Restaurants in Meriden

“The food was really good specially the chicken. After a long time I enjoyed to eat the chiken. Foods are super delicious & you can try fuchka on there!”

“This is such a great restaurant. Love the atmosphere here and the beauty of the place itself. The food is great. The happy hour food menu however is minimal and seriously lacking options. Also, the service at the bar is often very slow unfortunately.”

“I went to Southern Dishes, Seafood, & Desserts in Meriden today. When I say they truly have southern soul food, it’s an understatement. The food was definitely well seasoned, chicken falls off the bone, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious!”

“I've taken my Mom there twice for Mother's Day it's her favorite place. Food, service and atmosphere is so inviting. I also go for afternoon brunch with friends who equally enjoy the place..Definitely would recommend.”

“SO GOOD! Everything was fresh and very well seasoned. I will be back...”

“Very attentive staff! Ate the Nage Yuki Udon! Excellent soup! Teriyaki chicken has a lite sauce with rice. Very tasty. Maki rolls well made and fresh! If you live local or are visiting like us... give this restaurant a try!”

“Good food and their smaller section is perfect to rent for events under 50 or so people. I've been to several parties there including a birthday, a retirement, and unfortunately a few funerals.”

“I came here last weekend for the first time, the food is amazing. All different types of authentic Mexican cuisines, the service was excellent. It was speedy even in a packed environment. I had their chicken burrito, it was delicious. Full of meat, rice, beans, etc. This small business is top notch. Not the mention the sweet elderly couple that owns it is so welcoming. I definitely recommend.”

“I've seen the truck around Meriden and finally had a chance to try Birria Mia at the Made in CT Expo. Fantastic Birria tacos! I'll certainly be stopping in the future.”

“Stopped here on a road trip and was so pleasantly surprised! Absolutely delicious Italian food that is clearly cooked with love! The staff was very kind and made our quick stop into a lovely experience.”

“It’s a cheap local dive lives up to what you would need from a watering hole. Inexpensive drinks, not pretentious, mainly plastic cups, good people. First time, walked in and had a small chat with a patron before the night was done. Plus, unlike some other aptly named Irish pubs, they do have Guinness *cough obrians*. Decent draft list too for a small local. Didn’t play, but seems like a good setup for darts too. I might not take a date or the wife for low key dinner and drinks, but after work or a friend for a cheap blow off steam evening? Absolutely.”

“I get the curried chicken with rice and peas and veggies. It's excellent! The owners are extremely nice, too.”

“Great buffet! There are so many options it took me a little while to choose, but it was worth it, because the food is super good! In my opinion, the dinner is kinda on the pricey side, so if you are going to eat dinner, make sure to eat as much as you can!”

“You don’t have to go to Lahore to eat Lahori food!!!”

“First time at this restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. Staff were very friendly. Many options to choose from. I ordered Alambre. It was a skillet meal with steak, peppers and onions smothered in cheese, served with rice and beans. With it came five mini tortillas. This meal was very flavorful and filling. Also ordered was a burrito filled with steak, rice, beans, pico de gallo and cheese. Prices are very reasonable, atmosphere is good and the service was excellent.”

“Absolutely amazing food wait staff also amazing the owner is very personable. Love this place and everyone I brought loves this place as well.”

“I’ve been going to this pizzeria recently with my family after work and it’s honestly the friendliest place I’ve been to and the pizza is just as good as it isn’t overly greasy or doughy, just recently my family’s car wouldn’t start and they were beyond helpful
and kind to us every staff member tried their best to help,

“11/09/24- I stopped by after work heading to the hotel and George was on duty. He was busy, but immediately acknowledged me and went to wash up and came back happy.

We discussed the subs and he recommended #34 Spcy Nachos Steak. He added the way it says, but without green 🫑, extra jalapeños.

This is day two experience and I don’t know if previous reviews were out of anger because I have had great customer service.

11/08/24- I haven’t been to a Subway in years and today I stopped by for the $6.99 special. I walked in and was loudly greeted by Ilvin who was friendly and made me feel like I’m an old customer. He made all the customers feel comfortable and happy to be there.

Subway has so many new meals I asked Ilvin about the different subs. Ilvin did not seem put out and he went over the breads, the meats and all the toppings. He made it easy to order but hard to choose 😋

I ordered #23 Hotshot Italiano Sub based on his recommendation and it did not disappoint because I enjoyed every bite.

He wasn’t stingy with the jalapeños and he added just enough sauce that it didn’t make the bread soggy.

Ilvin explained how to earn points. If he isn’t the manager he is manager material with his positive attitude. I asked about the other guy in the back and Ivin said they are a team. I was impressed he spoke well of his staff.

I leave in a week, but I may start eating a new subway every day thanks to Ilvin and my great experience! Ya Sabes! 😎

Kid-friendliness: I am sure they have a sub for every kid. If the kid is picky or not, chubby or thin there’s a sub on the menu for them.”

“I had the most tasty and fresh shrimp fried rice. The shrimp was perfect, the veges were fresh and it was perfectly done. I enjoyed it immensely. I will be back.”

“Love the friendly staff. Very attentive to serving you with top notch customer service. I ordered a roast beef grinder and I can honestly say the grinder was loaded with meat. I'm in love with the chocolate cake.”

“IMHO, great Cheeseburger, Bacon 🥓Cheese Hotdogs and Fries.”
