    Lunch stop on the run...needed sustenance between this, that and the other. Ran in to Bob's and had a quick English muffin and side of bacon. Surely hit the spot. My travel partner had one of the two soups of the day: Pea Soup. This was delicious [I snuck a spoonful or three] and truly it had that home made taste, Service was prompt and friendly with lots of regulars enjoying themselves. Need to go back when we have more time.

    Bob's Coffee Shop is a casual, no frills, classic breakfast and lunch joint joint that serves food at a fair price point. Given the number of tables filled with comfortable-looking people at breakfast and the way many customers were personally greeted, I believe Bob's has a loyal customer base. I was a first time customer and the Bob's servers warmly greeted me and provided very efficient and friendly service throughout my meal. Service is definitely a selling point. The inside is clean, but a little rough around the edges. When I looked down, I noticed several areas where the carpet had been taped. The breakfast offerings seemed relatively standard for a place like Bob's, which is what I was looking for. I ordered a breakfast combo with scrambled eggs, sausage, home fries and rye toast. I made two special requests - well done home fries and melted American cheese on my eggs. Bob's succeeded on both requests. The food was about average. The hash browns were well done, but they needed more salt during the cooking process. The generous three sausage links, on the other hand were too salty. I ate the sausage and hash browns together to balance the salinity. The eggs with melted cheese tasted good, but they came flat and molded together. I would have preferred a more textured look and feel. I can see why Bob's is popular with its loyal customer base. Service is great and the food is familiar and decent. Three Stars

    The "BIG Breakfast"... not so BIG.

    ATTENTION SENIOR CITIZENS!! If you're single and ready to mingle. This is the spot. Well, maybe for a chat. Plenty of company to chat with on the counter. Avg age: 61 Atleast. This is a traditional spot. Like traditional!! Servers and staff all wore workout clothing, like hoodies and tshirts. Very friendly and it felt as if I was at my grandmas house at a BIG feast. The staff: very nice. Welcoming and friendly. I ordered the big breakfast. Wasn't that BIG. But it was simple and safe. I wanted my homefries crispy... that didn't happened. They must be short staffed in the kitchen because it took longer than expected to get my food. It was even longer for the woman besides me. Taste: it was OK. It's traditional remember. You can find this same meal at 100 other locations. I had to miss my Chiro appointment because of this wait.... But breakfast was more important. Would I return: probably not. Maybe to just support a local business.

    Had to go with the Special yesterday and it sure did fuel my day! - Biscuits with sausage gravy, 2 eggs, with potatoes Always a pleasure!

    Bob's Coffee Shop is an iconic staple in the Rocky Hill community. It is a small and quaint coffee shop with approximately 20-25 tables. On the weekends they are only open until noon and are packed. The food is excellent, although the portions are a bit smaller and the bacon could be cooked a little more, but that is my personal taste. Other than that I have no complaints and will be back soon!

    Very tempting, but bacon egg & cheese on a hard-roll most tempting.

    I had been eyeing Bob's Coffee Shop (& Much More) and finally stopped in one Sunday morning. It was about 7:00 am and on my way to the office, yup. The Shop was hopping with regulars at tables and a smaller counter. The aroma of Breakfast in the air: Coffee, Bacon, Eggs, Butter, Cinnamon, and Syrup thick in the air. Boldly, I saddled up to the counter between a couple of fellas. "Morning" was exchanged. I cautiously eyed the plates and before a menu could be obtained, a coffee was offered. I ordered my standard grab and run: Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Hard Roll...and a coffee while I waited. Knowing other were in the office, I checked-in and poled orders. Wait staff was pleasant when the order expanded. Providing a better time to enjoy the small-town vibe and sense of community. The sandwiches delivered warm with packets of ketchup. Appreciated by all and new fans created. See ya, next time, Bob!

    Eggs Benedict
    Ian L.

    Very busy on a sunday after church and the interior is outdated but holds up pretty well. The prices are good but the food not so much. At least for me. Their eggs benedict was just OK but the homefries that came with it were a disappointment. Plenty of crumbs, they looked like leftover homefries and they didn't taste rhat great either. Service was very friendly though. Simply put, there really is not much to say about this place other than it's filled with old people and mediocre food. I didn't just say that.

    Came here when we were too late for breakfast at NY Pickel deli nearby so we stopped in. First time, cute spot very casual comfortable you can tell this is where the locals go. Menu prices were super affordable! We got: eggs Benedict, omelette, coffee and hot coco all for $25 food was hot and fresh. The staff was so friendly our waitress was very attentive and even brought more hollandaise sauce since she felt it wasn't enough for her liking. We for sure will be coming here again!

