What's coming to Glastonbury (CT)?

There has been lots of talk about what new food establishments will be coming to G-Bury. Just wanna put all the rumors in one place.

    I have been wondering whats going on a South Tavern lately. I heard a rumor that it had been sold. It is still open but definately seems to be less of a crowd these days. Anyone know of anything?

      I've never heard of them before, looks like all of their locations are in Massachusetts.

        I wonder if they are going in the other half of Chipotle's building in the middle?

          Nice find! Funny how they keep hitting the "local" button...Local to where, I wonder, like is the beef local to Burlington, Hingam or Glastonbury?

          Saw in the Citizen that 5 Guys is going for zoning approval to occupy the old Friendly's building. Looks like a good location for it.

            Noticed the for sale sign down in front of the Chickurin lot on Main Street. Is something coming? Any word on that?

              The Nathan's/Kenny Rogers/Arthur Treacher's on the G-bury/EH border has closed. I'll keep an eye on the location.

                I'm sorry to hear that. It was the only restaurant in the area to get a Nathan's hot dog. If I wasn't always trying to eat healthy perhaps I would have eaten there more often when I worked in the area. Oh well. The place wasn't that great anyway.

                  I retired from P&W in June, and I used to go there at least once a week for Philly cheese steak, which I thought was pretty good. Haven't been back since I retired -- feeling a tinge of guilt.

                    I was laid off from P&W in 2009, now work for another co. way west of there. I haven't been back there since either so I hear you about the tinge of guilt!

                Five Guys is considering the former Friendly's.

                  Five Guys has announced that they will be taking the old Friendly's building. I am not aware of any other new places coming in. Jay

                      Any word on what will be going in the former Chikurin location now they've leveled the building?

                      Also, we shall see if the soon to open Maggie McFly's can break the curse of the Glastonbury Blvd. building (formerly Bennigans, Houlihans, Angelico's, et al).
