“Came in last minute this past Saturday with a party of 9 (4 adults and 5 children under 11) as grandson had a baseball game nearby. Was my first time. Food choices were very good and kids menu also had lots of offerings and their meals also included ice cream. I can’t say enough about our waiter, Matt. He was just the perfect server for our party, as he had children himself and totally understood how challenging it could be eating out with kids. He put the kids orders in right away. He knew just want to stop by and check on us. He is an asset to your restaurant and you’re very lucky to have him. We will definitely be back. Was a very positive experience.“

“I’ve been to this restaurant more times than I can count, and I keep coming back for the exact same meal because it’s THAT good! On top of the great food, the service is always on point. Huge shoutout to my server, Steven, who is always friendly, laid-back, and makes the experience even better.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, laid-back place to enjoy a late lunch with great food and great service, look no further. Ask for Steven — you won’t be disappointed!“

“Stopped in for a very last minute birthday dinner. The staff quickly accommodated a large group (with kids) no problem. Food and service was excellent and the live music really made the night. We were very impressed. Thanks for a memorable night.“

“Stopped in here while I was in the area with a business colleague who insisted we had to eat here, and he definitely wasn't wrong! The food was fantastic, and I really appreciated the hometown atmosphere. As a Southerner, I always enjoy a place that has that welcoming, down-home feel.

The portions were generous, the food was delicious, and the prices were very fair. It's the kind of place that makes you glad you stopped in. I'll definitely be coming back whenever I'm in the area again. Highly recommend!“

“We are a group of eight Women golfers that travel each week to play a different course in CT. Get the usual eye rolling looks from the men from parking lot, pro shop to the course and finally the bar. Some men are polite but they are few. Quarry Ridge staff went over the top to make our Tuesday golf experience relaxing and fun. Course was in good shape. Kevin in the pro shop attentive asking questions after our round to see if we had a good time and what were our thoughts about women’s golf. Poor Kevin got a earful I’m afraid. He was such a good sport! The chef came out and checked on our lunch. Talked about his menu. Very enthusiastic. It was a perfect day Tuesday Blue sky, cool temps, Great Golf and being with friends. Thank you to all the staff at Quarry Ridge. You will see us all again. Keep up the great work of making women feel valued in the sport of golf. Kindest Regards, Kathy Mroczka“

“We had the jumbo wings with buffalo on the side. Some of the best wings I’ve ever had. 10/10“

“Had our 37 grammar school reunion Our waitress Mary Lu was amazing We had a set up in the back which was perfect as we were a fun 🤩 group The food was great and the cocktails 🍹 amazing (recommend Strawberry coconut martini)“

“It's a decent restaurant if you are staying in the hotel. I probably wouldn't come here otherwise. The food seems fresh and well prepared. The menu is very small. My only issue was they clearly don't wash their romaine lettuce, this should be a crime after all the issues with recalls. Not to mention, who wants to eat grit?!“

“Valentines dinner was phenomenal. Will definitely be returning. Thank you!“

“I had a great experience at The Bar & Grill in Newington. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt casual, comfortable, and welcoming. It had the kind of neighborhood spot feeling where you can relax, enjoy good food, and not feel rushed.

The staff was friendly and attentive, and the food came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered. I also liked that it felt like a fun place to meet up with friends, grab a meal, watch a game, or just enjoy a laid-back night out. The overall experience was easy, enjoyable, and exactly what I was hoping for.

I would definitely come back to The Bar & Grill and would recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly local place with good food, good service, and a comfortable atmosphere.“

“Place is beautiful and service was amazing and yummy !!“
