The staff was amazing, very helpful with recommendations and even letting us try some samples before we decided on drinks. There was live music too, which was nice. Lots of space too, which is nice for us because our son is on oxygen and we have to bring his stroller in. We tried the pork belly for appetizer, which was delicious and came out on the cutest presentation. We shared the bacon bbq burger and wings. Everything was delicious. We will definitely come back.

I've had Huskies Tavern (on the other side of campus with the patio) many times before, but this…read morewas my first time visiting the new restaurant & bar location in downtown Storrs. THE FOOD My friend and I decided to go here for the $10 beer & burger lunch special advertised every Tuesday-Saturday. I frequently walk past the sign advertising their deal and when my friend said we should grab lunch I immediately suggested this spot for that reason. It was a Wednesday afternoon at 12:30, but unfortunately we were told we could not have the special since they don't do it on game days. The game wasn't until 7pm but it must be an all day game day thing. Disappointing but we moved on. Grilled chicken sandwich -nicely toasted bun, flavorful seasoned chicken, good aioli. If I came back I would eat it again. -fries were pretty good too. -after paying and looking at the receipt I realized I was charged more for the sandwich than what was printed on the menu (didn't say anything to them) Sweet & sour cauliflower -my friend enjoyed it. Said the sauce was good. They were small baby cauliflowers but a decent sized appetizer for one. Not much for a large table to share but fine for ~2 people. She wanted something small for lunch so it worked out well. THE DRINKS -after not being able to do the deal with the beer my friend went with the angry orchard on tap -I got a screwdriver. It was fine, a basic well drink. Didn't taste the vodka really so not sure how much their standard pour is. THE SERVICE -service was polite, attentive -we were the only ones in there for most of our time, so I'd be curious how service is when they get a bit busier. THE ATMOSPHERE -typical bar/restaurant vibe -nice bar, it seems like a cool place to hang out and watch the game Overall it was a nice lunch catching up with my friend and I'm glad I was able to check out the new location. The food and drinks were good--what you'd expect for a typical bar & restaurant and it's a nice, friendly, clean environment. If someone wanted to go back here I would join but it wouldn't be first on my list to recommend in Storrs Center. I ended up spending about $30 on a lunch I was expecting to spent around $13 on, so I'd say check the game day schedule so you aren't disappointed like us. Overall I'd probably rate this closer to 3.5 stars so I rounded up to 4.

There's a full bar and a little lounge area with sofa seating in the front. There's bar tops and high tops as well. There's ample space in the dining area with booths and tables. Very tidy and clean. The flight of margaritas was delicious with different fruit flavors. Buffalo chicken dip was a great appetizer that could feed a few people. The grilled Cobb salad was AMAZING! I didn't know what dressing I wanted so I got the cucumber wasabi and balsamic vinaigrette on the side. The cucumber wasabi was what intrigued me and it was so delicious. A hint of wasabi flavor but not too much to overpower the palate. I ended up enjoying it more than the balsamic vinaigrette. There was fresh cooked bacon, corn, eggs, grape tomatoes, avocado, cheese, olives and a beautiful mix of greens; all super fresh and delicious. I can't wait to return!

All Around College Drinking Hole…read more Legendary college bar on the UCONN campus. Cold draft beers for cheap, hard shots, and they regularly have live music. Food is out of a warming oven. You stop at this place to douse yourself with body pickling liquids, eat a reheated piece of pizza, and maybe watch a sports event. Ted's knows what is and delivers that to the customers. I will say for a college bar, the bartenders were very attentive and great drink pourers. We were in there during graduation and never waited for a drink.

Even as a vegetarian, I feel like I have plenty of options to choose from. Service is always friendly and helpful, even when asking for substitutions. Their rewards program is great and adds up pretty quickly. Here are some highlights about a few menu items I've tried over the years: - Eggplant parm grinder: delicious, crunchy bread and tons of melted cheese - no longer available, but I really loved their Caesar Veggie Patty sandwich they used to have on a fresh ciabatta roll. I'd get it for takeout all the time during the pandemic, and it was a great meatless option with a unique flavor blend. Please bring this back!! - Tater tot side: tastes like McDonald's hash browns in the best way possible, so light and fluffy. I could probably eat a bucket of these and they were cooked to perfection! - Side salads / any salad: always fresh, and the parmesan peppercorn dressing is my favorite version of it I can get anywhere! - Meatless wings (aka cauliflower bites): tons of sauces to choose from, and a unique offering I don't see often. The portion is huge! I love the parmesan garlic option but they're quite oily, so if you're getting takeout, beware - and have friends to split with because you'll get a ton! Tasty but I never need more than a few pieces worth - great to share. I also got a margarita flight today for their Sunday special, making it only $12 for 3 flavors that you can choose. They were sweet and not too boozy tasting, yet strong, and went down easily - I was impressed! Their beer and drink special menu is always changing and I can always find quality and unique offerings. The only thing I'd wish would be different is the ambiance. It's just always so dang dark in here, it makes me tired and feel like I'm in a much divier place than I am. They also always have this habit of seating you directly across from the one or two other occupied booths, so it feels like your neighbor can hear everything you're saying when it's not as busy. I really hate that and would appreciate more privacy! We also hate when we're seated in the first room by the entrance - it feels like such an afterthought, and sometimes staff is sitting in a booth right near you rolling silverware...just seems like you're not supposed to be there. Some of the booths by the bar are really small, and even when I'm the only one on my side, it feels like I'm about to fall out sideways, so I ask for a larger booth. The food and menu options here are truly great! My family requests to come here often. I just desperately want another light fixture or two and some more personal space while dining. Happy hour specials are also great, but they're not joking when they say you HAVE to sit at the bar for them! (Again a less nice atmosphere when you do that) Thanks for all the yummy memories, RRC, you're a much needed gem in the area!

He chose Willington Pizza House because it's his favorite place to have pizza... and now we know why. I am still in shock that the total bill for 9 hungry college kids and two hungry out-of-town parental units was still under $200. We did have pitchers of cider too - and everyone left with food. Speaking of food - the pizza my husband and I split was cheese, extra cheese, sausage, mushroom, and pepperoni. The crust of the pizza was phenomenal - you don't get a crust like that anywhere in California. Crunchy outside, chewy inside with a slight saltiness -- almost like a fine sourdough... I don't know- it was absolutely delicious. The salad we had was also good, but the pizza is what sticks to my memory - and probably my belly too!
