Fast and efficient with a full bar- quite impressive! Staff was great too- everyone whom we interacted with was wonderful! We all ordered the pear drink & it was absolutely delicious and strong!! Well worth the money! The nacho's were probably the best nachos I've ever had! It was 4 of us and we had MORE than enough. Perfect portion size! I got the Burro Bowl which I would rate as Good, but not the best I ever had. They definitely use high quality ingredients. I will definitely come back, looking forward to trying their winter sangria or the strawberry drink they had! Oh and upstairs they had amazing igloos- but they are only open on the weekends! We will have to go back on a weekend!

We were thirsty and looking for a quick bit, and happened upon the Worcester Beer Garden. It has very pleasant outside dining area, ideal for a drink and some interesting bar food. The menu options include dishes such as: Pierogis $11.00 Nachos $16.00 Quesadilla $14.00 Bavarian Pretzels $9.00 Pickle Chips $9.00 We opted to share a corned beef roll. I'd like to provide more detail, but their website menu page isn't working, and it's difficult to find a menu for them. Prices may not be up to date. We thought the roll was very tasty, albeit somewhat heavy. My beer was excellent, and the wine was cold and refreshing according to my co-diner. The waitress was excellent. It wasn't busy yet, but it was getting busier. They have games here (putting, corn hole, etc.) and on busy nights open up a pavilion area with a giant tv screen. We had a pleasant respite from the heat and look forward to returning to what they say is the largest patio area in Worcester. 3.5 stars rounded up to four for the venue and service on this visit.

Everyone was just kind of hanging out separately but together, the only weird thing was the servers had trouble finding numbers of tables- but eventually they found us! It honestly was quicker service than expected. The food. THE FOOD. Amazing. I started with the soft pretzel and it was amazing. It was warm, soft, chewy and perfectly salty. It was a deep dark brown and very large. They served it hanging and with cheese and mustard sides. It was great. For an entree I ordered the chicken pesto quesadilla. Floored. It was crispy, and delicious. The pesto was really well balanced, and I love the sour cream and lettuce on the sides. This came with a side of queso too that was straight from heaven. We didn't get any napkins at the table so it was a little greasier than expected but overall great. This place is over an hour away from our house- and we are planning to come back just to eat here.

The Boynton: Where "Portion Control" Goes to Die ​If you're…read morelooking for a dainty meal and a quiet place to contemplate your life choices, you're in the wrong zip code. The Boynton is a Worcester institution where the napkins are thin, the booths are legendary, and the food portions are sized for a literal grizzly bear preparing for hibernation. ​The Highlights: ​The Pizza: The crust is weirdly sweet, the cheese is an architectural hazard, and it's arguably the most addictive substance in Central Mass. One slice is a meal; a whole pie is a commitment to a three-day nap. ​The "Buckets": Why drink from a glass when you can drink neon-colored spirits out of a literal sand pail? It's all fun and games until you reach the bottom and realize you can't remember your own zip code. ​The Chaos: It's a beautiful, loud mess of WPI students, local legends, and families. If you don't have a reservation, just pull up a chair in the parking lot and wait three business days. ​The Verdict: You will arrive as a functioning member of society and leave as a human-pizza hybrid in desperate need of stretchy pants. ​5/5 stars. I regret nothing except trying to finish those fries.

I had fun, sang a bunch, then decided it was time to go. Bill came to $42. I took my card, slid the slip back across the bar WITHOUT SIGNING IT and handed the bartender $65 IN CASH, and did not ask for any change back. Two days later, I checked my account. Not only was there a charge for $42, but another charge for $33. Ok, no big deal, the place was busy, mistakes happen. I called the number listed when I googled the bar. Had to leave a message. They don't have a website, so I went to their facebook page and sent a message via messenger. I gave a detailed account of what I drank, what the bill was, the last four digits of my card number, and the two charges despite my having paid in cash. They left it read, but did not respond. I contacted the karaoke DJ, who is a friend of mine and asked if he knew how to get ahold of anyone over there. He offered to stop by that night and speak to whoever was working and inquire about the situation. He reported back that he told the bartender there about it, and asked for someone to contact him. A week goes by. Crickets. I call and leave another message. I send another Messenger message. It gets read again, but still no response. I contact my bank and dispute the charges. I contact my friend again who again goes up there and asks for someone to get back to one of us. Nothing. July 14th I send yet another message, saying that I could see that the others had been read, and asking why they aren't responding. Interestingly, it does not show that it has been read. Left another message today. Such an easy thing to remedy. A simple apology and offer to correct the mistake is all that was needed. I tipped very nicely, was polite and friendly. I have never caused any issues there, and always treat the bartenders respectfully. So why couldn't they just call me back? Own your mistakes!

We visited on a Monday morning around 10 am and I thought for sure I was going to a diner. Nope. There's a diner there, but you go in a door next to the diner, I could see the empty diner as I walked by (see picture), but you're pretty much going into a barroom that serves breakfast (see picture). There's a bar with seating around it and a bartender/server behind the counter and all the liquor on shelves. My first thought was it smells like someone has been smoking in here. We grabbed a high top and our server came over with menus and we ordered shortly afterwards. I ordered my usual eggs over easy, corn beef hash, home fries and wheat toast, my husband ordered as omelette and home fries. Our meals were meh, the home fries were dry af and the corn beef hash was un memorable. This is a pretty popular place and we were trying to figure out why? We decided it has to be that they serve alcohol. As we were leaving my husband mentioned the stank of cigarettes so I knew it wasn't only me who could smell it. I gave the stars for the service as I wouldn't go back.
