What I liked: - A great place to watch a game - Great selection of beers on tap. - Food is reasonably priced. - Free Wi-Fi - Loads of free parking What to be aware of: - You have to order at the bar to get drinks - They only take cash, no credit cards.

The most awesome burger and Jack's Abby Post Shift Pilsner ever

I grew up in this town and this place was always the one that you went to when you didn't want to shower before going out to have a few cold ones. That part really hasn't changed - however the food is great - better than great actually. Order your food at the bar - if you can get the bartender(s) to make eye contact that is - suggest bringing a wrist full of rubber bands to shoot at her.... Jack's Abby Post Shift or the Lager are excellent with the burger - steak and cheese (panini or sub) - or the wings with the combo sauce that's so bad sounding it leaves you wanting more (buffalo with italian and parmesean cheese) Their take out is great - portions are so big you can split with a friend.... CASH ONLY MY FRIENDS..... ATM located on premesis. Give this place a try for lunch or a quick take away - you will not be disappointed.

While visiting a friend's parents for the weekend, they took us to their regular Friday night spot - Cornell's. They love how close it is to their house and the great service they receive as regulars. I'm a fan of a dive bar, so I was excited to give the place a try. We initially sat outside because it was beautiful out. We order a round of drinks and then placed our food order shortly after. I found the service to be a bit slow, it felt like we wait an eternity for our food to arrive. In reality it was around 45 minutes. The place was not packed, so I'm not sure what the hold up was there. The food was good, especially for a dive bar! My friend and I split one of the specials - a garlic parm chicken panini. That was delicious! We also had some wings in a sauce recommended by our server - some kind of sweet and slightly spicy BBQ sauce. We went the boneless route (really just chicken tenders) while others at the table got bone-in buffalo wings. Now, the main event (for both good and bad reasons) was the cocktails. These were STRONG. I can appreciate a strong cocktail, especially for $8. I'd lean more on the side of something that tastes like a double when I comes to the amount of alcohol I want to consciously taste in my drinks. These felt like triples. Cost effective? Absolutely. Easy to drink? Not so much. I had three drinks, I started with the Watermelon Margarita which had muddled watermelon but it also had sour mix which I do not enjoy in a marg. Others at the table ordered the same and there was a lack of consistency in the taste between each one. Some were darker in color and tasted better. A few were not able to order another cocktail after this one... I went on to try the strawberry lemonade. That was MUCH more tolerable and so that is how I ended up having three cocktails. This resulted in my being very drunk and having a pretty nasty headache the next day. My friend was in the same boat, having had three cocktails and feeling bad in the morning. We eventually moved our party inside because we learned, after opening the lid of a trashcan near our table, that it was infested with mosquitos and we had released them. We were being eaten alive. The staff easily accommodated us inside and continued to provide great service. Overall, go in with the expectation that this is in fact a dive bar. But a dive bar with great food! Oh and STRONG drinks.

Great burgers! Good dive bar. Bar has a few softball fields behind it, so during the summer there is often the crowd of players

Don't even think of going here if you are from out of state.... they will not serve you if you don't have a Massachusetts license.

There is a significant service and management problem at this restaurant. My family and I went for…read moreSt Patrick's Day, as we have before. We asked the manager for some napkins to prop up the wobbly table and he said (quote) "Why don't you tell your kid not to stand on his chair" and walked away. The kid in question was literally sitting in his chair with one foot against the table. We explained to the manager the impact of what he said, and gave him multiple opportunities to apologize. We get it: its St Patrick's Day in an Irish bar and it's stressful. But instead of recognizing that he snapped: he doubled down and tried to convince us that his language fine, and that we were in the wrong for calling him out. I even talked with him an hour later, after it had cooled off, and he continued to be aggressive and dismissive. A bad manager is one thing. But our server didn't acknowledge the awkwardness (even as other families watched in shock), just trying to rush us out. The food was probably the worst it's ever been at Stone's, which raises questions of why. It's understandable to have a bad day, it's *not* ok to set the tone for your staff and establishment that berating your customers, unprompted, is acceptable.

The muscles were good and it was a great portion for one of their smaller plates. The broth at the…read morebottom of the bowl was a bit salty for my taste.

Went last night for the first time in many years. Was so looking forward to the lobster roll. Surprised to see the price was almost double what it used to be and it was the most disappointing terrible lobster roll I think I have ever had. The lobster meat was frozen and it was soggy and completely tasteless. You could not have made a lobster roll any worse and believe me I have had many lobster rolls. The saving grace was the good french fries. I left close to a half a lobster roll which I never ever do and don't regret leaving it. Bring back the old owners recipe and bring your price down because that is uncalled for to have such a huge price for terrible lobster!! That is the price charged by lobster shacks on the water that serve fresh shucked lobster meat which is of course understandable.
