“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Dining Experience From the very first moment we stepped into 3, we knew the night was going to be special. We were immediately welcomed by the manager, Elyse, whose professionalism, warmth, and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and perfectly balanced between upscale and relaxed—and the staff mirrored that energy from start to finish. Our service was truly outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and always pleasant. Every question we had was answered with confidence, and the recommendations were spot-on. You could tell the staff genuinely cared about creating an exceptional experience. The evening began with perfectly crafted and beautifully presented martinis, followed by warm, flavorful focaccia bread that immediately set the stage for what was to come. The calamari appetizer was incredibly fresh, tender, and packed with flavor, and the charcuterie board was both visually stunning and deliciously curated. The entrees were nothing short of amazing. The ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection—melt-in-your-mouth tender and bursting with flavor. The pesto tortellini was rich, creamy, and indulgent, with every bite leaving us wanting more. What started as a simple date night turned into an experience we couldn’t stop talking about—and one we can’t wait to repeat. If you’re looking for incredible food, exceptional service, and a truly memorable night out, look no further. We’ll absolutely be back again very soon. Highly recommend. 🍸🥩✨“

Evelyn the bartender provided outstanding service throughout the evening—friendly, attentive, and incredibly personable. The Shepherd’s Pie was absolutely delicious—hearty, flavorful, and true comfort food done right. Service was prompt, the drinks were great, and the entire experience was top-notch. If you’re looking for a wonderful Irish pub in Franklin with authentic charm and fantastic food, Teddy Gallagher’s is a must-visit. Highly recommend!“

“Great foo, excellent craft beer and whiskey options, modern farmhouse cool vibe and the staff is excellent. Our go to place for dinner on weekends!!“

“We had a nice meal here after attending a college graduation. Upon entering (no wait), we were brought to a booth but I noticed the carpet was littered and dirty. The restrooms weren't the best, either. This made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen, but I hoped for the best. I insoected the silverware and they were good, so full steam ahead.

Hubs ordered the ribeye (excellently prepared) and I ordered the chicken tenders. The salads were delicious, as were the baked potatoes. The only issue was my tenders...super salty. I think they were over-seasoned.

Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. Longhorn's always provides a favorable experience. This location just needs some TLC, and a lighter hand on the seasoning.“

“Bartenders are great, everyone is friendly.“

“I recently placed a large order (14 pizzas, plus salad) for our monthly work meeting. I can't say enough good things about the awesome customer service, and the quality of the food! Everything was hot and delicious. They have a great selection of your standard pizza shop varieties, but also offer some interesting and unusual offerings. I highly recommend the 'Don't be an Ah-so'! I will definitely be ordering from The Corner Market again!“

“Amazing how food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff!“

“Great food and AWESOME service. Gina - thank you for best service - you absolutely make the best cappuccino 🩷“

“Had a delicious dinner last night at Avenue and wish we had checked it out sooner. Amazing wine and cocktail. Tried the Brie appetizer and Avenue Flatbread, which were both delicious and unique! Spiro, our server, was so attentive and knowledgeable. Service was excellent! Wish we had room for dessert bc that also sounded great but I guess we just have to go back soon“

“pot roast was great. service was great“

“Restaurant 45 is one of the best I’ve been to in a while! I stopped in with my dad the other day and was happy we were able to grab a table. This wasn’t my first time at 45, I’ve had a graduation party there before. However, it did remind me I have to go back more often.

The restaurant itself is nice. Plenty of parking and lots of room inside of the building. They have many rooms for functions set up as well.

Our waitress was Nikki, and she’s fantastic. Great personality, bubbly, and helpful. I was very happy to have her! This night I ordered the chicken Loretta but had it over pasta. This was probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. The pasta was cooked expertly, chicken was nice and crisp, and the ricotta mixture was the perfect amount of creamy. I would highly recommend Restaurant 45 to anyone who wants a great meal!“

“Service was fantastic by Gina. No complaints on the food.“

“We hosted our daughter’s bridal shower here and are so glad we chose it. The food was great / the atmosphere was great and Linda was amazing! Thank you for helping everything go smooth! Would recommend for a function“

“The food was very good! My salmon was cooked just how I love it. The pineapple rice was delicious and to top it all off a to die for desert! The Irish cream cheese cake was the best!“

“I frequent this deli as the ones in my town are not that great. It helps that my son loves Superette sandwiches and subs. The turkey Fitzgerald is a classic and their bread and meats are always fresh. Also a plaid we can get Framingham Baking Pizza without having to go all the way to Framingham. Probably go back every 2 weeks.“

