“It's always a pleasure stopping by to get my spinach patties every week. Today Shernette took my order over the phone while Arline prepared it and ensured that I didn't have to wait long upon arriving.

Kree does the baking and is always willing to put some extra spinach patties in the oven when they are running low.

Ms. Yvonne and AnnMarie are very pleasant and polite.

The staff at Golden Krust really do make me feel like they care.”

“Absolutely the best grinders on the south end of Hartford Ever thing was fresh and spotless these guys take pride in there craft just let them make your sub with there twist and you will be mind blown i was. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING SUB and don't forget to tip”

“Good place the workers are fast and efficient. They also change their gloves frequently. The prep station is clean and the meats and veggies are fresh. The only thing complain about is the amount of bums outside it’s not just one it’s multiple asking for money or to buy them something it’s actually pretty annoying and some of them are disrespectful. Why are they allowed to be on the premises? pan handling is illegal. But other than that the food and service is good.”

“Who ever was the girl at the register at 6:25 on Tuesday, was Very friendly, helpful, and professional....she help me with the meals for my nieces...The store was clean and the food was fresh and the fries were hot and crispy. Overall I won't change Burger King for nothing.”

“Clean and bright. Standard Subway fare, so take that as you will. Always good in a pinch. I think the staff does a good job making the food. I'm being picky, but there's a hanging plexiglass pane right in front of the register, and it's just kinda in the way. Not the worst thing, but awkward.

I think the only thing to note is that this location is in Hartford. Doesn't make it inherently bad, but hey, you get some characters. As with any place, just go about your business and don't interact. Again, literally doesn't matter, could be a Karen saying dumb things, or folks who are just a little too high looking for cookies and chips. All the same. Plus, this is a 24 hour location, so you gotta respect it.”

“Great service. Greeted with a smile and thanked for choosing Panera. Food was hot delicious and on time.”

“Really good food and great service and great customer service! Thanks to Darlene”

“Places very clean. N also offers multiple different styles of sitting arrangements
Despite the area it's it is very well maintained by staff. Staff is nice and professional somewhat The only part that got me was they do not do table service like McDonald's. So there's no one going to bring your food to your table. You have to get up and walk back from your table to get it something to keep in mind. Table service. Is a plus and your establishment? Other than that, the food was great atmosphere was very good in clean.I took some photos.Check 'em out”

“I actually had a decent experience aside from the constant slamming of the door the employees go in and out of by the register. The food was made well and their people were kind enough. I’ll go back to using the drive-thru, but this visit was pretty good; I could tell everyone was doing their best.”

“This is a #1 must visit if you’re in the hartford connecticut area. This is my go too spot for breakfast for work employees and my every Sunday breakfast date with my granddaughter.You can’t go wrong with American & Mexican Diner💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏”

“muy buena atención y muy rica su comida recomendada”

“First timer here. The atmosphere was awesome. Sat at the bar and watched motoGP. I ordered the brisket egg rolls and they FAR exceeded my expectations. Crispy crunch, sweet, salty, umami. It hit every taste bud on my tongue. My husband got the brisket grilled cheese and it was out of this world good. Perfectly balanced. Not too much bbq sauce, right amount of cheese and a nice crisp bread. The tater tots were perfectly fried and salted. They were so good we didn't even need ketchup. We will for sure be back.”

“I lived in Hartford for 6 1/2 years and this is hands down the best chicken cheese steak. The chicken over rice with lettuce and the white sauce is also amazing. I’ve moved out of state and can’t find anything even close to this.”

“Face paced, high traffic inner city establishment that inspiteof the questionable activity around and about it, they make patrons feel safe. The food is very good.”

“I can't say what I like best, because it is all delicious. I usually get the enchiladas huertenas because I can't decide if the mole, red sauce, or green sauce is better; they are all equally wonderful. So are their tender, flavorful tamales. even their chips & salsa are a cut above. Pickup during the pandemic is fast and painless, which we appreciate.”

“Delicious food and best customer service. Highly recommend the KFC and any of the fried rolls.”

“Siempre sirviendo la mejor comida Hondureña”

“Was driving by was a lil ify about it but the guy taking orders was nice and the food was good as hell. Also not along wait at all.”

“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.”

“I was a little taken back at first but the setup just adds to the atmosphere of this place. The people were fast, attentive and the meatball calzone was soooo good. Huge calzone! I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. It tastes like it was made fresh as well as the pizza sauce. Delicious!”

“Delish, always! Quick & easy online order and pick up! Love me some “Dazed & Confused!” 😋”

“Amazing fries. If your fry lover definitely stop at this hidden beauty”

“Hands down the best Mexican food I have had in CT. My husband and I ordered the elote( off the Cobb) and the steak burrito. Everything was was seasoned to perfection and tasted made to order. Bonus: the customer service was superb. Can’t wait to visit again!”

