50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Southington

“This is my second five star review of the month. If you know anything about my reviews, you know that I’m pretty strict with how I review my food choices. Was going by this place at 6:30 AM and greeted with a very kind and happy person.The manager or owner was super friendly with me, explained everything to me and even gave me a few toppings on the house because it was my first time. I got an açai bowl that knocked my socks off. It was full of great granola and seeds and peanut butter. I couldn’t have asked for a better breakfast. And top it all off. They had great strong coffee. I’m super happy with the experience I had at blend healthy spot. I will definitely highly recommend this to anyone that’s looking for a great healthy alternative for breakfast.“

“As a former military serviceman I walked in and immediately felt at home. This place pays tribute to servicemen and women like few others. The service was amazing, the gentleman behind the counter was one of the nicest I’ve come across. He was prompt and attentive and kept a smile on. I’m beyond impressed and would recommend to ANYONE that loves good BBQ at a fair price!“

“What a magical experience! My group of 7 tucked away in a beautiful corner of the shop and enjoyed pot after pot of tea. The owners were so accommodating and advised us on different teas we might enjoy. It was a lovely atmosphere and there were so many eclectic trinkets, toys, soaps, candles, jam, jewelry, perfume… and more! Thank you for a lovely morning <3“

“my fiance and i decided to try last night, and we loved them! i don't normally like sushi, but i'm pregnant and was craving it so the california roll that comes in the dinner box was a safe choice and it was AMAZING! we will definitely be returning! our new favorite food spot!“

“Great spot to vend Lucky Burrito Art Thank you for having us! Really friendly staff and atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Crystal is the best in the world and if you don't like her I don't know what to tell you.“

“The service was excellent at 11pm. The woman who took my order and gave me my food was pleasant and upbeat.
My food on the other hand, sucked. I ordered a classic chicken sandwich, no tomato or pickles. The preparation of my sandwich was spot on, except for the chicken. It was hard as a rock. Had the hardest time just trying to take one bite out of it. You could tell it was old and sitting around for a while.
Total waste of $10.“

“I go here almost daily. Simply the best.“

His passion and precision come through in every bite, and the Omakase was absolutely outstanding—beautifully presented, fresh, and perfectly balanced. Joe’s warmth and genuine hospitality make you feel like more than just a guest; you feel like a friend. If you’re looking for world-class sushi and an exceptional experience, Golden Mango is the place to go.“

Vegetarian options: I see they have broccoli and beef bites I haven't tried the new item yet but I'm sooo looking forward to it ! Yummy

Parking: Parking is free and enough space

Kid-friendliness: The kids love it. They are kind, smile and laugh with the kids and they serve them what the kids ask for. It's so sweet

“This review is a part of my quest of visiting all CT breweries. I met Counter Weight numerous times during beer festivals, but never understood their appeal to the public. It was until I visited the brewery.

First things first, the brewery occupies a big building and has an enormous space. The first floor is sectioned into 3 rooms, allowing for some privacy should you plan any events. There's also a patio, where the majority during our visit were the dog owners, and a 21+ game zone with some field games. They also have space on the second floor, but I did not go there. The brewery partnered with Ritual Pizza as their kitchen. We ordered a pizza and chicken tenders, and everything was delicious. The whole place was packed on Saturday evening.

Now, for the beers. This brewery specializes in 2 directions: traditional European beers and IPAs. As I'm not a big fan of IPAs, I was focused on the European styles during my visit. You cannot order beer flights here, but they can provide a short pour (10oz) of any beer with a limit of one short pour at a time. I tried many of Counter Weight beers before, but still their lineup was almost completely new to me, so my guess is that the beers are rotated often. I was able to try 5 beers during my visit. My absolute favorite was Grodziskie - a traditional 3.5% smoked wheat beer, which is incredibly hard to find in CT. But in general, I loved everything I had - Vienna Lager was rich in taste, Ein Helles was a direct hit in the style, and so on.

I'm pretty impressed by the quality of the beers produced here. If you're a fan of European beers, this should be a stop on your journey.“

“We found Butcher Bros on a random google search and are so happy we did! It was a great way to celebrate my husbands 40th birthday! We had a large group and they put us in a room that we basically had to ourselves. It was a great experience from atmosphere to food! Thank you so much!!“

“Food Was Good!! Fast Serving!!“

“Awesome Beer! Super friendly staff!
Mark the head brewer and owner will make you feel right at home.
Played in the Inaugural Skee-Ball Tournament in the winter of 2025.

“A reliable source for yummy fresh pizza or meals!! I love the pizza by the slice, garlic knots and desserts.“

“A Hidden Gem! 🍻Coles Road Brewing I recently discovered this amazing brewery and I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxed afternoon with Sean. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide range of styles to suit every palate. I especially loved No Straws Required-Raspberry ❤️ The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always happy to recommend a beer based on your preferences. If you're a beer lover in the Berlin/Kensington Area , you definitely need to check out Coles Road Brewing“

“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“

“I just got married at Kinsmen Brewing and wow! The food, the space, the stage, the decor....It was an absolute pleasure working with Michele. Everyone was so nice and the day was executed perfectly.

“Nice little place 8 tables or so outside.. My grandson and I shared a medium sundae as a treat price is right ice cream was great approved by my grandson...“

“No matter whether I’ve gone in person or ordered through door dash it has always been an enjoyable place to get food. I've gotten different protein bowls from them one I made myself and their special miso salmon. Both are so good and no matter who makes it, it is delicious and I enjoy getting it. After finishing my meal I am satisfied and the amount of rice mix with everything else is amazing. I also love going to the store and seeing the bowl made in front of me knowing the items are fresh and new everyday. I love this place and enjoy every bite of my bowls“

“Stopped during a long trip for a bathroom break. Only one bathroom here so there was a line. But the staff didn't bother anyone waiting. Wound up getting a coffee ☕️ specialty drink to go.
Worked out fine for us.
Hope they have the donut 🍩 you want, and no line for the bathroom and...enjoy!!!“
