“Our family recently visited Hungry Pot Korean BBQ to celebrate my son’s birthday, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. For many of us, this was our first time dining at a Korean BBQ restaurant, and our server, Tian, went above and beyond to make it memorable. He warmly interacted with everyone at the table, guided us through the ordering process, and even prepared several dishes right at our table, allowing us to try a wide variety of options. The food was fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, leaving everyone fully satisfied. The environment was clean and inviting, the staff was attentive and friendly, and the overall dining experience exceeded our expectations. We left with great memories, and I would highly recommend Hungry Pot Korean BBQ to anyone seeking delicious food and excellent service in a welcoming atmosphere. Reasonably priced, Great food – fresh, flavorful, and plentiful, Friendly staff attentive and welcoming Clean environment Awesome dining experience – fun and engaging Beautiful décor – warm and inviting atmosphere”
“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 👌🏼💯”
“I would be there right now if they still had the chicken parm sandwich”

“The staff was fantastic, our server was awesome, the pizzas were perfect, the Foxon Park soda is a must, the Pepes salad was fresh, the cannoli pie was delicious, and the atmosphere was great! Another 10 out of 10 for the legendary Frank Pepes! We've been to all 17 locations and they're all consistent across the board. The Manchester team is one of the best! We have been customers for life. Everything was spot on!”
“This was my first time trying Thai food and I was impressed by how delicious the food was! It’s definitely pricey but the portions are huge! What I loved most was that the food tasted so fresh, and the best part I did not get any heartburn or upset stomach. The woman in the front was very welcoming and full of life she made the experience very nice. I will definitely come back!”
“great and helpful staff, food and drink is awesome. they make you feel like family. a real important note is they support and are vested in the community. I drive 14 miles past countless other breweries just to support this business.”
“Yes yes yes’s. Great waitress and fabulous bus boy. Leighana and Aaron are great employees”

“The food was great! I got chicken chow mein, house rice, and an egg roll. The chicken chow mein vegetables were nice and crunchy. Plenty of chicken. The house rice was delightful with shrimp. The egg roll was crunchy and filled with vegetables. All the food was served nice and hot! I even received a small side of white rice and crunchy fried egg noodles!”
“We had the Taco Pizza and one of the "12 Grinders delivered last night with some chicken wings. The Pizza was amazing, the Grinder was surprisingly HUGE and absolutely delicious. Huge chunks of chicken, lots of cheese, good flavor!! The chicken wings were disappointing but still would 100% recommend. Thanks for a delicious dinner 😁”
“We had such a wonderful experience at Joey’s Garlic! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the penne a la vodka, shrimp scampi, and fried calamari, and every dish was full of flavor. The portions were huge—definitely family-style! Honestly, one plate would have been enough for both of us, and we still had plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. The restaurant itself has a beautiful setting with an industrial hipster vibe, warm lighting, and a fun flare that makes the atmosphere really inviting. Service was excellent—our server was both fast and friendly, which made the evening even better. For the quality and size of the portions, the pricing was amazing and very affordable. We truly felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu next time!”
“Fue de vacation con mi Familia y nos Encanto la comida estaba muy Rica los recommend que vayan comer alla.”

“Cannot say enough good things about The Hollow. Whether you are a golfer or not the restaurant should be added to your regular rotation. The food is top notch, everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the loaded potato chips and the Brit burger. The staff is friendly, the drinks are perfect and everything is reasonably priced (especially here in 2022). Did i mention the view from the patio is beautiful? This restaurant is a must taste!”

“📅 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.””
“i have yet to have anything less than great food! all the employees are super friendly, the goat curry, mix over rice, the veggie and chicken samosas are excellent! please try the mango lassie!! it is my second favorite restaurant after my own kitchen =) i grew up working in Fianos restuarant so i have some experience”
“Carlitos absolutely fantastic, totally professional. Cupcakes were absolutely absolutely delicious. Delivered to the restaurant on time for the baby shower that one cupcake was left over!! I cannot say enough about the freshness and the great taste of each cupcake. We had multiple different flavors for the baby shower. Definitely would recommend them for any occasion.”
“Food is great, atmosphere is nice, service sometimes spotty, but Brandon is the man who makes up for it! To be transparent, I had been waiting around about 30 minutes past when my food was supposed to be ready to get my order, but Brandon was the only person on the staff who had checked in with me and apologized for the mistake, WHILE he was already busy working on his own things. I wasn’t even trying to bust chops, but I was told another 8 minutes and it became another 20 for the pizza, and then my pasta was forgotten when the other staff initially handed me my order. Brandon held it down and was able to get complimentary carrot cake for my girlfriend because of the long wait, which I appreciated. Check in with Brandon, he’s great along with his service, and so is the food.”
“i enjoy this oliver garden. Not always the biggest fan of chains like this, but this one is enjoyable. gets pretty busy tho so I would say be careful on saturdays. otherwise enjoy the breadsticks since they are my fav part.”

“Got my Mets loving boyfriend a birthday cake and it was a very fun process to talk design process! She guided me into a cake design that would look good. We requested a “custard” filling and chose a banana pudding filling. It was delicious, (I actually thought this filling tasted better than the strawberry shortcake style filling in the cake I got for my birthday my boyfriend got from another baker in PA), the cake was moist, she was very kind and professional. I love supporting local businesses over corporations and am thrilled by the way the cake came out. Would so want others to book their next cake needs with Annie!”

