A Day With GG In: Mystic

A Day in Mystic with us GG’s will leave your belly full and your heart warm. Check it out!

Mystic-Seaport-CT

 

Engine Room: For the ultimate best in burgers and Bloody Mary’s, the Engine Room is ideal. Seriously, not only is it a local favorite for all surrounding towns as well as local colleges in the area, but you will fall in love at first bite. It is located in the Lathrop Marine Engine building with a very rustic vibe, also overlooking the Mystic River, and they serve crafted beers on tap as well as “the area’s largest bourbon selection” and a great list of wines and craft cocktails. It is American comfort with a twist, and if you come for brunch, you can enjoy their mouthwatering make-your-own Bloody Mary bar. On the menu, you can choose from “first things first”, bar bites, big salads, dry aged beef burgers, sandwiches, “not your mamas cookin”, front porch classics, sides, and milkshakes. Some personal favorites include the mushroom Mae burger, chicken n’ waffles, baked mac and cheese, chopped salad, Randy’s double stack, and so much more. This had to be your first stop on your food tour of Mystic!
