“Stumbled across this place after we got out of a concert, and seriously they have amazing food. The best fried pickles I have ever had. The food does take a minute to come out but its because they cook real food. Where we were sitting you could see the kitchen and you just knew the food was going to be good. The drinks were strong and the atmosphere was chill. The owner was walking around and just was super welcoming, the staff was attentive, you can't beat what you get for the price. Me and my husband are from out of state and we already said we would take a day trip just to go back here to eat.“

“I made a reservation here on a Saturday for a date night with my wife and we had a great time. The atmosphere was cool. The service and food were all very good. (We had Cuban Sliders, Calamari and loaded plantain nachos). It was nice to have a unique restaurant experience for a change. It’s the type of place that everyone in the area should do at least once.“

“Great bar. Karaoke every day, great service and newly reflected pool tables. Amazing wings too! Giancarlo is the best host/Bartender you'll ever meet.“

“First time going to Stryker’s - came to see the fabulous duo/ band- had a wonderful meal with fabulous service- honestly not a place I would have normally gone to but everything was wonderful and we will definitely be back- great food, amazing service and fun night of music and really good food“

“If you go to Mancora and don’t get Julio as your server… you’re doing it WRONG. 💯🔥

We went to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday and Julio turned it into a whole EXPERIENCE. The energy? 10/10. The service? ELITE. The vibe? UNMATCHED.

He was on point the entire night—attentive, fast, super friendly, and just knew how to make everything feel special. It didn’t feel like regular service, it felt like VIP treatment from start to finish.

He made sure the birthday celebration hit different 🎉 and honestly, that’s the kind of service you don’t forget.

Mancora is already amazing, but Julio takes it to another level. If you see him, just know you’re about to have a great night.

We’re definitely coming back… and asking for Julio every time 🔥👏“

“My first time dining experience was excellent! Food was delicious, waitstaff very attentive and friendly. Me and my daughter loved the atmosphere and we were lucky to come in while live Polish band was playing. Such a fun place with great food. Must try is definitely German chocolate cake😋 We will be back soon for sure!“

“I have been going to Franks on and off for 15 years. (My father used to lived above the bad in the 1970s but that is a story for another time). This place is quiet and quick service. The staff is also appealing to the eye. I highly recommend.“

“Excellent service! Lots of good options for food & beverages. Love their outdoor patio and the updated field bar was so gorgeous for my baby shower !“

“They have the best sour cream and onion chips“

“First time here, but I was very impressed by the food and service. I'm trying to eat a more plant-based diet and the veggie quesadilla was not only delicious, but extremely satisfying and filling. One of a few places that actually have blue cheese stuffed olives for martinis! Will definitely stay here again!“

“The best chicken wings in CT are here! Large bar area, friendly attentive bartender (Monica you are awesome) and staff. Just a wonderful place to eat, drink and socialize.“

Happy new year from Brigetts😉❤️

“I know this was a million years ago (‘80s) the giant LI iced teas? They were served in like a gallon glass with siphons and they served a bunch of people, and they were buy one get one on your birthday! Does anyone remember?“

“Club house on Main in Glastonbury has been a new spot that I have ventured to from time to time and found it always lively with staff that is equally lively, pleasant and attentive. Though there has been one server Nicole W who stood out during my last visit when I brought my kids to watch the Uconn game. I found her very attentive, caring and available before during and through out our time there. While our team Uconn lost we still felt as we won with our experience there under the care of Nicole. In fact we look forward to future visits in hopes we have Nicole W working with us again or someone with the same demeanor and even took the time to take a picture with us to seal the night!! Great experience!!
Thanks Club on Main

“I was in town for the weekend and came across this bar. Let me say the hospitality was amazing. I talked to this one security, i forgot his name (big bearded white guy on the second floor ), he gave me recommendations on what other bars were around and ideas on how to spend my time in CT. The bartenders were amazing and the drinks were great. The bathrooms could be a little bit more clean but overall the experience Was great“
