We walked in before the lunch rush, had a few questions about the menu that the team was happy to answer, we were able to order, pay, eat and leave within 30 minutes. Great local mom and pop spot. Will definitely be back“

“I’m a regular at Southborough location. I will remain a customer, but will say that the quality assurance in the kitchen is slipping. My last 3 orders were fouled up in some way.“

“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.“

“Steak 🥩 My favorite com purê de batata e legumes“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“Arugula salad is the best ever! Shrimp cocktail is excellent. The Lobster Guacamole, Spicy shrimp & hummus apps also excellent. Best entrees- Short Rib, Half roasted Chicken, Fish Tacos & their burgers delish. Best desserts: bread pudding - unreal!! & their salted caramel mousse and fresh whipped cream in the mason jar- ( tip may need a cig afterwards)!“

“Dined here last evening. Wow! From the moment you walk in you feel the warmth of the atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant. Subtle music, warm welcome and lovely decor. The staff is helpful and friendly. The presentation on the dishes is beautiful. I hope that more people discover this gem in Northborough. As a business professional, this would be my go-to place to bring clients and business associates. The owners are hands on and it shows.“

“Love the local musicians every Friday night! SUPPORT LOCAL!“

“Both Sam and Jess are wonderful, personable servers with a warm friendly personal 5 stars!“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“Great service and food was on point especially the home fries“

“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“

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“beautiful hiking trails, museums. super knowledgeable folks and incredible views!“

“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.“

“Very friendly and welcoming staff! Nachos are fantastic ... and had great recommendations for beers to try.“

“Stopped in for a shared lunch of clam chowder and a chicken sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato, with fries. Both were good although I wish I asked for the bacon to be well done. The sandwich was large and I had to take half home for a later dinner.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Had the Cesar salad, it was pretty good (a little overdressed for my taste). The service was very slow considering we were only 2 of 4 people at the bar. Overall not a bad place if you don't feel like going out, but if you have another option, I would probably pick it.“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“Excellent food and service. Will be back again.“

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

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“I was early an hour and 20 minutes for my 12 o'clock. Appointment and I didn't have a breakfast, so I happen to spot this right around the corner, and I have to say, I've had the best onion, bagel sausage, egg and cheese, sandwich that I've had. In a long, long time and home fries were really good too. The staff was wicked friendly and I felt very comfortable in there.I would recommend it 😎👍“

“Milford - First time in, did not love what I ordered and not only was it taken off our bill, but the manager gave us a $25 gift card to come back…that’s excellent customer service which impressed us. Flatbread was excellent, waitress was very kind and attentive and lots of local teens working which was really nice to see. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

“Great staff and the food snd drinks are amazing and delicious!!!“

“Best subs sandwiches Salads soups around. Would recommend to anyone Sam is one of the nicest person I have ever met. Takes the time to make sure your needs are met“

“Always a wonderful dining experience here. Service does a great job considering the heavy work load. The place was full, with people waiting, so it was a bit noisy, a bit challenging to converse over dinner. However that did not at all take away from the food and service. Never disappoint at CBG.“

“Best staff and vibe in Marlborough! My favorite spot!! 🥰“

“Thank you to Bolton Street Tavern who hosted the most beautiful celebration of life. The food was delicious and John and Sharon made sure that each and every guest there was taken care of. The setting was perfect with the beautiful lake in the background. And even the downpour of rain that passed by did not bother a soul as it was all covered. Lovely spot, great food, and most of all amazing staff! If you have not been there you must check it out!❤️❤️❤️“

“Great place great food and great people 👌🥂🍾“

“Attended a wedding here and the venue was excellent. The chapel did a great job of maintaining the 1700s feel while clearly being updated. The cocktail hour and reception/dinner where held elsewhere on the grounds and again were set up very well and the staff was very attentive and helpful.“

“Great breakfast food and service. Seating is limited by small size of restaurant. Clean rest room. Veggie omelet was very large. Comes with toast and home fries. Coffee was hot and never had to find someone for a refill.

Vegetarian options: Lots of add on. Veggies, beans, rice, toast , pancakes etc.“

“If you blink, you’ll miss it, but that’s half the charm. Once you grab a seat, order a drink, and take a bite of the pizza, you’ll wonder why you ever went anywhere else.

The bar itself is no-frills: dim lighting, and locals who look like they’ve been coming here for decades. But the pizza? Absolute magic. Crispy, slightly charred crust, just the right amount of cheese, and toppings that taste way fresher than you’d expect from a place where the beer is cheaper than water.

It’s the kind of spot you almost don’t want to tell anyone about, but the pizza deserves the spotlight. If you’re into character, cold drinks, and food that blows expectations out of the water, this hole-in-the-wall might just be your new favorite place.“

“Delicious food, great people!“

“Everytime we go to the Marlborough location, the food is great, the staff is great and management always checks with table to see how meal is going. No matter how many times you have been to this location the hostess Nina recognizes you and is very pleasant. When families come in she is great with kids.“

“staff was very Attentive and fantastic food great comfortable atmosphere“
