We had a phenomenal night of drinks, food, and legendary musicians at The Bull Run, Shirley, MA…read more(Apr 2026)! Their huge 275-seat event space was packed at tables for 4 to 8, for the two 1-hour sets of Live Dead & Brothers Band, an Allman Brothers - Grateful Dead group of legacy musicians from those bands and families!!! An authentic rockin' performance! They opened hot, with Feelin' Alright and Truckin', and ended hot with Midnight Rider, Ramblin' Man, and Jessica, with around 14 more between. The acoustics were excellent at our table, and we also took up our share of the crowded dance area :-) Their tour continues at least through Dec 2026. Our tickets were about $50 each. Service was fast and friendly, and they let us pull up one more chair for our group of nine. You can get crafted beers and cocktails. We settled in with ice cold regional beers, which honestly are just as distinctive as fancy craft beers. We got some food to share off their "concert menu", too. An entrée-size dish of rich creamy homemade Mac & Cheese, made with tasty aged Grafton Cheddar, soft slightly-al-dente curly Cavatappi pasta tubes, not-overcooked green beans, as i recall, crisply crusted with lightly-maple breadcrumbs. Very flavorful and satisfying. A sweet fresh bright Autumn Salad of greens, pecans, and bright beets, in tart vinaigrette. And juicy "Bull Run Classic" burgers with crisp lettuce, tasty firm tomato, mildly-sharp red onion, and, for one of them, an add-on of rich cheddar, all on a cloud-like brioche bun. They do ask for $20 per person food/beverage minimum for all shows, essentially an entree or a couple beverages each. That's about what we had planned to order anyway :-) This place knocked us out with their dedication to farm-to-table ingredients, sourced from more than 25 regional farms named on the dinner menu. We've never seem such an extensive list of the actual sources. Very cool! The Bull Run has been a tavern since 1741, named after the Battle of Bull Run in 1861, (or in another version, named for a brawl in the tavern at the same time :-), and has been run by the Guercios extended-family since 1946. It was a stop on the stagecoach route and a gathering place for the Revolutionary war. We loved the original wood, structure, and décor. The fireplaces were lovely. It's a huge venue. Bull Run has live music every week, and they're open Wed-Sun, but watch their schedule because dates vary, sometimes one day that week, sometimes all four! This show was in their 275-seat room. There's at least one larger room for around 400. Theres a little parking along Rt 2A, and much more out back across the covered bridge. Dont be put off by the rustic exterior. We loved this legendary performance at a legendary restaurant!

My youngest daughter was disappointed that they didn't have French fries, but our waitress was incredibly kind and suggested a side of fresh berries instead, which completely saved the day. That small gesture really stood out and showed great customer service. I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan Panini, and my wife had the Korean Chicken. Both were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The kids had the mac and cheese and a grilled cheese, both served with homemade chips, which they enjoyed. The food took a little while to come out, but everything arrived hot, fresh, and at the same time, so it was well worth the wait. This was just a quick stop during a road trip, but it exceeded our expectations. If we're ever back in the area, we'll definitely make a point to stop at Logan's Table again!

My review is no reflection on the atmosphere or waitstaff... strictly the food. Our appetizers were pretty good... calamari and escargot... nothing special, but, acceptable. After that.. things went way downhill. Two of us, ordered the veal parm. It was served on a piping hot plate, however, I can assure you, this was not made to order. The veal cutlet was clearly cooked hours before as it was barely lukewarm warm in Temperature and the breading was not one bit, crispy. It was soggy. Not made to order! It was served over a bed of "angel hair." The angel hair was cut up in multiple small pieces... the way you would serve it to a baby experiencing pasta for the first time. I asked our waitress "why is the pasta all cut up like this?" She responded: "I don't know." Not only was it cut up into pieces...(who does that? ) it was also soggy and way overcooked. The meal was a huge disappointment. My other dining companion ordered the fried pork chop which was a special. It wasn't too bad... he reported it was tender... it came with mash and a side of corn that looked like it came straight out of a can of Delmonte. No frills there. It was clearly canned corn. My sister got the cavatappi pasta that came with shrimp ; cannellini beans and a veg mixed in and it was swimming in a sub-par sauce that was lacking in any seasoning. All the entrees lacked basic seasoning. I want to go to a restaurant where my dish is made to order. Hot and crispy cutlets; Al Dente pasta; corn that's not poured out of a tin can and entrees that are served hot! This place has gone way downhill. I was there several years ago my experience was very different. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant and it certainly wasn't worth the $300 dollars (including tip) that we paid. Entrees were 30 + dollars each! What a joke to be charging those prices for the sub-standard food we were served. We will never go back. On a Positive note, my sister was given a lovely birthday dessert plate of sticky toffee pudding and ice cream.

