This is one of the nicest restaurants in Lowell. It feels like a nice hotel restaurant, but the building isn't actually a hotel. They are set up to host large events in the dining room, but the bar area is nice and cozy, with several high top tables and booths. One of the best things here is the chowder... New England style, hearty and delicious. The bar has a great selection of local beer, and they make a great cocktail. Since the closure of several restaurants in Lowell, Cobblestones is one of the few options for eating out before an event at Tonga's Center or LMA. This means they can get quite busy on event nights. It's possible the quality of the food and service might suffer a bit in these circumstances, but that's true of any place. Plan your visit accordingly, and adjust your expectations. Cobblestones is a local Lowell treasure! read more

Stopped for lunch with my wife. The skillet haddock was without the mashed potatoes, they were the only reason I ordered the dish. The waitress told me it would take an additional 30-40 min. to prepare. The fish itself was dry. My wife ordered the Texas tips medium rare. They were also dry. Our waitress was less than honest with us. A very very disappointing lunch that cost me $100.+ read more

Our overall experience at Cobblestones has been positive over time. One complaint from this past weekend: We had the nachos during the Folk Festival, and were very disappointed with the quality. The nachos seemed to have been over-fried and the queso topping was used heavily and was too floury. We couldn't finish them. Otherwise, the service was good. read more

Quick brunch for three of us as we were headed to the new Hive shopping location in Lowell. This restaurant is so beautiful inside and out. Absolutely love the decor. Food was impressive too. We had a modified brunch but the choices were well presented and prepared. Our server was quick to refill our beverages but never hovered read more

This place is wonderful. We got the brussel sprouts for an appetizer. They were delicious. I saved the sauce to dip my husband and my Texas tips in!! Also delicious!! My daughter's caeser salad with grilled chicken looked amazing and she loved it. Their fries are excellent. We've tried both types and recommend you doing the same. We like to dip the plain fries in their jalapeño ranch. Their homemade kettle chips are also amazing. Our service was great. Caetryn was friendly and took great care to make sure we had everything we needed! The ambiance is very nice. A beautiful place but a casual vibe. Another great time at Cobblestones! read more

Write what a great sort in an amazing historic building in Lowel MA. We were heading to a concert and needed dinner before very happy we chose this place. The food was amazing, that service was to notch & we loved the vibe of the place. read more

We have had two family get-togethers at Cobblestones in the last month, one for dinner and one for brunch. In both cases the food was excellent and in both cases our server was Lill (sp?), who was super helpful and charming. She gave us insights into the dishes with a flare of humor. My favorite dish was the chicken and waffles, check them out! read more

Came here for a drawing class & we had appetizers. They were great, no skimping on toppings, & the staff were super nice! Gotta come back for dinner sometime. read more

I've been here a few times- finally taking the time to write a review. I was spending time in Lowell at Tsongas to watch the new Boston PWHL women's hockey team this season (highly recommend) and I was looking for some pre-game food. Cobblestones is just down the street. I've had brunch and dinner- both fantastic. Love the pretzel. I've sat at the bar each time. Very busy but friendly service and great food. Fun place to meet other fans- friendly crowd. Love that their menu encourages diners to realize that dining has changed and that it might require a bit more patience these days- and that service issues can be handled on site or with the manager via email - give them an opportunity to correct before leaving a negative review. I loved the honesty when I saw that on the menu. read more

We went to an amazing Sopranos wine dinner on Thursday evening. I can't say enough about how delicious every course was from the appetizer to the desert. The wine pairing was so good and it was fun learning about each new wine. Best of all was the hard working staff. Everything was so organized and timely. They were all so sweet and you could just see how they loved what they do. Kudos to Scott and Kathy for having such a great business with great people!!!!!! read more

Brought friends from our of town to go to a show at Lowell Memorial Auditorium tonight(Saturday). There was a limited menu, supposedly due to show night to get people to the show on time. Service was slow, a simple Arnold Palmer was undrinkable, food was bland, my chicken was undercooked, and we had to scarf our food to make the 7:30 show. Special menu sucked. We're done here. read more

The food was under seasoned - the mashed potatoes were watery and had no flavor. The fish was swimming in oil. The waiter told us when we asked the fish was outstanding.. I think he was trying to upsell the menu because the only thing he talked about that was good were the high price items!! The special Parmesan fries - barely warm and the Parmesan was dumped on and clumping. read more

I came here with my family for the first time. i had the hot honey chicken sandwich with fries and homemade coleslaw. I wanted to try their fish and chips but they ran out of fish. The service was really good our waiter was attentive and our food was brought out in a reasonable time. I would come back read more

The building is beautiful and the service was great. Two of us ordered the roasted haddock and I am almost certain it was Tilapia (the worst white fish, not healthy) that was served. I am from the Ocean State so I am familiar with haddock. The fish was dry and stuck to the pan it came in. Boy was it ever "roasted". The piece was tiny and looked grey. There was just a small side of mashed potatoes that were cold. Our server had this reheated and returned with some scallions tossed on top and potatoes were still cold. Our service apologized and said the manager would offer us dessert. There were four of us, so we started to order and he said "you only get one for the table". Avoid this restaurant. $50.00 for two meals and the two of us left hungry. read more

