    Lobster Bomb
    Iva S.

    This was so good. Lobster Bomb. This was delicious. Lobster and shrimp in a tasty bisque. In a bread bowl. So much seafood in it. It came with a side salad. $40 and worth it. For me, the bread bowl was tasty too but too much for me. I will definitely order it again when I visit, without the bread bowl. Service was great too. For those who are studying, there is free Wi-Fi so Get in before the evening dinner crowd for a good study spot where you can eat and drink without being rushed.

    True Score: 3.5 Stars This restaurant is a little hidden gem. Especially for being in an old mall with nothing really except Stop & Shop. Was meeting friends at a 1/2 way mark. The Reuben was made to perfection! The fries were crunchy and delicious. My other friends thought everything was delicious, the bacon burger and chicken tenders. Also the service was excellent which is a real plus. Great place for lunch or dinner. The only drawback is the place is in a desolate strip mall behind a Chili's. If it was in a nicer more vibrant spot this would have been a 4 star. Thanks

    Place is nice and clean dining area is separated from the bar with no TV's in this area. Service was excellent great recommendations from our waitress. We both had soup got appetizers she had the Chicken Noodle and as you can see from the picture it was overflowing g and tasted great. One recommendation would be to cut the potatoes a little smaller. I had the clam chowder and it was very good. My wife had the Chicken Pot Pie and she loved it. Her remarks is if the crust is good then you have a great Pot Pie. I had the Fish and Chips which were very good. Overall a good experience at this restaurant.

    Not sure what happened to this restaurant..they used to have great food..I was back in town with some co workers .. sadly to say the food was horrible..(see photos)..paid over $57.00 . The prime salad came w/mo beef& was soggy & stale w/brown spots , indication of stale..not sure if it was washed either..threw it in the trash didn't want to risk getting sick..coleslaw stale as well well the rest of the meal straight to the trash..establishment doesn't seem like it takes pride in their food any longer.. it's a shame it used to be a great restaurant.. not venturing any time soon.. wouldn't recommend either..

    Pleasant restaurant tucked away in the corner. When I walked in there was a noticeable delay before I was acknowledged, but otherwise I found the service pleasant and mostly attentive. Ambiance wise, it's comfortable and split in half between the bar area and eating area. You're probably fitting max 40 people in the eating area, probably not great for large groups unless you reserve the entire space. I got sesame ginger wings and a seafood bomb, and an iced tea, for $57. The wings were plump, juicy, and great tasting. The bomb was 6 oz of lobster meat and 8 oz of shrimp, then ladled with plenty of bisque in a bread bowl. The only negative thing I'd say is the alcohol/dairy ratio was slightly off in the alcohol direction. Overall a good visit. Knocked one star off for the specials board not being up to date, nor available inside as a additional menu insert, or from the waitress without asking specifics off it. Price can't be overlooked. $4 for iced tea, meh. $10 for the wings, great. Which means we slip a nearly $40 entree on the specials board with no price and let people find out come bill time.

    Bacon burger
    Greg G.

    First of all the other reviews here and elsewhere are accurate with their suggestions. We had a lunch meet up for the holiday season and chose here as an intermediary place. Let's begin- French onion soup was excellent. I saw it in another review and tried it. The burgers were great. Hit the spot. It is hard to mess up a burger and they do not. In a few places the fries were mentioned. These were excellent. The wait staff was top notch too, with spectacular service. This definitely adds to the enjoyment of a restaurant experience. The location fits the name "town grill". I love finding local gems. This is definitely one for Norwichtown. So if you're in the 395/route 2 intersection area of Connecticut - short distance from both casinos- this place will surprise you!

    One of the best chicken Popeyes I've shes ever had!!

    if you're craving classic Americana style food this is the place! First off our waitress was Leslie and she was absolutely fantastic, as far as the food goes both me and my wife cleared the plates. I ordered the meatloaf with green beans, meatloaf had great flavor do you want any dessert? No, thank you just (gravy was a touch salty but still vey good). my wife on the other hand, had one of the best pot pies she said she's ever had and I have to say that I totally agree... Chicken was so moist gravy was creamy and the portions on both give you a good bang for your buck!! can't wait to come back and try more of what's on the menu

    Seafood Bomb
    Kendra W.

    This place has been a regular of ours because the food is homemade and always good. In all of our travels here we've never had their 'seafood bomb' which is ALWAYS on the menu. This time we went for it to share and OMG is all I have to say! Over the top delicious and everything that you'd think it'd be! Definitely give it a go!!

    Classic Salted Margarita

    Drinks always delicious, specials are well thought out, and menu has selections for the whole family! Great spot to come solo too. Friendly staff & clean environment.

Nice open yet cozy seating and friendly smiles all around. Two of us had a delicious Cobb salad - we both felt it needed a bit more dressing - but it was super fresh and tasty. One had a steakhouse burger which she really liked as well and we split Shed Fries and Sweet Potato fries. All was delicious. I knocked one star off because we all really felt the burgers should have come with fries as opposed to a pickle spear and coleslaw. For the price, an added pile of fries would have been nice as opposed to having to order a side plate. That aside, food was delicious, service was spectacular. John was super friendly and helpful with choices too. Tempted to go back to try their brunch items! Maybe before I leave I'll get back there!

Some of the best places I've ever eaten at a where greasy spoon hole in the wall. Exception: Resteraunts must not realize what a bad impression it makes when they don't regularly clean the glass doors, windows or bathrooms. It makes a big difference to me & it's easier to trust what is coming out of the kitchen when you arent afraid to touch the menu or bathroom handle because you can see evidence of the millions of other people that have touched the doors before you. ( This waa the case here, but, I overlooked this for the sake of the review) The bar was to the immediate left as you walked in, but you were seperated from it by beams. If you contunued to walk straight, you would walk down a hallway & the restauraunt seating would be to your left, also seperated by beams & half walls. Most of the people who walked in were just picking up & 5:30 there were only 2 tables in the main dining area & 1 person seated at the bar. I sat ar the bar & ordered the ruben w/ onion rings. The Ruben was surprisingly tasty ( i didnt have high hopes), but the swiss was really cheap & had the same consistency of imitation American processed cheese food. The onion rings were greasy & I didn't actually see or taste onion inside, but I do believe they would be passable for most. I could only eat a few & got a stomach ache from the grease, that continued to repeat & disturb me well past 11pm. Overall not the worst meal I've eaten, but definately not the best. I would pass.

Evidenced by the fact that everything is served in a to-go fashion with plastic ware, if you do eat in you can ask for metal silverware. I was allowed to sample the proteins of the day, and while both the chicken stew and pork chop were tasty, I went with the pork chop, along with some cabbage and some black rice & peas. You won't find menus here, just a screen with today's food. Evidently you can also find them on Facebook if you want to know the menu before you go. All the employees are very nice, so that's a plus. I'll have to check it out another day when they have goat or ox tail available. As a tip, if you want the seafood boil on Saturday, you have to order it on Friday.
