Abbott's in the Rough (Noank, CT) - essentially in Mystic, they serve outstanding lobster rolls, and the seating gives a nice view of the water. It's pretty cheap for good seafood, and a nice place to spend the day.
There are a bunch more I can think of, but I'll leave it at that for now...

I know it's weird to quote one's own post, but a couple of things:
1) Roscoe's was just closed down, as apparently business was really slow. It's a shame, because it was a fixture in Hartford and made a great hot dog.
2) Eagles was featured on "Man vs Food," where he tried to eat one of their biggest hamburgers.
Also, echoing what Kevin said - if anyone has any questions about the food scene in Boston or the Hartford area, you can shoot me a PM and I can give you suggestions for any price range, any location. I think I missed my calling as a food critic...
