“The Sunday brunch was really good. We had the Steakhouse Benedicts and they were cooked perfectly. We chose to pay $12 more for champagne, mimosa, and a dessert. Glad we did! We'll be back soon.”
“I love it here- Food is excellent. But it was super busy and only (one) waiter is unexceptional. We waited so long to put in an order…. and there were so many dirty tables. And people waiting on checks etc.”
“Found this gem when using Google to find a nearby sushi restaurant. Very nice staff, friendly and fast service. Food was very good. The kimchi tofu soup was a pleasant surprise to try, will definitely be getting that again. I love Boba tea, didn't dissapoint. Had the spring rolls for appetizer, crispy and flavorful. Tried our favorite classics spicy tuna and shrimp tempura, very happy with our experience. will be coming back. Don't forget your Sake!”
“First timer, heard so many good reviews and did not disappoint!! Our waitress was wonderful and attentive. They gave our appetizer to the wrong table in error and the owner came right over and gave us another on the house. Food was delicious. And ate every bit. A+ and will definitely be back and recommend! The jazz band was fabulous!! We enjoyed our night out!”
“Great place to hang out, even if your not into Beer. They have some amazing mixed drinks! There is something always happening there is seems. Definitley a must-see if visiting Manchester.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“One of the nicest breweries in the state! The atmosphere is top-notch and their food selection is delicious. Loved the presentation for their flights. You scan can the QR code menu at your table, place your order and check out digitally. And they bring it right up to you, wherever you're seated. At most other places this might seem impersonal, but the staff goes above and beyond to make sure you have what you need. Can't wait to come back.”
“This was my second time at Elicit Brewing. First time I was here was with Yelp Elite crew and that day, I knew I had to come back and bring my friends.I came by on March 16, 2023 with a group of friends. We all agreed with this sentiment.AMBIENCE: The ambience is electrifying. Everyone is enjoying themselves. I loved the set out of plenty of sitting in the large area and then the sofas on the other side. Its perfect for large groups.BEER & FOOD: The drinks variety are plentiful. There is a beer for everyone. I love their prices as I have gone to many brewery and the beer prices are much balanced here. On this day they even have beers at $3 dollars. So if you are on a budget, you have choices. I have to talk about the food. I have to say that yes its mainly bar food but OMG everything is done RIGHT. I mean it. Everyone in my group agreed that the choices were great and quality was amazing. We were extremely surprised with their eggplant fries which some in the group don’t like eggplants and were LIKE WHAT?? Yes they loved it. We had the following items in their menu; sweet potatoes waffles; Philly eggrolls; chicken bites, eggplant fries, wings, sweet heat.EVENT: On this day they had live music on the down stairs and DJ upstairs. I love them both. We left almost at 1am after dancing and singing with strangers that were all there to have fun. I love that they had plenty of security presence everywhere. This is highly important to me and it gave me a sense of safety and responsibility from the staff. My friends all loved it and thought the only bad thing is how far they are from us.STAFF and ORDERING: Here I thought they had excellent ordering system and process. They have a great set up with at least 6 cashier registers to dispense your drink orders. On the other side they have about 2 registers for food ordering. Everything is very modern and easy to order. You get a buzzer, get a table and then pick up your food a few minutes later.So come on over and experience what a great brewery looks like. Loved every minute here and hope to be back soon.”
“An absolute gem on the main drag in Manchester (not the mall area!) We came in at 5:30 on a Friday and we’re greeted right away. The drinks we tried were both fantastic. We ordered the Brussels sprouts app (my wife loves them, me not so much) and ended up cleaning that plate. We both did salads for dinner. Steak for the wife and I grabbed the cheeseburger salad and some wedge fries. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious. Dinner for two with an app and two drinks was priced well. The server was polite and timed her table visits just right. Don’t sleep on this one.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“We love Crumbl Cookies! We check every Monday for the flavors, and then every Friday night we have a cookie tasting night. The best part is they are just as soft and delicious the next morning for breakfast.”
