Cotton Hollow Kitchen - South Glastonbury, Connecticut

While our initial greeting left a lot to be desired (not warm and welcoming at all/maybe an “off” day), everything that followed was awesome! We sat in the bar which is spacious and modern looking. Lively but not too loud. Our server was great, super friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. I love that they offer Happy Hour daily as I like to try a few different things rather than order a meal. I don’t normally order dessert but I couldn’t resist getting my favorite crème brûlée. We will definitely be back!

Cotton Hollow Kitchen: Burgers Worth Talking About in Glastonbury

Cotton Hollow Kitchen in Glastonbury has built a reputation for its upscale comfort food, and after trying their burgers, I can confidently say they’ve mastered this classic staple. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.

The Burgers

The burgers here strike the perfect balance of flavor, quality, and creativity. The beef is cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Whether you stick to a classic cheeseburger or opt for one of their signature takes, every bite feels elevated. The brioche bun is soft yet sturdy, holding everything together without overpowering the flavors.

Their toppings game is strong too—think melted cheeses, crisp lettuce, tangy pickles, and house-made sauces that add just the right kick. Pair that with perfectly seasoned fries, and you’ve got a plate worth returning for.

The Atmosphere

Cotton Hollow manages to blend a cozy, laid-back vibe with a touch of sophistication. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy an elevated dining experience without feeling stuffy. The staff is attentive and welcoming, making the whole visit feel effortless.

Why It Stands Out

Glastonbury has no shortage of great spots to eat, but Cotton Hollow Kitchen is carving its niche with quality food that feels both approachable and upscale. Their commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients shines through, especially with their burgers.

Final Thoughts

If you’re in Glastonbury and craving a burger that hits all the right notes, Cotton Hollow Kitchen is the place to go. It’s hearty, delicious, and absolutely worth the trip. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or making a night of it, you’ll leave satisfied—and probably planning your next visit.

We held my wife's surprise birthday party in the back dining area that's separated by serving stations. They did an outstanding job - great food, attentive wait staff and very clean, including sparkling restrooms. As proof, at least three of our 19 guests remarked that they wanted to come back on their own. I worked with Liz for two months planning the party. It was easy. They offered a special seasonal menu of salmon (pictured), chicken and pasta with either a garden or Caesar salad. All were gluten-free. We brought our own cake instead of opting for their cookie platter and they charged a reasonable $2 plate fee. Although they don't have a separate walled-off room, we felt it was private enough. Very nice people with great attitudes. I wouldn't hesitate to host another party there even though they're 32 miles from our house.

Cotton Hollow Kitchen has quickly become one of our favorite restaurants in town. The food is always top notch, flavor exploding and the drinks are super delicious!! Great family restaurant, date night, anyone and anything really! The staff is phenomenal and let’s talk about the design… CHK is immaculately designed and styled. Beyond beautiful, careful details- incredibly classy! We will definitely keep coming back.

We dined in on a Wednesday night and was served by Karen. She was very friendly, attendant and helpful. At her suggestion we tried the skirt steak and Salmon. They were both very flavorful and big portions. We also ordered the mac and cheese which was super cheesy and different but very good! We tried the Korean chili wings and they were delicious. There was live music and the atmosphere was lively considering it wasn’t crowded. The drinks recommended by Karen were also tasty. We are from New York so to us the prices were very reasonable considering the quantity and quality of the food! Will be back again.

If I could give Cotton Hollow Kitchen above 5 stars, I absolutely would! The restaurant and bar are beautiful, and the staff was so incredibly friendly. The head bartender has created some really creative drinks - our favorites were their new Continental Kiss and Stars Over Singapore! I really enjoyed how their menu was full of comfort food, but more upscale. So many unique items too, like the pub burger that can be ordered on a Portuguese muffin! Dessert was an amazing banana trifle with amazing gelato, homemade banana pudding, and berries in red wine at the bottom. I’ve never seen a dessert like that at any other restaurant! I also really appreciated that they had a whole separate gluten-free menu so that no one feels left out. We sat in the dining room, but live music was playing at the bar, and it made a nice ambiance. We need to come back and check out their brunch next time!

We saw this place last time we were in the area and it looked like a cool spot. It was beautiful out so we decided to eat outside. We came for brunch and the food was really good.

They had gluten free stuff and a ton of options

I would recommend going here.
