Nachos

This is a nicer burger spot with thick and flavorful burgers. The seating areas consists of two rooms, one with all booths the other with tables and a bar. The server was attentive and kind. The bathrooms were tight and not very accessible.

burger salad
Morgan B.

Had a burger salad for lunch today at Plan B and it was very tasty! We got pickles as a starter (think like bread at an Italian restaurant) and it was such a cute idea, and delicious! Our food was cooked as expected, and our server was super friendly and professional, but funny. Would recommend if you're looking for a chill environment and a great burger.

Burger sliders

I tried this Plan B on a Friday night expecting a busy night with some wait time. I was surprised to be seated pretty much immediately. Nice window seat in bar area. Our service was very prompt once seated. We ordered a couple of cocktails Grape kool aid and a toasted almond. kool aid drink was very good. The restaurant had good selection of Bourbons as the restaurant name implies PLAN B burgers and bourbons. The ambiance was mellow this Friday night. I did note that they normally have a DJ on Friday nights after 10 PM. We had no intention of hanging that late so I can't comment on entertainment. We opted to just order main courses this evening. The menu is focused on burgers so my gf ordered sliders while wanted something different so I opted for a fiesta bowl. Bowl consisted of basmati rice with tomatoes, jalapeños, avocados tortilla, aioli and chicken for protein. I would've liked some beans but not included. Burgers temps have 2 levels "pink" and "no pink. " sides for burgers are never ending variety of fried potatoes she opted for tater tots. Burger was good although slightly undercooked. Fiesta bowl was good w arriving jalapeños with seeds so it had some kick which was fine by me. Parking at this location can be very challenging because so many businesses in complex. So just be prepared to hunt for a spot. There is a parking garage tucked away in rear of parking lot you can sometimes find spots behind the plaza. I would like to rate 3.5 but didn't want to low ball them.

I kept on hearing about Plan B since they have multiple locations; the following towns/cities has one, Simsbury, Hartford, Milford, Southington, Springfield, and West Hartford. We decided to get lunch here and were very pleased. The service was spot on and the food was great. The interior was clean and spacious. I wasn't craving burgers so I ordered the Shepards pie; it had corn, ground beef, mashed potatoes, tomatoes, rosemary, gravy, and frizzled onions. The meal was huge and flavorful! I really loved the frizzled onions, it complemented the dish very well. Also, I had their b-berry cocktail, the menu says it tastes like juice but feels like vodka; it's house-made blueberry infused vodka and it was amazing! I did not taste the alcohol at all, which could be dangerous after a few of them. What I love about the place was, it's kid-friendly. There were a ton of options to choose from. The service was quick and friendly. Overall, a great experience with food and drinks and can't wait to go back to try their burgers, which is what they're known for.

Solid burger joint with a more upscale sportsbar feel. I built my own burger - very good, but could have been juicer. Fries also good. What I like about this place is that they have a nice selection of local craft beer on tap. Service from the bartender was excellent!

Sadly, must downgrade the usually cool Plan B experience to 3 stars. They keep monkeying with the great happy hour and it just keeps getting worse! I came last month for my birthday and it was still pretty decent. I documented this in the photos. Espresso martini, 3 fish tacos for $4, yummy desserts... Now tonight a month later, it totally stunk from chintzy & cheap menu changes. First--no more cute little gratis pickled cukes to start. Why?! Then, instead of the three awesome little tacos, they served ONE each--I kid you not! Same price as the last month for THREE?! Also, raised prices for other items and loss of some of the better things like my favorite mini chili and salads, and NO more happy hour espresso martini. Ugh, I feel so disappointed---totally cheated! It's really no bargain now, just get regular sized items from the main menu for a better value. Three stars still for the great staff & fun place, bedsides all this bad business. But the happy hour is just so unhappy. Boooo!

Disco tots
Aaron S.

Not so happy hour It's the little things that make a dining experience memorable. Last month we came for happy hour and had 3 delicious fish tacos for $5, 3 wonderful chicken tacos for $4 and a few other delicious appetizers and drinks. Loved it. Return trip...as pictured the shrimp taco is now a single taco for $4. Chicken taco also reduced to one lonely bite at $3 instead of 3 for $4. Mini burgers are back but at a cost....previously 6 for $13 are now 6 for $20. And the wonderful expresso martini is gone. Sorry Plan B, but Happy Hour was much happier before. Now it is higher priced than similar tacos on dinner menus around town, burgers at dinner prices when thinking pound for pound, and just nothing that stands out and calls to us as our Happy Hour destination. Thinking the only one truly happy is the owner when he cashes out the register at the conclusion of Happy Hour. Per my prior review, still a solid choice for dinner. Great service and very good food with a nice vibe. Next time they offer the happy hour menu though, I will say pass.