“We've gone a couple times and absolutely love it. The choice of spice level is great and the service is fast and friendly. Very clean restaurant amd we will absolutely be coming here as our go to Indian restaurant.”
“The food and the service was good. Wait staff was attentive and pleasant. Food was warm and came out quickly. Environment was a little loud but the place was packed so that's a good sign. Definitely will be coming here again.”
“Amazing food and people. Loved fresh spring rolls, drunken noodles, orange chicken, dumplings. Everything was delicious!! Server was very nice too! We had larb tofu first time, very different and yummy!!”
“This is one of my favorite places!! The food and drinks are amazing — the chopped salad is my go-to! They have tons of classes for all ages on top of being able to pop in and paint something any day of the week. They also have a small business market one weekend a month May-October with tons of awesome small businesses including jewelry, pottery, floral designs, stickers, paintings, soaps, teas and tinctures, permanent jewelry, clothing, candles and so much more. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Firestone. It’s one of a kind!!!♥️”
“I went to this place a few weeks back, and I'm only getting to post about it now. I can't recommend this place enough! I ordered the one meat combo with brisket, cornbread, and baked BBQ means. It was all fantastic! The brisket was so tender that sometimes forking it alone would have it come apart. One bite filled my mouth with heavenly smokey meaty flavor. This place does BBQ brisket the right way, and it's a higher quality brisket than other well known BBQ spots nearby. The cornbread was crumbly and delicious. Exactly what you'd want out of cornbread, nothing more to say here! The beans were savory and satisfying and cooked just right. They paired very nicely with my brisket. I made sure to dump all the tiny tender leftover pieces of brisket into the beans. What a delicious combo that was! If you want to impress your friends with a great takeout BBQ place, this is the spot. It's worth the ride. For a takeout place it really has the right vibe. Soulful music playing, open kitchen setup so you know what you're getting, friendly customer service! The only thing I'd love to see from this place is some additional sauces. Although the quality of meat is so great, no sauce is required, but it's always nice to have on the side. Something spicy would pair really well with this savory tender smokey brisket. The BBQ sauce that they do have is delicious though.”
“The Sunday brunch was really good. We had the Steakhouse Benedicts and they were cooked perfectly. We chose to pay $12 more for champagne, mimosa, and a dessert. Glad we did! We'll be back soon.”
“Great diner, unique food and wasn't super crowded on the weekend like other places because it's out of the way. Food was both cheap and delicious. Would definitely eat here again.”
“Deciding what to eat is the only problem you will have here!!! Start to finish was excellent, including service. It is not your typical "breakfast place" A very unique delicious menu. can not wait to go back.”
“I love it here- Food is excellent. But it was super busy and only (one) waiter is unexceptional. We waited so long to put in an order…. and there were so many dirty tables. And people waiting on checks etc.”
“My favorite part was the interior. It's got these really cool Cafe vibes. I just stopped in for a small cup of coffee and it was really good. Definitely will go back next time I'm in the area.”

“Have gone twice now and both times have been awesome! First time I tried the steak burrito and second time the carnitas rice bowl. Both had great flavor. The restaurant is like Moe's or Chipotle but has way more options and toppings to choose from. Definitely recommend!”
“The English Toffee is my favorite. Highly recommend. Customer service is great. I had a minor issue once and it was taken care of promptly. I will be a longtime customer.”
“Tried them today for first time. Waitress was super friendly. The salted caramel flavored coffee was good. Their home fries are outstanding. I ordered a steak & cheese omelette with no peppers. It came out with peppers but they remade it quickly and gave me more home fries. The whole experience was good. Would definitely go back.”
“Cannot say enough good things about The Hollow. Whether you are a golfer or not the restaurant should be added to your regular rotation. The food is top notch, everything on the menu is fantastic. My favorites are the loaded potato chips and the Brit burger. The staff is friendly, the drinks are perfect and everything is reasonably priced (especially here in 2022). Did i mention the view from the patio is beautiful? This restaurant is a must taste!”
