It’s def an experience , so if ur ever in the area I suggest u stop by u won’t be disappointed .”
“We love this restaurant and usually order the bone in ribeye steak. It was, for some reason, under seasoned this time. Caesar salad, truffle fries, and birthday desserts were great! The steak was cooked perfectly, just a little bland.”

“I planned this as a middle point to break up my trip from Jersey to Boston. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a long line of people ready to order before noon. The employees worked hard taking orders and that line cut down quick. Everyone was pleasant and patient while I ordered for my family of four. Cashier was so nice to me and my kids. All of the sandwiches can wrapped with a plate which was incredibly convenient when we eat the sandwiches at the nearby park. This was a great gem to start off what will hopefully be a great trip
Parking: Parking super convenient right on a side street of the store.”
“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.”
“We had a great dinner! The food, the drinks and the waitress, Michelle, were all great! We all ordered off the Summer Dinner Prix Fixe menu. There were good choices, good size portions and a very good price. I would recommend trying Trumbull Kitchen but be sure to make reservations, it's a pretty packed place.”
“the Immunity drink is on point. will be back to try other drinks soon.”

“The food is phenomenal, cooked to order. tge staff is always welcoming. Their fresh juices are amazing. outdoor seating for warmer days. I highly recommend”
“Great location and atmosphere, fast service. The food is ok, but definitely not the best Korean food I’ve ever had. Bibimbap came with tasteless ground beef and was cooked in unnecessary huge amount of oil to my taste.”
“Was there Monday night for dinner and it was amazing from the bread service to the apps drinks dinner and dessert got the bone in ny sirloin cooked to perfection and my friend got the short rib pasta special minus the short rib bc she is a Vegetarian they wete more than happy to accommodate and her food was equally as delicious!!”
“Very Tasty Food, 100% RecommendedWe come from Texas, we are always looking for homemade food and its very delicious seasoning ?, this time we ordered a beef broth.”
“Gentlemen, don't be fooled by the appearance on the outside, it's not that it's bad but what this restaurant offers both in the service and in the food, uff another level. I've been in the USA for 8 years and I haven't found something like this restaurant. I recommend it. barbecue for 2 and the paella, they also have grilled breast with rice and beans, the broth, my God, I still feel that flavor on my palate and the price for all this is super fair, I was there celebrating the mothers today and the girl who gave us It provided 5-star service, do not hesitate to visit it, believe me, I am a super critical person.”
“Quaint Pizza place conveniently located in downtown Hartford. The Downtown Pizza (adequately named specialty pizza) was sooooo goooood! As was the loaded curly fries. If you are looking for a pizzeria to hit the spot, look no further!”
“Had a great time and the comedian on December 31st 2023 was a riot funny as can be. DJ Jimmy Jam was off the chain. We all had a wonderful time. Food and service was very good ?”

“I typically go up to Maine to get some clothes I heard that there was some more in New Hampshire Massachusetts area that's where I fiund these people super awesome.”
“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.”
“Since I was kid my mother tell me, everything that you cook and prepare with love taste delicious, and Britney who prepare and cooked my meal tonight demonstrate that is truth. So delicious this subway, I highly recommend what you prepared Britney, thank you very much and may God bless your hands, job, family, and everything that you touch.”
“Excelente es mi lugar favorito para comer. Loco que hagan uno en PR.”
“Had to go here bc worker at another Subway was rude (Bibi at Union Station is RUDE). So glad I came to the one on Farmington Ave. The worker here was friendly, sweet, personable, polite, professional. We shared upbeat, light conversation as she made my #8 Great Garlic to my liking. The positive experience here made up for the truly negative experience with Bibi at Union Station mere moments prior.If you have a choice between the Subway at Union Station or Farmington Ave, ALWAYD CHOOSE FARMINGTON AVE.Bc of Bibi and her piss poor customer service skills , UNION STATION is TERRIBLE!”
“Great service. Greeted with a smile and thanked for choosing Panera. Food was hot delicious and on time.”
