I ordered the advertised special Patty Melt…I received a piece of burger meat with barely melted American cheese (not Swiss) on white toast…not grilled Sourdough and no grilled onions…..fries weren’t salted….I will say we had great service but the food frankly was not

We have been here several times lately. The food is great and fairly priced, service is always good too. Would have given a 5 but on one occasion we took my mother in law on a Sunday afternoon and there was a bunch of college kids yelling to the point where we couldn't hear ourselves talking. I know college kids can be noisy and could even understand if it was later on a Friday or Saturday night but it was way too much for a Sunday afternoon.

Adore the French onion soup and the Roast Beef Aujus..The place does need an upgrade. (Bryant College hangout)

Chili was very good. Husband had chicken wins teriyaki style and enjoyed them. I had potato skins and the had good amount of potato still 8n them and were crisp. I was going to have the lobster roll as the waitress had said it was fresh not frozen lobster but came back to say the fish shipment had not arrived and it was frozen. I changed my mind. She also correctly described the prosecco. She was an excellent waitress .

To start, the parentes staff is horribly rude and disrespectful to its customers, even those that are respectful. I will not lie; it gets busy and valid to be upset, but to scream "are you f***ing kidding me" when a guest walks in and actively refuse service to them, it makes a customer question- should I be spending my money here? And that's exactly the thing- these people think they can get away with this treatment because PEOPLE KEEP COMING! (And guess what... it's the underagers). Tonight was the last and final straw. Verbal Disrespect and rudeness can be tolerated, but the physical mistreatment cannot. My friend was sitting on the toilet when male manager Larry knocked down the stall door asking if she knew the Person on the ID he was holding. Half undressed she asked "can you get out" and he asked if someone was getting sick in the bathroom, and if she recognized the woman on the ID. my friend, in shock, said no and asked him to leave again. On his own time, he left. Startled; she came out and told a few of us at the bar what had happened. My other friend confronted him about the situation- where he called her a little bitch and a male stepped into the situation. Here, it was considered serious. Our male friend was escorted out of the Resturant and 3 female workers came outside explaining that this behavior happens to them "all the time". This explains why they are so rude on their shifts- I mean, I would be too. This is disgusting, sickening, and unacceptable. Any business to this bar is business against women, mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends. F**k this place.

I've been going to this bar/restaurant for 20 yrs now. Their food isn't the best but there are a few items that are normally dependable and consistently delicious. Unfortunately this time both items ordered were not the usual quality. Chicken fingers were mostly soggy breading and cheese fries weren't cooked the normal way. These are the ONLY reason my friend and I go for the nostalgia food of old days. Maybe it was just an off day but there was only 1 server on who also was bar tending, the wait time was extremely long when there were only a handful of guests, and she was kind of rude, rather flustered, not exactly enjoyable. The entire place literally smelled like a toilet and urine when we walked in. The entire experience was disappointing and I should have just left when I had to wait 15 mins to be seated when the place was empty. It wasn't a busy time or I'd be a bit more understanding. I don't plan on returning, it isn't worth the frustration.
