Visiting Sutton from SC for wife's 50th class reunion best blood orange I've had to date.

Lindsey was amazing. Reading my mind before I could even asked. She is the best. The burgers and tots were delicious

We had an all around excellent experience here. After reading some recent reviews we wondered about the service but our server, Abigail, could not have been friendlier or more efficient. The food was really good and service was super prompt. They took good care of our dog as well. We’ll be back!

This is easily my favorite place in Worcester. The beer is amazing (you have to try the Blood Orange), and I can’t stop thinking about the smash burger and buffalo chicken dip. The staff is super friendly. The bartender greeted us right when we walked in and our waitress was awesome, helping us pick beers and pointing out the most popular food.

They’ve also got great weekly specials. They have $6 smash burgers on Wednesdays and 50 cent wings on Tuesdays, so I’m already planning my next visit.

If you’re thinking about checking out Bay State, just do it. You’ll be glad you did.

This is an unusual spot - nestled sort of in a local ice rink, so there's a bit of chaos spilling over from that (no real barrier between). That said, everything we drank and ate was delicious - special shout out to the Buffalo chicken Mac and cheese, the fried chicken sandwich, and the big pretzel. Many of their beers were either fruit lagers or IPAs, so if those aren't your speed, you may not have many options - we happen to love those, and were very happy! The rhubarb sour and blood orange lager were both especially awesome and unique. They also had some great nightly specials like discounted wings, pizza, etc. that we noticed and would be pretty great if you were on a budget!

Food was great would come again, but our waitress was unbelievably rude the entire time. Had a really bad attitude and was constantly mumbling under her breath as she walked away from our table. Never offered refills for water or drinks. She wouldn’t say anything instead she would just stare and hold out her hand like you weren’t worth talking to. Big glasses with hearts tattooed on her neck, never said what her name was. Very obviously talking to another waitress (looking right at us) while we left and complaining about the well deserved poor tip.

Server was extremely rude and even slammed down the check, I think she was having a bad day but it seriously affected the atmosphere of the place

Waited 30 minutes for nachos. Was told they were burnt and they were remaking them only to see 5 other sets of nachos come out before ours

What an awesome first impression. The service with a smile was the most noticeable thing I will remember. A perfect personality for parties like our crazy 8.

Make it a must. FUN place, good people. EXCELLENT food. And HOCKEY in the same building with TONS of available parking.

This place met my expectations completely. Great food, variety of seating style, kind of like a warehouse feel, but not too open. Plenty spacious.

had to send our nachos back because they couldn't seem to figure out how to melt the cheese. I think they need to slow down and go back to basics when it comes to food quality. the atmosphere was good, and the service was great. I'll definitely give them another chance.
