“Cravable food, awesome beer selection, super cool staff, great vibe.“

“My wife and I just left Logan’s table and I have to tell you it was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time. I had the Ahi tuna meal and it was one of the best Ahi’s I’ve ever had my wife had the shrimp and scallop genovese and she loved it We will definitely be back great job by all and the service was also great“

“Steak 🥩 My favorite com purê de batata e legumes“

“Wemmy's is an excellent, upscale restaurant, perfect for special occasions. We had cocktails and steaks with wine, everything was perfect. Dessert was really good. Service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. Only shortcoming was the bread, tired slices of white bread that were dry from sitting out too long. Glad to have this new restaurant in Marlborough!“

“Kennedy’s feels like home, with food that hits every time. From the cozy pub vibe to the standout dishes like the Tomahawk steak and clam chowder, it’s the kind of place you visit once and can’t wait to come back to. A true New England gem.“

“Great service, reasonable prices, delicious fresh food with customer care being clearly a priority.

We walked in before the lunch rush, had a few questions about the menu that the team was happy to answer, we were able to order, pay, eat and leave within 30 minutes. Great local mom and pop spot. Will definitely be back“

“Id give a higher score for the atmosphere. A 1700 tavern with working fireplaces. Pricey but not outrageous for what you get. But the food and drink is fresh, local sourced and well prepared. All food ingredients sourced from local farms. The turkey dinner is impressive. I love the weekly specials and season appropriate soups and drinks
My fav time to visit, fall winter when they get the fires going. Lots of local music talent play there.
The chef obviously loves his job. Waitstaff long timers.“

“Today I went into Johnson’s with my dad! He was having a hard day today! He was a little confused the staff inside Johnson’s could not be more accommodating! I so very thankful for your kind hearts 💕 and patience! My father loved his lunch and the Sundae!!!“

“Delicious food and drinks. great service and location.“

“went for Dinner last night and had the Sausage penne pasta in Vodka Sauce and The Pulled Pork Dinner, They never Disappoint. The Apple Gongazola Salad also Amazing.“

“Always fantastic food in very special old New England building with wonderful interior, lighting and terrace. If you’re looking for a special setting for a special meal this is unbeatable in the area.

My recommendation is to do a wine tasting before 5.30pm when that closes, to decide your favorite wine, then go to dinner and order a bottle.“

“Love the local musicians every Friday night! SUPPORT LOCAL!“

“Beautiful interior, attentive and friendly waitstaff and a mouthwatering menu. Meal is an entrée item and sides are a la cart but family style portions. I loved the balsamic seared brussel sprouts eith goat cheese. Very satisfying meal, best I'd had the whole week.“

“Both Sam and Jess are wonderful, personable servers with a warm friendly personal 5 stars!“

“I work construction right down the street and around the corner and needed a quick eat to bite. I saw this place on maps and went to check it out. There was no one inside but the two ladies working in the kitchen behind the counter. One of them asked me what can she get for me and made me an egg sandwich right there. Great service, great food, I highly recommend.“

“Friendly staff. Food was great! Owner makes his way to everyone table to ensure customer satisfaction!“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“Birthday celebration at Brady’s. Chef brought out a 4 week aged Tomahawk steak for the birthday boy. Brian took excellent care of us and made most of our meal/wine decisions, which I appreciated. The best dessert - toffee top pudding. We will be planning our next event here“

“beautiful hiking trails, museums. super knowledgeable folks and incredible views!“

“There’s always a first time, and for me, it was at this 99 Restaurant in Hudson. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Locals (and yes, I’m using the word just to mirror how Americans affectionately refer to the rest of the world’s population in their native places) probably don’t need an introduction to this chain. But for anyone unfamiliar, think of it as a Chili’s with a bit more dining space beyond the bar or an Outback without the grilled steaks.

The food is solid, with comforting options that cater to hearty appetites. I was curious about what sets 99 apart from similar chains like Applebee’s, and the answer I got was simple: “They think they’re better and charge more.” While neither is glaringly obvious, the menu does offer a few standout dishes, like the Shepherd’s Pie - a refreshing option compared to the usual burgers and fried food lineup.

Next time, I’ll try sitting at the bar - it looks like the kind of spot where this place really shines. For a casual, satisfying meal, 99 in Hudson is worth a visit.“

“Had the Cesar salad, it was pretty good (a little overdressed for my taste). The service was very slow considering we were only 2 of 4 people at the bar. Overall not a bad place if you don't feel like going out, but if you have another option, I would probably pick it.“

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home . The Food at Lou Roc's is Incredible !! And the Portions of Food are big . And the Prices are Reasonable . My Friend and I usually go once a Week . But we will return again Tomorrow . Thank you For Such Great Food .“

“Family friendly food in a family friendly atmosphere, a welcome addition to Boxborough’s otherwise nonexistent dining options. If you’re looking for a brewery, go to Dirigible. If you want better food, go to Oscar’s. But if you want somewhere you can enjoy a beer outside while your kids play games (corn hole, ping pong, shuffle board) with decent vegetarian options, then you’ve come to the right place.“

“The food and service is superb!“

“Nice little dining room perfect for a quiet meal out. Great food service and atmosphere. Staff was very accommodating of our desire to get a light bite, soups and apps, rather than a full meal. Good parking across the street on the side street next to the restaurant.“

“Milford - First time in, did not love what I ordered and not only was it taken off our bill, but the manager gave us a $25 gift card to come back…that’s excellent customer service which impressed us. Flatbread was excellent, waitress was very kind and attentive and lots of local teens working which was really nice to see. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

“As always great food and service. The only issue is you need better blinds in the front. Even when you lower the blinds it does not block out the sun also the sun reflects off the cars parked in front of your Great Restaurant and shines right in at us and other customers at the high tops near the bar!“

