“Large selection of restaurants, specialty shops, national chain clothing shops for women, as well as coffee, ice cream and prepared food shops. There are also a couple of banks in the plaza. There is plenty of free parking. Outdoor dining is available at several locations. Great for a nice walk and shop.”
“Update (2026) after some changes in management and turnover, the service are is hands down a great place over the last few years. The communication via text is great, the mechanics now send video of issues and recommendations. They aren't trying to sell you a repair u don't need, they will tell u what is critical and what is optional. I now feel like a familiar face after 15 years of patronage.
Update (Oct2023) Well 5 star didnt last very long. This rating, as usual, is for the service area. After trying for months to get both my Truck and my Mach-e serviced, I am left to continue to go to simsbury or hartford. They no longer take walk ins and as explained to me 'ONLY' take reservations; which are 1 month out. When you need an oil change because these new cars tell us, we now have to wait a month. No longer can we drop off before open and just get it back in a day or two. I brought my Mack-e in today for tire pressure and fluid change. Its a 1 month wait, so back to Hartford I go. So for any new customers with new cars, you should be all set; the current system is your norm. But for old 10year plus several car purchase customers, its a new age. No more first name basis, or dropping off. Gotta make an appointment one month out and take your chances.
(6 Months Ago 5 star) Experience was much better than in the past. Drop off was easier and the new guy recognized I had reward points and applied them for me without asking. I also really appreciate the guys giving my truck a wipe down of all the winter dirt.”
“Love the renovations but if the staff is going to be so militant about enforcing the 10 items exactly or less self checkout, they really need to ensure there are more cashiers available. The last bunch of visits, they never had more than 1 cashier on even when they had long lines. Managers should be more on top of that.”
“Love the Promenade shops and restaurants. They keep The quality high and I enjoy all the places the shopping area has to offer. I love just walking through it . I will miss Stonewall Kitchen which has just left. I enjoyed that store a lot. I frequent massage envy for facials and massages. Alia for facials and Becki for massages. I hope I can get in now that I have recommended them. I love Burtons fantastic quality and menu and since I am gluten free it offers so much for me. I enjoy Ted Montana's a lot. I love their bison burgers, hot fries and the salmon dinner are my go to's . There are so many wonderful shops that offer great service. The JCrew factory outlet is fab. Hill is a staple for me. I appreciate the staff at Lense Crafters and get all my glasses there. So much to offer. It's a gem!”
“I pull in here often to place my on the go for the best Dunkin in the area. I admire how hard people work to maintain the grounds in a busy shopping area. The plow guys do a great job clearing the snow. Can't wait for someone to fix the crater at the stop sign next to Verizon, coming in from 190.”
“Yes first time here. Place with good parking and for disabled people too. It has different stores. I went to Océan State and AutoZone and I liked it because it is convenient with a good variety of products. Handicapped-accessible doors and sidewalks and space in the hallways. Friendly and very respectful treatment.”
“Love this Home Depot! Great service in all departments!! When asking employees for their recommendations on products you can trust that they are giving you honest feedback!”
“Love this plaza, especially Dunkin Donuts where they have the best customer service. Shout out to Bree and Macey. They provided me with excellent service. I will be a regular customer there. AWESOME service!!”
“The Parkade shopping center in the heart of Manchester, CT, offers a diverse range of stores, a well-equipped gym, and a selection of restaurants. The shopping experience is enhanced by the variety of options available, catering to different tastes and preferences. The presence of a gym adds convenience for fitness enthusiasts, while the restaurant choices provide a pleasant dining experience. Overall, it's a vibrant and well-rounded destination for shopping, fitness, and dining in the Manchester area.”
“The Shoppes at Buckland Hills is a fantastic shopping destination with a great mix of stores and dining options. From popular retail chains to unique boutiques, there's something for everyone. The layout is easy to navigate, and the atmosphere is vibrant, especially during weekends. I love that there are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat after shopping. The only downside is that parking can get a bit crowded, especially during peak hours. Overall, it’s a fun and enjoyable place to shop and spend time with friends or family!”
“DO NOT spend any money at Ted's Montana .Stop.Its a waste of time and money.Great parking tho,and why are there so many young children/kids running around yelling etc. at 930pm,every other store closes at 7 pm ,so really nothing else open .The fire place /pit was warm and nice.”
“The Windsor Shops shopping center provides a pleasant shopping experience. The mix of stores caters to different tastes, and the local vendors add a unique touch. Parking is generally manageable, and the center's cleanliness is commendable. It's a convenient spot for locals with a friendly atmosphere.”
“Good store with friendly, helpful staff but because the Walmart is declining everyone is going to Target so the store is always super busy. The only problem I have with shopping here is the way they staff their registers which always causes huge long lines to be backed up. If they would fix that, there's no other issues here.”
“The Plaza at Buckland Hills is an excellent open-air shopping destination with a wonderful variety of over 30 retail, dining, and entertainment options. It's incredibly convenient, offering a great mix of businesses like Trader Joe’s, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks all in one spot. The area is well-maintained, clean, and pleasant for a family outing. There is a massive parking lot, but be warned: the plaza gets very crowded on weekends, and traffic around the exit can back up slightly. Overall, a top-tier place for shopping and grabbing a bite!”
“I had just visited the United States Post Office there to pick up several packages which I had ordered - Though it's very convenient location for the neighborhood , but don't count on the " Redelivery" of any packages even if they left a slip to do so though!!!!”
“This place is pretty much abandoned with maybe 4 places still open. It gives kind of an apocalyptic vibe which we like. We did eat at the Turkish place inside which was pretty dang good.”
“The old plaza is still there. Unfortunately Denny's is now gone. I feel like a part of myself has left with it! Luckily the other stores are still here and they are still just as good (or bad) as they ever were.”
