Good food but you have to order at the bar. And it was a full bar. Food took forever. Maybe it was more crowded than the usual. It was a stop for us during a road trip. The good news was that the food was really good. Hot. I'd recommend but it's not for everyone

This is a reasonably priced place to eat in Hopkinton. They offer your basic fare of burgers great pizzas and reasonably priced drinks. A group that I work with usually frequents this place they have plenty of parking. The only thing to keep in mind is the only take cash they have a small ATM but no credit cards.

At first blush, the outside is warm and inviting, with a nice bright exterior and hanging flower baskets. The flowers were fake upon closer inspection, and this should have clued me in they are more concerned about customer service than appearances. The interior is dark but charming. It's clear this place is for locals to booze and play keno. Service was done through the bar, with signs on every table declaring 'No table service'.

At first blush, the outside looks warm and inviting, with a nice bright exterior and hanging flower baskets. The flowers were fake upon closer inspection, and this should have clued me in. The interior by contrast is dark, dank and charmless. It's clear this place is for locals to booze and play keno. Service was non-existent, with signs on every table declaring 'No table service' and we weren't even greeted upon entering. Menus are cheap printed off pieces of paper that we had to discover ourselves on a rack on the wall. We left without ordering, as when we finally were acknowledged rather perfunctorily, we found they don't accept cards, which is another huge red flag. Hearing of other's experience with food poisoning, it sounds like we made the right choice.
