Family-friendly theme park featuring roller coasters & other rides, plus a water park.
It had been nearly 20 years since my last visit to Lake Compounce, and this trip brought back all the memories with a modern twist. It was my husband TJ’s first time, and we had a blast walking around, hopping on rides, and grabbing cute photo ops throughout the park. The nostalgia is real—but they've done an incredible job updating the space while keeping its charm. The crowd was super manageable the day we went (pro tip: check the event calendar if you want a more chill experience). We even got to visit with our family while there, which made it extra special. We have season passes now and can’t wait to go back for more fun! Whether you’re bringing the kids, reliving childhood memories, or just looking for a classic amusement park day with lots of heart—Lake Compounce delivers.

This is a good spot to spend a day in the summer - the park is a very manageable size to walk around and they have a handful of good attractions. Boulder dash is by far the most impressive coaster! If you have a season pass you bought online that you need to redeem for a physical card, or if you want to redeem a bring a buddy ticket, be prepared to wait 30-60 minutes at guest services. The line moved incredibly slow and was by far the longest line we waited in all day. The other big negative was what a huge rip off the dole whip is at the Main Gate Creamery - the “Large cup” is $9, we received the smallest cups of dole whip plopped into a tiny saucer. The employee working there also seemed like he had better things to do than serve 2 cups of dole whip. The employees at the parking area, guest services, and the rides, were all wonderful and very welcoming/inviting. The park was very clean and the Main Street area was very bright and vibrant. They added wait time signs at the entrance of each ride which is a nice touch and gives you an idea of how long you’ll wait in line so you can plan accordingly. It is the oldest theme park in America, but it has a nice charm to it and they’ve done an incredible job maintaining the park throughout the years. Parking is easy and they have a huge lot very close to the park - less than 5 minutes from the exit to our car.

Wow, this place is amazing, Six Flags just lost a season pass holder, my family and I plan to come here going forward. Everything was just better, less chaotic and cheaper(way!) We just took the little one this trip, plenty of rides for her, the adult rides looked awesome, we'll be back to ride those, no doubt. The food offerings seemed adequate and plenty of choices. We did not eat this time, not because we didn't like anything, we just arrived after a late breakfast, skipped lunch and had dinner off park. The water park, oh my goodness, included with admission, totally worth that price alone. It was so hot, this was a HUGE relief! All in all, this place is perfect for my family and over the next few Summers we're going to get more aquatinted for sure! This IS a 5 Star Amusement Park!

Got done with lake compounce, was a fun outing with me and one of my partners. Overall we give the park a B. The employees provide great Customer service, friendly & engaging. Food was standard fare but there were options that were cost effective as well as Some interesting seasonal options. That said the parking directions ended up having us circling needlessly, and the road needs to be finished paved ASAP. If possible they really need to invest in more signage in the area. The other major detriment was the yellow jackets. They were everywhere in particular any drinking fountain or seated area. It was challenging to avoid especially when eating. We came for the haunted houses and reviewed them in the photos. Overall the rides were enjoyable though some showed notable wear and tear. In one of the game bakers stands the plushies were noticibly moldy which was concerning (though the employee said those ones are not given to guests "Display only")

I haven’t been to Lake Compounce in years! From the parking attendants to the maintenance person every staff person was very friendly and helpful. It was a beautiful day and I advise purchasing as much as you can online. It definitely helped. *The refillable cups are definitely worth every penny! Oh and the water park…Crocodile Cove is so much fun!
Kishanna S — Google review
We chose a nice weather day, it wasn't too hot, so it was ideal for all the walking. Some lines were very long and needless to say, the water park area was very crowded. We got there a little after 11a and it took us about 15 minutes to get to the line to pay to get into the park, so pack your patience. And if you haven't been there in a while, please purchase your tickets on line, it's a lot more convenient. And they are cashless. But overall, the kiddos had a great time at the water park.

