First time here, came because Iâm staying at a hotel nearby. Very good first impression all around. For the price point, I got everything I wanted and expected - friendly service, large beer selection at relatively reasonable prices, reasonable selection of gastropub-ish food, and a comfortable place to relax and eat. Absolutely perfect for an easy out-of-town dinner to relax. Service: I actually went twice on the same Tuesday - once at 4pm (sat at a table) and once at 9pm (at the bar). Both times, service was quick and all smiles all the time. My table server was super attentive, and the bartender did a great job managing quite a few seats at 9pm. Good service goes such a long way towards making a meal enjoyable, its not always enough just serving good food. I feel like they get that here. Food: I had the loaded curley fries at 4 and the #2 burger with fries at 9. Both hit the spot so good. Nothing out of this world, but hey the fries were hot, bacon bits were crispy, scallions were fresh, cheese was melted, burger was perfectly medium as per my order, the bun was toasted but not burnt and not too soft, toppings were also fresh and appropriately colorful, nothing was overly salty and everything came out quickly and correctly. Amazing how many places cannot nail the basics, but again CBC does. Icing on top: great selection of MIâs many fantastic craft breweries on tap. Value: $16 for two beers and loaded curley fries. It was Happy Hour specials, so a very good deal IMO. Then $30 for the burger, fries and another two beers at dinner. Not a steal but reasonable, and Iâd gladly pay it for solid food delivered with great service. Atmosphere: I like the way they had this location laid out. Lots of available space at the bar due to it being U-shaped plus a straight section. Then the table seating area is huge, with billiard tables and I think I saw shuffleboard tables on either side of the room. High ceilings made conversation easier, and the music they had going was an awesome mix of mostly 90âs stuff. For a big place, it was pretty welcoming.

Hit is often difficult to find bars that serve brunch. This local burger bar has $10-$11 Saturday- Sunday Brunch. Waffles and eggs made to order and many pre-made options. The mimosas are decent as well.

This has gotten better over the past few years. Portions are large. Good value for money. Items we like include the nachos, ribs, chicken and brisket. Chicken comes BBQ or broasted. Baked potatoes are large as is texas toast. Not a lot of beer or wine options is weak point. Service is consistently good. More people eating there over time based on size of crowd when we visit.

One of the few late night options in Farmington. Sliders are a large portion of the menu. Something for most every one. Perch was a little fishy but off season. Appetizers are great, duck strips, coconut shrimp, Brussels Sprouts. Happy hour is a great value, else it can be a little pricey with drinks. Very good overall.

Full disclosure: i am not Indian, but i have worked in tech related fields for well over 20 years, have had many Indian friends and colleagues, and i have eaten a LOT of Indian food from all regions, both home made, and from resturant around the world. I have been to Vindu twice, and i think it is a fantastic place.The first time was lunch where i was impressed by many dishes on the buffet that were not typical Indian buffet items. The variety was great, the quality of the food was very good, the resturant is clean, new, and attractive. They also have a full bar. Last night i took my wife (who also has a passion for Indian food) out there for dinner. We drove 30 miles from our home to get there, and it did not dissapoint. The service was great, food was excellent (samosas, lamb curry, butter chicken, and garlic naan), and atmosphere was nice. We even got to be part of a birthday celebration for a young Indian not!This resturant has only been open for a few months, but seems to be hitting its stride already. You will find a great menu here that includes South Indian specialties, and even a fish wish from Goa. The staff is attentive, and the prices are more than fair. Stop in and check it out, but please make sure there is still an empty table for my wife and I!

Farmington Brewing Company is in the center of downtown Farmington. Great place to meet up with friends for a drink, grab a growler to go or refresh before or after a movie at the Farmington Civic Theater next door. There are about a dozen beers on tap (all made by the FBC) as well as local drinks like Faygo, Wine, etc. Little to no food is available, but they have menus on hand and don't mind if you bring your own food while enjoying a pint.

The restaurant is very dark inside and dated. It definitely has not seen any renovations in the last 50 years. Having said that, the Happy Hour was nice...$5.00 for well drinks. The baked cod fish dinner was excellent which was served with a salad and a choice of potato. The fish was cooked perfectly...it was flacky and delicious and right out of the oven. The service was excellent. I would definitely go back and have this fish dinner again.

This sports bar was a good option for lunch. Although fairly busy, we were seated pretty quickly, and had a good, efficient server. The food was decent; the jalapeno pretzel dip in particular was excellent. The Georgia Reuben (a turkey Reuben) was good.Definitely not a bad place to catch a bite to eat.

Recently attended a casual cocktails/hors d'oeuvres gathering of an organization I belong to up on the second floor of Cowley's. Food could be chosen from the menu and was served hot and tasty. Bartender ran a tab for everyone ordering items not included by the organization and checkout was quick and seamless. A great spot to hold a meeting or to sit and enjoy dinner.
