"I had a great breakfast experience at this diner. The bookshelves adorned with books along the walls were a charming touch. What made it stand out was the baby area located in the center of the restaurant. We were fortunate to enjoy the soothing sounds of a pianist while we dined. The food, while typical diner fare, was notably better than most. The only downside was that the prices were a bit on the higher side for breakfast. Overall, it's a lovely place worth a visit."

"We love McDonald's! The food is always hot, fresh, and the staff is friendly. My order is always correct, but they don't get 5 stars because they always seem to get the sauce wrong. I ordered 10 nuggets with a sweeter and more acidic sauce, but they didn't include any sauce at all, which was a bit disappointing."

"We used them for the catering of a small family meeting, chicken francais, penne ala vodka with homemade rolls and salad. Everything was delicious and everyone asked where we came from. Definitely a great experience and I am sure that many of the family will be back for more!"

"Lido's has new owners and I have to say, the pizza was delicious. It could of been cooked a little bit more but it was tasty! What we didn't care for was the waitress's attitude. As soon as we walked in, she was negative and put down the new owners. We almost left. But decided to stay. She basically threw our menus on the table, slammed plates and silverware down on other tables she was setting etc.. I can't understand how someone who needs good tips could act like that. Maybe it was because she had a boot on her leg from some injury? Didn't care for the new Owner? She never should have done that, whatever the reason was. Your Tip reflected your attitude and mannerisms."

"09/10/23 Wish I could give them a minus -5 stars for service a Minus -8 Stars for competence for that matter..This was a Uber order the Total was $100.02…The Order was made a few minutes after 6pm..We were Told our Food would be here between 7:30-7:45pm on the Uber site…Our Uber delivery person called us at 7:40pm claiming to be at the restaurant was told they couldn’t fulfill our order because they didn’t have anything we order? Which would’ve been fine if it wasn’t almost 2 hours since we made the original order..Then to add insult to injury, When we called the restaurant to find out what happened..instead of getting an “I’m so sorry for the inconvenience” we got welllll What do you want me to do?..we DON’T have No more Food!! Lol.. From the bobble head that answered the phone..Sounds Like this place is a Big joke masquerading as a restaurant.. (U close at 8pm, U get an $100 order at 6pm can’t figure out in under a hour that U don’t have enough food to fulfill said order? Clearly they employee Geniuses here!! this is why people “Usually Us” don’t choose small local eats anymore..Sorry to say but especially in Meriden..N-E-V-E-R Again!! Wish I would’ve read the reviews on this place 1st, we wouldn’t have even bothered ??"

"As a born and raised Meriden resident. I like to appreciate steamed cheeseburgers are native to Connecticut and that Kevin has made a successful franchise with respects to Ted's. I used to visit the bar that serve these same burgers I like the new taste the cheese blend. And how the business has grown. the employees are always warm . The location on East main is quick easy and always satisfying"

"The pies being turned out here at the rendezvous are unique unto themselves... The Circa 1800s bread oven transformed into a pizza oven early in its life produce a unique charred crust it's unlike any other I have come across... The dough has a unique kind of crisp to it in a sort of heartiness it's still somehow being thin and light. The sauce on this pie compliments the cheese which is rich in a little salty... Tucked away in the back of this little unassuming spot is the gastronomical revelation if you ever have yourself a moment even a second if you consider yourself a pizza enthusiast or fanatic then this is a must stop you cannot go wrong with anything that you order here. Pro tip: order a plain with just garlic (simple is sometimes perfect)"

"I had high hopes for this restaurant since it had recently opened. The interior is new and attractive, but the service and staff were incredibly slow. It seems like they were constantly running out of items, but instead of informing customers, they simply omitted them from orders. My order was forgotten when I went to dine in, and when I mentioned the missing items in my meal that I had already paid for, the manager displayed a rude and unwelcoming attitude."

"Our experience with ordering and customer service was a total waste of time. I waited for two months and still haven't received any resolution to my concerns. I will not be returning to this restaurant. The constant turnover of employees is the only thing that makes another visit somewhat tempting, but the service remains just as bad as before. The app is also extremely difficult to navigate. I would not recommend dining here."
"Ted's has consistently been one of the top burger spots in all of Connecticut. Their innovative steaming technique ensures that the patties are juicy and flavorful, while also holding together perfectly. The blend of high-quality bread and cheese with the meat creates a truly delicious burger experience. Additionally, the fries complement any sandwich choice perfectly. For an extra protein boost, I suggest adding an egg to your burger."

"I honestly don't understand why there are negative reviews for this restaurant. It's located in a mall food court, so don't expect anything fancy. Despite that, it is the best restaurant in the food court, and it has been there for a long time so they must be doing something right. The food at Charley's is always delicious, I have no complaints!"

"Had the “famous” burger tasted bland and it lacked flavor and burgers don’t come on hard rolls fries were good also had the chicken steamed again no flavor and it was tough the portions of meat were smaller than the bread not a place I’d come back to."

"The best Chinese food! At first glance, the restaurant appears as nothing special, but every time I order food from this restaurant, they prove the best. There are Teriyaki beef, beef and snow peas, fried chicken and even Plantains are delicious. I strongly recommend ordering some food from this facility next time your hunger"

"I come here every week for the great service and food. I always ask for Lena who is a fantastic server, I only come on the days Lena is here because she just brightens our day with her smile and great service. I love the ribs and New Orleans seafood. It’s great when we get coupons too so we can come more often!"

"I have NEVER had such poor service in my life. The lobby was not closed so I went in for 2 sandwiches to go, a simple order. One customer was in front of me. I waited at least 10 minutes before anyone came to the counter. Finally, this person, who was alsofilling the first customer's order, came to the counter with the food. She then told me she'd be right back and went to preparemore ingredients. There were 5 other employees working. When my order was given, a different employee told me it would be 5minutes. As I waited, all of the employees consulted and discussed their schedule and then disappeared, with the exception ofthe woman at the drive thru window. One young man asked if my order had been taken. I said yes. After 7 or 8 minutes, I askedthe drive thru person if she could check on my order. Another woman came back and prepared the sandwiches with the chicken theyoung man had put in the oven as he spoke to me. No organization or communication. I felt completely ignored and unappreciated.Meanwhile, the lobby hadn't been cleaned so I am not sure what these people were being paid to do."

"Awful experience. They refused to accept a coupon for Subway because they don’t participate in the program. The staff was also rude. I will definitely not be returning."
