    Steak sandwich
    Eric M.

    I think what makes Mesa standout from all the other Portuguese places in Fall River is that they are innovative with their menu. Not just your traditional papseco from the bakery with butter but butter and additional options like oil with it into smaller pieces. The Chourico Mozambique rolls were a table favorite! Crispy, not greasy at all! My girlfriend loved the steak sandwich, (and I got the 21 signature steak, not pictured and it was 5/5) my parents both loved their dishes and my dad emphasized he loved the sauce for the octopus plate. The server was kind along with the table busser as well. It's not an old school spot, it's updated and clean. I would probably bring a friend here, and definitely to try that Portuguese steak pizza! Which was definitely popular that night along with all the little neck apps people were raving about.

    French fries were a pile of grease

    Ordered fish and chips. French fries were a pile of grease. Coleslaw was just cabbage. Fish was dry overpriced quality food. Terrible

    The grilled salmon with potatoes and asparagus!
    Kimberly D.

    My husband ordered the seared scallops and I ordered the salmon, both dishes were delicious. We also ordered appetizers, the Mesa rolls with chourico! The rolls were also yummy! The customer service was great! We will be back the next time we are in town!

    I ordered the New Bedford Seared Scallops- Maple glazed scallops with mushroom and asparagus risotto with bacon. The scallops were perfectly seared. The risotto was my favorite part of the meal! There are so many delicious flavors in this dish. The mushroom and asparagus with the bacon, you can taste all the flavors. I would recommend this dish to anyone who likes scallops. The other food there looked really good too. I would go back to try more food!

    Just picked up some pizza. Usually food here is pretty decent- however, this is the most soggy, greasy pizza I have ever eaten. Skip the pizza!

    Beef Tips and Shrimp Mozambique
    Steve B.

    Visiting Fall River and stopped in for Dinner after a recommended by a friend. We asked the server her recommendation and I went with the Bourbon Steak Tips. I added the Shrimp Mozambique along with the standard sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portions seemed very generous and a lot of flavor. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal but it all seemed a bit over cooked. I asked for the steak medium but was closer to well done and I would have liked the asparagus to have some snap. Overall the meal was generous and flavorful and I would enjoy this again

    I have been to Rogers a few times when looking for a quick lunch in the area. The food has always…read morebeen solid. It is sort of like a hotdog place meets a diner. Apparently, the place just changed hands in the past month or two. Inside it looks about the same although the menu has changed somewhat. I can't determine what was added or deleted, but it just strikes me as a different menu. I got two dogs all the way without onion in order of fries and a coffee milk The fries came out and my shoestring, which are not exactly my favorite type of fry, but they were fried well. Apparently, if you ask for fat french fries you'll get the thicker cut ones which I will remember for next time. The hot dogs were well cooked and sauced. The buns seemed fresh. Service was friendly and prompt. The inside was largely the same as I remembered it. I sat at the counter and could view the galley kitchen, which seemed to be very clean. Prices weren't bad. I will likely return.

    What a delightful little gem tucked away in Fall River, MA . Just a stone's throw from Battleship…read moreCove. Stumbled upon this place and discovered it was worth coming back. My initial visit was on a Monday night when they had all kinds of cheese specials for $10. Including a delicious cheese pizza. However on my second trip I discovered the real value was on their Sunday specials where you get a soup or salad, 1/2 portion of lasagna, a choice of chicken entree and a special pasta. All for $29. Needless to say there were doggie bags coming home with us. Dani our server was a sheer delight and most punctual with her attention to us. Needless to say I will be returning for a third visit soon!

