Continuously going downhill each other one I order here. Jacking the prices up while reducing the quality of food, service and accuracy. Every time I ask for a specific sauce, come to pick up, it's late again, give a friendly reminde about the sauce, every time they remember to forget it so I have to waste another 3-5 minutes waiting for that before I can actually leave and eat. Not sure how many more disappointments I got left in me with this place but you can find better quality and service elsewhere in town as long as you're not obsessed with their steak tips. read more

Came here last night for a work holiday dinner. The hostess seemed annoyed with the party in front of us (seemed like they were known to her, possibly family members?) half of our party was already seated so we went and found them. we placed our drink orders and received it relatively quick. placed our orders as well. service was just okay, somewhat lacking. we ordered waters for the table 3 x and it took much too long to receive them. the steak mac and cheese was good but a bit pricey considering the shallow dish it comes in. the rest of our party enjoyed their dishes and drinks. it wasn't very busy for a tuesday night for the service to be lacking so much. read more

Updating the review - I've been here several times since my last review and have had great experiences each time. On my most recent trip, we had a server named Richie who was outstanding, 5 stars for him alone! He was so funny and great with suggestions and recommendations! Food was great, so were the drinks as well! read more

The food was so good. I got the steak tips with fries. Anyone who goes here has to get steak tips with fries. The service was nice and always checked on us when he walked by which was nice. The restaurant was nice and clean I liked it. Overall is top 5 restaurants on my list. read more

Conrads - Me finishing my food - Seafood Near Me - Walpole, Massachusetts

the blonde bartender should barely be a hostess. she's beautiful but clearly has never backed a bar. no knowledge of making a drink other than a vodka soda-at all. ignored a severe food allergy. she continuously hit on my daughters boyfriend in front of her, myself and my wife. she can't even pour a shot. doesn't do last call properly. needless to say, we will not be back on friday's or saturdays if she is tending the bar. read more

One of our favorite restaurants, especially for pizza. We are equally distant from both the Norwood and Walpole locations but as I was equally distant from both the Norwood and Walpole locations but as I was recently injured we have been favoring Walpole for the ease of parking and getting in and out of the restaurant. Ho, the last two times we were there there was definitely a mouse problem! Last week there were TWO mice scurrying in and out under the empty tables at the entrance to the side room (on the right as you enter the restaurant). VERY disconcerting as you are sitting there trying to enjoy a meal! Once I could easily ignore but BOTH of our last two visits doesn't inspire any confidence that anyone is even concerned about it! I realize that you A) do not want traps visually scattered about a dining establishment and B) it is an inevitable problem in this type of business, but it would seem that regular attention to the situation in the overnight, unpopulated time frames would at least do SOMETHING to keep this from occurring in full view of paying customers! It hardly interests anyone in hurrying back there! read more

I came here for a baby shower. The function room we were in was a perfect size with plenty of space for people to move around. There was even a bathroom off to the side so you didn't have to share with the restaurant patrons. Like most showers, the food was served buffet style. I got caesar salad, fish filet, steak tips and vegetables. Unlike most showers, the food was surprisingly good! The steak tips were some of the best I've had in a while and I couldn't stop talking about them. The other items were delicious as well but the steak tips definitely stood out. Based on this experience, I wouldn't mind checking out the regular restaurant menu! read more

We sat close to 20 minutes before my husband got up and asked for a server. To be fair, there was a small line and some confusion at the hostess station. I don't think she knew about us and ended up being very pleasant. The food was...adequate and forgettable. Salads never came. Went back to hostess station/register to pay bill rather than waiting since we had already been there quite a while and an older woman asked me what I was doing as I handed her the bill and credit card. I said I'd like to pay. She looked at it and asked what it was as if I was trying to hand her a severed foot. I repeated myself and she said the server had to handle it. Fortunately server came right over but nothing about this place was special. read more

The severs and managers are always so attentive everytime we go. We walked in on Saturday night with 5 adults & 3 littles. They got us a table as soon as they could (and the place was busy!). I always feel comfortable bringing my twin toddlers there because it is so family friendly. I can't wait to go back ASAP! read more

Had a $36 bill was charged $76 in cc. Called spoke to mgr Scotty very rude said "mam" what do u want me to do!! Server must've charged wrong amount. Biweekly have to cancel cc and dispute amount. We are so disappointed read more

I hosted my high school reunion here last night. The staff (Mitch, Chrissy, Dan & Tom) were amazing and accommodating! The food was plentiful and delicious. Great space. I definitely recommend Conrads. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant for years now since it's been close to where I live. Lately though both their food and service has been going downhill. I was in here today with someone and got their famous steak tip dinner. Ordered medium rare and got medium rare. Both my baked potato and broccoli were undercooked. Broccoli so underdone I wouldn't even eat it. My friend told me the pasta dish she ordered was very watery. She had also asked for extra butter to come with her meal which was never brought. We both had coffee afterwards. It was fresh but barely lukewarm. There wasn't even sugar on the table. The total bill came to approximately $60. For a steak tip dinner and a pasta dish without meat or sides I have to call that a total rip off. Next time someone asks if I want to come here again I'll definitely say NO! read more

