"Okay pretzels, okay wings. Nice location, but muted flavorsUConn tends to be a bit crazy when school is in session. So we were looking for good food to try that was a little more off the beaten path. This place had some rave reviews, so we decided to give this place a go.The restaurant was moderately busy, had outdoor seating on a beautiful day. We got a smattering of their dining options: A Stuffed Pretzel, a Hops dog, Some of their famous wings, and some pretzel oreos.One thing that you learn quickly is this location loves it 's wings and pretzels. It proudly announces that it 's the runner-up from hartford magazine 's best wings for two years running. So the bar was set high, as was the price point. They also had a good chunk of their menu dedicated to their pretzel offerings. So it seemed like this place would be able to put out very good pretzels and wings.They were not bad, but not great either. Very ho-hum.The hops dog hot dog was good, the pretzel was lacking the golden sheen and salt one would expect from this type of dog. We get a beer cheese sauce, which was lacking the beer and cheese flavor.The stuffed pretzel was more like a bread bowl with two pretzel tines across it. the flavors inside were good, if anything there was some gristly chicken bits and not that much bacon flavor.The wings were small, and the wings were sticky, sweet, and a pretty good barbeque sauce. However, any semblance of heat that the buffalo sauce provided was lost. Which is something the wings really needed: it needed spice.The pretzel oreos were sweet but very one note. I was hoping for a sweet and salty combo, maybe even some buttery notes. but they put both powered sugar and cocoa powder on top of them which made the experience much harder to enjoy.as a food location, it 's not bad but not great either. It 's fine if you 're looking for a quick meal, but everything needed some seasoning and some minor execution tweaks to make everything tasty."

"Little Aladdin at UConn is a Lebanese oasis amidst the vibrant campus life. Stepping inside feels like entering a cozy corner of Beirut, with inviting aromas wafting from the kitchen and warm hospitality greeting you at every turn. The menu is a celebration of Lebanese flavors, offering a tantalizing selection of traditional dishes that capture the essence of the Mediterranean. From savory chicken shawarma's to hearty mains, each dish is a masterpiece of taste and texture, meticulously prepared to perfection. The rice and fries are to die for my personal favorite is the chicken and fried cauliflower. Babaganoush, falafel and tabbouleh is one of the best in CT. You did not visit UConn if you didn’t grab a bite here. Ignore the chain restaurants and eat like a local husky."

"I absolutely love the dairy bar! Their ice cream is truly the best, and I really appreciate that they feature a sundae of the month on their Instagram. While the indoor seating is quite limited, they do have a few tables and benches outside. However, the outdoor lighting isn’t great, so it can get pretty dark if you visit in the evening. My favorite flavors are coffee and cookie dough. Overall, I would rate the food a solid 5!"

"A decent little breakfast stop near the local collage. Great place for breakfast when dropping kids off to fill the belly before the 2+ hour ride ahead.They had breakfast for everyone. White egg omelet, chocolate chip pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, egg over easy, home fries, and more.Everything is tast. It does not surpass my favorite local place, but it is a very good service and a busy, decent atmosphere. Frank's hot sauce, pepper, and salt on the table held together in a neat little folder.While decafe ice coffee is not on the menu, I did get a cup of ice and a decade coffee."
