New American Restaurants near Southington, CT

“Wonderful food and service“

“Always an amazing experience! We went last night for dinner - delicious. Gabby, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, full of spunk and attentive. We will be back“

“Walking by The Lab on our way to Leaps and Bones, I always look at the creative menu posted in the window of The Lab. Today my pup got some treats and I took home a sandwich that was spectacular! I’m sure my pup and I will both get treats every time we go to Factory Square in the future!“

“Factory Square is a huge old factory that was converted into a mixed-use space. Parking was free and plentiful; you have the option to park on street or in their huge lot. It's located on a paved bike trail too; the entrance by the bike path didn't have an elevator but on the side entrance, there was one. The space was spacious, loved the exposed pipes, bricks, and the historic feel.

There were a few businesses that we visited on this occasion. The first one was Perkatory Coffee for some caffeine; then Rosie's Royal chocolate for some sweets; then The Lab for lunch; finally, Witchcraft Brewery for a beer. Service from these places were great. There were tables and seats in the hallway you can dine and relax at. Other businesses include, a bakery, a pet shop, CrossFit, escape room, arcade, etc.

I think this is a great use of space and a fun spot to hang out at. I loved all the options there. I think they're constantly adding new businesses too. Overall, a fun spot and worth the visit!“

“Just had our first meal here. The entire restaurant is filthy. Our dishes that held our silverware were reused. Our table was dirty To where we washed it with our drinking water. We were ready to leave but had put in our order and wanted to try food. The food Was decent but pricey for amount you got. Called manager over to show him how thick the dust was on ledge where everyone sits And eats. He said he was new. Not an excuse. Restaurant was empty now I know why. The whole place smells dirty as soon as you sit down and have to breathe in one spot. This restaurant will not last if things don't Change. It will be a repeat of Chips restaurant all over again.“

“The food blew me away for a tavern. It was delicious from the appetizer to the desert. Best meatball I ever ate. Would definitely drive the distance back to eat here again.“

“Always hav fun when im there!“

“The best pizza friendly people nice drinks“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brunch done right at Fork & Fire in Farmington. Fresh oysters, perfectly executed breakfast sandwiches, and a bread plate that absolutely delivers. You can tell when a kitchen actually cares—and this one does. Full bar with a strong bourbon selection, great cocktails, and a space that just feels good to be in. Whether you’re at the bar, a table, or a booth, it works. Service was on point, food came out right, and the overall vibe hit exactly how a weekend brunch should. If you’re looking for a spot that balances quality, price, and atmosphere without trying too hard—this is it. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“Food and servers are exceptional! The owners are exceptionally kinda d generous! You can sit and talk with friends,and the servers will not rush you out! Such kind and thoughtful people. The place is spotless!“

“First visit. Food was excellent. We will be back!!“

“I’ve driven past Philly Grill in Waterbury many times and kind of second-guessed it, but it really surprised me. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak with fries and it was amazing—full of flavor, fresh ingredients, and the fries were perfectly cooked. I was greeted as soon as I walked in, and my food was brought right to my table. Great service and even better food. Definitely coming back!

Update: I had to come back after how good my first visit was. This time I ordered the lamb and beef gyro with fries and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb and beef were cooked perfectly and seasoned just right, and the lettuce, tomato, and onions were fresh and crisp. Two visits in and they’ve been consistent with both quality and flavor. Can’t wait to try the wings next!“

“The service is consistently amazing, and the staff are genuinely kind, warm, and attentive. It’s clear they care about their guests, which makes every visit feel personal and relaxed.“

“Big, juicy patties, placed on buns that are perfect for them, and paired with fries that are a little seasoned in a way that I love.

I've come here twice outside their lunch and dinner rush hours, and my order would be out in less than 5 min. It can be a bit of a wait during their rush hours though.“

“We had my daughter’s baby shower at Lola’s. From the start of booking until the day of the shower. So easy to work with. The day of the shower, we were greeted with such warmth and truly our waitress for our party, Becky, was fantastic. Catered to our every need and was so beyond helpful. She worked very hard and was so pleasant! The food was amazing and plenty of it! Guests went back for seconds! Becky even went above and beyond for my mom who couldn’t eat something and prepared a new one just for her. Truly a gem of a place! Thank you again to the owners and to our waitress who went above and beyond for making our day so perfect! We can’t wait to come back! Kim Landeen“

“Just leaving Hop Haus in Plantsville and Sam was the best waitress and bartender! Good food and drinks were amazing! Definitely will be back again!❤️“

“Great place. I’ll have to make it a point to work it into the calendar more. Beer was excellent. 24 different beers on tap I believe. Burger was great - big and delicious and my wife enjoyed her wrap. Bonus points for the King Diamond and Rob Halford photos on the wall. I didn’t get to check out all the prints. Cool spot. We’ll be back.“

“We miss the Noto Italian Market already. Wonderful, delicious cheese lasagna better than my mother's. Please, please offer it again once you reopen the Italian market in Plantsville. Right now I don't even see lasagna on the menu but many people I know love it and I have been keeping a couple in the freezer too. Hope you plan to continue to offer it. Everything in the Italian market was good. The sauces, cheese etc.“

“Fantastic meal, as always last night!!! My wife and I both had Penne Ala Vodka with chicken cutlets and my son had rigatoni with house red sauce. Enough food for two meals for each of us. Thank you guys for being such a great and friendly restaurant. See you soon!“