Took my 4 year old and 20 month daughters! They had a great time at the water park and also on the rides. Visited on a Monday so it didn’t feel crowded, water park was clean and lifeguards were doing a magnificent job! Food was also very good! Definitely coming back!

Oh my gosh,I had the best time in the world here!!felt like a kid again,clean surroundings, water rides, helps cool you down when you get hot,there's a huge variety of games ,rides and even beach!!Plenty of spaces to sit and take a break under the shade or under a canopy,umbrella or sun...whatever you wish for. Free unlimited iced water and varieties of fountain sodas. The bathrooms are very clean and the staff friendly and responsive. We were 3 adults and 2 kids(8 &5) + all day parking =$207 total $36/person, 27 for parking. We brought our own pizza ,refreshments and snacks so we didn't have to spend more than we already had to enter. I actually think we adults had as much fun or more fun than the kids,lol. We got there right after they opened at 11.30am,left at 8.15pm and we still hadn't gone on all the rides!we have to go back!we had the time of our lives and I highly recommend this place to all families,groups and couples, there's something for everyone and all ages. What a day!!

Anticipating its reopening in the spring of 2024, Pine Lake Adventure Park has a remarkable reputation for facilitating the discovery and admiration of nature and fostering connections among individuals, regardless of age. Its website unveils an abundance of information about this captivating destination that caught one's attention while passing by its entrance. With a multitude of activities and experiences on offer, Pine Lake Adventure Park promises many more years of excitement and enjoyment to come.
We went early before they were open. It still had not been cleaned up as pine needles and cones were strewn about everywhere. We'll be back.

The Bristol Historical Society is an accidental discovery that offers a captivating experience. This establishment houses a variety of mechanical artifacts, models, and mementos from Bristol's past. Additionally, it contains ledgers and newspaper records spanning back a century, providing a rich source of information for history enthusiasts. What sets this place apart is the passionate engagement of an elderly gentleman who willingly shares the stories behind seemingly ordinary objects, making them remarkable connections to intriguing historical figures.
Probably the largest and most interesting historical society I've been to in New England, it's larger than some museums I've been to and has a really excellent catalog. Plus a very friendly staff.

We held my grandfather's Celebration of Life at Nuchie's in February 2018 & we couldn't have been happier with them. Firstly, the owner was BEYOND patient & accommodating with us given all of the uncertainties with head counts, menu & so on. He truly went above & beyond & was so understanding & easy to work with. (A huge THANK YOU by the way!) The pricing was fair & reasonable, the food was good with lots of menu choices & the staff were great! They even allowed us to stay longer than scheduled at no extra charge - I without question highly recommend them!

On a Saturday, I visited Parkside Cafe with a friend for the first time. Despite the busy atmosphere, we were promptly seated as there were only two of us. The waitress was exceptionally friendly, although her name escapes me. We decided to try their special Iced Cookie Dough latte and found it to be incredibly tasty! The food arrived quickly despite the crowd and it was both hot and delicious.
One of the best brunches I’ve had in a long time! The Parkside had a huge menu with so many creative options for sandwiches, sweets, drinks, and more. Our personal favorite was the kielbasa sandwich (Spanky’s revenge), but everything was fresh and high quality. Our server and the owners were incredibly kind, checking in often and making us feel right at home. Cute decor, and it just felt like such a welcoming neighborhood spot. I hope guy Fieri would consider the Parkside next time he’s in CT for Triple D!

If I could give 6 stars for service I would. Deb and I stopped by for breakfast and I felt like this is the place to be, definitely trendy but for a good reason, great owners and service. We were sat in a nice room to the side of the hustle and bustle. We were treated like royalty. The servers had good perception. We ordered our normal breakfast, however the toasted muffin and corned beef hash stood out as well above the norm. Everything was great! Very satisfied and we can't wait to try their 3 other bristol restaurants.

