Which sandwich to get is always a hard decision, but I usually get either the Caprese or the classic 3 cheese, sometimes with bacon.“

“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!“

“I will choose a good breakfast/brunch over going out for dinner most times. The Farmer’s Daughter never disappoints! They have a great selection of seasonal specials and drinks as well as staples on the menu that I come back for over and over. The drinks (both adult or other) are all delicious and the coffee is amazing!“

“A GREAT Hot Dog and a cool and tasty Italian Ice. Fresh, soft buns for the dogs with a huge assortment of fixings. I selected a half and half Ice of Strawberry and Watermelon. The strawberry was refreshing and delicious but was NOT sickly sweet. The Watermelon was wonderful and did not have that chemical taste that so many watermelon-flavored products have. It was very natural tasting and was really awesome with the strawberry (I recommend it). A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE THE KIDS, or for a first teenage date! Also, a perfect place for day workers in Sudbury to get quick and delicious lunch.“

“David and Diana are fantastic addition to Stevie's Café & Catering - Littleton, MA ! The food is made fresh to order. They are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies. The food comes out fast and fresh.“

A few things were missed but with such a big group and only 1 server I thought she was amazing. I was very satisfied with how they treated us and would recommend people to have their event here.“

“I just discovered this gem after moving from Philly to Natick 2 years ago. I am obsessed. It was like I was eating my mom’s or grandmom’s best and freshest homemade soups (which nothing has ever been able to compare to until now). Low sodium options are amazing - you can’t find from scratch, quality ingredient made stuff like this easily. I will be a regular customer!“

We also ordered the chicken and bacon rigatoni, the wings and a burger with Cajun fries. Everything was excellent. Burger made to order. Pasta perfectly cooked and everything was very well seasoned. Portions were amazing. We forgot to take pictures because we were really hungry.“

“We were in search of an upscale pub and chose The Horseshoe Pub won out over our second choice (O'Connors), mainly because it featured 80 beer taps... EIGHTY! \nWe opened our meal, of course, with pints (a wheaty Weis beir for me to followed by a mundane but always tasty Guiness). The for of us shared apps of rueben egg rolls and German pretzels. Two of us ordered the Shepard pie which was tasty but noticably short of the requisite vegetables. One of us enjoyed a very well prepared plate of short ribs over mashed potatoes and fresh steamed veggies. Dark gravy to taste. Rave review for the fall-off -the-bone short ribs. Passed on dessert. \nA very pleasant experience with great service, ample parking, a wide wide variety of food, clean rooms and tables with plenty of space at each and a killer bar separate from the dining spaces. Reasonable value for fare on offer. \nOne caveat with of mention. Three of the four of us ate the rueben egg rolls and had upset stomachs afterwards. They were delicious but disagreed with our normally caste iron tummies. Don't know if it was the egg rolls or the sauce that they came with but they were the only dish we three shared in common. \nThis restaurant worth a visit and especially appropriate for groups of friends looking for a nice night out. \nNot specifically an Irish pub but Slante' anyway!“

“Great Brown Derby Turkey Sandwich!!! Great barmaid!!!!“

“These folk know their regular locals. They can also put many a sandwich place to shame with how well they make a sandwich. They're always pleasant and personable. I make a point of going there at least once a week. They have a great selection of ready-to-slice meats and cheeses; they have delicious prepared meals; they have pasta and potato salads; soups, when they can... They also have seasonal fresh produce.“

“Delicious food! Everything was perfect! Highest compliments to the Chef!“

“Came to pit stop tavern with my friend and his son it was my first time coming here and our server Mariah’s customer service was amazing including her suggestion for chicken bacon and ranch pizza with a nice cold bud light from a fresh new keg that was just put in Would Definitely recommend this place and enjoy and if Mariah working request for her as your server“

“Very nice.. Great selection for breakfast. Fresh fruit to cooking anything you want. Nice for people that don't like a buffet style breakfast. Very clean and service was great. Something's I can't not eat and there was no problem finding something because they have so much to choose from.
Just great all the way around !!!!“

“Family friendly food in a family friendly atmosphere, a welcome addition to Boxborough’s otherwise nonexistent dining options. If you’re looking for a brewery, go to Dirigible. If you want better food, go to Oscar’s. But if you want somewhere you can enjoy a beer outside while your kids play games (corn hole, ping pong, shuffle board) with decent vegetarian options, then you’ve come to the right place.“

