Mineshaft Bar & Restaurant

Ok, with bad reviews outpacing good by at least 2:1, you might wonder whether people don't bother to review when they love a restaurant, but go out of their way to slam it when they don't. Then again... more

Waitress was good but I asked to speak to a manager about the food. Basically- chicken breast on my salad was to dry and hard to eat. It was something close to chicken jerky. It was obviously a cooked chicken breast that they put back on the grill to heat up. I have had this problem consistently when eating there. Manager offered no apologies just that she always orders that and she has no problem with and no one else have ever complained. She never ever said I will speak to the cooking staff about. She did however tell me maybe I should order something else or change the way i eat. (Sounds to me like she was telling me that I made this up and she was going to do nothing about it.) Certainly not the way to conduct business, in my opinion. more

I went to a fish fry on 9/3/10 around 5pm with my parents and aunt. The waitress never brought my soup that I ordered until I reminded her a second time. The food took about 30 minutes from the time the order was taken. We paid for the ""refillable soda"" that was never refilled. And the final straw was the server brought my father a glass of beer that had a crack running down the side. He cut his hand. No apology. more

While on Tour, our entire cast went to the mineshaft after a performance in Hartford. Though the food tasted fine, five of us came down with food poisioning. After one week, three of us are still experiencing severe problems. The food we all shared in common was the Cream Cheese Jalapenos. Pretty sure that this caused the problems. WATCH YOUR A@@ IN THIS PLACE!!!!! Pros: Nice atmosphere Cons: Becoming ill after eating what was obviously tainted food more

Came 12 miles to hopefully have an off-the-menu breakfast, only to find out only buffet breakfasts are served on Sunday. After having lost 15 lbs, I really was not interested in eating most of the items on the buffet. The food which was supposed to be hot was cold. The restaurant was cold. We ate the little bit that appealed to us and got out ASAP. Had always been a fan of the Mineshaft in the past but doubt that we'll be back. more

Crust was burned, sauce nonexistant. Pizza tasted like cardboard. At least the nacho chips were okay. Spaghetti sauced canned so also not very good. Some sort of funky tasting herb in the meatballs. Resembled grass. Cost of drinks too much. The ambience sucked - loud kids everywhere and we were unable to hold a conversation. The smoke drifted into the nonsmoking section. Service was slow - over an hour for a plate of spaghetti and yucky pizza. Will NEVER return or recommend this restaurant. Very disappointed as it came highly recommended. Pros: good for kids Cons: food, service, atmosphere more

this place is fast with serving food and very neat and nice game room more

The BEST pizza and nachos in the world!!! Large portions for what you spend. more

Breakfast are generous and priced right. Sunday brunch is hard to beat anywhere. Evening dinners are excellent and medimum priced. Pros: great breakfast, inexpensive, good portion Cons: parking, no reservations more
