I also realize that everything is made from scratch. But I don't know of any establishment that makes grilled cheese sandwiches ahead of time. Those are always made upon ordering, and it doesn't take over 45 minutes. This place can't handle live customers. They may be good with take-out, but every restauranteer knows the cardinal rule: you take care of the live customers first.

This place absolutely lives up to the hype!…read more We stopped in on the way to Burlington for southeastern Massachusetts. We actually even stopped on the way back. It was so good. Of course, we went for the mac & cheese. We were surprised at how much other stuff they had, like fresh, baked goods, a deli, prepared foods and an amazing dessert case! They have tables next-door at the store that you can sit out and eat your food out. It has cute little gifts and local food items that you can buy. We had the mac & cheese on the way up and on the way back, bought more mac & cheese, some kale slaw, and some fresh made deli sandwiches. My sandwich was great, my wife got tuna and I will say they could've added a little more for the price. The rancid was rancid so I actually threw it away and didn't get to try it. Everyone was great from the guy who checked us out to the Deli person who made our sandwiches. If this is on your way, definitely stop in, you won't be disappointed.

New year, new review…read more Popped in after a morning of skiing New Year's Day and place was packed for lunch! I didn't mind as I was in no rush. As I waited in line I enjoyed conversations with both the people in front and behind me whom all have never been before. The joy and excitement on their faces as they made their way to order was priceless. As for myself, a small mac to help start the new year strong for total lbs sold (81k in 2024) and a small pulled pork. Wanted to order some other things but my refrigerator is full at home, so another time. If this will be your first time, just be aware of parking could be very busy as there's not much. Both ways before pull out of parking spaces as well. Main road can be a cluster at times. I also recommend getting lots of little things rather than a little of a lot. You can always come back for more!

I hadn't expected to find an excellent take-out kitchen in the Irving gas station in Rindge, but…read moreit is there. Hiraeth Place is a modest-looking small kitchen with an impressively large menu of sandwiches, salads, wraps, soups, etc., and desserts including brownies and cheesecake. On my first visit I got the "Naked Gun" turkey sandwich-- on fresh bread with real turkey (not deli sliced turkey). Delicious. Also a rich, savory and creamy Hungarian Mushroom soup, packed with mushrooms. Then on the second visit, a caesar salad, tossed and dressed on the spot, and for dessert a rich and delicious slice of cheesecake. Then later, a chewy chocolate brownie. Everything was first rate. Try it. Highly recommended!

Located inside of the back of the Irving gas station/convenience market at the US 202/NH 119…read moreintersection in Rindge, Hiraeth Place opened in January 2025 and operates an open kitchen serving up a variety of signature grilled cheese sandwiches, hot pressed paninis, deli sandwiches/wraps, salads, & desserts. I stopped by Hiraeth Place very recently for takeout. I ordered two sandwiches to go including the French Onion Grilled Cheese ($7.50 plus tax) and a Pastrami Sandwich ($9 plus tax). Both sandwiches were prepared hot and fresh to order and ready to go in 7 minutes. I enjoyed my two hot pressed sandwiches out in the vehicle. The hot pressed French Onion Grilled Cheese had provolone, gruyere, caramelized onion jam between buttered slices of brioche. The sweet and savory flavors hit the mark. The hot pressed Pastrami Panini had thin slices of deli pastrami, dijon, gruyere, pickled onion between crisp slices of marble rye. This sandwich was also very good. I will definitely have to try some of their other hot sandwiches like their tuna melt, spicey boi grilled cheese, & buffalo chicken wrap on the next visit.

Captain Jack's Roadside Shack is the kind of seasonal seafood spot that attracts attention the…read moremoment the food starts coming out of the kitchen. We walked up to a casual outdoor seating area with picnic tables set alongside the road, giving it the laid back atmosphere of a New England seafood shack where the focus is entirely on generous portions and classic seafood favorites rather than anything overly polished. The setup is simple and relaxed, making it an easy stop for a casual lunch or dinner during the warmer months. The lobster roll is the clear highlight here. The portion was surprisingly large for the price, packed generously and substantial enough to feel like a full meal on its own. The lobster was the star of the sandwich, and the overall value stood out given how expensive lobster rolls have become across Massachusetts. We also ordered the fish and chips, which came with an equally generous portion size, though the fish was a little drier than expected. While it was still satisfying, it lacked some of the moisture and flakiness that would have made it more memorable. What stands out most is the portion to price ratio. Nearly everything coming out of the kitchen is oversized, which helps explain why the restaurant has built such a strong reputation as a destination for seafood in the area. The food leans toward hearty and filling rather than refined, and the experience works best when you arrive hungry and ready for a substantial meal. Service moved efficiently despite the steady crowds, and the casual outdoor setting kept the experience relaxed. For anyone looking for a classic roadside seafood stop in Western Massachusetts, Captain Jack's delivers generous portions, solid seafood, and a lobster roll that easily justifies the visit.
