This is my second time here! The restaurant is located at 160 Glastonbury Blvd, Glastonbury, CT…read more This place is clean and classy for a burger restaurant. The silverware is spotless. I love the really huge booth! I like the vegan options too! To start it out, I'm having a Saratoga sparkling water. I've never seen the smaller, plastic bottle versions. I like this stuff! They serve seasoned popcorn as a complementary item. That's different. It's quite fresh and very good! For my first drink, I'm having a Cosmopolitan. This is made with Tito's Vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur and a little lemon juice. I like the floating dried lime wheel garnish. Nice glass. This tastes perfect! For my first item, I'm having the Caesar Salad. This is made with little gems lettuce, shaved Parmesan (light), brioche croutons and Caesar dressing (light). Well, it's not tossed so I think I scared the cook when I wanted light dressing. Croutons are nice and soft. I like the dressing. This is good! For my next item, I'm having the Beyond Chicken Nuggets. These are eight nuggets. I've never had these before! I'm having the Mango Szechuan sauce and the Szechuan dry rub. Let's see what this tastes like! These are good! I taste sweetness but not very spicy. For my entree (burger), I'm having the The Great Beyond Combo. This is a burger made with Beyond Italian Sausage, pickled jalapeño, raw red onion (raw? Who the heck actually cooks it?) and Dijon aioli on a sesame seminal hero. I want it as spicy as possible. The Combo includes an order of cole slaw. It is all served on a warm, green metal plate. The cole slaw is served in a cold little bowl. I like it! I can taste the heat of the sandwich. Well, a little of it. It tastes great though! Yummy! For my last drink, I'm having a Chai Old Fashioned made with Evan Williams bourbon, chai, sugar (do they actually muddle a sugar cube? Nah!) and Angostura bitters. This is different! Chai and bourbon! It is served in a big, huge glass with a single, large, square ice cube to slow the dilution process. Great garnish! A star anise! If you eat it, there is a licorice taste. That's very original! Good job! What a great meal here!

Goldburgers is one of the few spots that I can say gave excellent customer service. I was too distracted by their large and appealing menu to get the gentleman's name (that I assume was the owner) but he welcomed us in and gave us recommendations. They have a pretty good space if you're looking to eat in. One thing I will say is that it was quite chilly in the establishment. The kind man served us food with ketchup and picked out napkins for us. Had a solid convo with him talking about a food challenge they had when they first opened up 10+ years ago! Burgers were amazing! Definitely a solid sized patty. Bun is sesame galore. I got the mushroom steakhaus - 9/10. What would've made the extra point? A bigger basket. Boy are those burgers big! It made it pretty hard to grab. The fries are with no competition the best burger fries I've ever had. Thank you Goldburgers! P.S. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BRING BACK A CHALLENGE!!!

We were looking for a place to eat after a morning of softball games. Artisanal Burger Company…read morecaught my eye. I was curious about what constitutes "artisanal". Ambience: they have a spacious contemporary dining room and a separate bar section complete with TV screens all over the place. Food: we ordered: Calamari - the portion size was average, but the squid pieces were small in size. 4/5 Pastrami Reuben - this was a bit too salty and oily. 2/5 Dry Age Burger - this was really good. The funkiness of the dry age flavor came through. The burger was moist and hit the spot. 5/5 Onion Rings - 4 jumbo fried rings of oniony goodness. 5/5 Service: super friendly and nice.

Stopped by the Artisanal Burger Company last night after the movies and was immediately impressed…read morewith the appearance and the greeting we received. The ambiance was bright and lively (complete with a hearty crowd watching the England vs. France World Cup match), and our hostess was kind, welcoming, and sat us quickly with a smile. Our waitress was great. She noted to us that she was new and training, but you would have never known as she was extremely attentive, thorough, helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. Our food arrived quickly, and each meal was cooked exactly as ordered. We had two Return of the Mac burgers - which were thoroughly enjoyed, a French Onion Soup that was delicious, a French Dip that was tremendous, a wonderful Southwest Salad, and I had the Teriyaki Bowl that was also outstanding. The price for our dinner for 6 was more than reasonable, and we received a great deal of value for the cost. Our waitress was also extremely helpful in helping us bag up our leftovers as most of our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, having filled up on popcorn at the movies. :) In all, a great experience....Service, value, food all combined to provide a great end to our family night. We will definitely return.

I'm back! Welcome to Carmine's! The restaurant is located on 389 Main St. in East Hartford. It's…read morecold in here! The temperature has got to be 55 degrees (the way Carmine likes it). I live the nice music in here. It's very livel! It's Happy Hour from 3-7 on weekdays (food) and all day for drinks on Monday! The kitchen here makes everything built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. The appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed their kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! Not every place can say that! For my first drink, I'm having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. Wait a minute! These are the same ingredients as a Perfect Manhattan! This is chilled, well balanced and nicely garnished. I like it! For my first food item, I'm having a House Salad (small, off-menu version). This is made with a spring mix including basil, tomatoes, julienned carrots, cucumbers and a red wine vinaigrette dressing. This is nice and fresh! I love the dressing! I like the nice cloth napkin as well as a disposable one. The bartender is the nicest one I've ever met. For my next item, I'm having the Rigatoni Marinara. The is made with rigatoni and house marinara sauce. It's low cholesterol and guilt-free (for me). This is steaming hot and delicious! Nice portion size too! For my next item, I'm having a cup of soup. This is broccoli cheddar with potato. Oh yeah! I love those oyster crackers! This is yummy! For my next drink, I'm having the Pratt n Whiskey made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. I love it! It's shaken well and tastes great! For my next food item, I'm having the Carmine's Secret Tenderloins. These are actually pan seared caramelized CHICKEN tenderloins made with wine, olive oil, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, shredded Parmesan and a VERY special secret sauce. I can eat this with little regret. This should be interesting! This is quite good! I do like that creamy sauce! For my dessert, I'm having the Toasted Almond. This is soaked in Amaretto layered with light custard and topped with crushed almond. Oh yeah! Look at the presentation! This is fantastic! What a great meal here!

Hamburger and Grilled Chicken is what you would expect it to be and I enjoyed them . What really is special about the place is it's family run with the salad place next to it. You get the feeling that your business is appreciated. You always get a warm welcome and thanked for stopping by. It's the small things. Lastly it's located in the State House Square food court which can be loud if it's full but this day had a nice quiet feel to eat to enjoy a peaceful meal.