    We were here last night with a party of 17 for a birthday celebration. We had a 7:30 reservation…read moreand weren't seated until about 7:45, which wasn't a huge deal. Unfortunately, that's where things started going downhill. It took 30 minutes before anyone even took our drink orders. During that time we weren't offered water, bread, or asked if we had any questions. Drinks, which were just water and soft drinks, took another 15 minutes to arrive. Around 8:45 our server finally came to take our food order and told us the kitchen had asked her to wait before putting it in. By that point, one person in our group had already left to get Wendy's because he was tired of waiting. Once we finally ordered, there were still no drink refills. We asked for waters for the table and were brought five glasses with, "I have five waters, who wants one?" We had 17 people. It was just kind of unbelievable. Our food didn't come out until almost two hours after we arrived. By then everyone was hungry and thirsty. There were two kids in our group, and it would have been nice if their meals had at least come out earlier. Or bring us bread or something to hold us over. We also had to ask for salt and pepper because there wasn't any on the table. They brought one set for all 17 of us. We asked for another and eventually got one more set. I understand large parties can be challenging, but if the restaurant can't handle a reservation that size, it probably shouldn't accept it. The one positive was our server. She was very nice and seemed to be doing the best she could. I really wish I could say the food made up for the wait, but it was just average. Nothing was bad, but nothing was memorable either. Overall, it was a really disappointing experience.

If you like thick clam chowder, this is it. For meals we opted to split the honey, hot chicken sandwich and a buffalo chicken pizza. Not gonna lie, the bowl of chowder was pretty big, and I was pretty full by the time I was done with it. The honey hot chicken sandwich is more like a honey mustard chicken. It was still pretty good, but if you are expecting hot honey, this is not it. I opted to have the blue cheese on the side with the pizza, because my husband doesn't like blue cheese. The buffalo chicken pizza was actually really delicious. It was like a bar pizza that you would get from the south shore. You really can't find this pizza in Rhode Island or in Southern MA, so this was a great find. Staff were friendly and attentive. I didn't get any alcoholic drinks cause it was pretty early and not much of a day drinker, but it had a really good vibe and I'm sure it's a lot of fun at night. The drink menu looked really good so I'll likely come back for drinks and apps. There's a cute outdoor seating area. It was pretty hot so we sat inside, but I'm sure this is a great place to sit at night time once the sun goes down and it cools off.

    AMAZING brunch! This was my first time trying the Shrimp Rangoon's which were absolutely delicious…read more The poutine is always my favorite. Everything is so favorable and the portion sizes are great! The only negative is I found the mimosas to be very pricey. Wouldn't order those again, but otherwise everything was delicious and service is always great!

    We stopped in during Appy Hour for some appetizers and cocktails, which is our go to at Waterdog…read more They have a great app selection and it rarely disappoints. We ordered the mini stuffies, the hummus plate, and the fried pickles. The mini stuffies were a highlight. Loaded with Mello's chouriço and packed with flavor, they're a solid little bite. My grandfather set the bar pretty high for me on stuffies, and these came close. They have a different profile than what I grew up with; a little less bready, more chouriço forward, and the clam flavor takes a back seat. Not necessarily a complaint, they were just different from what I'm used to and were genuinely tasty. The lemon aioli on top was also a nice touch. The fried pickles were exactly what you want them to be. Crispy, well fried, and the breading actually stayed put while you ate them, which is more than I can say for a lot of fried pickles. They came with the same lemon aioli as the stuffies, which worked just as well here. The hummus plate was a bit of a letdown. We've had it many times before and it used to be a standout. This time the hummus itself was thick and pretty flavorless, more like a dense chickpea paste than anything else. The accompaniments were nice though and consisted of heirloom carrots, cucumbers, olives, cherry tomatoes, asparagus, pickled cauliflower, carrot, and a pepperoncini, all served alongside some buttery round crackers that were like a Ritz cracker's more refined cousin. The veggies saved the plate, but the hummus needs to find its way back. I suppose it could have just been an off batch and won't prevent us from trying it again. Cocktails were great, as usual. I had the Anana with scotch. I love pineapple and this has muddled pineapple and basil, pineapple juice, cracked black pepper. It's my go-to here and it delivered again. My partner went adventurous and ordered the Jungle Booby, which is built around tequila blanco and mezcal with campari, pineapple, grapefruit, lime, orgeat, and an absinthe spritz. The flavors were genuinely good, but the smokiness from the mezcal was a bit much for her taste. She followed it up with a glass of rosé and had no complaints after that. The cocktail wasn't the problem, it just wasn't her style. One of our favorite spots in Warren for a quick nibble, for a good reason.
