We held my Dad's 90th Birthday Party in the North Room in N. Chelmsford. The total experience was excellent from beginning to end. The room has big windows, high ceilings, skylights, updated lighting, beautiful exposed brick and a big bar. The wait staff had a can-do attitude and worked hard to ensure our guests were satisfied. The food was served on time. It was hot and delicious. Everyone raved about it. And the prices were so reasonable! One of the owners Ron , ensured everything was set up properly and we had everything we needed. He was amazing to work with. We highly recommend the Establishment Restaurant and will be back again for our next event. Sharon and 3 Sisters read more

Massive. Televised. Mediocre. The Establishment is the restaurant equivalent of those trucks you see with the double wide back tires that stick out a mile, but only support a cargo bed the size of a twin mattress - "hey my truck needs two parking spots, but I can only haul a shitzu in the back?" The restaurant equivalent of this is the 5 page ultra laminated menu that weighs 50lbs, but only really consists of the four horsemen of the culinary apocalypse: pizza, pasta, burgers, and salads. Want soup? Sorry, "that'll be chili or chowda for you pal!" Service is equally prompt and polite on first blush, but can sometimes leave you forgotten if you're on the far end of the massive dining area and waitstaff forgot their telescope they use to see you across the massive expanse of TVs and booths. Ambiance can be nice, given the feeling of eating in a greenhouse with the glass atrium style of the building. It's equally a great place to catch a game since there's literally a different TV mounted on every open wall or booth space anyone could find. My advice? Don't expect too much on the food front, stick to game nights in bar area, and don't bring anyone here thinking you're going to impress them, that's not what The Establishment is here to offer. read more

Haven't been to this establishment since they were called the Princeton many years ago. This is a casual bar. The food is good. The service was very good. The bar is incredible. Definitely a sports bar. Many televisions with a variety of games playing. Cocktail menu was good and they have a decent beer selection. read more

I have enjoyed a few meals here, good food at a decent price. Service was good in the atmosphere lively I was there on a Friday and a Saturday and it was an enjoyable experience. read more

The drinks are overpriced and they are terrible the service seems to be good and people are friendly but the food is inconsistent I knew the original owner for the pizza and the pizza is different every time I get it actually the place sucks I don't think I'll go there again read more

Food is good, TVs are everywhere. Plenty of room. Good bar. You're here for fun and friends. The food is reliable, I like that you can get grilled chicken with buffalo sauce on a salad. I've been here quite a bit in the past few years and I have a nephew and niece who work here. Our server tonight was always around when we needed her and very good. Never had a bad experience here read more

This was my 3rd time eating here. We ordered a pizza, sweet potato fries and a salad. The pizza was brought out, but accidentally made incorrectly. A new pizza was brought out within minutes and the manager took it off the bill. AMAZING SERVICE AND FOOD. I REALLY appreciate the quick correction and attentiveness to their customers. We will DEFINITELY be back! THANK YOU!!!!! read more

We held our wedding reception at The Establishment Chelmsford in the North and West rooms. For 125 people it was perfect. Beautiful space with exposed brick and natural light from the skylights. The staff made our night flow seamlessly and were standout in their professionalism and upbeat enthusiasm. Our buffet selection exceeded expectations. We chose the Salmon Florentine, Marinated Steak Tips, and Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese. I would recommend The Establishment for functions both big and small! read more

Food is good. Can get a little loud. Love the keno. Service is great. I would recommend it.

I ordered delivery from uber eats. Sometimes I do if I'm home late. Normally the steak tips are good but damn these things are still mooing. I ordered medium rare, do these look medium rare? They weren't like this the last 4 times. 3 stars because every other experience has been good, not sure what happened. read more

The Establishment - House Steak Tips - Pizza Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

My daughter goes to school at UMass Lowell. We decided to come out and visit. While here, we found this place for dinner. When arrived, we saw the beauty of the mill and factory location. Along a River/creek, this place is gorgeous. Big bar and plenty of seating with outdoor seating as well. We were seated right away on a Saturday evening. Plenty of beers on tap and good apps. We ordered Fried pickles(good) and fried cauliflower, Buffalo. Both were outstanding. Liv hasn't found good pizza since coming from NY. This was a good crust and a good thin layer pizza. Would we come back? Absolutely. This will be a go to place for sure. read more

The Establishment - The high ceilings. - Pizza Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

Mice (more than one) in dining room during dinner, not great ambiance. MOD took $22 off our $160 bill.

