“My friend and I love coming here! Great atmosphere and food! But most of all I enjoy how especially friendly and fun the wait staff is! Each time I’ve been I have had fun and upbeat servers who make our experience really enjoyable. Next time I will get her name! She was great. Sat at a high top table with one other girl on 4/30 around 530, we will be back soon!“

“My wife and I had dinner last Friday. We both ordered fish and chips. The last visit we had chicken parm. The food is always good. The prices are surprisingly low. The daily specials are a really great value. Tried the fried eggplant sticks and they were awesome. This is a neighborhood restaurant with a large bar on one side and a family restaurant on the other side. Something for everyone.“

“A nice little hidden gem off the beaten path in an upcoming Marlboro restaurant scene. Located down what seemed like a side alley, this two room dining place had a bar on one side and tables on the other. We sat in the bar area and you could see by all the patches they were law enforcement friendly. They had a nice selection of mixed drinks, but a small selection of beers. Our server was a nice down to earth older guy who was very patient with my wife's questions, lol. I had the Ultimate Chicken sandwich. It was definitely a hand breaded half a chicken breast with a really tasty sauce, and had nice hand cut fries. Wife ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a side salad. She ordered rare, and surprisingly it was perfectly done. The mound of bacon on top was more than I have ever seen“

“Local bar, cheers type atmosphere where townies can come to get strong drinks, good quick food, and fast service. Make sure to bring cash though, they don't take cards!Parking: Large parking lot with plenty of parking, handicap spots availableKid-friendliness: I've brought my kids there for over 15 years, it's more of a bar atmosphere but families frequently come here specially for a quick dinner.Wheelchair accessibility: It's on the first floor with ramps to get in, tight hallway on the side entrance though so I recommend going through the front door“

“I went on 2/9/24 with my wife and another couple. We split mussels two different ways (saffron cream sauce and white wine sauce) as appetizers. Large portions and delicious. For entrees we ordered cold smoked grilled pork chop, grilled salmon, seared scallops and prime rib. All in good portions and well matched with delicious sides. For dessert we had flourless chocolate cake and cheesecake with goat cheese and berries in a mason jar. The chocolate cake was great and the cheesecake was ambitious and interesting but a little too much goat cheese for us. The service was attentive, prices were reasonable and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed dining experience. This is seriously great dining in Marlborough.“

“It's a small discrete bar and resturant most known and populated by locals..and that's how I discovered it.I go there at least monthly for taco dip and a visit with that special friend.. anyone makes taco dip but this is my preference. .. I have taken family members for dinner and it is always good...until you see the price and then it's awesome. Great prices make it affordable to go out with the whole family and not break the bank.Bartenders are friendly and cutious . I have gone by myself and sat at the bar without feeling uncomfortable..Do yourself a favor and visit sometime“

“Anthony's on the Green is a true town gem. My family have enjoyed dining there for years. Nice to sit on the outdoor porch. We have been to several events there, but most recently a ran a fundraiser. Mike and his team are amazing to work with. So accommodating, quick response, and the kindest people. I would recommend Anthony's on the Green for a meal, or an event. Thanks Mike!!“

“99 is our family go-to for many reasons! First off is our favorite server Champa!! One of those servers that remembers yours and your entire families name, what they eat / drink, and always has a minute to chat!We also appreciate the points, specials and "Kids eat free when the Red Sox win!"Top all that off with good food and we can't miss!“

“In walking distance to Napper's. Always great food. Great flavors, great menu. Its a chain and we also love the Walpole location (They have a bunch of pool tables and same great food). Thai/Buffalo cauliflower, Cali Burger and Cajun chicken tacos are some of our favorites!“

“Good ol fashion dive, an endangered species in this area. Where every single "bar" in the area charges you $15 for a cocktail and cut you off after three drinks, this place really deserves its title. Drinks, TV, pool tables, dartboard, peanuts and popcorn.“

“This place is better than it seems like it should be, if that makes sense. The first time we went it was a Monday night and our son was turning 21 at midnight and nothing else was open. Walking in at just after 11:30 to a group of somewhat rough looking regulars might have turned us around, but again, nothing else open. We told the bartender why we were there and to make sure he'd be OK serving him (MA has weird laws sometimes) and was assured no problem. At midnight, he had shots lined up for us, did a countdown, and then the whole bar (10 people maybe?) sang Happy Birthday. At one point the owner, hearing it was someone's birthday, came out with a cupcake and a birthday seat cover. How incredibly nice for non-regular randoms who came in late on a Monday night. A great reminder not to judge a book by its cover. In this case, both the bar and the patrons. We stayed until closing to play games and talk to some of the folks at the bar. It was a great experience. We've been back since to and every experience has been great. We played some darts and enjoyed some mixed drinks just last night and found, again, great bartenders and patrons. If you remember you're going to a dive bar, where every now and again the regular is going to get served before you and the food is "good enough", you'll have a great time. The most important part, the drinks, are always A+.“

“Had the spicy chicken & vegetables & egg soup. The soup was sweet & spicy perfect blend of spices. Thoroughly enjoyed. Friend had chicken pot pie with the flakiest crust with loads of chicken. School vacation week so a bit noisier & busier but we enjoyed our meal.“

“All I can say is wow!!! We stopped for the first time today after driving past so many times, and it was absolutely delicious. We ordered the nachos, a burger and a wrap, as well as tenders and fries for our kid. We weren't expecting to discover some of the best pub fare/american food we've ever had right in our backyard. The burger was so delicious and flavorful. toppings were spot on, bread fresh and soft. And the onion rings!!! No exaggeration, some of the best onion rings I've ever tasted. The nachos were enormous and came with all the fixings, so so good. We were well taken care of, and you can see the locals stopping by for a beer and a chat. Loved everything about the Rose Garden, and we'll certainly be back, it's been a while since I've truly enjoyed the food I've been served and the service I've received in a restaurant.“

“Had a really great experience at Finnegans last night. Got the large lobster roll and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Cool atmosphere with pool tables and juke box. To top it off they had a great bourbon selection. Look forward to going back “

“They don't skimp on servings. I got the bangers and mash and it fed me for three days. The potatoes were a li'l dry, but nothing the gravy couldn't fix. There are burgers a'plenty. They've got a maple bourbon chicken sandwich that absolutely rocked. The filet was a delightfully intimidating slab of deliciously battered and fried goodness. Woe betide the indecisive person, as they have such an array of sauces for wings and sandwiches to tempt you that you might have to make a point of coming back, just to explore the possibilities.“

“Hudson sat at the bar bartender was young but fantastic. Made me feel at home. I've been back since the bartender name is Dan. Honestly, the only reason we came back brought my friends kid made us all laugh lots of fun. We will return.“

“Burgers are really good at the 99. Our server last time was not very personable but usually they're friendly and attentive. We ate in the bar area so there's much more to watch but it's not especially quiet. Finally, house margaritas were $4.99 not bad!“
