The Place 2 Be in Blue Back Square, West Hartford CT is a wonderful place to eat & meet up with friends. The Food is Excellent, portions are larger which makes the higher prices definitely acceptable. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is pleasant and low-key. I had a Veggie Omelet with Home Fries, and both were Wonderful (especially the potatoes)!

We had reservations at 10:45, weren’t seated until 11:25. The table before us still hadn’t left. While waiting for our table, we overheard the hostess say the previous table had been there for over two hours. As we sat down the server had the gall to tell us there was a 90 minute eating limit. We all laughed in their face as they couldn’t possibly be serious, because we waited about 40 minutes before we were seated at a table. In order to get someone to your table you need to put a card in a holder vertically, well we did that and were walked past close to 15 times before someone finally stopped to help.

Good food – disappointing service. From the time of placing our brunch order to it being served was over an hour. The cocktails we ordered (though ordered before the food) came out 5 to 10 minutes after our food came out.

The atmosphere is the reason you go to this place. Has great artwork that’s instagram ready and I love that they have bottomless drinks which are actually REALLY GOOD! The sangria is a must try, the chicken and waffles were pretty good, the grits were great, I like the fried shrimp inside I never had grits with fried shrimp. The steak and cheese grilled cheese was great! Service takes a little while but everyone is friendly, overall it’s great to try.

Decided to try this place out to see what all the hype was all about. I was very excited to try the crazy looking milk shakes, so I got the chocoholic one along with the giant grilled cheese. The grilled cheese was ok. The milkshake was a little underwhelming considering what the pic looks like when you place your order. I was definitely expecting something a little crazier, but ended up with basically a chocolate milkshake in a mason jar with some whipped cream on top and cookie dust. What I ordered wasn’t bad, but it didn’t live up to the hype….or the pictures on their website/ordering site. The environment itself was pretty cool with the floating egg chairs and the modern design. I’d go again if I was in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way for it again.

Good portions, extensive menu, friendly staff, good cocktails and nice atmosphere. I’m not a big fan of the ordering app but it works. Make reservations for busy times. We were there for a birthday so we did the whole shawty birthday thing, which was fun.

I think this is one of the best brunch spots to go with a group of people!

The Place 2 Be looks like “a place to be”, outside tables, egg chairs. Looks fun. The menus are online, and you order and pay through an app. That’s convenient ingredients a trending now, but not everyone will like that or be able to do it.

If you want to be overcharged for an instagramable breakfast I guess this is the place 2 be. My party was seated promptly but not served by any waitstaff for 10 minutes after sitting. There is a QR code to order your food and pay online. I assume measures created for less contact during covid. We were brought water and then again no staff served us. Our food was brought out but we were never asked if we needed anything else. I ordered an ice coffee and it was not drinkable. Tasted like sugar milk. I would have loved some hot sauce and pepper for my omelet but it was impossible to get the attention of the staff. We were never checked in on and asked how our food was. Not much flavor in the food. My friends and I ate less than half the food. Instead of being asked if the food was good, we were given boxes. You pay online and just leave. I have been a part time server for nearly a decade and the service was horrible. Unless you want subpar food just for the photo… skip out on this experience. Might as well go to sugar factory, they do the experience and service all together.

This was such an enjoyable dining experience and the speed that our food came out was unreal! Alexa was especially amazing because she helped us take the BEST pictures of us and our crazy kids! This left such an impression on our friends from New York who now want to come all the way back! Thank you so much!
