“A personal note expressing our gratitude to Irene's staff. My husband Phil's 80th birthday a huge success! I had ordered tons of food, all arrived on time and was piping hot and ready to serve.

“Great little place to grab coffee or a smoothie! We both got coffee! I got the Snickerdoodle hot coffee and my man got the seasonal Christmas campfire hot coffee! Both were really good! Not too sweet and not too strong! Friendly staff and the place was cozy and decorated for the season! They have a visible bathroom behind the counter but when we asked to use it they directed us to the bathrooms next door at the vault store since it was “nicer and more spacious”! We will most likely be back to try the smoothies!”

“07.29.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews – EP.144 📍Manny’s Pizza Plus 💎 City of Norwich, CT Sometimes, the best food isn’t just about flavor—it’s about familiarity. This review wasn’t just another stop. This was a return. Six years ago, I used to walk these streets every day. I lived right around the corner at 17 Russell Road, and when I wanted a hot meal—whether it was lunch, dinner, or just a craving—Manny’s Pizza Plus was the move. It wasn’t just close… it was comfort. So for Episode 144, I did something different. I went back to where it all started. I parked the car. Looked at my old house. And I walked… just like I used to… straight to Manny’s. And what I found? Same warmth. Same heart. And yeah… still delicious. Let’s break it down: --- 1. French Onion Soup & Turkey Sandwich Combo – $8.99 💣 This combo hit hard. The French onion soup came out rich, cheesy, and full of flavor—the kind of bowl that slows you down and makes you appreciate the moment. The turkey sandwich? Toasted rye bread, stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, and honey Dijon mustard. That combo was excellent. A perfect pairing that brought everything full circle. --- 2. Fried Shrimp Lunch Plate – $13.50💣 Six crispy shrimp, fried just right—crunchy outside, soft and juicy inside. Real good. So good, I ate the tails. No lie. The French fries were on point—crispy, golden, hot. Coleslaw wasn’t bad, but not for me. Just a side that didn’t hit the same. --- 3. Small Cheese Pizza – $6.99 💣 That classic Greek-style pizza that Manny’s is known for—soft, sweet sauce, cheese that melts beautifully, and a crust that’s golden on the outside and soft on the inside. This was exactly what I remembered. Comfort food at its finest. --- The Atmosphere & Service This was a true B.A.R.R. Gem Spot—not because it’s fancy or flashy, but because it matters to me. The vibe inside is casual, easy, and welcoming. And the service? Absolutely wonderful. My server was Christina, who just so happens to be Manny’s daughter. She took great care of me—friendly, attentive, and full of pride for her family’s place. --- Final Thoughts: Sometimes the past calls you back—not for closure, but for connection. And this trip to Manny’s reminded me why I do what I do. It’s not just about new flavors… it’s about honoring the places that helped shape who we are. And when it comes to taco pizza—I’ll say this loud and clear: Manny’s makes the VERY BEST taco pizza I’ve ever had. Still my go-to whenever that craving hits. So if you’re in Norwich and want a spot that’s real, consistent, and full of heart—pull up to Manny’s Pizza Plus. Make sure you tell 'em Big Al sent you. And if you see that house on Russell Road? Give it a wave for me. ’See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ – Big Al Mayo”

“It's one of the better places to get a grinder and a great Pizza. The ladies that worked there. And the one young man, our awesome. They know all their customers by name. And usually what they order great place”

“I cannot thank Anna enough for our cake! Our baby’s first cake, even! It was so sweet and so delicious! 10/10 would recommend!”

“I have been in the Norwich area for 6 years, but I had Mr. Pan's food for the first time today, after reading good reviews. They did not disappointed. Food was delicious and fresh. The person who took my order was very patience. Going back for sure.”

“Very good philly. The bully is worth every penny.”

“Yummmm thank you, we will be back”

“Delicious brick oven pizza, crispy crust, fresh toppings, great service! Love the environment, all of their menu is great.”

“Unbelievably fantastic beer and dining. They have the best grilled oysters in New England. Pair it up with Effed Up On Pilz and you will be in Heaven. They even have Effed Up On Pilz shirts that are a one of a kind. You have to check it out.”

“Great menu I wanted to try everything but couldn't because I ordered a 40 once prime rib on a Monday which is unheard of. Most places only serve prime rib on Fridays or the weekends. Service was excellent.”

“Engine No.6 Pizza Company where do I start! Not only is the pizza addicting but you guys go above and beyond for your customers! Some restaurants you can tell just want to take your money and are annoyed at small request made by customers but Engine 6 is not like this you guys come through for me on more than one occasion and I’m forever grateful. Thank You for being amazing!!”

