    Spinach Artichoke Dip
    Anjelica S.

    This place is seriously never a miss. Every time I come here, it hits the mark no exceptions. The burgers are hands down some of the best I've had, always cooked perfectly and full of flavor. And the spinach and artichoke dip? Absolutely addictive. It's creamy, well-seasoned, and just the right balance of cheesy and savory. The ambience is another reason I keep coming back. It has such a great vibe , welcoming, and perfect whether you're going out with friends or just want a solid meal in a good atmosphere. And I have to mention the waitressing is always on point. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely makes the experience even better. You can tell they care about the customers. Overall, this spot never disappoints. Consistently amazing food, great energy, and top-tier service every single time.

    Loaded tots
    Brianna V.

    I went here with a large group and the service was great. They have plenty of room to accommodate us and the food/drinks came out quickly. There is a lot of different parking in the area but can be a pain when busy. I got the loaded tots for an appetizer which were great. They were flavorful and a bit spicy. I got a chocolate milkshake, which was delicious. It wasn't too heavy to drink with my meal. I ordered the cauliflower shawarma bowl, which was very flavorful. The prices were generally reasonable for the area

    Mouthwatering burgers!! Their food was hands down amazing, I had their loaded baked potato soup as an app and it was delicious! Our server was attentive, and it was a very clean dining area! A couple critiques we did have was my burger was ordered medium however was more medium rare, and there was a natural gas/propane smell that we mentioned to the employees. Overall would come again but I would order medium well and I'll bring a gas meter (only joking there could've been an ulterior explanation for that smell).

    Outdoor patio

    What a burger! Our mid-afternoon lunch at Max Burger was delish! The Maple Whiskey burger was layered with flavor-a special maple whiskey sauce, blue cheese, caramelized onions, arugula and applewood smoked bacon. The drippy moist burger was cooked perfectly medium. Loved the skin on fries, too. Everyone at our table was raving. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside on their large outdoor patio, too. They have beer, wine and spiked milkshakes! I hope to be able to return one day!

    Umami burger . First , the pickle were incredible and I hate pickles . They were sweet unlike regular pickles . Burger was delicious!

    This location is huge ! Lots of seating . They do have family style seating that accommodate up to 20 people . Our waitress was awesome . Very attentive! Good came out fast and piping hot . We loved everything we ordered . Not one complaint ! Drinks are expensive but well poured ! You won't be disappointed.

    Happy. Hour drinks as of November 2025

    Service was good - we sat at the bar to take advantage of happy hour . Hubby got the burger - good choice always ! My nachos were a little boring but we were just popping in for a beverage. Next time I would probably order from the regular menu. In general, always reliable and many times exceptional. Not sure why I fail to review this place so often -likely because it is an institution that doesn't need reviews

    Blackened shrimp tacos
    Michelle C.

    Ordered the blackened shrimp tacos minus the lime -cilantro slaw (not a cilantro fan). I did choose the cole slaw as my side and added to the tacos...so good! Our waiter was very friendly. The kitchen did miss sending out some condiments my family asked for but our server corrected it quickly. Also had the Seasonal Sangria which I enjoyed but it was a bit too sweet ...just my opinion though. My daughter who likes sangria said it was good.

    Grilled Cheese
    Rachel B.

    How do you change the french fries? They were perfect. Delicious. A staple item.. worth every calorie. Now... bland, possibly frozen, would rather get broccolini as a side. The grilled cheese is still decent.. Sorry MB.. you were always 5 stars for me but I never wrote a review. Changing the fries did you dirty

    The All American Burger
    Kevin W.

    Great burger spot in west Hartford that serves various styles of burgers or custom made to order. I got the All American burger on a pretzel roll with truffle fries and it was delicious. Burger was perfectly cooked to order, fries were well seasoned, and all of the other food on the menu looked good as well. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant with some light music playing, everything was clean, and service was exceptional as well. Look forward to returning and trying more of the menu.

    Big Kahuna Burger and Eggplant Fries
    Ben S.

    I've been here two or three times before, but never reviewed or took photos. We went on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy but we didn't have a wait and food came out quick enough. My wife' dared to order a salad at a burger restaurant but it was very good. I stuck with a classic beef burger. I love pineapple on a burger (pizza too for that matter). Eggplant fries were some of the best I've ever had. Wish I lived closer so I could come back more often.

    Used to be one of my go to restaurants. The amount of times this place has changed their menu is insane. I get changing it up seasonally but they never bring any items back. One of my all time favorite items was their short rib taco last year and it is nowhere to be found again. So sad. I at least thought they'd bring it back for summer! Most recently we came because we know their hand cut fries are amazing. Shockingly enough our entrees came out with clearly frozen fries. The menu still says hand cut fries. Staff told us yes they definitely are not hand cut anymore. Really unsure why this decision was made. In addition, I asked for the chicken swarma wrap on a Friday night at 5:30pm and was told they had zero wraps left so I had to get a completely different entree. Unfortunately, not sure anything on the menu really will bring me back.

    Korean Burger
    Kim V.

