“We visited Rubini's Full Circle for the first time last week. We have been semi regulars at the owner's breakfast restaurant so figured we'd check it out.The entire restaurant has been completely renovated and looks great. A pub like atmosphere that is welcoming.We came pretty early so it was pretty quiet but did start filling up quickly, once dinner time approached.Our waitress was friendly and attentive without being annoying.I ordered the calamari, which was cooked perfectly. I ordered the fish and chips and my entrée. Healthy portion and also cooked well. I was a tad disappointed with the haddock itself but the breading was appropriately crispy.My husband ordered a large side salad, which was massive and could be a meal on it's own with an added protein, and a burrito.Overall this is probably a do over for an impromtu outing.“

“What used to be a regular local bar, got even better about a year ago. Although I miss the pool table, I think the new changes are great. I always get something different every time I come. The last time, I had a taco salad, and although it seemed a bit small, the flavor was great. The burgers here are large and amazing (a bit "finger-licking" sloppy here and there). For local wings, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE! The beer taps change regularly, and the cocktails are always (dangerously) yummy!“

“Hank's Dairy Bar in Plainfield, CT, is a true gem deserving of a resounding 5-star review. Since 1957, it has been an iconic establishment in the area, eagerly awaited by locals every season. The food is consistently great, with a particular highlight being their delectable soft serve ice cream. The lobster roll is solid, but my personal go-to is their heavenly clam cakes and chowder. The outdoor dining experience on their expansive four-acre property adds a charming touch, making it perfect for families. Whether you're enjoying a meal at the picnic tables or opting for a nostalgic car dining experience, Hank's delivers. The added allure of special events like Backyard Car Cruises and musical guests further enhances the overall experience. For a taste of tradition and a memorable dining outing, Hank's Dairy Bar is the quintessential choice.“

“Just breakfast and things does the job right. The waitresses are very welcoming and quick. The homemade cinnamon raisin bread and corned beef hash are fantastic. I usually go for one of their omelettes however if you really want to treat yourself order up the stuffed french toast! The diner has plenty of seating and the booths are small but cozy. It can get pretty busy here on a weekend mid morning so you may have to wait a few minutes but it's worth it“

“Had Sunday dinner here GREAT food. Server was GREAT. Entree meal was large enough to take home for another lunch.Parking: Flat lot 30-37 spots. Busy.Kid-friendliness: Family place. Kids seemed happy in there.Wheelchair accessibility: Parking lot is flat. Small ramp to restaurant.“

“Matches Tavern is one Foxwood's little known gems. Delicious casual fare at reasonable prices in an elegant, dark wood pub style atmosphere. It is actually across the street from the casino in the down stairs of the Golf Club House. Ariana was our server. Friendly and professional. I had the Chicken and Bacons sandwich with Fries for $16.95. Great tasting & well priced. I highly recommend this place.“

“My husband and I arrived on Thursday. We asked the Hostess, (Andrea) if we could make a reservation for Friday night at 8pm. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make them with her. But, Andrea was a real help and informed us to go online. She promised she'd be there on Friday night. True to her word, Andrea was there. She remembered us and was a real joy! I wish all employees were as pleasant and easy going as Andrea! Foxwoods HighRollersLuxuryLanes is so lucky to her!!! This is a great place!“

“Just came here for shakes, and they were good. The service was really nice. We got good to share and no complaints at all.Vegetarian options: Ask them for vegetarian options. They can replace meat with other things.Parking: In a casino, it's a matter of where you park that will make the walking distance shorter or longer. Best to park near the Tanger Outlet area to make the walking distance shorter.“

“Stopped with friends for breakfast and was pleasantly pleased!!! Our food was hot and cooked to order correctly. Prices are extremely reasonable but most of all the service was fast and very friendly!!! Will definitely be back - Great Job!!❤“

“The one thing that really struck me when I first started going there about six years ago was the multi racial clientele so you get to meet people from all around the world really and almost all of them are really nice. If you are there and you have a chance to meet Pete the owner one thing really likes is people coming up from behind him and just grabbing his shoulders and shaking him and telling him how great a place he has. Believe me he’ll never forget you for it. And if you’re into playing pool this is the place to be, they have one 6’ foot table and 3 9’foot tables and they’re all free to play just make sure you buy at least a beer it’s not a rule but it’s just common courtesy.“

“Not a bad little bar. I got a chance to try the pool tables and I'll admit, with the amount of awards on the wall, I was surprised how the tables were. They were pretty good. I also liked the atmosphere and the company was great. Thanks for a great night, will definitely be back again sometime.“

“First time here and I can't wait to go back. Love the open space with the roomy booths. The service was on point and friendly. The food was delicious. The sandwiches were perfectly cooked and tasty. The prices are beyond reasonable and insight for sore eyes. Can't wait to go back and try what else they have to offer.“

“Riverview Restaurant in Moosup, CT, easily earns four stars, thanks to its standout feature--the great prime rib! The quality and flavor of the prime rib make it a must-try for any meat enthusiast. While there's always room for improvement, the exceptional prime rib experience at Riverview Restaurant solidifies its four-star rating.“

“Easy in for simple breakfast/brunch, with a little spirit, right near the hotel check in desk. A few beer, wine and drink options in case you need a little pick me up drink. Their avocado toast was fresh and delicious. Even had some seasoning on it which is a bright spot with bland New England fare that you may experience from time to time. Overall nice easy going start to a late morning. Staff was friendly. Many options for seating. If you want a view, walk past the entrance bar seating to the left.“

“My sisters and I ate here tonight, and we had an absolutely amazing experience. Our waitress, James, provided amazing service and had a great personality! Not only was the service spectacular, but the overall atmosphere including the music was fantastic! We will be back again.“
