Lets start by saying as soon as I got out of the car I could smell the deliciousness pouring out the building. Parking lot was busy but when I walked in, dead. Not sure if that was the telling sign but for a rainy Saturday afternoon I would expect someone in here. Few people did show up after I ordered so that was good. Looked over the menu and none of the apps really stood out so went with what I came here for which was the brisket. Ordered that with a side of beans, brussels sprouts and a key lime pie to finish off the meal afterwards. Nothing I had screamed I need to come back soon. The pastrami did look good in one of the pictures here on Yelp, and a couple of gentlemen who showed up later order chicken sandwiches and I overheard them saying they were chicken sandwich connoisseurs and it was very good. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing? I was happy about the service. Struck a nice conversation with the bartender about the music playlist and how pleasing it was to hear some tracks that really fly under the radar being played. I do want to give here another chance being close to home. Place is pricey for bbq and as I said was not overly impressed with the food. There is a place near Stowe, VT that has really set the bar for me of what really good brisket is. And there is BT's in Strubridge, MA. which too has good selection of bbq. read more

Came here for a late lunch with hubby's aunt and uncle. An unassuming bbq joint in the plaza next to CVS, we were pleasantly surprised at their offerings! We started with the spicy shrimp hushpuppies... they are good, just wish you got a few more with the order! Chipotle aioli is a nice compliment to them. For entree, hubs went with the brisket cheesesteak while I went with the reuben.... highly recommend the reuben! Salty, flavorful, griddled to perfection....I'd absolutely get this again. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Looks like they do a good amount of takeout too! Would return! read more

How is this place still in business? Food was horrendous and expensive. I could say more but why? Got take out can't comment on the service. Ambiance was the only upside here from my picking up the food looks like a nice place. read more

I literally created a Yelp account just to write this review. My experience was *that* bad. If you're short on time, here's the short version: just go to Theodore's. Better food, better service, better overall experience. The location itself is nice, conveniently located, and there's plenty of parking. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. We were a party of six and apparently that qualifies as a "large party" with an automatic 20% gratuity. Nobody mentioned that to us, which might explain why our service felt like such a low priority. We ordered three appetizers. They took forever to arrive, and only one was actually hot. The Brussels sprouts had great flavor and a nice crisp texture, but they were stone cold and had to be sent back. The $20 chips were stale. Charging twenty bucks for stale food is wild. Oh and be prepared to pay $6 a soda too. Things didn't improve from there. My sides arrived before my brisket. The cornbread was warm and probably the best thing I ate all night. The waitress forgot my mac and cheese, which turned out to be a blessing because after tasting someone else's, it tasted like boxed Velveeta. Save your money. The onion rings were oddly sweet and tasted more like funnel cake than onion rings. Everyone at the table received their meals except me. About fifteen minutes later, the waitress stopped by to check on us. When I asked about my brisket, she went to investigate and came back saying they were still "working on it." More time passed before it finally arrived. By then, all of my sides were cold. The brisket itself was tender, but it was lacking flavor and, once again, cold. One thing that really surprised me: this is a BBQ restaurant, yet no BBQ sauce was brought to the table. We had to ask for it. In fact, we had to ask for everything. And every request meant another long wait for the waitress to circle back. Eventually, we stopped asking for basic things like ketchup (and drink refills) because it just wasn't worth it. Between the slow service, cold food, forgotten items, and underwhelming barbecue, this was a disappointing experience from start to finish. read more

We dined here on the last night of school vacation week with 4 kids ranging in age from 5 to 15. We came in exhausted from a day at Six Flags. We did not have a reservation, so for 6 people, we expected a wait when walking in at 7:30 pm. We were greeted and seated in less than 2 min. The staff was extremely friendly. Joe, our server, was prompt and made great suggestions. We ordered the app Hot Mess, and it was exactly as advertised, a hot mess but absolutely delicious. Everyone at the table enjoyed it. We went on to try the BBQ tacos and the BBQ platter, both outstanding. The Grand daddy was a one-and-done cocktail for me as it was strong. I would highly recommend it if you like an old-fashioned. We have decided that it is well worth the 2 hr drive for this meal now, when we make a trip to Six Flags it must include a stop at Fletchers's read more

