They even offer a discount for First Responders, which makes me love them even more. It's a great place to sit and have a really delicious bite to eat. Go. You won't be disappointed!

A friend told me to try the fresh haddock plate which I had to order a day before. So I walked…read moreinto the restaurant on Friday at 4:25pm (after ordering on Thursday for 430pm) and the owner and another person talked for about 10+ minutes before acknowledging I was even there. This felt very unusual/uncomfortable as not even a quick look toward me to let me know I was seen etc. but even if this was odd, I finally received my haddock plate to go and I have to say I don't think the haddock was fresh as it was a chewy like frozen fish and not flakey like fresh or it was way over cooked. Too bad as I was really looking forward to a fish plate. I give three stars being generous and I'm not trying to ruin the restaurant as i hear the sandwiches are good. I do recommend Fresh Pond Seafood in Arlington ( i know a big difference in location but I visit this place every Tuesday on my way back from Encore and it is excellent, also Kimballs Farms in Westford and Lancaster also have amazing fresh fried haddock and seafood plates! Sorry based on my one-time experience, I can't recommend Sweet and Salty for fried Haddock plates

My friend and I went to Shake n Dog company, not expecting much. However, as soon as we walked into…read morethe store, we were astonished by its beauty and its coziness. After the amazing impression, we decided to take a look at the menu. Once I went to order, the sweetest cashier took my order. The food was served neatly, with such the same retro aesthetic as the restaurant. To be honest, the French fries were a little salty, but they were delicious nonetheless. Also, the lemonades turned out a bit sour, yet we loved them. The sandwiches, the hot dog, everything was tasty and flavorful. And don't let me talk about the coconut shake I had! I haven't had one like that in years. Shakes n Dog Company is indeed an amazing place to grab a bite and hang out with friends and/or family.

Lately, I have been more tuned into the Fitchburg and Leominster food scene and I've noticed that…read morethis place has been pretty buzzy lately. Having been a local my entire life, I guess it's kind of embarrassing that I've never checked this place out. Well, as they say, "better late than never!" This place is located on Water Street and parking is as simple as pulling off the side of the road and finding an open spot. There are no parking lines, of course. Walking up to the food truck, you can tell that this place has been a Fitchburg staple for decades. Upon closer inspection of the signage and windows, you can see some modern flourishes driven by the community. A lot of the signage is clearly AI generated but they add fun flavor and color to the aesthetic without feeling like corporate slop. Next to the food truck is a small canopy area and three wooden tables meant to comfortably seat 4-6 people each. Paul was a delight to talk to and I can tell that he is a kind soul who only wants to help the community. If you're a local, it's worth following Janet's Chili Dogs Fitchburg on Facebook for business updates. Anyway onto the food! Chili Dog ; This was great! The chili was very flavorful and surprised me that there was some heat in there. The wiener was interesting - I've never tried one that was a pale color like this. AI tells me it's an uncured hotdog? If so, then I need more of this because I personally don't like hot dogs due how salty they are and this wiener was perfect. I like that there was care to pour a bit of chili in under the wiener before pouring the rest over it. The bun was not soggy at all either. Moms Sloppy Joes on a Toasted Roll ; I was a little disappointed by how small this portion was. I also felt like it could've been a little more saucy or moist. After all "sloppy" joes makes you imagine a messy sandwich. Anyway the flavor was on point but it really just leaves you wanting so much more. Spicy Fries (small) ; I had to double-check this. The fries are super super super lightly seasoned. I'm not even sure if I captured it in my picture. Maybe I'm expecting too much since I had 5 Guys literally a couple of days ago, but this gave me a "are you kidding me?" gut reaction. Well, they're fries and they were nicely crispy. nothing to write home about. Despite my middling opinion on two of the three items, I have to remind myself that I just purchased three menu items and paid less than $14 total. That's a really good price, and because of that I think I should really adjust my expectations. Next time? I'm ordering TWO sloppy joes. The Fitchburger and Leomonster look like fun choices too.

