17 Best American Restaurants near Tolland

“Lovely experience, the food was wonderful. I got an Omelette du Jour and it was perfectly cooked with a wonderful blend of delectable flavors. The service staff were wonderful, they were very kind and accomodating.My only issue would have to be the strong smell of gasoline which was almost nauseating, presumably due to the several fireplaces being lit in an enclosed space. Aside from that, the atmosphere was wonderful with very elegant yet homey decor, and I love that they support local artists by allowing them to sell their paintings there.Parking: The place was packed, though there was ample parking, we ended up having to park on the grass.Wheelchair accessibility: They offer handicap parking and everything is on one floor.“

“What a wonderful stay! Great location for visiting UCONN campus with clean/fun-themed/comfortable rooms and warm, welcoming vibe. Staff was wonderful - especially Sarah, Chris and Shannon at the Trophy Room restaurant. We will definately be back!“

“Just Love this establishment! Food, Service & Atmosphere was Exceptional.I had the Ribeye, and my other 2 family members had the Tortellini Rosa & The Lamb Gyro. Also, excellent spinach dip. The portions were huge! Enough to bring home for a 2nd meal. I highly recommend this restaurant !!!“

“Ok, so that was delicious.I saw the ad on that big ol' book of faces for a lobster roll meal priced at $17. Right on rt6 in Andover. Hey, I know that place. I must've driven by 1000 times. They've been there for decades, right? Needless to say, my interest was piqued. 17 bucks is pretty inexpensive for a ct lobster roll. So, pointed the trusty Accord east. Within minutes, i was there & within minutes after that I held in my hands a buttery, velvety rich delicious CT-Style Lobster Roll. A buttery grilled hot dog bun, topped with what looked like half a lobster; one claw, about a half-tail meat & smaller, more delicate picked buttery meats. The whole thing was doused in more clarified butter. Did I mention it was buttery?...soooo buttery. To cut the richness, the roll is accompanied by a small plastic ramekin of rather non-descript, yet perfectly adequate creamy mildly sweet/vinegary cole slaw & a small bag of Lay's original Potato chips. This is a pretty decent lunch-time meal for about the same price as.the so-called birthday meal at that large McCorporate place. The price on that was absurd & really made me Grimace. ... Not Tom's Place, though! Sat under some nice shady trees at the provided picnic tables next to a place where Rochambeau used to hang out. I enjoyed good eats at a classic roadside stand. Highly recommend.Parking: plenty of room for r/v or rig.“

“My dad and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. We sat at the bar and got to watch a dynamic duo slam out a very crowded breakfast in a methodical like fashion. Our server was attentive and friendly. Everyone had smiles even tho the place was literally packed with a wait at the door. Noone skipped a beat. And the food was great. I honestly liked the portions not being over bearing and feeling stuffed. And my dad loved the homemade peach jam. Thank you “

“My experience here was fantastic. Very friendly and professional. The tables are well kept and cleaned, including the balls every night. The food was great, pretty basic menu. The service was great and I have nothing but kudos to ladies that wait on us. There is league nights, so call for public availability first, I strongly suggest. This establishment is well kept, I strongly recommend to family and friends, also to the public.“

“We've been coming to this restaurant ever since the early 1970s.It's one of those local gems that the locals love. Large menu selection and great tasty food. They have expanded since the first restaurant, but don't be surprised to have a slight wait due to popularity around meal times. I believe one can make a reservation? I feel the prices are very reasonable. Photos show a delicious cheese omelet and eggs Benedict. Best home fries I ever had. This is a definite must try if you are in the area and the wait staff are very friendly and accommodating, most being long time employees. Take note that they only accept cash.“

“I just moved to town and was alone in my still empty house. The Burrstone Rd Friendly’s was close so I did a take out order online. It was done when I got there and the ladies working were so nice! The BLT was actually quite good on sourdough and the onion rings were awesome.“

“Ahhh the cheese skirt. When I drove across the country on what I called "the burger tour" I knew I had to stop at Shady Glen. I'm from California and we do our burgers a certain way but when George Motz featured this place in his book I knew I had to try this unique New England icon. It did not disappoint. I'm sure all the locals know and love this joint but if any out of towners who love burgers are reading this, please make an effort to stop by. The atmosphere alone is worth a visit. I hope this place is open for a hundred years.“

“Our first visit and absolutely not our last! From.the moment we walked in, the vibe had us smiling. Our server Brittany was amazing, and the food...WOW! We got the tuna tartare as an appetizer and it was fresh and delicious. I had the salmon and he had the jambalaya. The portions were generous but not too much and the food itself was delicious! We decided to share a piece of the cheesecake of the week and were NOT disappointed! Strawberry shortcake...think the good humor ice cream bar...The owners stopped by and made sure we were enjoying our meal. Can't wait to go back!“

“What a great place. Even though I only live a short drive from here, I hadn't visited for years. My mistake. Even on a very busy weekend morning, we were seated promptly, and our order taken. The coffee was hot and delicious. Our breakfasts were exactly what we were expecting, and perfectly prepared. Service was attentive and I noticed the whole staff was cooperating to make sure guests were happy. Everyone was very friendly. Will definitely be back.Parking: Parking is easy.“

“This was my first time here… I absolutely loved the burger… we had ordered hangover burger and it is one of best burger you can around this part of CT. I shared the burger, so they had cut in 2 and put it 2 different plates .. that was so good … usually I have requested to cut the burger in half.. many restaurants have denied it outrightly. Chicken wings are really good and worth every penny.. I was disappointed with the French onion soup though.. it was something I didn’t like at all.. order the tarter tots instead of fries.. looks they tots are popular there .. and fries aren’t great like burger..“

“Upscale American fare food options, lots of drink choices both, tons of tvs if you're into sports but not loud where you can't enjoy your meal and talk. Prices are fair and service is always great when we visit. Plenty of tables and bar space so we've never had to wait even though they are usually busy. Highly recommended.“

“Six senior citizens. Six separate checks. Five were on time, the 6th arrived about 25 minutes later. Our server was Emma. She was awesome! Friendly, funny, efficient and patient. She answered all of our silly questions and made sure we had everything we needed while waiting. Once the 6th person arrived, she took our orders and refilled waters and asked if anyone wanted additional drinks. Our meals arrived together and every special request was on target. The food was good and meals were large enough for leftovers for most of us. I would definitely go to Beni's again, and would be happy to be seated at Emma's table.“

“Had the best prime rib dinner ever last night at Joanna’s. The meal wasn’t skimpy by any means. Definitely worth the price. Not only got a salad but a fresh vegetable that was seasoned just right. The prime rib was like butter, so tender. Will be going back for sure!“

“Food is very tasty & plentyiful. Nice selection of offerings. Enjoy Taco Tuesday. Friendly staff. Nice place for gatherings with friends. Jonathan is great to work with!Kid-friendliness: Casual relaxed atmosphere.Parking: Plenty of parking“
