34 Best American Restaurants near Windsor Locks

“My husband and I traveling home to Wisconsin from a family gathering stopped in. Sarah was great friendly and a joy to talk with! My husband and I both had the Hefeweizen (No Limits) on tap and it was very delicious. Met a gentleman who we discussed attending the Great American Beer Fest at the convention center in Denver, Co! Great company and great place to stop when waiting to board your plane home! A must stop??? Kitchen was closed today however previous reviews mentioned it was delicious and next time we are here we will try❤️“

“Debbie is the sweetest. She checked up while I was waiting, eating, etc, while tending the bar. When I confessed I was not a fan of what I ordered, she took it upon herself to make it better in 20 different ways. Thanks, Debbie! And the cook, whose name I did not get.“

“Nice place to get a quick bite while staying at the airport. The rating is specifically because of the servers. The place was busy with eat in and take our orders. The two bartenders/servers were so pleasant and attentive even though they were crazy busy.“

“Blackboard is an amazing bar! The bartenders, bouncers, and staff always make you feel welcome and safe… I've never felt safer at a bar.“

“Great bar and dining service within Double Tree Hotel. When I'm in town, I get the standby chicken Cali sandwich which is always tasty and healthy. The bartender is attentive, as are the servers. Never a let down when I travel here. Good people.“

“We dined at the Black Bear Saloon before a cross country flight home, with our 4 month old. The atmosphere was warm, inviting and clean. Our server Brent is what made me want to write a review though, above all. He helped us efficiently and kindly. Gave us time to settle in and look at the menu but also came back quickly in case we had a flight moving soon. Our entire lunch experience, my husband and I could not help but notice how attentively and genuinely, Brent was helping over 20 different people and tables, without even needing a notepad for orders. This is a special kind of teammate and staff member, so I hope Black Bear’s leadership gets to notice and recognize Brent’s hard work. We left for our flight, well fed, happier and much less anxious for our flight, thanks to Brent’s courteous service. Thank you all for the lovely meal today. ( Nice Plus for beer lovers: fantastic variety of local and familiar options across draft, can and bottle.) They also had a full bar and several TV’s for the sport lover’s viewing pleasure.

Vegetarian options: Cheesey and salad alternatives for vego/ but more so pescatarian friendly.

Kid-friendliness: They kindly brought us hot water to warm our infant’s formula bottle and the entire vibe was highly accomodating.“

“WOW! What a super cool place! There are more TVs with every sport imaginable on in this place. I’ve never seen a sports bar of this magnitude besides the ESPN Zone in Manhattan. ???
This place is absolutely insane and the food, menu and service are all great!“

“The good: Very good Quesadilla and salad bar. Broccoli cheese soup ok as always. The bad: Ordered 9oz wine vs 6oz. Only gave 8oz. And it wasn't happy hr. Yes I have measure glass w me. Checked it at home. Best just to order 6oz I guess. Has happened before. So checked“

“Great food can’t show a picture“

“Been going here for over a decade, and Harvest remains the best breakfast/brunch/bakery in the area. They have fresh baked items in the bakery case daily that are priced reasonably, and their scones are THE BEST with great flavor and spot-on texture. Dining in, I always enjoy the Farmer's Benedict with a side of fresh baked sourdough toast. I prefer my eggs poached hard, and they gladly accommodate this request. On top of the most amazing food, the friendly staff, great service, and a cozy atmosphere makes every experience dining in a pleasure!“

“Best kept secret in CT. Outstanding food and service with good pricing, with a 7 day a week happy hour. Every server is excellent, Oscar is a great guy. I would like to give it 6 starts!“

“Don't Forget about having Lunch at Tucker's Restaurant! Today I had a Wonderful Meal that consisted of Homemade New England Clam Chowder for starters. Then for my Main Meal, I had their Cordon Blue with famous Roasted Red Pepper Sauce. The Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Broccoli, and Cauliflower, while prepared simply tasted Fresh and Delicious. Quick, Friendly Service, and a Beautiful Dining Room, this is Upscale Dining at an Affordable Price! You will feel like part of the Anderson Family once you try them out!“