Our third time to visit this spot. The food is pretty good and consistent. Good flavor and decent portions. The servers are attentive and keep things flowing and cups full. Although, I think it's a bit ridiculous to pay $2 for an ice cube in my scotch, I've never been up-charged for ice at a restaurant before. The Parking lot can house maybe 20 spaces shares by the four businesses in the building so be prepared for that, it's a hiring a pain. There is additional parking on the side street but not ideal. All in all it's not a bad spot, nothing to write home about. read more

We visited with friends recently and were very disappointed. The service was slow, drink and food orders were forgotten, and when the food finally arrived it was cold. The chips were stale, the BBQ meats were tender but cold, and the prices did not match the quality. Overall, not a good experience every dish came out cold and we won't be returning. read more

Bad, just bad. The Mac and cheese was not only bad, it was cold. The brisket cheese steak was warm at best and beyond dry. I ate less than half- didn't even take the other half home. The 1 bbq sauce offering was fair at best. The corn-beef was barely edible (bread was ok). By daughters exact words regarding her order "how do you f-up a cob salad!" The menu states "award winning". I'm just curious what award this place could possibly have won! Go to Bears. Go to BT's. Go to Bub's. Go to Zack and Lou's. They are all considerably better. Service was good - read more

The wife and I's First time here and our server Jordan C., was very welcoming polite personable knowledgeable and helpful as she recommended an array of awesome dishes from the menu (pics to follow) so we started w/the Onion rings which were hot fresh and battered in a nice flavorful yet slightly sweet batter( similar to fried dough batter) then our entrees were (His- brisket cheesesteak & uniquely seasoned waffle fries) (Hers- brisket plate entree W/ marvelous Mac n cheese). Ambiance is welcoming inviting and overall dining room setup is very efficient for guests and employees alike. Will surely be returning to try something new soon... read more

We booked Easter brunch at Fletcher's expecting a great experience -- but instead, we left disappointed and frustrated. Their advertised prix fixe menu listed a choice of coffee or mimosa, starting at 10:00 AM. Sounds simple enough, right? Except when we got there, we were told they couldn't serve alcohol until noon. I even mentioned that Massachusetts law allows service at 10 AM on Sundays (and Longmeadow too), but the manager quickly cut me off, saying their license says 12 PM and walked away -- no explanation, no empathy, just dismissal. Let me be clear: this isn't about wanting alcohol. It's about expectation and experience. Brunch and mimosas go hand in hand -- it's part of the vibe, especially on a holiday like Easter. If your liquor license has a limitation, say that in the promotion. Don't advertise something you can't serve at the time you say you will. It's misleading, and frankly, it wasted our time on a special day. I hope they fix their advertising and take more care with how they communicate to customers. Because today? This was not it. read more

Seems like the spot can give other ones in the area a possible run for the money & in this case I did a double order: first I opted for the BBQ platter with ribs & chicken & contacting the spot to inform them I didn't need pickles or coleslaw (accidentally they put the pickles in) and turned out the cornbread is part of that and inadvertently did a second so they recommend two times beans (okay with me) second I opted for BBQ fries & these are waffle style (photos coming of all) & I think they got game plus myself an extra meal. read more

The food was good. I got a three meat platter with pork, lean brisket, and ribs. I was very happy with my meal, but service is a mess. The hostess was hiring her cape and blowing it in the kitchen when I walked in. The cook had to run my food cause it sat in the window for almost 10 mins with only two other tables, and three at the bar. I was glad I tired it, but won't be back. read more

Went to Fletchers on a Monday evening. It wasn't busy at all. Food came out pretty quickly, which was ok with us. The chicken and brisket were both very moist but lacked flavor. I personally didn't care for the BBQ sauce. The sides were tasty. The brisket cheesesteak was good at first but once the sandwich started to cook the cheese sauce got gross. All in all it was an ok experience nothing to memorable. The two meals with a seltzer and one beer cost us $90 with tip. A bit pricey. read more

Excellent BBQ with some cool options. Also menu has lots of gluten free items. I don't know how they do it but their waffle fries don't get soggy buried under bbq sauce and meats. I am particular about waffle fries and these are the best I have had. Good service, very attentive Ambience is good. The restaurant is tucked into this row of buildings and looks tiny but actually decent sized when you enter. read more

