“Food portions and flavors are AWESOME. STAFF IS FANTASTIC“

“Went for early dinner on Saturday. Was greeted promptly by Diana who was an absolute pleasure. She was kind, helpful and attentive. Chef Nicholas came from Kents so Mom had the clam chowder which was as delicious as she remembered. Lobster roll and sweet potato fries were fantastic and my chicken parm with vodka sauce was amazing and the portions were generous. Great quality and value. Excellent first impression, and we'll be back very soon!“

“As strangers to the area, my wife and I hoped we'd get decent food at reasonable prices from this sports bar, and that's exactly what they delivered. We were compelled to offer this review due to the excellent service Libby gave us. She's a gem. We're sad we live over 1,000 miles away and can't frequent this restaurant regularly just to get more of Libby's great service. Best wishes to you, Libby. Debbie and Jim.“

“I tried the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw on it today at the Attleboro Farmers Market. I don't know what is in their BBQ sauce, but I would buy it by the bottle if I could! The pork was nice, juicy, and flavorful and the cole slaw was crispy and fresh. I will have to search them out again if they won't be at the AFM!“

“Last night, we walked towards The Aviary's entrance surrounded by beautiful flowers and lots of hydrangeas. Magical. The restaurant itself did not disappoint as it too was absolutely lovely. The wait staff was superb. Nice and efficient and they got every order perfectly. We were delighted. However, the food left a bad taste for sure. We were served room temperature brussel sprouts that were not cooked! Calamari was overcooked and rubbery. Pasta dish was floating in oil!! Total disappointment. Sadly, this beautiful restaurant has not earned our repeat business.“

“Well seeing I haven’t been to Friendly’s in some time. And I’ve come to get a quick bite to eat to find I have a server in training “ Stephanie” who was nervous but pleasant with a inviting g smile that set my atmosphere of being a guest with my company. She assure she got the order correctly to our liking to our order and was pleasant to please and accommodate our needs. If unfamiliar with a menu she quickly excuse herself to inquire with her shift boss. Who was just as pleasant and knowledgeable to what Eva ? that may have riser. Needles to say to find I had points and a member to top it off I got a sundae of one scoop to find 2 scoops and the cost would be 2$ and 5$ off the bill to our surprise. That’s “ Friendly “ is a place I rather be to have such server as Stephanie!!! As I told her she a trainee that has pass the test of time !…“

“Delicious food and the owner is very kind and made my day ❤️“

“went here for the 1st time ever with my son. not only where we made welcome but the food was to die for. so so so good. we definitely found our nee breakfast spot. if you want family friendly and home cooking I say try this place.“

“We are sorry it took us so long to discover The Square Peg. Cozy, old colonial vibe, delicious fall sangria and scrumptious comfort food. Our first visit was a perfect complement to our day visiting farm stands and enjoying a beautiful October Saturday. A bonus is that the location could rival Salem in October minus the crowds. Just perfect. We loved the chili with sour cream, cheese and onions on top, the patty melt and the ahi tuna tacos. All were delicious and reasonably priced. We look forward to visiting many times.“

“My go-to order in most places would be a Reuben. The quality of the meat, bread and the balance with the sauerkraut, sauce & cheese say a lot about how the restaurant approaches their food. The 02878 is the best Reuben sandwich I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Now I will have to find another go-to for other restaurants because they will pale in comparison to Localz 02878.“

“I wanted to come back and leave a review for this unique and cozy restaurant. Me and my husband dropped in and honestly had one of the best dinners we've ever had. The vibe of this restaurant in general is great. It's quiet, cozy dimly lit Aunt. I couldn't stop staring and everything. The food was amazing and tasty. I had the Mozambique mac and cheese which was suggested by our lovely pleasant waitress. It was so tasty, one of the better dishes I've had in years. The chicken wings, are the best chicken wings I've ever had. They were the Sriracha honey wings, crispy and incredibly juicy and tender. We also had the deconstructed s'mores dessert which was so good and I'm not a huge dessert person and even I was amazed by this. We would definitely come back again and I highly recommend you come here for dinner.“

“Just came from Palmer River Grille, it's very nice inside and the food was excellent. My wife had a small issue with her meal (no need for details), the managers took care of it no problem, which they don't have to do, so I want to take this opportunity to thank them. Our waiter Derek was awesome! Just want to acknowledge everyone there, the wait staff etc. are very friendly, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and their food. I would recommend them to anyone and for sure we will be back. Thank you!“

“love the food and drinks they were AMAZING ❤️❤️💯“

“Superb customer service—everyone was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The blueberry pancakes were fantastic, and the short walk from the Lizzie Borden House made this a convenient and delicious breakfast stop. Highly recommend!“

“The good food and friendly service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very pleasantly surprised! Great menu and service. We ate at the bar. The atmosphere is nice and low key. We can't wait to go back.“

