“The staff were very friendly, accommodating and professional. The duck dinner is totally outstanding. The burger and beer special was good. But I found that having two burgers with the sauce and the other accompanying items included on it, made it difficult to eat it without it falling apart, even with cutting it in half. Plus for my preference, there was way too many raw onions on the burger. I did not know that the burger special was different than the House Burger. If I had known that fact, I would have ordered the House Burger. The side dishes should be listed on the menu. Overall, it's a great restaurant and we will go back there again.“

“Came in around 6p on a Sunday so it wasn’t busy. The inside is what you’d expect for similar restaurants; darker ambiance , booths and tables, and outdoor seating as well. We were sat and addressed quickly, placing an order for drinks and an app. We then chose two entrees to share. For an old fashioned, a glass of Prosecco, an egg roll appetizer, a Cobb salad, and a steak sandwich with fries came to about $90 (with tip).

Our waitress was attentive without being invasive; she was quick and friendly .

My only complaint is the sticky table.

We would definitely return

Kid-friendliness: At the right time of day this could be a decent spot for a family to enjoy a meal“

“We love max burger. We've been going here for years but on this trip, we took our 9 month old. We brought peaches for him since he's not eating off the menu yet. And he proceeded to make a huge mess. Our waitress, Molly, was so sweet and said it was totally fine. They're a family restaurant. All of the staff were super sweet to our baby, and it was a really great experience.“

Parking: The parking lot is a very awkward slanted lot with a mix of perpendicular and straight spaces.

Kid-friendliness: Kid's menu!

Wheelchair accessibility: Be careful in the parking lot as it is awkwardly slanted and hilly. Otherwise, you can use the sidewalk right up to the door. Unfortunately, the door *is not* automatic.“

“The Elbow Room is an awesome venue, the food and drinks they have are great and reasonably priced, I'm a big fan of their wings and tacos. I go to the open mic comedy nights on Thursdays, and I throw fun comedy shows/parties in the basement around once a month on Fridays with about 50 people, and everyone always hangs out on the rooftop after now that the weather is warmer. The Elbow Room is a staple of West Hartford and almost everyone knows about it.“