“Love the whole experience, the services, our dinners, and the ambiance. Will definitely be coming back.Parking: Right next to Dave & Busters and close by the mall but the restaurant is in its own location, not at the mall at all.”
Online Reservation Available
“I have tried most of the menu items and loved each of them. Highly recommend to have some Desi Chinese and authentic Bengali food. My fav were beef tihari, beef aloor chop, beef haleem, kalo beef bhuna, Hakka Chinese noodles, Thai soup, chicken wontons, chicken roast, chicken biryani, chicken tikka masala. Keep up the good work with authentic delicious menus.”
“Best pizza in Manchester hands down. We have ordered just about every type of food off the menu and everything is always awesome with great portions. Thank you for your great customer service and even better food.”

“Love the food. They care about their customers especially if they have a peanut allergy. We love eating here and they always take care of us. It's a clean, well kept restaurant and the food is delicious ? ?”
“Our servers were terrific. One was in training. A real turnoff, though, was the fact that certain people were not made to pull back their hair. One sat us, playing with her long hair, and the other one went around checking each table to see if we were doing ok. All the other servers, sitters, bar tenders, and bus people did their hair back. These two need to be watched. I'm pretty sure in some states it's part of a law. I would like you to speak to them. Everything else was fine. We will return but next time I will ask to see a manager.”
“They brought our food first before our soup and salad, we asked for the manager it took a long time we walked out this was the second time I had this experience in this place The service here is not good. We went back there again in the middle of September of 2021, this time we got a better service. We are back in November of 2022 and service is much better. In March 2024 is all good”
“The best food you can eat, I recommend this restaurant to anybody better than any other restaurant Mexican restaurant. They take really good care of you. The food is awesome and the quality is great. The restaurant is super clean and when they bring the food out is a lot of food I give them 100 stars and every time I go and eat, I love my food hot, and they bring you food . Can and eat there .”
“The pizza and marinara was delicious, the grilled chicken Cesar salad, not so much. Not sure how they are prepared but, it looked and tasted like it was sitting around. Will try again another day.”
“Went for a quick bite today at lunch at the new Farmington location. We ordered Pork Carnitas Tacos for takeout and they were fresh and delicious. Looking forward to trying more items.”
“Great value for the money. Portion sizes when it comes to slices are larger than most other pizza joints. Flavors are on point. My three year old loves the cheese slices and totally eats 2 slices on Fridays as a treat after a whole week of eating regular food. I love that I can get what toppings I want on my slices. Great joint, unpretentious, consistent with great hours. Parking is my only concern as there is not an abundance of it.”
“Casual yet elegant atmosphere. Top level service. Food excellent in all respects. Preparation and presentation. Amazing value for the portion size. Definitely a go to establishment.”
“my god! the food was excellent! its funny they said their prices increased unlike everyone else they increased .50cents on most of their dishes! I mean I think we can handle an increase like that! over all food is great I will keep going there!”
“Absolutely one of the best, most affordable, and most delicious place around. I had the shrimp scampi, it was excellent. If you don't want to leave after an dinner broke, Olive Garden is your choice. Five stars always.”
“AMAZING!!! As a former chef, I appreciate food professionally cooked, but with a homemade flavor! The attitude of the staff is always welcoming and gracious. And women rule this kitchen!! Not to mention, the reasonable prices and hefty serving sizes! What's not to love?!”
“Ordered food New Year's Eve, today. Steak and chicken teriyaki were so over cooked and dry. Crab rangoon, most had very little filling. Lomein had clearly been there for a long time. Will never order from there again. 2/10/24, I tried this place again. I arrived there at 12:20 pm. A Saturday. Was surprised that the chicken and beef were tender and not dried out. Lomein was good, shrimp was tender. I suspect that it may be because it was early in the day. Crab ragoon could always use more filling. Was pleasantly surprised. Enjoyed everything. And it was my 60 something birthday.”
“We chose this restaurant because it is dog friendly and we had our dogs with us. It was great. The food was delicious and atmosphere inviting with the autumnal decorations.”
