“I have eaten at Sultan‘s multiple times and brought friends. It is hard to overestimate the quality of the food. But if you like Turkish food, then this is the place for you. I would also like to shout out Oguzhan, Who has been my server the last few times I’ve eaten there. If you have ever traveled in Europe and eaten in the better restaurants, you understand that waiters take the job seriously. That is what the service is like at Sultan. Oguzhan in particular is friendly accommodating and very professional. The only criticism I have of this place is that their wine list does not do justice to their food. They should kick that up a notch. But I will look forward to going back regardless”

McDonald's 45 Thomaston Avenue, Waterbury Fast Food • $

“I entered the establishment with great haste as I eagerly anticipated my lemonade and double cheeseburger. Despite the fact that Waterbury is often the subject of unfair criticism, this particular McDonald’s far exceeds expectations and certainly deserves more than its current four-star rating.
From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with prompt and professional service. The staff demonstrated both efficiency and courtesy, ensuring that my order was prepared accurately and delivered in a timely manner. My lemonade was refreshingly crisp, and the double cheeseburger was prepared to perfection—hot, flavorful, and assembled with remarkable attention to detail.
What impressed me most was the establishment’s commitment to maintaining a clean and welcoming environment, a quality that is too often overlooked in fast-food dining. The atmosphere was pleasant, the service was exemplary, and the overall experience was unexpectedly refined for a quick meal.
In an era where customer service can be inconsistent, this McDonald’s serves as a shining example of operational excellence. I departed thoroughly satisfied and would not hesitate to return. Five stars without reservation.”

I purposely brought an empty suitcase for the plane so I could bring some home.He thought I was crazy. I did an internet search & found this hidden gem. Its a little neighborhood bakery that smells heavenly when you walk in. There are a couple of 15min parking spots by the front entrance. The place is clean. The staff are lovely. I am overjoyed. Here's a picture of the rolls and one of their original pasteis de nata--so good. Not super sweet; just right! We also got a sausage roll but we haven't tried that yet. You have got to go here!”

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude and admiration for an exceptional individual who has truly revolutionized my trading experience. Mrs. Beth Abrams, a highly skilled and professional broker manager, has surpassed all expectations with her extraordinary abilities. In my quest for a trusted broker assistant or manager, I have scoured the online landscape, but no one comes close to her unmatched expertise. Witnessing my first successful withdrawal of $34,000 in less than a week was a moment of revelation. It became abundantly clear that Mrs. Abrams possesses a level of skill that is unparalleled in the industry. Her astute accuracy and meticulous attention to detail have earned her a remarkable reputation. Rest assured, there is no other trader online who can deliver such consistently sound and accurate results.”

Everyone was blown away when they found out that’s what we were having for food, so fun, and who doesn’t love hot dog and burgers (especially FRANKIE’s)?! There was only a couple cooks/servers and MAN OH MAN did they crank it all out! We had around 160 people and they had a line as soon as the food was out, serving up all the goods in such a timely manor. They cooked and served for about 3 hours.. it worked out SO well, many had 2nds and 3rds, plus we had left overs 😍. Everyone was RAVING! we couldn’t have had it any better, Thank you guys SO much!”

“What makes a Restaurant/Pub truly 5 star? Its not only the food,drinks and atmosphere, I think it starts most importantly with the owners and staff. This place has all of it. The food is always great (as are the drinks I hear, but I dont drink) But I can tell you that the staff and owners are even better. They truly care about the customer and they will go out of they're way to fix any issues and make sure every one is taken care of which unfortunately is a total rarity these days. Come give them a try. You will continue to come back.”