First and last visit, waitress was gruff, food was fair...but the mice in the dining room for the one star...

The thin crust pizza is very good. They have wide variety of dishes. There is something for everyone but the food is on the pricey side. A shout out to our waitress during the day, Julie. She did a great job and is so very friendly and willing to answer questions on the menu and on how to join their rewards program. read more

Came for my sister's graduation celebration dinner as a party of eight on a Saturday evening. Our reservation was originally for 7pm but we called ahead and they were able to accommodate us for 6:30pm, since we were running ahead of schedule. While it was busy, our waitress was always so friendly and apologetic about how slow the service was, despite it not being a problem for us. She checked in on us many times and made us feel welcomed. The food itself comes in large portions, and there's a wide variety of options on the menu. I have simple tastes and ordered the Chicken Tenders basket, which came with fries, cole slaw, and a sauce of my choice. The food is good, and what you might expect from this kind of restaurant. The atmosphere is lively, and I'd imagine a great place to celebrate with larger groups. Thankfully we were seated at a table against a wall so it didn't feel too loud. One thing to note is that it'd be nice for the TVs to display captions. Otherwise we had a great time celebrating together! read more

If you want to plan an event, The Establishment is your place!! Not only was the South room stunning, but a few key people made sure our event was a success! To plan the event, I worked with Dawn, who was absolutely outstanding in helping me understand the process, make suggestions and make adjustments where necessary. She made the planning super easy. Taylor was our server and the key person who ensured the flow of our event was perfect and that every person was happy. Just a wonderful experience. Lastly, Nona was the chef who not only prepared our food, but came out to introduce herself, offer suggestions and explained the homemade items that she and her team created. With these 3 key people on the top of their game, our family celebration with 30 family members was a spectacular event. Thank you ladies, you are all stars!! read more

Our dinner was delicious and our waitress was very attentive. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered.

Mediocre food at best. Dining out is too pricey these days to waste your time and money here.

Vibe: good, it's located in an old mill, lots of TVs Service: no complaints although they brought out our entrees about a minute after the appetizer. Food: worse than Applebee's. We got the bacon/cheddar tater barrels as an app which were very good but the pulled pork Mac and cheese was barely edible. The cheese sauce was thin and watery and the pork was not at all good. Value: poor, said Mac and cheese was about $20 read more

Good pub food and casual atmosphere. I got a burger it was a fine burger, onion rings were so yummy!!!

Had an after work meeting there with 8 co-workers and we were all disappointed. Soggy fries, soggy nachos. The worst were the chicken wings, cooked but the skin was like rubber. Nothing worse than not crispy chicken skin....disgusting. read more

I have Always had mediocre, ambivalent service. Pizza is passable, rest of food appears to be from a freezer bag, lazily presented, and is obnoxiously overpriced. Amazing space that deserves MUCH better. WAY too many TVs. I'd rather go to the 99 100/100 times read more

We went to this place when it first opened. The venue could be nice, but the many TVs are distracting. The server we had was having a bad day and wasn't very pleasant and screwed up our order, plus the food we got was below average, basically an over all bad experiance, so I don't think we'll ever go back . read more

I was in this restaurant recently and the place is beautiful. The food was also very good. I'm leaving this review because of the horrendous service. The waitress was rude, lazy and actually used profanity. She avoided my table and didn't return to ask if anything was needed or offer water or a second beverage. She had what sounded like was an English/Scottish accent and in her forties. Maybe she doesn't get the concept of the American service industry and earning a tip. She should be shown the door asap! I won't be back. read more

