I have only had takeout, though they do have a few tables in this small establishment.  One of the cheaper thai takeout places in the area. Standard, good thai food.  Staff seems to have a bit of a language barrier though.  Sometimes orders get screwed up so check everything before you leave.

The restaurant was empty on a Sunday night.  We were seated and then not one single server came to our table.  We waited about 20 minutes and then walked out.  Had a wonderful dinner at Summer Shack.  We will never return to Jimmy Buffet's based on the poor service and the somewhat blah menu. There are much better dining options located throughout Mohegan Sun

Another kid friendly place with surprisingly  quick and decent service.  Though on a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday you will have to wait an obscene amount of time for a table. I only will go during the week.

Cheap and filling!  I had two pieces when I could have easily gotten away with just one tender.  The chicken is not sitting around and everything is made to order, fresh! These chicken tenders are plump and filling.  I had the super hot buffalo sauce which was mouth numbingly good!  I also tried a southern sweet iced tea.  Yum!

This place is really good for kids and it is located across from the mall and near the Toys R Us.  Having kids really does make you appreciate noisy restaurants that cater to children.

Not the world's greatest burger by any means but a pretty decent chain burger.  I always order the burger with the green chile.  Yum.  Sometimes a little greasy but still edible.

As for the fries.... steak fries are nasty and I would never want anymore.

Westfarms Mall

I give it 5 stars just because it is the only decent mall in the area.  I shop here specifically for the Apple Store and Nordstroms.

Another thing, people are actually shopping at this mall.  I don't know if they have better security here or what but... there are no mall rats hanging around causing trouble like at Meriden.  You can easily shop on a Saturday night and not feel like you have to clutch your bag or watch your back.

Ugh, this is one of the worst malls in the state of Connecticut.  There are no good stores and one of the worst Macy's.  It is a mall rat haven and shopping here on a Saturday made me lose a lot of respect for humanity. Do yourself a favor and drive the extra 20 minutes or so to West Farms.

LongHorn Steakhouse

We happened to stop here on a Friday night for dinner.  I will say that dinner could go either way based on the server.  We were seated within 5 minutes and our waitress was fantastic.  However a few people with other servers seemed less then pleased.

The dining room was very busy with all table and booths filled.  The lighting was dim and it did not look like your average chain restaurant.

Started off with the house made potato chips and bleu cheese dipping sauce.  These were hot, crispy, and salty.

I ordered the filet topped with bleu cheese and peppercorn/wine sauce.  It was tender and cooked to a perfect medium.  I finished every last bit.

And of course we had dessert.  If we already ate at least a 2000 calorie dinner, what's a 1,000 calorie dessert!  We had the fried cheesecake nuggets.  Tasted ok but buy this time I was way too full.

Might be back again but I don't really eat steak all that much and like I said before, depending on your server, your experience might not be so good.

Not great but not horrible.  This gringo style Mexican restaurant meets somewhere in the middle.  The enchiladas w/ mole sauce were really tasty.  The shredded beef tacos were surprisingly  bland and not seasoned at all.

Feng Asian Bistro

First off they need to seriously fix the waitstaff.  So many people standing around doing nothing, literally congregating in a corner.  Also the two stars is for the whole dining expericence not just the service.

We were seated on a Saturday night at dinner time and this place was not too busy.  We waited and waited and waited for a server.  No one showed up.  We even tried to flag down someone who then ignored us and walked away.  Luckily someone saw and told us he was not our waiter but he was going to take care of us. I wish I remembered his name because he was FANTASTIC.  He was literally the waiter in the other room but made sure to take excellent care of out table.  The other waiters should be taking notes from this guy.

We decided to order tea thinking we would get our sencha in a pot.  Nope.  Two tea bags.   So classless in a seemingly nice restaurant an expensive restaurant.

For an appetizer we picked the Korean style calamari which was fried calamari in a sweet chili sauce.  Ok but nothing special. Been there and done that at a million and one other restaurants.  Was hoping for a calamari app that was a little more inventive. For dinner my husband ordered chef's choice sushi dinner.  So unimaginative.  It was literally salmon, tuna, snapper, shrimp, etc.  I ordered the Green Peace Roll which was a $16 veggie roll and the Route 44 roll.  Both lacked flavor but looked pretty on a plate.  Eating this subpar sushi really made me miss Maeda Sushi.  Why did that amazing restaurant have to close :(

Since we really wanted to understand why everyone loves Feng so much, we decided to stick around and  try dessert.  I had the 20 layer crepe and my husband had the ginger rice pudding.  The crepe was sweet but heavy in a strange way seeing that it was layers of thin crepe.  The ginger rice pudding was the best thing that we ordered.  Lots of flavor.

I will not be returning to Feng or any of the other restaurants they own.  It was a pretty place but that does not makeup for the flavorless and super expensive meal.  I am seriously thinking a lot of people in the Avon (super rich) area of CT have their heads up their you know what when it comes to restaurants.  Just because its expensive, doesn't mean its good!
