OT: Need lunch suggestions for today

[Hoophound]

Alright, I am in town with my wife and son for the game. We are in South Windsor right now and I want to go somewhere great for lunch. I have my own ideas but I’m looking for something different. Given game time and so on, what is your favorite spot between say Glastonbury, West Hartford up 91 North to Springfield.

Critical Factors:

Has to be cool and comfortable and offer great food, beer and atmosphere. Keep in mind that sometime this afternoon, prior to heading to the Rent, I need to pick up a friend in Suffield. So, I really don’t care if the place is in Glastonbury or Enfield, just needs to be great and a can’t miss spot. Thanks for your input.

The Cook and the Bear in Blue Back Square West Hartford is pretty cool and has some great barbeque and stuff. One of the owners Tyler was on Top Chef. Plus I designed the place.

Her husband was my uber driver one night going to a game at XL.

Max Burger was on my list. Good call there.

Sayulita is best in Glastonbury. Or birch hill tavern. They just opened a new place called beam house by the same owners as the first two places as wel

I'm too late. Artisanal Burger meets the conditions and is close to S. Windsor. They had Ice Cream Man the other day.

I’m sorry, great atmosphere and location (especially the patio when the heat is tolerable) but their food is trash.

I often pass by there and it is ALWAYS packed. Their menu looked pretty pedestrian tho. But how badly can they mess up Italian food?

Thanks I didn’t want to be the one to note this.

Hitting River tomorrow for lunch will report back.

I had a good meal there, but I take no offense. It's all good

Hah, even American Italian can and often is clusterpharked in the US. Pretty badly!

Salad was really good. Wings I’d skip. BLT not shown was excellent.

It’s a little weird parking and the hostess is clueless but as long not crowds a solid entry into HH rotation.
