    The Flavors Food Truck has taken a leap of faith by setting up near the Simsbury Historical Society…read moreevery Wednesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM. If the thought of tropical Caribbean cuisine interests you, zip on over for some very good jerk chicken, beef or chicken patties, empanadas, plantains, mac and cheese, Spanish rice, a slew of sandwiches, tropical juices and frozen coladas. Your hosts will be Mike and Dee and I'll bet you a nickel they'll be the sweetest people you've meet all month. Mike is the front counter gent, Dee does the cooking and we had such a wonderful time shooting the breeze with them. We split a terrific chicken empanada as a starter (just $4) and it was flaky and juicy and just freaking great. My wife went for a Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($10) -a huge portion of chicken on a roll with tomato and field greens. I went for a Caribbean Platter (meat and Spanish Rice and four Sweet Plantains). I got the large size ($17) with spicy jerk pork. It was awesome! The rice was very good served with Jamaican style peas and olives, the four sweet plantains were excellent, and so was the shredded jerk pork. Half the portion was plenty for me. So, when I consider the quality, the value, and the customer service, it's hard to find any faults at all. Thanks Mike and Dee for a great meal that served nicely to kick off our pre-Hurricane Henri weekend. Please go support these two sweet people and the labor of love they create for your dining pleasure.

    So much FLAVOR!!!!!! Better than the food from my abuela. The combo platter is perfect. Sweet…read moreplantains, tender juicy pernil, perfect fluffy rice Ooof! The best combination. To top it off very well priced and generous portions. Def going back! 10 out of 10. Thank you Mike and Dee

    The Roadside Dogger is the best lunch bargain in Downtown Hartford. For a few bucks you get a tasty…read moresammich, chips, and a drink with fast, friendly service. "But I don't eat at trucks," you say. "Your loss," I say. It's time for a little culinary daredeviltry and to boldy go where you've never gone before. Normally I review based on ambience, service, and food. Obviously you're not going to have much ambience at a food truck, so we'll bypass that one. Though, honestly, in the shadow of the Wadsworth Atheneum is as good a place as any to grab lunch. If you go Wed-Fri, you can eat on the Atheneum steps, and then visit the museum. Dogger's open on Mon and Tues, too, but just sayin'. The service is top-notch. Mr. and Mrs. Dogger are good people. They enjoy what they do, and it shows. The food is prepared to order, it's quick, and even a first-timer is made to feel like an old friend. The food (which is why you're here, after all), is excellent. I've never had a bad meal here. Pulled pork, buffalo chicken (with extra buffalo), meatball or meatloaf grinder, and, of course, dogs; they're all great. The sandwiches are tasty, they're fresh, and I love the bread. There's a certain establishment kitty "corner" to the Dogger, a "stone's" throw away, shall we say, that shall go nameless, which no matter how much I want to like it, I just can't get past the crappy bread. That's why I mention the bread at the Dogger: it's really good. I suppose my one grouse is they don't carry coleslaw for the pulled pork, but that's not for a lack of trying. For some reason, you philistines who inhabit the Connecticut River Valley don't top your pulled pork with coleslaw (really people?) so Mrs. Dogger got tired of throwing it away. Apparently I was the only one who kept asking for it. It was good coleslaw, people! Ah, well, there's always got to be one little niggle; nothing's perfect. Do yourself a favor, get over your thing about trucks and head to the Dogger. You'll get good eats cheap, from two really nice people and before you know it you'll be saying to your friends "Hey, let's head to the Dogger for lunch" as they all give you funny looks for going to the truck.

    Absolutely amazing... This was my first experience with a food truck and I have to say I am…read morepleased. The line was short and food served quick. The husband and wife duo is amazing they are very friendly and conversational I did not feel rushed like they were there to just take my money. The steak and cheese that i choose to eat was wonderful topped with onions peppers and cheddar cheese. For $6 this is a steal it included a bottle of water (my choice) and a bag of chips. I will be back... also if you call ahead they will make your food so it is ready when you get there. A must have.

    Review #900: This…read moreplace looks and feels like a ski lodge nestled on the foothills of Talcott Mountain State Park. The Hublein Tower can be seen clearly. We went on a Saturday (February) afternoon and it was pretty busy but we were able to snag a table. They were playing reggae music, the fire was going, beers/cider/wine were flowing; a fun and chill afternoon. They offer so many beers from all different breweries! I didn't really know what to expect before going and this place was on my "to check out" list. I was pleasantly surprised. I was happy they were kid friendly because we brought our two little ones. I saw some people eating pretzels and we got some delicious buttered popcorn to snack on. The kitchen offers wings, chips/salsas, lobster rolls, bratwurst/kielbasa, burgers, etc. They have food trucks onsite, but when we were there (early afternoon) I didn't see one yet. I can't wait to go back during the summer/fall because their yard looked fantastic. They had a small stage, picnic tables, and fire pits. For recreation, they have disc golf, Cornhole, etc. In the summer, they also serve ice cream. This place will definitely be one of my go to spots to chill!

    Gorgeous venue. Live music from Booyah was awesome last night…read more Everything is expensive and my best advice is to eat before you go! The food trucks are insanely expensive. $15 cover charge and then $40 for the small fish and chips and $55 for the large. From a truck? No way! We ordered food indoors. The chicken tacos (3) were $15 with no side. The ice cream stand was very good and had quick service and decent portions.
