Surprise hit was the fried pickles that were lightly battered and the buffalo chicken mac n' cheese special that had buffalo tenders on top of a cavatappi pasta that had a sort of a fancy take on a kraft mac n' cheese. Smashburger was quite tasty, thick bacon and decent special sauce -- fries were definitely frozen but okay. Only comment is the booth we were in had a really uncomfortable sunken in bench on one side that definitely needed some repair. Otherwise would return after another Walden visit.

We started with cocktails, arugula salad and bread service. Everything was fresh and bread was yummy, drizzled with honey butter.

I had a Cesar salad that had chunks of the ends of the lettuce - annoying. And whatever seasoning that was on the chicken didn't go with the vibe of the salad and was dry as a bone. My friend ordered seared scallops which came thrown on top of a cartoon like pile of fries. She didn't have time to complain because the waitress was out to ask us how it was before we had a bite (the runner brought the food). When she finally came back to ask if we needed boxes - my friend explained the issues with the inedible scallops. The waitress said the owner was there and would come talk to us. The owner didn't come out, a manager never came, and the waitress dropped the bill off and walked away. She came back with the machine to run cards - no apology, no please come back another time ... nothing. I am from Maynard and was embarrassed that this is what happened.

Beer selections are minimal but just varied enough that you'll find something to your liking, whether mainstream or craft. The food menu is much deeper, nailing most of the pub food classics. As a burgers and wings guy, that was my focus, but there's enough greenery to satisfy my vegetarian wife too. GPH Burger: A well sourced blend, made into a patty of good thickness, grilled over an open flame, and housed in a potato bun with a generous allotment of toppings. Beautiful presentation, and most importantly, the flavor of the beef came through, never getting lost. You can order pink or no pink; I went pink, and on my first visit they nailed the temperature, color, and juiciness to go along with the crusty exterior. Good seasoning, and very enjoyable grill flavor. One of the best burgers I've had this year. Tried it again on a second visit, again requesting pink, but: a) not pink or juicy, and b) no flame grill flavor. Still a decent burger-- mostly because the addition of some nicely chewy and very strongly cured bacon picked up some of the slack. Third try, a repeat of the first, so two out of three ain't bad. Smashburger: Solid enough, though not as pronounced of surface crispness as a proper smashburger. Fries: Hand-cut, plentiful, dark, crispy, and just droopy enough. There's no salt on the table, but these were salted perfectly. Ketchup is an off brand, with a little more tartness than the standard, but it worked fine. Onion Rings: The thick ring, thick batter kind, and very crunchy. All depends on whether you like that style. Hot Dog: The menu lists them with fries included, but if you're already getting a burger, you can add one on without getting the extra fries. Toasted New England flat-sided bun, very juicy, grilled wiener, and toppings you can choose. Chili is a $3 add-on, but note there are beans included. I enjoyed mine and would get it again without the chili. Wings: Went Buffalo once, somewhat crisp, somewhat tender, nice sauce, with spices and seasonings, but not what I'd call Buffalo and not much coverage. These are baked, then fried, so missing a little something.went sweet chili on the next visit, and these were closer to the listed flavor and a little closer to wings that quench a wings craving.

