“I just went to Country Kitchen and bought 2 chili cheese hot dogs for my co-worker and myself, it was "hot dog" day after all :-) Our office staff has gone there many times and loves the food. The mom and her son, Dave are so sweet! Nice to see a family business. Not only do you get GREAT food, but great service with a smile! Can't ask for more......Thanks for being right down the street from us!!“

“In the area for business, avoiding big chain coffee shops, stopped into Bob's for a coffee and guess what happened......the nice man getting my coffee says no charge. Who does that? Bob's coffee shop, THAT'S WHO. Thanks.“

“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)“

“Absolutely love this place.. Great atmosphere, food and staff! Love the outside dining option. I will be back for football season for sure!“

“I dine at this location about every 6-8 weeks and have never had a bad meal. Meat and vegetables are always cooked perfectly. Every waiter/waitress we had has also been great. I have mentioned this to the waitstaff and manager in the past as well to recognize exceptional food and service. A few weeks back my husband found that they have a shrimp and lobster chowder that is now a must have every time. Last mention, is their margarita is also perfect every time as well. I hope your visits are as pleasurable has ours have been. :)“

“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?!“

“We had an amazing wedding shower today at Sans Souci! From the beginning of the planning process through the event today, the staff has been phenomenal. The owner was great to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed to make our event successful. The food was delicious and the service was attentive. Our guests really enjoyed the mimosa bar. Our plated meals were served hot and tasted delicious. If you’re looking for a space to host a private event, I can’t recommend Sans Souci highly enough. We’ve eaten here many times and can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

“My hubby and I went for dinner here with some friends and had a great experience! Best mussels I ever had in my life and we both loved the fries too! Service was friendly and quick, especially for a party of 8 people. They also have some innovative mocktails! Highly recommended!“

“Wow !!! A group of 4 of us were traveling through the area and needed a good place for Dinner …We called and made a reservation , the owner Al was very personable on the phone .We arrived for dinner and he had our name on table , and he introduced himself …We had a couple of beers while he explained the menu to us ….we Decided on a couple of appetizers and also a small pizza to sample before ordering our dinner . The appetizers arrived and were very good, but the star of the show was definitely the pizza , so much flavor … the crust was to die for light and airy and so much crunch in the crust !!!! Next was the Dinner - Chicken Francaise , Chicken Parm , Chicken Marsala , Fettuccini Carbonaro .All meals arrived hot and were Delicious …We also got to meets Al’s Daughter who was very personable just like her Father ….We wished we had this Restaurant in our community . Give this Restaurant a shot , you won’t regret it . Thank you“

“I had them about 2 weeks ago & can’t stop thinking about them since. I read some other comments from a few other people who didn’t have much of anything good to say but personally I think their crazy the burger I had was amazing along with their parm fries 🔥 compared to MOOYAH I think this place is crack and reasonable pricing for a good burger“

“Red Rock Tavern is the hidden gem of Hartford—warm energy, great people, and a vibe that always hits. If you’re stepping out on a Saturday, the 90s Karaoke Sip & Paint is the move. Nostalgia, creativity, and good music in one room… it’s the perfect way to elevate your weekend.“

“Great food and very friendly staff. A real classic Northeastern diner, with all the right looks inside and outside. Highly recommend this place!“

“Best latkes that I’ve ever had!“

“What a fantastic venue for hosting an event! We recently held a work event here, and everything was wonderful from start to finish. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the staff made sure everything ran smoothly.

The banquet room is a hidden gem and perfect for anyone looking to host a corporate event, private party, or special gathering. It offers its own private entrance and dedicated restrooms, making the space feel truly exclusive and convenient for guests.“

“I went here to get their chicken Mac sandwich (which was delicious btw) and saw they had the viral fruit pastries, so I got a strawberry one! Tasted like a strawberry shortcake! Crunchy outer shell, soft strawberry mousse, and strawberry jam in the very center.
Staff was very kind even though I walked in at opening!
No music was playing which made me feel a little awkward waiting for my order in dead silence (I was the only one in there) haha felt very five guys esk“

“Tenth Hole Tavern is the best spot for casual dining/takeout this side of Glastonbury. Their food is excellent and the staff really knows how to show the customers a good time. Kendall and Kelly are the nicest and are very accommodating. Not to mention the full bar, expansive beer selection, and wide variety on the menu. Some of my personal favorites include the chicken tenders (with their house made buffalo sauce), the buttermilk chicken sandwich, and the oven roasted turkey wrap. Don’t sleep on the brick oven pizza either. Tenth Hole Tavern has earned a special place in my heart❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My favorite spot to hang out. Been around a long time, very consistent.“

“EXCELLENT PLACE , THERE FOOD IS GREAT N PRICE IS VERY RESONABLE. YOU GOTTA TRY THERE SEA FOOD PLATTER & THERE WINGS EXC. NICE COZY PLACE , N ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT AS WELL. COME ON DOWN YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT !!“

“I was a little taken back at first but the setup just adds to the atmosphere of this place. The people were fast, attentive and the meatball calzone was soooo good. Huge calzone! I ate half for lunch and the other half for dinner. It tastes like it was made fresh as well as the pizza sauce. Delicious!“

“Amazing ambiance, incredible food, and friendly service. The bartenders make delicious drinks and the small plates are unique and phenomenal. One of my favorite restaurants.“

“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.“

“That buttered hot dog roll 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 oh.my.gawwwddddd! SO good! And it doesn’t break at the bottom like most hot dog buns do. Service was super fast and all the staff was friendly and looked happy and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great environment! Will go again!“

“Stopped by 1851 and had a fantastic time. The staff was super friendly, welcoming, and attentive right from the start.
​The drinks were delicious and well-crafted, making it an easy spot to hang out and unwind. While we didn’t order any food this visit, everything coming out of the kitchen looked and smelled incredible—we'll definitely be back to try a few dishes next time.
​The outdoor cornhole was such a great touch and added a fun, lively energy to the whole place. Perfect spot for great drinks, good company, and a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“My family of five recently had dinner at Beachland Tavern. I just want to give a shout-out to the staff. We have dairy allergies and they went above and beyond to make sure we were set. Thank you. We will definitely be back and we really appreciate it. Food was great, wine and beer were perfect, but the staff deserves gold stars! Thanks again and highly recommend, especially to families!“

“Celebrated our daughter’s birthday on Friday and everything was AMAZING! Our server, Jaden, was fabulous and our food was incredible!! Definitely a great experience!“
