Extensive menu. Attentive and friendly service. Nothing fancy about this place but the food is great with large portions.

This place is great to go on a nice warm day. The outside seating give you the opportunity to soak in good weather and people watch. The side of the restaurant has large windows that open up into the bar area.Food: The first time I can here we were just passing by and popped in for a drinks and dessert. I can highly recommend the ice cream and churros. They second time we got real food to go with our dessert. Again the dessert (this time a skillet cookie and ice cream) was also very good. I'd also recommend the Honey Mustard Chicken Salad and the steak tip sandwich.Service: Always had friendly servers. It can get very busy though, especially outside so be aware.Parking can be a bit of a task - there is a small lot immediately in front of the restaurant and a small lot to the side. This place is in the heart of Braintree on a main road so can get a bit busy.Can't wait to visit again in warm weather!

Took fish tacos which had avocado, tomatoes, and black beans not too fresh which changed the whole flavor of fish tacos. Avocado was pretty much brown and tasted nothing like avocado.My husband enjoyed the steak/cheese egg rolls. We also took clam chowder which was good.Service wasn’t really attentive, we only saw our waitress when she came to take/bring our orders and to get the check. Water was given to us once and at the end we were basically sitting there thirsty as she never came back to ask if we needed anything else.

Amazing food and excellent service, portions were very good and attentive servers. We had buffalo chip dip which was delicious. For entrees we had steak tips, baked cod and salmon. Everyone enjoyed their meal, on observation very load so hard to have conversations with everyone at the table. Beware large parking lot but fills up fast.

I had the worst experience!!!! I'm a bartender myself and know something about hospitality. I frequently went there,but my last experience was appalling to say the least..the male bartender had an attitude, and was annoyed,like he couldnt be bothered ,,obviously not realizing I'min the business and he was going to get the fattest tip if he was even a little nice,!but no , then the manager came out and he was even worse!!!.I'll NEVER go back and definitely DON'T RECOMMEND

Very loud pub. All the TVs along the bar are cool. Bartenders were attentive. Im glad 2 of them were working on a Fri. Eve. Fish tacos were so delicious.

This place is awesome! The food was great, and the service was great as well. Every dish that came out was very good... the server had great suggestions... even told us about a fried chicken sandwich that she enjoys that's not on the menu... we will be going back soon...

This is a nice place , service from waitress pleasant. Though sorry to say wasn't impressed with the quality of food . Burger was overcooked, why would you put the fries on top of burger ?? Makes no sense, they were soggy and gross. Totally not impressed with the food at all.

This is a great find in Braintree. Before I get into the review, I am actually giving them 3 1/2 stars just for the record. So my buddy and I arrived at this location and we parked easily right at the front door in the private parking lot. They have a handicap ramp outside if anyone is in a wheelchair, very easy access. The exterior of the building is very Quaint and some white festive. In the summertime they do put out tables with umbrellas. As we walked inside, we were greeted promptly by a host, who sat us down immediately. The menu was vast and it took a couple minutes glance thru and decide what to order. My buddy went for the bacon cheddar burger for $14.99. It was a good size burger coded with white cheddar cheese and hickory smoked bacon on a bun. It also came with some shredded lettuce slice a tomato slice of onion and a pickle slice. In addition you could choose one side for free which was included with the burger and could be chosen from any of the side orders available on the menu, my buddy, pick the mashed potatoes, which appeared to be homemade and tasted great. The burger itself was cooked perfectly, and had great flavor. As for my selection I chose the shot rib grilled cheese sandwich. It caught my eye, and when it arrived at the table it was a little different than I thought, but overall a great sandwich. It's tender braised beef short ribs, buttered and grilled on sourdough bread, smothered with melted cheddar cheese, and a side cup of Ajou. For my side, I got the sweet potato fries. They seem to be a little bit on the greasy side. My sandwich, however, was original. It was put together with a good amount of beef short rib and the sourdough bread was toasted. Excellent sandwich now to even make the sandwich great was the Ajou it was a thicker Ajou, not watery, It was on the thicker side and you could dunk the sandwich into the Ajou excellent!! The young lady name Natasha was our waitress. She was extremely pleasant, very polite, knowledgeable, and very sociable. She was willing to answer a few questions about the menu, and she brought everything over promptly. I would give her a solid five out of five stars. The atmosphere in the restaurant was hustle and bustle when you walk in, to the left, it looked more like an Elks Hall with scattered tables and basically no decor. But to the right when you walk in a little bit and go to the right, they had a large bar with high tops, and it was very festive in there. I would like to state that I was there at on Saturday afternoon around 3 o'clock and the place was jampacked, and had a good vibe. Now the reason why this restaurant is a 3 1/2 star instead of a 4 1/2 star is because of the men's room I made my way to the urinal and I almost got knocked over with the odor. They have a waterless urinal actually two and I don't know if it's functioning incorrectly but I could've got knocked over by the odor. It was difficult to stay in there and relieve myself. The smell was so bad. Other than that, the rest of the restaurant seem to be clean and odor free. I would highly suggest this restaurant as the food quality seem to be top-notch and as I said my experience with Natasha was over and above what you would expect she's fabulous and so is the rest of the staff.