“Place looks run down. Needs sprucing up. Order taker was pleasant. Food was hot and tasted good. Used the online ordering and picked up in drive thru so I can't comment on cleanliness inside.
Parking: Parking lot could use a repave. Kind of run down looking. Needs landscaping.”
“I believe this McDonald's may have changed management. There is a language barrier when it comes to service.on this day, the inventory was low.
Parking: The drive-through is the cause of parking”
“El Pollo Guapo is a top three all time lunch spot in Hartford. I’ve been working in the city for over 20 years and really enjoy trying all the food options. I remember this first as a great food truck in Bushnell park and was thrilled to see they set up a brick and mortar shop at Front Street a few years ago. I’ve long said their arroz con pollo is possibly the best lunch dish you can get in the city (roasted chicken, pickled onions, plantains, grilled corn, awesome sauce and more). I’ve had almost everything on the menu and it’s all excellent. I’ve recently gravitated towards the salads which are packed with tons of different ingredients and give every bite a unique flavor. It’s also my go-to when dieting… I could eat their grilled broccoli and coleslaw every day.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I came across Semilla cafe this past weekend after a yoga session in Hartford and I’m very glad I did. I snagged a hot Ovaltine with oat milk which was a really nice malted hot chocolate flavor, plus a lemon bar that was very good. While all that is enough to go back I also found a gem in their store side of things where they had a bacon jam. The breakfast sandwiches I have made with that every day since I bought it are amazing and I will definitely be back for more. The decor, local art, cute free library and the overall welcoming feel of the place was great to experience.”
“G's Steaks & Grinders is a standout spot for anyone who values great taste and fresh ingredients. Each dish is packed with flavor, and you can really tell that quality is a priority here. Whether you’re enjoying a steak or one of their grinders, you’re in for a satisfying meal. Definitely a place to visit when you’re craving something delicious!”
“This is probably my new fave sushi spot ! Great prices, amazing service , flavorful! My fave sushi spot that’s close to these prices and selection is all the way in Boston but this is near and close to home and amazing! I love it ! Can’t believe it took this long to even try this place ! I got the salmon teriyaki bento ? and sweet potato roll!”
“Clean Restaurant, Friendly n Welcoming Staff and Fantastic Food!!! I have No need to go to any other Restaurant cuz they have it All here..In my opinion, it's the Best Jamaican Restaurant in Hartford.”
“great selection, friendly service, super clean, informative, everything was delicious”
“The owners are great people and the place is colorful and fun for all ages. The Ice Cream is delicious and I plan on going very often this summer !!!!!!! Great atmosphere!!!! #iscreamforicecream #frozen treats”
“Got a large hot latte and a guava cheese croissant. Coffee is so smooth I didn't need to add sugar, and the croissant is just the right amount of sweetness and butteriness that it would pair well with any drink. The staff is very kind and considerate and the ambiance is peaceful and relaxing. I would recommend any true coffee lover try this place at least once,it is a fantastic experience.”
“These guys have the best gyros and kibbeh around. Not to mention the super tender pieces of lamb in their Mediterranean Bean stew or savory pieces of chicken in their curry. The prices could be twice as much, the brothers running the shop could be absolute jerks, and the food would still be worth it. The fact that neither of those things is true is just icing on top. All the commendations Tangiers receives are well deserved!”
“Best pizza, customer service is amazing. The owner is amazing very personable. I’ve been going here for over 13 years and still The only pizza place to brings home to my heart coming from NY!!!! Plus all the other options Are freaking amazing!!!!”
“The place is absolutely adorable! Friendly, welcoming staff! Love the menu options! If you’re in the area, stop in! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Was here from out of town - loved the concept! Lots of options- ended up at Mofongo with a pernil rice bowl and it was delicious!!”
“Can’t speak about the bahn mi, but the vegan pho was delicious! Ordering on the kiosk is super convenient and the food comes out quick, making it a perfect spot to grab lunch while at work.
