“I hosted an event in The Old Court's function room this week, and I could not recommend it more highly. Finbarr and his team were so helpful and kind in the planning process and the day of the party. They went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The food we ordered was delicious (special mention to the potato skins). Cole was our bartender upstairs, and he was quick, friendly, and helpful, making sure everyone had a good experience and that we had what we needed at the end of the night. I would absolutely use the function space again, and will be back for meals in the meantime. Thank you!!“

“Have always enjoyed our trips to the IV Seasons. Haddock is excellant as is their beef pot roast, (2 of my favorites! Comfy atmosphere, great wait staff !“

“First, I'd like to say I tried contacting Charlie's before I went this route. I didn't get a response. I've been to Charlie's with a group of 8 for lunch. It was very good. We got what we ordered and everything was delivered together. On Friday, 4 of us went there for food and drinks before the Folk Festival. Okay, Corona, I asked for lime. Didn’t get it. No biggie. Two of us ordered hamburgers, one ordered a tuna sandwich, the 4th haddock. Nope, no haddock. Okay, sirloin tips. Nope. Country chicken. Nope and don't know what it is. Okay....I'll have a hamburger. 15 minutes after (mind you 25 minutes have already passed), sorry. no buns. How about white bread! 40 minutes after initial order, hamburger on white bread and something resembling a tuna sandwich (?) arrives. We felt sorry for the waitress. But definitely poor service. I'm sorry I have to post this, I like helping local businesses, but lack of listed items was horrible.“

“Had the fish and chips along with a few adult beverages. Food was 💣!!! And drinks ice cold and refreshing. It was great to see Dick and got to catch up with some friends. Thanks Kilkenny Pub - it’s always a fun time.“

“Did not order food- been a while since I went here. The place seemed to have a old and new crowd to it. Bartender was new (used to a female bartender there) was not thrilled with my drink but the dude was nice. Had to move around but an ok visit“

“prompt service, clean & great steak tips“

“Many great years of shows“

“We regularly visit Paddy's and always have a positive experience. Their staff is super friendly and treat their regulars fantastic. The food is standard American bar food, and you get exactly what you expect. We enjoy their Monday night trivia and special events. I also appreciate that they are involved with the community, like opening early after the Turkey Trot. If you are nearby, it's worth a visit.“

“The place to be. Amazing genuine people.“

“First time checking out the Billerica location, we go to the Tewksbury location all the time. This location is located inside of an old
Colonial style building. The bar side looked great but we sat in the dining room. The menu is the same and the quality of food is great. The craft beer selection was decent with a few local breweries represented, including Spy Glass Stateline IPA. Which was tasty. I got the Western Burger which did not disappoint either. Fries are always great, nice and crispy!

Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is great! It’s the main reason we go so often. They make a great grilled cheese with fries for a reasonable price.“

“At the 99, I had their turkey dinner. The biscuit was the best. The rest of the dinner was good.

My partner ordered a chicken Caesar and was surprised the chicken on the salad came cold. They were very understanding when he explained he didn't want cold chicken.

The server did a good job.

Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free when the Red Sox win.“

“we just got take out from the Billerica 99s and our meal was wrong . We called just to see if they could make us another one and they went above and beyond to make up for it. They made us a whole new order, gave our money back and gave us a free dessert! I l know things happen and food isn't always the way it should be during take out but I appreciate the fact they went above what they could of to replace it. @billerica“

“I love it here. Always good food and always a hoping place“

“Today I came to eat at 99 and it was just as it should be. i parked my car for the first time of 2025 at 99 expecting a calm atmosphere, attentive waiter, and speedy service n thats exactly what i got. In my personal experience they've definitely up'd the ante seeing their past reviews“

“I just had pizza from there a few days ago. They have a big Mac pizza there that is great. Had a beer while I waited for it. I went one other night and they had a girl singing, she was very good. It's too bad they don't have any booth seats there, I don't “

“We are staying at the Westford Regency and noticed Clark’s Pub. We didn’t want to go out for dinner so we decided to give it a go. Well, we were very happy that we did. Our server was very friendly and provided prompt service. My wife and I both had the Tavern Burger and it was wonderful! We both had a glass of wine, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir, and both were quite good. We will definitely go there again and highly recommend Clark’s Pub.“

“Beautiful, charming place with lots of character and atmosphere! Very friendly and courteous staff, personalized service. We were in the area only two nights and ate there twice. Order quickly when you are there because quantity is limited, the 1st evening there was no more chicken pot pie at 7:30 p.m. and the 2nd evening it was the cheesecake which was sold out. The food is excellent, very hot and homemade.“

“It's always a little weird to walk through Whole Foods to go to a bar, but the tap list at J. Bartlett's is genuinely one of the best in Southern NH. They feature several dozen beers on draft, most of them from local brewers, and while they do have the typical abundance of hoppy IPAs they also have things like pilsner, helles, porters, and stouts, enough to make up a few different flights of non-IPAs. The vibe is very relaxed, and you can have food while you enjoy a drink. I wish it were a little bit larger so it didn't feel so much like a vestigial limb to the Whole Foods it's connected to, but overall it's a great little spot.“

“We ordered for take out on Saturday night, I got steak tips and my husband got the grilled salmon he's very picky about his fish, after finishing it he said it was great, cooked just right and tasted delicious. He was very happy with the fish and the steak tips were delicious.“

“Fun night playing keno and bumping into many friends ..“

“great sports bar, good food, awsome drinks!!“

“recommend restaurant......“

“Cool place. I liked it. Beer was cold.“

“Roast turkey dinner is really good, the broccoli casserole as a side with it is disappointing with a blanket of crunchy cheese on top of undercooked broccoli but the turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and biscuit were fantastic. Rootbeer is great not watery like it is at other restaurants 👍 desserts are average except for the chocolate cake that was perfect“

“There were 11 of us, we were all very happy with our meals and drinks. Stuffed mushrooms caps were excellent as well as baked haddock, tacos and montery chicken. We would have used app plates if available. After dinner the kids had a great time at the arcade.“

“Atmosphere was nice great waitress“