I wish I could give more stars! I held my daughter's wedding shower there today and everything was more than perfect! Taylor, our host for the event was amazing - taking care of every detail. The food was great - everyone raved about it! The venue was perfect - it was a special day!! Thank you, I'll be back for a more relaxing dinner soon!! read more

The food is not great. My cheeseburger sliders were hockey pucks. My husband got the pizza he said it was pretty good. I won't return there are many restaurants with way better food read more

Had a great time here in the function room. Helpful staff added 2 tables we needed. Great bartenders, great food. I loved the sausage onion and peppers with a rice pilaf type of rice. Chicken broccoli ziti was good too, a bit much on the sauce, but not dry like I had in other places Downstairs restaurant and bar looked great as well as the outdoor seating area. Definitely a place to come back to. read more

Typically happy with the establishment with the number of options. Two people in our family are gluten free and they have so many options. Tonight we placed an order to go. Was going to be an hour before ready. Was ok bc worth the wait. My husband got there and they had no order from us. They totally screwed up and just made excuses of being under staffed. Not apologetic at all. So disappointed that I don't know if can go back there again. read more

Attended an event in one of the function rooms. The food was a selection of appetizers. So basically a bunch of frozen items bought wholesale and heated up. The kind of thing you get for a snn small town pizza joint. Chicken fingers, chicken quesadilla, some tortilla chips, some liquid cheese to top them with. Fried cauliflower. Standard salad. Just need to turn on the fryer and hand the bags of frozen items to a teenager. No need for any chef here. Had a reasonable selection of beers. We tried 5 or 6 between us. All on tap. All flat. I've never come across this before. Every beer, every style, flat with no carbonation. Really bad. Lots of TVs though if you want to go out for dinner and stare at sport. Nice setting. Terrible food and drinks. read more

Our first time trying "The Establishment" was great. We each got a drink (I got the special of the day "peach vodka lemonade" and my husband got craft beer) for an appetizer we got the buffalo chicken dip which was amazing and a healthy portion. My husband got a large cheese pizza. I had a slice and honestly it could be a lot better. It was really thin and greasy. My cheeseburger sliders were cooked to perfection, tasted like a summer bbq. I asked for mac and cheese on the sliders since they have a Mac and cheese full size burger and they weren't able to accommodate.. not sure why.. it's not that hard to just put a scoop of Mac and cheese on them. I would have even paid extra if I had to. Oh well. Overall we had a great experience and Rachel (I think?) was a friendly and competent server. For a Friday night the service was quite reasonable. We will be back! read more

Food was great. Parking was fine but seeing how the restaurant is in The Mill, I'am sure depending on when you go, it could be tricky. If you have any difficulty walking, you might want to skip going here. They have a bar, high top seating and benches. Food: We got the buffalo chicken dip as an app. It was delicious! Chips that it came with could have been fresher. Lg chicken, broccoli, Alfredo pizza was cooked to perfection. The ciders were excellent (per waitress recommendation) and the desserts were the best part. My daughter got the fried ice cream, Husband got the apple tart special and I got the fried dough bites. I think my dessert was the winner. The waitress told me the fried dough bites were shareable. Nobody wanted to share with me (sad, I know). So I figured screw it, I'll get them anyway. She was right, it would've been enough for three or four people. Oh well ;) No regrets! I would say you could go to this restaurant and get an inexpensive meal $30 for 2 people (pre tip) and leave full. Or, you can easily spend quite a bit of money. They also have keno, which is fun. read more

Food was good and the service was good as well. Plenty of space and lots of TVs for sports.

