The food quality here is solid.(first time at THIS location)…read more My 'Shackburger' was fresh and cooked perfectly. However, they seemed drowned in orders during a Thursday evening rush. A 30 minute wait is wild, and it threw off the food timing. The fries were made too early and sat around getting cold, and the milkshake lacked that thick consistency. It felt like I was drinking flavored milk. Shoutout to the employee who brought our food and apologized for the delay. Overall, the staff are nice and the food is good. They just need to figure out how to manage a crowd without letting the food timing slide.

Drove up to the drive thru and was greeted with the girl that handled the drive thru area and she noticed my dog in the car and automatically gave me a treat for my dog.

Thank you shack shake for caring for our fur baby.

Just in time for your home delivery needs come the good folks at the Hartbeat Kitchen. On a weekly…read morebasis they will deliver fresh and fully prepped meals right to your doorstep in the metropolitan Hartford area and the city of New Haven. Check their website to see if your town makes the cut. Orders must be submitted by Saturday night to receive Monday delivery. These are healthy low-calorie and low carb meals. We ordered four entrees, and nothing exceeded 425 calories. In fact, two were in the 300's and one was below 300. Combine the convenience factor, the variety of options, the reasonable cost, and the health factor, you get a lot of pretty good reasons to order some meals from Hartbeat. So how does it work? Well their menu changes weekly, but entrees run $10 or $12 and these are some typical choices: Chicken Tenders, Cauliflower Mash, Braised Spinach Chicken, Bacon, Sweet Potato Hash Deconstructed Fish Tacos Pesto Chicken Pasta Pesto Shrimp Paleo Shepherd's Pie Shrimp and Broccoli Simple Salmon Simple Steak Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Wedges over Greens They also sell "components" for $3-$5 you can either add to a meal or use as a base for a meal you prepare - think side orders of Garlic Green Beans, Herbed Chicken Breast, Roasted Broccoli, Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Salmon, and Smashed Potatoes. This week I saw a soup on the menu (Red Curry Glass Noodle Soup) for $6 that must be a new addition because I didn't see it last week. For our inaugural order, we selected four entrees - Chicken Tenders with Cauliflower Mash & Braised Spinach, a Chicken, Bacon and Sweet Potato Hash, Deconstructed Fish Tacos, and Sweet Chili Glazed Salmon. I had the tacos and the salmon, and I thought they were excellent. I was a little skeptical about reheating fish in the microwave, but the instructions were spot on (I went on the low side of the time range) and they came out great. The sides and sauces were all very good too. My entrees came with a variety of string beans, riced cauliflower, black beans, and cole slaw. The sweet chili glaze for the salmon fillet was outstanding! You'll have to buy a nice insulated red bag for $10 with your first order. It comes with 2 freezer packs and will become your delivery point for future orders. Well done Hartbeat !! Welcome to our rotation.

Hartbeat Kitchen is an absolute life/marriage saver for working individuals, couples, and…read morefamilies--particularly those that have weird dietary needs. Owner Nancy Boone's food ranges from gluten-free to dairy-free to fully paleo, and each week the menu rotates enough to both access your favorites and keep things interesting. She sources from local farmers, so if you're in CT she provides a much more sustainable service than out-of-state food meal delivery services. Nancy continuously collects feedback about the meals and you can actually see the meals change slightly in response to that feedback--it's always getting a little better! Nancy designed the service to help working families--twice now I haven't gotten my order in on time, and she's accommodated me to the best of her ability so that I could still get a delivery. While I DON'T recommend forgetting to place your order on time (that makes her life a little harder), I've been so appreciative of her flexibility during these crazy and stressful times.

Good local bakery with traditional and exotic baked goods…read more I come to Carlitos on the occasion for a cupcake or slice of cheesecake. I personally am not a major fan of filled cupcakes, but sometimes I do appreciate a pudding filled pure decadence cupcake. The crumb is tender, the frosting is plentiful, and the price is reasonable. Sometimes the selection can be a bit limited, but it's still a very solid bakery for the area. One of the better places in the area for a sweet treat.

This by far is the best bakery I have EVER went to. Let me give you a quick back story. The cake…read morefeatured in the photo was for a bridal shower. This was the second cake the Carlitos bakery made for the shower because I DROPPED THE FIRST ONE! I picked the first cake and within 15 minutes a dropped it getting out the car. I called Carlitos immediately! Not only did the owner graciously made another, but most importantly, the cake was for an event the very next day! The miracle and patience this woman had was commendable. Needless the day the service is 10/10! The food: JESUS! I've used Carlitos before the bridal shower. She made a cake for my sisters birthday and some pastries for a friend's event. The mini cheese cake sups are delectable! Mouth watering and the perfect portion. The quesitos are rich and fluffy. The atmosphere: Inviting. It feels like friendship. Like a home. Almost like Sunday mornings at your aunts house or grandmas. The place is clean and warm. The display cases are full and very tempting! Pricing: BEYOND fair. When I dropped the cake she charged me less than the first one. Please stop by and give the wonder small business some love!