“We had an incredible dining experience while celebrating our anniversary tonight. It was our first time visiting and certainly won’t be the last. We had a table outside and our server, Eric, mentioned it was one of the best in the house. We couldn’t agree more as it was a beautiful setting and view. Eric was wonderful - so attentive. Our meals were delicious, we had the lobster pasta and stuffed shrimp, then ended our night with a champagne toast and dessert on the house, an amazing touch of thoughtfulness and hospitality. Exceptional service. Thank you for making our special occasion even more special! We will 100% be back!“

“A fantastic staff, great food and drinks. Tommy is a caring owner and Christine is the best manager there is. Always has great entertainment and Julie is the perfect bartender. When we go there we always feel like family.“

“Swanky restaurant serving American fare. The food is good but a bit over-priced for what you are getting. Good selection of local craft beer, but pricey.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu and provide a placemat with activities upon request.“

“We are from Rhode Island and were in the area to visit Six Flags. Found Marks Restaurant using Google maps for breakfast near me. The food was excellent. The homemade bread was even better. Probably not a common comment, but my view of the kitchen from the register it’s a very clean and neat setup. I’ve worked in foodservice delivery and have always viewed restaurants from back of house which influenced my decision to eat there. I recommend Marks and will be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“had a lovely breakfast there on Good Friday. Warm friendly service. Food was delicious and worth the wait. The link sausage was amazing!!“

“GREAT FOOD, FAST SERVICE!“

“My favorite spot to hang out. Been around a long time, very consistent.“

“We booked The Tavern for our October 2021 wedding right before the pandemic hit. Throughout the entire planning process and hundreds of questions, Jasmine was always readily available via email or text up until wedding day (even when we became date twins). Everything came out beautiful, the set up for dinner and our ceremony was perfect! The grounds were perfect for our pictures. Everyone loved the appetizers during cocktail hour and our cake was delicious. We had a few mishaps during our dinner, but we didn’t let that fog the happiest day of our lives. Jasmine also quickly took action and made things right. They will likely be my go-to for other events because ours was greatly executed with the help of my in-laws, Lynne (sorry if I spelled it wrong), and Jasmine. My favorite thing about having them as our venue was that we didn’t have to clean up anything or set up anything. Lynne made sure things were arranged accordingly and brought my vision to life. Even when we had to create a back up plan because of weather Jasmine and Lynne helped to calm my nerves about the last minute changes.“

“Visited here twice this week as I am dog sitting near by. Great beer selection, nice atmosphere, lots of tvs!! First visit uneventful. Good service. Very friendly, even though quite busy! 2 days later...went back. Different bar tenders. Service was slower. Needed to hunt them down. Seemed to be more friendly to "regulars". Ordered a crispy chicken sandwich. Came grilled, not crispy. Realized it after a few bites so didn't send it back. Just disappointed. Friendly patrons!! I'd go back. Just a bit disappointed.“

“First, I can’t believe it took us this long to get to this restaurant but I’m so glad we finally did. From the moment we walked in and were greeted by the hostess, I was impressed immediately. Such a warm welcome that felt so genuine, and then immediately, the owner came over to say hello. We were offered a choice of a beautiful window seat or outside dining. Our server, Sean, was just perfect…that awesome balance of friendly, engaging, funny, enjoyable yet not at all intrusive. He made for a fantastic time tonight. Sean was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and specials, answered questions easily and helped us decide on wine, dinner and dessert choices. Everything was outstanding…plentiful & so delicious. The ambiance was just right. We had a wonderful dining experience. It’s so rare these days to have everything be exactly as you hoped…but that was our dinner tonight at La Notte Waterside Grille. Well done! Thank you!“

“We had a celebration of life at Copper Hill for my brother. The food was amazing, so many people said the food was fantastic. The atmosphere and the staff were wonderful.I can't say enough about the service and about the Owner Kristin, She made sure that everything was all set and exactly what I had asked for. I would recommend them for any kind of gathering big or small. We will definitely be using them again in the future. Extremely reasonable pricing as well. Thank you so much to Kristin and all of the staff for making a very difficult day stress-free ❤️“
