“It's a descent ice cream stand, few options to choose from and everything else. When the Sun Flowers are fully grown its a great place to take in, relax, and take photos of.

That being said the place usually has a bit of a line to go through, the ice cream has been getting alittle bit more expensive to the point as a local I only go maybe once per year in the Summer.”

“Excellent bread and sandwich combos. The shop's staff are friendly and patient. Worth the drive from Norwich!”

“Excellent service that pairs up with excellent food! You can tell Charlene’s family enjoys what they do. Order your meal the way you like it. I’ve never had a bad meal.”

“my wedding cake came out, absolutely beautifully. We are not big on cake, but this was truly some of the tastiest cake I’ve ever had. We went with white cake, vanilla frosting, and lemon filling. The lemon filling was just enough and not too overpowering. The display of the cake was beautiful as well. You will not be let down by choosing this bakery.”

“We had a small get together with high school friends. Couldn't have asked for better service, Katie was super. The food was great. Everyone had the best time. Would recommend to anyone.”

“awesome place for drinks! food was great too!”

“It’s just a WOW time you wouldn’t expect and huge space for any event.
Bar available, awesome food. You need to get your DJ or they have very reasonable DJs to suggest.
All together The French Club has a priced package for any venue that is reasonable and affordable for an average family. That’s my opinion. I’ve been to two events and been extremely impressed with the freedom to have fun if no one gets out of control, great catered food and awesome bar available. An all in one package. Or you can have your own DJ and catered meal. They are so easy to work with.
Check them out! Great Venue!”

“We visited before dinner time on a weekday but they still had a steady flow of customers. The gentleman mixologist working day shift was awesome (I’m horrible with names) very interactive, professional and fun. We moved to a table to eat at shift change and were not disappointed. The fritters were great, sweeter than I like but still impressed with the flavors and appreciated they were cooked through for the generous sizes! Quesadillas were perfect and thick! The surf and turf…. The only thing I could say bad was there was only two shrimp, however they were HUGE and butterflied beautifully. The steak was tender and cooked perfectly. The portions will never have you saying “that’s all for the price?” You guys are doing a great job! Can’t wait to come back and get deeper into the menu!”

“Freshly cooked, crab rangoons are amazing, shrimp dumplings are perfect, eat in so you get it hot and fresh!”

“We get takeout all the time here and really don't understand the bad reviews. They're incredibly nice and fast with our food. Its hot, fresh, and tasty every time. You'll have us as customers as long as we live nearby!”

“love this Dunkin staff is very friendly.”

“Just visiting from out of state (NY) and stopped in late for a bite. Never had a meal at Johnny Rockets. The Mgr., Mike greeted us with a warm smile and seated us. Very friendly and made us feel at home. Our server, Becky was great. Working hard with a smile . Very pleasant to talk to. Food arrived quickly and was delicious. Original burger and cheese fries and tuna salad sandwich. Very pleased. Looking forward to eating at Johnny Rockets again in the future”

“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!”

“What a wonderful first time experience just breakfast and things my husband had the Greek omelette this morning absolutely fabulous and their home fries with the onions are to die for. We will be back.”

“Great food, service and atmosphere. Always a good time. Love popping over the border for Weidelespizza & Pub. Never had a bad experience.”

“Tonight was Taco Tuesday. The food is excellent! The Birria Tacos were perfectly prepared. And, the Churros filled with caramel and cream, dipped in chocolate were so delicious. Service was terrific. Check it out. you won't be disappointed.”

“First time trying Longo’s in Plainfield, and I was really happy with the experience. I got pizza and wings delivered, and everything arrived fresh, hot, and tasting great. The pizza had good flavor, and the wings were a solid choice too. Definitely a great local spot, and I’ll be ordering from here again.”

“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo”

“the best coffee I've ever had Cadbury caramel with cold foam”

“food was excellent and tater tots a highlight, when are you coming back to the UK? we missed you in London!”

“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”

“First time eating at the “Onion”, Was very impressed! Best Pizza I’ve had in a long time!”

“I recently tried the Italian Combo at Golden Pizza Restaurant and it absolutely delivered. The sandwich was loaded with fresh deli meats, perfectly sliced cheese, crisp lettuce, and ripe tomatoes, all brought together with just the right amount of oil and seasoning. Every bite had great flavor and balance.

What really stood out was the size. This thing was huge and easily one of the most filling sandwiches I’ve had in a while. You definitely get your money’s worth.

If you’re looking for a classic, no nonsense Italian combo done right, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back.”

“Food was AMAZING!!! Must try the Irish nachos ☘️”

“I love Vocatura’s . The hard grinder rolls are the best for grinders. Very good deli meats and cheeses and prices are very good. Amy’s mom makes the best carrot cake. And brownies & big choc chip cookies are yummy. A full range of Italian cookies you can buy by the pound. & other assorted pastries like apple turnovers and eclairs- all very good, spinach pie etc
They offer breakfast sandwiches too and make great pizzas. We’ve been going here for years”

“Great people and great food! One of our all time favorites. Their basket of fries are amazing! Maria and family are like family to us! 🍕”

“Highly recommended! Food is always amazing! Been going here for a few years.. owner is pleasant, helpful and interacts with his customers. Ordered 4 pizzas and 3 large grinders and not only were they delicious but the owner also brought everything to our vehicle for us! Top notch service!!”

“Our usual go-to for take out or a nice night out! The staff and bartenders are helpful and friendly. Food is always wonderful and I love the rotating specials menu.”