“We had such a great time there. Riley our waitress gave us exceptional service. She's an asset to your business. The cocktails were great... Food tasted really good... loaded baked potato was so good... we will definitely be back for more ❤️“

“We usually sit at the bar and get immediate service. The bartender last night even remember us from a few months ago. She remembered what we drank. My sister ordered the same as last time and I ordered a slightly dirty Tito’s martini with a special request for bleu cheese stuffed olives. They were perfection! We both ordered the ahi tuna with avocado and jasmine rice. Omg it was to die for. I can’t wait to go back and order it again. I wish I could remember the bartender’s name so I could give her a shout out!!! All it says in the receipt is server: PM.“

“Went to experience their Oktoberfest menu. The food was delicious. It is hard to find German dishes in Massachusetts, so I was especially excited and we ordered a lot of dishes. My favorites are the wurst, the beef stroganoff, tand the saurbraten. I would suggest that if you get the applesauce meatloaf, that you ask for the applesauce on the side instead of on top. It was a tad too much applesauce for me. I went a second time to get dessert. They had a "dessert tray" where they brought out covered dessert selection, which was very cool. The black forest cake was very good. Unfortunately, they only have these items during their oktoberfest (late September to October 31). But I suggest marking your calendar for next year if you missed it!“

“well i have not been to an applebee's in many years but decided to try....i was pleasantly pleased...ate at the bar and service was friendly and efficient....drinks (theirs, off the menu) were good....pretzels as an app were excellent and both of us enjoyed our meals, we had the big cluck chicken sandwich with a side caesar (which was far larger than i expected) and the cheese burger ( cooked as ordered)...both were very good....inside was pleasant and got pretty busy after a while....liked it!!“

“Very nice.. Great selection for breakfast. Fresh fruit to cooking anything you want. Nice for people that don't like a buffet style breakfast. Very clean and service was great. Something's I can't not eat and there was no problem finding something because they have so much to choose from.
Just great all the way around !!!!“

“Great Food! Great Staff! Great Value! Great Experience Overall!“

“Came to pit stop tavern with my friend and his son it was my first time coming here and our server Mariah’s customer service was amazing including her suggestion for chicken bacon and ranch pizza with a nice cold bud light from a fresh new keg that was just put in Would Definitely recommend this place and enjoy and if Mariah working request for her as your server“

“1st time customer just passing through. Food and service were outstanding!! Great gem worthy of a visit, will definitely be back!! 5+ Stars“

“Best baked haddock i have ever had . Unbelievable!!!“

“Update: May 2025: I'd still say 4/5. The lamb chops were delicious, even my young child enjoyed having some of my lamb chops. But I ordered a fried app onion and no one brought it out! The meals came without the app so I asked the server delivering the food (different person brings out the food) to cancel the app fried onion because I didn't want it if my meals were here now. The app didn't even come out with the meals. The waiter was nice but he might want to check on apps because the bigger the bill the bigger the tip. Dollar store is now gone next door. Replaced by a liquor store. Still in Hannaford plaza, but I hear Hannaford is leaving soon.
Older review : Decent local steakhouse. Tucked next to Dollar tree in the Hannaford plaza. Not 5 stars because many times steak will be under or overcooked. Also, if they ask if you want pepper on the steak say no. They had a problem with over peppering steaks because when I complained that I couldn't eat the steak because it was like someone dumped a whole pepper shaker on it, waiter said many have complained about the pepper. Last visit no one asked about pepper so maybe they did away with asking and putting pepper on steaks. Disappointed they got rid of the porterhouse for 2 meal, which was a great deal if you were ok with sharing with the person you were dining with. If looking for steak I would recommend this location because they do have a variety of steak and price options. Also call ahead seating is available!“

“Awesome food and experience. Our waitress Celina was amazing very fun helpful and full of smiles.“

“Brenna and Lisa were warm and welcoming. One of the kitchen members came over to see if we wanted to box up our left overs. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so much fun. What’s better than playing Keno, having a cocktail, and eating great food with your best friends listening to the juke box? Can’t wait to come back for more!“

“I live like an hour and a half away from this restaurant, I was here for a hotel stay, and we(my family and I) went here for dinner, and it was the best food we’ve ever had. My brother had the steak and it had butter on it that was just mouthwatering. My mom had cheese burger sliders and she said that the serving was perfect, and they were just overall delicious. My dad had the ribs, and he said they were the best ribs he’s ever, and each rib had a lot more meat on it than he had expected. Both me and my father had the Cajuns sides(fries/tater tots) and they were perfectly seasoned. Me and my sister had the Mac and cheese, I couldn’t finish it the portion was so big, but my sisters was a smaller portion and it was perfect for her because she finished all but like three bites. Not only was the food delicious but the wait staff was incredible. They were so polite and on top of things, and our drinks were always full. One of the wait staff, I didn’t get her name, had moved around the table to be near my brother when he ordered because he was a little nervous. The food came out very quickly and the atmosphere was incredible, as well as the fact that the place was over all very clean. Honestly the best dining experience I’ve ever had.

Kid-friendliness: My little sister wanted the Mac and cheese, but it only had the adult size, but they gave her a smaller portion for a less price, amazing for her.“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“Our 1st visit...won't be our last. Our server was Sarah...FABULOUS young lady. The meals were delicious. Baked Haddock made MIL very happy as it was the best she has ever had AnYwHeRe. I absolutely encourage people to try this place if they haven't already. Spacious dining area, not loud echoes like other 'factory' sites. Food is great.“

“Victor's feels like home! The food is always delicious, the service is warm and welcoming, and it's our go-to spot for family meals. It never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“They have excellent cheeseburgers.“
