I used to be a regular (at least once a week, at times more), but life happened. My health and budget no longer allow for restaurant dining very often. Lettuce and ice cubes being one of the few things I'm allowed, I want to make the most of dining out when I get the chance. Bobola's did not disappoint!
Since it's rare that I get the chance to eat out and rarely see my cousin, she let me choose where I'd like to dine today. I chose Bobola's and I'm so glad I did! It was like coming home!!
We were cheerfully greeted and seated right away. Our waitress promptly came with menus and took our drink order.
We were TRYING to be good, but it was difficult with so many choices. I opted for water, but that's as far as my resolve to make my doctor proud took me.
My cousin and I both gravitated towards the Chicken Teriyaki. She was eyeing the bowl, but I wanted a wrap, as I'm not fond of white rice. Had I known the rice was pilaf, I would have ordered the bowl as well, but I opted for the wrap and requested that mine also include pineapple, as that was included in the bowl. I also added Swiss to it, and both came with peppers and onions included in the sauce. Both were scrumptious!
I'm sure my doctor wouldn't have approved of the sauce, but my doctor would have gasped when I ordered their onion rings for my side. Bobola's makes their own onion rings and they are flaky goodness surrounding juicy onion rings, with just the right amount of seasoning in the delicate batter. OMG! 😗 Heaven on a plate!
If you've ever lusted after the onion rings that the (now, permanently closed) Pub Grainery used to serve, you need to go immediately to Bobola's and order yourself a large order!!!
Most restaurants serve either the thick, greasy, tasteless, pancake battered rings, or the mealy, thickly crusted version that Burger King or Denny's serves.
BOBOLA'S onion rings are exquisite rings, like the good restaurants used to serve back in the day when onion rings weren't pre-made offsite by some restaurant supplier.
Our waitress (wish I got her name) was a delight! She got our sense of humor and joked with us, which we appreciated. It made us feel even more welcome.
She was very attentive without being pushy, which is a skill that many waitstaff lack. She took our order promptly and answered any questions, and was quick to make me aware that any requests would be happily accommodated.
Our food was served quickly and she checked on us to see if we needed anything, but gave us plenty of time to chat and catch up on family gossip, etc. We rarely get the chance to get together in person, and it was nice to be given the time to do so without feeling rushed.
Our meals were delicious and we enjoyed it at our leisure. The bill was reasonable and we weren't rushed to pay it. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience. I was very happy to find that my favorite place was still up to my high standards. I can't wait to return!
I wish I'd taken photos, and I usually do, but I was too excited to think of it until now. Next time! My birthday is coming up!! 😀

Always enjoyed this restaurant since first going to the Dracut, MA location. So many breakfast and lunch options. Always been happy with what I order. Service is pretty fast so I can even go there on my lunch break and enjoy a good meal.

Had Breakfast here recently. We got Blueberry Pancakes, Large blueberry pancakes with Blueberry compote on top and the Irish Benny with perfectly cooked poached eggs. Great service from our server Krisann, kept checking to see if we needed any thing and made sure I had coffee throughout our dinning experience.

Very disappointed. Ordered the fisherman's platter. The minute the waitress put it on the table I thought it looks small for a fisherman's platter. Mostly fries. For $40! A few bites in I realized there were no fried clams! I called the waitress over, and she said they were out of clams! It would have been nice if they had told me I would have ordered something else. That was the main reason I ordered it was for the clams.

Really disappointed with my first experience. I live locally and have been meaning to try this restaurant for a while now. Me and my mom were looking to try something new and finally gave it a shot. Ordered online, a chicken teriyaki bowl and pork cutlet with mushroom gravy, mashed, and warm veg of the day. I took two bites of my bowl and noticed it didn't have any pineapple which was disappointing but not a huge issue, but on my third bite I bit into something hard and sharp. A piece of chicken bone. I thought it must be a fluke and a mistake, nope two more bites and another piece of chicken bone. Called to talk to a manager about it and was told there wasn’t one and they’d take my number and the owner would call. Never got a call back, no offer to remake my dinner, and now I’m left with an inedible dinner and a closed restaurant. Was really hopeful with the great reviews, but don’t think I’d order there again.
