10/23 - Incredible Lobster Cobb Salad with the option now of steamed lobster, "The Angry Queen Bee" fried chicken sandwich with brie, bacon and honey is unbelievable & the pierogies deliver. Sunny meal outside.
9/23 - Really nicely done fried cod with fries and coleslaw, more cheesesteak spring rolls, matzo ball soup & chicken salad on rye. Enjoyed the deck seating.
8/2023 - Excellent food. The matzo ball soup was perfect this time with the right salt and celery balance. The tuna salad on untoasted rye was so good. Loved the cheesesteak spring rolls. Exceptional in this category. My partner chose the Monday hamburger special and ate every bite. Bringing their pierogies & chicken salad sandwich to a family member, she asked where did you get this beautiful food? Dish N Dat!
Returning Jan '22 the food, service and oldies music is still fun. Chef's special menu changes.
The fried Lobster salad is perfectly well-balanced in terms of all its components. The hard boiled egg was cooked to perfection. The yolk had no hint of grey of an overcooked egg, nor did it have a hint of dark yellow in the center of an undercooked egg. There was a perfect fan on the avocado slices. The bacon accompanying the salad was crispy and provided crunch to the greens. Red onion gave the right heat and cherry tomatoes blended it all together. House dill dressing was fresh and creamy. I'd prefer the option of lobster fried or right from the shell. Still, a fine salad.
Lunch included lime & apple margaritas, two quesadillas, matzo ball soup, a chicken salad sandwich & ground beef tacos. This batch of soup was too salty and had more celery than needed. The chicken salad sandwich was good sized on toasted rye with large pieces of breast with a mayo/grape/celery dressing on top. The taco menu item is overpriced when two more quesadillas @$4. each on Tuesdays would have been a better buy.
Visiting Dish N Dat two days in a row, the food, service, atmosphere and retro fifties/sixties music make dining here a pleasant experience. Our first meal on a Tuesday, we were pleased to find the house margarita was on special this day for $3.00! Salt or sugar rim. Three flavors. Good pour. Also on special, quesadillas were $4.00 with beef, pork or chicken. My partner got one of each. All were well seasoned and portioned. Wings had a good size.
The lobster sandwich on a grilled roll with arugula @$22.00. was pricier than some, but still a treat. I liked the chef grilled the inside of the bun and left the outside as is. Bread right out of the bag always disappoints. The Chef adds arugula, which to me is a bitter green, so it detracts more than compliments the sweet lobster.
For our second lunch, it was great to find a place in CT that serves matzo ball soup. It's delicious and is proudly the owner's grandma's recipe. So healthy, I asked him if anyone in his family ever got sick. "Never!" he said. The soup and sandwich combo offers tuna, chicken salad or grilled cheese. The tuna was creamy with good flavor.
The rodeo burger, like all their burgers, is a half pound and served, pink, no pink or killed. The latter, our waitress said, was a hockey puck. My partner ordered no pink, and that's how it was served, with big crispy fried onions, bacon, cheese and BBQ sauce.
The French fries that came with his burger were preferable to the ones I had with my lobster roll. More uniform in cut and size, crispier and better seasoned. Our waitress said we had a different cook this day than from our first lunch of their two chefs. She added that regulars will call and ask who's cooking today, as they both have their fans.
The owner, noting our return, treated us to his Maryland crab tots. Warm and crunchy with true crab interiors, we could see why they're popular. The red house sangria was ample with fruit and had a nice portion of wine.
The owner also owns Sorella's in Hartford, and Tavern at Keney Park in Windsor. (See my reviews/photos) Dis N Dat is kids friendly and a fun spot for a family, but adult couples on a casual outing will enjoy...
Read moreI arrived and there was a wait but the lady standing there said they will come up in a min and take your name …I saw one waitress look right at me and start to head over then turned around and did something else but after completing the task she never came over.. the bar tender woman also saw us but never took the time to assist…my daughter and I stood there waiting and waiting and waiting…a random man walk in went up to the bar tender and asked for a table she said ok just give me a few minutes . Finished what she was doing grabbed menu and sat him down. Like you saw me standing there way before this man but gave him a seat right away. Shame on me for not doing the same!!! Finally she came over after sitting the other person down to just tell me it will be a little longer…wow seriously!! We then stood there for another 10 minutes …then was finally sat down. When entering the dining room there was 5 empty tables 🤷🏻♀️ the place is not that big and they had 4 people waiting on tables and another bring out the food and a bar tender I really didn’t understand why I had to wait but whatever! It’s not my restaurant and maybe they just run stuff differently!! The team doesn’t appear to be organized at all and lack of leadership is obvious….we both decided to have breakfast for dinner. My daughter’s scramble eggs were good and her bacon was cooked perfectly. I ordered an Omelette with home fries and toast. The omelette I had was dry but I did eat the stuff in the middle…The home fries are very gross. 🤮 no flavor and dry, no seasoning just very bland! I was really hoping this place was going to be good but not for so much!! I hope the leadership will give the team more direction and revisit flavor...
Read moreFirst time at this restaurant and it was a spectacular time! The waitress we had was amazing and the food was tasty and made with love. I had gotten the Biscuits and Gravy dish and the potatoes that came with it were seasoned perfectly, the biscuits were made fresh and the southern gravy was the best I'd had in years. I'm a major fan of southern cooking and these people did this meal justice! 10/10 was delicious and I will be ordering again in the future. My husband and I shared their Nacho platter and the beer cheese was tasty, all the flavors complimented each other in a satisfying mellow blend of flavors and textures. My husband ordered the Hangover Burger and that burger was massive! The bacon was flavorful, the egg was made PERFECTLY and everything was cooked to perfection. The onion rings were absolutely delicious as well, perfectly crunchy and everything served at the perfect temperature. Amazing portions for the price you pay for too. We even tried their ice cream shakes and they were absolutely heavenly!! I definitely recommend the Dirty Turtle shake! It comes with a big chunk of brownie on the rim. I thought the brownie was the flavor of ice cream or at least was blended into the drink, so when the cup came out with this big brownie on the rim I was surprised! It tasted amazing nonetheless with the ice cream!
Needless to say, we're definitely coming back again in the future! It was a pleasant...