    I've been here a couple of times now and both times were great. The service was quick, friendly, and fast. The food came out looking and tatsing delicious. I've only dined outside on their spacious patio because the weather was great. They had the heater blasting which I requested to to be turned down because it was burning my head, other patrons agreed. I started off with a Saturday fun day glass of their Green Mind Avocado Margarita, yes, you read that right; avocado mixed into a margarita, very interesting but it worked. The drink was on the smaller side for $13 and change but it was good and I could taste the slight creaminess of the avocado. They had a good sized cocktail menu and a variety of craft beers. On this most recent visit, I had the Korean BBQ burger. OMG, juicy and flavorful; it had gochujang mayo, kimchi, onion straws, and Korean BBQ sauce. The fries were crunchy and seasoned well. I wished there were more pickled cucumber slices because those were BANGIN'. Overall, a great experience at lunch and can't wait to try out their other burgers.

My baby is 11 months old and she goes "Mmmm" when she tasted the spoonful of Mac & Cheese, soul rice and collard greens.

PROS: Top notch customer service, flavorful, interactive self order kiosk, clean interior, great music and visually appealing wall art & food presentation. CON: Limited off street parking due to a small and busy commercial area, and I'd like to see a couple kiddie high chairs now that I'm a new mommy I notice the need. Great place! Try it and bring your family.

    I kept hearing about this soul food spot, so while I was in the Wethersfield area, I decided to…read morestop by and see what the hype was about; Soul Bowl's Restaurant. I later found out they have other locations as well. When I arrived, I noticed this is more of a grab-and-go spot. There is no seating area for dining in, just a small waiting area with a couple of chairs. Parking is street parking, so keep that in mind when stopping by. I ordered in person, and I have to say the service was quick! Within about seven minutes, my food was ready. As soon as you walk in, you can see the menu and even see the kitchen area, which I always appreciate because you can get a feel for how your food is being prepared. The employee who greeted me was very friendly and welcoming. You can also order online. I ordered the seasoned rice, shrimp, mac & cheese, and collard greens bowl. First impression... the bowl looked beautiful and was put together very nicely. Everything looked fresh and appetizing. The shrimp was sautéed in a garlic sauce and had great flavor. The mac & cheese was definitely a highlight, very cheesy! When I put my fork into it, the cheese stretched and expanded the way you hope a good mac & cheese will. The collard greens were good, although I'll be honest, I've had better. They still complemented the bowl and added that classic soul food feel. At first glance, I thought, "Is this going to be enough?" But after eating it, I was completely satisfied and full. The portion was actually just right. The price was reasonable and within the range of what many restaurants are charging today. What makes this place stand out to me is that it tastes homemade and I love fresh food made with care. My only suggestion: PLEASE consider adding cornbread to the menu (hopefully soon ). A piece of cornbread would complete this bowl meal perfectly! Overall, I would definitely recommend Soul Bowl's. Great flavors, quick service, friendly staff, and that homemade comfort-food feeling. I'm already curious to try more from their menu! What should I try next?

I was here years ago, I can't remember what I had, but it was tasty, the service was friendly and the place was busy. This time my experience was entirely different. It wasn't very busy at all, there were around two tables occupied, yet the service was very slow. The menu had omelettes, waffles, etc. I was intrigued by the Home Fry Bowls. This dish features their fries, with (in my case) turkey and pear slices, topped with scrambled egg. An interesting combination of ingredients. This was made very sloppily. The turkey was an entire thin slice of turkey from Aldi. It was not cut, just thrown into the bowl. How do I know it was from Aldi? I saw them receive an Aldi order while I was waiting 40 minutes for my food. I don't have a problem with Aldi, I shop there myself. It does make me wonder how much of this meal was made in house? Or was everything purchased frozen or prepackaged? My bowl honestly wasn't very fresh or very impressive in the slightest. It was indeed a very large portion. My guest had the tuna sandwich, with fries. He inquired about the fries, our server told us they were indeed frozen. He was not impressed by the sandwich either. It is unfortunate that there's a large sign stating "Good Home Cooking". Maybe it was factual at one point, unfortunately right now it seems like a marketing ploy to get customers through the door. I cannot recommend dining here. On a side note, their plates are not blue.

But first, walking into The Charles is a step back into time yet still fresh and intentional. Plenty to look at all around the restaurant. The layout of even the bar is nice with seats by the windows and plenty of TVs playing the games without being disruptive. The building is gorgeous, well kept, and I can see how this restaurant gets packed quickly! But back to the gluten free crab cake. I would have loved some slightly larger chunks of crab, it was the crispy texture on the outside and soft inside that made my heart melt. The cakes sat lightly on an aioli and beside some greens, and each bit was delectable and delicious. Lovely appetizer. I also have the octopus basquaise, and I loved it. The potatoes needed just a smidge more seasoning and were sitting in oil, but I cared not, because it was an oil with Kalamata olives and tart, and how lovely it all was together. The octopus was nicely cooked and tender and not greasy. The potatoes were a lovely vessel, and the aioli was not too overpowering. A delicious fish overall. The service was great, friendly, and you can tell they love their regulars. Everyone was on the move at all times and overall very efficient and kind. Tons of gluten free dishes naturally. I loved coming to The Charles and look forward to coming back later this week to try their actual dishes. But if the entrees are even close to as good as the appetizers, I'm sure it will all be delicious!