Vegetarian options: They have a vegan pho with mushroom broth, and tofu as a protein option.”
“The only Mexican restaurant I like in CT, and I've tried a few. They serve authentic, delicious Mexican food.”
“Wings were the BEST we ever had! Caesar salad w/chicken was outstanding! Stopped by randomly for lunch. So happy we did.”
“Authentic delicious food always made fresh in house~ amazing cocktails~ appetizers and desserts always on point~service and atmosphere…that’s excellent too! We love coming here”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“While the service at this Burger King was slower than expected, I enjoyed the comfortable and clean seating area. The food was entirely adequate. I got the impression that the drive-thru was much faster than placing an order at the counter and dining in.”
“They are always pleasant. I didn’t go
inside the facility; yet at the drive through- you can hear the laughter and positive interaction between employees while getting orders ready. From experience- it makes it a great environment for customers also.
Vegetarian options: Not sure about what level of vegetarian; no meat is always an option on many of the items as well as no dairy- if eggs are a no go then this might not be a place for a vegan.
Dietary restrictions: Unless you have a lot of allergies and have gluten sensitivity then this is always an option. Not sure what gluten free items are on the menu. Once you let the workers know about the allergies- they are very helpful.
Parking: This Dunkin is close to the highway next to a gas station and post office. So even if it’s busy- you can park at either place and walk over.
Wheelchair accessibility: Didn’t see any issues.”
“It took us a minute to find, but it was totally worth that minute. The lady behind the counter was so helpful and nice. The coffee me and my friend got was delicious. I also got some baby carrots, and they were so fresh and made an awesome snack. Overall, this is the best Starbucks I've ever been to, and I seriously recommend it.”
“Yesterday I was ordered large veggie and pineapple and chicken pizza from fat pizza. It was really delicious. I would like to say thanks for the great service .. keep it up …,”
“I used to hate this location. Food was always cold n old.i gotta say they really stepped it up and are trying. Second time this month dining in. The food was super fresh . Super hot, fries fresh hot and crispy. Got to give credit when it's due. My burgers and nuggets where so fresh. Both times i went around 3pm. Hopefully they'll keep it up .”
“This KFC their food is great their customer service is top tier great staff. Well mannered highly professional they go above and beyond⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . I would recommend this branch the line is never to long prompt service and great food. I will never forget these people and the empathy they showed me in their drive through when I had car issue. God bless this team..”
“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!”
“I typically go up to Maine to get some clothes I heard that there was some more in New Hampshire Massachusetts area that's where I fiund these people super awesome.”
Cheap Eats

“Stopped by today to check them out, the mango smoothie was amazing. I make smoothies all the time but I have to admit there’s something special about theirs. Go check them out”
“Excelente servicio y buenos productos”
“I just went to go get that chopped cheese sandwich that I was craving since my grandson bought me one like two months ago. If you haven't tried this sandwich. Your really missing out in some good stuff.”
“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.”
“Great Alcapurias.lots of meat in it.just how I like it:)”
“(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.”
“My daughter and I love your food. Everything was right on point. Thank you all.”
“Halal menu with extreme variety. There's something for everyone here. The chicken over rice got me through my semester. Owners are also great people & the business reflects that”
“Excellent food Great customer service Highly recommended”
“The food was amazing first time I came I thought it wasn’t gonna be good but the food tastes amazing and the workers are very friendly and upbeat and as for the food I fed my workers and they loved it and enjoyed it”
“Ajamo is a solid lunch spot in Hartford. I long for the days when the food court was packed with options, and I’m happy to see this place is one of the great food stands that are still going strong at the State House. They serve very fresh salads at generous proportions and have good sandwiches as well. The only critique I’d have is that their lettuce/kale, roasted chicken, and other ingredients are in large chunks and they don’t provide a knife to cut it in smaller pieces. Their flavors are great, but it would be great to have a grilled chicken option in addition to the roasted.”
“Great service and great pizza! A must have when I’m in Connecticut.”