“Chick-fil-A is another fast food spot that delivers exactly what it promises. I may not agree with the company owner on everything, but I can’t argue with the quality of the chicken—it’s always solid. 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.”
“Karaoke night is always off the chain!I am a rotating KJ. The house sound system can be very finicky, but when we get it on point, the music and sound is incredible!!! Megan is such a wonderful bartender and support!!! Drinks are flowing, and music is bumping. What more can you ask for on a Sunday night? The Tiger does not disappoint!”
“Love their food. Great burgers and salads. I wish they had a little better attention to detail. Every time I go there they forget something. This time I got takeout Caesar salad, my favorite there, and I had this gut feeling to untie the Togo back and check to be sure it had everything. I didn’t. Got home and no Caesar dressing. Last time no red onions. Overall, great food though!”
“My wife and I finally got to try HRP. We actually dined there. We tried their famous spinach specialty pizza. It did not disappoint!! One of the best pizzas I’ve had! Make sure to bring your appetite because the large pizza is massive! The people are very friendly! We will be back!”

“I’ve been going to 2nd Bridge for a few years now and it’s my favorite spot in central CT by far. Not only are the beers delicious, but it’s truly a “Cheers” environment where everyone not only knows your name but also every story you’ve shared before. I highly recommend this pub to anyone who wants a cozy spot that has excellent libations and the finest array of football around.”

“Amazing food the Brisket was so tender that when I picked it up it crumbled Into pieces off my hand and fork. So good. Chicken, Mac and cheese and Corn Bread were phenomenal. Staff was very nice and took the time to explain the menu. Alsi A clean restaurant. I am not from the area but I will be taking the 45 min drive to come back again.”
“Absolutely the best frozen yogurt I’ve ever had! I love that they offer low fat and sugar free options, perfect if you’re looking for something lighter. The cheesecake flavor was my favorite, so creamy and delicious! Tons of topping choices too. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“No matter what, Cajun Cafe is THE go-to when visiting Buckland. Not only will you always be met with the most attentive workers, but your portions will be massive, and last for at least two days. Super affordable and delicious. It's my perfect end of the workweek spot, and I'm positive it'll become yours too.”
“Legendary!! Forever a Manchester staple! Recently on their website and can’t believe everything that they have to offer: weddings, parties, graduations desserts in bulk …you can always get some of their favorites at Highland Park market in Manchester…I recommend a chipwich …Im sure most people would but also their spumoni slices, so good!”
“The food that I ordered was so good! I just wish they could add and serve a mayo dip like ketchup. I am crazy about eating fries with mayo. They did put mayo on my cheeseburger, but I asked for a mayo dip cup, but I didn't get it. I don't know why. Hmm, but I hope that they can serve the mayo dip next time. :-)”
“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.”
“I've been here many times & have never had a bad breakfast. My favorite place in Manchester. The service is great! ☕🥯🍳- Fast, friendly staff make you feel at home and go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. Add in a wonderfully creative menu, great food and you have the perfect breakfast/lunch restaurant. Even if you have to wait it is time well spent.”
“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!?️”
“Very sad that they are closing soon 😔 Good luck Tony and Debbie in your retirement.”
“I was initially skeptical because of the 1–3-star ratings, but I decided to give it a try—and I was pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent, and the service was just as impressive.”
“We had a lovely get together for my mom at your bar last night! Thank you so much to everyone who made my mom’s birthday so special and welcomed us like family! I love to be around people who love my mom and dad almost as much as I do. You’re all so wonderful and a big part of their lives, so you all mean a lot to me too! Thank you so much guys! 💕”
“Fast and friendly service. Able to change menu items to suit individual taste”

“Ordered a delivery for two of us which was actually a lot of food, and drink too. We cannot say thank you enough for the kindness of the staff members who prepared our order tonight. It was packed carefully, and nothing was forgotten. The beverages were delicious as was the temperature and deliciousness of the food. We want to encourage everyone to contact this KFC too. Thank you KFC for being so careful and thoughtful and Happy Holidays to all of you !! God Bless!”
“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.”
“I came in yesterday Sunday and they where pretty mush closing but the lady outside having her break came up to me and my wife and told us the grill will be closing soon a s they just added a Panni press with amazing sandwichs ready to go omg we ended up getting the buffalo chicken and chicken salad warp was amazing staff was so nice they even gave us a $1 off for next time check them out 150 center st Manchester and a big thank you to the girl with the nicw arm tattoos she was the best we will definitely be coming back”
“This young man Andrew is amazing, truly Amazing. I was pleased with his food, charm, mannerism and his staff. The food was excellent. He sold over 2500 empanadas today. The eat in diners couldn’t stop praising his dishes. The way he works with his customers is amazing. My hat off to him and his staff. Keep up the good work, Andrew. My family will be back for more. Five Stars”
“Upon arriving we asked if they had gluten free items on their menu. They Had. It was a separate menu but it was identical to the original with modifications for gluten free on ALL items they served. Our meal was terrific. Our server Jenny was outstanding, attentive and very personable. The managers took special attention in bringing out my meals themselves. We really appreciated the effort and experience we had at this restaurant. Highly Recomended. Brian G”

“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.”
“The Jerk Chicken was perfection, the Sour Sop Juice is a MUST TRY and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Loved it!”
