With that said let me jump into this review the Grinder bread was toasted and fresh what disappointed me was the bacon it was diced up I hate that I love my bacon with full slabs on them I don't know if it's the cheapest way to do this but I absolutely hate diced bacon. The wings were on the small side but they were cooked with perfection not over cooked and dry so that I was absolutely happy with that their Blu cheese didn't have that kick to it was just OK not great and the pizza was good, over all I would it a 3 1/2star rating.

Our server was very attentive and the food was delivered promptly. As a history lover, I loved seeing all the historic photographs on the walls. The building has a very historic feel.

The Spiedini was a great combination of flavors. The bang bang fish wrap was a hearty meal, if a bit one note texturally.

Overall it was a nice lunch stop with polite service.

I'm pretty divided with this review. First I'll start with the highs: when you eat-in the food and…read morethe service is great! Between the many things to look at (including the giant fish tank) there's always something to talk about. The food was good, we both ordered tacos. They were fresh, tasty and beautifully made- it makes you wish there was 3rd taco! The fried green beans with wasabi sauce was delicious as well, and something you never see on a menu. With all of that said, there were a couple of things that threw me off. First off being that you can see right into the men's bathroom if you're looking through the fish tank. Granted it's only the hand wash area but definitely a little odd. My husband was actually able to wave at me through it. I noticed they put a tapestry up for the woman's restroom so you couldn't see through the other tank they have, so it's weird they wouldn't do the same for the men's. But mostly what was disappointing was we had gone back the next weekend for takeout, we ordered the same exact tacos and upon receiving them they weren't the same as what was ordered. Ingredients and toppings were missing and stuff was added that wasn't on the menu. I will say the pizza was great though! But we came back for the tacos and they fell very short. I'm sure we will be back, but takeout won't be an option for us unfortunately.

The Gold BBQ wings were my favorite--crispy, sticky, and packed with flavor. They had the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy without being overpowering. The Buffalo wings were excellent too, with a classic sauce that had just the right amount of heat and a great buttery finish. The wings came out crispy even after being sauced, which is harder to do than most places make it look. Service was friendly, the atmosphere felt like a classic neighborhood tavern, and you can tell they've been doing this for a long time. If you're anywhere near Plainville and like wings, this place is definitely worth the stop. I'll be thinking about those Gold BBQ wings for a while.

So this is the place to go if you enjoy prime rib! The waitstaff has been terrific each time we've had a meal here. There is seating outside on the porch as well as inside. They have a tradition of free peanuts in the shells and people dump the shells on the floor. I can't quite get used to doing that but others do. The chocolate chip skillet sundae is the best. They bring it to the table heated and it is fantastic!

I went on a Saturday around 4:00 and the front part of the restaurant was pretty busy, so I sat in the back where there wasn't as many people. There's a fireplace that is so cozy. I love all the wood too. It did take some time to get waters and menus, but the staff was very nice about the wait. I got a cheese pizza and it was so good! I love a good bubble and there were a few on the crust of the pizza. So good! One of the coolest things was the to go pizza box comes inside out. I had never seen that before, so I asked the waitress if they put the box together wrong and she told me it was one of their signatures!! I love it. I also got a salted caramel espresso martini, which was good. I did enjoy the regular one more though. I always look forward to coming back!

The atmosphere was casual and exactly where ending a long day or beginning a weekend should happen. Clean. Comfortable. Terrific vibe. Liz, today's bartender/server added to the experience. Enjoyed a few things off their very generous Happy Hour menu. Reduced prices and portions - but all of the feel and flavor. Gave me a change to try a range of things in one visit. Can't wait to go back. Of the things I tried, the smoked wings and cole slaw were by far the best. Kielbasa and brisket were good - not fatty - but had a much more mild smoke profile than I anticipated. Not sure how much time they were on the smoker - but delicious. Jerk chicken sandwich was also good. Not spicy. But flavorful. My next trip I'll delve into the Mexican side - with wings all over again. I don't drink alcohol - but the bar scene was perfect. Again, a terrific, laid back, fun place.

I've ordered various menu items from this Pizza Express several times over the last year…read more Everything has always been good, from the pizzas, to the grinders & wraps, to the salads, to the calzones. Can't say I've ever disliked anything, Pizza Express is one of my "Go To Places" for lunch in Torrington when I'm working. Owner & staff are very friendly too. If you do pick up one of their takeout menu pamphlets, I just wanted to state, they do NOT serve Greek style pizza (which is a good thing, I dislike Greek style pizza, for the most part). See my pics below for the style of pies Pizza Express serves.

If you're going to try this pizza, get the plan cheese, or pepperoni pie instead. Another plus side; the staff were very friendly and accommodating.

ORIGIN: Riverton, Connecticut is a popular destination for…read morefly fishing, so it comes as no surprise that the name of the ground floor tavern at the Old Riverton Inn is named after a fly fishing lure -- The Royal Coachman. EXPERIENCE; What did come as a surprise to me was the popularity of this rural tavern on a fall Friday evening and the quality of food and service experienced. Jason P. had reported excellent fish and chips, noteworthy wings, and selection of local beers at the tavern in his review. I ordered the fish and chips alongside the server's suggested Norbrook Farm-brewed Mount Pisgah IPA. The fish and chips dish ($20) was as Jason had described -- "TOP TIER". I look forward to exploring the menu further (although it will be hard to pull me away from the fish and chips). Kudos to the tavern's Head Chef Austin Ouelette and his crew! AMBIANCE: There are three dining areas -- an outdoor patio, a newly renovated, modern dining room, and the original dining room filled with colonial-inspired furniture. TIP: Parking lot size was insufficient the Friday evening I visited, necessitating parking on the shoulder of State Route 20 . This possibility may be circumvented via a visit on an earlier weekday. The tavern is open to visitors and inn guests Wednesday through Sunday.

Their menu has a lot of different options to please everyone in your party. They've got the typical go-to's (burgers, sandwiches, pizza) but then you get into some house made comforts like chicken pot pie and bacon wrapped meatloaf. The service is great, but since it's a pretty small place the waitresses might be pretty busy so just be patient. With that said, seating is fairly limited on a busy Friday/Saturday night or if they are having a special for dinner, so definitely make reservations! We came for late lunch on Saturday and it was fairly quiet. Needless to say, since it's off the beaten path we sometimes forget this gem is here but when we remember we never regret it!
