“03.31.25- 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Ep.73- Somewhere In Time 👍🏾 3175 Gold Star Hwy. (Rt.184) Mystic, CT Somewhere In Time is the Sister Restaurant of ONE of my Favorite Breakfast Spots named 'When Pigs Fly' located in Waterford, CT. So I was hoping this spot was as good or better than her "Sister"!!😁 Upon walking in and recording with my phone I received a surprised and warm welcome from the Server Susan so that was a great start!😎❤️ The atmosphere was really cool, but it is divided into two sections, a front & back divided by a partial wall. The service was very warm, fast and welcoming so I felt like I was at Home. Let's get to the food. I dropped in this morning and ordered: 1. The Sampler (2 Eggs, toast, one buttermilk Blueberry Pancake, one Texas french toast, two strips of bacon, two sausage links, home fries, toast & coffee) $19.00 👍🏾 2. Cheesy Grits /bacon $6.00 💣 The Cheesy Bacon Grits were OH SO GOOD and thick too! They were the bomb 💣. The Sampler was a Delicious & healthy serving size! There was no way I could have finished all of it in one sitting. Everything besides the French Toast was Amazingly Dope! The French toast was super dry so one bite was enough.😁 The Sampler easily earned a thumbs 👍🏾 I loved my visit at Somewhere In Time so I highly recommend this Breakfast spot! You need to get your a** down there right away and tell em' Big Al Mayo sent you✌🏾 See you on the Rebound, Peace ✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ -Big Al Mayo”

“What a great place!!! I had sautéed portobello mushroom spinach and cheese sandwich which was delicious. They also had something I’ve never seen fluffernutter ice cream which was amazingly delicious. The place was adorable with the soda counter brought back lots of good memories. I love the sign that said no WiFi talk to someone :)”

“Great place to order from - I use Grub Hub and It's Delicious”

“This place have delicious drinks. My family and I love it!. Everyone there is super nice.”

“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!”

“The food is fresh and comes out fast. The menu is compact, yet it varies greatly. The workers are very polite, and your order is completely customizable without incredible price hikes. 9/10 recommend”

“Great food very fresh and tasty!”

“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.”

“04.29.25- 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' Ep.90 💎Buford's Family Restaurant💎 126 Poquonnoc Rd. City of Groton, CT I am so glad that I was tipped off about this small spot by a fan because I have just discovered another 'Big Al's 💎 Gem Spot'. I walked into a warm welcome from the owner Margaret, who was also my server and she was such a sweet lady with a great personality. She was so friendly and great with all her customers and I sat there smiling the whole time. Buford's does not have a huge FB following with just over 1k followers but it is truly an Amazing Hidden 💎 Gem breakfast spot of Groton!❤️ I walked in the door ready to eat so I ordered and reviewed a couple popular menu items: 1. Western Omelet w/Home fries & wheat toast $13.00 💣 2. Buford's Big Breakfast w/pancakes $13.20 💣 The service and atmosphere of Buford's is very laid back, comfortable and when it comes to the food they don't disappoint! I started with the Western Omelet and I ate quite a bit of it because it was the bomb 💣 I knew that I couldn't finish all the food so I moved on to those fluffy delicious pancakes with two easy over eggs, Home fries, crispy bacon and sausage patty. It was all amazingly Dope and easily earned a bomb 💣 as well! I had an amazing experience at Buford's and I understand why the fans have shared great experiences dining there. You really need to get your a** down there right away and check out the latest 'Big Al's 💎 Gem Spot' for yourself. ❤️ Thank you Miss Margaret ❤️ 'See you on the Rebound, peace out!' ☝🏾❤️ -Big Al Mayo”

“We visited here for the first time last night and we were not disappointed! The dining room is a bit dark, but it’s nice and tastefully decorated. Our server was Christina and she was great. Very friendly and personable. She was very genuine and not faking it for the job. The food was FANTASTIC! I ordered the famous Bisque Bomb, which was pricey, but worth every penny. My husband had a cup of bisque and the B&B tacos with shrimp, and he said both were very good. If you’re in the area this summer, give Ford’s Black and Blue a try. Great food and great staff.”

