Food was great. We had steak tips, turkey tips, and haddock and everyone loved their food. Server was friendly and knew the menu well.

This place completely exceeded my expectations. I went in expecting typical bar food, but was pleasantly surprised by how good everything was. We ordered:
Fish & Chips – Fresh, perfectly golden and crispy, paired with house-made tartar sauce that was absolutely delicious. A true New England classic, and they nailed it.
Clam Chowder – Another local staple, and once again, they did not disappoint. The only thing I wanted after finishing was more chowdaaaa.
BBQ Bacon Burger – My boyfriend ordered his medium rare (he’s convinced he’s Gordon Ramsay now), and they cooked it perfectly. Great portion size, generous bacon, and all the classic toppings (lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomato) made for a seriously satisfying burger.
I highly recommend this spot for a family dinner, date night, or even a casual night out with friends. One thing to note (not necessarily a negative) is that it’s tucked away from the main road—but honestly, that just adds to the hidden gem vibe.
Definitely worth checking out.

We recently hosted my sister’s baby shower at this establishment, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was beyond amazing. Every staff member was friendly, attentive, and so genuinely helpful.
While I was still finishing up setting up, we needed assistance bringing in a guest who uses a wheelchair. The manager Cheryl G went above and beyond by meeting them in the parking lot and personally pushing her all the way into the room and getting her settled in her chair. This thoughtful gesture allowed our guests to comfortably enjoy the event and gather gifts without needing to make multiple trips.
I also want to give a special thank-you to the event coordinator, Dawn, who was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful throughout the entire planning process!
The level of care, kindness, and professionalism shown by the entire team truly stood out. It made the day completely stress-free and even more special for our family. Absolutely wonderful staff and an exceptional experience. I would highly recommend this venue for any special occasion.
Really great restaurant if you want something a bit different without spending too much more than your average chain! I've been here for date nights, a wedding rehearsal, and a function. It's always a good time.
Special thanks to Cheryl, Reina, and everyone else for serving us in the East Room tonight. They're so friendly and accommodating.

My family and I recently held a mercy meal at The Establishment after my grandmother’s funeral, and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. From the moment we arrived, everything was handled with such care, professionalism, and warmth.
Our server, Ryan, was absolutely outstanding. He ran the bar, served the food, checked in on every table, and somehow managed to do it all with a genuine smile. His kindness truly made an emotional day so much easier for all of us. He kept everything running smoothly and treated our family with such respect — we are beyond grateful.
The room setup was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the warm cookies they served at the end were the perfect comforting touch. Everything felt thoughtful and intentional.
I’m so appreciative of the staff and management at The Establishment for creating such a welcoming environment on such a difficult day. We will forever remember the kindness shown to us here. Highly recommend this restaurant for both everyday meals and special occasions.

The Establishment earned my 5 Star Review, from Sophia delivering the Booth I wished for, to our Dinners, Steak Tips and Turkey Tips, to the expert, kind, and service with a passion our waiter Mohammed was Exceptional. I Highly Recommend The Establishment Restaurant in North Chelmsford. We will be Back.

Pizza was bad and the service was worse. Came from a benefit upstairs for a child that has an illness and others from the benefit were told they would not be served because they were at the benefit upstairs. Made no sense and still doesn’t. Would not recommend this place to my worse enemy.

What an absolutely awesome party we had at The Establishment on Saturday!
The two women who set up the room, bartended, laid out the buffet, and cleaned up were magnificent. These women were so efficient, skilled and professional in the way they handled every aspect of the party. They were really very impressive and a huge factor in the success of the party and the comfort of all the guests. They did all the hard work, we just enjoyed ourselves.
I was blown away by the way the room had been set up before we even got there—the water service at one end of the bar, the coffee/tea service all set up and laid out so nicely, the linens on all the tables were so crisp and clean, the whole room was perfect. Then the buffet (magically) appeared with no muss or fuss, the food was delicious, the timing was excellent, it was such an impressive operation all the way through.
I am SO GLAD we didn’t try to plan/prepare/execute this party ourselves because you all made the whole event so easy and seamless and really very festive.
One of my cousins has a background in hospitality and he told me twice during the party that this was the right place to host an occasion, and that The Establishment handled everything beautifully. That was high praise coming from someone with a critical eye! But I didn’t need him to tell me that everything was just perfect. It really could not have been better.
And we thank Dawn very much for all her help and patient advice in the weeks leading up to this event. Her guidance was spot on. Everything was flawless.
What a great team of people The Establishment has put together. We couldn’t be happier with the event you planned/ carried out on our behalf. Thank you to all the folks who contributed their particular expertise to make our dad’s party such a happy, successful and memorable event. We are most grateful!

We placed an order via DoorDash and our dasher stole our food. After going back and forth with DoorDash … we ended up speaking to the manager of establishment Jessica who was an absolute angel. She took care of re making our food right away and followed back up with us as soon as the order went out. Her customer service was top tier and we are so grateful for all of her kindness and going above and beyond!
