    Omelette with rye toast
    Lamarr E.

    Finally got a chance to check out the Market restaurant. Ordered an omelet with toast for breakfast. The omelette was a great size, very fluffy and full of the toppings. Can't go wrong with a perfectly cooked omelet to start the morning.

    This place is just down the road from my work, everyone was recommending their food and orders from here on a regular basis, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Ordered a chicken Caesar salad for pickup. Swung by to grab it, went to eat it at work... Dead mini roach/horrifying bug inside. Can't speak for anyone else. Made for a rough lunch for me.

    The CCC!

    I've been going to the market for probably 9 years now. Everyone there treats you like family, and the food can speak for itself. I thought I would share some of my favorite with you guys. In this picture is the CCC. It's a chicken chipotle club and is life between two buns. You can't go wrong with their breakfast. 2 eggs over easy, bacon, home fries, and toast is my go to. But you MUST try their corned beef hash! Do yourself a favor and try the entire menu, you won't be disappointed.

    Wow, breakfast was actually really good! I stop by here during the regional market in which they are open in the mornings. I grab either a sandwhich or a plate of breakfast. Last visit I had 2 eggs, bacon, homefries and toast. This meal was very well done and only for about $7.50. Eggs were fluffy and bright yellow, toast was not too buttery, bacon was crispy but not burnt and homefries were very good. I really liked the homefries from here. Not super heavy and flavor wasn't super boring either. This place is not fast food as stated on the plaque at the counter, so expect to wait about 15 or so minutes for your food when they're busy. During the market, they are very busy. They also have an Uber Eats option which was something I was not expecting from here. Well, I can't see myself coming here when I'm not already there for the market but I mean this location is cool. On the edge of the regional market in the middle of Hartford's version of no where. Great food for good prices. I just need to find more reason other than market to come here. Maybe I'll stop by for lunch one day to see what they can do.

    It's breakfast time. You're tired of the usual breakfast classics. You want something different. Give the Breakfast Burger a try! It's American cheese, fried egg, bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo. I ordered mine with a side of homefries. Delicious! The prices are great and you walk away ready to face the day. They're open till 2 PM. Also try the Farmer's Market omelet. It's just as awesome!

    What this place lacks in space, they make it up in the quality of their food. Place holds probably 20 people or less for sitdown eating but, looks as though take out is what most do. First time here and I will be back when I'm in the area. The food was amazing!!!!! Friendly staff, great service and amazing food. Keep it up and thanks for a dining experience that exceeded my expectations.

    "We've taken all you've given But it's gettin' hard to make a livin' Mr. President have pity on the working man" (Randy Newman) The working man sure has a friend here. How about a $5 burger? How about $3 breakfast sandwiches? How about three-egg omeletes between $3 and $6? Get the picture? Market Restaurant is a very cool No-Frills place that feels like quite a bit more. When you walk in, you'll see a big blackboard divided into five columns- one for breakfast, sandwiches, quesadillas, salads and burgers. Each column is filled with its respective menu selections, all written in colorful chalk. You order at the counter and give your name, which is eventually called so you can pick up your tray or to-go bag. I ate in yesterday, and the dining room was pretty crowded, as were some of the outdoor picnic tables. My name was called in 15 minutes, and I grabbed a stool by the front counter, My lunch was a very good Cobb Salad ($7.50) with super fresh lettuce, diced tomatoes, a sliced chicken breast, cucumber slices, a hard boiled egg, croutons, bacon sprinkles and croutons. This is a very cool place where you get solid food at a rock bottom price in a place without one milligram of pretension. They are located on the premises of the Hartford Regional market and are open from 6 AM -2 PM Monday to Friday and from 6 AM-10 AM on Saturdays during the market season.

    Omg I found my new breakfast spots food is on point it just sucks they closes at 2pm I would really love to do dinner here this place is definitely a go to

    Excellent place for breakfast or lunch... easy to get to, plenty of parking and good quality food & service! I've had several wraps, salads and omelets. Great workday escape to... and unlike downtown you won't see 10 people you know!

    Burger and fries for a little over $8. A fresh meat patty makes such a difference and that BBQ sauce mmm! I wish I had more
    Nguyen P.

    Heard from multiple people who work at the Colt Gateway that this place was worth the trip and it really was. Located near the old train tracks regional farmers market, you wouldn't expect a restaurant among all these commercial trucks. The hours here are limited, but please make a trip. My reviews don't usually come with pictures, but I want to let my fresh rodeo burger and crinkle cut fries speak for itself. They had homemade BBQ and hot sauces, the place is packed. They feature photos of the farms they partner with, this is such a hidden gem! Nothing on the menu breaks $10, I think the most expensive item is $7.50

    Buffalo chicken grinder $6.50--no Pickle. One cutlet total, maybe.
    Chris D.

    I had the Buffalo chicken grinder for $6.50 and even though it was good, I felt bamboozled because it's actually on a club roll, NOT A GRINDER ROLL! Look, it's Hartford, CT... So if you call it a grinder, you gotta represent better than this. You get about 1 cutlet total, that's been cut into 4 pieces and stacked to looked as if you're getting more. Look, it's simple. Call it a sandwich, charge $5 and be done. As I did enjoy the SANDWICH, as I ate it, I felt annoyed by it. I see a pic of the same sandwich 8 Mos ago and it was $6. For an extra $2, drive up the road 5 minutes and get a REAL GRINDER. - I'm so P. O. 'd as I write this. I wish I got a burger instead.

