Peppers Indian Cuisine 238 J Tolland Turnpike, Manchester Indian • $$

“Hands down the best Indian buffet that I've ever had in the US. Thursday is their Dosa night where they have a live Dosa station along with South Indian staples served in buffet style. On the weekends they have buffet lunch ranging from Goat Dum biriyani to Haryali green chili chicken to their famous Tawa fish (amazing appetizer). If you're around Hartford or a student at UConn do yourself a favor and visit this place for their buffets. The restaurant is clean, they serve alcohol , service is excellent and the food is honestly to die for! I cannot recommend this place enough 👌🏼💯”

“📅 August 23, 2025 WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - Ep. 153 Filomena’s On Main Street Town of Manchester, CT 🌆 Atmosphere & Vibe We walked into a great atmosphere - families around, a warm and friendly vibe, and a beautiful interior. The crowd was very diverse, which added to the positive energy and sense of community in the room. Inside, it looks amazing, making it a comfortable and enjoyable place to settle in for dinner. Overall, the atmosphere here was top-notch. 👥 Service Our server was Joel, and he set the tone right away. He was very nice, attentive, and friendly, checking in often and making sure we had everything we needed. The whole staff gave off that same positive, welcoming energy. 🍽️ What I Ordered 1️⃣ Buffalo Wings- Hot (10 pcs) - $16 👍🏾 👉🏾 Amazing, top-notch chicken wings. Cooked just right and full of flavor. 2️⃣ Buffalo Wings- House Blend (10 pcs)- $16 👍🏾 👉🏾 Same deal - perfectly done, flavorful, and backed up by a delicious blue cheese dressing. 3️⃣ Calamari (Appetizer) - $16 👍🏾 👉🏾 Crispy, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Absolutely amazing. 4️⃣ Hot Honey Chicken Deluxe Sandwich (with fries) - $18 👍🏾 👉🏾 Solid sandwich. Chicken was juicy, hot honey brought the right kick, and the fries were on point. A very good plate. 5️⃣ Chicken Parmesan - $23 👍🏾 👉🏾 Delicious and well executed. The chicken was tender and soft - I could cut it easily with my fork. The sauce was flavorful, the mozzarella melted perfectly, and the whole dish came together beautifully. A great chicken parm that earns a strong thumbs up. 📝 Final Take Filomena’s on Main Street in Manchester absolutely delivered. From the welcoming and diverse atmosphere to the friendly service from Joel, everything lined up for a great night. The wings and calamari were excellent, the sandwich solid, and the chicken parmesan was a standout. And after tonight, I can finally say it… I like Filomena’s. …on Main Street. 😏 ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “Always keeping it Real to Reel.””

“Honestly if I could give a 6 star review I would. This place has the best customer service I have experienced. Everything on there menu is exquisite. Personally I recommend you try the pizza sauce with ranch dressed bites. They are magnificent and it is a divine combo. The staff there also offers money back guarantee on there frozen lemonades. It is amazing and I would choose this pretzel place over others.”

“Although I’ve eaten from here several times, this was my first time trying their hibachi and it did not disappoint. The rice was fresh, and the hibachi was well prepared to my liking. On the downside, the watery vegetables lacked flavor and had an interesting texture. It’s still a good place for a quick lunch while shopping!?️”

Dunkin' 244 Center St, Manchester Coffee Shops • $

“I visit this shop twice a week. The staff always messes us my order. Decaf, light, 5 Splenda, with caramel. Yet every time it gets messed up somehow. Today I ordered a toasted multigrain bagel with cream cheese. What I received was a multigrain bagel with butter, which had melted and proceeded to run down the front of my new shirt, leaving four nice big grease stains. When I went in to get this corrected I was met by a manager who reminded me everybody makes mistakes. Upon ordering, a print out is generated to help the employees with the orders. I would imagine these are used in creating the orders. My order for today was $11.89. I gave the young man a ten and two singles. He told me I didn’t give him enough money. I told him to please count it. He looked at me like I was from another planet. I think I should have been treated a bit better in this shop. Gee, I am sorry, we will fix this for you. Your brand is represented here, and I love your coffee, but you need to spend, perhaps, a little more time in customer service and how to treat customers. I can always get my coffee somewhere else.”

The food is consistently good, the staff is friendly and upbeat, and the place is always clean. I’ve never walked into a dirty location, which says something. Whether it’s a sandwich, nuggets, or those waffle fries, you know what you’re getting every time. Reliable, quick, and just plain good.”

McDonald's 184-188 Spencer St, Manchester Fast Food • $

“I don't normally go to McDonald's but thought I would mix it up. Went there this past weekend and decided to get a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and a medium coffee. Now one thing I did not realize was that McDonald's adds a creamy sauce to their sandwich. I did not catch that when ordering. The sauce is not a good fit for a breakfast sandwich. If I wanted sauce I would do butter or a garlic aioli. Plus its messy when eating. Coffee was average nothing special.
For $15.00 for a medium hot coffee and a bacon egg and cheese? Might as well take my wallet. Not worth the money.”