We spent two nights in Bristol on our way to Massachusetts and on our last day found Parkside Cafe. It has a great atmosphere, and the service was terrific. As soon as you walk in, you are pleasantly greeted by the staff. There is something for everyone on this menu. At our table, the kids all had pancakes, which were delicious and cooked perfectly. I had the "5150" which was a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, which came between two waffles with some greens, red onion, and a fried egg. The homefries, bacon, side of ham, and English muffins were all amazing. Our waitress was very attentive and went above and beyond. We do travel to New England pretty frequently, and this visit to Parkside Cafe with its amazing food and staff will become a regular spot to stop at along the way.

We were passing through town and found the Parkside Cafe by pure chance. We are so glad we stopped in! Delicious food, WONDERFUL service - everyone was friendly as can be! The corned beef hash was exceptional and the pancakes were fantastic. Our servers were so kind and thoughtful, and they even helped us with directions around town. Thanks a bunch! It was a pleasure.

One of the best cafes I've been to! We ordered the Cinnamon Swirl Pancakes with Turkey Bacon and Avocados along with a Mexican Breakfast Burrito and they were all very well made and wasn't strong on the salt and sugar which we liked! The waiter Summer was also extremely nice and attentive even with it being at max capacity This place is 100% worth going to!

Love this place. Their prices are crazy low compared to the food quality. Very clean restaurant. The staff is always wonderful, and I've never had a bad meal. The restaurant is pretty packed during peak hours, so it can get quite loud just from other tables' conversations. There is no loud music playing, and there is a bar closer to the kitchen which may be a little quieter. If you're noise or crowd adverse, try going during the week.

This is hands down my go to brunch place. They are super popular with the locals and I went on a Saturday morning and waited 35 minutes. It was completely worth the wait. The food and fresh and delicious. I tend to get a savory breakfast so their signature breakfast sandwiches are my go to. Try the tiger sauce! It's not for everyone and it's intense so try at your discretion. I for one could eat this sauce with everything. Especially the home fries! Oh and call ahead to see when they have sweet potato fries! These sweet potato fries are the best in the state (and probably world).

Restaurant
Bell City Diner, located in the Forestville section of Bristol, Connecticut, offers a wide range of comfort food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Formerly known as the Oasis Restaurant, this diner impresses with its elegance and cleanliness. The service is excellent and the food is really good. The prices are reasonable and it's highly recommended for breakfast. The staff is friendly and attentive while the decorations outside add to the overall charm of the place.
I had the pleasure of being served by Renee at Bell City Diner, and I must say she is absolutely wonderful! From the moment we sat down, her warm and polite demeanor made us feel incredibly welcome. She checked on us multiple times throughout our meal to ensure everything was perfect, without being intrusive. Renee also recommended two dishes that turned out to be absolutely mind-blowing—her knowledge of the menu and her genuine enthusiasm for the food made the dining experience so much better. Her kindness, attentiveness, and exceptional service truly stood out. Renee is a gem, and Bell City Diner is lucky to have her. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Renee to serve us again! Thank you for making our visit so memorable.

This was my first time at the diner and I was very impressed. From the initial impressions of the staff, I knew we were in for a treat. The decor is very retro mod 50s with fun pops of whimsy. The menu (s) we're loaded with tons of options and the hardest part was choosing which items to try. The portions were huge and left us with more than enough for another meal...and everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back...

This diner was packed, and the wait time wasn't bad at all. The prices were moderate for most menu items. The portion size was a great amount for a very hungry person. The shakes were very creamy and sweet. The presentation of the shake was very creative! The atmosphere was fun with all the different photos of celebrities and pop culture figures. The service was okay with check-ins every once and a while, so not overly aggressive, but didnt check in to often. It's a fun place to get a breakfast special and a nice shake.