“My friends and i have been coming here for years. My daughter has been included!! We love the food and the people!!! Very sweet and family friendly!!! Thank you Mea and family for the service!!!”

“Most of the time a good experience. Today this location burned my bagel . i asked 4 a replacement and they gave me half. The manager gave me dirty looks. They charged me $2 for cream cheese. Bad customer service.”
“I don’t think the night crew & Estrella really get the credit they deserve. They’ve all been pretty nice to me every time I go there. There’s usually a little bit of tension w/ doordasher’s at restaurants but I always felt welcome going there. ???”

“From walking into the room until the time I left this place was amazing. The people that worked the bar to the whole vibe. If you want a good beer with great people you go here. If I get back to CT. Again I will hit this place.”

“"When the promise is broken, you go on living But it steals something from down in your soul" (Bruce Springsteen) If the name of your business promises "Giant Grinders", well you better damn deliver on that promise, right? You'll get no broken promises from CJ's Pizza and Giant Grinders, because their grinders sure do deliver on your expectations. They have 25 different grinders that truly are GIANT and sold in half ($9ish) or whole ($17-$19ish) sizes. Grinders are served with Lettuce, Tomatoes and Cheese, with Peppers and Onions by request. I stopped by for two "half sized" grinders yesterday, a Giant Ham and Provolone with lettuce, tomato, and onions, and an equally Giant Italian Combo with lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, and jalapenos. The portions were huge. The half grinders are quite big and are piled very high with the goods, so a half of the half will be enough for a great meal. Our two sandwiches ran around $23 after the extras and tax, but we are getting 4 meals out of that $23. They also sell pizzas and some very nice salad varieties and pasta dinners with sausage and meatballs. It's a very nice old school pizza/grinder joint and the folks I interacted with were super friendly and welcoming.”

“Manchester is my home town but I live 2000 miles away, but e when I return home I try to hit Shady Glen. SG is renown for its cheeseburgers and ice cream. Those are completely great choices, for sure, but I go down-menu for a scallop platter or whole belly clams. I get their fries and Cole slaw whenever I can. My mom accompanied me this trip, and just ordered French fries and Cole slaw, with a half-gallon of chocolate chip ice cream. I can't argue with those selections. Perfect. I got a hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip, scratching a childhood era itch. I love this place.”
“An absolute gem on the main drag in Manchester (not the mall area!) We came in at 5:30 on a Friday and we’re greeted right away. The drinks we tried were both fantastic.

“My wife and I have been going here since we started dating 8 years ago. It's not a big place, but the food they serve is absolutely top tier. I'd say it's a hidden gem, but everytime I go there I see someone I know from highschool or a previous employer. It appears it's a well known fact that there's no where else to get better sushi in the Manchester area. Bigger and fancier places have come and gone, but Hana stands because of the quality and care they put into each meal. If you haven't tried them, I promise you're missing out.”
“We chose this restaurant because it is dog friendly and we had our dogs with us. It was great. The food was delicious and atmosphere inviting with the autumnal decorations.”
“We've done dine-in and pick-up at the Manchester, CT location multiple times. We love this place. The food is consistently delicious no matter what is ordered or how it's ordered. I love dining in because it's so bright with natural light, and it smells amazing as only Italian pizzerias can. The service is friendly whether it's extremely busy or you're lucky enough to catch them at a time when it's light service.Orders can be made online or over the phone for pick-up. They have an app too, with coupons. Very convenient.”
“My friends and i have been coming here for years. My daughter has been included!! We love the food and the people!!! Very sweet and family friendly!!! Thank you Mea and family for the service!!!”
“Love going to this well-established neighborhood bar/Italian restaurant. I live fairly close by. I treat myself once or twice a month here. I absolutely love the service, food and portion size. I eat my meal, and always have a take out portion for two more meals. The booths are roomy, and don't get me started on how good the mini baguette rolls are. Readers GO HERE. The bar side is always HOPPING! I may sit in there next time. Watch out!”
