This is the place Braintree has been waiting for. The resturant is named after the old Bates theatre that once stood there, and any of the food on the theatre themed menu is amazing. I highly recommend the souvlaki. Paired with the homemade tzatziki it sure to leave your taste buds sighing in relief of the sweet joy that is great food. A huge selection of craft beers, and drinks to please any of your palates as you enjoy your food and the atmosphere. Most of the craft beers are from local breweries including my personal favorite Down East. I found the staff friendly, and courteous which made the experience all the more enjoyable. read more

I've made this my "go to" spot when I crave a burger at lunchtime. In my opinion, it is the tastiest burger around. Every one has been mouth wateringly delicious and obviously made with care. The beer menu is by far, the best I have seen, outside of Boston. The bartenders have all been very friendly and attentive. The bar itself is big, comfortable, clean and well organized. The room is wide open with high ceilings and big windows in the front. That, along with great lighting and music make the whole experience great. I always leave happy. Bates Bar and Grill is doing things right! read more

My friends and I went here randomly on NYE not expecting to stay the night, but had such a great time. Their bartender was very attentive. They also had THE BEST Grecian pizza. I can imagine their other pizzas are good but this is by far the best pizza on the south shore. My cousin and I have already gone back and plan to go back next week for this specific pizza. Not a normal yelp reviewer but when you have something good to say- you should share it! read more

Employees were very nice and personable and with how busy it was still found a way to make sure that we always had what we needed. They also have a good selection on their menu and have always loved everything I have ordered. Would highly recommend this spot to others and will be coming back soon! read more
