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

“Excellent service and the food was fantastic!“

“We were in the right town on the wrong date for an event so we decided to get brunch to make it worth our trip. We’re so happy the Early Bird called our attention. The plate pictures looked appealing on yelp. It was a happy surprise to see that they really care about presentation but most importantly flavor! You have to try their bacon jam 🤤 Their creative menu meets comfort food with gourmet food in an affordable and cozy manner. The portions were perfect too. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the food and very attentive. It’s great to have the experience of young staff that actually cares. Thank you, we look forward to stopping there again on the right date for the event we’re attending!“

“Very!! Impressed with the Bar Pizzas, we will be back for sure“

“They've changed their marinated mushrooms from served cold to served hot. The marinade changes when hot, and I wasn't a fan. The service was awesome though. They offered me a new side without hesitation. The rest of the meal was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“I popped in last Saturday and instantly fell in love with everything (white noise cocktal=HELL YES) to the totally lovely staff that took care of us during a hasty retreat out (boooooo!). NeverMIND how dope the food was. My reason to come down to Plymouth went up in smoke, but I WILL BE BACK ❤️“

“I visited as a stranger for the first time and it was very refreshing to be around such friendly and polite regulars. Connie was excellent behind the bar and the kitchen staff prepared a feast of a Fish sandwich (off menu) weighing in over 2lbs, tots and fries included. The price for food and fun was also refreshingly reasonable and I had a great early evening.

“PK Law Group had the pleasure of hosting a dinner with our associates last night at Cork and Table in Plymouth. The evening was truly exceptional, thanks to the extraordinary culinary talent of the chef. Every dish was a testament to their skill, made with the freshest farm-to-table ingredients and presented with creative flair. The food was nothing short of spectacular, and the service matched that high standard. A sincere thank you to the chef and the entire team for making our night unforgettable. If you haven’t been yet, make sure to experience this gem the next time you’re in Plymouth!“

“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.“

“After doing a lot of work around the house on Saturday we all decided to go out for dinner. Decided to try Liv. This was our first time trying the restaurant. Basically, food was good. Cocktails need work. Atmosphere was nice. Service was great.
We ordered the charcuterie board as we sat down. Good but it was a bit on the pricey side for what we got.
Drinks were subpar. Coconut margarita was ALL lime juice and just a hint of coconut and couldn’t taste the tequila. The pride day drink special was missing something which we couldn’t put our finger on.
For dinner we ordered fish and chips. Good except the fish was thin and dry. Fries were good.
The buffalo spaghetti squash Mac and cheese tasted good but presented as a plate of orangey brown pile of slop. We took most of it home. Yesterday I put it in a pie crust, mixed in a simple egg custard, covered it with cheese and baked it. It turned out delicious!! My suggestion would be to work on the presentation of this dish. Serve it in a crock or bowl with melted cheese on top or in a simple pie crust. The last thing we ordered was the veggie wrap. It was simple but delicious.
Will we return? Of course. We will try it again.“

“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.

“We ate at the Fairview last night. It was great. My husband had scallops and I had the short ribs. Food was delicious, price was so reasonable and waitress and service was great. We are coming back soon.“

“Michelle took excellent care of us despite having an insane number of tables to manage. Her personality combined with *the best* breakfast dish I've had in MA (Sweet Baby Ray Charles) made this a memorable experience.

My wife ordered the cinnabon pancakes with the frosting on the side, and that was the right call. The pancakes were amazing, improved marginally with some butter, plain old butter on top. The included frosting or maple syrup would have overpowered them and made them too sweet. They were amazing just as they came.

The Sweet Baby Ray Charles was an experience that, in the words of our waitress, will change you. Sweet, spicy, salty, savory, hallucination inducing... My new life's mission is to replicate their cornbread so I can put my own sweet and spicy chicken on top.

Do yourself a favor and get down here. Prices are reasonable despite the egg controversy plaguing Us in 2025, the coffee is good and plentiful, people are fantastic, and the food is wonderful.“

“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! ?“

“We ate at the Fairview last night. It was great. My husband had scallops and I had the short ribs. Food was delicious, price was so reasonable and waitress and service was great. We are coming back soon.“

“I was in yesterday, missed you Sue! I was too late for the Turkey Quinoa meatloaf, got the shepherds pie and it was delicious. Also picked up the Roasted Vegetable Soup which is always delicious and trying the Turkey Chili for the first time, I’m sure it will be great as every meal I’ve had from Depot Street Market has been!“

“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!“

“I substituted the chicken in the chicken apple Cobb salad with the grilled salmon and had the BEST salad I have ever had last night. Bartenders were also SO nice. Great place ..will be back soon“

The room was beautiful and we were able to bring in decor and a video slideshow. Highly recommend!!!“

“Katelyn and Jeff were absolutely kind and sweet to my niece. She’s very particular how she wants her ice cream and they were so accommodating and patient and made her day. It only took a little kindness from the staff and that’s it. Please continue to give this staff some love and come visit the friendlys in pembroke!“

“I love Venus pizza. It is delicious, crisp, pub style pizza. But, there is something for everyone on their menu. The restaurant is also very well staffed, from the hostess, the servers, the bar tenders, to the bus people, there is someone available to help meet your needs. On this occasion we ordered Pizza for our group, Band Together School of Music.“

“This was a really nice place with kind staff. I got the Jolly Pilgrim and recommend it if you like thanksgiving sandwiches!

They had a special drink of the month that was a banana split cold brew. It was tasty but too sweet for me personally.“

“Walked in and was craving a fried chicken bowl. There wasn't any so I asked if they had anymore coming. She kindly made me one, and was real quick about it. Been going to Bongis on Saturday lately as a nice treat. Staff of very friendly and helpful. Great prices and even better food!“