Not a good experience. Waiter forgot our appetizer. Everything came out at once. No room on table. Food was not hot just barely warm. Brussel sprouts were hard as rocks. Un cooked no flavor. Would have asked for something else but waiter never bothered to ask us how our food was. Very disappointed read more

Conrad's was our go-to for years, but I'm left with no choice to leave this review after several bad experiences. The last 4 times we've gotten takeout, the order has been missing pieces of the meal - usually sides like the salad, French fries, and veggies. We usually check before leaving the restaurant. One time the hostess gave me a hard time about the side salad that has been a part of this entree for years, telling me it doesn't come with a salad, even when the salad is on the receipt. The final straw was when the meatball on the kids pasta and meatball was bright pink and RAW in the middle!! Sorry Conrad's, we're breaking up. read more

The food is just not good here. Nice atmosphere and clean inside, easy parking. But low quality food. Onion soup was gross. Salad was ok. Drinks are decent. read more

My husband hosted a party for me at Conrad's on 7/21. It was an amazing evening in their lovely function room. The staff had helped my husband plan a delicious menu with something for everyone. They guided him on table placement, dance floor space and served our guests with kindness and good cheer. I can't wait to go back again and would strongly suggest this venue for your next party! read more

We were looking forward to the opening of Conrads in Needham. We dined here recently and were somewhat disappointed with the food. We had the combo grill with steak and turkey tips and the hot honey chicken sandwich. The baked potato for one side was not cooked sufficiently and the vegetable medley was not flavorful. The veges were undercooked. The steak tips were very good. Marinade on the turkey tips was not as flavorful as the steak tips although they were tender. The chicken sandwich seemed small compared to other restaurants with similar sandwich. The best part of our meal was the great service from our waitress. We probably won't be returning based on our experience. read more

Unfortunately, tonight has not been our best experience @ Conrad's. Though the food and drinks were fine to above average, the service in general is definitely not up to par. Still waiting for server to return to take dessert order (more than 5 minutes ago), after initial seating and waiting minimum 25 minutes to even be acknowledged. Then further delay with dinner order being taken. The table next to us who were seated after us, halfway done with their dinners, when our order was taken. Younger female bartender with attitude for Keno play . Sorry, I think that's part of your job. With 8 patrons actually sitting at the bar itself and 3 staff tending bar, I don't think she was overwhelmed. Oh, dessert just arrived, but we didn't actually order anything. The server must have overheard us discussing options, and made an assumption ??? AND it was NOT the dessert that we would have ordered. In fact it would have been our LAST choice of the dessert options. Choosing NOT to actually name people. Positive note is that we did actually win a little cash on Keno. The female bartender who assisted with this part of our night- the winning part (different bartender), was pleasant. read more

my boyfriend and i visited this conrad's location over the weekend and had a very pleasant experience. there was somewhat of a wait so we decided to sit at the bar. hannah was extremely pleasant and took great care of us we will definitely be back! read more

I live in town, and I've been here many times. It's about time I leave a review! I frequent two Conrads: the one here in Walpole, and the one in the center of Norwood. I probably spend more time at the Norwood location, but only because my work is in town. The difference between these two locations is primarily in the crowd. The Walpole location has a younger crowd, where the Norwood location has a more mature crowd. It reminds you of "cheers" if that means anything to you. The menu is quite expansive. They have many options, and I would consider it to be typical "American fare". What they are really known for however, is their steak tips. It's all I get here. The steak tips are absolutely unparalleled, and you won't get them anywhere else as a result. They are perfectly marinated, and they come with your choice of sides, which are also very good. By the way, their salad is very good, so I definitely recommend that. Overall, the service and atmosphere is pretty decent. I've never had a bad experience, and it's just a good all-around casual restaurant to bring the families, or to stop for a beer to watch the game. read more

We visited from Fl with our family. we were 4 adults and 2 children. our dinner order was placed, 3 meals came with a salad. We hadn't even put our dressing on the salad when our meals appeared. I asked for the manager. She appeared 5 minutes later and asked in the aisle "who is looking for a manager". I told her our situation and she said "I'll take them back to the kitchen". My family said no they'll just put them under the lights. The manager " I tried to help you" and walked away. My thirteen yr old granddaughter said " wow she was rude". Love the food. Embarassed by the restaurant's management. read more

Getting really tired of this pay more get less economy, and very sad to see conrad's joining the crowd of restaurants screwing over their customers with this false advertising. Don't want to provide the 18" pizza you're advertising on your menu, fine, then don't advertise it as such. read more

