Even though the bottle bill is a in Massachusetts requires them to do so, they refuse to take back empty cans purchased from them. Well, at least not for money. The assistant manager said "you can leave them here but I'm not going to pay you for them". Now we will see if the bottle bill hotline (617-556-1054) or the environmental strike force (1-888-846-5283) that are both tasked with enforcement of the law steps in as I have contacted both agencies.

Yesterday, with blinders on, I would not be sidetracked. The CB was excellent. Perfectly cooked w a nice charbroiled taste. The bun held up it's part of the bargain. It was lightly grilled and didn't fall apart (this is very important). Sauteed onions rounded out the experience. The burger was in my top 12 all time, and I've tried them in hundreds of places around the country. Fries ok, nothing special, but at least hot. Prices very reasonable, barmaid Cathy a fixture (and personable and efficient). Lots of friendly locals. Anyway, so many great choices on the menu, and daily specials. Wish it was closer. 5 charbroiled stars

The apple sangria was tangy, sweet and well balanced. Really went down well. So well I had a second one-to ensure it was as good as I thought. It was! They ran out of the prime rib special (it looked amazing so I'm not surprised). I got a French dip sandwich which was tender and well seasoned. Loved that the roll and the au jus were still hot when it arrived. The garden salad had fresh crisp lettuce and lots of veggies.

She came back and said "every kind of veggie we have" so I asked for no peppers. My omelette arrived along with the gluten free sun-dried tomato toast I ordered. The omelette had peppers and my toast was completely raw and doughy. The server never checked back in so we were able to get a different servers attention and told him about the bread being raw. I asked for a new piece of bread or just a piece of white gluten free bread if all the sun dried tomato bread was raw. He returns with the same piece of bread stating it was a new piece. They clearly cut off the end I had bit into and just microwaved it. It was warm but still doughy as it clearly wasn't fully cooked.

Very easy to get overwhelmed. I kept my order simple with a soft serve vanilla on a cake cone dipped in butterscotch glaze which was a temporary offering. The ice cream was incredibly fluffy. You could see small air pockets which is not something I typically look for in ice cream. The ice cream is still rich and creamy despite the light texture. The butterscotch dip was a great topping. It was a transient option, but I'd be inclined to try any dip. I'd skip on the cake cone, but it was the only cone that they'd dip. It a tough choice between dip or waffle cone. Service was fast. There is a huge yard with ample seating. Large parking lot too.

Three people were already ahead of us, but they were long-waiting for their order. More people came in after us, some door-dash types and some ready to order at the counter. Finally! A staff person finally acknowledged us after several minutes and took our order. But after about 5+ minutes, I was informed the caramel machine was broken. So I opted for the hot fudge. By the time I actually received the sundae it was after another 5+ minutes that flew by slowly. I took it over to the table and found the ice cream already half melted, creating a mess in trying to eat it. I finally succeeded but needed to wash my hands. Going to the bathroom I found a sign on the door stating one has to ask for a key at the service desk to get in! Ugh, I hated the idea that I had to get back in that line?, but I tried the door and found it unlocked. Upon entering I found a mostly clean bathroom but the soap dispenser issued very little soap because someone had taken it apart and those parts lay across the top of the sink. Fun. After all of this, as I was eating, I noticed the constant long lines of vehicles winding around the building, waiting for the drive-up. So when we left we could not even back up out of our parking space immediately because of the back-up almost to the road. What an experience all for some ice cream.