“Great Alcapurias.lots of meat in it.just how I like it:)”

“the Family was just as pleasant and my chicken was ready when I walked in the door and you talking about Good 😋😋😋”

“Perfect food”

“I have been ordering food here for about 1 year now from Allen Place and New Britain via GrubHub and Today Capitol ave. I must say , The food is always exceptoinal the presentation is 100% seasoning and flavour 200% . Thank you chinese Kitchen you are the best in Hartford by far. And the food i eat other than my Caribbean food is Chinese.”

“i reallly love eating here! ive been eating here for 10 years! service was perfect, food was delightful and the place was really nice! i reccomend”

“This is "The Best Little Restaurant" in Hartford for Breakfast, Lunch or Specialty Orders to Bring Home for the Holidays. You do not have to be in the Gold Building to enjoy Take 5 Cookery, it is absolutely worth the walk in town or drive into Hartford.”

“They never open , been trynna catch they asses for months smh . Food Fiyaaaa tho . Update the hours 451 !”

“Best chicken I've ever had however they forgot my mashed potatoes”

“I was disappointed because the servings of food are not consistent, one server makes sure to ask what you need and the food is good but the next server the following week really disappoint the rice was swimming in gravy it was so bad that it looked like dog food and I guess she didn't care about great service because the oxtails had 6 of the smallest pieces of oxtails that I have seen; this was so disappointing it felt like I had begged for some food. WOW”

“Their ability to cater an event is by far the best experience I’ve ever had. They catered my wedding two weeks ago and everyone absolutely loved the food. They came on time, the food was hot and fresh, and their service and professionalism was top notch. I’m going to use them two more times next year for events I’m doing.”

“Amazing! The best flautas I've ever had... And I have tried many Mexican restaurants. Thank you for coming out and supporting the Aspen Woods community.”

“It's a hard spot to find but worth it! -- pure vegan and pure love. Thank you Anthony!”

“I went there today looking for grits, I had my braces adjusted and mouth is very sore. I arrived prior to opening by nearly an hour. The owner helped me out with grits and scrambled eggs anyway. This is great customer service and the grits were hot and the eggs were cheesy. I did not need to add any salt or pepper, please give them a try.”

“Went here for the first time yesterday. It came highly recommended from my cousin and I had a feeling I was going to love it. This is a high-quality restaurant. Atmosphere had a very comfortable home-like feeling. Service was not overly and just the right amount of attentive. Drink/wine selections were excellent. But the best most quality aspect of course was the actual food. The dishes that I and those with me had were nothing short of outstanding. Reasonably sized and priced. If you know Portuguese food, then this is what you would expect as far as offering classic/traditional options. If you don’t know Portuguese food, then anything you’re going to try on this menu is surely going to be pleasurable. This is now going to be my go-to place. It’s well worth the drive if you want to ensure that you are going to have a gratifying culinary experience!”

“Warm, welcoming staff providing excellent food, The chicken kebobs were the best I've ever eaten. The atmosphere is quiet and seating is very comfortable (someone thought about comfortable chairs which many restaurants today ignore). Highly recommended.”

“The staff (Antoinette) was so very calm, patient and courteous as we attempted to call in an order for three people while driving.

Her handling our various questions related to our orders; all while serving in-person customers was impressive!! She was fantastic as well as the other staff. Would certainly recommend this restaurant!”

“great selection, friendly service, super clean, informative, everything was delicious”

“My daughter and I love your food. Everything was right on point. Thank you all.”

“The Urban Lodge is in a prime location in downtown Hartford. It is within walking distance of Dunkin Donuts park, Hartford Stage, Union Station and the Connecticut River waterfront.

Very good brews and bar food, served by friendly and efficient servers.

What makes this a problematic choice is the the noise level. When crowded, it is difficult to have a conversation.

If you chose to go, chose a non peak time. When the decibel level is normal,it is a wonderful culinary and social experience”

“I paid on the mobile app beforehand, but the line was too long so I had to leave to clock into work and when I came back a few hours later and explained the situation they remade the order for me. Their staff and managers are great!”

“I love DoNo! It's the best part of my day when I find time to take a walk or drive over and get my daily latte, espresso, or tea. They also just upped their game with an awesome sandwich menu!!”

“Our first time at this establishment since it changed hands and it certainly will not be our last. My husband and I sat at the bar and enjoyed the craft cocktails and conversation with Moriah. Looking forward to returning on a night when they have live entertainment.”

“Went here after the St. Pattys Day festivities on Saturday. It was good to go and grab food. The food was fast and good (I was drunk though so any thing would have been good). The service was great as well.”

“I gotta say I went there at night and the team work in the restaurant was great and they also have good communication skills I gotta say my order was for pick up and I had a great experience”
