Parking: There was plenty of parking available within the free parking lot.

Kid-friendliness: They are very welcoming to kiddos.“

“This quaint local treasure was recommended by a friend who lived in the area long ago. The food was great but our server Darlene stole the show. She said she has been working there for 47 years, Wow! She had us laughing with some of her experiences. What a great experience.“

“the best comedy show Dirty Dirty hosted by The Comedy Barbarian . The last Monday of every month“

“Some of the best breakfast food in southern New England. This was one of my dad’s go to places to get linguica cheese rolls or a well made omelette with prices that don’t break the bank and very good service in the process. This place has meant a lot to me and my family over the years and the fact that we have absolutely no problem waking up early traveling from Cape Cod to go here speaks volumes which is why it’s always a treat when we do go.“

“Awesome place friendly staff great service 🤘🤘🤘“

“Love 💕 the food and drinks 🍺 delicious 😋“

“Tried this place for the first time…what a great place! Three different bar areas, one being the “garage” which was very cool and with the nice weather it was beautiful. No room thought so we sat inside at the another that was open to the garage area. Bartender (sorry didn’t get her name) was great! Super friendly and she didn’t rush us to order which was nice! We started with the Portuguese egg rolls which were really good and we both had burgers, I had one of the specials (Big French onion) and it was DELICIOUS!! Will definitely be back!!“

“Absolutely adore The Sail Loft. The restaurant is full of natural light and a harbor view. Clean, airy, serene. The staff are incredibly friendly and professional. The management team and owners are visible and greet us whenever they see us. The food is outstanding. My significant other and I always go with a ceasar salad, with house made croutons, lemon dressing and crispy chicken. It hits the spot everytime. We've also had the brownie sundae - our little guilty pleasure. We have been three times and each time everything has been top notch. The surrounding shops are also darling and worth a visit. Highly recommend Sail Loft.“

“What started as a trial turned into a love for martial arts. Emily has grown so much since starting with Soares Martial Arts. She has adapted the martial arts black belt in training mentality towards everything she does now. I absolutely love the way the staff is always welcoming, encouraging and dedicated.“

“I would highly recommend Little Moss. Creative menu. Very comfortable dining experience. Terrific service. Food was delicious. Soft shell crab and Foaccia bread and ricotta for apps were a great way to start off the night. It only got better from there.“

“Best waitress I’ve ever had. I go every Friday morning.“

“PLEEEAAASE bring back your Stuffed Quahog! I tell anyone who will listen to me that yours are the best around..nice creativity on the “Quahog bites” but candidly they aren’t even close. Great meal and atmosphere as always but not the same without your signature appetizer- at least in my book…“

“This is officially our new favorite brunch spot! Food and service are truly amazing! Scott was our server this past weekend, and he made us feel like we’d been coming here for years. We got the zucchini fritter Benedict, a Belgium waffle with fresh berries and a breakfast burrito with sausage, home fries and fresh pico de gallo. The menu had a nice selection of Benedicts - We can’t wait to go back and try them all! The zucchini fritter and crispy prosciutto complimented each other perfectly, and inspired us to crisp up our own prosciutto. What a creative twist on an old classic! The waffle had the perfect amount of sweetness and the variety of fresh berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) was a nice addition that gave it a little tartness. They added roasted red peppers to the breakfast burrito which really made it stand out, and we loved the fresh pico! The restaurant also has a full bar and lots of specialty brunch drinks. There is high-top seating at the bar area, as well as tables throughout the restaurant. We did not have to wait this past Sunday when we arrived at noon, but we were told it does get busy on the weekends, so there could be wait times. Prices were reasonable, which is rare nowadays, and the portions were generous. The quality and creativity of the dishes absolutely blew us away. This place is truly special! Open until 2pm on Sundays, definitely check them out! Cheers and enjoy!“

“My girlfriend and moved to the area recently about 2 months ago we love to come to Ansel's cafe at least once every 2 weeks sometimes once a week the food is absolutely amazing the service is impeccable and the drinks are outstanding there is no better place I would rather spend my money and feel fully satisfied going home and may I add the garden is amazing“

“Great food, service by Evan was awesome.“

“Dillon's is the triple threat restaurant 🍴 1. Great Food 2. Great Service 3. Great Value For my dollar, there's no better spot in the city!!“

“Fantastic service!! They really catered to my disabled mom and her needs. One of the owners greeted us immediately and was very friendly and took care of us the whole time. This was our first time here, even though we live not far from it, but we will definitely recommend this place!! We will most definitely be back. Thanks for such great food and service.“

“ my mother died a year ago yesterday and I went to Joe's original to eat because she loved going there. It was a really enjoyable experience. The food and service were good thank you for making my memorial to my mother a very special one.“

“We go every weekend, usually Sunday afternoon just to hang out with Caitlyn the bartender. She is the BEST & always on point!! She goes above & beyond for all her customers & is always cheerful & pleasant!! We give her a big 10😀“

“dNB has a simple but creative menu. It's refreshing to find a place that has a flavorful and diverse lineup of burgers.Small but well curated selection of bourbons and beer, and the cocktails are well crafted.The people here are cool, and the location is comfortable.“