Finally decided to check out this place. These guys have taken over the former location of…read moreSingapore and have really livened up the area with its welcoming lighting and outdoor seating. The primary reason I chose to eat here was because they have a full menu that's available all the way up until 11:00PM. This is perfect for me because I typically arrive home around 10:30PM and there are no good options open!! Parking is incrediblyly easy. If their specific parking lot is packed, you have the entire rest of the plaza to park in; especially the nearby Sherwin-Williams and Kappy's lots. This place is one of many locations in their chain and I am very familiar with them. They have great interior design that makes them an easy spot for a quick date or somewhere to chill and watch some kinda sport (like the World Cup right now!) I decided to order a feast with my wife; Bang Bang Broccoli ; I ALWAYS order this dish. It's always perfectly lightly crispy and the chili garlic sauce is perfect. It even stays crispy as a fridge leftover! Cornflake Fried Chicken Tenders (maple gochujang) ; my wife's funny. she thought this was legit Korean Fried Chicken because of how great the crispiness and the flavors were. This is a top pick if you're craving Bonchon or bb.Q Chicken but you don't want to make the long drive Korean Crispy Chicken ; I ordered this for my wife but she actually filled up on everything before taking a bite. This tastes great and the glaze used is actually the same sauce we chose on the chicken tenders mentioned above. Can't go wrong with this if you're more of a chicken sandwich than a chicken tendies person. Mac + Cheese ; I am actually not a big fan of Mac and Cheese and I ordered this specifically to go with the tenders. But honestly, this may have changed my opinion. Very delicious and cheesy and great for sharing in a group. One of the few Mac and Cheese in a restaurant I actually enjoy. Hot Honey Chicken Stack ; very very good!! but the hot honey glaze becomes nauseatingly sweet as you become more and more full, and as you reach the end of your plate and you're trying to finish off the rice that's been soaking in the glaze for the past half hour. The chicken itself was borderline dry which isn't a surprise since it appeared be thinly sliced breasts with a nice char. I probably won't ever get this again since I prefer the other chicken dishes above were more juicy. We didn't do any bar service, and the waitress did her expected job of making sure we had filled glasses and checking if the food was good. Nothing stand outs to complain or compliment. We had a great experience here and I am totally going to come back the next time I am craving dinner at 10:30PM.

Formerly Baba & the Legacy Kitchen/Fotini's, this place was redone nicely with a full service bar with soft chair seating and table seating with booth backs & soft chairs along the front windows and right side & back walls. There are several flatscreen TVs mounted on the walls and behind the bar. There is also a nice outside patio in front of the building with table seating and soft firm pillows on the seats. The food offerings include a selection of appetizers, soups, chili, salads, burgers, handhelds, pasta dishes, bar pizza (10"), steaks, seafood, chicken dishes, desserts, and a childrens' menu. The pricing here is moderate. The bar offers 10 draft beers, beer bottles/cans, wine list, sangria, spirits, and cocktails. I stopped by Oak & Orchard for a late lunch over the weekend. Since it was a sunny clear day outside, the outside patio was open with partial shade covering and moderately busy. I requested to be seated out on the patio and and I was able to relax out in the sun and given lunch & drink menus. The server arrived promptly after being seated. I got an ice water and ordered the Chips & Dip ($8 plus tax), Chili ($10 plus tax), and Mac & Cheese ($12 plus tax). The Chips & Dip came out first, which had homemade hot crispy seasoned salted potato chips with a dense creamy French onion dip & chives. Next, the crock of Chili with tri-color tortilla chips and the Mac & Cheese arrived. The chili served very hot had a soupy consistency with seasoned beef, cumin, beans, tomato, melted cheese, sour cream, red onions. The tortilla chips were a nice & crispy. The mac & cheese was creamy and saucy mixed with al dente cavatappi pasta, topped with parsley. I requested a box for some of the mac & cheese, so I could get dessert. For dessert, the Orchard Crisp ($8 plus tax) was served hot, which had apples & pears, cinnamon oats, vanilla ice cream and caramel drizzle, topped with fresh apple slices. After I was done, the check was presented which was $40.66 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food tasted pretty good for the most part. The potato chips were on the saltier side and the chili and mac & cheese had soupy consistencies, though I prefer thick chili and denser sauce pasta dishes. The Orchard Crisp was excellent. The service was adequate as my food was served in good time. I would come back here for dinner.

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.

The food is good, just not particularly memorable. That said, the service is consistently good and it's still a nice place to meet up or go for a casual night out. I'd love to see some fresher or more creative menu rotations in the future because the setting definitely deserves it.

They have a full bar in the middle, and you order as usual. On one wall (huge wall), they have beers and you use a card issued to you to access the pours. Self-service basically! What I didn't like was the layout of the beers, all by brewery vs. type! I would prefer to peruse the IPAs vs Lagers vs Stouts, etc. vs the brand! Since it was very crowded, it was hard to even peruse the wall. But fun concept and definitely would return! I didn't get any pictures (except of people) to share, too crowded.
