usually very good. This time (7/23) was not the greatest. Ordered sea food salad roll toasted. It was not toasted and they have changed the sea food salad since last month. It was really good before - now it's more "Stop and Shop" type salad with big chunks. Before it was chopped up small and had a delicious taste. Also the chips were obviously the "bottom of the bag" ones. Sorry - just disappointed. We drove quite a few miles to eat there.“

“Truly amazing and AUTHENTIC Jamaican cuisine. This is definitely worth the trip and easily the go-to spot for food now. The menu offers just enough variety so there’s literally something for everyone. We love it!“

“Food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“Had a nice birthday lunch there and tried the excellent Scallops with mushroom risotto. Soups and desserts all made in house. I enjoyed my meal looking out at the water. The restaurant has been remodeled and is beautifully decorated.“

“Great food, Great service! We were surprised how quickly the food came out even though it was busy. Love that the meat is local (humanely raised) and the house music playing on the patio seating was top notch. Great craft beers from different local breweries.“

“The service was great, drinks were delicious and the pork chop….perfection!“

“love this place! good food, family friendly...great atmosphere and awesome popcorn!!“

“Ahhh…Niantic. Restaurants here do not need to work hard because Niantic itself is a joyful place. My Chicken Teriyaki dinner ($18) was excellent. Moist chicken, lovely presentation with broccoli florets ringing the chicken, carrot rounds (perfect) under the chicken, just the right amount of sauce and jasmine rice. A small salad with delicious dressing although it had that baffling watery quality and miso soup that was lukewarm preceded the dinner. My companion had the excellent Thai rice with chicken. The high top was wobbly. That’s the worst thing you can say about the experience. So easy to fix. I had the generous ginger martini, my partner enjoyed the Sam seasonal. It being Saturday of the Niantic Light Parade, we had an excellent view of the festivities-hence a 5 star atmosphere. In daylight, from our table, one can see the Niantic Bay. The young host attempted to shim the bottom of the table. Our server was pleasant. The loud blond server was not. It’s been a minute since we’ve visited The Spice Club. It’s worth another trip next time we’re thinking of Asian Fusion or Sushi.“

“I recently took my family to Twisters Ice Cream, and it was a delightful experience from start to finish! The variety of flavors is impressive, with something to satisfy every taste bud. My kids were thrilled with the colorful, fun options and couldn't stop talking about the unique toppings they got to choose from. The ice cream itself is creamy, rich, and bursting with flavor—easily some of the best we've had.

The atmosphere at Twisters is welcoming and family-friendly, with plenty of seating to oversee the Mystic River that made our visit even more enjoyable. The staff was incredibly friendly and patient, especially as our little ones took their time deciding what to order. We also appreciated the clean, well-kept environment, which made us feel comfortable and at ease.

Overall, Twisters Ice Cream is a must-visit spot for families. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cone or something more adventurous, you'll find it here. We left with smiles on our faces and are already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommended for a fun family outing.“

“love karaoke night, love the bartenders and service“

“Great atmosphere, great food. Family friendly! My daughter loves the music! Definitely recommend 💯!“

“Love the food and mango margarita.“

“They ripped me off for over 10 dollars. When I brought it to their attention they said they corrected it. They did not. Police were involved and even then Johnny refused to pay me back!! Horrible experience, even called Johnny in Rhode Island. No results.“
