“The best authentic Mexican food in Ct period, the staff that works there is absolutely amazing and so is the food !”

“I'm a regular customer of Aroy Thai Garden for several reasons, beginning with their remarkably delicious hand-crafted food, which never disappoints. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming, warm, comfortable, and friendly. They are incredibly kind and accommodating to a person's tastes, and their menu, full of fascinating options, is extensive. I always look forward to dining in or taking out. This restaurant is an absolute gem.”

“Best restaurant in Middletown”

“I can’t decide what’s better.. the food or the customer service.”

“I always come to this restaurant, the food is so good, the drinks are always spot on, not too strong and not too sweet just how I like it. The servers/bartender are very friendly. They have some nice decorations put up if you want to take some pictures and the atmosphere is nice. The dinning room is a perfect place to chat and feel at peace with the music. The bar is great to come have some quick drinks a couple of tapas, listen to music and leave happy, the patio is a nice place to enjoy the view and weather. Prices match the quality of the food. The point is this is one of my favorite places to come to with my family, wife, friends. they do such a good job with everything they do! I want them to get more recognition because they definitely have so much potential!”

“I got the teriyaki chicken. Wow you get a lot of bang for your buck. It came with rice, miso soup, and sushi. All that for around $10. It was fresh and good. Better believe I am going back.”

“Tonight was my first visit to Steamed. The service was great and prompt. The food was exceptional and truly authentic Chinese cuisine. I decided to go with the dumpling sampler as an entree after starting with a pork won ton soup. It would be nice if they had alcoholic beverages, but the flavor and quality of the food more than made up for that and the fruit tea was delicious. We will definitely go back soon. This place is a gem!”

“Great value at this place. Good portions. Flavoring was o k. Definitely not a sit down restaurant. The crab ragoon was bland, the tasty egg rolls made up for that. Steamed dumplings were on point, with a great sauce.”

“Food was pretty good. Honey wings were not crispy so that was disappointing. Pizza had burnt crust which was a bummer because I love the crust normally. Otherwise the flavor was there. Very noisy inside so not conducive to a regular conversation. Service was excellent though.”

There is an immense collection of board games to choose from and clean laminate tables to play on in a variety of sizes. There is a full coffee bar with snacks. The decor is a fun mix of D&D, LOTR and fun game signs. The person working was knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. I look forward to trying out some of the board games next time.”

“We did some shopping then we're going to check out the Duham Fair. but we were late and didn't want to take the bus ride for 30 minutes left of the Fair. so we looked for somewhere to eat. what luck! We had a fabulous experience! A couple great drinks. Some delicious garlic bread. Then dinner came. my eggplant rolatini was amazing! my wife dish was as well. we had the pistachio Gelato for dessert. and I had a delicious espresso. The service? it was a delight!

If you decide to order a cake from Sweet Harmony you will not be disappointed!!!”

“Taino Smokehouse is a hidden gem in Middletown! Best fried chicken, garlic mashed and jalepeno cole slaw ever!”

“Salsa's 3 catered our NYE party this year. Talon goes here for lunch all the time and we love Salsa's. We are overwhelmed with how great the catering is! We knew the food would be great because it always is. But they worked with us on portions when we got our headcount. This saved us money and allowed us to buy a greater number of items. Ignore the online catering menu and go in and talk to them since they will break anything down to a half tray and really help you have a great event. Super impressed, 100% recommend and we will of course go back time and time again!”

“They are the best!!! Fresh food, super tasty and they are super friendly! I tried the poke bowl multiple times, açaí bowl and dragon fruit bowl. Awesome everytime ❤️”

“I went to this KFC's drive thru and grabbed a chicken pot pie for lunch yesterday. The staff was friendly. I was in and out quickly. As for the pie, it was good, but I have had better. For the price and taking into account the speed and convenience, it wasn't a bad deal. I like the Famous Bowl better when it comes to KFC.”

“todo la comida es fresca acabada de hacer y sabrosa de primera calidad y con un buen servicio i love it macdonald”

“Dunkin on Washington Street is the best Dunkin around. The girls that “work”, really work hard and some of the nicest people I’ve met. I’ve been to other Dunkin’s, but can not compare to the Washington street, the only Dunkin that gets my order correct and treat the customers with respect! I could name names but they are my very favorite. Regular here.DORI Musumeci”

“This store recently installed self-checkout kiosks; I guess in an effort to streamline service. When me and my wife and I placed our order, the employee taking the order grumbled something in Spanish... FRUSTRATED WITH ME!? Unfortunately for him, I'm bilingual and checked him on his misconduct!”

“Grill Mon Island, Middletown

Summary- cozy spot offering Jamaican classics. You will enjoy your experience here.

Full review- Just found out about this gem and had to try it. As a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine it is our mission to try and review every restaurant we can in the area.

