Beachland Tavern — Restaurant in West Hartford

(Last visited October 10, 2021.) That really doesn't matter because I'm in here quite often. Lol. I feel bad for being so late to review this place, but my OCD doesn't allow me to, but today, that changes! I'm here to tell you why I love this place AND why I filmed a video here!

Atmosphere/Appearance: Like it says in the name, this place is a really laid-back, chill, mellow tavern. The restaurant isn't the biggest, but that's okay. There's quite a bit of seating outside for the warmer months and quite a big bar area as well complete with high-tops, booths as well as a lengthy bar rail. Beyond the bar area is a more "official-looking" dining room that's made up of booths with traditional tables in the center. It's never really too loud or rowdy in here, one of the reasons why I like it.

Service: We've been taken care of by quite a few people here and they've all been pretty awesome. I'm going to shout out Catnis, Kristen and Amy. I appreciate you all for always taking care of my crew whenever we come in!

Food: Once I found out they had smoked wings here, I kinda stuck to that section of the menu. Lol. They can fry your wings traditionally, but why waste wings frying them?! GET THEM SMOKED! They are incredible! I've also had everything single flavor they offer (mild Buffalo, hot Buffalo, BBQ, sweet garlic chili, honey mustard, honey chipotle and kitchen sink) with kitchen sink being my favorite next to their hot buffalo then honey chipotle. They can do no wrong here! The meat falls right off of the bone! The fried is good too, don't get me wrong, but smoked is the way to go.

Value: I can't really put a dollar figure on this place because the prices seem to rise and fall due to the market, especially within the last 2 years, BUT what I WILL say is to come during happy hour! You will get a NICE deal. I can't remember the happy hour times during the week, but I do know we've come many times on Sunday and happy hour lasts the entire day... or until 7:00pm. Lol. I just can't remember right now. My bad.

In conclusion, this is one of my go-to places to hang out and grab some amazing wings. It will continue to be and I'm so happy they were not a victim of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A Flavor Explosion - Kitchen Sink Smoked Wings

Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5)

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Kitchen Sink Smoked Wings, and I must say, they are nothing short of amazing. These wings are a true flavor explosion that left me craving more. From the moment they arrived at the table, I could smell the delicious smokiness, and I knew I was in for a treat.

The first thing that struck me was the perfect balance of smoky flavor and tenderness. The wings were cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. It's clear that these wings spent some quality time in a smoker, infusing them with a rich and deep smoky flavor that lingers on your taste buds.

But what sets these wings apart is the variety of sauces and seasonings they offer. I had a hard time choosing between their selection, but I ultimately went for a combination of their classic buffalo and honey mustard glaze. The buffalo sauce had just the right amount of heat to give it a kick, while the honey mustard added a delightful touch of sweetness. It was the perfect marriage of flavors, and I loved the fact that I could customize my wings to my liking.

The portion size was generous, and the wings came with a side of crisp celery and creamy ranch dressing, which provided a cool contrast to the smokiness and heat of the wings. It's clear that Kitchen Sink pays attention to every detail, ensuring a well-rounded experience.

The atmosphere at the restaurant was also great, making the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. The friendly staff and casual, welcoming ambiance created the perfect backdrop for savoring these delectable wings.

In conclusion, Kitchen Sink Smoked Wings are a must-try for any wing enthusiast or anyone who appreciates a good meal. The flavors, the texture, and the overall dining experience are simply outstanding. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their wing offerings, and I highly recommend you do the same. You won't be...

So I quit my career this day after 6 years of a cut throat industry and I wanted to celebrate with a DRANK! So after a little shopping my friend and I came here for a drank and some food. I drank a grapefruit martini (I love martinis hehe) and we also had wine both were so delishhh we also got cauliflower thai chili "wings" whatever you call it sorry Im not so helpful I'm a few glasses of wine in right now and my brain is impaired. BUT anyway back to drinks...Im not much of a drinker (😏) so to me it was a little strong but they were so good. WE both had a salmon sandwich I got mine with mash potatoes which were so amazing I can go for that right now again actually and she had the same but with sweet potato fries. The food was all so good, the atmosphere was so chill and friendly and the place was clean and very easy going. Prices are regular and the locations very easy to find. I definitely would like to come back. My friend and I were low key jelly we didn't get invited to toast with the strangers next to us lol its ok we'll just invite ourselves to the next toast we see. we just love to celebrate things rather we know them or not lol. Two thumbs. up...
