The way the chicken is cooked is so good. Very moist and not greasy. The service is good and quick. I don't eat in. I like to take my lunch home.

I kept hearing about this place so I had to come check them out. I heard the chicken was spectacular. As I entered the establishment I was greeted by an older lady and she greeted me with a smile. She then told me she was the owner and her husband used to run the business. I ordered a three piece chicken which came with a leg, thigh, and a breast which came to twelve dollars. Every order is made to order so be prepared to wait twenty five to thirty minutes. The Fried Chicken was delicious. You could tell that when you bite into the chicken that it was marinated in a brine which gave it amazing flavor. The chicken was seasoned well, fried just right, and very juicy. That lady put her whole foot into cooking this chicken. I can see why her establishment has lasted this long. She serves simple but delicious food. The customer service was excellent and the owner really takes pride in her business. I would definitely be back again.

Broasterant, like most Hartford area restaurants with overall 4.5 Star ratings, made it on to my Try List. I'm rarely in that area so it took me a while to get there. But I finally did. The atmosphere is not a selling point, but wasn't a turnoff for me either. The inside looks like it was last updated around 1974. There is counter and table seating, but I didn't see anybody eat there in my 25 minutes inside. I gather they're mostly a takeout and delivery service restaurant at this point. Also, parking worked out for me in the lunch timeframe, but I suspect parking can be an issue at peak times. I parked about a city block away. After looking at the very limited menu, which includes Broasted chicken, seafood and fries, I decided on the $12 chicken plate, which had a broasted breast, thigh and drumstick, a bunch of fries and a roll. I would recommend ordering in advance. Things are made when you order. From the time I ordered, it took 25 minutes. What is broasted chicken? Essentially, it's chicken fried in a pressure cooker. I could hear sizzling the whole time I was there. LOL. The chicken was presented to me as a box, in a paper bag. When I opened the box, I saw a ton of fast food chain sized fries, which obscured the three pieces of golden brown chicken. The fries were about average for this style of fry. The roll was decent, but not a draw. The chicken looked fairly standard, but it was way above average taste-wise. The seasoning was not complex. I suspect it was mostly just salt and pepper. But the chicken was well-seasoned. Definitely better tasting than I expected from the appearance. The inner and outer texture were good too. Fried chicken and fries are not things that travel particularly well. So I'd recommend eating it somewhere soon after you pick it up. I imagine Broasterant is popular with people who work in Hartford and I can definitely see ordering chicken and bringing it back to work. Four Stars

Had the most delicious juicy chicken from here. My son is a picky eater and he ate 3 pieces of chicken down to the bones. Chicken is moist, tender and falls apart. Seasoning is to perfection. Will definitely be back!

I was talking about food with my co-worker. He was telling me that this restaurant has the best fried chicken in Hartford. ordered the chicken plate that comes with one thigh, two legs, fries, and a deliciously soft roll. You don't walk into this place expecting to get your food in 5. 2 seconds. I could not wait to bite into this chicken. it was piping hot because the chicken is prepared in a steamed pressure cooker. I can not believe I have never been to this restaurant. This chicken is banging, crispy and juicy. I loved that it wasn't oily. This restaurant has been in business since 1957. It's the oldest establishment on Park street. To my yelpers when you are in Hartford, Connecticut, in the south end area. Stop in and enjoy the best-fried chicken in Hartford, CT. Let's continue eating our way throughout the world.

I love this place!!!! Perfectly cooked chicken, crunchy, moist and light. Does that make sense? You won't regret coming here. The lady is very old school and she loves telling me about Greece! The other gentleman is super nice too. Call ahead so you don't have to wait since it takes 20 minutes to Cook! Enjoy!
