“The Spot Café truly lives up to its name it hits the spot every time. You can tell there’s real love and care put into the food, from the presentation to the flavor. The cafe is welcoming, making you feel like a regular from the moment you walk in. It may be a small space, but it delivers big on quality and experience. This place is definitely a hidden gem in East Hartford.”

“- Very calming and professional vibe - Answered all the questions I had with ease. - Dottie is very kind and polite I will definitely recommend this shop to everyone.”

“Their chicken is really good, crispy, seasoned well, not too greasy, and priced well for this economy.
I never had bad experiences with them.
Fries could be a little better, but still not bad.”

“That buttered hot dog roll 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 oh.my.gawwwddddd! SO good! And it doesn’t break at the bottom like most hot dog buns do. Service was super fast and all the staff was friendly and looked happy and seemed to be enjoying themselves. Great environment! Will go again!”

“Stopped in at Ginger Root to check it out since it had such good reviews and they did not disappoint! Got general tsos chicken with lo mein and an egg roll. The lo main was super flavorful, the chicken was tender and the egg roll had the perfect crunch! Will be back again!”

“Food was excellent! I had the $10 lunch special which was a half of blackened chicken sandwich on a toasted roll and a half a salad with wonderful red wine vinaigrette
My mother had the eggplant with hot honey !”

“Absolutely delicious! I had lunch there with a friend today and the food was great (honestly, some of the best fries I've ever had)! Service was friendly, fast and just generally really great. I'll definitely be back!”

“At 65 YEARS OLD, THEY ARE STILL AWESOME, MY MOM AND DAD BROUGHT THE FAMILY HERE SINCE 1960'S...”

“Everyone needs to try the Skillet Burrito ASAP! It’s new on the menu, all I needed to see in the description was SMOTHERED IN QUESO lol it was the most delicious burrito I have ever eaten. I will be ordering it every time I go there now. I hope enough people review it so they keep it on the menu! You should try it, you will not be disappointed!”

“You might not be able to sit down and eat here like most places, but the food is pretty darn good. First time customers and I am beyond impressed. Staff was kind and friendly. I ordered a meatball sub and it was great! It actually had meatballs and not the smooshed up patte cat food stuff. It had a garlic twang to it and it was still fricken awesome. I'm a VERY picky eater and I'm also not one for garlic. I'm not sure how the food is made, if it was the sauce or the meatballs but i will tell you it was delicious nonetheless. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! And for better or worse, they don't salt the French fries either. Even the few flavors of ice cream they had was good (I got the vanilla bean).💕😋 Definitely going back there again.”

“Great Service, food is exceptional, very clean.
First time served, one of the best top restaurants you’d ever want to go to!!! no comparison to Romas!!!”

“The daily specials are bargain priced and are very good. His Grinders are excellent, as well as the pizzas and salads. We never have any complaints at Queen. very friendly and efficient staff”

“food is always excellent”

“Hello All. I was on a mission. My wife had a taste for a pound cake, but not just any pound cake. She wanted a pound cake that tasted like her mom used to make. Well, it took some time to scan the internet and read some of the comments at other bakeries and I found myself very disappointed. As I was about to give up, I found Perfect Poundcakes. I read the comments from their customers and I thought I would give them a try. I placed my order online. When I picked up my poundcake I was greeted by a friendly staff that took extreme pride in their product. When I arrived home, my wife instantly recognized the aroma that brought her back to some wonderful memories of her mom. Going forward Perfect Poundcakes will be a part of our family events. Thank you so much and keep up the great work!”

“Will definitely use for any get togethers when I need to bring something - I generally get from Big Y (at a very decent price!). But am SOOO interested in some of the other varieties including another customer who suggested Strawberry Creme Pie and now I want one too! Saw a Boston Creme in the photos - I'm in pie heaven. LOVE the pies I've had already! (tried Lemon Meringue, Peanut Butter and I think the first I had was a chocolate creme?)”

“I've eaten here twice. The food has good flavor and is a good value. Service is fast as well. I've had the jerk chicken ants beef patty both times. I will be back!”