Food was very underwhelming. Lacked flavor. Presentation could be better. Fish & chips were overcooked. Coleslaw had spring onions in it which overpowered the entire side dish. Hand cut fries were not good. Meatloaf had potential. A lot of Worcestershire sauce for my liking and a bit dry. Mashed potatoes were very gummy. Chicken tenders were overcooked. Tater tots were good. Fried pickles were okay. Nachos have potential as well. House cooked potato chips with chili, tomatoes, onions and queso sauce on top. Needed salt. Half sour pickle chips are their complimentary starter but very salty and I love pickles but I did not like those. Pretzel bacon cheeseburger was overcooked and bland. You only have two options on how you'd like your burgers cooked: some pink or no pink. We asked for some pink but ours was dryer than the Sahara desert and this is a burger joint. The warm cookie Sunday was okay. There was more ice cream and whipped cream than cookie, served with 4 dirty spoons. We haven't been here for over 10 years because we didn't like it then and we don't like it now. The only thing that's changed is they have more than just burgers for options. Service was very bad. Our server was very forgetful and not attentive. Had to ask him multiple times for utensils (hello!), dessert menu and drinks. He also handed us a handwritten sheet of paper with beers because he didn't know what was available on tap. Ambiance is very LOUD! Don't go there to converse because you won't hear the person next to you. The server couldn't even hear us. I'm surprised our orders were somewhat correct. People surprisingly like this place and I'm not sure why. The food and service is awful. Parking is a headache. I'd rather go to McDonald's. If you're into under-seasoned food, a loud environment and poor service then this is your place. I do not recommend this restaurant for any fellow foodies. I don't see the hype at all.

Went for happy hour on a Friday night - disappointed that sliders were not on the happy hour menu either due to varying happy hour deals at different locations or recent changes - who knows ? Love the hummus appetizer and then had the chicken thing without the toppings and hubby had a burger - probably wouldn't go for happy hour again since their happy hour isn't that great compared to their regular menu so no need to rush in that time spot and I like their salads anyway Stephanie was a great bartender!

This is my second time here! The restaurant is located at 160 Glastonbury Blvd, Glastonbury, CT…read more This place is clean and classy for a burger restaurant. The silverware is spotless. I love the really huge booth! I like the vegan options too! To start it out, I'm having a Saratoga sparkling water. I've never seen the smaller, plastic bottle versions. I like this stuff! They serve seasoned popcorn as a complementary item. That's different. It's quite fresh and very good! For my first drink, I'm having a Cosmopolitan. This is made with Tito's Vodka, cranberry juice, orange liqueur and a little lemon juice. I like the floating dried lime wheel garnish. Nice glass. This tastes perfect! For my first item, I'm having the Caesar Salad. This is made with little gems lettuce, shaved Parmesan (light), brioche croutons and Caesar dressing (light). Well, it's not tossed so I think I scared the cook when I wanted light dressing. Croutons are nice and soft. I like the dressing. This is good! For my next item, I'm having the Beyond Chicken Nuggets. These are eight nuggets. I've never had these before! I'm having the Mango Szechuan sauce and the Szechuan dry rub. Let's see what this tastes like! These are good! I taste sweetness but not very spicy. For my entree (burger), I'm having the The Great Beyond Combo. This is a burger made with Beyond Italian Sausage, pickled jalapeño, raw red onion (raw? Who the heck actually cooks it?) and Dijon aioli on a sesame seminal hero. I want it as spicy as possible. The Combo includes an order of cole slaw. It is all served on a warm, green metal plate. The cole slaw is served in a cold little bowl. I like it! I can taste the heat of the sandwich. Well, a little of it. It tastes great though! Yummy! For my last drink, I'm having a Chai Old Fashioned made with Evan Williams bourbon, chai, sugar (do they actually muddle a sugar cube? Nah!) and Angostura bitters. This is different! Chai and bourbon! It is served in a big, huge glass with a single, large, square ice cube to slow the dilution process. Great garnish! A star anise! If you eat it, there is a licorice taste. That's very original! Good job! What a great meal here!