“Such a nice place, new place with authentic dumplings, can’t wait to try again! So good!”

“Great pizza, friendly service, 2 NY Slice Pizza Slices and a drink for 8 bucks, you can't beat that. Best Pizza Around!”

“Great food. Friendly faces And service”

“We were vacationing in Mystic for a long weekend and Outer Light came recommended as a brewery to stop by in the area and it did not disappoint. Kurt was bartending and was awesome to chat with. I work in the brewing industry in Pennsylvania and was excited to see their set up. He gave me a short tour of the facilities and told me about their brews and cycles. It was a great experience and awesome beers. The vibes were solid, and we had a great time.”

“Nice, friendly local pub "where everybody knows your name." Try to stop here when I'm in the area. Nice selection of bottled and draft beer. Good food including some homemade desserts.”

“Overall the food is good and fresh but I found it off putting that the chicken was served cold just like the fish, and the last time I went there were several topping options unavailable. Since they seem to have gotten rid of dull whip I honestly have no reason to go here anymore, but there's nothing really wrong with the place.”

“Sept 16 Par Four hosted the 45th Class Reunion of Fitch High School! The sunset & cool, breezy evening was matched only by the excellent wait staff and delicious buffet! We all had such a great time!”

“The food was great. The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was remarkable. Will definitely be coming back again and again”

“Food is always fresh, delicious, and quick. The atmosphere is friendly and laid. Try a mango jalapeños margarita!! (It’s not on the menu but it’s delicious)”

“We got our order of Monkey Brains and Rainbow Roll as take out. it was ready when we for there and was absolutely delicious! Everything was very fresh and the presentation was very attractive!”

“Food was great and staff was accommodating of my wife's food allergies. Apps came out at the same time as our entrees, but the apps were hot while entrees were only warm. It was busy and during the outdoor art festival so it's understandable.”

“good treat for the family”

“great food great customer service”

“Not much to look at from the outside, but very deceiving. Our dinner was excellent. My husbands muscles were served perfectly. And, I had the best and most unusual salad. And our server, Adam, was by far the best ever. Olio is lucky to have him.”

“Karen and team catered an event for us over the weekend. The process was seamless. The food was terrific. They mapped everything out for us based on the expected crowd size. They even delivered, including plates and silverware. Highly recommended.”

“Screens for any sport televised. A whole wall of screens in the enclosed patio. Often hosting Live music. People having a good time and keeping it chill. Not too much drama age 25-35. Fewer 55 plus. Food is hot cocktail are stiff, brews are fresh and cold. Good vibe.”

“Good sushi for a great price”

“The husband and wife are so very kind and welcoming. As my toddler made his decision for his hot dog they were patient, kind and presented one of the best creative hot dogs ever. Thank you for sharing supreme hot dogs with the Naval Base.”

“We ate 4:30PM June 26th 2025 enjoyed the food service was great and friendly we will be back soon Anne and Jack”

“Staff is friendly. Food is excellent! Best burger!! 5 stars”

“10/10 I can’t say enough positive things about this fantastic family ran bar!! The immediate comfort you feel walking in the door, to the care of the owner to the sister to the daughter to the entire aspect of the patrons with the bar! Absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend!”

“A wonderful local Irish pub, staff and patrons here are super friendly. The food is good too, but check the kitchen hours. They sometimes have karaoke, live music, or trivia, and when none of these are going on, there is a jukebox.”

“Salt and pepper shakers were sticky and nasty to touch. Food is good otherwise. They need waitresses or waiters. Not the dude with a hoodie on all the time.”

“Arrived in town and craving a good chowder. While here we also ordered the crab cakes and grilled swordfish. Done to perfection with excellent seasoning. Heirloom tomato and watermelon salad was a great starter. This hotel restaurant did not disappoint.”

“Our first time coming here, staff went above and beyond to accommodate a special request. Food was delicious and atmosphere inviting. Will certainly be back ❤️”

“the best italian grinder in SE CT”

“I found this hidden gem while on a vacation staying in Groton, CT. Awesome atmosphere and I am telling you some amazing food to be served from a bar. I ordered a hot ham and cheese grinder. It was Cinco de Mayo so I drank Margaritas. They were delicious and they had a full liquor bar. The bartender was super nice and personable. They have a lot of Navy and submen patrons due to its to the base. They have TVs and pool tables and a very fun bar atmosphere. Pop in and have some good drinks and food. They also have an outsubmeneating area.”