“This was my second visit to The Dutch Pot Restaurant in Miami Gardens Fort Lauderdale, and it won’t be my last! The true gem of this place is the staff. From the moment I walked in, I noticed the genuine, friendly interaction between the staff and customers – no impatience or condescension, just warm and welcoming service. It’s rare to find such a personable atmosphere! The food was, as always, incredible. I had the curried goat, which was perfectly spiced and tender, and the oxtail was rich and flavorful. Both dishes were spot-on! To top it off, we were given a tour of the newly opened, exclusive upstairs dining area (pictures to come!), which looks fantastic. Kudos to the owners for continuously elevating the dining experience here. Overall, this is a fantastic business that deserves to be replicated – amazing food, a welcoming team, and a beautifully designed space. Highly recommend The Dutch Pot to anyone looking for a great meal and even better service!”

“Nick, Thank you for taking care of me and my cousin this past weekend. The pizza & service were worth the drive.. Sincerely, Barkhamsted”

“My favorite best Chinese restaurant . Their dishes are very delicious and fresh. Service is also very good. we will definitely come again.”

“Stopped by for coffee and quick bite with my 11 year old daughter. Food was delicious! Will definitely go back!”

“I have been going to Franks on and off for 15 years. (My father used to lived above the bad in the 1970s but that is a story for another time). This place is quiet and quick service. The staff is also appealing to the eye. I highly recommend.”

“Authentic flavor, friendly and inviting atmosphere and hosts. This was my first time trying a Salvadorian papusa, and I have fallen in love. The combo of savory pork and refried beans pairs beautifully with the light sauerkraut and tomato sauce. The tacos were also good, and the red sauce was delightfully smoky. Very reasonable prices too!”

“best fresh vegetables and very good prices. In addition, a very kind, helpful, and honest staff.”

“Absolutely worth the trip because I live in east hartford.”

“Drove an hour just to visit this place & the drive was worth it! I had the spinach stew with tomato stew & meat & let me tell you chef’s kiss*** it was so bomb I took one to go & on that second plate I tried the ockra stew & it was busssssin 10/10 for me ?”

“Absolutely incredible food, music and service! Kitchen is always open. Come check out the CT Super Open Mic on Thursdays as well as their Monday and Tuesday open mics!”

“Whole belly clams, OMG they were huge and so delicious 😋 and better than I remember!!!! Market price was so reasonable.
I've been gone from CT for over 30 years all I wanted was Mickey's Whole belly clams.”

“Halal food is available for takeout and delivery also via door dash; Uber eats, Grubhub and Postmates. Inside, the Gas station closes at 10 PM and provides breakfast and all other menus the whole day. Great quality of food and relatively inexpensive compared to others”

“Weve been there many times. Always satisfied with the food snd the service. I found them to be very accomidating, when asked for something specisl. Gona get take out from there tonight. YUM! Gary R Tariffville CT”

“Nice chillin spot for friends and family. Late night 🍮”

“Great portions, flavors, and value. Garlic parm wings were crispy and delicious. New ownership.”

“My brother and I ordered general tso's chicken, the chicken itself was wonderful but the sauce didn't really stick to the chicken and was kinda light on flavor. However my Mom had Sweet & Sour Chicken with pork fried rice and my sister had a Pu Pu platter both of which were amazing.”

“The lasagna was delicious. Service was good, the 1 male employee was super kind the others were busy. Not good atmosphere to eat in is dark, dusty and hot. The place looks like an abandoned house”

“A very Nice Quiet Place there is about room for 14 people to eat Also, they have a nice wall that is decorated with artificial plant life. it is a very comfortable relaxed space to sit and eat with a round lounge, couch and table in center and also side tables.”

“I decided to try this local establishment (East Hartford location) after my boyfriend, who is of Irish American ancestry, frequently mentioned it to me. The food was incredibly delicious and authentic. The atmosphere is relaxed, with families and friends enjoying their meals together. The staff members were all very professional, and the value is truly exceptional. I plan to return as often as possible.”

“El Servicio es tremendo,,, la gente son amable y la comida deliciosa..”

“This is my favorite Chinese food spot! The food is delicious and I’ve gone here for years. The family is lovely and I’ve even watched the kids grow up. They were little ones when I started going here and now they’re taking orders on the register. :). Best chicken and broccoli of any spot I’ve gone to!! Absolute fave!! :)”

“Anything vegan is definitely delicious 😋”