You won't find a better thick crust at any pizza place in a ten mile radius (and, I have checked). The space is a bit small, but it works. The bartender that seems to always be there is a standout among bartenders. There's a karaoke night that's fun to watch and is populated by good-natured, supportive locals just hanging out and enjoying themselves

Food isn't bad but also isn't great. Typical pizzeria with other options. Buffalo wings were tasty…read moreand well sauced. Meatballs are a little bland but a sprinkle of salt fixed it. Pizzas are thin crust and okay. Service was fine. I wish some servers would just bring over a refilled soda when they see that we're running low. It gives that attention to detail finesse. Having said that, we requested multiple refills during our dining experience. Ambiance is chill. Everything is mostly black and red. I can't say the metal chairs are comfortable but the booths are! Given there's so many pizza places to choose from, especially in Vernon, I probably would return to this establishment.

My husband and I order delivery from here often, so it's about time I leave a review…read more We love that we can get a pizza along with something other than just the typical grinder or wings. Hummus, babaganoush, dolma, kebabs and more! We usually order the lahambil ajeen as a little snack. It's a nice tiny snack to have between bites, plus you get some tzatziki which we like to dip everything in! The chicken ranchero pizza is our favorite pizza there. Thin crust (my preference) that's chewy and flavorful. I'm usually not a big fan of chicken on pizza but theirs is chopped up finely which I really like! The shawafel grinder is awesome! Juicy chicken thigh with falafel and a bit of tahini. The bread they use is awesome as well. Definitely a great place to try if someone wants the usual pizza order and someone wants something a little different!

If you come here, stick to the Mediterranean entrees. The chicken shawarma and grilled chicken is pretty decent especially if you only eat halal. If you are not limited to eating halal, there are better places to get a char grilled/rotisserie chicken. The rice that comes with the grilled chicken is pretty good and the falafel isn't bad either. Plenty of parking in the lot.

I honestly love every ShopRite I've visited. Groceries are so expensive these days, and ShopRite…read moreconsistently offers the best value and an impressive selection. I also shop at the store where you have to put a deposit in for the shopping cart , and while I like it too, the selection is smaller and there are a lot of off-brand products. At ShopRite, I'm always amazed by the variety and quality of what's available. Just last week, I needed coffee and found my favorite Keurig K-Cups. They usually cost $12.99 for an 8-count box at other local stores, but ShopRite had them for $9.99 regular price and only $6.99 on sale. Deals like that really add up. The store is always clean, the bakery is top-notch, and the prices are noticeably better than many other grocery stores in the area. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I wasn't registered for a ShopRite shopper account at the time and couldn't receive the additional discounts. Personally, I think everyone should get the best price automatically. Some other stores even let cashiers scan a store card so customers can still receive sale pricing. That said, I'm registered now and ready to keep a little extra money in my pocketbook. Keep up the great work, ShopRite!

One thing I have learned in life is the best food comes from the oddest looking places. I spent…read moreyears traveling down south. The best BBQ was always in some old repurposed gas station, picnic tables and brown paper on plastic trays. Well TACO is like that. it's located in a small building on Rte 32, just south of the old firestation (eagleville). When you walk in there are no tables, just chairs. There is a wall that has various hot sauces, napkins, plastic ware. A hand written sign with the food options and maybe a computer printed sign specifying a special. DO NOT LET THIS FOOL YOU. One bite of any of their Tacos or Burritos and you will be hooked. Beef options are all made with Grass Fed beef from a local farm just a few miles north. All of the produce is local and organic too. He smokes all of meats he uses himself. $18 for a beef Burrito! YES! and worth every penny, because when you lift it out of the bag, and realize that you don't have one meal but two... it is a bargen. I have had the Beef, Chicken and Mahi Mahi offerings and they are all delicious and memorable. You will find it difficult to enjoy a taco or burrito anywhere else, I have not found anywhere locally that stacks up to them. (Taco La Rosa (Willimantic) is close... but....) if you are in the area on Sundays the owner has been up at Green's Spring Hill farm on Route 32 in Mansfield making breakfast sandwiches with all that farm fresh awesomeness.