We always stop at Cobblestones for either brunch or drinks when we come back to the area to visit family. The food is always delicious, and the service and ambiance are excellent. Located right in the heart of the Mill City. We love this place! read more

I have had a great many Reuben sandwiches in my time, and this is one of the best. Good French onion soup as well. I love the environment in the dining room, and the staff is very friendly. read more

Best burger I've ever had, beats gourmet burger places like Capital Burger in Boston & Five Napkin Burger in NYC. Double patties of succulent meat grilled to perfection on a brioche bun, with the house sauce was delicious. The short rib was tender and had a sultry dark sauce. The Spyglass IPA was maybe the best IPA I've ever had & I drink them all the time... it had a complex & deep flavor. The atmosphere is classy and the service was great... seems more like an upscale restaurant in NYC than anything you normally find in MA read more

Great atmosphere. Food was on point. The portions were large. Excellent service. Shout out to Shannon!

First time today and what a great experience, place was clean service was excellent. One waitress was serving multiple tables and was doing an excellent job. burger and Buffalo tenders were excellent. read more

We went for Mother's Day' last year and going Again this year It's fantastic service and delicious food

Wow! Absolutely Disappointing.... NEVER DO BRUNCH....it's day old food with fresh eggs on the side. The hash was a greasy mess of old food from Saturday blended and covered in grease. The sausage was day old with the same overnight grease all over it. There were no patrons and now I can see why. Just an overall greasy disgusting experience. DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY at an establishment that doesn't care what it send out of its kitchen. read more

Always nice to enjoy a beverage and app after a long day day; thankful for cobblestones tasty drink selection, welcoming atmosphere and of course, the company of one of my favorite bartenders, Alyssa! can't wait to see the summer menu selections, keep up the good work cobblestones! read more

The food, drinks and service were excellent. The restaurant itself is beautiful. We ate in the tavern.

Food buffet was good variety and good taste, did not care much for the wraps, slide burgers but Mac & ch, shrimps, arugula salad , 2 option chix , rice were good. Service was ok, understand it was busy had to get waitress attention twice for drink refill and check. Place is nice , has a bar, nicer than casual, not fine. 2nd - 3rd floor nice to see, appears to be celebrity once upon a time dine and hang out. Overall good. read more

The food was great, the bartender Alyssa was ON POINT WITH EVERYTHING. We had clam chowder, buffalo tenders, steak tips with truffle fries, a couple Sangrias, a drink on the house, and a shot of casa amigos. She did not disappoint and we will be back on Tuesday for some oysters. Alyssa thank you for making this dining experience worth it!!! read more

Vegan menu?? service?? I want to say this place was great but we had 2 issues that dragged our entire experience down. 1. the service was transparently all about rushing us through our meal to try to upsell us on fries and more fries, more drinks and get our appetizer plates off the table (even thougth we had not finished eating our appetizers) and get our dinner orders in so we would clear out for the next party... felt very rushed and pushed to add fries or drinks so the staff would make more month 2 the alleged vegan menu. there is NOTHING on this menu that is VEGAN. Vegan meand no dairy, no animal milks, no meat or poulty, no eggs, no fish. vegan foods include all vegetables, grains, plant oils, beans, legumes, nuts there are nut based cheeses, grain and legume based cheeses and sauces and binders that are NOT eggs or dairy0 start with a simple vegan eff 2 items on the menu marked vagan a foccaia with maple butter- uuuuum give us oil that is plant based and it is vegan. give us cow's milk butter and you call that vegetarian. 3. oops one more thing .We go t2 orders of fries onour table one was under cooked one was over= ?? read more

Not a bad place to eat. Great atmosphere specifically outside. Food was ok. I'd go again.

This review is only about service, not food. When we got here, there was no host inside or outside (which is fine, places are busy) -- I waited, walked around the lobby and indoor space so I went back outside. A server came out and asked me if I wanted to sit on the patio and asked me to pick a table. I did and he told me he'd be right back with menus, etc. After about 5 minute a hostess came out and told us the tables weren't come, first serve, and that there was actually a waitlist because they only had 1 server working -- that's fine, but not what we were told -- we definitely didn't just sit down without being asked to. I asked her if there was a wait inside and she said no, so we went inside and waited to be seated (we didn't know if it was first come, first serve). While I was waiting to be seated I looked around at both Cobblestones and the Tavern (I think it's Moonstones) and didn't see any servers on the floor, so got the feeling we might have to wait a while for our food. I asked the hostess (who had arrived by then without asking us if we needed anything/needed to be seated) if there was only one server working and she said no, there was one for inside, one for outside, and one for the tavern. Her attitude during this interaction compounded with the earlier interaction where we were made to feel bad for their poor internal communication made me feel unwelcome and we left for another brunch place. Ended up at Fuse -- it was busier but the service was great, and the food was really good too -- I recommend that as an alternative! read more