“I work at the Pomfret Baker’s Dozen, so I’ve had my fair share of coffee — but my visit to the Chaplin location absolutely blew me away! The coffee was perfect (hands down the best I’ve ever had), and the manager at the window made it with such care. Friendly service, smooth coffee, and the kind of attention to detail that makes you want to come back every day. Great job, Chaplin team! ☕👏”

“WE LOVE THEIR PIZZA!!!! BEST SAUCE, BEST CRUST, BEST EVERYTHING!!!!! �”

“Had a big order or sundaes Selena made sure all my sundaes we're made perfectly even after I changed an order. The service alone makes this restaurant worth coming to”

“Get some of the best coffee beans here! I have struggled to find a decent Decaf Whole Bean coffee for my espresso machine. The Big D is amazing with wonderful chocolate tones. It is reasonably priced and easy to order and have shipped to my home. \nThis is not a cafe anymore, because they are focusing on their micro batch roasting process to give you an amazing coffee bean, available as whole bean, ground, or in compostable K-cups. Subscribe to save more money!”

“Tried Voc's for the first time tonight and it was great! Ordered a grilled chicken grinder and pepperoni pizza, both awesome. Quick time for pick up, friendly staff when I went in and delicious food. Be back soon! Thank you.”

“amazing food, had the fish and chips!!”

“Sharon is awesome and keeps the place moving. This was the best part of our otherwise disappointing holiday inn stay. Food was delicious, fairly priced, and came quickly. Kids eat free with adult meal so that was excellent as well.”

“amazing atmosphere with great pours.”

“Great food and service. Destiny was an awesome server.”

“I love the broccoli and garlic sauce so flavorful & just the right amount of spice !! & there boneless spare ribs are so tender they melt right in your mouth just chefs kiss !! Fried dumplings are so amazing and they also melt k your mouth !!! Beef and cheese rolls they’re amazing I g fast like a Philly cheese steak egg roll 10 outta 10 don’t miss out on this gem !!!!”

“Thank you to Blazin BBQ for catering my party. The food was incredible. Pulled pork. Brisket. The wings were a favorite!! Mac and cheese and more. I have been recommending you ever since!”

“Great environment… Recommend 1000%”

“Great food and they are very nice people and their food is authentic I know couseim Puerto Rican but I don't like all Puerto Rican food I'm a tough critic I also am a chef and know how Puerto Rican cuisine should taste like so If you are ever around try the potatoes balls with ground beef inside or a mofongo with pernil it's the best and filling”

“I was taking my client to a dr appointment and stopped for a coffee I was immediately focused to the fried chicken and Jojo’s !! I decided to just get a few 3 to be exact, to try them. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he rang up the wings 7.59 for 3 !! Dammit! I said are the potatoes included he said no but I really wanted those dam Jojo’s 10 dollars and 29 cents later I scurried out with my purchase!! I have to admit they were DELICIOUS ? I heartily recommend them”

“One of our favorite pubs ever!! Very warm welcome by all of the staff and the most creative fun bartender ever.”

“you could taste the fresh ingredients!! loved the antipasto grinder”

“Extremely friendly bartenders and atmosphere was great... only suggestion would be to have a better selection of non-alcoholic choices... but definitely 5-star for silverstar”

“Since moving to Norwich, I have had a terrible time finding a good Chinese take out spot. Today, for the first time at this spot, I ordered a boneless spare rib combo with egg roll. The boneless ribs were absolutely delicious, just wish there was more of them, the pork fried rice delicious, and probably one of the best egg rolls I've had! Highly recommended!”

“Good food at a good price.”

“Always a great time. Friendly, laid back staff. Excellent service.I make it a point to stop every time I visit Connecticut.”

“Very beautiful hotel and nice workers they where very nice and helpful deff will come again 😊😉”

“their food is well seasoned and authentic Dominican cuisine.”

“A wonderful random find! Amazing food!”

“I came in 7 minutes before they closed, told them I knew it was late and was fine if they just wanted to go home, as I could only imagine the frustration of someone last minute. They said it was okay and took my order, nothing big just two items and verified with them it was alright to be ordering extras like fries that late. Turns out they had two people call out and so it seemed to just be 3 of them holding down the fort. Anyways tipped them in cash and thanked them. As for the food?
Burger? BOMB.
Fries? BOMB.

Don’t come in late like I did though, they don’t deserve that, tip them they definitely deserve that.
Thanks again ya’ll.”

“Fat cat has always been one of my favorite places. The food is always so good, the servers are great, and the owner has always been so pleasant everytime I've been. The bartenders also always do such a good job! Plus, you can't go wrong with cat decor everywhere🥰”

“Came in for 2 orders of crazy bread during lunch time. One employee was working very hard to help everyone, prepare orders and check them out. The location is very small as there were 4 customers in the store and it was a tight fit. However, the employee kept it moving and I didn’t wait longer than 5 minutes to receive my order and it was PERFECT! She was happy and knowledgeable and everything I could hope for in a visit! I will be returning to this location for more crazy bread! Keep up the good work! :)”

“They're always fresh they're always friendly and if anything ever happens they apologize and make things right this place is amazing all around very clean as well fresh food 😉👌”
