21 Best American Restaurants near Mansfield

“I came here last night for the first time after a recommendation and so glad we did cause they did not disappoint. The decor is a little dated however we have the nicest waitress Natasha who made the evening so great. She was very prompt and friendly and really funny. The food portions were a generous size and everything we had was really good. We never once asked for water refills, she just kept them coming. Amazing staff. Amazing food. Will be returning to our new local favorite spot in the very near future and hopefully will get the same amazing waitress.“

“5 Stars – A Hidden Gem with Amazing Vibes and Even Better Bartenders!

The Trophy Room in Storrs, CT is hands down one of my favorite spots in town. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or kick off a night out with friends, this place never misses. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively, and the drink selection is always on point.

What really sets Trophy Room apart, though, are the bartenders—especially Olivia and Allison. These two are absolute stars behind the bar. They’re not only incredibly skilled at crafting top-notch cocktails, but they also bring such good energy to the place. Friendly, attentive, and always down for a quick chat or a solid recommendation, they make you feel right at home every time.

Olivia and Allison elevate the whole experience, and honestly, they’re a big reason I keep coming back. If you haven’t checked out Trophy Room yet, do yourself a favor and stop by—just be ready to make it your new go-to spot!“

“Great food that’s affordable and fast!“

“My family and I visited this restaurant during UConn Family Weekend, the place was packed at all times, people coming and going constantly and they had large TVs showing various games. We were hosted/greeted by Ron, who was really nice despite having a full house, and kept a lively attitude. We were served by Faith, who was also kind and checked on us frequently.

We had the giant pretzel which was delicious, soft, and warm. We also had the boneless wings with bourbon sauce and the Baja burger, it was spicy but we like spicy!

Plus: We did witness a satisfying moment, when a drunk privileged group of 5+ people tried to skip the line claiming they had a “reservation” when this restaurant clearly does not take reservations and is first come first serve (they write your name on a list and text you when it’s your time up to the stand), The snobby/pretentious group tried to bribe the hosts with money and as much as they huffed and puffed to be seated “ASAP” they were turned down and for some reason, that made me love this place even more. With that said, be conscious of your group size and if you’re going on a game night, maybe stop in ahead of time to put your name on the list while you walk around the shops in that downtown area.“

“Just wonderful ! The beet salad with red quinoa and blackened chicken is so paleo healthy and the burgers high quality delish. Great cup of coffee too. Everything was cooked perfectly, seasoned perfectly. Gorgeous old house with fireplace. The home made clam chowder is a such a surprise - best we have had since we were children in Mystic !“

“My daughter and I stopped here on our way back from a UConn tour - I’m vegetarian and the Mediterranean pasta was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had - highly recommend!!! My daughter ordered chicken and a side of fries, the fry order was huge for $5! I helped her eat the fries and we both couldn’t put a dent in it! Friendly staff, beautiful sunset view - if we are ever back in the area we will definitely stop back in!“

“Found this place after leaving a Ren. Fair, but we were pleasantly surprised! The food was phenomenal, I got a Philly cheesesteak w/ fries, my wife got Blacked Chicken Penne, and my god - the blackened chicken penne was TO DIE FOR. If I was a prisoner about to be led to the electric chair, this blackened chicken penne would be my choice for last meal. This dish was incredible, super tasty, very good sized portion, with just a little hint of spice. It is an explosion of deliciousness.

10/10 would recommend“

“Great food great beer great staff!“

“Our men’s college basketball team has enjoyed breakfast at Dog Lane Café on several occasions over the past few years, and it’s always a great way to start the day. The food is fresh, tasty, and consistently a team favorite--whether it’s a hearty breakfast sandwich or something lighter. The service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. A big thank you to Brianna, who always goes out of her way to make sure everything runs smoothly for us. Dog Lane has become one of our go-to breakfast spots downtown, and we really appreciate their quality, consistency, and warm hospitality.“

“Hands down my favorite spot for wings. So many flavors.... dry seasoned or sauce.... whatever mood your in.... youll find wings to match it. Great beer. And a ton of different stuff bottled or on tap. And last but not least their prime rib...... brrrruuuuhhhhh. They have the best prime rib ive eaten at any restaraunti n ct. Do i recommend bidwell...... YES. Stupid question“

“The nostalgia around this place is out of this world. Heard Sue Bird and Diana Turasi brag about it while watching the final four and I can see why. Owners are always working, staff is one of the best in business, food is always warm, and the beer is always cold. What more could you ask for!

* Side note * Been known to see a few celebrities sneaking around the bar from time to time.“