“good service and good food!“

“We usually sit at the bar and get immediate service. The bartender last night even remember us from a few months ago. She remembered what we drank. My sister ordered the same as last time and I ordered a slightly dirty Tito’s martini with a special request for bleu cheese stuffed olives. They were perfection! We both ordered the ahi tuna with avocado and jasmine rice. Omg it was to die for. I can’t wait to go back and order it again. I wish I could remember the bartender’s name so I could give her a shout out!!! All it says in the receipt is server: PM.“

“Central Public House is a fantastic eating spot. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is very attentive and the building itself is gorgeous.I've been to the restaurant a few times and some of the food I've ordered was the Spicy Caesar Salad, the hummus, the spinach and artichoke dip and the creme brulee. All of the meals were not only delicious but it's clear that CPH uses fresh ingredients. I typically order salads at restaurants and you usually expect a few damper pieces of lettuce, but the Caesar is always fresh and crunchy, the dressing well distributed, a perfect amount of parmesan and fun spicy kick to make the dish unique. Definitely my go to meal!The apps are also fantastic. The pita bread is great for dipping and has a wonderful texture. They also go great with both the hummus and artichoke dips. Both these dips are well seasoned, have a great consistency and honestly their hummus is some of the best I've ever had.Lastly the creme brulee is always lovely, great consistency and the burnt sugar on the top is always such a fun treat!Regarding drinks, CPH has a great selection of alcohol. The cans of ciders and beers they have stocked are from a great selection of local breweries, Jacks Abby, Downeast and Night Shift to name a few. And then there's the mixed drinks! They have a fun selection of cocktails. I absolutely love the brown sugar old fashioned. It's definitely one of my favorites.The staff is also phenomenal. All of their waiters and waitresses are attentive and always have a kind attitude. They're great about checking in when you need things.The kitchen crew is very talented and always keeping up the quality of their dishes while still getting food out at a fast pace. They really nail down the recipes even while changing out the menu every few weeks. It creates a fun enviornment for patrons because there's always something new and fun to try, but still always made with the same phenomenal quality.It's also nice to see how active the manager is on site. He's always running food to tables, checking in with guests and even running take out orders. It really speaks to the quality of the staff running the building.And speaking of the building, it's beautifully designed and well constructed! The bar is absolutely gorgeous and the seating is very comfortable. Eating next to the large windows brings in a lot of natural light which adds a nice aesthetic to your dining experience. The kitchen even has a window you can watch through to see the kitchen staff hard at work as they make your food.I would highly recommend Central Public House, between the fantastic food, amazing staff and just an absolutely fun atmosphere. You won't regret spending an evening here.“

“There’s always a first time, and for me, it was at this 99 Restaurant in Hudson. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Locals (and yes, I’m using the word just to mirror how Americans affectionately refer to the rest of the world’s population in their native places) probably don’t need an introduction to this chain. But for anyone unfamiliar, think of it as a Chili’s with a bit more dining space beyond the bar or an Outback without the grilled steaks.

The food is solid, with comforting options that cater to hearty appetites. I was curious about what sets 99 apart from similar chains like Applebee’s, and the answer I got was simple: “They think they’re better and charge more.” While neither is glaringly obvious, the menu does offer a few standout dishes, like the Shepherd’s Pie - a refreshing option compared to the usual burgers and fried food lineup.

Next time, I’ll try sitting at the bar - it looks like the kind of spot where this place really shines. For a casual, satisfying meal, 99 in Hudson is worth a visit.“

“We have had breakfast lunch at Eli’s several times, and have always had a great experience. Creative offerings, delicious food, large portions, great service. If we lived closer, we would eat there more often. Highly recommend!“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“1st time customer just passing through. Food and service were outstanding!! Great gem worthy of a visit, will definitely be back!! 5+ Stars“

“This place is an instant classic for me...full of nostalgic breakfast/diner vibes. Sit @ the counter and stools...or bring a family. Super easy access off 495 (south of the Pike). Full lunch and creative breakfast items will make this a go-to when down in that area! Food is solid, with breakfast options the focus (though slight knock for hash not being homemade!)“

“great menu selection and service! atmosphere is rather plain but it's clean and warm and bright so it's all good!“