*This review is from June 2023, I forgot to post it, accuracy was preserved with Word…read more Came for brunch. Menus were confusing, printed on paper in landscape format. Choices were limited to 'small and large plates', there was no appetizer section. We were asked "sparkling bottled ($$) or tap water?". We chose tap. Server brought an old-style quart-size milk bottle and small juice-size glasses. The water had no ice, so I assumed water was cold, it wasn't. I ordered a 'breakfast' stout, my wife coffee. Stout was served in a wine glass, not a traditional pint glass. Wife said coffee wasn't that hot. When they brought our beverages, wife asked for a napkin since none were on the table. Like most civilized countries, I like to put a napkin in my lap when I sit down in a restaurant. Apparently you need to ask for one here. Young server muttered something about place settings are brought when food is delivered. I guess an ale and coffee aren't napkin worthy. Not sure what they accomplish with this goofy policy. It looks more like some kind of cost cutting measure. We made reservations a week earlier, wanted us to confirm a second time through text the same morning. It led me to think this must be a popular place with people clamouring to get in. Once there, place wasn't bust at all, no waiting customers and a sea of unoccupied tables. Our guest arrived after we ordered our beverages. After a few minutes, I ended up flagging down a server to get her a drink. Another sign we were stuck with a 2nd or 3rd-string staff. Our aunt ordered a specialty drink from their menu; "champagne in a laundry basket", (looked more like laundry water in a wash tub). After taking our orders, paper menus were collected to be reused. Maybe they were saving money on copy paper. I kinda' wish she left one in case we wanted desserts or something later. They were keeping the table clear of literally everything. I ordered a humus plate for use as an appetizer, something to share and couldn't be screwed up while waiting for our main course. When entrees showed up, we all chose 'smoked sausage eggs-benedict', extra servers were in tow with plates, napkins and silverware, napkin place settings given after all plates were on the table. My wife was seated across from me, sitting next to her Aunt Nan. The first plate was placed in front of me. Even being the neanderthal caveman I am, I knew this was the most basic etiquette faux pas (I felt humiliated j/k). Ladies are ALWAYS served first, another red flag from an inexperienced staff. The 'smoked sausage' Eggs Benedict failed on many levels. It wasn't hot, poached eggs were both over and under-cooked- egg whites had chunky white snot, yolks were not runny. The 'smoked sausage', was kielbasa logs cut in half lengthwise, they were overcooked and impossible to cut without flattening and mutilating egg and muffin. They could be used as wheel chocks, I had to deconstruct it so sausage could be wrestled with on the side. Wife said the 'homemade' English muffin had the tap water taste like what we were served 'for free'. I couldn't help but envision a garden hose filling a mop bucket used for filling the milk bottles. The Hollandaise sauce lacked silky richness and flavor, I've had better with McCormick packets. Benedict was overpowered with the taste of the smoked sausage. This meal was our aunt's special treat for our birthdays. They did not finish their meals, leaving mostly the pieces of the hockey puck-hard sausage. Server had been touting the pastry chef for the home-made English muffins. They were not any better than Thomas's English muffins. I am a plate-cleaner by habit, I've even been called human garbage disposal, so I managed to clear this one, (except for the egg snot, it would've taken a straw to finish it). My wife always has leftovers I happily dispose of quietly, not this time, gave it a hard pass. I felt unfulfilled, I was food frustrated, so I ordered some bacon cheese scones and shared them with the table. They turned out to be the best thing we had, warm Bisquick quality with a good taste of bacon and cheese almost as addicting as Red Lobster cheddar biscuits. We consumed them like a pack of hungry wolves. I asked and was told they don't serve them with butter. These begged for butter. IMO, butter should already be on the table. My wife picked this venue for our birthday treat meal with our beloved Aunt Nan from MA treating us. I apologized to her for our disappointing choice. She said she was glad I said it, she didn't want to say anything to make us feel bad. With tip, the bill for 3 was $171.00. We could have had a better meal and service at an IHOP for a quarter of the cost, I know I would have felt more satisfied. This experience made onto my list of top 5 worst eating experiences.