“Must try . Great place to chill and have a good time whit friends..”
“As a die-hard Carnivore, I was shocked that I enjoyed my 'Everyting' meal as much as I did... Flavors explode, textures couldn't convince me that I wasn't eating meat... GIGI, you were more than professionally courteous and great food and pleasant attitude have me coming back for more... I still can't believe I wasn't eating meat... $3 toward your 'Brick and Mortar"... You've got my support... FOLKS, don't knock it til you've tried it... "SPICY LADY" / D.R.Gregory-Spears ;) Bloomfield Jamaican Festival Tuesday, July 30, 2024”

“they have the freshest fruits and veggies. the cashier always has a BIG welcoming smile and fantastic service”
“Buemservice. Great service, I invite you to visit Liam Super Deli with. A friendly staff and always willing to assist you if you have not visited Liam Super Deli, visit us where you can find everything and with a very cold beer. The northend. ”
“Excellent server. Food was delicious. I have not been there in years but will be sure to go back soon! There was a band playing that night so it was louder than a normal restaurant but the music was great!”
“Wonderful meal and sat at the raw bar. The raw bartender was yogi and she has talents. Very personable and professional. Got the lobster “raw dog” and it was to die for.”
“Creative menu Intimate setting Intriguing location”
“It's one of those places where you feel a warm inviting atmosphere the bartenders are cordial and the music is nice they have one pool table but we share taking turns by putting your name on the board overall it a great place to be to ”
“Food is always on point. I ordered from the Sunday brunch menu and picked it up. The lobster omelette , lobster mac and cheese , chicken and waffle, lobster blt, Hennessey wings were all delicious. I would have given them a 4.5 if that option was available . Only gripe was time it took to wait for the order. Grub hub said it would be ready at 12.40. Got there they said give us 10 minutes. Food wasn't ready till 1.20. Also recommend adding restaurant on uber eats for those that might want to order that are farther away and do not feel like driving to pick up.”
“I don't believe they serve food. I like the atmosphere there, I even enjoy dancing with a woman I met there. Cool DJ music. The owner Philip was warm and welcoming.”
“Would definitely recommend, came here before a concert to kill time. Overall the food was amazing, my waiter was beyond amazing. She was so personable and gave me such great recommendations on what foods to try. The food is greatly priced I spent $60 on 2 appetizers and 2 entrees. The best experience I’ve had in a restaurant in awhile. Would definitely recommend the waitress Catilya, she is literally amazing!!”
“Found a good place in Hartford for Mexican food. Restaurant ambience was great. As soon as I took a place , compliments were ready. Then immediately the ordered food arrived. Food was very tasty. I recommend this restaurant.”
“Food has good flavor, great variety of dishes but a bad place
Parking: It's almost always full there so you have to wait for space most of the time.”
“As a Jamaican, it was great taking it back to the homeland with this visit. Food was great interms of memory of my culture and it had a really good atmosphere and set up.”
“China Made to me has always been like a Diamond in the rough for ordering that go to Chinese Food. Apart from the owner and his wife being friendly and accommodating, the food is delicious!!!! To me their rice is the cleanest tasting rice I’ve ever had it’s fresh and you can see and taste the freshness. They have the best crab rations stuff with good amount and golden lot crispy never burned or under cooked like some places. Prices are crazy cheap for such good quality you can have dinner with your partner/friend/spouse and not go over budget. The boneless spare rips is super fresh and taste like rib. Nothing to be worried about here HIGHLY RECOMMENDED without a doubt!”
“Excellent food, I only ate that the place had a slightly unpleasant smell but from then on 100% recommended.
Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is familiar.”
“I really like the delivery driver with the electricity he was really nice and the food came soo fast everything was spot on
Vegetarian options: My wife is vegetarian mainly
Kid-friendliness: Kids love these options”
“It's a great place to get together for drinks and good food. OR To have a party of any kind. They do parties well. Matty D's is definitely a place to put at the top of your list.”
