First & Last Tavern

One star rating for giving my wife food poisoning! Went to the First & Last Tavern last Thursday night (2/10/22) and, my wife got sick with Campylobacter (bacteria from chicken) from eating the honey hot chicken wings. My wife thankfully is currently recovering and spoke with the CDC after her test results came back from the hospital. Photo of the culprit of the Campylobacter vehicle in question.

I was really surprised by this restaurant…Plan to spend 2 hours, 1-20 min to wait for food. Served bread but it was cold hard and chewy..fries were cold. If you like bland tasteless food this is the place to be. If you want to be dehydrated this is the place for you! No salt and pepper no napkins.. under trained staff and and staff standing around socializing. They could had went and refilled our drinks.. glasses sat empty for the whole time we were waiting for food and then had to ask for refills after food was delivered! They were just running food out but placing it at the wrong end of the table and leaving us to have to pass around the plates to the correct person around the table . Ran out of Coors light on a Saturday night.. We were not impressed for our first visit. I completely understand being short staffed but to have staff there who couldn’t help the waitress seemed pointless. Bathrooms.. toilet paper everywhere both times I went in. Overfilled trash. Bathroom door stall doesn’t lock so as I was peeing someone opened the door! How embarrassing!!! Was looking forward for a nice meal. There are plenty of other restaurants in Glastonbury to go. Shrimp scampi was tasteless very watery the shrimp tails were left on which for the price of a bowl of linguini full of capers and a few shrimps it was not good. Thank goodness we had good company.

Pretty awful, 12noon & almost no one in the restaurant but yet staff walking around & no one acknowledges me. Finally I'm seated. 10 min & no menu. I asked for someone to help & finally the bartender comes over. I ordered the chicken soup & 1/2 turkey panini, lettuce, tomato & bacon. Soup comes, was quite good but not 2 noodle in it. Waitress said ...oh, they forgot to put them in! Ok, then I get the turkey wrap. No lettuce, no bacon, no tomato,& tasted funny. I showed the waitress, oh that's the prosciutto panini! Of which I did NOT order!. Totally disgusted, I won't go back, at least not Glastonbury. Plus it was quite dusty & dirty in there.

I came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 6 others. It was easy to spot from the road and also had parking onsite. The menu was large and they offered lunch from 12-4pm. The pizza was extremely good, however the chicken dish I got needed a bit of salt. The service was also quite slow, but I will say extremely nice! It was a good visit overall.

Very disappointing. Unfortunately this was the second pizza I ordered in one day that was made incorrectly. I ordered the broccoli specialty pizza however there is no cheese, so when the pizza came to my house most of the toppings fell off. I called the restaurant to inform them of what has happened and the manager laughed hysterically and told me there was nothing they could do. I do not recommend ordering from the Glastonbury First and Last because the quality and service is very poor. I don’t understand how this is acceptable. I have been a loyal customer for almost 20 years and I never had such an experience. If you want to enjoy a nice dinner from First and Last I would recommend the Hartford location so that your food will be edible, have nice presentation, and professional service. I’m not sure if my family will ever order from this restaurant again. 1 Star for the owners who must be very embarrassed by their Glastonbury location.