I'd be more understanding if the place was slammed, but there were plenty of open tables and a solid number of waitstaff walking around. Things started off with an excruciatingly long wait just to get our drink order taken--a beer and a cider, nothing fancy--and even longer for them to actually arrive. No exaggeration, it was over 30 minutes before we had drinks in front of us. The food itself was pretty good. I had the barbacoa tacos, she had a burger. The quality and flavor were about what you'd expect from a place with a huge menu--solid, satisfying, no real complaints there. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and pleasant, which made the painfully slow service even more confusing. It got to the point where I basically launched my credit card at them just to avoid another 20-minute wait to sign the check. I like this place and the food is decent, but I wouldn't come back if I had anywhere else to be--or couldn't devote an entire afternoon to lunch. If they checked in more often or offered another drink, it would've gone a long way. And pro tip: definitely don't come here for a first date. If you run out of small talk, you're going to be sweating it out.

We went to this place for Mother's Day brunch, and it was one of the worst experiences I could have…read moreimagined. First off, the ambience of the place is fairly nice though you would not know it from how many of the other patrons choose to attire themselves. If you're looking for a upscale, dining experience, other patrons would suggest this is not the place for you. They started off by attending to put us at the wrong table per our reservation. The table was apparently filled, and they moved us to a different table, which was perfectly fine as it was a nice booth with a window right next to the table. They then gave us several menus from which to choose, which was confusing as there were so many different menus with similar food options, including brunch, menu, a burger, menu, a dinner menu, a Mother's Day, special menu, and the regular menu. There were also two separate drink menus. We started by ordering some drinks and an appetizer of the meat and cheeseboard for the table. We put in our full order at just before 12:59 PM and the meat and cheeseboard came out fairly quick. Overall, it was the best part of our time at the restaurant. With regards to our main meal, we had ordered an eggs, Benedict, a children's pancake and bacon, special, and a steak and eggs meal. That was apparently a mistake as it took them over one hour six minutes before the food hit the table and when it did, it was a mess. The medium rare steak was cooked to a well done with the eggs being extremely messy and not very runny for over easy. The potatoes were dark and charred in places, but we're not crispy by any stretch of the imagination. The Canadian bacon had not been rendered well on the eggs Benedict and one of the two poached eggs clearly had not been poached appropriately. Also, my daughter indicated that the syrup was way too sweet, which was especially surprising as she is someone with a sweet tooth. The pancakes themselves were extremely dense and unfair and served on a plastic tray missing one of the size that was supposed to come with the order. It is clear that the kitchen does not know what they are doing as I was the second person in a row to have issues with the cook temperature on my steak, a problem that appears to carry over to other aspects of the meal as well. At the one hour mark, I've been so frustrated. I had requested to speak with a manager and he was actually the one who brought out the food to our table. There was a good four minute gap between two of the meals being brought out and the third meal, which is what my wife had ordered for her Mother's Day brunch. By the time the eggs Benedict came out, I showed the manager my stake and eggs, and he agreed that it was cooked to a well done rather than the medium rare I had ordered. I had overheard the exact same issue on the next table over where the older woman had not gotten her meal until nearly all seven others at the table had completed their food. At that point, I sent back my steak and indicated I did not want it to be remade as I was done with the place. Shirley, thereafter, I was clear the rest of the family was of the same mind as the meals were a mess and cooked improperly. The manager eventually came over and indicated that he is going to take care of the entire CHUCK which makes sense sense more than 75% of the food ordered had been uneaten or inedible. The service was no better as waiters and waitresses would walk by and failed to refill empty water glasses, even though they would look right at the empty water glass and would have pictures of water in their hand at times. One waitress went to five separate tables around us, including table she was not serving and failed to fill our water, but filled water at other tables. Our waiter was also missing an action for a good portion of the meal. Despite having the meal taken care of, I did leave a small tip for the waiter, though nowhere near what I would have had the service been even somewhat competent. This is a major disappointment as the last experience I had at this restaurant for dinner had been so positive it convinced me to book the place for Mother's Day brunch. I'm not sure if this was a one off situation but I would never recommend a return to this place based on the experience I had this day. What's worse, our reservation appeared to fall between two rushes as we were the second table in the rush that showed up about 10 to 15 minutes after our arrival at the place. As such, our food should've been fairly quick and coming out but others who ordered their food more than 20 minutes after our table received it with no problem. I have to say that the Taco Bell we had as result of this poor food service was Myles and Myles better than the food experience at the restaurant itself.

