21 Best Bar & Grill near Meriden

“Fantastic place, great food. Come for taco Tuesday or any day. The beers are cold and the variety is good. The staff is superb and ready to recommend good brews. Spot on“

“Finally made it here after years of driving by.

We started with a Pineapple jalapeño margarita while we snacked on some coconut shrimp. We also got barbecue ribs with cheesy potatoes, and the meat literally fell off the bone, everything was so juicy and tender. The Cajun bacon chicken wrap was packed with chicken, bacon and lettuce, not your typical wrap where the end is just breading. Very filling and delicious

We came on a Saturday during the Berlin fair so there was no one there. We sat outside to enjoy the trains passing and service was prompt for the one server working

Parking: Limited number of free parking spots (8 or so) all other parking must be paid for through the station parking lot“

“Great experience hosting a party at the Pavilion today! Beautiful location, excellent food & service.“

“Thank you for the quick turnaround on my last minute order yesterday! Your suggestion for a second dish went over better than my original request.. Great food, as always! Can hardly wait until things get back to normal and your hours expand. In the mean time I'm happy to know for sure the food is just as good at home! Looking forward to the theater shows, as well!“

“My friend loved the mini-burgers and lasagna soup, and I really enjoyed the eggplant lasagna. Great food for a cold winter day!“

“I recently hosted my son’s 1st birthday party of over 100 guests at Hawks Landing. Jeff & Paul were absolutely amazing to work with. I work with a lot of different venues all over Connecticut with my event planning business and this place is truly next level. The attention to detail and the way the entire staff works together to really give you everything you envision is hard to come by. Paul and I designed the entire event menu from scratch. Anything I asked for, he made happen! My biggest concern was that I didn’t want guests waiting too long for food but I also didn’t want a sit down meal. Paul suggested we do multiple food stations around the space so nobody was waiting. He also had his staff start with passed appetizers while everyone was mingling. It worked out PERFECTLY. My theme was “Jack’s 1st rodeo.” Paul even offered to request that his staff wear jeans and a flannel shirt to match my vibe. Every single member of the Hawks team had such a hand in perfecting the day. My guests are still raving about the food and experience more than a month later. They really made the day so special and I couldn’t be more grateful to Jeff, Paul and the entire Hawks team! ♥️“

“First time here, so wasn't exactly sure what to do. We figured it out...for the most part. Definitely going back and will know exactly what to do lol. Tasty sauces and fresh good (except the meat is frozen). I'll ask for my egg to be put on last minute, so it's not so hard cooked. Try it out!! Also, under $80 with drinks for FOUR people. Credit card company asked if my 33% tip was correct lol.“

“Great place!! Music and dancing is the best“

“Hi thanks again so much so much so much so much“

“Food was ok. Didnt have the pizza, though I've heard, its very good.Heard the band, theres dancing too, which is great. Tall seats in band area rather uncomfortable, and they need more seating for us older folks as the tall seats don't cut it. Friendly and accommodating staff.“

“Great dive bar.Lunch with a view.“

“One of my favorite bars! From the time you walk in to the time you leave, you’re treated well. The service is consistently great. I enjoy seeing Melissa the bartender. She’s able to talk to her customers while multitasking. She’s attentive to everyone. Food is good and they have a variety for everyone. Never had a bad experience there, would highly recommend!“

“Great food, friendly servers“

“I love it there, but some of the recent changes I’m unhappy with. For example, no more lotto or Keno, no more being able to hang out with the awesome workers after their shift.“

“The staff is amazing so friendly and always welcoming. Always know how to make you feel part of the family!!!!! Shout out to Rae Rae my bartender/confidante lol 😉“
