“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“

“Ashland Ale is a perfect little neighborhood restaurant on a grander scale. The food is good, the wait staff is good, the prices are fair, and the seasonal decorations are on a level all their own. Try the short ribs, try the burgers, and don't skip dessert. We live in Ashland and go there frequently. Never been disappointed.Parking: There are spaces. You park in them.“

“I wanted the prime rib on Thursday but unfortunately it’s a Friday thing. The ribeye was absolutely fantastic. I always tell people I only like my steaks and they blew me away with theirs still. My wife had gotten their turkey soup which I tasted. It was homemade you can definitely tell. Hearing the local chatter at this bar made me feel like I was watching Cheers. I love this place.“

“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“

“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 local dive watering place. Visited for lunch and it was hopping. The bartender/ waitress was awesome. Attentive to her bar and her table guests. The broccoli Cheddar soup was tasty and a good start to lunch. The taco salad was basic but good. The taco shell was crispy and not oily- awesome. I did add some ranch so it was not dry- highly recommend. Overall a good lunch and suggest you give it a visit.“

“This place was great! I took a pic of the food but now it's gone! The chicken tenders are fantastic and the max and cheese bites were Devine! For sure bar food but still, some places over cook the food leaving it mushy or chewy! We all loved it. The music was great! I'd come back when I'm in town!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Food was great server was a little chatty which some people like but it's not my thing. Food came out quickly however they brought my step son the wrong type of frozen mocktail (strawberry instead of raspberry). My dad is handicapped and the accessibility was very good for“

“Decent food at decent prices. We did have a larger party. However, the service dropped food from two of the plates served. The food was above average for a chain but nothing too special. They were able to accommodate a larger party of 12 on fairly short notice and we appreciated that.“

“We've been going here sporadically for years now and this place never fails! Food is always delicious, service is consistently amazing and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. My husband's favorite dish is the buffalo chicken tenders. I do enjoy the fried chicken dinner...such a classic! JP's is definitely a hidden gem for sure - if you have the opportunity to go there or order take out, I highly recommend it!Dietary restrictions: They take my (and others) allergies seriously.Parking: Plenty of spots. Big plaza.Kid-friendliness: Kids will definitely enjoy snacking on the popcorn and find something yummy to eatWheelchair accessibility: Ground level.“

“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+.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I know it’s hard to do, but maybe have traffic go through the side door and lock the door near the bar as every time it opened up the other night we would get a blast of cold air and it took while for it to warm up again, just a thought You probably can’t lock it due to Fire restrictions, but maybe put a sign to please use the other door it’s probably all true for when it’s hot outside in this air-conditioner on inside again just a thought“

“Casey's is a local tavern with a tavern look and ambiance. It sits conveniently on the bike trail in Holliston.. A perfect place to brink walk or bike the trail and stop for a cold beer and chicken wings or other pub food. The service is incredibly slow with one waitstaff for the entire resturant so when it's full (and it fills up easily because if the quaint size you will wait a very long time. The bottle neck isn't necessarily the waitstaff fault but the back up is in the kitchen .. I am OK since I know this airhead of time and I for one don't want to rush chicken wings.Some times I just want a neighborhood bar or old tavern atmosphere. As a single women I feel safe and comfortable to go in alone... I just take a book and order a beverage.Also. Just to mention the bike trail and stop for a bite is perfect first meet up or date .“
