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.“

“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 ???“

“Great food and even better service!!!“

“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.“

“We have been going to J's over the years and the food is always exceptional. My family went to J's for Mother's Day and I want to say that they hit it out of the park! Whrn there is a set menu and a busy day,as there was for Mother's Day brunch, I tend to worry if the food will be up to the usual standard in any restaurant. I have been to other restaurants for holiday meals where the experience was hurried, overcrowded and the food sub par. Not the case at J's! The food was amazing! Did not feel rushed at all. This restaurant is a gem!“

“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!..“

“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.“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“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.“

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

“Susanna was our server and she was so personable and accommodating. I happen to be a person who needs to be gluten-free due to an allergy and she was extremely helpful and careful.. It was my sister‘s. Birthday and it was a lovely celebration. I was treating everyone to the dinne, When I got the bill, I quietly mentioned to Susanna that I was legally blind and had difficulty seeing and I wanted to just review my calculation with her so I could be sure that I had added everything up correctly. She handled that with Grace and in a very confidential private manner that made me feel very comfortable and relieved.“

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

“Been s few years since stopping by the PC and I was very pleasantly (pun intended) surprised! Love the choices and execution of the menu items and big fan of craft beers choices. Definitely going to be more frequent there!(Suggestion: A central Mass craft beer list: Greater Good, Lost Shoes, Redemption Rock, Medusa, Cold Harbor, Altruist, Rapscallion, Wormtown, Wachusett...)“

“This is an old school diner! Not a 50s or 60s styled place, but a booth and bar, coffee and eggs, family run place. Food is great, prepared perfectly by genuinely kind people. Been a patron for years. It's so nice to see a family working together, learning and growing. Treat yourselves and your heart will be as full as your tummy!“

“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!“

“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“

“I visited Texas Road House, which I had not for a while because my experience the last time I went through four years ago was not great but going back today with my daughter and grandchild and Cese, our waitress was amazing very attentive very kind and respectful made it fun for my granddaughter great choice and hiring her she’s amazing.“

“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.“

“Pretty woman and local legends“

“We have been stopping here for breakfast a few times a month.The food is always very good, as are the prices. The owner & staff are friendly.But it goes beyond the food being good.Last visit after working a 12.5 hour shift, we finished our breakfast and when we were ready to leave found that the car would not start. While calling AAA the owner’s son and two customers came out to see if everything was ok & ask if they could help. They got us started.In a time when it’s hard to find a single person willing to go out of their way to help you we had three. Three people that we only know to say hi to when we see them in the restaurant. We do not even know their names.This is Clinton”s Sunshine Cafe. Not just great food and prices but friendly people that are willing to help you. People that make you feel welcome.I would highly recommend this place.“

“Food is good and staff is friendly. The coffee is a little on the mellow side (I like strong coffee) lots of local residents and customers do come here and sit for a while. So if you like quiet this coffee shop may not be for you. But it is a lovely local joint with delicious food. Will be back ^_^“

“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.“

“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.“

“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...“

“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)!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The steak tips bomb sub was amazing, one of the best I've had, skip the sweet potato fries though they were thin and disappointing, the regular fries my wife had were better. She ordered a chicken wrap she liked very much and we shared a basket of delicious fried pickles. The bartender who also served us, though not friendliest was nice enough and attentive (more important) getting our drinks and orders out in a good time even though she was by herself with maybe half a dozen people at the bar itself and another group of customers at a different booth. Overall great experience, will def return for another steak tips bomb!“

“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.“

“I eat at Roasted Peppers quite often and I’m never disappointed. The pizza and subs are amazing. The chicken Cesar salad is also unbelievable. Honestly I have ordered almost everything on the menu and it’s so good it’s hard to decide. Thumbs up to the staff they are doing a great job.“

“Great Place always fresh and delicious“

“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.“

“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!“

“Was our first time there. The “the cure burger” was really good! Had it with sweet potato fries ?. Lots of other options, starters, salads, chef’s menu. Kids had the Mac&Cheese that comes with 2 sides + dessert for a bargain. Other kids options available too. Service was fast and pleasant!“