Awesome local BBQ! Stopped in mid-afternoon on Sunday and got right in. Tried the signature Szechuan Glazed Burnt Ends and they did not disappoint! The glaze and cook were delicious. We also shared the BBQ Platter filled with brisket, pulled pork and spare ribs. It came with delicious beans, coleslaw and pickles. Way too much for us to finish but I'm not sad - I get to enjoy it again at home. The restaurant is roomy, nicely decorated and the staff was great. If you haven't been here yet, you should! Lots of great menu items to try so we'll be sure to return! read more

Great sandwiches and loaded fries and nachos! The sides were not great. Stuck with the bbq and Sandwiches. The bbq sauce itself is not Smokey or savory it's sweet. So if u like sweetness try it! I prefer a spicy savory one. Worth the try though read more

We had dinner at Fletcher's last night and we're pleasantly surprised. We had heard that the food was ok but expensive with small portions. We both had pulled pork and a side of coleslaw. I also had a side of collsrd greens. The portion of meat was generous enough that I didn't finish it. I liked the slaw but my husband thought it was meh (not creamy enough). The collards were good as was the glass of rioja I had. We will be back. read more

Came to Fletcher's for a lunch with some friends a couple of days ago. To say that I was unimpressed would be understating it incredibly. I got burnt ends that are supposed to come in a szechuan sauce. I liked the sauce but it was certainly not szechuan. And when the meal came to the table it was luke warm at best. So I asked the waitress to take it back, whereupon she informed me that another meal would be prepared. And then, less than five minutes a later a " brand new meal" came to my table. It had obviously been placed into a microwave. And what emerged was the dryest, stringiest imitation of burnt ends I have ever encountered. How could a so called quality ( and trust me the prices at Fletcher's are not low) establishment claim that it was a real restaurant when their solution to luke warm dinners was to throw them into the microwave so that I could be impressed with the fact that my entree resembled the consistency of a goodyear tire. I certainly won't be going back and I would heed others to do the same ! read more

We had a light lunch of pulled pork sandwich and craft beer. Delicious! Onion rings were outstanding. Service was very good. Interior decor very interesting. They also do takeout and we would be regular customers if we lived nearby. read more

First time there, disappointing. The watery lemonade should have tipped us off. I have to say that the burnt ends were delicious, but that was it. The grits were flavorless and not heated all the way through. The waffle fries were tough. The house-made pickles were too vinegary. Not worth $140.00 Going to stick with Wildwood in Hadley. read more

First time visiting, started with the charred shrimp skewers and Ahi Tuna lettuce boats and ended with the sea bass, all three were really amazing. If you're sharing apps, multiple are recommended as they are light. The service was good, it was a slower evening so food was out quickly. read more

My husband and I stopped by mid-afternoon on a Sunday with our 6yo and 6mo in tow. Bar area has great ambience, can't wait to return for date night. The music was consistently great, and not too loud. We were led to a cozy corner booth in the back dining area by a friendly hostess and our server (Jordan, maybe?) was delightful as well. We just got a couple drinks -- loved the Raspberry Spritz and my husband enjoyed the Grand Daddy -- while our picky kid devoured their chicken tenders and waffle fries (not a given that he'd enjoy, unfortunately). We stole enough of his fries that we eventually ordered our own, and risked messing with perfection by adding the optional bbq seasoning. So glad we did! Not spicy, just delicious. We'll definitely be back, can't wait to try more on the menu. (And it's amazing that kids eat free on Wednesdays!) read more

This was my second time at Fletcher's and still not overly impressed. The restaurant was freezing and had unpleasant smells throughout. The server and hostess were very friendly. The service was a little slow but not because of server as she was hustling and only 2 servers working on a busy Friday night. I appreciate the large and unique wine selection but feel the price for glass was a bit much for the amount you are served. My friend had an espresso martini and did like the taste. We shared the buffalo cauliflower which I have had before and enjoyed the smoky, hot flavor. The beet and feta salad was delicious with plentiful portion of beets and oranges. The ahi tuna tacos seemed a bit small and my friend did not enjoy the taste of the shell. Although my food was tasty, not sure this is a spot I will choose to go to for night out. read more

A great addition to Longmeadow... the brisket and fries were amazing. So tender and a tasty dry rub/sauce combo. Fries were seasoned to perfection.