“Absolutely love coming here for a drink or their delicious pizzas and specials! Thank you Sous Chef Matt & Server Lisa for great experience!!!“

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Underrated gem! Super good atmosphere, the food is the best in the city honestly, price wise and taste wise! Incredibly good selection. I promise it’s not what it used to be, too many people pass this place without giving it a shot, it’s an absolute GEM! What a nice place, I’m so happy I decided to stop by despite what many of the older crowd has said to me. I’m a local, I’m 21, and I’m a young guy, apparently according to the locals this place was such a dive back then. I could not be more happy to learn that it’s not what it used to be at all! Nancy is a wonderful bartender, chef, and owner! Highly recommend!“

“I visit Friendly's about once a month, my client enjoys the free sundae that comes with his meal , my waitress Carole always remembers his order and he loves the tomato basil soup.“

“I generally get take out breakfast for my son and me, I've never had a meal I didn't like. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is only cuz nothing/know one is perfect :)

“We had our office Christmas dinner/celebration last evening. We had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the server was very pleasant and patient as we were a larger group. I highly recommend the Atlantic Bistro.“

“We had a great Sunday brunch at Walrus & Captain! They were so kind to open and outdoor table early for us so we could enjoy brunch with our dogs even on this chilly day. Food and service were fabulous 👌 👏 Thank you!“

“Pretty awesome little stop. Got two fish and chips. The gentleman working there was pleasant and funny, like that quirky uncle you only see once a year at Thanksgiving.
Fish was cooked perfect, xtra thick filet, i didnt ask but i think it was cod, generous portion of fries.
Will be back to try out more of the menu and shakes.

Parking: Huge parking area next to outdoor seating“

“I loved the food, but if you say your dog friendly then actually be considerate if a dog barks once or twice. I was told I would have to leave if my dog barks again (only barked once because he got excited about food and being in a new place). Just my opinion, but if you list yourself as a dog friendly place then you should expect not all dogs are just going to sit still and not bark or move around a bit. Dogs aren’t made to just sit still. I would love to come back as long as they don’t complain about me bringing my dog.“

“Oh my goodness, we had the BEST experience at this restaurant. The restaurant has a comfortable, family like feel. You can tell most of the people are regulars. The food was excellent seafood, fresh and well prepared. Each dish our large group got was thoroughly enjoyed. But, the BEST part of the experience was our waitress, Joyelle. She was the only waitress in the room, which she took control of with ease, and she was so funny. My dad's a jokester, and she gave it right back. We had a lot of fun and we laughed and laughed. She took great care of us. So, couple divine food with an amazing personality taking care of us - you get perfection.“

“nice little place run by nice people and very affordable. no frills just good food at a good price

Parking: plenty of parking in parking lot

Wheelchair accessibility: plenty and i mean plenty of handicapped parking gue to an adjacent medical facility“

“After driving by countless times, and always seeing the parking lot full, we finally were able to stop in ourselves…and now we know why the lot was always full. The food was delish, the service was excellent! Kacey and Bea were the bartenders and our servers as we sat at the bar. I had the fancy burger, would highly recommend!“

“very professional worker's great food awesome drinks“

“Tried Back Door Burgers for the 1st time. Sounds like it's no longer a back or side door. Pickup is in Merrills and with the hostess. Went with the Brooklawn burger. Added a second patty and bacon. Couldn't taste the bacon jam, wondering if it was light or missed. Added some burger sauce at home and it helped. The onion rings were good. Meal was very pricey after the upcharges.“

“Such great atmosphere. The live band, food, and drinks were amazing! Can't wait to come back again!“

“Huge shoutout to the amazing crew at Knuckle Heads Bar & Grill! Sarah was mazing this weekend as crazy busy as it was she kept the drinks flowing and Kathi for helping out… Sal for making sure things ran smoothly!! And of course Jeff for making sure the kitchen runs smoothly!!! Thank you to an AMAZING staff as well.. food is amazing along with the environment. See you all soon.“

“I always look forward to my Fridays when I get to see my two favorite bartenders, Kelly and Jane. Applebees is a great place, and it’s wonderful people that make the difference. I often tell my friends and anyone who asks if they’re looking to have a great meal and wonderful experience, to visit Dartmouth Applebees.“

“Great food and very friendly environment ✌🏾😌“

“My husband and I visited the restaurant for the first time last night, selecting two different steak plates each. The cuisine was exceptional, with fresh, high-quality ingredients used throughout. The steak was cooked to perfection, the round cut fries were outstanding, and the rice was soft and freshly cooked. We were impressed by the culinary experience. The staff's attentive, friendly service contributed to our positive experience. We intend to dine there again. Our gratitude to Chef Cabral and staff for their warm hospitality. The experience evoked memories of Portugal.“

“Great pizza 🍕!! Prime rib is a good portion! Hot meatball grinder or ziti with meatballs is also a favorite. Excellent fish and chips-freshest fish ever! Great atmosphere and reasonably priced. Oh, they have a salad 🥗 with grilled chicken, dried cranberries, cheese 🧀, cukes, onions and they have a raspberry vinaigrette that is sooooo good!! I make my own but this I could drink by the glass!! Lol 😂“
