The moment we stepped inside, we were wrapped in warmth -- not just from the air itself, but from…read morethe atmosphere it carried. The space was spotless, gleaming with quiet care, the kind of cleanliness that makes you instantly at ease. The staff moved with purpose -- hardworking, attentive, yet effortlessly kind. From the very first greeting, there was a sense that they genuinely cared. Even ordering felt seamless; the kiosk stood ready, simplifying every choice, turning the selection process into something smooth and almost satisfying in its ease. And then came the shakes. A strawberry and a chocolate -- two classics, elevated into something unforgettable. The first sip was nothing short of divine. Silky. Lush. Perfectly balanced. The creaminess didn't overpower. The texture was velvety and indulgent, gliding smoothly with every taste. The strawberry was bright and sweet, bursting with freshness, while the chocolate was rich and deep. Each sip felt crafted -- not rushed, not careless -- but blended with intention. Flavorful without being overwhelming. Sweet without losing its depth. Smooth in a way that makes you pause just a second longer before the next sip. It wasn't just a shake. It was comfort in a cup. A warm environment. Genuine service. Simple ordering made effortless. And drinks that felt like a small, perfect, ending to a nice day.

I enjoy going to Shake Shack and had huge high hopes for this newly opened location in the Shops at…read moreStone Bridge Crossing which is a brand new shopping plaza with Whole Foods, TJ Maxx, Barns & Nobles and other stores and dining options. We have not had a great experience so far. The wait time for orders is long whether it's busy or not. Last time, we tried to mobile order and the app didn't work. The food was great like usual, but they make the milkshakes first which will sit for the amount of time the rest of your order will take to make. Our shakes were half melted. Really hoping that the hype of this location dies down a bit to re-review.

My husband and I stopped in at the new-ish Frankies in Wallingford. The building is small, but the…read morerenovations came out nice and it was very clean. There were a few tables to eat, but we took our meal to-go. Frankies started to get busy quick after we ordered since it was nearing lunch hour on a Sunday. My husband has had Frankies before at another location, looking forward to getting some Chicken Wings--unfortunately, they were out and he pivoted his choice for a Fried Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. I got a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and provolone cheese. We also got Curly Fries and Waffle Fries. The menu is very simple with hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, fried seafood like clam strips or shrimp. There were even lobster rolls and every kind of fry; steak, curly, and waffle! Our food was prepared quickly and held up well since it was to-go. My grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and waffle fries were fine. This Frankies does close early on Sundays at 4:00pm. We will be back at Frankies again, hopefully my husband will get his Chicken Wings next time.

I really enjoyed the mushroom and onion one - I thought I wasn't going to like the seasoning on the actual mushroom and onion but I didn't mind it! The chili one wasn't bad, I just don't think their chili was my cup of tea. I also got a cinnamon toast crunch milkshake and wow was that absolutely delicious! They don't hold back loading it up with the cereal and it had such a good taste, I've never finished a milkshake so fast! I also got their loaded waffle fries were which great too! I love that frankie's has condiment/vegetable bar so you can really custom everything your order to your liking. Looking forward to coming back! Also - I don't even like pickles but whatever pickles they serve are SO GOOD!

The potential is real and I'm rooting for them. If you want a killer chicken parm sammy, go meet Omar and the crew. Totally worth the trip!! Mangia!

The Highlights: * Proportions: Excellent meat-to-topping ratio. They don't skimp on the steak, which is always the biggest test. * Flavor: The cherry peppers added a great kick that cut through the richness of the meat and mayo perfectly. * Quality: A really solid, hearty sandwich that feels worth the order. One Small Note: The full sub comes as one continuous sandwich. If you're looking to split it or just prefer smaller halves, you'll want to grab a knife or ask them to slice it for you, as mine came uncut. Overall, a great lunch spot if you're craving an authentic-feeling Philly. I'll definitely be back!

Krave Cheesesteaks has had a lot of good buzz from the CT Foodie, Blogger and Instagram Community…read more I was recently able to visit for lunch. I live in the Hartford area, Krave certainly has one of the better cheesesteaks within a reasonable driving distance. The seating area has two person tables. They were both full most of the time I was there. Luckily, one was opening up as my cheesesteak was done and I was able to eat there. They could fit one more 2 person table there, and that seems like a good idea from what I saw. Service was friendly. I ordered a cheesesteak, which automatically comes with onions, Cherry peppers, whiz and American Cheese. I added sweet peppers, mushrooms, Mamba Sauce (described as a sweet hot sauce) and mayo. The steak was obviously fresh. It was maybe cut a bit thicker and coarser than many places. My preference would be a touch thinner. I also could have used a bit more seasoning on the steak itself. I was looking forward to the cherry pepper flavor, but it didn't stand out. I wonder if they misunderstood and substituted the sweet peppers for the cherry peppers instead of including both. The bread was about average for a cheesesteak. I think there's an opportunity to level up there. The other toppings were generally good. I've heard good things about the "salmon steak" and the "shrimp steak". I'll possibly be back to try the shrimp steak at some point. 4.25 Stars