Abysmal service, meh food. We arrived around 1:45 on Sunday afternoon. When the hostess acknowledged us, she said the restaurant was fully booked and suggested that we sit in the Tavern. There were no seats, but after a few minutes a party left, and a server cleared the dishes off of the table and said she'd be right back to wipe it down. Another patron brought us a menu when she want to grab one for herself. After about 10 minutes a person I assume was the manager (not dressed in black) asked if anyone was helping us, and when we said no, took our orders (and asked the server clearing the next table to wipe ours off). We waited probably another 10 minutes before the bartender stopped by to say they were out of the ingredients to make a Phony Negroni, and took a replacement order. We waited a good 10 minutes after that for our drinks. We finally got our food at 2:35, and it was lukewarm. My partner's steak was undercooked for medium. The hash was super weird - like deli sliced corned beef instead of cubed, and not many potatoes - but tasty enough. We finished our food and had to hunt down staff to pay our bill so we could get to our event. There seemed to be 3-4 servers wandering in and out, but often there would be nobody in the Tavern area for an extended period of time. Also, when I walked by the dining room on my way to the restroom, it was mostly empty. I really can't fathom why service was so ridiculously slow with so many apparent staff. We've been before and had good experiences, but we won't be back. Pity, as the location is super convenient for events at the Tsongas Center. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant for years! This is kind of a staple restaurant in Lowell. It's a little bit pricier than the average restaurant in town, but worth the ambiance and quality. In the past, I enjoyed some romantic dinners and nice casual bites at the bar. I came here two days after they reopened after the pandemic shut everything down. They have a solid operation! A tent in the parking lot, with tables along the side. The menu is changed, I have included a photo. The food was just as good as always, with some new and creative items on the menu. My boyfriend was very glad to find that the fish is fresh. As always, the bathrooms were clean. read more

Maybe it's a good bar scene, but don't waste your time trying to get a good, reasonably priced and expeditiously served meal in the restaurant section. Waited an hour and quarter for mediocre chowder and burgers on a day that there were few others seated. It should have been a clue! One of this octogenarian's worst-ever dining experiences. read more

This is by far the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at. Ice cold parts of food. Lousy menu. Zero handicap accessibility. Poor timing if food delivery. Even giving a little leeway for covid, it just can't get any worse. Years ago it had decent food. Downhill ever since. No adequate parking. Skip it as there are so many other good places to go. read more

Lousy service- there on Dec 17 2023. Awful food- cold soup and food de- no experienced wait staff. Will not even serve you bread. Prime rib was inedible- loaded with fat, served with lumpy cold potatoes. Last time ever for us at Cobblestones. A rip off. read more

This establishment is absolutely amazing. The decor and the quaint and warmness is amazing. The food is excellent and so is the service. We had Lill as our waitress tonight and she was a pleasure. She was prompt, making sure we were very happy and we loved her. This is definitely made my visit to lol read more

I can't figure this place out. The decor and ambiance say "upscale," the food menu says "comfort food," and the liquor menu combined with the food menu says "gastropub." The music in the dining room was equally eclectic, alternating from blues to Pure Prairie League to Sinatra to 70s R&B, but little, if anything current. Nothing about our meals were bad, but some parts of it felt like they should have been better, as in I was expecting a bit more. So first, the things I liked: - The beer and cocktail list. I was very happy with my beer selection, A Left Hand Hard Wired Nitro Coffee Porter. The cocktails were also interesting. - The service. - The hummus part of the mezze platter - it was really good. The whitefish is mildly smoky, and the tapenade is quite salty (I'm not saying these are bad, I'm just describing them; the hummus was my clear favorite). Personally I'd rather have pita bread than toasted pita - it just kept crumbling as I broke off pieces to scoop. - The cole slaw that came with our entrees. I love a cole slaw which contains horseradish, and I'm glad I order this as a substitute for the fries. - The after-dinner coffees. They really hit the spot. The dessert menu did looked interesting, but we opted for the coffees. There was also a nice selection of after dinner drinks and digestifs. The entrees were what needed to be kicked up a notch. My companions's corned beef reuben was somewhat deceptively packaged, with a 3rd slice of bread in the middle. It was literally 3 slices of bread and 4 slices of corned beef. He lives in Tewksbury, and he compared this reuben unfavorably to what he could get at Deli King for much less. My Cobblestone burger looked delicious. But I asked for it medium and it came out well done, and the bacon had more flavor than the burger. But I'm glad they didn't try to disguise the flavor with condiments, and you can order additional guacamole and/or mushroom for it for a small charge. This is possibly one of those places where the entrees vary, and over time if you dine here often enough you figure out which ones you like best. If we return, we'll definitely try different entrees. read more

I ordered chicken Marsala and what I got looked good but it was SWEET and had a chocolate sauce.

My husband got a burger and said it was normal. read more
