Humphrey's Grille & Bar in Wethersfield / Silas Dean Hgw
Message:
I tried a new restaurant this saturday for lunch while out shopping with the wife and my 5 year old. The owner told us it has been open for about 6 months, and they are making ends meet, but not making any money so to speak. Business has beeen slow I guess, maybe the economy. I'm not sure why? The atmosphere was a little dry with an intentional rough look inside, and they need some sun blocking shades or a film on the windows to block the sun, but otherwise the place was fine. The food was unbelieveable, and more than made up for the lack of luster inside. We both had sandwiches from the lunch menu, and our little guy had a hotdog. The footlong hot dog was a surprise to Mr "my eye's are always bigger then my stomach", and came with chips but you could substitute fries if you so choose. We ended up taking half it home for his supper. Our sandwiches were huge, hot, and absolutely delicious. She had the overstuffed rueben on her choice of 5 different breads, with fries for $8.99, and she had to take half of it home with her. I chose the "Marrianna's Revenge", which is a 10 oz. boneless chicken breast sandwich with 2 slices of ham, melted provolone cheese, and smothered in just the right amount of homemade honey mustard sause on my choice of 5 different kinds of bread. It also came with fries for &8.99. The bread was fresh and monsterous in size, and the chicken breast and cheese hung outside the bun like my belly hangs over my belt. Speaking of my belly, I ate the whole thing, no doggie bag needed for me. The "skin on steak fries", were done perfectly and there were plenty of them. The waitress was friendly, kept the drinks full, and the food came out quickly. The entire bill for the 3 of us with food, drinks -not cocktails, was $30 and change plus tip, well worth it for the size and tastiness of the portions. We will be going back for St. Patricks Day after the parade, for the beer, and corned beef & cabbage special. I always like to help out the locals especially if they are struggling. The food was great to say the least, we will definately be going back. Check out Humphrey's in Wethersfield on the silas Dean Highway, right across from the Marshalls plaza on the corner, I think you will be presently surprised. Maybe we need to start a "Places to dine in CT " Forum...........

funny you mention that Gary, I tried that place for the first time around the holidays, the burger I had was unbelievable...so good... Their beer list is not bad, service was really good, overall I had a great experience there. I hope they stay in business, it seems like every restaurant that goes in that location is out of business in like 6 months.... Either way, good post, I think we need more of this type of post in the General Topics section.
