“Dined here last evening. Wow! From the moment you walk in you feel the warmth of the atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant. Subtle music, warm welcome and lovely decor. The staff is helpful and friendly. The presentation on the dishes is beautiful. I hope that more people discover this gem in Northborough. As a business professional, this would be my go-to place to bring clients and business associates. The owners are hands on and it shows.“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERSTAR MOMENT! QUITE SOME Time passed since we had walked in and was seated. I had my toddler with me and my wife. They were both very hungry me included.

We just sat there for a long time with no acknowledgement. too long. And to have a coffee carafe there with no mugs was rough. We got up and left...I wanted to let them know. So I went back in and made sure they knew I had left. The manager and a woman with a nice long braid was with him they were both clearly sincere in their apology and asked us to come back in we did and food came very fast.

The food was amazing! The manager kept checking in to make sure all was well and ended up helping out on the bill for our troubles. We were out within the hour with full bellys. I really love this IHOP and today's visit helped bolstered my view of them. Mistakes happen. It's hard trying to feed a hungry family and keep everyone happy. IHOP manager and staff really pulled through today And made up for a small error thank you!“

“The other night I several of my dance students went to Welly's. Everyone order different dishes, all were exceptional. Drinks were great. And our waiter was right on the ball, took good care of us. One of the best restaurants around. Outside sitting if you choose. Parking garage close by.“

“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.“

“The experience at J's is always exceptional - beautiful old farmhouse, wood fireplace, clean, great service. not too loud. And when the food matches up with my tastes, it's a hit. I wish they offered more than 1 soup & more than 1 salad.“

“Best breakfast around !!! Great service and awesome food !“

“Stopped on way home from RI very friendly staff and the pizza was awesome 😋“

“I’m a regular at Southborough location. I will remain a customer, but will say that the quality assurance in the kitchen is slipping. My last 3 orders were fouled up in some way.“

“David and Diana are fantastic addition to Stevie's Café & Catering - Littleton, MA ! The food is made fresh to order. They are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies. The food comes out fast and fresh.“

“Want to relive the good old days. Ground Round is a must. So glad there’s one back in Massachusetts & hopefully other locations opening up. Last time I came to a Ground Round Location was close to two decades ago when many locations had shut down. I had the claim chowder, Steak Tips & Babyback Ribs combo with Onion rings & Mashed potatoes mixed with redskins. Absolutely phenomenal. Next time I’m either getting a NY sirloin Steak, Burger, a sizzling Southwest Nacho salad in a tortilla bowl, Chicken Parmigiana, for appetizer either Philly Steak & Cheese egg roll, Mozzarella Moons, Calmari, Wings loaded skins, or Pot O, Gold. The Nachos make sure you have at least 2-4 people with you cause it’s alot“

“Great service and wonderful food!“

“We were in search of an upscale pub and chose The Horseshoe Pub won out over our second choice (O'Connors), mainly because it featured 80 beer taps... EIGHTY! \nWe opened our meal, of course, with pints (a wheaty Weis beir for me to followed by a mundane but always tasty Guiness). The for of us shared apps of rueben egg rolls and German pretzels. Two of us ordered the Shepard pie which was tasty but noticably short of the requisite vegetables. One of us enjoyed a very well prepared plate of short ribs over mashed potatoes and fresh steamed veggies. Dark gravy to taste. Rave review for the fall-off -the-bone short ribs. Passed on dessert. \nA very pleasant experience with great service, ample parking, a wide wide variety of food, clean rooms and tables with plenty of space at each and a killer bar separate from the dining spaces. Reasonable value for fare on offer. \nOne caveat with of mention. Three of the four of us ate the rueben egg rolls and had upset stomachs afterwards. They were delicious but disagreed with our normally caste iron tummies. Don't know if it was the egg rolls or the sauce that they came with but they were the only dish we three shared in common. \nThis restaurant worth a visit and especially appropriate for groups of friends looking for a nice night out. \nNot specifically an Irish pub but Slante' anyway!“

