    Supposedly white meat chicken with a plethora of vegetables

    Trust me if I could give 0 stars I definitely would!!!! I was really looking forward to ordering Chinese food today ! I usually always order from Infinity buffet in Norwich but didn't feel like driving there so I decided to try Empire wok in Groton ( first bad move ! My daughter swears by them soooo I'm off to see the wizard! Go there and see that they are still in Covid lockdown (really?) I should have turned and ran! Anyway really wanted some white meat chicken breast with extra bean sprouts she assured me that there would be extra bean sprouts and oodles of broccoli carrots celery ok then that is a wrap! I also ordered a small bbq ribs well then, I paid and went home very excited I might add ! Got in and of course I had to taste it I have been on this planet for 68 years and never have I ever had rice disapate in my mouth and I bit into the egg roll and it collapsed seriously! Ok try the chicken laden with bean sprouts and the taste is absolutely flat not even soy sauce helped by now I'm thinking the freaking supper I need to make ok so I took a picture here goes long story short don't go

    Best Chinese food in Groton. I have been eating here for 10 years and I am never disappointed. They are fast and most of the time their delivery time is faster then other places around here/

    Best place to get Chinese food in Groton. We love the House special fried rice, General Tso, and Spicy beef.

    Amazing service, reasonably priced food, and a calmer environment to chat and digest it all in :)…read more I really loved our server (I believe her name was Jess)! She was so kind and attentive; she even brought out a second serving of the complimentary bread which was soft, warm, and fresh. Delicious with their olive oil! Food: - gnocchi: this came piping hot and I liked it! very generous portion but I felt like the tomato sauce tasted a bit off or was missing something. - tortellini: this was stellar. We got it with the pesto which I definitely think is the move. So flavorful and dense! Flavor packed.

It is the epitome of the…read morelocal New England pizza joint, a small storefront place with tables spread across a couple of rooms. The menu is true Italian community food. The service was excellent, especially since we were a party of six and descended on the place unannounced. My wife and I did order pizzas - she ordered the shrimp and artichoke pizza and I ordered the Margarita pizza. She loved her choice and gave it a score of ten out of ten. I gave my Margarita pizza a four out of ten and think that that was generous. My complaints - the crust was quite wimpy, undercooked, and the entire pizza was overpowered by the basal pesto! I have never had basil pesto, or any other pesto, on a pizza! I will give the Recovery Room another chance and will try the Margarita pizza again. But, I will ask for fresh basil and be specific that the pesto is not to contaminate the pizza. My long experience with pizza making is that they must be cooked on a stone and the oven must be 500F or higher to get the crust the way I like it. The Recovery Room most likely takes its name from the Lawerence Memorial Hospital which is just a couple of blocks away from the restaurant.

They make their own blend of house teas which are delicious. It's a small spot that has both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are all very friendly. We ordered the mushroom toast, house breakfast sandwich and two dark chocolate glazed sourdough donuts (which are made to order). This was our second visit of the weekend and everything was delicious both times. Definitely adding to our Rolodex of places to return to and highly recommend!

So that means everyone loves Nana's. Which means that, on a very rainy weekend early afternoon, we ended up waiting quite a long time to order and then to get our food but ... I suppose it was worth it (this is high praise coming from someone who almost never believes waiting in a long line is actually worth it). My friend and I split the spicy Caesar kale salad as a starter. I cracked up when I saw "massaged kale" as one of the ingredients. But all jokes aside, this was one of the best kale salads with abundant dressing and, in lieu of croutons, breadcrumbs and cashew parmesan. It tasted pretty indulgent and rich but you can certainly fool yourself into thinking it's actually healthy. I got the tomato sandwich plus bacon (so a BLT without the L) and it was pretty good, though I do wish they cut the bread a little thinner so I could pick it up and eat it as a sandwich. As it were, I just used my knife and fork - certainly more civilized. The pizza was also not bad, though I wish there were some more of the toppings - heard it's leagues better than Mystic Pizza. There are a few tables inside but be prepared to wait. When it was peak rush hour, there were two lines inside, one for the bathroom and one to place an order. Even though they were so slammed, the staff couldn't be friendlier. Our waitress in particular came by often to see how we were doing. Parking lot also filled up. We parked in the Mystic train station and then walked over.
