16 Best American Restaurants near Willington

“My daughter and I stopped here on our way back from a UConn tour - I’m vegetarian and the Mediterranean pasta was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had - highly recommend!!! My daughter ordered chicken and a side of fries, the fry order was huge for $5! I helped her eat the fries and we both couldn’t put a dent in it! Friendly staff, beautiful sunset view - if we are ever back in the area we will definitely stop back in!“

“good friendly service, delicious food in a clean atmosphere. always look forward to stop here between Boston and new York.“

“5 Stars – A Hidden Gem with Amazing Vibes and Even Better Bartenders!

The Trophy Room in Storrs, CT is hands down one of my favorite spots in town. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a long day or kick off a night out with friends, this place never misses. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between cozy and lively, and the drink selection is always on point.

What really sets Trophy Room apart, though, are the bartenders—especially Olivia and Allison. These two are absolute stars behind the bar. They’re not only incredibly skilled at crafting top-notch cocktails, but they also bring such good energy to the place. Friendly, attentive, and always down for a quick chat or a solid recommendation, they make you feel right at home every time.

Olivia and Allison elevate the whole experience, and honestly, they’re a big reason I keep coming back. If you haven’t checked out Trophy Room yet, do yourself a favor and stop by—just be ready to make it your new go-to spot!“

“I took my family to dinner at Mike’s on Main tonight - my husband, myself, and our very picky 3 year old who is still learning proper restaurant etiquette. Mike, John, and wait staff were so patient with us and went over the top to accommodate our daughter - even going so far as to carving her name into a slice of American cheese because she requested a slice. Thank you so much for your top-tier customer service! We will be back“

“Great food, drinks and service. We'll definitely be back!!“

“I had Abd as my server/bartender today. He honestly made the experience amazing. Helped give us great recommendations for the food and drinks. Made the drinks himself and really just took good care of us. Would definitely recommend this spot! Will be coming back soon!“

“The food was amazing on New years eve“

“There's something special about the old burger stands. And the men and women who work them!! Every time I come to Toms the food is great, service is friendly- regardless of how busy they are, and they are fighting this cold before us all to get there before us so we can have a delicious HOT breakfast or lunch 😋 I can't say enough good things about this classic burger stand“

“I came here last night for the first time after a recommendation and so glad we did cause they did not disappoint. The decor is a little dated however we have the nicest waitress Natasha who made the evening so great. She was very prompt and friendly and really funny. The food portions were a generous size and everything we had was really good. We never once asked for water refills, she just kept them coming. Amazing staff. Amazing food. Will be returning to our new local favorite spot in the very near future and hopefully will get the same amazing waitress.“

“The last few weeksI have ordered fish and chips and 4 large pieces and nicely cooked french fries. 6/17/2026 I ordered the same got 3 pieces the fishwas so dry and cooked too long you couldn't eat around the edges too hard, th french fries were over cooked to some were burnt. this was a take out. this has happened a couple times. then no salad or bread in the order. so we didn't get the whole order. I love there food but and people so we are going to try one more time.“

“Great atmosphere!! Great food and great drinks!! Love coming here!“

“My husband George and I frequently go to our "neighborhood" SPOT in Tolland since it opened. It really feels like a home away from home where you can watch a game, collaborate with colleagues over dinner, have a birthday party or little league celebration. It is a place to go for all members of the family for any occasion. The main menu is thoughtful, and we look forward to the weekly specials which are delicious. Prime rib Thursdays is a favorite as well. They have specials on cocktails and mocktails with special touches like cranberries in the ice, or the chocolate drizzle in the Andes martini with whipped creme and Andes mint crumbles. We have not found anything that was not delicious and in appetizing and filling portions. They have adult homemade ice cream to crave! It has a slightly different ambiance in each corner, the sofa lounge area, the seated family dining area, the sports zone covered in big screen tv's and the bar area where you are treated like family and they remember what you like as soon as you sit down. I love their themed special events that pair delicious and unique appetizers, with bourbon, wine, whiskey while sommeliers and chefs discuss the flavor combinations introducing us to tastes that tantalize your whole palate while sharing the history or culture of what you are enjoying. In addition, they have trivia nights, karaoke, an annual car show in the fall, and other seasonal events. In moderate to mild weather, the outdoor covered area is great for listening to local bands and bringing people together. in a comfortable setting. The costs are comparable to other good restaurants, and well worth the experience. If there is any problem with your order (which can happen everywhere), they quickly remedy it. We appreciate the warm welcome every time we come in from the owner and his staff.“

“As a celiac family, we are SO glad to have a breakfast option within driving distsnce, and it just so happens to have excellent food and service. We have been multiple times, my son has never had an issue with gluten contamination and we have always enjoyed the experience. My kids asked me to leave a review today, so consider this as 3 opinions. 😍“

“Great food friendly service“

“my goodness! still savoring my gorgonzola steak salad from last night... was a special on the menu...served with balsamic dressing...I opted for Bleu cheese dressing instead...I get this everywhere, when possible and WITHOUT A DOUBT THE ABSOLUTE BEST steak gorgonzola salad I have ever had! Steak was cooked to absolute perfect and extremely tasty...as was the house made Bleu cheese. probably the best steak I've ever had. 5 stars hand down! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Hands down one of the best college bars around! The energy here is exactly what you want on a night out at UConn. Great music, packed dance floor, and a fun crowd every time. The drinks are affordable (huge plus for college students), and the bartenders are quick and friendly even when it’s busy.

Perfect spot to go with friends after a long week of classes. Whether you’re there to dance, hang out, or just enjoy the vibe, this place never disappoints. Definitely a go-to bar if you’re in the UConn area!“
