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

“Went to Vilma’s Restaraunt at the Touisset Vountry Club for lunch today. The food and service was excellent. My husband and I each had the Lobster Roll sandwich on the buttery New England style rolls. We ordered it with Mayo instead of butter. It was delicious. The mayo is homemade and has a very slight hint of lemon flavor to it. It came with French fries or Portuguese fries (chips). Absolutely delicious. Go try it for yourself. It’s open to the public. They have entertainment every other Saturday and on some Thursday nights. It’s definitely worth the trip and reasonably priced.“

“Anyone complaining about the staff must love to complain and is a miserable grump because every single person that works here is sooooo friendly and polite. I have been here about 5 times for lunch and I can’t find a thing to complain about. This is a bar with food and they go above and beyond. Prices are cheap. Food is good.“

“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 !…“

“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.“

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

“21 November 2025 update
How do truly feel and review a classic restaurant like this when the business has been sold. Our experiences and this cuisine is non transferable. There is no other Polish food in this area like this and therefore its a real loss. Too sad as we are going miss this.

Amazing and not to be missed. Make the drive over to South Main St., where you will be served freshly prepared Polish food that is affordable and the best in the region. You will not be disappointed!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“Waterdog delivers on every front. The food is delicious, crafted with care and full of bold flavor. The atmosphere is wonderfully eclectic, giving the space a personality all its own. The service is outstanding, warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A spot that makes you want to come back again and again!“

“Great overall experience“

“great place great food drinks were amazing....thanks Darlene for everything we will definitely go back and recommend this great place to friends and family. Can't wait to try your expresso Martin's next time I go back. Tried my husband's it was so delicious. Great night for sure.“

“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.“

“One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time, staff has been very friendly everytime I have gone in. 5/5 stars“

“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.“

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

“Harry’s Restaurant made our family feel right at home. We were visiting from Florida, and this was one of the highlights of our trip to Fall River. From the moment we walked in, the staff welcomed us like family, making us feel like longtime regulars.

The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions. Our breakfasts were cooked perfectly, from the eggs and home fries to the toast and breakfast meats. Everything arrived hot and quickly, and every bite was delicious.

What truly made the experience memorable was the incredible hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to make sure our family had a great experience, and their friendly service made us feel genuinely appreciated.

If you’re visiting Fall River—or you’re a local looking for an amazing breakfast spot—I can’t recommend Harry’s Restaurant enough. Great food, wonderful people, and a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Our family from Florida will definitely be stopping by again the next time we’re in town!“

“Delicious fish and chips! I went yesterday the kid taking my order was super friendly! The fish and chips are so delicious definitely coming back thank you“

“We went to the Newport location. Everything was quality & delicious. The frozen key lime drink was so refreshing. The vibes were great. The bartender was very friendly and anticipated our needs. Definitely a favorite new spot!!“

“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 ❤️“

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

“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'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!"“

“Waiting for car service, walked in for breakfast after seeing good reviews. Was seated immediately and service was great. The food was exactly what you would want for a classic breakfast and the French Toast was great. I was there for about 45 minutes, and there was constant business . . . Most of whom were greeted by name. Nice locals place.“

“They were so busy today, and had a lot of people being straight out rude during this rush. I found the food to be delicious and fresh, the server, and management to be excellent under pressure, courteous, and professional. 10 out of 10 all around.“

“Awesome place great staff wonderful customers“

“I’ve enjoyed a catered meal from Leon’s a few times and everything is always fresh, delicious and the presentation is great. Highly recommend if you’re having a party or gathering!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was excellent and the service was great. Some of the other customers were very nice and respectful. Will definitely be going back. Excellent job“

“Food was delicious love the music 🎶“

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp“

“So I gave the food a 4 because I alerted our server about my shellfish allergy. But I think the vegetables they served me were not cooked or prepared in a safe area. I had to take medicine as soon as I left. I know a lot of things are out of people's control and im trying to live with new allergy for the last 3 yrs at 55. I left her 50% tip on my bill ($67)because our server was so nice and sweet with a great sense of humor. I would recommend my friends and family to go there.“

“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.“

“wish you were open later. love to get a coffee and hang out. covid is over“

“😍😍😍BEST 🌭WIENERS IN RI😍😍😍“

“My wife and I were visiting the restaurant for the first time after hearing good reviews from customers. The food was very good, the setting was pleasant and very clean, and our server, Lena, was terrific! We will definitely go again and let our friends know about our experience.“

“This is my favorite breakfast spot,perfect portions very reasonably priced and great service! I bid goodbye to Alice’s I have found my breakfast spot!“

“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 ⭐️“

“Really good Lobster Bisque soap purchased from a local supermarket here in NE PA. Backstory. I attended Endicott College back in the day and remembered sitting on rocks in Rockport with bunch of friends, enjoying the fresh, local seafood. 🍤 I recently noticed this brand while shopping and although pricey, I decided to try it for lunch today. The boil bag was easy peasy, enough for two bowls and like I mentioned to poster below, I purchased some RANA lobster ravioli that were void of any indication of lobster, although it was listed as second ingredient on packaging. I combined the two. What a delight with great flavor, thick broth and satisfying product. It’s what I purchased when your New England establishment is a distance away. It’s next best thing! 😋🦞“

“Everything we had to eat was incredible! The drinks were also phenomenal! and the service was impeccable! Looking forward to going back and trying more of their menu“

“We try to make it there at least once a week for breakfast. The food, the atmosphere, the staff and management all great though one waitress Donna goes above and beyond to everyone she comes in contact with and with a smile. All the help are good but Donna is above the rest, if you’ve had her for a waitress you will see for yourself. You have to try their Portuguese beans, huge portion enough for two, best in the area.. first was recommended by Donna been getting them since. You have to try this place once for yourself you will be glad you did

Vegetarian options: They have vegetables you can choose from you have the choice of adding meats if you wish.

Parking: A few parking spaces in front, but Plenty of free parking spaces behind the establishment

Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of places to park wheelchair accessibility parking lot behind the building“

“Another great lunch steak tip are delicious!“