We used to love coming here. Good good at decent prices. Lately, there is only a/c at one end if the building and the bar end is soooo hot. Also, the last several times we have been in there there has been a foul odor inside. The owner needs to add more a/c and take care of the smell or he'll lose business. read more

This was one of the worst meals I've ever had. It looked horrible and tasted bad. The appetizers were dry and tasteless, potato skins. The onion soup was too salty and didn't taste right and had hardly any broth. The croutons were a bunch of stale pieces instead of one big one. The Stuffed Shrimp was horrifying. I should have taken a picture of it. It was five shrimps on a plate with a tiny blob of what looked EXACTLY like feces plopped on each. Not a stuffed dish, just 5 shrimp sitting there on a plate with a tiny blob of dried up disgusting "stuffing" on them. You could see that the "stuffing" had been sitting on the shrimp, THEN they heated it up, since it was all crusty. This was so horrible, and I feel awful because I recommended going here and it was for my sister's birthday. read more

Excellent steak tips, everything was great. Steak tips are worth the trip. Nice updates restaurant, Friendly staff.

Conrad's is doing updates to inside the restaurant. Food was very good. Place was busy in early afternoon.

First visit, very impressed with the simple classy decor including the dark comfy bar and understated beige walls and furniture. Sat at a booth with it's own 19" tv ( didn't use but loved having that option.) Lemondrop martini was yummy and had a generous sugar rim. Turkey club hit the spot, stuffed sole for another member of group was delicious. Last member of party had the haddock sandwich, which he found very greasy. But we are all willing to return and try other menu options. Waitstaff were all friendly and prompt with drinks and refills. read more

I visited today for the first time for lunch after a hair appointment locally. Upon entry, there was an foul odor. It smelled to me like vomit. My husband and I decided to sit at the bar and ordered a drink. The bartender was very nice and attentive to us. We ordered the steak tip sandwiches, with fries. We found the prices to be good. I consider it pub food and have no complaints about it. I took 1/2 home as I really needed to leave due to the unpleasant smell of the restaurant. This place looks like a nice pub, and I really want to like it, but what...is...that...smell! I thought it was me but 1/2 way through our visit my husband said to me "What is that funky smell!" A lady came in doused in perfume and my husband said OK, now it smells better, lol! I would try another location but probably not this one again. read more

Conrad's is one of the better-known destinations for "Marinated Steak Tips" (or simply "Tips") in the Boston area. "Tips" are skewered kabobs of cheap beef that have been marinated for days and then grilled over an open flame so that the sweet marinade caramelizes with the charred meat, usually accompanied with slices of peppers and onions grilled on the same skewer. Marinated Steak Tips are a well-established part of Boston's micro-regional cuisine, a menu staple in most family-run American restaurants in the area that is as popular as Clam Chowder and Fenway Franks. It was thus surprising when I left the region that I found that "Tips" are not available elsewhere. I was not disappointed at all with Conrad's "Tips." The marinade is sweet without being distractingly so. Flap steak is usually a very tough cut of beef, but here it has been tenderized with the marinade such that the resulting "Tips" are easy to chew and eat. I was advised by my wonderful Brooklyn-born bartender to order them "medium," which seemed reasonable to me. This is not fancy meat, and if you could eat it and enjoy it medium rare like a more popular chop, you wouldn't be able to buy a pound of it and two sides for $15 like you can here. It's always fun to wonder about the "Steak Tips" marinades, well-guarded secrets of each of these restaurants local to Boston known for their steak tips. If I had to guess Conrad's recipe, I'd say it is principally based on a mixture of Coca-Cola, ketchup, and Italian Dressing - which is similar to how most places around Boston do it, and even one place way out in Southern California that has started to experiment with this: my kitchen. I also had the "French Onion Soup," which was decent for a starter - rather than one circular crouton, they use crouton cubes likely from a bag, which is a bit of a cheat - but I wasn't really here for the soup. Conrad's has two locations relatively close to each other - this well-lit restaurant in Walpole, and the original gloomier location in downtown Norwood, the latter of which is inferior in this diner's humble opinion. Conrad's menu is comfort food oriented, and although I'm sure they do other things well due to their reputation, nothing really jumped out at me as "must try" other than the Steak Tips. Staff are friendly and excellent, and are part of the reason I'm willing to drive a bit from where I'm staying in RI to dine here. Food-Décor-Service: 3.8/3.3/4.5 read more

As a long time frequent customer to witness the disturbing trend of loyal staff leaving in a short period of time due to the owner losing his bleep in public in the restaurant is more than concerning. The owner needs to understand the staff he drove out put money in his pocket. They got you through Covid showing up when no one else would. read more