“Great new bengali restaurant in the Manchester area! Haven’t really been disappointed with anything that I’ve order from here. Love their kebab over rice or the chicken tikka over rice! Even their fusion grinders are delicious. Definitely worth a visit if your looking to try some bengali food”
“*Don't be afraid to try new things!* This food is delicious and after years of my husband eating it for lunch, I finally caved and tried it myself. No longer will I have boring lunches on Fridays.”
“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM lmao. They have the best blizzards and ice cream for soft serve and the hot food isn't bad, and prices are fair considering the economy today! I have been coming to this dq for along time and don't plan on stopping anytime soon lol. The service is also really good here too so thank you for all your hard work everyone kepp it up.”
“The best bartender Jayla!! Great atmosphere at the bar! Food was so good! Great portions! We will be back for sure! The peanut butter cup martini so good!! Highly recommend Joeys Garlics!”
“Great little restaurant! The food was delicious, the service was good, and the food came out so quickly. It was a great experience and I will definitely be going back.”
“I ran out of ingredients to make a smoothie at home and boy am I so glad I did! I stopped in before work and got the most delicious smoothie with strawberries, blueberries and banana with added protein. I will be back!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“This was honestly the best experience I've had at a fast food spot - the service was second to none! Genuinely helpful employees who went out of their way to take care of us. We'll be back!”
“Good casual dining restaurant focused on noodle dishes. I ate here a couple different times. I really liked the zoodle based dishes.Dietary restrictions: Staff was able to accommodate some food allergies for a family member that ate with me, specifically they made recommendations to help avoid gluten allergy and soy allergy.”
“This is a brand new Starbucks and it's absolutely gorgeous! So much easier to get in and out in comparison to where it was originally located across the street. Food and drink was ready fast and there's tons of seating.”
“Had an issue where I mistakenly placed my order here instead of the one near my house so I had to stop by after work 8 hours later. Eric helped me out he was super nice and was able to help me out! Thanks again Eric!”
“The new dining room is open to customers. They've removed the blue half circle bench and gone with country rustic. Butcher Block tables with black metal accents. The carpet is gone and tile in its place. Sight lines have been opened further.Drive through is quick. Ordering from the inside counter is the same. Meals come out quick & fast. The service team works well together and takes pride in their new surroundings, keeping them clean.”
“I love Dunkin reminds me of back home on the east coast. This place is never busy which is good for me but not sure it's good for business. The workers are sweet and prompt!”
“The staff is what makes this place great. A little while ago the service was awful and the coffee was never made right. It seems they now have an entirely new staff and they are wonderful. Super kind, always gets my order right, very apologetic if the wait is long (not their fault). The woman that has recently been at the window in the afternoons (around 12-3) has made my day multiple times. She is the sweetest, kindest soul always.”
“The staff wasn't paying attention to the people inside the store. A few people walked out.Parking: Dunkin donuts shared a store with Subway. So parking was ok until lunch time.Wheelchair accessibility: First floor, the doors going in was hard to handle unless someone was holding it open for you.”
“The best Wendy's restaurant I have been. I a child with a special need. Anytime I visit this location at Silverlane East Hartford CT. The manager and all the employees treat him like a king. The welcome him and makes him feel like home. The manager told me the father to bring him all the time. The price and services are excellent. Recommend this location to everyone especially those with special needs. You will feel welcome. The place is nice and clean. Thank you this location management.”
“Jorge was very professional but friendly as well in taking my order. The service was quick, place was clean and the food delicious! Victor the manager was available to be sure that I was pleased and had a good experience.”
“Fix your potholes!!!! It's all around your franchise. Also, I'm disappointed that your chicken isn't cooked fully most times. The last 2 months have been so awful that it hurt my stomach.”
“I had a mobile order and had a Baconator combo with Baconator fries. The meal is great but I felt that simply forgot to top the fries with Bacon. Not a big deal but a tad disappointing. The line to get the food was long and it felt like getting a mobile order didn’t save much time.”