I’ve been here for both breakfast and later in the day. The food is DELICIOUS. Service is friendly and helpful. Much care seems to go into the presentation of food and drinks, where it looks appealing before even tasting it. Prices are on the high side for a diner, but I can say that proportions are very generous and the tastiness is a step about typical diner food. I haven’t gotten one of their incredible looking desserts yet, because I’ve always been too full. May have to make a dedicated trip to try one of their milkshakes.

This is what $8.00 gets you for a piece of cheesecake there, you decide. Wings did not have any flavor of parm or garlic and were slightly undercooked. Cobb salad was great however, veggies were crisp and fresh, the eggs were perfect so it was really good.

The food is slightly below average. Pizza: I would rather have frozen store bought than this again. Burger was OK, not a whole lot of flavor and forgot ketchup for fries, nothing special at all. Meatballs: were flavorless and the sauce was terrible. They were also undercooked on the inside and I couldn’t eat them. It is convenient being next door to the hotel, but I wouldn’t waste my money on the food there again.

With warm weather in June, we sat outside on The Oak Patio to watch musician Timmy Maia cover well-known songs. The Oak Patio serves the TimeOut Sports & Pizza Bar menu which includes usual pub fare such as burgers, gourmet pizza, appetizers, salads and sandwiches plus a few high end dinners. Full bar with craft beers in addition to a good selection of wine. Arrive early if you want to sit in the comfortable sectionals and seatings in front of the stage inside the fenced in area. Our friends got there an hour before the show and we still could only be seated at a table for four outside the fence, which allows diners to see the entertainment but through the iron bar fence. All of our food and drinks were very good and served in a timely manner: coconut shrimp, calamari and nachos for starters. Kobe burger with bacon and fried egg; French dip handheld sandwich with sliced beef, cheddar and au jus; "Jerry Pizza" with mushrooms and pepperoni. My partner, an old friend of Timmy's, wanted to say hi during intermission so we went through the lobby of the Doubletree hotel by Hilton Hotel where this venue is located in Bristol, and went inside the enclosure so they could shake hands, catch up and take some photos. It's a nice place to get out and have a meal with or without a band. There's a lot of greenery, palms, plants and white lights under a white tented roof for the enclosed main area.

Definitely disappointed. Server must have been new to serving. I hope anyway because his service was dry and unprofessional. We sat for almost 10 mins before being approached and he greeted us with- Hi, do you want to order?… he then forget to put in my sons mozzarella sticks and after waiting 20 mins for a lackluster pizza, he comes over with calamari (that we didn’t order) and a - “my bad” that he put in the wrong order. When the fried mozzarella did arrive, it was very good. We had to ask for more water and another cocktail. Even with empty glasses on the table. Then he comes over… doesn’t ask if we wanted anything else or were interested in desert, just asks if we want the check. We were so taken aback we just said yes and got out of there. It’s a shame. The place is nice and has potential but this server 100% needs more training.

They also have a summer program called "kids bowl free" which provides kids with an enjoyable outing. The food is delicious and can be easily tailored to individual preferences. The staff members are incredibly friendly, enthusiastic about their jobs, and always ready to assist customers. Booking birthday parties is hassle-free with great options available.
We decided to celebrate the birthday of the littlest one in the house and they recommended this place to us. I liked it a lot because it has a little bit of everything, from gaming machines to bowling and laser tag. We loved the pizza, it has a very particular and tasty flavor. The drinks were delicious and we loved the service of the people who work there, they were very attentive. The place was super clean. I recommend them, very grateful for the attention. Thank you.❤️

First time coming here when I read that it was a bowling alley/arcade I’m not going to lie I thought the arcade was going to be a whole in the wall. Some places throw an arcade in like an after thought but it was a nice size with a nice variety of things. My kids enjoyed the laser tag I did not join in on the fun so I cannot speak to that. We did not get to bowl because it was just very crowded and the wait time was extensive but I love that they offer text message alerts to let you know when your wait is up and a lane is open. Now let’s get into the prices because this place is packing on the deals for $16.99 you can bowl for 1 hour, have a game of laser tag, and a $5 card for the arcade ok. And they have bowling deals that come with unlimited slices of pizza 👀👀 come on now, check out the flyers on my post. Let’s talk about it because I’ve been to bowling alleys where one slice of pizza was between $4-6 a slice.

