This is place is a true gem! Always great good and even better service. So many items made in house from scratch. The pastas are INSANE!! The bolognase is the best around... homemade pasta and meat sauce. So many good choices.. pork chops, steaks and fish and chips. Food is so fresh and entrees come with soup or salad which I love!! Great bread.. great drinks and best of all.. Great service! Always a wonderful experience! Thanks for the great review. We are glad you enjoyed your self. Happy New Years

The food here is some of the best around. They have a very unique and diverse menu, there is truely something for everyone!. Some our our favorites are the Thai Cauliflower bits, and the avacao toast. Both are typically on our table each time we go.In addition to their regular menu, they always have really good seasonal specials running! The servers are all very friendly and rarely miss a beat. The drinks are pretty good too!

Really the only sit-down restaurant near the airport, it offers a nice meal for a very reasonable price. Service was very prompt, friendly and attentive. There's a very nice salad bar available. They have dinner specials--2 for $24.99. There's an extensive menu, the food is tasty and portions are good. Lots of free parking is available.

I was in the CT area because I was taking a trip to FL. My flight was cancelled so I had to stay in a hotel. I needed lunch and asked the front desk where they would recommend. The lady said Bobby Vs. I wasn’t expecting such a huge place. Tvs were stacked on each other and circled the room. I just got there when they opened but as the room filled for lunch so did horse and dog racing lovers. This place is the spot to go to for horse and dog betting, along with watching sports of all kinds. The bartender was amazing. Their beer selection was plentiful. I had some beers and their potato pulls. They were so delicious! They resemble potato skins but these were crispier and easier to eat. I even sat next to a nice man at the bar who gave me horse and dog tips if I wanted to bet. I did play some keno though. People were friendly, place was clean and plenty of parking. When I’m in the area again I will make sure I stop in! I highly recommend this place for good food, great service, fun betting and friendly people.

Skooters Restaurant Incorporated

Reviewed By 5inavan

The classic diner look from the 50's.It was a great scallop roll and fries at a reasonable price that gets the ratings up. The whole dining process, was a bit confusing. When we arrived we weren't sure if we should seat ourselves. Then we realized that we were required to go up to the counter to order (but not by where you'd entered the place).We also went up to the counter to pay. The entire experience was quick and we ended up arriving early for the check in at the airport, which did have a long line when we got there.The basic burger with tomato and lettuce that my wife got was very inexpensive as well. My daughter got the BLT.I love breakfast so that would be the reason for my next visit when the stars line up....

All in all friendly staff, clean establishment food is delicious. Hello,Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the food and the staff! We will pass along your feedback to our team so that we can resolve this in the future. Hope to see you again soon!

Bear's Smokehouse Bbq

Reviewed By ddrucker

What I appreciate about dining here is that you can take your tray to the patio and still enjoy the ambience. The staff will check on those dining outdoors but if you want to be alone you've got that too. Departing patrons may comment that you look lonely (I wasn't). The patio lets travellers unwind at a picnic table rather than a barstool. Meat portions are weighed by the ¼ pound. The lesser carnivores can skip that station and order veg side dishes. The cornbread and honey butter make a good dessert if you've got room or satisfying breakfast the next day.

It takes a lot to make me write a poor review because it could have just been a bad night. However, I reached out to the restaurant three different ways and never heard back. I am sharing so that others will be aware. Disappointing experience, Saturday, May 11th. This is the last time that I will try to reach out to your business. I have emailed you last week, the week before I used your website to get a message to you and now today I am sending this through messenger. If I don’t hear back I will comment on Yelp. This is the exact email that I sent to you, hence why it says good morning.Good morning,I am writing this email to you since I have not been responded to after sending a message to you via your "Get in touch" page on your website that was sent on Sunday, May 12th.We have been to the restaurant maybe 3 times prior to this day and have had wonderful service and food each time.We had a very disappointing dinner last night. (referring to Saturday, May 11th). While i understand it is a holiday weekend and very busy the main course was very disappointing. We arrived at 6 pm and had to wait until somewhere between 7 pm and 7:15 pm to be seated - there were 4 people in total in our party, we had 2 separate checks. We ordered the sweet and spicy calamari which was delicious. My husband had a chowder and I had a salad with TI dressing that was fine. The other couple we were with had 2 pounds of steamers that were very good, a salad and chowder which were good as well. Then it would appear that our ticket was lost for our main courses. We were then told by the server that a "round of drinks" would be on "the house" due to extended wait. Our meals arrived at 9 pm at which time we were not very hungry. My husband and i both ordered the broiled dinner with haddock, shrimp and scallops and I also ordered a side of the coconut shrimp. When these dinners arrived they appeared to have been very rushed and were sitting in a pool of water and looked to have been boiled an not broiled. I ate one of the scallops and then was going to eat a shrimp and found that it hadn't been de-veined. Luckily I had the coconut shrimp to eat a couple of before getting the rest of the food wrapped to go. My husband had to cook the seafood in the oven on Sunday before eating it as it was underdone. The other couple that we were with had the 2 pound steamed lobster and the broiled scallop dinner - they didn't have any issues with their meals. I understand that you were very busy on Saturday; however, once it was determined that our main course ticket was missing one would think that they would make sure that the dinners would be prepared properly before going out to the table.Now I am not someone who normally complains - it takes a lot to get me upset and the fact that I never received any type of response from you and it is May 21st is very disappointing. We live in Chicopee MA and I am not sure that we will be making the trip back to your restaurant any time soon given the lackluster attitude that I feel due to no response to my message. I look forward to hearing back from you.Thank you,MaureenChicopee MA
