Reviews for The Blackboard Cafe in Windsor Locks, CT
They have consistently delivered good take out each time we have ordered. The entire households go to is the Boom-Boom *shrimp*... panini (chicken with shrimp subbed). Read more
I only stopped in for a quick drink, but their Halloween decorations were amazing! Definitely plan on going back to try their... food. Read more
Decent bar food & plenty of space. Drinks are quite pricey, a very small wine spritzer (1/2 wine 1/2 seltzer water) was $7.50.
I'll be back! I presumed (and failed) that this establishment would offer traditional bar food. What I found was bar food with a... twist AND on steroids! A dear friend and I started with the Spinach & Artichoke dip. OMG! The next plate to hit til the tabletopwas a Daily Special [that shouldn't be daily - if you know what I mean?] A unique shrimp concoction (Boo. boom Shrimp) thatshould be illegal! Wink!! Wink!! I'm going back!!! The final entre for the table was created in honor of a patron, Rudy! OMG!Slap my Momma and call me late for dinner! This was confirmed as 'Gospel' as another customer conveyed the same sentiments witha vocal appraisal I thought was - clear my throat - mischief instead of relation from the Rudy! "That good?" asked his wife. Theman rolled his eyes and shared. She also made the same sound! This caused a third table to order the same item, and the couple'sgrandmother expressed that she had not tasted a burger so good since she was a kid. Her first burger in America! The waitstaffwas cordial and friendly yet professional, and the food from the kitchen was timely and succinct with the movement requests ofthe wait staff and bartenders. A well-choreographed and rehearsed dance of perfect timing personified! During my time in directline-of-sight, I never saw an order sit for more than a few moments before it was delivered to the correct table. Time from thekitchen to the table was about 90 seconds on average. Yes, I timed it!! So BE CAREFUL when your order arrives at the table -it's fresh off the flames- HOT! THANK YOU to the back and front of the house and whoever hired, trained, and coordinated theperformance I witnessed last night! Read more
Great burger, perfectly grilled and seasoned. Recommend asking for some of their Boom-Boom sauce as it was a great add. Fries... are amazing and a wide selection of beers. Read more
I always have a great time, the owner is very friendly. Back in march I had a meet and greet for a forum I have online and... everyone had a blast. The large Jenga was a hit! Pool tables? there is a lot to do to keep conversation flowing. Definitely oneof my favorite mom night out places to go! Read more
Amazing spot to watch the last quarter of a big football game. Definitely not a family spot, as it's a smaller bar with a few... tables but several table games lol pool, shuffleboard, foosball, and air hockey. Fish and chips are amazing - chips (fries)particularly. Loses stars for $2.99 coke (usually cheaper at bars to encourage a DD) and $1.50 for a refill?? $4.50 total for50¢ of soda. Read more
Was looking for a spot near Hartford Airport- and found Blackboard. The barkeeper was a gem, (friendly and constantly humming a... tune), the burger (killer grilled flavor) and fries (so crunchy) were excellent. Great meal. I want to return. Read more
