“I was looking for a bakery that makes great birthday cakes and a friend recommended I try delicious bakery . I called and ordered the staff was very helpful and accommodating. When I picked up the cake I was amazed at the variety of fresh pastries and breads . Needless to state but I left with a lot more than a birthday cake . Everything was delicious! I highly recommend this bakery.”
“Wow the food was amazing! I am originally from California and haven’t been able to find a taco place that has flavorful carne asada here in CT. This place is the one! I will definitely come back and have my tacos here. Not only was the food great, customer service was 10/10. I definitely recommend.”
“I went to Shahs Halal Food for the first time today and I got the fish sandwich. It was the best fish sandwich I have ever had. It was so light and fresh and just amazing. I even asked for the Halal beef, bacon bits, and they added it to my fish sandwich. I recommend if you are in Connecticut and can get to Shahs Halal Food. Please stop and get something. It is amazing. I’m probably gonna go back there again for dinner.”

“Stopped in on our way home from DC and had a fantastic dinner - the snow crab was outstanding. Nice, big pieces of meat that slid right out of the shell with virtually no struggle. Good sized shrimp, and the sausage, corn and potato were great too. Super friendly (and fast) service. What a pleasure it was to take a break from our almost 12 hour drive (thanks to traffic and crappy weather) and spend some time relaxing here with good food and great people. I hope we are able to stop in again the next time we are on the road!”
“The best Golden fingers compared to others, it tastes and looks like actual chicken! Egg rolls and fried rice also always fresh and flavorful!! Staff is always friendly and orders always ready on time! Not my fav style for the crab Rangoon or the boneless spare ribs, but also not bad. I just prefer my rangoons more cream cheesy, but these were still really good. Soft center crispy outside perfectly cooked and not too greasy! Had a yummy chive? Flavor!”

“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.”
“the Chase Have McDonald has an amazing manager but the sad part is idk who to blame cause it never fails at this location that my order gets have forgot my egg on breakfast sandwich 5 times. and of course do not notice until I'm already comfy at home. I'm very angry”

“This place is a 10/10 for a sushi lunch. My husband and I sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed martinis and shared 3 lunch entrees for around $50. Our chef and server were both attentive and friendly. The bar has good chill date vibes. There were some patrons having hibachi on the other side of the restaurant and it sounded like a good time.”

“Brazilian Centro Bakery offers a very nice selection of traditional sweet and savory prepared Brazilian foods. I ordered the coxinha and a cheese-filled pastry, the name of which escapes me. They were crazy delicious! The staff was super friendly and helpful in explaining the choices to a non-native Brazilian. Can’t wait to return to try other dishes!”
“9.2.23 we got married at our hometown fair grounds and had Frankie’s cater! It was PERFECTION!! 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!”

“New favorite Dominican spot in Waterbury!! 🇩🇴 Better flavor than Via Al Paraiso. I used to go there all the time for Dominican food, however, this place has better flavor in my opinion (I tried their shrimp mofongo, pernil, and saltfish). Also, Via Al Paraiso is so stingy with their shrimp 🍤 with the shrimp mofongo...this place is NOT!! A much better portion for the money!!
Also,the woman at the counter was so nice!! She let me try some of the food while I was waiting on my mofongo!! 🥰”

“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.”

“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.”

“The food is good but , they need to pay attention to what they doing, how they going to send a chicken burrito bowl order without chicken…. Tienen qué leer los ingredientes de cada orden, ordene un borrito bowl de pollo y me lo enviaron sin carne.😤🤯😤🤯🤯Thanks, but I’m not looking for anything for free; what I wrote was just so you could tell your employees to pay attention to what they’re doing. I won’t stop supporting the restaurant because of this mistake, either.”