“Red Heat is great with food allergies. My son has severe dairy allergy and Red heat takes it very seriously. They even have a separate, dairy free, fryer.“

“Very friendly and welcoming staff! Nachos are fantastic ... and had great recommendations for beers to try.“

“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“

“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 !!!!“

“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.“

“Love my favorite Athena Omelette!“

“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.“

“Ted's burgers is by far the best burger that I have ever had, the burger are full of flavors & it melts in my mouth every time I have the burgers, I feel like i am in heaven whenever I eat the burgers here at teds & the service is outstanding here & I wish every restaurant had the service at teds has, the atmosphere feels absolutely warm & welcoming every time l go into the restaurant, the employees are very kind, warm & welcoming and Ive had phenomenal experiences wether l've sat down or gotten takeout! I just love the overall vibe that the restaurant gives, teds is my favorite restaurant to go too & l highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great burger! I wish I could give this restaurant 6 stars but its definitely a 5/5!“

“Today was our first time trying 110 Grill. I'm happy we did! Good service and good food. I have to say I loved the tomato soup! For my dinner I had the lamb meatballs appetizer and a side salad. We'll definitely come back to try more of the menu.“

“Central Public House is a fantastic eating spot. The food is absolutely delicious, the staff is very attentive and the building itself is gorgeous.I've been to the restaurant a few times and some of the food I've ordered was the Spicy Caesar Salad, the hummus, the spinach and artichoke dip and the creme brulee. All of the meals were not only delicious but it's clear that CPH uses fresh ingredients. I typically order salads at restaurants and you usually expect a few damper pieces of lettuce, but the Caesar is always fresh and crunchy, the dressing well distributed, a perfect amount of parmesan and fun spicy kick to make the dish unique. Definitely my go to meal!The apps are also fantastic. The pita bread is great for dipping and has a wonderful texture. They also go great with both the hummus and artichoke dips. Both these dips are well seasoned, have a great consistency and honestly their hummus is some of the best I've ever had.Lastly the creme brulee is always lovely, great consistency and the burnt sugar on the top is always such a fun treat!Regarding drinks, CPH has a great selection of alcohol. The cans of ciders and beers they have stocked are from a great selection of local breweries, Jacks Abby, Downeast and Night Shift to name a few. And then there's the mixed drinks! They have a fun selection of cocktails. I absolutely love the brown sugar old fashioned. It's definitely one of my favorites.The staff is also phenomenal. All of their waiters and waitresses are attentive and always have a kind attitude. They're great about checking in when you need things.The kitchen crew is very talented and always keeping up the quality of their dishes while still getting food out at a fast pace. They really nail down the recipes even while changing out the menu every few weeks. It creates a fun enviornment for patrons because there's always something new and fun to try, but still always made with the same phenomenal quality.It's also nice to see how active the manager is on site. He's always running food to tables, checking in with guests and even running take out orders. It really speaks to the quality of the staff running the building.And speaking of the building, it's beautifully designed and well constructed! The bar is absolutely gorgeous and the seating is very comfortable. Eating next to the large windows brings in a lot of natural light which adds a nice aesthetic to your dining experience. The kitchen even has a window you can watch through to see the kitchen staff hard at work as they make your food.I would highly recommend Central Public House, between the fantastic food, amazing staff and just an absolutely fun atmosphere. You won't regret spending an evening here.“

“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.“

“Always good service and great atmosphere“

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

“The best place I love it and the people that work there to very professional tooo 🙏🙏❤️❤️“

“Food was very good. Atmosphere is LOUD. Family friendly, but not many choices for kids on the menu. Good section of Cocktails, Beers,and Wines.“

“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! ❤️“

“This place is an instant classic for me...full of nostalgic breakfast/diner vibes. Sit @ the counter and stools...or bring a family. Super easy access off 495 (south of the Pike). Full lunch and creative breakfast items will make this a go-to when down in that area! Food is solid, with breakfast options the focus (though slight knock for hash not being homemade!)“

“Great dogs from great people“
