Colonial House Restaurant in Norwood is literally just that; a colonial house restaurant in a Norwood neighborhood surrounded by homes. There is plenty of parking behind the “house” from the street. Once inside you will find it quite charming, with throw back Americana decor that lends to an equally charming atmosphere. Service is very friendly, helpful, and prompt. With a limited menu, we found the food to be somewhat of a hit and miss. For me, the French Dip au jus was perhaps the best I’ve ever tasted. No two or three layers of meat here. It was an ample portion, appropriately plump, cooked to rare perfection, and comes with plenty of ‘jus’ too; no jamming the sandwich into the bowl to get that last drop. The Fries were just okay; not much flavor and very little salt. The Margaritas are most excellent, tasty, and effective. For her, the Sausage Pizza was meh; a little too cheesy, the sausage lacking flavor, and a pretty much non-existent crust. Overall, it was well worth a visit. If you’re headed to a show at Fallout Shelter, it’s only a six-minute drive from the “house”. Recommended.

Hidden gem! The food was delicious as always, my personal fav is the scallops & clam strips. Can’t leave without having clam chowder. The turkey tips & pizza is my second choice! Great food overall tho - Miggie is the best!! The waitresses do a great job!

Friendly, casual family-style restaurant. Wife enjoyed the baked stuffed haddock which was pipping hot and flaky, but her mashed potatoes were dry/crusty and butternut squash were not great. I had steak tips, fries and asparagus. The fries were bland shoe string fries and the asparagus did not look appetizing at all and I did not touch. The steak tips were fine I got med/rare and were cooked correctly but for $25 I got like 3oz of steak (6 chunks). The party next to us got onion rings and some loaded tater tots appetizer which both looked better (I would opt for onion rings instead of fries). There is parking in the back lot in the back (use google maps satellite view to see it you cannot see it from street view). Our waitress was friendly. Root beer is from a glass bottle and was not mentioned when ordering. I wish staff would mention this when ordering I usually ask but forgot this time. We arrived at peak time place was busy but no wait and the service was pretty slow. Prices are a bit higher than I expected and what is online. Cost was $60 2 dinners with soft drinks and no appetizers/desert. Place was extremely warm (borderline uncomfortable) and cozy old pub atmosphere. Nothing fancy but it wasn't sketchy either.

A little outdated and the food was mediocre. Small and quaint.

Not quite what we expected. Came here after a family wake.
This place is mostly a pub
with food added. I had eggplant parmesan, which was good. I was very hungry. Others had the Mustang burger, Haddock parmesan, and loaded potato skins and a side salad. I'd rate the food good. We had an excellent wait person. She went above and beyond.
We won't be back.

After seeing a post of the pepperoni pizza on facebook... we had to go for ourselves. I got the cheese pizza and the boyfriend got baked stuffed haddock. Everything was delicious and I loved the pizza. Our waitress Linda was so pleasant and so efficient. Great dinner out and definitely will return ?

Considering it was a Saturday night, we waited over an hour for the two meals. In the end I feel it was worth the wait. The prime rib was delicious and was a very large portion of meat. I would still consider going back here when Im in the area with ample time to wait for a healthy filling meal.

The wait staff was fast and friendly. The prime rib I got looked nothing like the picture online. Talk about bait and switch!