“This is the best Dunkin around. The staff is friendly and it always looks like they are having a good time which always brightens my mornings to see. The girl who makes the sandwiches must be a magician because whatever she does to make them must be magic... they are always so good. I've been to lots of different Dunkin's and have never had a better sandwich from anywhere. They have never screwed up my order either unlike the one down the street at the gas station. Thank you for the great service.”
“I see so many bad reviews but it’s never been a bad encounter with this store.Today heavenly was the absolute best ! God bless you girl thank you so much for being kind and patient with my mom and I ?”
“Came in and ordered a pumpkin spice latte (through the app)z arrived 4 mins later and waited inside all of 45 seconds and somebody asked if I was a mobile order. I confirmed that I was & they asked my name and I said "Sarah" and then there was a chorus of people saying the name "Sarah" (or this is how it felt) and the my coffee was handed to me TOASTY and somebody apologized for the wait. Also note but it was clean and well staffed and I was impressed with my experience and would be back!”
“I used to work here like 15 years ago. The quality of the food was fantastic. I see a lot of rude comments people say about Robert and his wife they where so nice to me when I worked there, people have to understand it's a small family business and they have been working hard to give manchester ct good food, so take it easy people.”

“Food is always great. Then again, I just get the same thing every time.20 piece original, with the Daytona sauce. It is amazing!Service is hit or miss, as far as wait staff goes. Instead of a waitress or bartender spreading themselves out to everybody equally.Unfortunately it seems they have favorites and flirt. You hear staff complaining how dead is, and fail to recognize they are the problem. If they were attentive to everyone equally, instead of playing favorites and chatting. Maybe we would come more often. Just a thought. I recall waiting to order a drink for 10 minutes just waiting for her to stop a personal conversation with a bar patron.”
“Had an absolutely FANTASTIC breakfast at The Gathering Diner this morning!! Inviting atmosphere, delicious food, great service and the owner Mike makes you feel like family. Highly recommend this great breakfast spot!”

“The best ice cream! It’s better than cold stone creamery. Not only is there a great menu but you can have it made exactly the way you want when you build your own concoction. They also offer lactose free in EVERY flavor…it doesn’t get better than that. Plus, you get to watch them make it, from scratch!”
“My wife decided to try something different off Door Dash and Hartford Road Pizza won the roll of the dice. And boy did it hit the spot! Will definitely order again. For some reason this pizza reminds me of the pizza from my childhood. Highly recommend!”
“The food and service amazing! We went there my boyfriend and I and I ordered a dirty martini with extra olives. The bartender was friendly and made a great martini. The best part is we went back a while later for a second visit, and she remembered exactly what I drink, and the estra without me saying a word. The food came out of timing dinner and was delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and pleasant Update ----- I live down the street and applied for a job bartending . The owner called me twice , said he would be having me in for an interview and blew me off. So won't be back. I don't support people that don't keep there word.”
“Most yummy and friendliest place to get ice cream... New flavors all the time. I come in every Tuesday with the kids for the ice cream and the old school ice cream shop experience. Staff is so amazing with the kids!”
“My first time visiting Anthony’s I had a great experience. From the time I walked in , to ordering my food to paying for it, the two ladies behind the counter were very friendly & professional. I ordered a small curry chicken w/ rice / peas & steamed vegetables. It was one of the tastiest dishes I have ordered in a long time. I am looking forward to visiting again & trying mny other dishes.Definitely will spread the word. ⭐️”
“I am so happy to have found this bakery! Rebecca has been a part of multiple family celebrations now, including my Son's first birthday party. She is extremely talented - her cakes/cupcakes are beautiful and tasty, and she provides so many flavor and frosting options to choose from. Each time I used her services, I was looking for something very specific and customized. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and delivered it perfectly each time! Rebecca is so accommodating and kind too, and very responsive. Don't let the modest signs fool you - Carlito's is absolutely the best! Highly recommended!Parking: Easy to find parking from the street”

“I started going to them 12 years ago when I was pregnant with my son and I LOVE their food. I was really upset when they moved but someone told me about this place in Manchester and they said it’s probably the same owners and I was so excited when it was! The food is still just as good, they’ve added so many new drinks, we love it. The new location is beautiful too!”