    Food: 3.8/5 Service: 3.4/5…read moreAmbiance: 3.7/5 Value: 3.6/5 The Charles is a nice upscale restaurant on Main Street in Wethersfield which opened in 2020 and quickly made Connecticut magazine's list of best restaurants. It is inside an old house of some sort, so it has a charming ambiance. They have a small parking lot so the spaces are a bit tight. Then, although we were on time for our 8:15pm reservation, we found out that they didn't have a table for us on the main floor, which is bad because my parents have mobility issues and cannot climb stairs. They asked us if we would be ok waiting five or ten minutes. Sure, that was fine we said. The host was very reassuring and he let us know that the corner table near the fireplace was finishing up and he'd get it bussed promptly. So that was good. But after we sat down we experienced service issues. Many items were unavailable. No orrechiete. No crab cakes. No sirloin special. It was weird. We hadn't arrived that late, on a Saturday night, how could so many dishes be sold out/unavailable? We ended up going with the scotch egg $11 and butternut squash arancini balls $12 for appetizers, which were both great. The scotch egg was a decent size and came with a mini salad. The arancini balls were small, but the truffle gorgonzola fontina cheese filling was really nice. Entrees were not bad. My Berkshire pork chop cooked medium was tender enough and had decent flavor. My Dad's veal ribs over mac and cheese were really good. My Mom's wagyu burger was tasty and my sister's salad was satisfactory. However the cost of the additional protein to the salad seems high (Grilled Chicken +14 / Seared Salmon +16/ Grilled Shrimp +21 / Churrasco Steak +24). The drinks were well made, but took a while to get to us. The "Charles... In Charge!" with old forester bourbon, montenegro, spiced cherry bitters, luxardo $15 was a hit. My Dad enjoyed his $17 Manhattan made with Angel's Envy bourbon. My $11 FreeBird mocktail was refreshing. Yet, throughout the night we found it difficult to get our server's attention. All four dishes did not arrive simultaneously. We had to flag someone down for more silverware after the appetizers were cleared. Right at the end when we were ready to pay, she got tied up listening to a couple at a neighboring table tell her a story or something. This must have been quite a yarn because she was totally enrapt and oblivious to our needs. We started wondering whether our table was actually her responsibility or not. Finally she came by and we let her know we were done, no dessert or after dinner drinks, just the check and a few boxes for takeout please. This was a new restaurant that we hadn't tried before, and maybe I took a risk by booking it for my Dad's 89th birthday, which was supposed to be special. Our experience was okay, and maybe we'd go again in the future, but there were too many more ups and downs this evening than I would have liked for a special occasion. I am rounding up to four stars overall, even though on this particular evening I didn't think each individual component met that mark exactly.

Walking in, immediately greeted by the owner. The place is very much a family owned and run location. The place is smaller but lots of comfy couches and modern decorations. The menu was a mix of breakfast hits. They know they are a smaller shop, do they highlight some of the best of the best in the state. Giv coffee, Goldberg bagels, Neil's donuts, and other local shops, announced with pride and on display. I appreciate places that recognize they might not be strong on certain items do they source from those who can. I got an affogato, sausages and cheese bagel, and a few Neil's donuts. The food came out quick, took some artsy pics then dug in. The affogato had lots of pistachios, coffee was strong and ice cream was nice and sweet. Could have done without the whipped cream, but the flavors were there. The sausage egg and cheese bagel, the bagel was very good, but didn't match well with the sandwich. A very good bagel has a chewy exterior and soft interior. This bagel has that, but it wasn't a good match for the soft egg slab and sausage patty. This bagel is a very good lunch sandwich or a schmere bagel, but not the best for a sandwich. The Neil's donuts were fresh and tasty, no complaints there. Pricing was higher than expected, but the quality was there to help justify it. I may skip the donuts next time I go and swap out the bagel for a biscuit, but it's a very good breakfast spot for the area

The place looked spacious and with a lot of light, it looked clean and they seemed to have a nice selection of wines (for those that like it) , they were displayed for people to see, which I thought looked very nice. I went to the restroom to wash my hands and I found it odd that there was only 1 restroom for the size of the restaurant. Our waiter was nice, he took our order and we were excited. The food took a VERY long time, we were starving, and we had kids with us so that wasn't good. Some of our orders were wrong and so unfortunately we had to wait even longer for the right meal. We didn't order alcohol but we did older a couple of mocktails. I was SUPER excited for them because that's something I always appreciate at a restaurant. I'm sad to say that they were AWFUL!! straight up syrup, not bubbly (some were supposed to have soda in them) not sweet, simply not enjoyable at all, I ended up switching it for a simple club soda, I figured it was a safe bet. When my food came out, it was ok, I had the avocado toast, and it was forgettable, my sister had the chicken and waffles and now THAT was the meal to get, it was large in portion and that chicken was beyond tasty!! My other sister has the lomito sandwich with the chips and it was good, something missing but she enjoyed it. The rest of the food were burgers and they were ok, the kids had burgers and Mac and cheese and they were not tasty according to the children's disinterest in barely touching their food (and they love cheeseburgers). I'm always willing to bypass certain things as long as customer service delivers BUT unfortunately they fell short. We were celebrating an engagement and so we were all very happy and in a great mood, when suddenly workers around us were cleaning up the neighboring tables, and even sweeping very close to us. We thought the place was possibly closing? (Even though it was only 2:15pm). I asked if they were closing and they said that they close the restaurant from 3-4 so their employees can go eat .... I'm not against giving them a break BUT, it really felt like they were kicking us out, we felt pressured to eat fast and wrap it up, not a good feeling, when you are in the zone of happiness. It was our first time there so, I would have appreciated if they would have informed us that the restaurant takes a little break in between and then we would have decided if we wanted to stay or go elsewhere. They did bring a little dessert and 2 mocktails for the newly engaged which was nice, I'll give them that. Overall, I don't think the food and experience was worth me coming back or recommending this place, I'm sure there's other much better places.
