    All American
    Hungrytommy ..

    We got very friendly service and a nice breakfast. I ordered the All American with bacon. The bacon and eggs were spot on. It also came with toast and hashbrowns. It's hard to find hashbrowns around here so that was nice. They needed a lot more salt and pepper though. My son got a Mickey Mouse pancake with chocolate chips. Boy are they generous with the chocolate. He certainly was a fan of that. The atmosphere is shooting for a retro look, but doesn't impress. The cost was fair and it's a fine choice if you are nearby.

    Ohhhh my :) large plate silver spoon deliciousness as far as the eye can see Fresh flavored French toast - brisket cheesy hash brown & beans under 2 eggs - pastrami & Swiss omelette !!! & soooo much more. I feel like I just discovered the holy grail of breakfast places.

    I love the retro decorations at this place! The staffs here are friendly. Their fries and bacon were surprisingly good. Great spot in town for breakfast.

    FUNKY DINER. Great food. Really good breakfasts and a good size portion as well. Had omletes with hasbrowns (go for the hasbrowns over the home fries). Also had some eggs bennie as they call them. And, of course, a stack of blueberry pancakes. All were excellent and cooked just right. The bottomless coffee cup hit the spot. And the price cant be beat. A great place that we are glad friends took us too. Highly recommend the place at anytime.

    SO like I said...I hit this place up every weekend...usually twice... And my order is pretty much the same... Usually two medium eggs, toast, hash browns... And I've actually been on a little omelet kick lately...kielbasa, colby cheese and onions...with some hash browns and a nicely grilled English muffins. One of our fave staffers, Robin, waited on us this AM...and challenged us to go off the reservation a little bit...and order up some Egg Benedict...Zeus style...which amounts to some spinach, feta cheese and a slice of tomato between each egg and english muffin. Except she threw in her version...and suggested we get it with ham...all copiously covered with some hollandaise sauce. Now, I've had Egg Bennies here a while back...and while I am not the hugest fan of Bennies, they were pretty good. This time, however...wow...Good Call Robin! Now the eggs, at first, actually came out minus one key ingredient...the feta. Mike, the Owner and grill expert extraordinaire, had Robin grab those eggs from us immediately....to make that Greek Zeus proper... Wouldn't have been the same without it...we probably threw him off with our unusual order...lol. Now, this is a ton of food...my phone camera doesn't do it justice, but I did attach a pic. Bring your appetite... Between the good eats...and the awesome staff and the way they take care of us...and all their patrons...this place is tops. Trust me...get a bite there next weekend morning, last weekend before Xmas...and if you walk outta there unhappy, then you just wouldn't know a good breakfast if it hit you upside the head.

    Do not miss the homemade hash. Also, in the back, the eggs zeus is awesome.

    We very much enjoy the location in Tyngsborough because the service is good and you actually get…read morehot food unlike Salem, NH which is sadly a disaster. During this meal we got the Bavarian pretzel which comes with cheese sauce and a few apple slices. It was very good like always and TSQ had a coupon for a free app if you are part of their loyalty program. That was awesome! I got my usual which at this location comes out hot, Salem, NH not so much - Baked Tortellini Bolognese which the menu details as: Braised short rib, sweet Italian sausage, whipped ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese. So delish!

    We were a large party there for a business function between the lunch and dinner rush. Because of…read morethe time, it was pretty quiet there and we were largely to ourselves in the back corner of the restaurant. Once we were seated, we had our drinks order taken quickly. The wait staff was very accommodating with our need to split the bill across multiple cards and double checked who was on which check before we were ready to pay. Our food came out reasonably quick after ordering. I had ordered the steak tips and substituted the mashed potatoes with the Parmesan fries. The fries were good by pub standards, though they either weren't recently cut or they were frozen. The broccoli was pretty overcooked and lacking seasoning. The steak itself came out cooked a perfect medium rare (as requested). The only issue with the steak is that it was lacking tenderness. Good quality steak tips should be tender when cooked medium rare and these had a few tough pieces that had to be cut around. Overall it's a reasonable amount and quality of food for the price paid. Service was great and the restaurant was quiet, clean and enjoyable to be in.

    Update after a few more visits has them down to a 4 based on inconsistency…read more -- Roast Chicken: Hearty fall/winter dish with crisp skin, herbs aplenty, and gravy underneath, with roasted carrots and mashed potatoes. A little dry in the interior. No longer on the menu as of last week. -- Grilled Shrimp: Plump shrimp whose paprika-heavy rub and grill flavor balanced the butteriness, with a pepper aioli joining as well. On top, pickled fennel. Underneath, grilled sourdough that soaked in the grill, butter, and seafood flavors. Fantastic but no longer on the menu as of last week. -- Forge & Vine Cheeseburger: All the same ingredients as on a Big Mac, only of much higher quality, on a thick burger of high quality. I've been hoping to relive the glory of my first burger here (see previous review), but it's been rocky. Good grill flavor and outer crusting, but medium to medium well when I ordered medium rare. (Yes, I mentioned it to the server and manager.) Still a pretty good burger, and the bacon I added this time was thick and walking the tightrope between crispy and bendy. But a big miss on hitting greatness again. So I gave it another chance the next visit, and it was again overdone. But this time I sent it back, and the one they sent out was very good. The most recent visit only required one try: excellent, with the right crust outside and proper pink and juicy inside, along with a solid assortment of vegetables and condiments. An exemplary burger-- when they cook it right. -- Calamari: An eye-catching appetizer with the mostly thin rings pretty much treated like chicken wings, with a spicy tangy glaze, an aïoli underneath, and some kimchi on top for presentation. Very good crunch and flavor, but thicker pieces would have allowed a better tasting of the seafood itself. Still very enjoyable and I'd get it again. -- Shrimp Cocktail: Solid job, good size, presented in ice with lemon wedges and a cocktail sauce a little light on the horseradish. -- Grilled Swordfish Meunière: A thick slab, lightly grilled, fairly. A thin brown butter sauce, capers, and sautéed mustard greens added some much needed moisture and oomph. No longer on the menu as of last week. -- Jimmy Nardello Peppers: Long, bright red, no heat, slightly sour, and somewhat fruity like peppadew, dressed up with garlic aioli, chimichurri, and coriander seed. Outstanding. Great beer pairing. Beautiful space. Good to outstanding service. Cody pours his heart and soul into the experience, exuding enthusiasm from the greeting through the check. Some might find it a little overdramatic, but after enduring too many AWOL and near-comatose servers elsewhere, I can't get enough of it. I like this place, and consider it good to very good, but it seems like the proteins (especially the grilled items) turn up a little too dry a little too often to consider them great. Their pricing is high but well worth it when the execution is there. When it's not, it's a too-expensive just-okay. Despite the inconsistency, going with a 4 based on the most recent visit being problem-free.

    Had our 3rd dining experience at this restaurant tonight. Was interesting that we walked right in…read morewith no wait. Not as busy as it used to be to be. Still a beautiful place with lovely atmosphere. The food is still disappointing. I had a scallop starter. It looked like 2 scollops that was cut in half. Smaller than a quarter, served on a shell on a bed of very Fishy smelling seaweed for $24. Drinks were good and service was great. If you are going to sell your protein based on size, like you do with your steaks, then maybe start doing the same with weight size for seafood products. Quantity and quality is important.
