“Perfect diner vibes with excellent food! The Turkey Club was one of the best I have had in a long time! Fresh ingredients and the FRESH CARVED TURKEY made it just perfect! We also had a Belgian Waffle with Fresh Fruit that was delicious! Perfect combination with the Club Sandwich!

Service was also amazing, kind and attentive.

We will come back again when we are in the area next!

Thank you Jimbo’s!“

“This place never lets me down. It’s just like the slogan says- always the real deal. The seasonal specials keep it fresh and my favorites are always on the menu too. The Horeshoe Ale is cold and goes down easy. I have some friends who are a lot “pickier” than I am, when it’s time to choose a restaurant. None of them ever say “no” to the Nines.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!“

“Bartenders are great, everyone is friendly.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

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

“Went out for my birthday dinner with friends and had a great time. Our server Walter was amazing and kept us laughing with great service. All 6 of us really enjoyed our food. I definitely recommend the chicken loretta. The back room could use some updating but otherwise I highly recommend visiting this restaurant.“

“I've been to the ESPN Sportsbook a handful of times to watch the Patriots. Great atmosphere to watch a game, even if you're not betting on the games. The crowd is into it. The food is good. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I've recommended it to a bunch of friends and clients in the area. It's much better than the sports bar inside Encore in my opinion.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best bar in Attleboro Falls.“

“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.“

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

“Awesome service and great food. First time here. Will absolutely be back!“

“My son and daughter in law suggested the Mad Moose for her birthday. Great atmosphere with great pub food that won’t disappoint. Michele our server was great, very attentive and very personable. Great value!“

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

“Google translate is your friend for the menu. Atmosphere and service are both casual. But once you're served: excellent. Wonderful flavors, chicken perfectly done, portions are just right. Treat yourself to a tamarindo. Will come back regularly.“

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

“A Double Cheeseburger that melts in your mouth!😋😋“

“That was a sweetheart thing that was done for me when one of the waitresses did for me when my blood sugar was too low and I was offered a breakfast as that waitress offered to pay for it as I felt awful and cheap. I want to know if the menu has sweet potato benedict on the menu as they all should it is so much healthier for all of us! I can't up load my picture but could wish all waitresses all a very Happy Easter as He is Risen!“

“The place is so amazing and food is so delicious. The staff are very friendly.“

“First time patron. Short staffed but you wouldn’t know it. Staff we’re all exceptionally attentive. Food was excellent and the prices were less than those of the larger places. Recommend you give it a try!“

“Stopped by for lunch…I ordered the chicken tender basket which came with fries and onion rings for $15. The chicken tenders were hand-battered and delicious! Generous portion for a reasonable price! Will come back when I’m in the Hopkinton area!“

“Awesome meal and will definitely be back. Would like to see more steaks or maybe a Prime Rib on the menu as well as a more robust cocktail menu. All we were provided was a beer menu which was robust but neither my wife or I are beer drinkers. The Old Fashioned was outstanding,. There are also very limited gluten free options.“

“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.“

“Our first time here trying there food.
We were taking part in the Best Burger in RI

They were absolutely delicious and tasty.

We plan to go back for BBQ 😄 .“