I've seen a few commercials for this on TV and it's not far away (and I used to work in Chelmsford before this opened) so decided to give it a try. We got the spicy burger and the chicken spicy sub and both were very good. Service was great, we got there before it got too busy, food came out fast and well prepared. It was a nice place for dinner and we'll be going back to try some of their other dinner options. read more

The Establishment - Dining room area - Pizza Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

The Establishment is in a really cool old factory building that is attached to other shops. It's in a great location! The restaurant itself was very big, with a nice bar area and then a huge dinning area. The dinning area is surrounded by windows so it feels very open. The wait staff was nice, but they were late with one person's party's meal and drinks. The fish and chips were over fried. I thought the fish inside was a little dry and overcooked. There was a nice spice to the fried fish, but it was just too much batter for my liking. The clam chowdah was a good. It was not a thick chowdah but it was filled with a lot of potatoes. I wish there were more clams in it, that is what makes a delicious chowdah! I would like to go back to The Establishment and try their burgers or sandwiches. I was not impressed by their seafood but I bet the other food there is good! read more

Great bar food. My favorite it the buffalo chicken dip. Our most recent server was Jean who gave precise recommendations and was attentive. Lots of tv's, keno Good drinks read more

First time dining here, it was great! Greeted right away and given amazing service. Our waitress Sarah W was amazing. Had to save the receipt just to get her name for this review. We told them at the seating area that we were here for the first time after finding them on a google search for Keno and they sat us in a prime keno location! Fun atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices! I love how they have a dedicated Keno person and plenty of TV's. The bar area looked exciting although we didn't sit there, we were seating next to it. Most definitely will be back after the service received. Attached are pictures of the drinks and meals. Fish taco starters (ordered as meal) and the Mac cheese burger. Love the idea of the Mac burger but the pasta is so thick it's hard to enjoy the burger without it falling out and making the bread soggy. I ended up eating 50% of the pasta with a fork. YOULL BE STUFFED, I only ate half of everything. Wish the pasta was elbow style would make it more enjoyable read more

Our staff had a Christmas celebration here last weekend and went to a show in Lowell after. The ambiance in this restaurant is casual but comfortable. We had a private room upstairs which was a little crowded and was rustic with exposed beams. Our party had about 40-50 people and we had only one bartender so it took some time to move the drink line. To make matters worse, our bartender was also our server and had to close the bar to get the food set up! After dinner she also cleared the tables. She was awesome and I felt bad for her but she handled it like a champ and got everything taken care of. I only hope she got paid extra for doing all of that!!! The food was good for buffet style. We had fish, steak tips, a pasta dish, rice, veggies, salad and rolls. Everything was hot and tasty. Even the steak tips (which are generally not good on a buffet) were cooked nicely and very good. The fried dough bites for dessert were truly awful. Cold and chewy. Those should be off the menu!!! All in all we had a great time, and there was plenty of good food. I would likely visit as a restaurant guest in the future. read more

The Establishment - Baseball team! - Pizza Near Me - Chelmsford, Massachusetts

Some family of mine in the Merrimack Valley recommended this spot for a good hangout spot, so I tried it with them on a weekend. The Establishment is situated inside of what looks like an old mill building on a small stream/river that runs right next to the restaurant. Love the look and the feel of the building and the way that it is set up. It has a lot of charm and atmosphere. Mood: We got there early before any mobs showed up but there were still a few patrons here and there. Once game times for the local sports teams started to come around, so too did the people. And, it got busy in there, let me tell you. The Establishment, does have that sports-bar feel to it as there are TV's all over the place so you can catch the game no matter where you sit. But as with any sports-bar or grille, that means the noise factor increases. From the size of the dining space, its also great for parties and gatherings with many people. Food/Service: We were seated and had our orders taken faster than you can say "Blitz." However, the drinks came back wrong on at least two occasions. They made an honest effort to make the change, but then after the second try, we think the bartender just gave up as the drink was still not correct. The servers were excellent and very attentive to us, and the food that we got was very good, hot, and tasty. I had no complaints about the food that we have gotten from The Establishment, and in fact, its the place I asked to go as my new go-to in the Chelmsford-area. Overall: I'm down with The Establishment and it was a winner for me. If I could give them 4 and a half stars, that would be my rating for them. My new hangout spot for Chelmsford for sure. :) read more
