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

“Excellent service and the food was fantastic!“

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

“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!“

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!“

“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!“

“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 ❤️“

“Very good meal and drinks“

“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.“

“Great service outstanding food friendly atmosphere.. going to return with my wife and family next year. Employees were polite. Gift shops close by and the Bed and Breakfast was very clean well maintained.. Super nice.“

“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.“

“The food is so good! Love the staff there“

“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.“

“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!“

“I’ll start with the positives: the food was excellent, the drinks and views were awesome, and even the wait wasn’t bad since the chairs were comfortable and you could grab a drink while waiting. That said, this is definitely not the best spot for a relaxing Saturday date night. There were so many unsupervised kids running wild that it completely killed the vibe. Three separate groups let their kids kick and throw dirt until they broke the landscape lights. Another child (maybe 5) spent nearly an hour standing knee-deep in the pond in her sneakers, again with zero supervision. I don’t mind kids being kids, but when they’re totally unsupervised and destroying property while parents just zone out, it’s a whole different level. Add to that kids jumping all over the dock, it was pure chaos.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Enjoyed two evenings at CJ’s recently. Hope, our server, was engaging and very helpful. She recommended the steak tios and brussel sprouts appitizer. Both were delicious! Hope also makes a great french martini! We can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“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! ?“

“food was fast and delicious“

“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!“

“We were recently treated to a magnificent Valentine's Day dinner at the farm. From the moment of arrival and warm welcome, the experience feels special.The cozy farmhouse is the perfect backdrop to the amazing seven course meal. Each course was full of surprise and delight. My favorites included the whipped feta, the lobster pad thai, and the chocolate tart dessert. I would highly recommend Just Right Farm for a romantic night for two, or a really fun and unique group get together. Also, as part of the local wedding industry, it's a true wedding venue hidden gem, perfect for foodies looking for an upscale, intimate celebration. 5 stars!“

“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.

A lot of the salmon dish and filets were all cooked to perfection. Cynthia the server was knowledgeable and professional. She expertly handled questions regarding allergies and gluten free items. The room was beautiful and we were able to bring in decor and a video slideshow. Highly recommend!!!“

“Tried for the first time today… our waitress was wonderful, the drinks were awesome, and our meals were delicious! Best fish tacos I’ve ever had, can’t wait to come back!“

“Very good. I chose the smoked pork belly burger with upgrade to side salad. The burger was delish with just enough heat to give it a kick. Salad was fresh and ample portion. My dining companion chose the short rib toastie with side of fries. He deemed it very good. Nice beverage selection. Beverages properly chilled. Very good service. I will be back. Highly recommend.“

“This family-owned business, originally started by the Bongiorno family (shortened to 'Bongi's' back then—a true reflection of the times, especially given our vibrant Italian-American community now!), has been a pillar of comfort for my family for decades.

My connection to Bongi's is deeply personal: when my mom and dad passed away suddenly, a thoughtful friend sent us their complete turkey dinners on both difficult occasions. That act of kindness, delivered via Bongi's, is something we will never forget. To this day, we regularly rely on them for quality meals ourselves and for sending sustenance to others who are grieving or in need.

I was recently amazed by the sheer variety of their frozen pot pies (both turkey and chicken!). They offer every combination imaginable: white meat, mixed meat, with or without veggies. I was inspired to stock up and try a few! You can also count on them for high-quality sides, especially the gravy.

The food is consistently exceptional, and the staff is wonderful. Bongi's is an absolute must-visit local landmark.“

“Went to the Oysterman in Scituate. The most amazing meal from start to finish. We had oysters, ceasar salad, pork chops,swordfish. It was amazing. The staff was even better. Never missed a beat !!! Thank you for an amazing night. Everything was above and beyond anyone's expectations. Drinks were beautifully decorated with flowers too. Don't miss out. Try this new hot spot with amazing decor, Food and staff“

“I had an outstanding brunch outside at the patio bar. Shannon was our bartender. She took such good care of us. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and suggested some delicious beverages when we couldn’t decide. Definitely go to Winslow’s and check out the patio! It’s a relaxing and chill experience you will not regret!“

“Great place for all things sports and a fun night out! Food is amazing, staff is friendly and the new ownership gets it and invests back into his community.“