    Blueberry pancakes and eggs, sweet!

    I had an incredible first lunch at The Charles. I have wanted to go for years, and I have been…read morespecifically eyeing their fish & chips as of late. There wasn't any question going in what I would order. The hostess started things off perfectly and was exceptionally welcoming, setting a relaxing and comfy tone right away. The building has lots of charm. The dining room was beautifully and warmly decorated. They allow the character of the old house to shine. As for the much anticipated fish and chips, they were extremely well executed, and even more delicious. The fries were great, just fairly standard. The other components shined a lot brighter, for example the inclusion of minted peas was extraordinary. The "kitchen sink" remoulade in place of tartar sauce had to be darn good to make up for the omission of the classic, and it was. The coleslaw was also exceptional, creamy but still light. The fish of choice was a cod loin. That was the game changer. I find loin vs filet to make a world of difference. It stays far more moist, has more flavor, and has a much more pleasant texture for me. The breading was light and delicate, too. Every aspect of my experience at The Charles was excellent. I'm extremely anxious to go back. I have heard great things about their salads and appetizers, and they have a beautiful tented front lawn for outdoor dining in the summer I would like to try. Highly, highly recommend a visit. I would say it was one of the busier lunch services I've encountered recently on a weekday, so keep that in mind.

    Absolutely divine…read more It has been so long since I've been able to have a crab cake that's gluten free, but at The Charles, their crab cakes are gluten free and lovely. 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!

    "Nothing you could say could tear me away from my guy…read moreNothing you could do, 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy" (Mary Wells) We took a morning coffee break, and had a wonderful time chatting, relaxing, sipping our drinks, and enjoying the friendly, mellow, and very chill atmosphere at the Café by New England Coffee Guy. They have plenty of seating, some upholstered furniture and we saw a few Friday morning telecommuters working on their laptops and sipping their coffees. Our order was a Chai Latte and a Cold Brew - each was $5. The pours were very large, and I swear that my cold brew was the very best I've ever had. I love coffee, drinking it hot or cold, and what I had here is in my all-time Top Five Percent. It was that good. I had a sip of my wife's Chai Latte and thought it was excellent as well. What really impressed me were the flavors of both drinks- not overpowering, but strong enough to appreciate them. The Coffee Guy has it all - specialty coffees, matcha, chai, espresso drinks, and pastries and sweet treats to pair with your coffee cup. We couldn't resist grabbing a few on our way out, and we took home a box with a Spinach croissant, iced blueberry scone, and a cruffin (croissant/muffin hybrid). We loved our visit to the Coffee Guy, and I was so impressed by the total experience, I just subscribed to their newsletter. So the next time we're looking for a midday break or afternoon pick-me-up..... I know a guy!

    I didn't even know this place was here until it was on the coffee crawl!…read more I opted in for the Mocha iced latte with cherry cold foam. It was probably one of the best coffees I have had. Not too sweet but not bitter either. We talked to the owner for a little bit and he was very nice and personable. We will be back in the summer with our dog to sit out on the patio.

When I arrived I was told it would be a 45 minute wait. Basically my reservation was useless. The 2 greeters made no attempt to address this whatsoever and didn't care at all. We decided to wait at the bar 2. The bar was not crowded with a couple of bartenders. We placed our order. The bartender looked like she didn't know what she was doing and greeted us with about as little enthusiasm and happiness as possible. (Maybe she was having a bad day). She didn't seem to know how to mix two drinks; a manhattan and a Negroni. She couldn't answer our question about what gin she had at the bar and just told us to ' look' as she pointed behind her. Then it took about 10 minutes for three drinks to arrive; the poorly made Negroni, a Coors light in the bottle (she never asked if I wanted a glass), the wrong glass of white wine that she had to redo with the correct one, then after 5 more minutes the manhattan arrived, also made poorly. She didn't charge us for that drink due to the delay saying she had to wait to get the vermouth. That's an odd excuse from a bartender. I've been a paid bartender, I know what to expect and she was just horrible. I'm sorry but that's a plain fact. If she worked for me I would have fired her on the spot and took over myself. 3. By this time, about 7:50, we were seated at an outside table. The crowd was dying down but our waitress was less than attentive and certainly not prompt. We have dietary allergies that she promptly noted but did nothing about as she said she would check wth the kitchen about of couple of possible choices we had interest in, but never came back to give us the answer. Now being quite impatient, we ordered anyway based on the menu description. One appetizer could not be eaten because of the allergy. We asked for the wine list, that never arrived, and it was 10 minutes until she came back to the table, but we ordered without it. The waitress seemed like she could care less about how we were doing or how she was performing her job. After dinner, ironically, the manager stopped by to ask how everything was, but we quickly said things were OK only because it would have taken too much time to make note of everything that had gone wrong. By now it was after 9 and my reservation was at 7. We had to leave. Suffice it to say, we won't be back. A sad overall experience indeed. I don't expect this restaurant and or management will be around for long as I have no reason to believe we were the only party to endure this horrible dining experience.
