Ordered the cozy greens salad for takeout (first time
eating here). Food was very yummy but very overpriced for the size. I added the turkey tips for $7 and it came with only 4 tips.
Great atmosphere, great waitress but the food was terrible, 4 of us went, 4 different meal choices and 3 out of the 4 were just not good.
Food was heated up not fresh
Chicken wings and chicken tender was not fresh.
Would like to give this place another attempt, but I got the steak frites today and it was the fattiest piece of center cut NY strip I’ve ever had. Garlic frites were delicious. Overall, I was super excited after reading all of the reviews so I’m a bit bummed out!
Ordered the Calusa burger and a Devil’s Purse kolsch. Delicious combo on an 80 degree day. Staff was quick and friendly. Red Sox game on also.
Best burger!
Server was great and attentive. Food was mediocre. Pilaf from box most likely. Baked haddock was fresh but way too salty. Turkey tips had little to be desired.
Nice spot for lunch or for dinner. Salads are good and tater tots are amazing. Lots of gluten-free options.
Tessie’s is an awesome place! Beautiful atmosphere, and friendly and fast service. However, the star of the show was the food. The portions were huge, with a lot of fresh ingredients and variety on the menu. The cauliflower buffalo bites were spicy and tender. The tater tots were incredibly crispy and cheesy. The Cobb salad was light and refreshing. The corn chowder was fabulous, warm with a great consistency and lots of vegetables. The pretzels were well salted and airy. Finally, the chicken sandwich had juicy and crisp meat and came with lots of toppings. The pretzels and sandwich came with an amazing honey mustard as well, super sweet and flavorful. 100% check out if you’re nearby. They have lots of selections and something that everyone will enjoy!

We came here by chance and it was excellent! It was so clean, decorated really festive for Christmas , our waitress was so friendly and the special app, special entree and burger were all fantastic! We’ll remember remember this gem!

The wings were very disappointing. I ordered the flavor Garlic Herb, and they were very dry, overcooked, and completely tasteless. Along with that, you could still see a few feathers on the wings.. very dissatisfied as I was eager to try this restaurant out! The blue cheese sauce and celery/carrots were the only somewhat good items in the box. I wish I had taken a photo but I quickly decided to throw it away.

Been here a few times now. Each time, service has been super quick and friendly, even when busy. Salmon burger bangs, and same with their beef burger (they have several craft burger options) and the lamb pesto burger special was incredible also. Got enough good craft/mainstream beers on tap/bottle. Usually sample one of the seasonal cocktails from the menu, have a bunch of intriguing spins on more classic cocktails (e.g. butterscotch white Russian, cinnamon tequila sour, etc) they have all been really tasty. Overall super happy with this local place. Plus live music last night was cool, super chill, not disruptive at all, just some good tunes. 5* all around

Amazing appetizers (the buffalo cauliflower is to die for) and my partner always loves the meat based dishes he gets. I am pescatarian and have tried a few mains but have been largely disappointed. I’d love some work on the non meat options!
Vegetarian options: Not a huge fan of the vegetarian options here.

Great local bar with awesome food.
Haven’t tried the burgers yet but they look absolutely amazing
Chicken tenders app was great with honey mustard.
Turkey tips came out sizzling on a hot plate cooked to perfection

Keep an eye open for this spot. Great atmosphere as you enter. Friendly and attentive staff that still gives you room to breathe. Chicken sandwich is great but next time I need to dig in to one of those burgers.