We took our son and his friends here on a Thursday night at 5pm for his birthday party. Such a nice bowling alley, with plenty to do. There’s a large video game section, a restaurant, and very nice bowling lanes. Our server Eric was excellent and the food very good. Would not hesitate to return.

Prices for bowling were not bad at all Food service was great my food came out within 15-17 minutes and the food was pretty good. They have a whole lot of games and a variety at that. And they have laser tag. The bowling was fun especially with the pictures of us on the little cartoons it was funny. Over all clean, fun, spacious and great service and food.

Been coming here since I was a child… Birthday parties, family fun, and date nights have always been great here! Bowling itself has been a lot of fun, especially since you can get pretty competitive with others. They also offer laser tag, an arcade, and even have a restaurant here. Definitely a place for all!

Perfection. It’s one thing to have all the gizmos and gadgets but this place also has a party planner who is with you for the whole party. My son has had a party here twice and I have attended other parties. Each time has been awesome. The arcade games are clean and all work! They have a sports bar. Bowling is awesome. Laser tag as well if that’s your thing. Really a good time any time. Very well done.

This place was hopping last night. A lot of positive energy. It had the perfect balance of having a crowd, while not being overly crowded. Too empty, and there's no energy. Too packed, you can't get to the arcades or bowling. Music was just loud enough without being deafening. The arcades were lots of fun, especially the basketball connect four and the rat race roller coaster arcade. We didn't even get to the laser tag yet. Definitely recommend it.

Non-profit organization
Specialty Museums
The American Clock & Watch Museum, located in Bristol, Connecticut, is housed in a historic building and features 8 galleries showcasing antique American clocks and watches. The museum offers a fascinating journey through the history of timekeeping, highlighting Bristol's significant role in the clock-making industry. Visitors can explore a diverse collection of timepieces dating from the 18th to the 20th centuries while learning about craftsmanship and innovation that earned Bristol the title of Clock City.
What a treat! Several large rooms showing the history of clocks and watches: manufacturing, technology, and design. Focused on local manufacturing history. We loved it! Just off 84.

Michele S — Google review
We visited on a Sunday afternoon and there was a steady stream of visitors, yet the museum was easy to get around and not crowded. They have a scavenger hunt for kids. You can punch in with a time clock from the early 20th century. The woman at the desk takes time to show each group around the museum and answer questions before sending you off to explore. The collection of clocks and watches is quite extensive with lots of history to learn. There are self guided tour booklets with additional information to supplement the wall signs. In addition to the clocks and watches, the house itself is historic. They have everything from tower clocks to mantle clocks, wood clocks, wind up toys, pocket watches, wrist watches, rare and unique pieces. Many of the items were made in CT or New England. They also have a clock makers workshop, a clock and watch store, and a clock peddler’s cart. There’s a gift shop with many unusual items. This museum is definitely worth a visit, especially if you like history.
Katy P — Google review
Very good collection of antique clocks. The hall that houses the tall clocks or grandfather clocks is very impressive and worth spending extra time to wait for some of the clocks to chime. The staff is very friendly and personable. They are redoing their parking lot so I would expect improvement on that in the future. Will definitely bring friends who are interested in antique clocks to visit.

This museum is one of my favorites in Connecticut. So much history, and teaches you more about the American Industrial Revolution. You also can see the tools and see how the clocks and watches were made. Tickets aren't very expensive here either. The workers here are very friendly and are willing to help you out if you have any questions or such. I recommend going to this fascinating museum!

