A seafood place called Fish N Chops opened in the old Ponderosa in 2010. The owners removed most of the seafood from the menu and renamed it Route 10 Family Tavern in June 2011. They were open maybe 3 weeks at the most.

Although not independent Moe's Southwest Grill in the Shoprite Plaza is still booming. Don't like Mexican Food.

A new Indian Restaurant opened. Never tried it. Don't want to either.

A new Pizza place opened in the Plantsville section of town. Don't know how they're doing.

DJ KG from HOT 93.7 Hartford's #1 for Hip-Hop and R&B opened KG Burgers & Beers downtown Southington last summer. It's still open, but I heard the food isn't that great.

A new place called Sixpence Pie Shop opened in the former Quizno's in downtown Southington a few weeks ago.

Subway is about to open any day now downtown Southington.

A Cupcake shop opened downtown as well.

As for chain restaurants supposedly Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel will open in the next year or so. Olive Garden across the street from Price Chopper and Cracker Barrel in the plaza with Target and Lowes.

And a long-time Chinese place - Beijing on Queen Street next to the former Wooster Street Pizza never reopened after the black-out after the blizzard in October.