We're new in town and stopped by Fletcher's tonight for carry-out. The food was fantastic with incredible flavor. We especially loved the cornbread and pulled pork. As a Southerner, I know good cornbread when I taste it, and theirs was truly one of the best I've ever had. read more

Had an office lunch here. Went with just two of their barbecue items - pastrami and brisket. Was rather disappointed with both. Neither had that smokey flavor you'd expect from slow cooked barbecue. It's a nice place and we got good service. But I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for good barbecue. read more

I love Fletchers! This place is honestly one of the best restaurants in western Mass. I love the menu and the quality of the food is amazing. My favorite dish is the ahi tuna appetizer and the smoked shrimp tacos. The wine list is also awesome - one of the only restaurants in the area that carries natural wine. Definitely check out this restaurant! read more

The restaurant have a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. The waitress was wonderful with explaining the sauces and gave us recommendations. The sausage, brisket, and coleslaw were my favorites. The portions and pricing were reasonable. read more

How you can screw up coleslaw is beyond me! Yogurt?? Why!???? It is so hard to find just a normal pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw. This place had a chance to be the best and they just squandered it! At least get the basics right. Everyone I talk to about this always agrees but maybe no one bothers telling the restaurant. Whenever I consider eating there or ordering take out, I remember that they bastardized cole slaw and choose somewhere else. The nachos are pretty good though. If I'm outvoted on choice of restaurant, I just choose that. read more

This was our highly anticipated first visit to Fletchers and we were disappointed. While the service was very good, the food was quite average and pricey. The atmosphere is bland and not inviting. We had seen pictures of their Brooklyn location and it looked fun and interesting but this one with lots of plain walls is totally lacking. We won't be back. read more

Food was really really good. Had the pastrami Ruben. Excellent smokey flavor,with a nice, not overpowering pepper bark. Meat was lean. Easy on the kraut and dressing so as to not take away from the flavor of the meat. Service was great. Friendly and prompt. Food was right out, and my blueberry lavender lemonade mocktail was made to perfection. Ambiance was nice, although it seems like it could be loud with a lot of people. Clean, neat and orderly. read more

Tried for first time. Smoked chicken delicious! Moist and flavorful. "Lean" brisket not at all! Large slab of fat in ever slice. Cannot imagine what the moist brisket would look like. Potato salad bland. Overpriced with some strengths. I am used to Texas BBQ standards so my expectations were high. read more

I have eaten at the restaurant and was happy with the brisket and sides, corn bread and asparagus. For a birthday take out not too happy. Minuscule tenderloin serving and asparagus was dried out. Mac @cheese very disappointing. read more

So... let me give ya'll the whole story. Ordered online. That process was easy via Toast Tab. Prices? Outrageous but I figured they must be priced this way for quality. MISTAKE. I ordered the scallops (4) as a "starter" for $16. The bok choy was overcooked and also undercooked at the same time. I have no idea how that's possible. We also ordered the pastrami. It was not tender at all and extremely over salted. The grits from the catfish and grits were not seasoned or mixed enough to not be clumpy. We also requested for it to be packaged separately and it was not so we had to request for it to be made again. Sad to say that the best food item that we ordered was the cornbread. Extremely disappointed with the experience. read more

We wanted to try Fletcher's so ordered a brisket sandwich for pickup yesterday evening. Was great! Great flavor and good tender meat. I'm usually picky with it, but the Coleslaw on the side was also great, crisp and fresh. Looking forward to stopping back in next weekend. read more

Just ate here. This place was absolutely horrible. First of all the food was horrible. Brisket was too dry to digest, pulled pork had the consistency of mashed potatoes, collard greens were bland with weird vegetables in it, and put smoked beans were just bad. The said on the beans was so thin it would even stick to the beans. and they were undercooked. Then to top it off as we were leaving, after paying full price and tipping well, we overheard our server complaining to another server about their guest saying "At least they aren't black people". Which my blest friend that I was there with IS. We could not believe this level unprofessionalism and flat out racism. I would not recommend EVER going to this place. Bad food and racist staff. STAY AWAY!!!! read more
