    Boiler Plate Challenge. 6 pounds
    Shawn B.

    I took on the "Boiler Plate Challenge." It was a 6 pound platter of BBQ. It consisted of: pulled pork smothered in BBQ sauce, 16 hour brisket, smoked sausage, a full rack of ribs, sliced pickles, French fries, coleslaw, onion rings, and cornbread. The pulled pork was fantastic, the BBQ sauce they used had an awesome flavor. The 16 hour Brisket was so tender it continuously fell off of my fork as I ate it. No knife required there delicious. The smoked sausage was good but it could have had a bit more salty flavor. The full rack of ribs were very good as well. The bones literally slid right out of the meat they were so tender. The best onion rings I have ever had. I am normally not a fan of onion rings but these were small and very crispy. There was not loose onion dangling around, perfectly done. The French fries were ok not spectacular and not terrible, average. I never have coleslaw but that was also decent, it had plenty of sauce but there was not a puddle of it after I finished which was nice. Finally the cornbread was very dry. It tasted ok but I believe I could make better cornbread than that. Oh and I hate pickles in general so enough about those already. Overall a very satisfying meal. This place knows how to do BBQ food right. They have many more options for meat and sides as well as pizza. I would thoroughly recommend this establishment.

    I wish I could have a better review for Boiler. If I could base this solely on friendliness and the great time we had enjoying our beers and conversation it would be 4 stars. Unfortunately, we did order food and had waited over two hours. They really need to get things figured out in the kitchen. Two hours for just ok brisket is too much.

    We went back to give it another shot tonight and I must say there has been some improvement. Here it goes: The Good: As mentioned before, the spicy pickles are amazing! The shrimp toast was also outstanding. Mashed and baked potatoes were very good. Meh: Meatloaf and gravy were well seasoned and it scratched the home cooking itch, but was dry (except for one piece). Steak tips were seasoned simply with salt and pepper but we're overcooked (medium was anywhere from medium well to well). Mac and cheese looked inviting but barely had a hint of cheese. I'd have been very unhappy if I'd have went with the lobster mac and cheese and got that). The Bad/Ugly: The table we were to be seated at had not been wiped down (food, sauce/mystery liquid on table). The waitress removed the "unused" water glasses, sprayed and wiped the table and then RE-USED the glasses on the table. She then said she would leave the glasses in case we wanted water (No way in hell!). This is a re-training/disciplinary issue that needs to be fixed imeadiately. The physical plant is unique for the area, the bar seemed to be busy and people looked happy. I'd love to love this place but I just can't. The rating went from 2 stars to 3 stars because the food is ok and with a little effort could be great!

    I really wanted to enjoy a night out at the Boiler Bar & Grille. Unfortunately, it was a disappointing night. Service was quite slow. The room was incredibly cold. When we finally got our food, it tasted like it had been doused in salt. I would not recommend going to the Boiler. The area could really use a great restaurant, unfortunately this is not it.

    Pulled pork with fries, malt slaw, sweet hot pickles and a side of mayo. to dip my fries in.  Delicious!

    Pleasant surprise and excellent, much needed addition to the Athol - Orange area!! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, clean and modern with a touch of the old factory feel. You can tell a lot of love and thought went into the planning and décor. Staff is always friendly and eager to please. The food?...the food is AWESOME!! Yes, the prices are on the moderate end, but, well worth every penny!! We have gone several times since they opened in May and have absolutely no complaints whatsoever! We have brought the kids, 4 of them, a few times and they were welcomed and pleased with their meals as well. Bread served pre-meal with homemade herb butter, is fresh baked and differs each week. I could live on the stuff!! The smoked prime rib, I was skeptical about initially. "Who in their right mind would smoke prime rib!?" Let me tell you, it is the best rib I have ever had! The smoke flavor is subtle and the garlic mashed potatoes as a side with the rib is a must have! Mac & Cheese is to die for, with or without the addition of lobster. Garlic clams...I could drink the juice from! And oh my god!! The baked scallops I had last week...I wanted to lick the dish. SO GOOD!!!! Every single item we have ordered has been delightful. We are food lovers who are sometimes overly critical...take our word for it, it is worth a visit or ten!!

    A lot of times in local places like this you'll get many local patrons that flood yelp with five…read morestar reviews, but they won't be warranted. There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

    So we heard about this place on one our trips to Keene. First time we ventured over, we picked a…read moreday when they were closed. Second time, we just stopped in for drinks. Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.