“Stephanie was an exceptional bartender—easily one of the best servers we've ever had. She was incredibly knowledgeable about gluten-free options, which made a huge difference for us. Her attention to detail was impressive, from promptly changing out silverware between courses to keeping our drinks filled without us ever needing to ask. The food was outstanding! The carpaccio was the best we’ve had, and the gluten-free s’mores dessert was absolutely delicious—a perfect ending to the meal. The atmosphere had a great vibe with stunning views, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back!“

“They make the best chow mein sandwich since China Royal.“

“TRAFFORDS TESTIMONIAL Perhaps once in a lifetime you find someplace really special for you and your spouse. Seven years ago we went to Trafford’s for the first time. What we remember about it was how it made us feel. Both of us work hard in our professions and to go out to dinner and find wonderful food, excellent and attentive wait staff, and relaxed environment simply made our day. We then came every month at least once mostly twice to enjoy the excellence and serenity at Trafford. Sadly we lost this when the fire occurred for several years. Then absolute joy when Trafford’s reopened and we found the same wonderful food, wonderful staff in a simply beautiful rebuilt building. The joy we felt and the absolute calm and serenity is all back for us. Recently we celebrated my 76th birthday at Trafford with my entire family. It was amazingly special for me and we had our special event upstairs with the entire place devoted to us . Chrissy our server did an awe inspiring service for us making it perhaps one of the most special birthdays I have ever had I have attached a picture of this special moment. I work in the computer software business doing quality assurance 10 hours every day. Being able to calm down and relax completely at Trafford’s is simply a joy for us. I will always be thankful for this the rest of my life Ugh Sincerely Nicholas McKinney“

“"I've had the pleasure of visiting Cornerstone Lounge multiple times, and it never fails to impress. The dishes are exquisitely delicious - I've tried them all, and each one is a standout. The drinks, music, and ambiance come together to create an amazing atmosphere that's perfect for any occasion. The service is top-notch, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who make sure you're well taken care of. Our server was particularly friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, I love Stone Corner Lounge and can't wait to return. Highly recommend!"“

“I go maybe twice a month Love their coconut shrimp it’s absolutely so worth the trip no matter where you live Friday I brought a group of friends and all the dinners were fabulous. Waitress so kind and accommodating with some questions my friends needed to know So eat and be merry if your a couple or a. Big family. You won’t regret going Love being treated with such kindness ❤️“

“I went to the Granite Grille today with my friend and my grandma. My son is in the Culinary Arts program, and we wanted to experience the restaurant, and it was excellent! The students who waited on us did a great job. My watermelon lemonade was delicous, and I forgot to grab a picture of the burger for the review because it looked so good that I got right on into eating it! The waiters did good checking in with us, and answering questions we had. The students and staff are doing an amazing job. It was an all-around great experience, and we will definitely be going back soon.“

“Great family-run neighborhood diner! Food was excellent. Servers were very attentive and all standing at entrance to dining room to serve you. It looks like they are family. So much fun seasonal décor! Very clean. Highly recommend. Bring cash. Parking on side street.“

“Server was very kind. But service in general was terribly slow. Over an hour wait to get our food. Food was fine, standard breakfast fare.“

“This is a grown up restaurant, the flavor is center stage and worth the price of admission. I tried things I went "I won't like that" and my mind was blown because I did like that. Best bread and butter I've ever had hands down. The duck breast was literally the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.This place has me considering staying single just so I can eat here more. And honestly, I only came here with my sister because she said this is the best restaurant. I can't translate the menu, but after this visit, the next time I come I'm just going to say to the waiter "I'm planning on spending this much, the chef already knows they know what they're doing". Because the chef knows what they're doingTo long didn't want to read: would come here again over go Karting. Recommend you do too“

“Food was delicious love the music 🎶“

“Amazing scene, great vibe and amazing live music!!“

“My husband and I had lunch there today (Wednesday) and everything was phenomenal. We arrived at about 1:00 and there were several other tables but still many available - there were also 2 large parties while we were there. Our server was Christine and she was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. It is Halloween season and the decorations truly are a spectacle - kids were walking around and people were taking pictures. We had almond crusted haddock with sweet chili sauce - it really was a high-end dish done to perfection. Looks like we have a new place to add to our favorites!“

“Amazing in every way, I’ve been delivering here working for UPS for awhile and decided it was time to check it out. Bluewater did not disappoint and delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had! Can’t wait to go back!!! Five STARS ⭐️“

“My first experience here. I have to say the service (Megan) was amazing! She knew everything on the menu and then some. Was an excellent Bartender . The portions were BIG and delicious. I highly recommend. You will not be disappointed“

“I recommend everything about this place - phenomenal restaurant. Service was top notch. Oysters were perfect and lobster rolls were huge - they say 8 ounces of lobster - had to be closer to 1 lb. On a Friday, got there at 8:30 PM (after the dinner rush) and had no wait for a table. Pretty much a perfect dining experience.“

“This is my go to place in Bristol. I deem this as a hidden gem and in my opinion, one of the best kept secrets in Bristol. A very cool vibe and a fantastic selection.“