I have Celiac and this restaurant does an outstanding job of offering a multitude of gluten free…read moreoptions and the staff is super aware of food allergies. My friend and I were out shopping and wanted to grab lunch. She was craving a sandwich so we headed to Cotton Hollow. We were pleasantly greeted at the door and seated in the bar area at a high top. We couldn't decide between inside and outside so when we were seated at a window table over looking the patio, we had the best of both worlds. Both the dining room and bar are lovely. There are tons of GF options, but I always go for the choices I normally can't have elsewhere. They have a dedicated GF fryer so I opted for the fried fish and sweet potato fries. The fries were crispy and lightly salted. The fish was tasty and crisp, but a little dry on the thinner piece. The coleslaw was an Asian style slaw, which was not my thing. It was a bit odd for me. My friend opted for a chicken wrap and it was insanely large and she said it was delicious. The photo is only 1/2 of the sandwich which she took home. I had the red sangria. It was drinkable but had a bit of a sour taste and no fruit. My friend had the Hugo Spritz, which was perfect and refreshing. I have been here a few times and they are consistent and have a wide menu. It's on my list of regulars. Hint, if you go to Sayulita and can't get in, this place is right across the street and a good choice.

I'm back! Welcome to Carmine's! The restaurant is located on 389 Main St. in East Hartford. It's…read morecold in here! The temperature has got to be 55 degrees (the way Carmine likes it). I live the nice music in here. It's very livel! It's Happy Hour from 3-7 on weekdays (food) and all day for drinks on Monday! The kitchen here makes everything built fresh, from scratch, and all homemade. The appetizers, pasta, entrees and desserts combine old-world traditional Italian flavor with a modern flair for presentation, and the freshest ingredients around. Menu staples like calamari, chicken milanese, fettucine carbonara and ravioli are paired with unique recipes like pappardelle with sausage and tenderloin steaks. They have staffed their kitchen with a dream team of local chefs that ensure our quality does not waiver and our kitchen is always OPEN! Not every place can say that! For my first drink, I'm having the Manhattan's Creek made with Knob Creek bourbon, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth and Angostura bitters. Wait a minute! These are the same ingredients as a Perfect Manhattan! This is chilled, well balanced and nicely garnished. I like it! For my first food item, I'm having a House Salad (small, off-menu version). This is made with a spring mix including basil, tomatoes, julienned carrots, cucumbers and a red wine vinaigrette dressing. This is nice and fresh! I love the dressing! I like the nice cloth napkin as well as a disposable one. The bartender is the nicest one I've ever met. For my next item, I'm having the Rigatoni Marinara. The is made with rigatoni and house marinara sauce. It's low cholesterol and guilt-free (for me). This is steaming hot and delicious! Nice portion size too! For my next item, I'm having a cup of soup. This is broccoli cheddar with potato. Oh yeah! I love those oyster crackers! This is yummy! For my next drink, I'm having the Pratt n Whiskey made with Woodford Reserve bourbon, sweet vermouth, red wine and sour mix. I love it! It's shaken well and tastes great! For my next food item, I'm having the Carmine's Secret Tenderloins. These are actually pan seared caramelized CHICKEN tenderloins made with wine, olive oil, cracked black pepper, kosher salt, shredded Parmesan and a VERY special secret sauce. I can eat this with little regret. This should be interesting! This is quite good! I do like that creamy sauce! For my dessert, I'm having the Toasted Almond. This is soaked in Amaretto layered with light custard and topped with crushed almond. Oh yeah! Look at the presentation! This is fantastic! What a great meal here!

Excellent beer list that features some of the best CT breweries. Recommend the fish tacos, steak frites and the smash burger (happy hour menu only).

It's def one of our mother daughter special spots. I'm on a mission to try everything on the menu at least once and I was told the Crispy Chicken cutlet was a crowd favorite and it's safe to say I agree and I could not stop talking about it last night. It's made with two chicken cutlets crisp to perfection giving you that nice crunch with each bite. Inside you've got flavors of peperonata, fresh mozz, smeared pesto aioli , arugula on a thick ciabatta roll. It's a mix of comfort and quality all in one. I really enjoyed the mix of all the vibrant flavors here. Pair it with their sweet potato fries and you got yourself a real deal of a meal! My mom got the Handformed burger cooked medium on a brioche bun . It consists half-pound patty, bacon, white cheddar, lettuce, pepper mayo, She said it was one of the best burgers she's had in a long time and she's a harsh critic so that says a lot. She also enjoys the sweet potatoe fries here as well . Ps every Wednesday is Wine night which is 1/2 price bottle of any wine of your choosing . We showed up not knowing that and we may just make it a Wednesday tradition "Wine down Wednesday" :) Our server Lauren was excellent , it was a packed house and you can def see they have quite a few regulars myself included. It makes you feel like it's the friendly neighborhood restaurant!
