I really wanted to like Tessies. I had a great experience my first time there, but my second time was awful. My burger was served cold - like it had been sitting for longer than it had been since I placed my order. I mentioned it to the server, who said she would warm it up. I thought maybe I misunderstood, but nope - the same burger was served again, but this time scalding hot, fresh out of the microwave. I sent it back and they took it off the bill, but I left disappointed. Less of an issue, the kids hot dog has grill marks and kids Mac & cheese is heavy on garlic, both of which are no-go for most kids. 2 stars because the first time was good.

I wanted a really delicious high-end burger. My friend and I went online, looked at all kinds of restaurants. We ended up here. We were not disappointed!!
I got #12 The Goode Burger. Delicious!
Beer selection was also great.

Tessie's in Walpole: A Must-Try for Burger Lovers!
Stopped by Tessie’s in Walpole with a few friends the other night, and let me tell you—this place delivers when it comes to burgers. I went with their signature burger, and from the first bite, I knew I had made the right choice.
The patty was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor, topped with fresh ingredients that made every bite better than the last. The bun? Buttery, toasted just right, and held everything together without falling apart. Add in their crispy tots on the side, and you’ve got yourself a meal worth coming back for.
Beyond the food, the atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it a great spot to hang out with friends. The service was friendly and quick, even though the place was buzzing.
If you’re in Walpole and craving a top-notch burger, put Tessie’s at the top of your list. You won’t be disappointed! 🍔🔥 #BestBurger #WalpoleEats

Good atmosphere, good service. I had the #1 TESSIES burger. I usually judge a place by its burger. It was meh at best. Not good burger to bun ratio. Patty was small, not a lot of flavor and overcooked. Bacon jam was good, just not enough to overcome the excessive bun for the patty and toppings. Aioli was good. Bun was too big, lightly toasted trying to mask old bread.
Roughly $20 for a below average burger? I won’t be back.

Ordered the Mama needs a night out burger, waiter suggested medium which he said was pink in the center - it came out cremated. My mojito was mediocre - no mint, no sweetness - basically rum with club soda. Tater tots only fair, fries good.

Great burgers!!! Drafts are excellent. Service is perfect!
Went for a birthday dinner. They sat 6 of us immediately and were very attentive! I ordered the fried chicken Sammie and it was amazing! The chicken was a nice big portion on a warm pretzel bun. We got our food in a timely manner and the whole party was satisfied!
Highly recommend 10/10 for me!

food is good but disgusted at the quantity of take out compared to what you get when eating at restaurant. Also they charge a packing fee for take out which I find to be BS when I am giving my business to an establishment.

I was incredibly disappointed with my experience at Tessie’s. Our party of seven, which included three children, arrived expecting a nice evening, but we ended up waiting over 50 minutes without any clear updates or explanation. They don’t take reservations, which is understandable, but the way they handle seating is chaotic and unfair. To make matters worse, we saw smaller parties and even friends of the staff who arrived well after us get seated right away, while we were left waiting with restless kids. After all this, we decided to leave because it was clear they had no intention of prioritizing fairness. The lack of organization, communication, and blatant favoritism completely ruined our evening. If you’re planning to dine here with a larger group, especially with children, don’t waste your time. Tessie’s needs to seriously improve their system and customer service.
***** after owner’s response ****
That was no magic to be done many other lower top with 6 or 7 people clear a party of a similar size of mine seat that new the owner even asked one of the receptionist to talk to her dad who also I think was working there. We had 3 kids and we waited of an hour and it was not Saturday night we arrived 4 pm and we left after a party with the same size of ours sat 10 minutes after they arrived because I felt so disrespected.
I was a regular customer since the restaurant was way smaller than it is now.

We did a build your own burger that came to $25 without many toppings. Unreasonably high. Not worth it. Paid less at Capital Burger on Newbury St
Service and food excellent.
