Fried chicken sandwich is very crispy and delicious. I think it's a chicken patty but regardless it's very good. My favorite chicken sandwich so far in east Hartford. Service is quick and convenient.

This is the home of the Best Wholebelly fried clams! The clams are lightly to no salt added and the mostly lightly breaded clams that contain some crunch but not drowning in batter. Superb!

This is one of those local treasures. It's lunch only, though. They close at 5:00. They don't have to stay open for dinner.

Mickey's is an Easter Hartford institution, located close to the Connecticut River. This oceanic grill has numerous seafood options, but also hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids and kids at heart. Try the clam chowder, it's a smooth creamy base prepared daily!
