Great find! My dining companion & I loved Specialty Bar & Grill. We were drawn to it on the way…read moreback to RI from an event by the bright red umbrellas on their outdoor patio. Since it was a beautiful day we decided it would be perfect... and hopefully the food would be, too. We were not disappointed. My companion ordered the lamb gyro ($12.99) with a Sangria ($10). I ordered a pork souvlaki ($12.99) with a Pilsner draught ($9). Both sandwiches came with a small bag of Lay's potato chips & a pickle spear. Everything was delicious, and their Tzatziki sauce was the best I've ever had. Service was fast and friendly. Even after we had finished our meal & drinks we were invited to stay as long as we wanted to enjoy the steel drum entertainment. We will definitely return when we're in the area.

Terrible for the price. I went with my girlfriend for dinner. I got a burger, she got a cold cut…read moresandwich, and we got a baked mac and cheese to share. The whole meal was $55. I asked for my burger rare, and it was medium at best. The lettuce was just chopped pieces of salad lettuce thrown on there. The fries were cold and stale. Her sandwich was decent, albeit dry. The worst part was the Mac and cheese. It was so sickeningly greasy that I couldn't eat it. We had to dump most of the grease out because it was in a literal bath. Very disappointing.

Val did it again! As if she and her crew didn't pull off the most extraordinary wedding reception…read morefor us last September (that our wedding date had to come together in such short notice didn't faze her one bit ), this time we placed my 60th birthday celebration into her talented hands, and wow, did she deliver! Although I'm not surprised. (-; It is rare to find such a well-oiled machine in a restaurant that operates with such heart -- you can tell how connected the crew is and that they're having a good time too, which extends to a customer's experience -- with food that is made with such skill and craft, such care and thought and pride. It's so clear that this is Val's passion, and we are most grateful to have learned about her and her place. Val and team, thank you for the unforgettable birthday sendoff you created for me last night. My friends are sending texts of gratitude for such a lovely time; all of it was perfect. The pretty room with fairy lights and garden flowers and purple everywhere; the FOOD, all of it so delicious and clearly made with a great deal of love and skill, and how fun to have our own printed selection menu; those mocktails, brava to their creatrix; the cake setup; and because of the attentiveness, energy, fun and expertise of the serving crew, you all created a lovely experience where the 25 of us could be fully present, take our time, and just get to be ourselves together! I will keep sending folks your way, whether it's for a casual meal or a reception, memorial luncheon, etc. Thank you again.

Val's Restaurant: A Holden Legend ​If you haven't been to…read moreVal's, have you even truly lived in Central Mass? Here is the breakdown: ​The Vibe: It feels like a giant, cozy hug from a grandmother who really wants to make sure you never see your abs ever again. ​The Portions: Val's operates on the "more is more" philosophy. I ordered a "side" of pasta and I'm pretty sure they just brought out the entire kitchen's inventory for the week. ​The Strategy: You don't go to Val's for a "light bite." You go there to commit to a three-day food coma. If you don't leave with at least two heavy paper bags of leftovers that could feed a small village, did you even go? ​The Verdict: 10/10. My belt is screaming, my heart is full of chicken parm, and I'll probably be back next Tuesday.

Upon entry we were…read moregreeted/seated/served by Alex (extremely charming) - he was super friendly and engaging - made our luncheon enjoyable. Thai Iced Tea was great! Our food order (Siam Sampler, Crispy Chicken Pad Thai and Sweet & Sour Lady Fingers) all just FABULOUS! The food came out hot, presentation was nice and the colors were vibrant. Chicken moist and tender, veggies done to perfection, pad thai noodles were not overly sweet but just enough to make you want to continue eating more and more! The Siam Sampler came with 3 sauces that enhanced the flavors (the flavors were on point so the sauces were just a bonus if you like dipping)! We asked if we could put all the food in the middle of the table so we could share everything and it was not a problem at all. The bar was beautiful and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. We were certainly not rushed at all and enjoyed our time at Siam 9! We will definitely be going back and bringing many family members with us - a nice little gem in Holden for Thai food! Have a wonderful vacation ALEX, see you upon your return as we are already deciding the date we will be returning!

I have mixed feelings about my first visit to Quinn's. It is clearly a local favorite. The lot is…read moregenerally packed when I drive by . The inside is dominated by a large central oval bar with tables around the outside perimeter. This is clearly a place to drink. A place I might have migrated to in my 20's. The day I visited they offered fish specials and the place smelled like a fish market. Now I like both cooked fish and sushi, but the smell was a bit too much. I arrived around 11:30 and had the shepard''a pie. It was good, but not particularly memorable. Not sure if I will return, but should I probably give it another chance. My initial impression is that their food offerings were significantly the same as 100's of other bar restaurants.

Met two good friends for dinner here on a Monday night- half a star for being open Mondays!…read moreDrinks looked good. Crispy rolls were indeed crispy, but chicken and vegetable filling was pasty and flavorless. Even the topping g sauce couldn't save them. Pork dumplings (fried) were marginally better. Crispy pork belly entree was crispy as promised- succulent and delicious. But the bok choy accompaniment was unseasoned, and all was served on an ice cold plate. I don't mean it wasn't warmed, I mean it was straight from a fridge or an unheated storage room (it was a very cold night.) Server was friendly, but we had to go hunting for her to get the check. Had a lovely time with friends- would go back to try some other things... maybe on a warmer night.

I've been here a few times, sitting at the bar twice and once out on the patio in the front of the…read morebuilding. All three times were underwhelming, although the last visit we enjoyed the food more than previous times. I'm guessing they do a lot of takeout, because the place was nearly empty every time we stopped in. In the past we have ordered the Korean bbq fries and there wasn't anything special about them. This last visit we ordered gyoza which was crispy and flavorful, and spicy chili garlic edamame which was basically edamame tossed in sriracha. The bartenders have always been young college kids, most of whom were inattentive and needed to be flagged down several times for service. On our last visit we walked into the empty restaurant and were immediately hit in the face with a strong musty smell...I said to my daughter, "What is that SMELL?" and she couldn't find the words to describe it. Maybe something like a wet dishrag that had been balled up and left to get moldy? So unappealing. If you like Keno, maybe you can overlook all of the negatives and immerse yourself in the game. Otherwise, maybe just order take out.

(Also I've spent several hundred dollars in gift cards for them) BUT I want to point out that we were there today for Father's Day breakfast. I understand that you were busy. We came early and were told it would be just a few minutes. When we asked how much longer we were told that they're clearing a table and the waitress looked over towards the table. Then when Sara walked in as a party of five they were seated right away. Then when I said to the waitress I thought you said that you were seating us at that table she said RUDELY I ended up not. Her lack of friendliness was unacceptable. There was no need to be rude. This is not the customer service that we are used from 122 Diner.Thank you for your attention to this matter.