Today I woke up earlier than usual and I didn't feel like waiting for my usual lunch places to open up and I searched around and found this place. The Savory Skillet is a great name that makes me think I'm about to eat something delicious. Located on Summer St, Fitchburg and basically across the street from the TD Bank, this place is very easy to get to regardless of the time of day and and it has a very spacious parking lot surrounding the building. From quickly checking Satellite view, there's a generous ~30 spots to choose from. Fantastic! Upon entering, you get the usual cozy, very busy vibe of a breakfast diner. Dozens of voices overlapping one another and waitresses power walking everywhere trying to keep up with orders. This is why wife's first time in an American breakfast diner too, so it was cool to see her reaction. Staff were quick and polite and they checked up on us when we were about halfway through the meal. Perfect. I hate it when waitresses ask when I've hardly taken two bites. I'll be honest, the biggest draw for me to this location was that Yelp had a very pitiful variety of food pictures. I want to change that. Eggs Cortec ; under the Benedict Specials section ; Full Plate size ; subbed the home fries for hash browns ; Oh my lord, everything was cooked to PERFECTION. Eggs were jammy, the English muffins were delicately crispy, the sausage was not dry, and the hash browns were awesome and crunchy. The hollandaise was delicious as well and I devoured by my plate. 10/10. Holy Cannoli ; under the Belgian Waffles section ; this one was a winner too. The waffle was crispy and the inside was still fluffy. The whipped cream over the Italian cream was a really good combination that wasn't overly sweet. Wifey has a small appetite so we both ate half of it and enjoyed this a lot! I might need to reconsider my stance on getting breakfast. I left this place with a full stomach and EXTREMELY satisfied.

The interior is very sparse and clearly modeled for most takeout; there are literally only 4 tables inside; 2 meant for couples and 2 meant for groups of four. None of the decoration stands out but it's clean and that's really all you should want when you spend your hard-earned cash. I've eaten here several times and this place never misses. The crunch on this chicken is out of this world and somehow it stays very delicate and ultra crispy. The meat inside is perfectly cooked and juicy. Even the dang popcorn chicken is juicy perfection. This isn't KFC - the meat and batter are not heavily seasoned and if you're expecting more you better pay 50 cents per sauce cup. I always grab a couple of Yum sauces. Everyone needs to come check this place out - it sets a new benchmark for quality fried chicken. I decided to go pretty crazy with the embedded pictures, but I HAD to show off how crazy crispy the chicken is and how juicy the meat is.

Good ac and bathroom down the long hallway is decent. One person taking orders. 5/5 popcorn chicken one of the best ive had. It was fresh fried so everything is cooked to order. It came out hot and crispy. The breading was solid and retained a lot of flavor. Each chunk of white meat chicken was tender and juicy and full of flavor (definitely marinated before with some tenderizer like yogurt maybe) 4.5 / 5 drumsticks. Like some reviews, super crispy and had to bite a few times before getting to the juicy tender meat in center. Like the popcorn chicken, has good flavor with savory seasonings in the breading and marinated meat. 4.5 / 5 has to do a separate review for the sauce. The sauce is incredible. The Yum Yum sauce is a mix of this tangy mayonnaise garlicky sauce that you sometimes we get on like Halal guys or chicken and rice guys but a slightly tangier flavor. The first small cup of sauce comes free per chicken dish but 50cents for any extra. Well worth it! Have gone twice and will definitely go again.

I had never seen it prepared this way before. While it was tasty, it was quite dry, so I added BBQ sauce to make it easier to eat. The French fries were heavily salted, making them difficult to enjoy. As for the cornbread, it didn't resemble cornbread at all. It had a nice flavor, but it was definitely not what I expected.
