“Recently hosted a 40th Birthday at Iron Horse and cannot rave enough about the event. Frank, the Manager, was incredibly helpful and responsive, which made planning the party for 60 people really simple. They were able to assist with bringing in a Trivia Master and the place looked amazing with the decorations we bought. The food and choices were awesome - everyone raved (get the egg rolls!) and all in all it was the perfect evening. Can't thank Frank and his team enough for making the evening such a huge success and we'll definitely be hosting parties there again!“

“The place is a little quirky....everyone seems to know everyone so its a little intimidating at first but the staff is welcoming and the beer selection is fantastic. The only food I've had is the roast beef sandwich which was suggested by another customer and she was right on. It was fresh, warm and pretty tasty. They had trivia going on when I was there and it seemed well received. The building is old and unique and the fireplace makes the room. Parking is a little tight but its not a big deal to park across the street. We have been twice now and its a do again for sure.“

“We arrived at 1pm and it was packed, we waited 20 minutes to be seated. Our order was good, except for the coffee, which needs to be improved because it is literally water, it has no flavor. If you want good coffee, this is not the place. Our waiter was very attentive. The prices are always very reasonable. The pancakes are exquisite. We always visit East Windsor, CT and Holyoke.“

“Well, well, well…Don’t you love it when you’ve discovered a new fave place? This was our first time dining at Puente, and as we tend to do, we TRIED to explore the menu, but there is so much to choose from - fantastic selections because of a varied menu. Firstly, before I get to the food, as a Plant Mama, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the presence of so many houseplants. Just gorgeous, healthy plants that you can tell are loved.We came for happy hour, but tapped into the dinner menu too. Dillon provided excellent service throughout, the wait for our meal components was appropriate, the music was at just the right volume and created the right Latino vibe. We tried sweet fried plantains, yucca fries, guac and salsa, (the chips are fantastic - you know it’s hard to find THE perfect chip!!) the carne asada, red beans and rice, and the Papi Chulo. ??????. Absolutely no room for dessert, which we regret. Sipped on several margaritas between us and I tried the Cocuito-tini - so, so good. We’ll be back soon!“

“I was out running errands & found that I was really hungry, so stopped in to have some lunch. Had a hot lobster roll with fries & cole slaw. It was the best! Even had a slice of cantaloupe, honey dew & a pickle. As good as all this was, the server, Alize, was truly amazing! On her own, with a mostly full dining room, she was calm, patient, diligent, competent -- and service was fast! So extra ordinary!Kudos to the kitchen staff, too, cause they must have been just as amazing.“

“Haven’t been here in a while and my friend was taking me for lunch for my birthday. First and foremost our waitress Dawn was one of the most amazing waitress I ever had. She was so attentive and great sense of humor. Got our orders right out to us and the food was fantastic! The prices reasonable and I will be going back A+“

“I read some of the reviews about this spot and had to come and check it out for myself. When I entered Roma's for lunch, there was one other person at the bar and then a gentleman setting up TV's behind the bar. He came over with a Menu after taking my drink order. I decided to go with their honey bbq wings, New England clam chowder and Hawaiin Burger. The guy behind the bar was friendly and kept striking up conversation with myself and the other gentleman. My wings came out and I must say, these golden temptations weren't just slightly crisp but met my tastebuds with a sweetness about them, that when dipped into the blue cheese; only set off a powerful bite that was creamy and a bit tangy. I had fun with the rollercoaster of taste upon these wings. As for my Clam Chowder. It was chunky and had much going on. Clams came packed with a degree of seasonings that started out good but ended in a bad way for the chowder was a bit too salty. This chowder would be the perfect start to. any meal in the winter, had it not been for the saltiness of it all; taking away from what could be its own star of a chowder show. Now my fries, bliss in a bite with just the right amount of salt upon them and a crispiness to be reckoned with. Even the burger made my mouth happy with its freshness on the beef; made to order. Didn't taste like frozen pot luck beef at all. Seasoned just right and the pineapples, along with onion crisps held enough flavor to transcend this burger into the next phase of its life...The bun was toasted both inside and out, holding the components together for a nice barrage of burger bliss. Not bad at all!“

“First time trying after living nearby for years- glad we did! Staff were friendly, knowledgeable and professional-- food was generously portioned, flavors and temps were on point. Pizza was cheesier than I like, but a hit with the family! Calzone was massive and ingredients were fresh. Potato wedges were delicious with the Mediterranean seasoning and lemon. Will be back again and again-- also, the interior is deceptive from the outside, it's pretty spacious! Give them a try!!“

“Sat at the bar and shared a couple of beers. Our bartender was very attentive, and checked up on us frequently. The bar area was clean and so was the bathroom. We came at an off time so it wasn’t busy. It was nice that day, they had the garage doors open with some tables sitting in that entry way. A bit too chilly for me, but some people were taking advantage of the fresh air. We didn’t have any food.“
