Any of the flavors of their danishes are a safe bet too, as they're seriously delicious, and we crave them often. We've tried a couple of their lunch options and some other pastries and would probably pass on those next time. Their scones tend to be on the dry side. Their coffee is good, though they don't offer many specialty flavor options if that's what you're looking for. We're still mourning two of our all-time favorites that have been discontinued: the homemade donuts every Sunday and the mushroom toast. Birchwood, please bring them back!

We walked in and were immediately greeted by a couple of chipper teenage hostesses and we were even able to pick our table. Our server seemed a little off at first but he warmed up after a little banter; perhaps he was just feeling us out. Beer menu was great but did not necessarily contain anything rare. I had a foam ipa and a stout from dorchester brewing to follow. I had the smash burger. It seemed like a true smash as it was crispy on the outside and had the right amount of grease. The house made chips were a nice addition as I'm not a huge French fry fan. My wife had the fig and prosciutto flatbread and she liked it. The fig paste was tasty, arugula was fresh and there was even some cheese pull. Overall, it was a nice visit and I wouldn't hesitate to go back based on how this visit went.

Really disappointing experience at The Shed in Franklin…read more This place used to be pretty good, which makes the decline even more noticeable. We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was surprisingly empty, yet the service still moved at an absolute snail's pace. With so few customers, there really was no reason for everything to take as long as it did. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the wait. The potstickers were particularly bad, and I felt ill the following day after eating them. The rest of the meal including the BBQ quesadilla and fries was mediocre at best and nowhere near the quality I remember from previous visits. The prices make the experience even harder to justify. If you are charging these prices, the food and service need to deliver, and neither did. I'm not sure what happened to The Shed, because I remember this being a solid local restaurant. Based on this visit, it has gone significantly downhill. Slow service, mediocre food, disappointing quality, and simply not worth the price. Really unfortunate because we used to enjoy coming here.

Lots of knock knacks on the walls, many related to beer and trains. Deep menu of comfort food made from scratch. Good draft beer list. -- Depot Burger: Their more ambitious of two regular menu burgers (they also have some as specials) was a visual treat in a pillowy Portuguese muffin. This provided a full size patty cooked to medium rare with juices trickling from the gentle, loosely packed beef. Full-coverage Vermont cheddar added silky richness, red onion jam added contrast, and tomato and arugula added vegetation. The star, at least visually, was the bacon: crisp, yet soft and bendable, with glorious color. Flavor was even better, with a deliciously strong cure. The whole package worked beautifully. One of the better burgers I've had this year for sure. -- Fries (a $2 add-on to the burger): A big stack, hand-cut (they also have hand-cut sweet potato fries), cooked just to the point of crispness while leaving a little droop and fluff. Nicely seasoned. -- Beer: I was thrilled to see a Hill Farmstead Double Nelson on the tap list. Smooth, strong, and delicious. -- Buffalo Wings: Looked and felt a little different, so I asked. Baked, then fried, yielding some charred crust on the outside and some tenderness within. Good wings, but with great sauces: the homemade Buffalo sauce had some serious kick, some complexity (little bits of unknown herbs), and some vinegar too. Homemade blue cheese thick and zesty. On Mondays, $1 each in batches of 6 or more, and with a guest flavor on top of their interesting fleet (ginger is next). -- Quahog: A well-rounded stuffed pile with bits of chorizo crispily mixed in, served with lemon wedge. It needed it for moisture, but a formidable offering that still satisfied. -- Caesar Salad: A large one with two well-layered hunks of Romaine, with a zippy (maybe mustard-infused) dressing and a dense coverage of crispy pancetta. Numerous homemade, dice-sized, well-seasoned croutons. No additional Parm and no anchovy pieces I could detect on their, but that dressing didn't let me down. A different kind of Caesar, but a very enjoyable one. -- Steak Tips: Had as an add-on to the salad, this provided a taste without committing to a full order. These don't make my steak tips pantheon (Champions, Tuckaway Tavern, New Bridge Cafe), but decent. Cooked a bit past the medium rare but still somewhat juicy. Nice flavor too, but subtle. I wouldn't get these again; too many better things on the menu. Service at the bar was cordial and attentive on both visits. Friendly staff all around. Not everything was perfect, but so much of it was (and no duds) that it's impossible not to drop a 5 based on the overall quality of every aspect.

We were told by our server that a parking lot is available just down the next side street - close by. We had no reservation, but scored a round table facing the street. Place was homey, lots of metal signs on the wall and hanging from the ceiling. Nice menu, adult daughter had a clam chowder (very thick and tasty) and shared our meals. My significant other had a corned beef reuben with a side of truffle fries and a pickle spear - very nice reuben, plenty of meat, swiss, kraut and dressing. She and daughter who always order reubens aaid the sandwich was good. I had a Depot burger which was half lb beef, bacon, cheese and tomato. Excellent. Came w homemade chips and a spear. Server was attentive with refills, checking on our food and whether we wanted dessert. Nice place for lunch, just celebrated their 12th anniversary of being in business.

I arrived a little early and grabbed a seat at the bar, where I tried to order a glass of wine. But that wasn't happening here! They serve neither wine or beer, only their own whiskeys, vodkas, rums, gin, and an agave-based spirits. I tried one of their mixed drinks, which was excellent. Still, if you want a beer or a glass of wine with dinner, that's going to be an issue. Among other dishes, we ordered: Charcuterie Board: Artisan cheeses, cured meats, pickled vegetables, plum preserves, espelette mustard, and grilled focaccia. Caesar Salad: Romaine, anchovy dressing, sourdough croutons, and parmesan tuile. Seared Tuna: Sesame-crusted ahi tuna, cold glass noodle salad, bean sprouts, snow peas, braised spring onions, sesame yuzu ponzu, and black rice vinegar reduction. Steak Frites: Balsamic-marinated steak tips, tater tots, trumpet mushrooms, gochujang aioli, gorgonzola, pickled chiles, and avocado salsa verde. With the exception of the charcuterie board, the food was very good and nicely presented. My seared tuna was excellent. It was a busy Friday night, though, and service was spotty. One diner commented on the long wait for a drink refill. The setting added to the evening, and the restaurant's interior is also beautiful. Overall, a solid four-star dining experience.
