    This is for the Spencer location…read more This is a small place located across from the Post Office. There is about a dozen or so tables inside and a bar seating for about 5 people. I've only gone in for Take out/Pick up, so I can't comment on service or drinks. The food is, O.K., not horrible either. One step up from mediocre, depending on what you order. I usually get the chix parm. First few times they were skimpy on the red sauce, so I ordered a side of it and of course didn't need it. May had been the opposite had I not requested. I have no complaints of my dinner. It's good, but NOT fantastic. My mom got the Broiled Haddock, she complained it had to much crumbs and seasoning, and was dried out. My wife got the Boneless Buffalo Wings. She didn't realize that the Buffalo sauce is ALREADY on the chix, she though it would come as a dipping sauce. One should request it in the side so the chix will stay crispy. Trying one, it tasted like it could have used a little more time in the fryer. Spencer is a tough place to have a small business. Connect prices are reasonable, and the food isn't bad. But definitely has room for improvement.

    This is for the NB location. I've been a handful of times now over the last year or so, and…read morealthough I don't love the vibe in there, the food is very very good! They also serve a homemade focaccia bread with dipping oil that is drooooool worthy. I recommend trying the meatball appetizer, four huge delicious meatballs for a great price. The sauce is delicious. The portions all around are large, too. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!

    Hitchcock Tavern - Sweet potato fries...healthy for me.

    My first time back since the new owners took over. It was still very loud inside even though we…read morearrived on the earlier side for dinner the bar was pretty full already. Maybe with some rugs layed down it would help the noise? The name and the vision inside don't match, nothing really special to see inside. I ordered nachos as my meal last night, they looked yummy but once I started eating i realized that the chips were very toasted from the oven and crispy and any specks of cheese were dried and burned into the chips (see photo). Not until I dug to the bottom did I find any cheese. Really I could have just done that at home. I didn't send it back because my husband & daughters meals were there and they were enjoying and didn't want theirs to become cold. Being our second time trying the restaurant we decided we wouldn't make it a third. The waitstaff were very pleasant and attentive.

    Hitchcock Tavern has had its ups and downs (over 265 years in business, it happens). The Tavern is…read morein a small town, with not a lot of big business's or industry nearby, so it's primarily a transient (on a major state route) and local population venue. The town does roll-up the sidewalks at 500pm...so I know it's a tough business wherein to make a few bucks. They upped their menu options a few months back (yeah!) and have altered hours a bit, now opening at 11:30am every day. (also yeah!) The menu is a bit limited (which is not bad; work the interesting offerings, update when needed), but very good. I live local to the HT, and stop in maybe once a month for a lunch or before dinner (I avoid Friday and Saturday, as it can get very noisy in there). Today, my wife and I stopped at 300pm for their smash burgers (2 patties, lettuce, onion, tomato) on a Caprese roll. Great roll for the type of burger. I think they can source better tomatoes, as we are in the middle of a farming area, so summer and fall they should consider local produce and make the slices bigger. French fries were good, but not unique. We ordered a bowl of sweet potato fries as a starter, and they were good. Enough to take home and try with some various cocktail sauces we have. I usually get their edamame dumplings, but they were out. If you order their nachos and cheese, it is a big plate, so be warned. They have a few local craft beers, but it would be nice to see a more expansive list. I understand most locals go for the generic beer basic brands, but still...Plenty of craft brewers in Central Mass. Same with the wine; there is a local winery the next town over (shameless plug: Hardwick Winery) that is quite good, and I'm sure a bit of support both ways would be eventful. We have a local cider grower too, that could pair nicely (shameless plug: Ragged Hill) The pricing on the lunch-time specials make HT an easy option to go to. I know that server staff is tough to get, let alone retain, and I often give a bit more slack in the expectations in that area these days. Our server, Holly, also does early opening bar duty, and she made a great dry martini. And those are tough to make, and so easy to screwup. Thanks, Holly. Parking in the lot can be tough on a busy night, but, plenty of free and safe street parking within a 1-3 minute walk. The Tavern is not a romantic venue, exquisite, nor super-fine dining. It is a reliable, local, historic, restaurant to get a solid meal, a good drink, meet with friends, and relax. They do a great function offering I will say (have used it several times), and I am glad to see changing weekly-monthly specials, holiday meals, and have flights when a new liquor hits the shelf. They now have an outdoor tent for the ending summer and fall nights. So to the owners and chef, keep thinking outside the box, and you'll make this a solid start for your next 265 years.
