Very nice presentation.My wife had the chicken pot pie filled with chicken as she said.We were there on a Monday night, last night. Packed. To me. That's the sign of a great restaurant. A random Monday night in May to be filled.“

“An incredible dining experience! The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! The staff was amazing and attentive! Outdoor cocktails and appetizers overlooking a beautiful landscape and warmed by a fire...just perfect! A special thank you to Derek who was extremely helpful and attentive!..“

“We went here with our kids to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed the open kitchen and seeing the working kitchen. They also had a kid's menu for coloring and to pick from. We had the charcuterie board, flat bread, cheeseburgers, and scallops. Everything tasted very fresh and the atmosphere with the rolling hills in the back was very nice. The only thing we would have liked to change is the wait on the food. The first food item took 40-45 mins to come out(which was the charcuterie board). With the kids(6,7), it was a little too long of a wait. Luckily the kids were able to eat off the board but we ate quite a bit of the board until the main meals came out. Perhaps next time though we would ask for the kids items to come out first.“

“Met friends for a meal here earlier this week. It was excellent. All our meals were well prepared and delicious. Seating is limited, and the atmosphere is casual. Best to arrive early or be prepared for a wait (lots of outdoor seating available during the summer months). Reservations for parties of eight or larger. Perfect for an evening out. We had fish & chips, pulled pork and a burger. All were excellent.“

“Great Little Roadside Dinner/Ice Creamery...The employees were great. My wife had a 9:30 am craving for ice cream. Even though it was technically breakfast time, a wonderful young lady tries so hard to get my wife her softserve ice craving, but it didn't work because the ice cream machine wasn't turned on yet.I plan on going back next time I'm delivering in the area. Breakfast looked great...“

“Perfect spot for the family to have breakfast. All the feels of a traditional Diner from friendly staff, and they can accommodate large groups. The omelettes named after famous diners were perfectly cooked. Our waitress Maya was attentive and friendly! My next trip will include one of their cocktails out on the newly renovated patio. Five stars!“

“My first time eating here and it was great. Food, service, atmosphere were wonderful. My friend and I were there for at least two hours and never felt rushed. In fact, I water glasses were constantly filled. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant ???“

“I would give them 3.5 stars if I could. I have been using WECO on occasion since they opened in Massachusetts. Their food has always been delicious and other than their homemade pasta dishes (small pasta portions), their portions are always great. My one BIG complaint is their pricing structure. When you place the order, they give you a "suggested total price." However, when the bill comes after delivery, you are only given a food item cost, and they ask for you to add on your own contribution, and they give you suggestion of three amounts- usually a couple dollars apart. Even if you choose the lowest suggested contribution, it always adds up to more than the suggested total price they quoted you during ordering! EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. You do have the option to go back in and add a custom contribution and that requires you to screenshot your order back when you ordered it earlier in the week so you can remember what they originally said the total price would be. The bait and switch is quite annoying but other than that. - I would recommend giving them a try. It's expensive for sure but the food is good and the portions are mostly nice. I will say this service might not work for people with allergies or aversions as they do not allow for any substitutions.“

“It was great. I saw a wonderful concert. The food was delicious, the staff was fantastic, and the event space was very nice. No complaints. There is always room for improvement, but I cannot think of anything specific, so 5 stars all around.Parking: I had no issue finding parking despite how busy the place was.Wheelchair accessibility: The building is old, so some doorways are a little narrow, but there are ramps into the front and up to the event space.“

“Best BLTs and coffee in town! Great atmosphere!“

“Sarah was friendly and a very efficient bartender. The food, drink and service is second to none. Always great specials, and many ways to save a little money on a night out with friends and/or family. Highly recommend all the delicious BBQ and other menu items. Rewards program adds to the experience also.“

“Fabulous food, well priced in a quaint but campy little hideaway. Unfortunately we chose a corner table, a budding two outside walls and the ants were a little disarming and there was that campy smell of moist walls that interfered with our enjoyment. If there was some new building material replacing the damp and possibly rotted material in that corner, it would be great in every way.“