“AMAZING FOOD!!!The flavors are absolutely perfect. I had a crab/shrimp/lobster tail boil, with the house seasoning, medium spice. It's hard for me to remember a better tasting meal. The flavors were amazing with just the right amount of kick. Can't wait to go back!Parking: Huge parking lot. No issues.Kid-friendliness: Totally kid-friendly environment”
“This place was a surprise to me. While not every single item was a hit, most were. I was surprised given how large the menu is. They have a number of go to items but I think they have the most unique and best chicken and waffles in the area, by far with an anazing maple bacon "gravy". Their other go to items are the mac and cheese with blackened chicken, fried mozzarella (although i feel they should offer 4-5 triangles fir the price compared to 3), pulled pork sandwich, which while good, was a bit on the smaller side, as were the fries. They need to make both of those a bit more generously proportioned like the other items. (Bears bbq has a bigger sandwich I feel is a better bargain).But some items were generously portioned too. I also recommend the poutine. The majority of items I had here were cooked amazingly well. Very recommended. The desserts were kinda average though. My guest ordered the chilli which was small and he was not really impressed. The seasonal ramen bowl was well received. My only issue was when I came in on my birthday and mentioned it, they didn't offer me anything complimentary, when i mentioned it to the server. Or really even acknowledge it, which I was a bit bothered by as I chose this place for my birthday.”

“By far The BEST Dunkin Donuts of Manchester. They actually know how to make my iced decaf pumpkin latte. Omg I asked for a blueberry muffin and for it to be warm and with butter, yo I was hooked and it was delicious. I might have to go the extra mile when it comes to Dunkin on Center Street. The young lady at the drivethru was very polite and friendly. Keep up the good work”
“Love going to this well-established neighborhood bar/Italian restaurant. I live fairly close by. I treat myself once or twice a month here. I absolutely love the service, food and portion size. I eat my meal, and always have a take out portion for two more meals. The booths are roomy, and don't get me started on how good the mini baguette rolls are. Readers GO HERE. The bar side is always HOPPING! I may sit in there next time. Watch out!”
“Casual yet elegant atmosphere. Top level service. Food excellent in all respects. Preparation and presentation. Amazing value for the portion size. Definitely a go to establishment.”
“Tried them today for first time. Waitress was super friendly. The salted caramel flavored coffee was good. Their home fries are outstanding. I ordered a steak & cheese omelette with no peppers. It came out with peppers but they remade it quickly and gave me more home fries. The whole experience was good. Would definitely go back.”

“Chipotle is having trouble keeping up with demand. In two visits in the last week at dinnertime, they were out of some items.When fully stocked, they're food is so good! They promise to be fully stocked up to about 2 p.m., but that does not help the "after work" crowd.Hoping they can find supply soon.”
“We've done dine-in and pick-up at the Manchester, CT location multiple times. We love this place. The food is consistently delicious no matter what is ordered or how it's ordered. I love dining in because it's so bright with natural light, and it smells amazing as only Italian pizzerias can. The service is friendly whether it's extremely busy or you're lucky enough to catch them at a time when it's light service.Orders can be made online or over the phone for pick-up. They have an app too, with coupons. Very convenient.”
“Been twice so far and can’t wait to come back! Love the sauce bar! We’ve done both bbq and hot pot, both are great. Wish there were some more side dishes but it’s so much food it doesn’t even matter! Also super great fresh kimchi! Great service and they change out the grills regularly which is nice. It’s our new go to restaurant!”
“We love Crumbl Cookies! We check every Monday for the flavors, and then every Friday night we have a cookie tasting night. The best part is they are just as soft and delicious the next morning for breakfast.”