I went here last week. I brought my father who currently lives in assistive living nearby. He was excited to get out and have a good meal. I read the yelp reviews and they all pointed to having Conrads steak tips. So dad and I each ordered steak tips. They were not at all what we hoped for. They had an overload of flavors, that weren't good together, so that we couldn't even taste the meat. We went on a Wednesday for lunch. We sat ourselves and our order was taken swiftly and the food came out shortly afterwards. Our waitress and put the bill on the table while we were finishing up but then never came back. I went looking for someone to pay and stood at the register. Eventually the bartender came from behind the bar to take my payment. Dad and I were very disappointed. read more

Food was excellent. I had their famous steak tips. Very tender. The marinade excellent. Had take out so cannot respond to service besides very hood takeout service. The restaurant is going through a Reno place looks great. read more

Absolutely the worst French onion soup I've ever had. Brown garlic water over hard as a rock croutons, not even hot.... like that mattered. Baked stuffed chicken as an entree not any better. The edges of the chicken were inedible. Mashed and green beans okay at best. Service.......meh. Trainee following server with a puss on her face. Oh yeah, she'll make a great waitress~ Zero attention to detail in this place. Zero pride in what they sling at you. Don't waste your money here. And BTW, WTF is the smell that hits you in the face when you walk thru the door? NEVER AGAIN read more

My steak tips were raw in the middle and I ordered them to be cooked medium. Here are the events leading up to this disappointing dinner: Our waitress came and took my table's order. 20 minutes later she came back and said "Please don't be mad at me, but I threw out your order slip." We were very forgiving and placed our orders again. Shortly after, our food was served to us by a young girl who was not our waitress. I received French fries on my plate when I had ordered mashed potatoes. The young girl seemed agitated by my kind request for mashed potatoes. When she came back with a side of mashed potatoes she harshly placed them on the table. When I said thank you, her response was, "yup" in a very rude tone. After being served our food and finally having my correct order, I cut into my steak tips and they were raw. Our waitress passed by our table 3 times, but never came over to check in and didn't notice me trying to signal her over. However, she was friends with the people at the table next to us, and she checked in on them multiple times. By the time she came, 28 minutes later, my friend was done eating and we were ready for the check. The waitress did give me a free dessert to go, and felt badly when she realized that she never checked in on us. I left without eating. I just don't understand how a place that is famous for their steak tips could serve them raw! read more

Went there last night was very dissappointed. 1. Wait staff standing at the back of the room huddled in a cubby watching me eat was annoying. 2. Ordered a Wedge Salad with Turkey Tips. What we got was some sliced tomatoes a piece of iceberg lettuce not a wedge and Turkey Scraps smothered in BBQ sauce. 3 No where in the menu does it say BBQ sauce no walnuts or raisins just kinda thrown together it seemed in a rush. 4. Asked the waitress about it she just shrugged and said yea the menu is alittle misleading. We have been there in the past and have notced the food going downhill Sorry but really dissappointed. read more

Great food, the steak tips are fantastic- never have any issues with the service or quality

I had a room rented for my mother's celebration of life and the blonde lady was so rude to me and my family. My mothers picture fell on the floor and we simply wanted to put it on the table but she yelled "I just cleaned that" rudely. I dont see why someone would get into the food industry to be impolite but I thought that was the least she could do since my mother died. The bartender was very polite though.The reason I am giving it two stars is because the food and drinks are good. read more

Ordered take out. Steak tips were chewy and fatty. French fries were cold and stale. Chicken piccata was so dry it couldn't be eaten. Very disappointed and will not return. read more

If I were giving stars simply based on our server, Lisa, it would be 10. She was patient, engaging and attentive, without being too much. The bartender stood in the open backroom chatting with another woman well past our noon arrival. There was no bar setup, so Lisa kindly sliced limes for our drinks. Another lovely young server came to the bar to help with Keno numbers. When the bartender finally deigned to grace us with her presence, still in her street clothes, she had a miserable scowl on her face. Glad we weren't having alcohol. The food was good, but the service from the waitstaff is the real draw here. Invest in a professional, pleasant and punctual bartender please! read more

Is it possible to give zero stars? Went here for dinner tonight against my better judgement as I've never had a great experience and the food is mediocre at best. We ordered our food almost immediately then sat there for 45 minutes just waiting. The waiter walked by so many times, never acknowledged us again and never even offered to refill our drinks. Finally I asked if the food would be out soon. He said he just checked in the kitchen and it was "emerging right now." Well, it never came. Finally we just got up and left. The waiter saw this happening and didn't have any explanation for why he lied about our food coming out. I let the manager know, he was apologetic but after waiting that long for food that never came it rang hollow. Needless to say this was the final straw which confirmed I will never have to eat here again or order takeout (which has always been disappointing as well.) So despite a terrible experience at least I know for sure to take Conrad's off of our list of places to eat forever (this goes for the Walpole and Norwood locations). read more