Apparently, they’ve been open for a few months but we weren’t aware. Found them on a google maps search at 5.05pm on Saturday. The listing said they closed at 5pm. On a whim called the phone number immediately and pleaded with them to stay open for pick up. The kind lady replied that she was planning to be open for another couple of hours. So I jumped in the car and headed over there quickly.

We ordered variety of dishes :
- Chicken jerk chicken
- Curry goat
- Oxtail

The jerk chicken was running out so we completed the order with a little bit of stew chicken.

All the dishes were very good.
The rice and peas were truly special - Perhaps an extra dose of Love❤️
The Stew chicken was also outstanding.
We will be ordering all these dishes again.

The location is incredibly convenient. it is on College Street literally a block from Main Street.

Middletown is emerging us a culinary destination, and this lovely cozy Jamaican spot really elevates the game.

The food is good. The people are wonderful. the location is fantastic.

Parking: Plenty of parking- street, garage.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly”

“Great service and food. I’m guessing it was the owner that handled my order because he really knew his stuff. Answered all questions and was very friendly. Fresh, delicious ingredients. Half priced fresh boba tea during happy hour. Excellent convenient location on Main Street. If you like poke bowls then you’re in the right spot. The only thing is the place could use more regular cleaning of their tables and maybe some shades for the windows during the summer.”

“This is mine and my son's favorite restaurant in Middletown. The Hibachi is the best. The owners are awesome so friendly. You get a lot of food for the price.”

“Great live original music and it's very romantic”

“Absolutely Amazing! Easy to communicate wit, fair pricing & perfect design/delivery. Our Wedding Cake, was awesome and tasted so good! Will be getting all of our cakes from here.”

“I have only had take out, but ordering on line is super easy. This Chinese food restaurant allows you to select whatever type of fried rice or lo Mein you want in a combination dinner. That is an awesome option. You can also add egg. (For a slight up-charge) to your rice which is a delicious option too.The crab Rangoons are delicious and you get way more in an order than other Chinese restaurants in town.

Parking: Parking is available right beside the building.”

“Great food great service!!! Specially cheesy burger was great highly recommended!!!!”

“Such good food!! My son and I really enjoyed our pizza! He got pepperoni, and my tastebuds were immensely pleased to have the flavors of the Buffalo chicken AND Mac and cheese pizza dancing around. Absolutely delicious mixture.”

“I fell in love with this adorable little spot! So cute and friendly and delicious food and coffee and pastries. They even have a little market with grab and go stuff and honestly, you could spend your day here working quietly and have 2 full meals and a snack lol. And prob no one would say a word to you. Prices are reasonable and the food feels homemade and fresh. We were visiting and it's always fun to find local spots like this one that seem to be part of the lifeblood of the town. Such a lively little vibe while still serene. I saw people alone working, people having lunch with their adult kids, couples having a late breakfast, and people grabbing a quick lunch on their breaks. I can see why! Food was excellent from the crepes to the sandwiches but the vibe is hard to beat!”

“Hi thanks again sp good so good so good so good”

“We've used Illianos for catering for our last few parties. The food is reasonable and our guests rave about the food. Everything is always delicious. Tonight I tested positive for Covid and had to cancel a party last minute. Illianos was so gracious and allowed me to cancel 2 hours before pick up without charging me a thing. They were so very nice when I called. They won a customer FOR LIFE! I will never hesitate to recommend them. I am grateful to them for taking care of me!”

“We host a ton and usually cook, but we decided around the holidays it would be easier to cater. We used Jon’s and they did a phenomenal job. Everything was hot when we picked it up, and our guests raved about the food. Reasonably priced and great to work with! Definitely will be catering from them again.”

“I was very satisfied with the Pizza i ordered tonight for dinner. I have not had good fresh pizza like this in some time now. For now on I will be ordering my Pizza through Big Cheese. Thank you so much I definitely enjoyed it ?”

“Super cute, aesthetically pleasing restaurant with Peruvian influence. Great tasting food and drinks with excellent service. Our waitress was so delightful and the bus boys were efficient. Food was fresh and delicious. We had JALEITA DE PESCADO Y MARISCOS, CHICHARRON DE NEW CALAMAR, Paella, tres leches, margarita and the pineapple and passion cocktail. They made my husbands birthday super special. Oh and they had lots of places to take photos and clean restrooms (automatic soap dispenser was empty though).

Parking: Street parking with meters using Park Mobile. We got lucky as we were there early. Parked a block over and walked.”

So many fresh ingredients to load up into a salad bowl. The spicy hummus and tahini sauce were perfect. I can’t wait to return again and try another protein bowl. Highly recommend! Service was fantastic too. Thank you!

Vegetarian options: So many great options to choose, even if you are not a hummus fan!”

“Shout out to MIA in Middletown! My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic dinner there last night. It was our first time, and we enjoyed the fried rice, shrimp tacos, pork empanadas, and toston tacos.

The ambiance there is awesome, the music is fun, and the service is wonderful. Can’t wait to go back!”