“Only thing missing is parking. Otherwise, it would be 5 stars. They should buy the house across the street and turn it into a parking lot.Parking: Only about 12-15 parking spots t. I drive around in circles, waiting for parking space to be available. It's that good!!!“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“Everybody is so nice that works there…Abundance of food served and I have not had a bad meal or experience at Bobola’s…“

“Raw seafood prices are a bit high but the cooked items are delicious and priced well. Grilled salmon sandwich - 5/5 very good. Came with a thick piece of salmon filet. Ask for lettuce, tomato and onion when ordering. Fisherman's platter - 4/5 everything on the platter tasted juicy and fresh. I especially liked the whole belly clams and shrimp. The fries were alright and tasted frozen. Onions rings - 4.5/5. I don't think these are made jn house but they were perfectly fried and tasted great. Service - 5/5 the owner was friendly and efficient. Looking forward to coming back again.“

“Cravable food, awesome beer selection, super cool staff, great vibe.“

“Everything perfect. Everything is done correctly in house. Food is the best in town!!!“

“Just ordered 2 pizzas and a pulled pork poutine and it was amazing! We got the MASHachusetts pizza and it was so good! We will absolutely be ordering again!“

“We first started going 26 years ago. We hadn't been back in over 6 years because we moved. We met friends there last weekend and I'm happy to say it was exactly like I remembered. Jay is wonderful and always chatting with the guests. Food did not disappoint!!“

“First time there this morning. Excellent food an the bloody Mary’s were awesome!“

“Excellent food, drinks and service!“

“I was down at the Phoenix today and tried the new chicken and waffles appetizer. Delicious! There’s awesome additional menu items with lots to choose from! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Pretty woman and local legends“

“Cozy outdoor courtyard with a stage area, friendly and attentive staff and management, we hope to play here again in the fall.“

“This is a really good restaurant that’s located inside of the movie theater, but it’s not movie theater food. We had great burgers and the fries were perfect! The owner was also really nice and the service was great. Recommend trying it out“

“My grandfather and I come here pretty often and it’s always a perfect volume level with great energy. Most of the time we get a waitress by the name Krystal and she’s amazing !! When we come in to sit in her section she already knows our drink order and comes as soon as we’re settled in which speaks a lot for itself, she makes sure that everything is going well after a few bites in and would do what it takes to make sure you’re completely satisfied, another great characteristic she has is humor. It is never a dull moment and she is never in a rush but always manages to still be on top of things. We love this longhorn out of the 3 we been too and Crystal’s service just adds the extra sparkle on top !“

“Arugula salad is the best ever! Shrimp cocktail is excellent. The Lobster Guacamole, Spicy shrimp & hummus apps also excellent. Best entrees- Short Rib, Half roasted Chicken, Fish Tacos & their burgers delish. Best desserts: bread pudding - unreal!! & their salted caramel mousse and fresh whipped cream in the mason jar- ( tip may need a cig afterwards)!“

“First time. Parking was ok. Mini golf was busy had to wait awhile on each hole. The bumper cars were alot of fun since then could spin in circles. The batting bases were also fun. The zip line is definetly more a child attraction. The food was good ice cream too. Everything was priced decently.“

“Would have given 5 stars,but was shocked at how much priceshad gone up! Not only that but portions were another smaller,and flavor was different? I had casserole with ground beef,corn,and mashed potatoes. Sorry I can't remember name of dish,maybe Chinese pie??? My husband has Chicken Parm, 3 small pieces of chicken swimming in sauce. This used to be one of his faves-not anymore. Place was empty at 5 thirtyish maybe 6 to 8 others. Service was slower than normal. Very disappointing!“

“The waitress and owner we're very welcoming and have witty personalities. The experience has left me wanting to come back for the atmosphere the place but the food is the BOMB. The owner takes his craft seriously and does a phenomenal job delivering just that. If your looking for a cozy, little nook for you and your partner I would recommend this diner to be your next stop. Thank you for your hospitality.Dietary restrictions: Dairy options if your lactose intolerantParking: You can park any where near the diner or near the local store.Kid-friendliness: There's enough room for a family of four but not enough for a family of six because you never know how busy it's going to get.“