“My wife, granddaughter, and I had so much fun yesterday enjoying time together during lunch. My wife had an omelet with cheese that she enjoyed. My granddaughter had chocolate chip pancakes and a strawberry shake. ? She's 5 years old and really enjoyed her meal. My protein pancakes were delicious and healthy, and the coffee ☕️ was hot too. The waitress was friendly and gave extra attention to my granddaughter.Kid-friendliness: Waitress gave my granddaughter crayons and a coloring page. My granddaughter enjoyed it.”
“The food and the service was good. Wait staff was attentive and pleasant. Food was warm and came out quickly. Environment was a little loud but the place was packed so that's a good sign. Definitely will be coming here again.”
“Use the app! There are better promotions there than just going through the drive thru.Kid-friendliness: Nice to have other options for the kiddos than burgers and chicken.”
“"When the promise is broken, you go on living But it steals something from down in your soul" (Bruce Springsteen) If the name of your business promises "Giant Grinders", well you better damn deliver on that promise, right? You'll get no broken promises from CJ's Pizza and Giant Grinders, because their grinders sure do deliver on your expectations. They have 25 different grinders that truly are GIANT and sold in half ($9ish) or whole ($17-$19ish) sizes. Grinders are served with Lettuce, Tomatoes and Cheese, with Peppers and Onions by request. I stopped by for two "half sized" grinders yesterday, a Giant Ham and Provolone with lettuce, tomato, and onions, and an equally Giant Italian Combo with lettuce, tomato, onions, peppers, and jalapenos. The portions were huge. The half grinders are quite big and are piled very high with the goods, so a half of the half will be enough for a great meal. Our two sandwiches ran around $23 after the extras and tax, but we are getting 4 meals out of that $23. They also sell pizzas and some very nice salad varieties and pasta dinners with sausage and meatballs. It's a very nice old school pizza/grinder joint and the folks I interacted with were super friendly and welcoming.”
“Solid buffet, plenty of options! Staff was very attentive and quick. The decor and setting was very nice, one of the better looking and tasting buffets I've eaten at.”
“Manchester is my home town but I live 2000 miles away, but e when I return home I try to hit Shady Glen. SG is renown for its cheeseburgers and ice cream. Those are completely great choices, for sure, but I go down-menu for a scallop platter or whole belly clams. I get their fries and Cole slaw whenever I can. My mom accompanied me this trip, and just ordered French fries and Cole slaw, with a half-gallon of chocolate chip ice cream. I can't argue with those selections. Perfect. I got a hot fudge sundae with mint chocolate chip, scratching a childhood era itch. I love this place.”
“Pam goes above and beyond to make one’s experience personal; she is a sincere person who truly cares about others, and she should be recognized for her hard work, dedication, and efficiency. It is a pleasure to dine at Fridays in Manchester because of Pam.”
“This was honestly the best experience I've had at a fast food spot - the service was second to none! Genuinely helpful employees who went out of their way to take care of us. We'll be back!”
“Haven’t been to Red Robin in several years and decided to give it a try on a nice Sunday afternoon. Burger was great but the onion rings were very salty!! Not sure if I just caught them on the wrong day or if this is the norm. Willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again.”
“The food is good, the prices are what you’d expect to pay for good food, and I love what they did with the interior. If I could just make one suggestion it would be to make your signage more accurate, on the chalk board it says “10% off if you like the Facebook page”, so upon picking up my takeout order I showed them I liked the page but was informed it was for dine-in only. It would make sense to just add (dine-in only) on the sign if you’re advertising that deal. But otherwise great place and will be back”
“Ryan at the take out area is always a great help, but yesterday even more than usual. There was an error with my order , and without hesistation he made the corrections and apologized for the mistake, remained courteous and kept his composure despite having multiple customers to take care of at once. Hes a major reason my family chooses take out there often, makes the environment way better!”
“We've gone a couple times and absolutely love it. The choice of spice level is great and the service is fast and friendly. Very clean restaurant amd we will absolutely be coming here as our go to Indian restaurant.”
