7 Best American Restaurants near Griswold

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Overall a very popular place, lines moved quickly and service was good. I just wanted some clam cakes. Small order was ample and fresh. However, they were way over salted and not a lot of clams. Probably wouldn’t get them again, but would try something else.“

“Always friendly and the best atmosphere. The food is always great to go as well! Kim & Joe are the best!“

“Highly recommend this spot if you're near the Foxwoods Resort and Casino! I had the Roy Rogers which is just Pepsi and grenadine syrup. That was awesome! And for the meal I had the short rib grilled cheese. It was packed to the brim with meat and flavor. The pickled onions were also a nice touch. The service was great all around.“

“Very cool, rustic, old school dive with friendly people, both patrons and servers. We only had the pretzels, which were solid. They were having musical bingo, which was fun. They have pool tables, as well as live entertainment. Loved all the wood around the room.“