Nature & Parks
Page Park offers a vast expanse of open space, boasting two playgrounds, water sprinklers, and a generously sized pool. Additionally, visitors can enjoy feeding geese and ducks at the small pond, engage in sports activities on the tennis court or ball field. However, parking can be challenging if not secured early due to limited availability. The park's main attraction is its exceptional Disc Golf Course featuring thrilling elevation changes and intricate holes.
Definitely a cool spot to take your children they have a lot to do with this Park tennis courts a big playground for the children they also have a big hill where you can go sledding. They have trails in the back they also have a pond and a pavilion. My dog loves it here there's so much to see.

An nice old park going through their "revitalization" project right now (6-15-25). We've been going here since the late 70's! Pool, basketball courts, tennis courts, Frisbee golf & some short hiking trails at the top of the sled / ski hill. Picnic tables here & there, with some outhouses.

Nice Disc Golf Course with some serious elevation changes and technical holes. The full 18 holes plays rather quickly, we finished in 2-1/2 hours with 4 players. Chucking over the pond means bringing some extra discs you don't mind losing.

I find it disgusting at what their doing to our beautiful park. Many years now I've been going to page park and I just can't believe how this city has changed it. Haven't they ever heard of if it ain't broke don't fix it attitude? The park was already gorgeous the way it was. Stop catering to what you think the city wants. How many frisbee attractions do we need?? The destruction of more than enough trees and our land all over the state has forced so many many animals to starve. Scrounging for what scraps they can find. Our citizens scream about the bears rummaging through their garbage but, what do you expect? As I said, leave well enough alone.

I used to really enjoy this location. But lately, they have been pushing the credit card too aggressively. Every time I shop, there is one worker who always approaches me by the purses and asks if I have the card. When I politely decline, she rolls her eyes and just walks away without saying anything. This has happened with the same worker more than a handful of times now and it makes me very uncomfortable. I was asked again at the register, I mentioned to the cashier I just purchased a home and working on paying my debts off, response was “what does that have to do with it?”. I get you have certain targets but please take no for an answer as it’s ruining customers shopping experiences now. I avoid this location now when I can.

I had a very frustrating experience at this location. I bought several items earlier that day at the TJ Maxx in Waterbury and came to return them at the Bristol store — all items had tags and were in perfect condition. Unfortunately, the associate named Katlityn was not helpful or friendly at all. She refused to process the return without giving any valid reason and made the situation very uncomfortable. I had to waste my time trying to explain something that should’ve been simple. I ended up calling my husband, who is an attorney. He spoke with the store manager directly, and only then was the return finally processed. The whole situation was unnecessary and could’ve been avoided with basic customer service. Very disappointing. I lost time for no reason and was treated poorly. I hope this store improves their training, because no customer should have to go through this.
Tânia M — Google review
Please please please stop pushing the credit cards!!!!! I was asked 3 separate times in my 25 minutes I was there. I had my children with me and I was in a rush trying to get the few items I needed. Even after declining for a specific reason, (which is none of their business) they tried to convince me otherwise! Employees need to really know when to back off, no means no and I was on a time crunch my kids were starting to cry and get antsy. It’s extremely uncomfortable when you say no and you still have to sit there and listen to the entire thing. It’s also EXTREMELY invasive to question MY reasoning for not wanting the credit card. Otherwise, always great inventory in this location.

Love the updated paint on the entire Plaza. 👍🏻 TJ Maxx is a great store. It has an interesting collection of items including: personal hygiene, furniture, clothes, food. My most recent visit involved me needing to find something for my grandfather's birthday, so I came here for ideas and inspiration. I ended up getting him some candy from 5 below, but not due to anything against TJ Maxx, just because his favorite kind was at the other store. The reason I am giving this store 4 stars instead of 5 is due to their return policy. I have tried to return something with a ripped barcode in the past and they couldn't take it. I understand it's probably due to how they inventory the store, but it was super frustrating. If I don't want the item, what am I supposed to do with it if not return it to the store it was bought from? So I ended up donating it.

