50 Best American Restaurants near New Britain

“I remember the first time I tried this place and honestly I wasn't exactly impressed but I'm glad I gave them another chance because I've been back a few times since and it just seems to somehow get better every time. The burgers are phenomenal and look like how other places make them look in their advertising. Everything on it was fresh and cooked perfectly. The fries are also that great balance of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area.“

“I have been popping in here for a quick beverage and some food after a long work day for about a year. The staff including, Cass, Faith, Courtney, Alaina, Gabrielle, Ed, Brittany, Alexis, Morgan, Eliza, Ashley, P-Nut, Kim, and more that I am sure I'm leaving out a few who are nothing short of exceptional workers and more importantly family/friends. I have had wings here which I am a critic of and I score the bone in honey hots at an 8.2. The burgers are fantastic, my favorite would have to be the Black and Blue Smash, which I'd say is in my top 5 favorite burgers all-time. That is a pretty exclusive list to be on... Get that thing back on the menu! Lol. The beer battered fish tacos are a great meal too. The apps are very good too with the truffle tots being my personal favorite.
This place is a local staple. If you are interested in a good atmosphere with a really satisfying dining experience you should come check this place out. Who knows, you might just find that the family of NBI is next on your reunion invite list!

*update* We had a company Christmas party here. The spread was great and we were treated very well as a large group of about 30 people. Would 100% recommend for a larger event!“

“Just got home from an AMAZING dinner celebrating my father in laws 70th birthday and the 50th wedding anniversary for he and his wife.

“We had dinner here for the first time on Sat, 11/12/22–what a wonderful experience! The staff was friendly and very helpful. We had muscles for our appetizer that were fresh and very tasty. We each had different entrees, one the salmon dish and the other chicken—both were amazing, with each of us saying we’d order our meal again or try the other one next time. Then dessert: one had the s’mores dessert and the other the chocolate bread pudding—we didn’t think we’d have room, but we made room, because both were excellent! Plus the chef said he’d be changing the menu every week—we can’t wait to go back!“

“Went to Dublin with my daughter to get our driver licenses renewed and stumbled upon this little restaurant in the strip center. Nice little place with a very pleasant server.
I ordered a hot latte and my daughter ordered an Iced latte, both were amazing!!! MUCH BETTER THAN Sta**ucks!!! I ordered the Homemade sausage gravy and biscuits. They were extremely good and would definitely order again.
My daughter ordered the pancakes, very light and fluffy 10 out of 10 as far as pancakes go.
No doubt that I would definitely go back for breakfast again.“

“We recently celebrated our son’s graduation party at Gloria Sports & Spirits, and it exceeded every expectation! The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and everything came together perfectly.

A special thank you to Jason, the manager, and Kristy, the event coordinator, who truly went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. They were attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in making our celebration special. Our guests had an amazing time, and we received so many compliments on the venue, the food, and the outstanding service.

We are so grateful to the entire team for helping us create such wonderful memories. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event, I highly recommend Gloria Sports & Spirits. Thank you for making our son’s graduation celebration one we’ll never forget!“

“Megan makes the best egg white, cheese and bacon bagel ever! Great food and great staff!“

“If you’re in the area (or even if you’re not - it’s worth the drive!), The Village Teahouse served a wonderful tea service, complete with all the mini sandwiches and desserts (with gluten free options for everything!). Highly recommend!! Superb selection of teas and very attentive server. 😊“

“So I’ll be honest…I was skeptical to host a 70th birthday dinner party here because of the mixed reviews on the food. However, the location and ambiance was what I was looking for. After expressing my concerns to Dave, he encouraged me to trust him and his staff…I’m glad that I did! We had 19 people and were in the back room. The place was clean and inviting. The flat bread and salad were a great start to the night. We had preselected a menu which consisted of four main entrees to choose from: chicken parm, brisket, crab cakes and chicken risotto. I intentionally asked everyone how their dish was and every person said that they enjoyed their meal (trust me, my family would not just say that). The portions were plentiful. The kids had a few choices from the kids menu and enjoyed theirs as well. The staff were very attentive and pleasant….Dave is quite the jokester :) I would absolutely trust them with another event and look forward to going back for a dinner visit.“

“Never disappointed fast service family of 5 out in 40 mins no issues“

“Best donuts in town 100%“

“very good friendly staff“

“Me and a friend stayed at the cabins down the street. Found this hidden gem our first day camping and decided to have a quick bite to eat throughout the week of our stay. Great food. Great prices. That Sam Addams Summer Ale on draft is 🔥 on a hot day.“

“I've been coming here regularly, and every single time, I leave happy! The food is always amazing, and the staff goes above and beyond to make the experience even better. Consistently excellent service and delicious meals definitely one of my favorite spots!“

“My wife and I stopped in with our dog on Sunday, and they were kind enough to allow us outside seating. Claire was our server and she was very attentive even adding ice cubes to the dogs water and bringing a pup cup for the dog for desert. Harvest Grill is very pet friendly and we will certainly stop back.“

“Service was ok...my chicken was over done and broccoli was under done. But what I wanted to say is I give props to the manager for going above and beyond for help to rectify the situation....thank you! Visited on 7/7 at around 4pm at the one in Hatfield PA...didn't get the manager's name but want him/you to know it was very much appreciated.“

“The watermelon Krush was delicious!“

“The food is good and service as well. But sitting in the bar is too loud. Clearly caters to the golf members and no regard for people who come to dine and are not golfers. The main dining room looks like a banquet hall. All rounds tables and no ambiance at all. They are open to the public for dinning and they need to cater to those ppl too. Happy hour is from3-5? Ppl are at work during those hours and only golfers hanging out can take advantage of those crazy hours. Most restaurants and bars offer happy hour 5-7. Seems they don't want to extend happy hour to too many ppl to take advantage of it.“

“Taylor the best bartender they have!!! Always smiling and know what you’re drinking!!!“

“Great job Kirah…well done!“

“Thank you to the staff Mission BBQ in Warminster PA!! They were very courteous and out going. One of them asked if I was a Veteran and thanked me for my service. The fries were not ready when I received my meal so they brought them to me a minute or two later. The young man also brought a Carrot Cake and a coupon for a sandwich at a later time. There was no need to do this and I am very grateful. This was a my first time having lunch there, I will be back for more. The Brisket, fries and carrot cake were delicious! Thank you!“

“the meal we had was so delicious!!!! can't wait to come again! Kimmy was a doll“

“I was very disappointed that they changed happy hour from 5 to 7 to 4 to 6. Three of my friends had the cancel because they couldn't get in time. Also the best thing on the menu was lettuce wraps an they took it off. Was our favorite place to go but now dont know if we will be back.
Honestly reconsider your happy hours. Everyplace is 4 to 6 an 5 to 7 is what made u unique for working people. An reconsider lettuce wraps. I was friends an did ur grandmother or greatgrandmothers hair till she had moved to Florida
Good luck“

“Always a great meal! One place that the whole family can agree on.“

“To gain a great reputation in the food industry is quite difficult, but I will say that our review here couldn't be any better. Food, service, staff, friendliness, all wrapped up in the Eagle Diner. Zisi is a great host, fine service, great staff, terrific food. You simply couldn't ask for anything more in a diner. Five stars here!“

“Always a good time at Bankers! Everyone is friendly, good food and drinks!“
