    Calamari Rings
    Monique R.

    I have eaten at Nick's for years. There chili dogs and seafood are the best. This evening, I went their for a chili dog and some calamari. Samantha took my order. I noticed that she grabbed my hot dog bun without gloves after playing on her phone and touching miscellaneous objects. I asked her to put on gloves. Samantha proceeded to throw things and talk to me in a condescending manner. I decided to cancel my order. The young man, part owner, intervened and offered to finish making my order. Samantha continues to be disrespectful. The young man tells Samantha to go to the back. She refuses and continues to talk. The female owner, according to Samantha, comes to the register and asks what she walked in on, and Samantha replies, "I was only changing my gloves." The man yells and tells her she doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. At this point, I am done. They offered me a full refund but I refused. I take my food and leave. Again, I have eaten at this establishment numerous times. Samantha cost them a faithful customer. I will NEVER eat at Nick's again. She took something such as wearing gloves to somewhere it didn't need to go. Maybe the health inspector needs to pay them a visit. To the owners who tried to resolve the situation....I appreciate you, but your employee is going to cost you more in the long run. To Samantha, one day, your big mouth and nasty attitude is going to get you in a lot of trouble.

    NOW A CAR HOP ! ! ! #ADAPTiIMPROVISEiOVERCOME  #OURAHCoV ID #19. Safe social distancing. Order ahead, wait in your car.

    Meat and Co is a creative sandwich shop in New Haven's upscale East Rock Market Food Hall. If you…read morenotice the sign, you'll see they've rotated the lower case "a" in "Meat" so it's upside down. Think of it as a culinary warning that they don't do things the normal way. I've had two sandwiches from Meat and Co. on two separate visits in 2025. The first was the Haute Tuna Melt. The tuna salad itself was good. It has some hot pepper and chive flavor. The tuna sandwich was on a panini-pressed ciabatta roll. I prefer some type of grilled sliced bread, which I think is more common, for a tuna melt. But that's fine. The biggest miss for me was the cheese. The American Cheese was not at all melted. So it's really just a tuna fish sandwich with American Cheese, Lettuce and Tomato. Good for what it was, but it wasn't a Tuna Melt. The second was The Rick Reuben. It must be more "Rick" than "Reuben". because it is the least "Reuben" Reuben sandwich I've ever had. It had pastrami, which is acceptable for a Reuben. That was about it. Instead of kraut, they had a mild red cabbage slaw. Instead of Swiss, they had cheddar. Instead of grilled rye bread, it was on a long panini-pressed pretzel roll. Admittedly, I didn't pay careful attention to the menu description because Reubens usually fall into one of a small number of types, and I like them all. Although, the online menu I saw did not reference the pretzel roll. This sandwich was too far away from any accepted form of Reuben to be called a Reuben. If it had been called a Pretzel Pastrami Melt, which is far more accurate, I wouldn't have ordered it. It was fine for it was. The pastrami was average though. Given how much I like the other East Rock Market vendors, I'm unlikely to return. If you go, pay close attention to the menu and maybe ask questions. 3.25 Stars

    I was excited to find out that there was a panini shop near me and I want on 1/2/26 a Friday night…read moreat 6 pm and the person working there seems like he did not want to work! He was in his phone the whole time. I asked if it was a panini and he said "no, ciabatta". I ordered a Voodoo chicken which was supposed to be spicy but it was disappointing with no flavor . My husband ordered a steak and cheese and the steak was cheap cut mostly gristly. Our paninis were not toasted, COPD AND HARD BREAD and I'm not sure why as they have the equipment to do it. We also ordered fries but the person refused to make them and said " I don't have any ready ". Okay but can you get some ready? He was extremely lazy and didn't want to work. Cold hard ciabatta with sub par ingredients. $40!! 2 sandwiches. We will not be back . Extremely poorly managed. Lazy employee and sub par ingredients.

    Excellent food - stayed close by for 3 nights and ended up coming back here every day to try out…read moredifferent things on the menu. I do not regret it. If you like chicken sandwiches and you like Indian style of cooking and spices, you will like this. Ambiance and service is fine, but not the reason to go here.

    I found this place while randomly looking on DoorDash. They had a happy hour special, so I decided…read moreto check them out. If you enjoy the flavors of Indian food as well as one of those quick service, hot chicken restaurants you probably would enjoy Hot Murga. The chicken sandwich comes in five spice levels from no heat to super hot. I got the standard hot, and it has some kick, but it wasn't overpowering. Then again I enjoy spicy food. I also ordered their spiced mac & cheese. Again, not spicy at all, but flavorful. Also a good portion as I have leftovers for later. I had my food delivered, but this establishment is close to the Yale campus and street parking can be a bit tricky on Howe St. and around Broadway. I've been inside of the space once when it was a different restaurant some years ago, it's not a large space, but I'm pretty sure comfortable if you decided to dine in. If you ever find yourselves at a crossroad between wanting Chick-fil-A and Indian food, this would be a great alternative.
