Natural Kitchen 1249 W Main St, Waterbury Fast Food • $

“I’ve been visiting this plaza for almost three years and never thought to enter this place until today. I initially wanted bubble tea and remembered that I saw a flyer of theirs advertising such.

I went in with $10 cash with intention purchase one but left with two, paying with my card as they came it a little over $14.

I got the crème brûlée milk tea with extra boba and peach tea with mango popping boba which the staff recommended to me.

The ordering process, paying and receiving the teas were all within 5 minutes.
The staff were friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere was quiet and inviting.

I am not a fan of raw meat but if I do become one I’ll try this place first.
Until then, this is my new bubble tea spot.

Both drinks were delicious and the ice to drink ratio was perfect.”

McDonald's 45 Thomaston Ave, 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.”

“Bliss Vybz has always had delicious food but I had the pleasure of experiencing the catering services last week and was very pleased! They arrived on time and made sure everything was in place and being appropriately heated before they left. The curried goat and curried chicken were well seasoned and paired well with the white rice. The jerk chicken was authentic, smokey and delicious! The rice and peas and steamed cabbage complimented the meal and soaked up all of the flavors from the the gravies! The salmon bites were the talk of the party! They were so tender and flavorful! The service and attention to detail they provided was outstanding! I definitely recommend them for any event corporate or personal! There is so much more food to try. You will not be disappointed!”

“I went here with a large party last minute no reservations, and they accommodated us. Inside is aesthetically pleasing, they even have an outdoor seating.
Everyone at the table said their food was delicious. I had the stuffed snapper I would go back just for that. Our server was patient, the only problem we had was the waitress kept taking orders from kids. When we asked a few times to not do that. The manager did fix it. I would definitely visit again. Also a plus their kitchen is open late and I think they have a DJ on certain nights”

“Apparently this restaurant owner has no idea the star employee they have in Sabrina. I watched her oversee a very busy drive through, multiple pick up orders, and a busy lobby without pause. She managed keeping kitchen orders while still being absolutely lovely at the register.

If I was in the restaurant buisness, I'd hire her in a minute, and pay her double.”

McDonald's 45 Thomaston Ave, 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 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.”

“The food is nice, freshly made and fries are freshly fried, but I think is overrated. You got to order online and pick it up at friendly’s. It’s like a “secret”, “online” restaurant where they prepare whats in the menu but do not have it in theirs or in their system (Friendly’s). You get one star in service and atmosphere because it doesn’t exist.”
