First time visit. Don't be fooled by the counter service element. You carry your drinks to your seats but your food is delivered to your table. And this food is worth the wait! Everything we ordered was delicious! And sitting outside by the expansive greens and fairways while listening to live music and watching the sunset can't be beaten! read more

Hemlock Grill - Burgers Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I ate here such a long time ago after a round of golf and so annoyed that I haven't been back until today. Their food is outstanding. We got two breakfast sandwiches today and they were literally some of the best we've ever had. I live so close by and planning to hit up soon for their delicious-looking lunch offerings. It's really cozy inside and the interior design is really welcoming. Chef was super friendly too. All in all, I'd give it way more than 5 stars if I could. Very, very high quality, delicious food. read more

Came as a guest...not certain how one finds this place, but a place it IS! Group of us left an event at the park up the street a friend recommended a stop here...some how we landed in the parking lot across the drive and wandered into what felt like a large closet. YES, we serve food and a wide variety for the casual counter we're standing in front of. This appears to be a golf club food shack. Clearly, this venue is not run by the club; but, by restauranteurs who know the drill. Reading the reviews...seemed fair except their low hype and big delivery charmed us to returning and returning. Hemlock offers the best of all seasons...Food...Decks for the Summer afternoons and cozy fall vibe inside to drink the winters away...to get back on those decks. read more

The reviews are right. Come here if you're craving perfectly executed, light batter, skinless/boneless fried chicken. Sauces are on point. Nice guy at the cash register. Casual place to get lunch with friends or family, order at the counter and gotta bus your own plates. read more

Hemlock Grill - Fried chicken - Burgers Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

To be completely honest, I saw the reviews and was extremely suspicious. I thought that maybe it was being paid for, or that it was a case of too few reviews. I am glad that I was wrong. The chicken. Wow. For the price, you get 4 large pieces of boneless fried chicken with some of the crunchiest skin I've ever had and the softest and juiciest pieces of chicken. The seasoning, oh my god. It's so good. It will say that it was a little salty, but that may be because I ate what could have been a meal for two people and I was dehydrated (oops). The fries were delicious, and the house-made ranch was great too. It seems that they have some other sauces as well, which I wish I tried. Anyhow the reviews are right, get the chicken!! You can sit on the patio outside and watch golfers, or you can sit inside, but sitting outside was a great view. Just order at the counter in the building, take your number, then sit wherever you want. I could smell the meat being smoked and see the smoke wafting from the side. That alone makes me eager to come back. If the chicken was that good, then goddamn the smoked meat must be amazing (and it was all a great price!) They have tap water as well if you're cheap like me lmao just ask read more

Delish! I got the pulled pork which was so good that it didn't even need the sauces. That said, both sauces were out of this world. Can't wait to come back to try the brisket and the ribs "from the smoker." Super tasty homemade pickled vegetables too. My spouse got the cheeseburger. It was well seasoned, but the barbecue stole the show. Wonderful wood burning fireplace, perfect for a rainy day. Finish your meal with an adult hot chocolate option. read more

Hemlock Grill - Pulled pork--already ate some! - Burgers Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I've been stopping there for breakfast and lunch sandwiches recently and everything has been great. They make the best bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches on a bun. All prepared fresh. Their brisket of beef sandwich is to die for... you will never regret coming here. Great food and service and ambience. If it's a nice day sit outside and enjoy the view of the golf course and surrounding forest. Lots of convenient parking. Prompt friendly service. Definitely a hidden gem. read more

Very overpriced and low quality meat, they smother everything in sauce so you can't tell how crappy their meat is. I don't like barbecue sauce so I ordered a brisket sandwich without sauce like I do at many other bbq places, it was a 4/10. Two sandwiches, 2 high noons/white claws, and 1 IPA was a little over $70, ridiculous. I wouldn't go out of my way to say anything about it if it was more reasonably priced. read more

Dragged a coworker friend, who had been cooped up too long, out the for lunch at Hemlock and it was the perfect answer to his isolation and foodie cravings. The menu is a perfect little journey through the South, the service and eating on the patio at "Putterham" has always been a fave of mine. Chef is highly rated and food is delicious. A perfectly quiet midweek spot for some tasty treats. read more

Hemlock Grill - View of the 18th green and practice area from the patio at Hemlock. - Burgers Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

Lots of outdoor seating so you can view the rolling Green hills while you eat. Indoors there's a big screen TV. It's a little loud to have a conversation inside. It's an order at the counter and they bring it to you deal. Prices were reasonable. I went because I read the hype about this being a great fried chicken place. My friend enjoyed the spicy chicken sandwich. I wasn't thrilled with the fried chicken plate. The 3 pieces were unidentifiable as chicken parts. I think pretending it's chicken is mostly an excuse to eat lots of crispy batter. It's great batter if that's what you're after. Generous portion of well made fries. Canned options of beer and hard seltzer, lemonade, yerba mate, and coconut water. I would come back if I happened to be playing golf there. read more

Once a month the Hemlock Grill does a ticketed dinner. It was a really great experience, the chef takes full creative control for a tasting menu. I thought the key lime pie was outstanding and a highlight of the meal. I also hear they have an outstanding chicken sandwich that I will have to try on my next visit. read more

They season the food properly and thoroughly here and it's really quite nice. So far the cubano, brisket, fried and grilled chicken sandwiches have all been winners. The potato salad is also sneaky good. read more

Friendly staff. Good atmosphere however the food kinda didn't live up to the hype it gets on here.

Stopped in for what is being described as a "hidden gem"...and they were right. Fantastic fried chicken. Great quality, portions, and flavor. Topping it off was phenomenal customer service that rare now a days. Will def be back. read more

Hemlock Grill - Cozy wood burning fireplace and dark wood gives it a warm vibe. - Burgers Near Me - Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts

I came here for the second time in a week. First on a weekday for a chicken sandwich and second on a Saturday for a brisket sandwich. Both times during late lunch, it was not very full. But I was full! The chicken sandwich is delicious, crispy, juicy and a very good size. The smoked brisket sandwich was amazing also. I got 36 slices of brisket piled onto a roll. Smoky, juicy, slightly fatty pieces of brisket, complemented perfectly with sweet pickles, and, yellow barbecue sauce. I even saw one of the crew pulling the brisket out of the smoker to make slices. Both times I had a draft trillium while sitting outside. Particularly in the fall the ambiance was perfect, with a couple colorful trees overlooking the golf course and familiar tunes playing over the speaker. This is now a favorite place of mine. read more

Not just the best fried chicken sandwich I've ever had, but one that raised the ceiling of how good I thought it was possible for a fried chicken sandwich to be. This restaurant will eventually become famous. You have a limited time to eat here before that happens. read more

Fried chicken with the in house made Peruvian green sauce was outstanding, it has that amazing tenderness and crunch, as was the special sandwich of the day. Pork belly, broccoli rabe, spicy aioli, house sliced and spiced potato chips for the side. Go eat here. You're welcome in advance. read more

This is a treasure in hiding. The restaurant lacks exterior lighting but is worth plugging into map and showing up! Excellent fried chicken, delicious pulled pork plate with fantastic potato salad and other sides in huge portion. They also give you a pile of pickled veggies. We sat by the big fireplace and watched golf on the tele. Comforting, delicious, low hype but big charm. read more