“We did the hibachi table for my bachelorette party, it was a fun time. The food was tasty, the hibachi chef was entertaining to watch. Overall it was a solid experience.”

“Best burger I have eaten since I was kid 🧒 the fries are hands down better than any I ever had”

“Y'know, others talk smack about this galley but they haven't been to other navy galleys. For the price i'm paying, god bless those two women on the speed line always smiling as I say thank you.”

“Gold Star is an institution in Groton. The food is fun Friday night cheat food. The people who work here are amazing and somehow keep smiles on their faces even when they are SLAMMED. And they are slammed often.”

“Excellent service , great sandwiches and salads and the Potato salad is one in a millions (I would pay for that recipe) 😉 seriously I’m a potato salad snob and yours is the bomb.”

“My food was delicious. However, I have one suggestion, and an observation. First, back off on the sugar. My beans were sweet, ribs too sweet, the Chinese restaurants around here have taken to adding so much sugar, it doesn’t even taste savory, only sweet. Beef up on the black bean sauce, throw in some hoisin, don’t be afraid to season it. When I go to a Chinese restaurant, I want Chinese food, not Chinese American food. “Chinese” vegetables have practically disappeared off the menu replaced with regular veggies. Where’s the Bok Choi, the bitter melon, the black mushrooms, the closest I can find is a bit of bok choi, bamboo shoots, maybe water chestnuts and that’s it. I don’t want carrots and peas in my fried rice, it’s not right, I want bean sprouts! Ok, back to the review. Good points: hot food, beans perfectly cooked but it said spicy and it wasn’t spicy at all, the Sichuan wonton were supposed to be spicy too. In short, increase seasonings and spices, back off the sugar, and it would be perfect. The food was delivered hot, well packaged and wrapped thoughtfully. Presentation 100%. I will definitely be back to try again.”

“I work with special needs and wasn't able to leave my van , she came out and took my money and made the food for me AND brought it back to me, the thoughtfulness and kindness was so appreciated, I come here a minimum of 1x a week and always great service! This location is definitely one of my favorites, thank you Rhonda!”

“Tried Dan's Rice Box for the first time and we were not disappointed!!! The food was fresh and delicious. we ordered delivery and it got to us fast and still hot. love that we can order online and even gives an option to leave any needs on each item. The driver Angel was awesome!!!! We will definitely be ordering again!!!”

“Wow first time going here tonight and we all love how fresh all of it tastes and the lady we dealt with was so polite. This will be our go to spot, general Tso extra spicy is spot on. Well done????”

“Amazing cakes made for my kids birthdays. Won’t be disappointed.”

“Omg have not had any of this in 17 years. Just like we remembered . It was great . See ya again for more .”

“cool comfortable. and the music is usually pretty good”

“I've always loved going to Jersey Mike's because rheir food is so good but yesterday was different. I ordered online and when I got home after a very long day at work my order was completely wrong. I ordered a number 17 and whatever I got had buffalo sauce which I clearly didn't ask for. when I called they offered for me to go back the same night and they'll remake it but it was late and I didn't want to have to drive all the way back. I was so disappointed because I've never had an issue with them before.”

“The food was delicious and was made in a timely manner I ordered a BBQ chicken pizza and it was delicious”

“Food was fantastic and flavorful.”

“We went for dinner tonight and had an amazing experience. The staff was super friendly, he helped us navigate the menu and made great suggestions. We got a combo platter so we could share and try it all. The meat melted in your mouth and the flavor was so good. We will definitely be back!”

“Went for lunch on a week day. Hostess was on the phone had to wait to be seated. A wait: to receive menu, get beer, order food and receive food. After server cleared some dishes waited for bill. Server was BSing 5 minutes with a customer leaving. Total time spent waiting a bit over 35 minutes out of a total spent there, one hour and 15 minutes.”
