“It was our first time there on a rainy day last week. We always see it so busy so we decided to see what the hype was. Cute environment service was decent food was absolutely disappointing, ordered buffalo Mac and cheese it was so watery and tasteless I decided not to complain or send it back. When we were ready to leave the older waitress asks me if I wanted a box. I declined politely and was then asked if I was full???? Ummm no and as I’m trying to be polite you’re gonna make me insult the cooking anyway. SMH so I did so when I was then asked if I just did not like it. I replied absolutely not a d got the nastiest look. Lmao just a brief word of advice… when someone’s plate is still FULL of their meal and it’s pushed to the side MAKE THE CONNECTION instead of all the questions and ridiculous comments and also keeps your eye rolls to yourself. You can tell it’s all locals that rant there!“

“Shout out to The Depot for catering a graduation party for us...the food was amazing! Everyone was saying how great the food was and asking where I got it! The steak tips are to die for, the mashed potatoes are the best we have every had, the chicken tenders, chicken ziti and broccoli and the lasagna were delicious...these are the comments I heard all night. Thank you Kathy and The Depot staff!!!!“

“We held the Pembroke Council on Aging's Volunteer Luncheon there on April 14th. From the start of planning to the end of the event Debbie and her staff were on point. Debbie was very easy to work with and I would go back there in a heartbeat.“

“Pizza is the best around!“

“Somewhere Else Tavern along Rte. 127 in Bryantville/Pembroke, Mass. I must say I've been at the building, since 2009 (15 years) when it was "Old School". It was a building then, a bar/restaurant of sorts, but now it is someplace special. Since Lori and Jayson, who also own the "Fork in the Road" delicatessen in Bryantville and the Olde Hitching Post restaurant in Hanson, took over the restaurant and renamed it, it is now a place for excellent food, beverages, and a wonderful, wonderful group of people, their patrons. What makes Somewhere Else truly special is that on almost every night, Jayson, Lori, or Lori's sister, Lee Ann, will be there taking care of their customers..... their friends. This past Sunday, was Lori's birthday and EVERYONE was included to celebrate her birthday, Chinese food (seemingly Lori's favorite), cake and ice cream shared with all. But best of all, was not the food, but the celebration of friendship.... Thank you Lori, Jayson and Lee Ann. For those of you who have not stopped by, do so. You'll enjoy your time at the Somewhere Else Tavern.“

“My husband and I had our wedding at TJ Smith's and it was a wonderful experience. They were always so quick to answer questions and assist us. They handled everything the day of and ensured our wedding was a huge success. We didn't have to worry or stress about a single thing. The price is amazing for the value and I highly recommend checking them out. Our wedding was absolutely perfect!“

“Good restaurant but the chicken wings weren’t good.The chicken was over cooked and very dry with no flavor.I love wings but won’t order from here any more“

“love the people and food!“

“Impeccable quality and presentation every time. Five star!“

“We went in at 5:45 on Saturday and got seated right away. Our server, Marina, was very friendly with a great sense of humor. She brought our drinks quickly and took our orders and brought our food out hot. We got the Smash burger and Cowboy burger and they were cooked just the way we asked. Looking forward to going back for the fancier entrees or one of the Saturday specials. Great job by all.“

“The Square Cafe is now my go-to spot. Their bread pudding is the star - I'm still dreaming about it. The holiday cocktail menu is fun creative and festive. The Sesame Salmon is a masterpiece - perfectly seared with a crispy crust while staying tender inside. The spicy soy beurre blanc sauce and wakame seaweed salad create an amazing blend of flavors and textures. What makes this place truly special is the exceptional service. Sean, Amanda, and Jimmy created such a welcoming atmosphere for our party of 9. Jimmy didn't miss a beat and was very attentive. Sean & Amanda's friendly personalities made the experience even better. Thank you! Whether you're coming for the amazing bread pudding (which you absolutely should) or the delicious food and cocktails, their warm hospitality made our visit extra special. Five stars, easily one of the best dining experiences on the South Shore.“

“As a member of the Boston Vegetarian Society and a vegan for over three decades, I was delighted to discover delicious vegan options on the menu at the Sun Tavern. The culinary standout, smoked tofu, surpassed expectations with its extraordinary flavors and textures, while my wife Meg's pasta dish presented a delicate balance of hearty and fresh locally grown ingredients. Celebrating our 44th anniversary in such a charming ambiance was a true treat. The Sun Tavern’s commitment to delivering satisfying and robust vegan cuisine positions it among the finest dining experiences in the South Shore area, ensuring it takes a well-deserved place on the vegan-friendly epicurean map.

“Holly was our friendly and attentive waitress when I visited this restaurant for the first time with my dad the other day. Things oftentimes get heated when my dad and I discuss things, and Holly was very good at giving us the space we needed when we needed it without sacrificing the proper amount of attention and service. ???
The food at Kevin's was surprisingly good, especially for the fact that I hadn't heard that before! I built my own omelet with jalapeños, feta, and onions. The home fries on the side were among the very best I've ever has! And Holly kept our coffee ☕️ filled to the brim!
I would have preferred the outdoor seating, but my dad doesn't really like sitting in the sun, so we ate indoors where I wasn't super-crazy about our spot only because it's such a quiet restaurant, and my dad gets angry with me and doesn't realize how loud he speaks when that happens.
I would definitely return to Kevin's fit a quiet, relaxing, very reasonably-priced meal. Next time with my wife, so there won't be any heated discussion! ?“

“Outstanding Brunch and Exceptional Service at Fireside Grille! We recently celebrated my parents’ 65th wedding anniversary at Fireside Grille in Middleboro with 13 family members, and the experience was absolutely wonderful. The buffet brunch was delicious, offering a great variety of fresh and flavorful options. Our servers, Luis and Cheryl, provided outstanding service—attentive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the entire meal. A special touch was when the owner, Erin, personally came to our table to wish my parents a happy anniversary. The entire staff even joined in to sing to them, making the day even more memorable! From the warm atmosphere to the exceptional service, Fireside Grille exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a fantastic dining experience with great food and a welcoming staff, I highly recommend Fireside Grille!“

“Salmon was perfect both times I’ve eaten here recently . The Mother’s Day brunch buffet was excellent.“

“Very good meal and drinks“

“Where do I start!? I am from upstate New York and visiting my dad and wife and made it a point to go to E/2 and enjoy the amazing food and atmosphere. Charlie, the owner made one mean expresso martini. Our waiter, Eric was exceptional and was attentive. The Chef, George did not disappoint! Best scallops I've ever had! Pan seared monk fish with risotto was absolutely divine. My boyfriend the carnivore, enjoyed the succulent and savory tasting ribs that fell right off the bone. Thank you yet again for the amazing meal and great service. We shall be back soon!“

“Great food, friendly staff, quick service“
