    Fantastic chicken sandwich, salad, and "just ten more" housemade chips.
    Michael S.

    Wow, how have I not reviewed Grafton Grill? My partner and I love this place. Every sandwich, salad, pasta dish, and appetizer we've had has been great, and the staff is always a pleasure to talk to. The cozy atmosphere is one of the things that brings us back again and again. If I had one bad thing to say it's that parking can be tricky if they're busy. With their limited hours, it can fill up. But I can't really fault them for the size of their lot or for being popular. Just get there early.

    Von Trapp and a Pomegranate Pineapple Margarita

    I am always looking for hidden gems and came upon this one in Grafton. Located on a small side street, cut through, this place was a great find. Not very big, so reservations are recommended but not needed. As you walk in there is a U shaped bar with some high tops. They have a good selection of locals beers and many others on bottles. Their mixed drink selections had some really cool combinations and my wife loved her margaritas. A good size menu with nightly specials. We started with the crispy shrimp. They were on a bed of tasty coleslaw. Five decent sized shrimp cooked perfectly and a spicy dipping sauce. Wife then went with the "special" pizza of the night. A good size thin crust pizza with plenty of chicken, hot peppers and a creamy sauce. I went with the grilled cheese short rib sandwich. It was packed with short rib and toasted nicely. It came on a huge pile of fries that were obviously hand cut. If they hadn't charged us extra for a small cup of Ranch dressing for my wife, they would have been 5 stars. Either way this is a definite stop

    Side salad

    Very chic decor, minimalist, but so so cold. The food was pricey but very good so I was ok although we only got a burger and the panko chicken sandwich. Both had great flavor and the homemade dressings were good. Service was decent enough. The sour dill pickles were great, though.

    Cesar salad

    The service is beyond unacceptable. The waitress walked past us more times than I can count and did not acknowledge us at all. The food is fantastic but the service is not.

    Korean meatballs

    Came in a few weeks ago and had a great time. The place was clean and the service was great. We got the Korean meatballs and they were excellent - though not entirely Korean, but I'll let it pass. Our sandwiches and dessert were delicious! The ice cream cake is something different altogether - it's like an ice cream pie and it's so unique. Really tasty! Good beer selection too.

    We love the Grafton Grill & Crust! Menu has something for everyone. The prices are reasonable, drinks are delicious, service is great. We always start with the mussels which are amazing! Pizzas are delicious and definitely big enough to split between two. The other night we ended with the homemade ice cream pie which was freaking awesome! Can't wait to go back.

    Had fish tacos, the fish was overcooked and very bland. First time coming here, very disappointed. The waitress was great!

    I cant believe that I am actually writing a review for Ground Round. The last time that I was in…read moreone, Yelp didn't exist. So, when a good friend called and told me that there was a new one that opened in Shrewsbury, it was off to the races. I had to experience this. Service: We got seated nearly instantaneously when we got in the door and the place was already quite busy by the time that we got there. My friend got a salad of some sort with a sandwich and I got one of their signature burgers. The waitress appeared in a timely fashion, took the orders, had drinks on the table in no time, and was very attentive to any and all needs. Ambiance: It was on a Saturday during sports season, so there was a lot of noise and chaos going on, but that is always how I remembered the Ground Round. It is NOT a restaurant that you are going to read a good book in. The fact that this restaurant also had high cathedral ceilings which increased the acoustics, made it a little more unbearable for people who like quieter spots. But to me and my friend, it was not a dealbreaker. Food: After all, what were we doing there for anyways, but the food? It was very good. She enjoyed her dish, and my burger was actually one of those "skyscraper" burgers that are impossible to grip with two hands or get into your mouth for a bite. After dining at the Ground Round again, I am moderately confident that I could take a bite out of the Prudential Center if the need arose. Don't get me wrong, the burger was tasty, juicy, and done to perfection, but it was yuuuuge. Overall, if I could give the Ground Round a 1/2 a star I would make my rating of them a 4 and a 1/2 stars venue. I will definitely be back and look forward to meeting my friend there again for lunch. :) -S

    First timer visit to Ground Round in Shrewsbury. I got to say it didn't live up to my expectations…read more It was a recent Thursday evening; I walked in at 8pm and immediately had a bad feeling. First, the place was DEAD, aside from several patrons in the bar area; about the same in the dining room. I noticed the lighting was off, way off; it's like the kind hazy fluorescent lighting that gives you a migraine. Second, the music playing was barely audible; I would expect to hear really good nostalgic music from the 70s & 80s (you know what would make this place fun??? A JUKEBOX!!!). I ordered the Ground Rounder and was disappointed; I don't like cheese and it came with cheese; I wish the server asked if I wanted cheese; I know, I know, the description on the menu says it comes with cheese; my bad BUT I don't like cheese on my burger. I wish it came on a sesame bun or bulky roll; the pretzel roll just sucks IMHO. Also, please remember the old time Ground Rounder came with Steak Fries back in the day; today, this one comes with grease-sticks -- stubby reconstituted dehydrated potatoes formed to resemble French fries which wick the grease from the Fryolator, UGH! For the burger, I prefer lettuce, tomato and onion over cheese and bacon any day of the week. The service was good, which is the only reason I gave my review 2 stars. Overall, a disappointment, but with some tweaks it might have a chance. As is, it's not going to be around very long. Please please please rectify the suggestions outlined above and I'll reconsider coming back. I'm sorry, but until then I can't recommend to my friends.

Big,…read moreclean, modern facility with indoor and outdoor seating. -- Patty Melt: Surprisingly willing and able to serve one medium rare, and with the requisite griddled bread. Impressive contrast between the patty's crusted exterior and still-juicy interior. Arguably overdone on the outside, but I'll take that all day every day as long as the juiciness is there. Moderate amount of butter on the Texas toast standing in for rye. Somewhat-traditional condiments, but with a few liberties taken (caramelized onion, cheddar jack, bacon). Not elite, but solid enough job and probably among the better patty melts I've had on my recent quest. -- CH Cheeseburger: Tried twice, this wasn't just a good cheeseburger for the 'burbs or a good cheeseburger for a brewery. This is a good cheeseburger, period, and a very good one. The first thing I really like about it is that it's a thick, full-size patty, and not the overexposed smashburger that's made the thick ones nearly extinct. The second is that they understand and deliver on the concept of textural contrast: crusty exterior and pink, very juicy interior. They also season it just enough to notice, butter that griddled bun just enough to notice, and don't screw up the vegetable additions. The cheese is there but unremarkable. The bun is soft and flexible. Overall, one of the best burgers in MetroWest and Worcester. -- Fries: The frozen variety, neither great nor horrific. They got the job done. -- Beer: I like their offerings, led by their flagship Juice Freak, served properly in attractive glassware. I have other breweries with beers I love, but none of them has a burger I love, and I'm already falling in love with this one. Service was excellent every time, once at a table and twice at the bar. Note: If you use Siri to get directions here by name rather than address, she'll tell you that they've closed, but that's because they moved recently. They're open.
