The Whole Family Could Spend An Entire Day Having A Blast At The Frog Rock Summer Shack In Connecticut

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.

The park's Summer Shack serves up a variety of tasty eats and snacks.

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

Chat with your neighbors over a game of cornhole while the kids frolic in the park.

There's a playground for the little ones to left off steam after their meal.

The calendar is packed with live music events from local artists, so you'll even get to enjoy a soundtrack during your meal.

This seasonal spot is perfect for summer, and it's one of our favorite outdoor restaurants in Connecticut.

Frog Rock Summer Shack will be open for the season on weekends beginning in May. For more information about this year's entertainment schedule, check out the Frog Rock Summer Shack Facebook page.
