“I would be there right now if they still had the chicken parm sandwich”
“It Is My opinion that this is the best Italian Food in Connecticut. if you love Italian food you will love this restaurant.”
“I'm not cultured enough to know how this compares to all Thai food, but I know this place is the best I've had in CT. They really seem to care. A couple of examples. The meat is cut to larger sizes compared to other Thai restaurants. The fried rice actually has subtle char as it should. They are going above and beyond in a market where they could probably get away with just being average.”

“The service is incredible, Madison helped me understand all the allergies and recommended some cookies for me to try, while doing all of this it looked like she was alone but didn't rush me and let me take the time I needed. After I ordered and she went to get my cookies it looked like she was doing everything behind the counter at once and it looked fantastic. Will come back again”

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”

“Cool that you can watch the pizzas being made fresh and baked in the large oven. Did take quite some time from when I ordered, but likely because its a very busy place and very popular. Definitely fresh pies. If going for pepperoni, it is sausage style (thick and small disks vs thinner large disks) as an FYI”
“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.”

“Long Gut Miss Pinny is such a hidden gem in Manchester. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was even better. Everything tasted super fresh and homemade. It’s run by a mother and daughter, and you can really tell how much care goes into the food. The mac and cheese was so good, the Jamaican patties were perfectly flaky, and the pepper shrimp had the perfect amount of spice. The chicken soup with pumpkin was comforting and flavorful, and the oxtail and curry chicken were absolutely delicious. Definitely a spot I’ll be going back to. Highly recommend checking it out.”
“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 😁”
“Found this gem when using Google to find a nearby sushi restaurant. Very nice staff, friendly and fast service. Food was very good. The kimchi tofu soup was a pleasant surprise to try, will definitely be getting that again. I love Boba tea, didn't dissapoint. Had the spring rolls for appetizer, crispy and flavorful. Tried our favorite classics spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, very happy with our experience. will be coming back. Don't forget your Sake!”
“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”
“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!”
“This Olive Garden was convenient to our hotel and these weary travelers were looking forward to a nice Italian meal. It turned out to be even better than we'd hoped. Our server, Lillianne, was so friendly and professional. She went out of her way to make sure everything about our visit was perfect. The food was excellent, even better than usual, if that's possible. Kudos, Olive Garden and Lillianne.”
“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 👌🏼💯”
“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!”

Overall, the atmosphere here was top-notch. 👥 Service Our server was Joel, and he set the tone right away.

“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”
“Annie was very friendly and patient, happy to explain any questions I had. She helped me choose a size and design, and was knowledgeable in all things cake! I really appreciated her patience and follow through. She made sure to write out the full request and triple check! Before beginning the cake. It was delicious!!! I got three different flavors, all were perfectly moist and flavorful! My guests enjoyed the cake as well, and our birthday girl thought it was beautiful (it totally was!) Thank you so much Annie!”
“Used to be an employee here years ago and after I left it wasnt looking to great. Been coming back every so often when I want some decent fried chicken because, I wont go to Popeyes or KFC. I can proudly say that the new owners are doing a phenomenal job with keeping the place as clean as a whistle and the food doesnt taste of old oil either. They 100% without a doubt turned the whole store around in a good way and I will definitely keep coming back. Their sandwiches are even better. The chicken is a lot more tender then when I remembered and they also added a few more things onto the menu which are definitely worth trying. Keep up the great work guys I look forward to getting something everytime I go in there now which is crazy to say. Keep it up. Much love over here”
“food was delicious. service was friendly”

Great place to just enjoy your family while having a nice cool treat 😊”
“I had my first Amazing Ackee experience years ago at the Ellington Farmer’s Market, and I’m still enjoying alllll their offerings today. What can I say about all the great food?? Well, I’ve never not liked anything, and I thoroughly enjoy anything I’ve eaten. I love to stock up on the patties especially. As a busy vegetarian, they’re a great way to have a satisfying, healthy, quick meal any day. Beautiful people, beautiful food! In fact, I’m going to stock up again soon. Highly recommend you try them out!”
“You seem to be among the growing number of establishments that asked for a tip for takeout service. Whether I ate in or takeout I still ordered my food at a counter I'm not being served by a waiter or waitress. I work in retail like many others don't get tips either.
Testimonials on your cup are 10 years old.”
“Had a nice meal here before a movie. Three of us ordered different burgers with fries. Everything came out hot and was tasty. Very good service as well. Will eat here again before a movie.”

“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!”
“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 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! 💕”

“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”

The sushi, seafood, desserts, and hot dishes were all plentiful and tasty. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant was clean, spacious, and welcoming. Great value for money and perfect for families or groups. We had a wonderful dining experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommended!”
“Cool that you can watch the pizzas being made fresh and baked in the large oven. Did take quite some time from when I ordered, but likely because its a very busy place and very popular.

“This place has gotten a major upgrade over the years attracts a trendy, different crowd all types of blocks of lives of people late night drive-through was open and indoor eating just got finished eating a meal at around 11 and it was great table service when you order the kiosk atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. If you’re looking for a comfortable seating, they have seats for that you want separate tables. They have seats for that and if you just want to sit alone and read a book, they also have areas in the back where you can just relax and enjoy your meal”

“Limited signature bowl choices. Make your own poke was tedious. The taste of the pokebowl was okay, especially for the price- you would expect better taste. Some of the ingredients didn’t taste fresh. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would encourage them to create more signature bowls and make sure all ingredients are fresh.”
“Highly Recommended. I have ordered catering from them for 15 people. Food was amazing. Beef Biriyani was authentic Bangladeshi Tehari style which is rare to find and cooking was really good. On top, when i communicated with the management to place the order they were very cooperative cordial and easy to work with, the service received today made me even more confident about the restaurant in the future.”
“Pizza Mia has excellent food! The owner and staff are so nice and welcoming. I’ve always loved their food for eating in or taking out. Now they serve an excellent breakfast. You must go there for yourself and try it. You won’t be disappointed. Easy parking in the back. Yum!!!!”
“Probably one of the best Spanish spots ive had since moving to CT!! Everything was super fresh and packed with flavor! I got a small order of yellow rice and stewed ribs and it was absolutely delicious, the ribs were super tender and perfectly cooked, even my 11 month old enjoyed the meal. I also got a side of Mac and cheese and that was really good! A little saltier than i expected but had so much flavor. My husband got white rice, beans and baked chicken which everything was well seasoned and the chicken had a really nice crispy skin. Everything was about $30 and fed us throughout the day”
“These kids do a super job! The pizza was prepared & cooked perfectly, & it was delicious! It was on time & ready to pickup. In regards to the bad reviews I see here, honestly people, get over yourselves. Just because your breadsticks were cold or you happened to get a young counter person who is training & messed up your order, it surely isn't the end of the world. Also, if you're that scared about germs, & covid, please do the world a favor & stay home, nobody needs your hysterical, negative vibes. This location makes great pizza & I would go back for more.”