The bottom line …read more.. Positives: The atmosphere here is great-ish ... It feels like a roadhouse where you can get some relief from a hot day while coming in and having a few beers with friends. Good music on the playlist. Negatives: The food is, at best, average ... despite shockingly high prices, even in the hyper inflationary 2020's. You'll notice in the parking lot ... Lots of jacked up pick-up trucks, classic muscle cars, etc. The crowd here is as you'd expect for the border of NH and blue collar MA. The best way to describe the average clientele would be hard drinking, loud laughing 'Live Free or Die Massholes'. Upon entering, this place felt like a classic roadhouse ... dark and cave-like in places but with a large row of windows letting the sun flood into that particular area. It felt a little like a Texas desert Roadhouse in a shabby chic kind of way. The bar area is where I sat and right away, I was hot with the foul and pungent odor of years worth of spilled beer. You know that sour 'vinegar' smell that one would expect from a fraternity house carpet? It's here ... and it's bad. As John Taffer or Gordon Ramsay would scream ... This place needs a good cleaning! The beers here are $7 - $12 each, depending on what you get. They have some Michelob Light-esque draft specials. You are given the choice of 16 or 22 oz. beers and the glasses are chilled. Props for that. The bartender was a little frosty. He seemed more cordial to regulars ... but he was kind of short and matter of fact with me, at one point losing patience as I debated the menu and walked away mid-order without saying anything, only to return a few minutes later. The television situation was odd. The World Cup was on ... Every bar in the US was showing the games. Every television above the bar was broadcasting Keno numbers. Only one television, which was mounted on a side wall broadcasted the soccer game and to see it, everyone had to turn their head and look at a spot 6 inches above the bar top, so you were essentially staring right into the eyes of the people sitting next to you. Creepy. The food here was unfortunate. I think of places like Franklin BBQ in Texas and using 'Texas BBQ' to describe this place, after trying the food, is akin to the most egregious online dating exaggeration ever made. Imagine seeing a photo of a modelesque, jacked person with a full head of hair online ... and the person who showed up was a paunchy, middle-aged balding dude using pictures from 20 years ago. That's how expecting Texas BBQ ends up vs. what you actually get. There's nothing wrong with the food. It's edible ... which is more than some BBQ places can claim. However* it's all dry AF, probably smoked overnight ... taken out in the early morning ... and your brisket or pulled pork has been sitting for 6 - 8 hours under a heat lamp. The sides are made quickly ... the $7 Mac and cheese was basically spiral pasta with a white cheese sauce poured over it. Edible but I'd rather get freshly made Kraft Mac and Cheese. The $7 loaded tots ... a small cup of tater tots with a similar white cheese sauce drizzled over them and a couple of bacon bits on top. The $20 pulled pork was dry ... some big pieces, some chopped pieces. Based on other reviews I decided to avoid the more expensive brisket, which was probably a good move, given the dry pulled pork. I tasted (or smelled in the parking lot) no smokiness. As someone who lived in the South and often ate real BBQ ... You know it when you get the authentic stuff because you burp up smokey taste for the better part of the night after eating true roadside BBQ. This was more like Trader Joe's reheated BBQ. Food and restaurant costs are rising so fast these days, I have absolutely no idea what is normal and what is high. Based on other interactions with menus ... I believe these to be on the high side. $20 for a burger ... $20 - $30 for a single BBQ meat ... $15 - $25 for a BBQ sandwich ... $6 - $7 for a side. I had the pulled pork single meat, which came with two sides and a beer. My total, before tip, was $35. The bartender got a 20% tip, because that's my minimum. But he deserved maybe 10%. Beyond the somewhat dickish attitude ....he didn't ask or bring me any BBQ sauce (a necessity for the dry, bland meat) or Ketchup.. I had to walk over to a table and get some. He never checked in to see how my food was. No small talk ... no 'Can I get you anything else?'. Tipping culture in the US sucks because if you leave any less than 20% for bad service, you get chased into the parking lot. So that's my review in a nutshell. Would I return? Probably not ... unless I was meeting friends for beers. The food value just wasn't there for me. There seemed to be a lot of regulars, so it can't be all bad (although majority of other 3-star reviews seem accurate) The bottom line is that this is a better bar than a restaurant. It's cool and feels like a good recreation of a fun roadhouse.
