We love dining out in Connecticut, and there are certainly plenty of great spots for it. In the spring and summer months, outdoor dining is a favorite of many families. Enjoying your meal under the sun’s bright rays while a cool breeze floats through the air is an epic experience that’s incredibly enjoyable. Few places are better for doing just that than the Frog Rock Summer Shack in Eastford, CT. This seasonal restaurant operates at the iconic Frog Rock Rest Area, and it’s so much more than a restaurant: it’s a complete summer destination! Check it out:

The Frog Rock is a unique attraction that was first painted to look like a frog back in 1881. It's set inside of a 2.5-acre privately-owned park, and typically open to the public from May through September on weekends.

You won't find anything too fancy or upscale here, just al fresco dining on picnic tables, but boy, is it fun.
