While visiting friends in Marlborough yesterday (03/13/24), they suggested that we go to Steven Anthony's for lunch. They have gone there often and have brought visitors as well. This visit was an embarrassment for them and a disappointment for me. The menu offered a "half and half" plate [scallops & clams] with fries, "ONION RINGS" & coleslaw for $31.00 [$2.00 more than the regular clam plate]. The plate arrived with TWO miniature onion rings and only FOUR undersized scallops. When I asked the manager about the onion rings, he said they were meant to be a "garnish", not a side...... BUT for an up charge I could get a side.... I did no bother to mention the lack of scallops which DID NOT constitute a HALF plate. The menu misrepresented the meal and the manager could care less. Our server was a lovely young lady who apologized for something that was not her fault. When in Marlborough again, I will certainly not go back...... Nor will my friends who live there , be recommending that restaurant to anyone else.

My recent visit to Stephen Anthony's for breakfast was an average experience that fell into the "what you see is what you get" category. The food was good, and there's something to be said for its simplicity. The menu offered standard breakfast fare, and my order arrived promptly. While I wasn't blown away by any culinary revelations, the straightforward approach and efficient service make it a reliable spot for a quick and satisfying breakfast. If you're in the mood for a no-frills morning meal without any surprises, Stephen Anthony's delivers on the basics.

Always a good breakfast at a great price. Went last Saturday with my mom and her friends. I kept it simple with 2 eggs scrambled, bacon, home fries and sourdough toast. Wish they potatoes were more crispy/hot. Enjoyed the rest. Thanks for the crispy bacon.

Always love Stephen Anthony's! Come here a lot and I always leave happy. Good food, great variety, solid prices, and always someone nice to greet you (big thank you to our waiter Anthony!). Local hotspot, definitely recommend you visit.

If you choose another breakfast joint, it'll be a big mistake! We were a party of 3. It was our first time when we went there on a Sunday morning. The wait was less than 5 minutes when Stephen Anthony himself greeted us and then escorted us to our table. One of the first things we noticed was the cleanliness of the silverware. Stephen said they hand clean each and every one of those. Typically you will see water stains or crusted food, not these. You could use them as mirrors! Jonathan, our server was right on top of things, despite how busy the place was, and packed with happy customers. Our food arrived in a timely manner, and was extremely plentiful, and very delicious! When, considering a wonderful eating experience, don't pass this place up.

What a wonderfully long, crazy Ibrunch menu. So much to choose from. Started with mimosas followed by grand breakfast choices. Johnathan was super.

Me and my boyfriend waited for about 5 minutes at the door before anyone spoke to us. The bartender told us to just come sit at the bar if we wanted to eat quicker. So we did that.We order drinks, and our food.It came out fast! except my eggs weren't how i ordered them, and I didn't get the right toast.. she was quick to fix it! I understand servers or the kitchen can make mistakes so I didn't mind. Servers would walk by complaining about their situations which again, i understand. But it made it a little awkward for me and my boyfriend so we just ate quickly, paid and got out of there. I'd love to go back and try again because they had a good choice of breakfasts, but maybe at a table and on a less busy morning?

With a wide selection on the menu, and a comfortable atmosphere, Steven Anthony’s is a great take. Visit the old fashion candy store and enjoy the pond.Parking: Plenty of parking

First and last time....Two things you look for in a restaurant are food and service. Failing grades on both.Food, small portions, just ok ands I think overpriced by a third at best.Service was appaling. From being ignored for being seated, to toasted bagel served dry, to never returning to refill coffee, to absurd wait ttime o pick up the credit card and charge. I see nothing redeeming. Still looking for a GREAT breakfast in the area.
Brought a large family group. They accommodated use quickly on a Friday night. We were looking for fried seafood and ended up here. The fried clams are some if the best I've ever had. The lobster mac and cheese was not what we expected, but one bite and we were hooked. Some places say they use an entire lobster, well, THEY DID. There were two full claws and a large tail cut in half along with lots more meat. The bowtie pasta was under the meat and the mild cheese sause was delicate and more sauce than heavy cheddar. We would order it again in a minute. Fried scallops were a hit along with the steaks and dinner salads. Wish I had taken pictures. We showed up pretty late so the place was quirt and we got to enjoy the lake view.

It wasn't a bad place to enjoy brunch! The waitress was amiable and helpful. However, my husband and I both believe they were short-staffed! We actually waited for our food for about 40 minutes! They brought our food to the table; only my sister's scrambled eggs were hot, and both my husband's and my food were cold already. I am not from the place, and I am not sure when I will have another chance to go back and try it again their food. Unless you are lucky enough and receive your HOT food, I would give you a heads up on the common issue some other people have mentioned as well.

Three of us dined there for breakfst on Sunday 10/23/22 - the place was mobbed and the staff was nearly out of control. One of us had pancakes which were raw, another asked for toast well done - turned out to be just bread. A takeout turned out to be something completely different to what was ordered - lesson : always inspect your takeout before leaving a restaurant. We found it to be very expensive in relation to other places.

Good breakfast. Ate outside with the boy and the dog. Super friendly staff. I love the view when we sit overlooking herons on the lake.

I was hired as a manager here. Every night I closed there were multiple mice running thru the dining room, the kitchen n in the basement, roaches on the counters. There are several fridges that are broken n do not hold the correct food safe temperature. In trying to report this to the owner I was reprimanded for telling the other managers.
We were never paid our correct wage per our contracts and just happened to be the only people of color, after a 6 day of work I got a check for $66.00. Under minimum wage n not what our contract agreed
I will also report to the board of health, bbb, Massachusetts dependent of labor standards… I will make a review on every platform . I will be heard, my correct wages will be paid or you will be sued… now I’m off to Yelp!!!
