“I've been going to TJ's for a little over a year now and have always had the best service. Their food is always made fresh to order and never disappoints. (The garlic parmesan wings, pizza and shroom burger are my favorites so far). This place has great vibes and I'll continue to visit until I no longer can't.“

“Eclectic menu. While not extensive, there is variety with daily specials. We started with the dumplings and chili with beans. Dumplings and sauce for dipping quite flavorful in the best way. The chili was not too hot, and a hot sauce offered we we wanted more heat. The pasta and red was plentiful and delicious.“

“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! ♥️“

“I have wanted to try Tavern on the Trax for a while now. I chose a beautiful Tuesday night to get dinner and drinks here. There is plenty of parking in the train station parking lot. It was fairly busy for a Tuesday night which is a good sign. I chose to sit outside and enjoy the weather. I ordered the clam chowder, steak tips dinner and some tasty cocktails. Everything was amazing. The steak tips were so good and the vegetables were full of flavor along with the delicious mashed potatoes. The drinks that I got hit the spot. The most impressive thing to me was the amazing service. My waitress/bartender was always coming outside to check on myself and the other parties outside now matter how busy all the while training another waitresses. They were both amazing. It was the perfect mix of great food, great drinks,and amazing service all at a great price. I'm so glad I finally got here. I will definitely be back again. My only regret is not coming here sooner. Great job,Tavern on the Trax!“

“First time coming here after an epic fail at Babes , and they were 9/10. No major complaints, location great, parking was good. Set up, music, service very good. Tiny wait time for food but music was so good and the food was amazing it made up for it. Will definitely be going again!“

“This place has been around since I was a kid. It has a lot of history . Every one in EH knows this place. The walls are covered in sports memorabilia. It's amazing to see it all. The bartenders are friendly. I definitely recommend this place. Remember lots of parking in rear of building.“
