“I visited the Cajun Crab in Wallingford Ct and let me tell you… as soon as you walk in you get smacked with this amazing aroma of seafood. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. They have tables for you to dine in. The food alone was thebomb.com. I got an order of 1/2lb shrimp 1/2lb crab legs Lobster tail potatoes corn and I ordered extra eggs with the butter garlic sauce. Let’s just say me and my husband tore it up. It was sooooo good and I highly recommend it. I paid about 45$-50$ because I ordered more boiled eggs but it’s worth every dollar“

“I went to Southern Dishes, Seafood, & Desserts in Meriden today. When I say they truly have southern soul food, it’s an understatement. The food was definitely well seasoned, chicken falls off the bone, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious!“

“*update: Bar Experience. The bar was very well equipped, the bartender ( Alex) was very attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. Carlos made sure everyone was tended and had what they needed. Great teamwork behind the bar. The food Experience at the bar matched that of the dining room experience. The bar and restaurant was busy but Alex, Carlos and all of the staff hustled and the food was hot, tasted wonderful and of course left me wanting desert. If you have not visited this establishment, you are missing out. Everything from their service, their extensive drink menu, their delicious "tapas", their creative specials, their daily menu to their tray of deserts is an experience. Come on by, I promise you will not be disappointed. Check out the updated Bar Experience pictures. A hidden Gem in downtown Southington. This is our second visit here and we are absolutely in love with this restaurant. From its eclectic decor, super attentive staff to its fabulously fantastic tasting tapas and entrees....where do I truly begin. The owners ( Rob, is always stopping by to say hello and check in) are visible and make you feel welcomed, my waitress Alyssa was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was delicious. The pictures below do no justice to the flavors that pop as you are eating them. You can't wait to come back. Oh I almost forgot....the drinks....the best Sangrias!!!! Yes! Sangrias...Sangrias!! You must stop by.“

“Always a great meal with good company, my favorite local go-to.“

“I just had the fried shrimp platter- what a treat! It was a hearty sized meal that was really delicious! I would also highly recommend the lobster roll that is over stuffed, exceptionally tasty and the best deal around! I’m never disappointed when I dine at Dino’s!!“

“great service and better food“

“Today I had a flounder fish sandwich, and it was awesome. Taste fresh! Before that few weeks ago had a grilled Caesar salad. I added feta cheese. It was the best grilled chicken Caesar salad I had in years. Keep up the good work👍🏽👌“

“I have been going to Aldo’s for many years and think it’s time I left a review. Service - always 10/10, can never do enough for you. Value for money - 10/10. Everything is reasonably priced and the quality is unreal. I’ve probably tried everything on the menu but today I went for the Sunday dinner. Why would you get a roast at an Italian you may wonder, well let me tell you, I am the biggest roast critique as I am pretty good at them myself, but Aldo’s roast is the reason you should get a roast at an Italian. Beef, pink and tender, Yorkshire, fluffy and crispy, mash, buttery and smooth, roasts, caramelised and fluffy, veg, seasoned to perfection, all topped off with a thick shiny gravy. Cannot wait to be back next week for another round. P.S always get the little meatballs as a starter as they are THE tastiest things in the world.“

“Delicious food! Great service!“

“always good! split pea soup and Italian wedding soup are excellent. seafood always fresh and cooked to perfection! pretty much anything you order will be pleasing to your palate!“

“Last week my family and i had dinner at Flair which is one of our favorite restaurants and Hector the owner told us his family bought Fratellis. We said we would come in this week snd try out the new restaurant. We had told Hector the we loved clams casino and he remembered and even though they were not on the menu he brought some to us from Flair. They were excellent. We also had the best chicken dish ever which was called chicken fratellis. It was very obvious that Hector and his family bent over backwards to ensure our experience was amazing and.......it was. We highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to have a fabulous meal and feel that you are appreciated. Thank again“

“Best Chinese Food in Meriden“

“We ate at Supreme Seafood Restaurant for the first time on 9/14/25. Their fried shrimps and steak fries (full portions) were delicious! Their shrimps were large and perfectly cooked; and the steak fries were cooked to perfection and well seasoned!“

“Ordered the fried fish & Mac & cheese at Black Wall Street now I’m hooked . Food was seasoned right , great portions & served with a smile 😄 I can’t wait to try the other items on the menu . Just Amazing food from a great local family. 👑“

“I can’t decide what’s better.. the food or the customer service.“

“We had dinner tonight at Nikki and Frankie's on Route 80 on the recommendation of a friend.. the eggplant was fantastic and made the right way the good old-fashioned Italian way.. the meatballs were legit the sauce was delish and couldn't be any fresher... we were welcomed like we were walking into aunties dining room and the place was clean as a whistle.. A must go to !“

“So far, I’ve only had the chicken and broccoli which is very good, but I have to say the real star out of the two items I ordered was the hot and sour soup! They’re hot and Sour soup is the best I’ve had in the area hands-down however it is very spicy so if you don’t want it spicy, ask them to alter it. Update I tried the curry shrimp and it was the best curry shrimp dish of any Chinese food establishment I’ve ever been to.“

“I really don’t post reviews but this food was soooo good I have to. I’m a woman raised by a Southern Belle who cooked, catered and was well-known in the food arena. I had fried chicken, collard greens and potato salad. Closest meal I’ve ever had to my mother’s cooking. So well cooked. Thank you for a wonderful Sunday dinner. Hats off to the Chef! We will be back. #lifetimecustomer“

“It's difficult for me to eat a meatball parmigiana grinder and give it 5 stars. Today is the day I do so. Absolutely delicious!
The staff was friendly and professional, the service was swift, and the food was excellent.
I'll do a follow-up review when I try their pizza and other menu items.“

“This place has the BEST mac & cheese!! So much so that it was my first pregnancy craving last year. 😂 super creamy, flavorful, and a huge portion that lasts me at least 2 meals!!“

“My first time here was a month ago having dinner in the steakhouse! If I could give 10 stars for the food, servers and atmosphere I would have. Last night we returned to dine in the tavern, food was absolutely delicious, Mariah our server greeted us with a friendly warm smile that she never lost each time she came to our table. We will be back very soon to sit on the balcony this time ! CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!!“

“The pizza is the best ever. The sauce is so sweet and they do not scrimp on toppings. We always enjoy getting a large to have leftovers the next day. Keep up the good work and we certainly will be ordering over and over. The trip from Bethany is so worth it .“
