Log House

Hungry? So were we. We had passed this place a few times on our way to fish the Farmington, and finally decided to stop. SO glad we did. Classic American food. We loved that it felt like we stepped back in time when we walked through the front door. The menu for lunch had so many great options that we were excited to eat there as soon as we read it. The cheese pull on the mozzarella sticks was epic. My mozz stick loving fiancé was so stoked. He said the burger was amazing, also. I got the beer battered fish sandwich, which was fried to astonishing perfection. The crunch was still there even when I spread tartar sauce on it. Their French onion soup was delightful, as well. I love picking the cheese off of the crock, and it was just the right amount. This is our new favorite spot to eat when we go fishing. Love finding places like this!

Loved this place. Classic family owned business in Connecticut with great tasting food and friendly staff. Kinda smells like your grandma's house since the building is a bit older, and the decor is more aligned with the wood paneled 70s country house. 10/10 place to stop coming back from Bradley Airport or a trip through town. 3/5 atmosphere only because it's literally like eating at your grandma's and some people may or may not like that. For me it's a 5/5 for everything

The waitress was very polite. Food was served quickly. The french onion soup and clam chowder was great. I do not recommend the pot roast. It was dry and way overcooked, the mashed potatoes and carrots were both very bland. I couldn't eat more than a few bites. But my husband cut his rodeo burger in half and shared and that was delicious! So all in all my experience was good but I would never order the pot roast again.

This place has been a long time favorite of our family. Great food selections, generous portion sizes, fair prices, friendly staff, never a wait. Docked one star because they no longer offer their awesome buffet, which was really great. Was told on 3/19/2022 this was largely due to staffing issues, but no guarantees it actually ever returns, and this was a big hit item with many members of my family. Still highly recommended!!

My grandparents only have a 5 rating when they ran the restaurant it was an empire they created teamwork to help all their love ones brothers sisters grandchildren children great grandchildren. that's how it was back in their era. I can't stand one way streets when ones just take take take but don't give back. My whole family is like that to the most kindness people I was ever blessed to have in my life since a child. I can admit I took time for with them there's no way for me to take that back. Time goes by so quick one minute your children are babies and the next they're having their own babies🥰 Their restaurant was destroyed within a year of turning it over to their sons. At my corporation my salons, the number rule of thumb was if you're just doing it for the money you will fail and ruin the business. You need to love what you do and be grateful because it provides the money to take care of your children and help the ones you truly love with all your heart, charities n strangers. Like feeding ones who are hungry. Which I learned from my grandparents they never would turn someone down a meal if they didn't have the money.

My wife and I have been visiting The Log House for a year now when we camp up in the area. We love the atmosphere and the food is great! The portions are just right and the gravy and biscuits are the best. Usually it's seat yourself so we say in the big bright room on the right. They have a buffet for special days like Father's day. Make a day of it if your headed out near Barkhamsted, stop for breakfast and visit the little town of Riverton! Enjoy life!