I tried this place for the first time and never ever will again. The pizza was sloppy and tasteless. I ordered pineapple on my pizza and it was as if whomever made it opened a can of pineapple and dumped it on the pizza with the water and everything. I also don't think they're familiar with salt, no flavor at all. I don't know how a business can expect repeat customers when they do nonsense like this. I had to throw the pizza away. Waste of money, soggy and tasteless! I wish there was a zero stars option because I would have given zero stars. Yuck!

Perfectly cooked "Irish Pizza"!! I'm not a white pizza fan, but that was amazingly unique and I'd order it again for sure. I dipped it in some chunky tomato marinara because I just needed that little bid of red sauce kick. Yummy as a stand alone too though! Courteous and pleasant staff. Good price. Coupons in newspaper advertisement fliers. No military discount due to coupons/deals. So much food to choose from that I can't wait to go back and through the menu in completion eventually!

Just got some food here and it was really good! I got the rice bowl (bibimbap) and my friend got the Korean street ramen with beef instead of chicken. We shared the vegitsrian steamed mandoo (dumplings) and each got a Korean iced tea. The food was very good and very fresh for the setup they have. It's set up like a moes or chipotle is where you pick a base and get to choose what meat and what toppings/veggies you want. There's a good variety of vegetables to choose from. The broth for the rice bowl was really tasty and flavorful. It's quick food but not lacking in quality! Inside it was more open than I had expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The tea was also really good!

I’ve always wanted to try this spot and for some reason just kept forgetting about it whenever ordering out. A lot of great options for everyone with a lot of customizations. I ordered Korean tacos with spicy chicken, and it was plenty worth it. They look small, but they’re very filling, and filled with any amount of toppings you’d like. I also added the “angry bull sauce,” for a kick and that was great too. We will be back!

Upon entry the place was nice, clean, and just an overall welcoming environment. After talking with the owner and taking in his suggestions for our first time there, we got the rice bowl and the veggie egg rolls. The food was prepared quickly, tasted incredible, the service was impeccable, and the owner is very personable and kind. Cant wait to come back ASAP for the Street Ramen! 12/10 Would recommend to everyone!

I highly recommend Bagels Plus Deli, a wonderful breakfast spot where you can enjoy delicious bagels and a variety of coffee flavors. The food is served quickly by friendly staff, and they even offer homemade bagel chips. This place is known for their amazing homemade bagels, which are a definite plus. Their Steak and Cheese Bagel with peppers and onions is particularly outstanding - so good that you'll want to order more! They truly deserve more tips for their excellent service and tasty options.
Bagels Plus Deli in Bristol is hands down one of my favorite spots! The food is always fresh and delicious—whether it's a bagel sandwich, a dozen bagels with cream cheese, or anything off their menu, you really can't go wrong. The bagels are just perfect every time. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. It always feels good walking in there—like you're part of the neighborhood. The place is also really clean, which I definitely appreciate. Everything is neat and well-kept, and it just adds to the whole good vibe of the place. And the prices? Totally reasonable! You get great portions and amazing quality without breaking the bank. Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area—or even if you're just passing through. You’ll be glad you stopped by!

Nestled in a charming wooden interior, Pavilion Restaurant is a delightful family-owned eatery that offers an extensive menu filled with mouthwatering options. From slices and calzones to hearty salads and appetizers, there's something for everyone. Diners rave about the homemade spaghetti with meatballs, which many consider fabulous, as well as the impressive Ranch wrap and delicious Steak & Cheese grinders. The pizza stands out too—cooked to perfection with juicy sauce and high-quality toppings on a crispy crust.
Ordered Pizza for the first time and it was excellent. The pie was cooked perfect and was juicy with lots of sauce. I like that because other places you have to ask for extra sauce but bot here. Crispy crust and high quality toppings. We ordered online and no problem at all. Expansive menu and the prices are reasonable. Great spot!