“They catered a family reunion at my home last weekend. My family is Gujarati and this restaurant just hit it out of the park!!! Every esoteric Gujarati dish was a hit. We did puri, patra, mango ras, pulao, kadhi. Just outstanding! My family was raving about the food. The service and Anil’s responsiveness was on point. This place is run by true professionals!!!“

“Went for the first time yesterday. WONDERFUL...the food..the staff. Can't wait to go back! Run, don't walk to Anthony's on the Green, you will enjoy!“

“I ordered a small order of nachos and asked for no hot peppers and not sauce drizzled on the top
I asked instead of the drizzle to have sour cream
I was given a small container of sour cream
When the bill arrived I was charged a ridiculous price of $2.50
I am absolutely flawed that I was charged this ridiculous price
I am absolutely beside myself for having to deal with stupidity“

“I had an event this weekend for 50 people and James’ catered the food. It was a brunch, that included pastries, muffins, fruit, sandwiches, and quiches. The food was outstanding!!!!! James helped me plan the menu, he was accommodating, and everything was exactly as promised. The cost was extremely reasonable. I strongly recommend James’ without hesitation if you needed a caterer!!!! Thank you James, well done!!!!!“

“Great Service and Food 🥰🥰“

“Such great service and food. I must say though, the last time we were there I wasn’t a fan of the 10 year old coming up to our table acting like she was a server. Won’t be coming back if it happens again.“

“We tried the Horse recently. Courteous staff, nice menu selections. Great food. We will be back“

“I had another great experience at Applebee's in Milford thanks to Abriana and Sean behind the bar. From the moment I sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to.

The drinks were perfectly made, service was prompt, and they kept everything running smoothly even as things got busy. What really stood out was how well they balanced great service with great conversation, making everyone at the bar feel welcome and taken care of.

It's not often you find bartenders who can create such a fun, relaxed atmosphere while still staying on top of everything, but Abriana and Sean do it effortlessly.

If you're stopping in, I highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar. They truly elevate the whole experience. 🍻“

“that is very rude oh so now u are bringing up the elder people Dylan G and u are saying there is food in the food the resan i am being rude is because u are being rude“

“Had dinner at the Roast House in blackstone. I ordered the prime rib sandwich with lettuce and sautéed onions with a side order of rice pilaf and it was the most amazing plate. Absolutely delicious and our server Samantha was incredibly knowledgeable with a humorous demeanor… If you are in the area, I highly recommend this hidden gem and ask for Samantha as your server .“

“Drinks and burgers were delicious; however waited 45 minutes to be seated on a Saturday night (which is fine!). Menu states that on busy times you may be limited to 90 minute dining. At an hour in, the host sat another large party who was expecting our table. We still had drinks to finish but felt uncomfortable as people were smooshed on the bench discussing when we left they’d be able to spread out.“

“What a welcome addition to Normandy Farms. I tried the Campers Kitchen last night and was blown away. The staff was super friendly and the food was out of control. Wild Boar sausage!!! Wow!!! Since I'm camping all spring I will absolutely be ordering every weekend!“

“I had such a great experience at Tailwind Tavern! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect mix of cozy and modern. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful and the drink selection was impressive as well, with a solid variety of options. Tailwind Tavern is one of those places you’ll want to come back to. Highly recommend!“

“This is the best place to stay! Very nice, huge pool, huge convention space, lovely staffs! I love!“

“THEY HAVE THE BEST HOT DOGS“

“Best roast beef anywhere around“

“We LOVE Kravings!! There is always something for each member of our family to enjoy when we go there for dinner. The owners are amazing and so is their ice cream. Definitely recommend 100%“

“Always great food, cooked to order, no microwaves! My all time favorite is their flagship sandwich, “The Commonwealth.” Piled high with freshly pulled pork, some pieces bigger than others, some with the delicious bark that defines great smoked pork. I love the optional cranberry habanero sauce on the side. Considering the sandwich has over a pound of pulled pork, plus a side ( I traditionally get fries, my wife likes the creamy Mac and cheese), not a bad deal for under $13 with tax.“

“Incredible restaurant!! Amazing staff!!! Such a great place to take friends and family. Food tastes delicious. Highly recommended“

“Stopped in at lunchtime for a quick bite with my mom. It was nice eating simple good food😋 We both had Roast Beef sandwiches and split an order of fries. The service was prompt and very pleasant. Definitely planning on getting my husband there 😉“