“Stevie's Cafe has always been open M-F for breakfast and lunch. I have enjoyed both, as well as having attended a 115 person wedding catered by Stevie on the grounds around the cafe. Expanding on that success, the Cafe just opened on weekends for breakfast. My omelette was cooked to order, accompanied by home fries, bagel, and endless coffee. Beautiful view over the deck adorned by flower planters. I have also learned that Stevie runs the 501(c)(3) Feed A Neighbor Program from this location delivering meals to the food insecure.Kid-friendliness: A dad was enjoying breakfast with the one of his three children who got up this morning! :-)Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap ramp and automatic door.“

“This was my first true experience trying some level Indian or Nepalese food, and it was very good. I can't speak to authenticity, but as someone who isn't the most adventurous eater, this place was really great. The Naan and meats were delicious. We really enjoyed having multiple types of Naan to mix and match with our meal. I had the 65 Chicken at the medium spice level and loved it. We tried a variety of the curries and passed them around. For a family of 4 with one drink each it was just about $100, so very reasonable when most of us came back with leftovers. The service is fast. Don't be fooled by the inside. It isn't anything over the top, pretty barebones, but when the food came out we were amazed. I know we will be coming back here to try more of their expansive menu.“

“We had a great dinner at NYAJ. Our server Jenna was fantastic and instrumental in our experience. She checked with the kitchen regarding allergens, made suggestions on the menu, and was just genuinely engaging. She did not rush us, which is an experience we've had at other establishments.“

“This was my 2nd time @ this RR, my wife's first. The manager welcomed the first-timer with a basket of fries and a couple of sauces (I think one was called Campfire... holy moly, so good). I got the Scorpion burger "a little pink" which was cooked just right and delicious - a little spicy, but not too much. I'm definitely going back for another burger and to try some of the local beers they offer.“

“This is more of a bar review for my new local haunt, I've been a few times now and I like the music, friendly local atmosphere, and the staff is well above average. The food is decent so far but I haven't tried much. Its location is well situated to lure me in for a coors light and French onion if I need anything in the plaza.“

“The grounds offer breath taking views of New England beauty proportions. You have a lot here in small spaces for time to explore and wander or nibble and sip. Affordable day trip to explore, and learn. The hosts in every museum house are incredibly knowledgeable and with a love for what they do that is like a warm hug. The little shop is full of beautiful things and affordable art pieces to purchase. All in all, a lovely piece of New England for the day trip adventurer that enjoys indoor-outdoor simple pleasures. And from what I hear, a bucolic setting for a wedding, anniversary, birthday or other events.“

“Great Place always fresh and delicious“

“Vermont Cheddar Burger was very good, a little overcooked. My wife had a fajita bowl which she also enjoyed. She'd asked for no guac or pico, but it came out with both. C'est la vie, no big deal. Katie went out of her way to correct it, apologized profusely, and then comped a dessert after the meal-another practice you see less of these days! The service was what stood out here the most. Our server Katie was stellar. She was professional, courteous and clearly took pride in providing excellent service. Unfortunately, this is a trait that is so much less common these days. Kudos to her for caring!“

“Had the Cesar salad, it was pretty good (a little overdressed for my taste). The service was very slow considering we were only 2 of 4 people at the bar. Overall not a bad place if you don't feel like going out, but if you have another option, I would probably pick it.“

“Pizza is awesome. The chicken dumpling appetizer things are as well. Nice set up at the bar and lower dinning areas. Good service and prices are a value. Only reason I haven't given it a five star is I haven't tried enough items on the menu“

“I want to start by saying the staff here is next level!!! We had reservations here with friends and family for my wife's birthday and with in the first 5 minutes one of the managers “Griffen” came over to acknowledge her and offered to comp her drink or dessert! In the end he did both!! Our waiter “Joe” was amazing as well!! Super attentive and friendly! Food, Drinks and atmosphere was great!! Wanted to leave a positive review, because you really don't see that kind of customer service any more...Definitely will be back again!!!“
