    Our very very fresh fruit bowl!
    Robin F.

    We read the poor reviews prior to stopping in to JR's and concluded that maybe this place was "hit or miss." We kept our expectations low but soon realized that low expectations were completely unnecessary. The diner was quiet and we were immediately greeted by a friendly waiter and an adorable "junior waitress" that couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 years old. The restaurant is very clean and we seated ourselves at a window side table. We visited on a Sunday around noon and had our choice of breakfast or lunch (they're open until 2). The menu is large and the food is what you'd expect at a diner - simple and "comfy." Everything we ordered was homemade and absolutely made to order. The fruit bowl was filled with pieces of apple, kiwi, melon, grapes, strawberries and banana and had clearly been made just seconds before being brought to our table. My husband's egg whites were light and fluffy. Toast was perfectly brown and not over buttered. We both ordered shredded hash browns that were homemade and delicious. Even something as basic as my hot tea (a Lipton tea bag) was brought out in a mini tea pot which is, in my opinion, so much nicer than just a mug :) We were so impressed with the food that we chatted with the owner for a few minutes. She clearly takes a lot of pride in making sure that everything is fresh and homemade. She had just finished making a pot of vegetable rice soup and brought out a small dish for us to sample. It was so delicious, we ordered some to go. We live on the north shore but will definitely be sure to stop by again for a bite the next time we are in the area.

    Pastel with chicken cheese and corn. Deliciousness

    Food was ok. The place didn't seem very clean. Like another reviewer, I too had diarrhea after eating here.

    Small but cozy eatery/drinkery in a residential neighborhood. No parking near the building, but…read morethere's an easy lot just around the corner. Lots of knock knacks on the walls, many related to beer and trains. Deep menu of comfort food made from scratch. Good draft beer list. -- Depot Burger: Their more ambitious of two regular menu burgers (they also have some as specials) was a visual treat in a pillowy Portuguese muffin. This provided a full size patty cooked to medium rare with juices trickling from the gentle, loosely packed beef. Full-coverage Vermont cheddar added silky richness, red onion jam added contrast, and tomato and arugula added vegetation. The star, at least visually, was the bacon: crisp, yet soft and bendable, with glorious color. Flavor was even better, with a deliciously strong cure. The whole package worked beautifully. One of the better burgers I've had this year for sure. -- Fries (a $2 add-on to the burger): A big stack, hand-cut (they also have hand-cut sweet potato fries), cooked just to the point of crispness while leaving a little droop and fluff. Nicely seasoned. -- Beer: I was thrilled to see a Hill Farmstead Double Nelson on the tap list. Smooth, strong, and delicious. -- Buffalo Wings: Looked and felt a little different, so I asked. Baked, then fried, yielding some charred crust on the outside and some tenderness within. Good wings, but with great sauces: the homemade Buffalo sauce had some serious kick, some complexity (little bits of unknown herbs), and some vinegar too. Homemade blue cheese thick and zesty. On Mondays, $1 each in batches of 6 or more, and with a guest flavor on top of their interesting fleet (ginger is next). -- Quahog: A well-rounded stuffed pile with bits of chorizo crispily mixed in, served with lemon wedge. It needed it for moisture, but a formidable offering that still satisfied. -- Caesar Salad: A large one with two well-layered hunks of Romaine, with a zippy (maybe mustard-infused) dressing and a dense coverage of crispy pancetta. Numerous homemade, dice-sized, well-seasoned croutons. No additional Parm and no anchovy pieces I could detect on their, but that dressing didn't let me down. A different kind of Caesar, but a very enjoyable one. -- Steak Tips: Had as an add-on to the salad, this provided a taste without committing to a full order. These don't make my steak tips pantheon (Champions, Tuckaway Tavern, New Bridge Cafe), but decent. Cooked a bit past the medium rare but still somewhat juicy. Nice flavor too, but subtle. I wouldn't get these again; too many better things on the menu. Service at the bar was cordial and attentive on both visits. Friendly staff all around. Not everything was perfect, but so much of it was (and no duds) that it's impossible not to drop a 5 based on the overall quality of every aspect.

    It's been a while since I've been here but it still has a great vibe, friendly service, delicious…read morefood. It's still worth the wait even on a Saturday at 2PM! Love, love the truffle fries. My eggplant ciabatta was so yummy. Upcharge for side salads but it's worth it. Daily specials are a great add to the usual. It's a great find off the beaten path. Restaurant has a parking lot by the train tracks. Tented area is well heated and doubles the capacity of the place.
