Have had good experiences in the past, but went for lunch on 9/16 around 1:30 pm. Food was…read moreexcellent but service was terrible. There were several female servers and one male server and very few people in the bar area. The male server came and took out drink order in a reasonable amount of time. After that he didn't come back to take our order until I found him talking on his phone and got his attention. Once we ordered the food, it came out in a while reasonable amount of time and was very good, but the male server never came to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything else. We were pleased with the food but the service was very poor especially considering the fact that it wasn't very busy. Probably won't go back for a while if at all and wouldn't recommend.

Ordered and food delivered within 10 minutes, granted it was off hours, but we were pleased. My partner & I ordered some things to share. Buffalo wings were exceptional-crispy and a nice spice that had just the right amount of bite. Figgy Piggy with a burger. Insanely tasty. Burger cooked to perfection, fig jam gave it a nice sweetness, the bacon was really crispy, and the sourdough was perfect. Served with house made fries/chips that were a great accompaniment. Meatballs, where do I begin? First, we had to take them to go because we were already too full. 3 large meatballs in a cute cast iron skillet with a generous amount of marinara sauce and melted mozzarella. Served with 3 giant wedges of pizza to sop up that sauce or make a lil sandwich. Delicious, every last morsel. Highly recommend. Not a large menu which is refreshing and what they've chosen to serve is done with care from the kitchen. Cute bar area for cocktails too. Oh and the other great thing.... Kenny our server was a joy AND they have really nice and clean bathrooms.

Onion rings were in a nice batter, not frozen for sure. The coleslaw was refreshing. Our waitress, Amber, was very attentive, intuitive and great suggestions.

"On the Black Rock is where I spend my time Writing down…read morememories or writing my rhyme On the Black Rock is where I like to go After a long night, home from our show" (O.A.R.) I haven't reviewed much in Thomaston. I'm pretty sure the only entry I have was for the town's historical marker, and that was back in 2014. So, when my buddy and I ended up in Thomaston for a wake yesterday, that gave me a reason to add a second Thomaston review, courtesy of our lunch visit to the Black Rock Tavern and Restaurant. It's a quintessential neighborhood bar and restaurant conspicuously located on Main Street. It is set up in the typical way -with a sit-down dining room on the left and the bar on the right. Black Rock takes up a pretty large space because it also has a banquet room. We sat at the bar, grabbed two beers ($5 for a Naragansett and $8 for a Guiness) and chit-chatted with our friendly bartender Maureen before we checked out their food menu. Black Rock had very nice food choices, ranging from appetizers to salads to wings to mains to burgers to sandwiches. I decided on a BBQ Beef Quesadilla ($21) with braised beef, melted cheddar jack cheese, pico, salsa, sour cream and a small salad on two grilled flour tortillas. It was yummy and a pretty big portion, so two of the four wedges came back home with me. My friend ordered a BRT Smashburger ($18) with a $3 side of cole slaw. He must have really enjoyed it because he turned back an empty plate to Maureen. If you really enjoy neighborhood type bar/restaurants, you will definitely enjoy a visit to the Black Rock tavern.

For years I drove past Rozzi's not really sure what to make of it. The cow logo, which I loved,…read moreconfused me. Was it a diner? A burger/beef place (see logo)? Upscale? Greasy spoon? Let's just say I wasn't sure - so I avoided it. Went in tonight as I was dying for a simple burger and didn't want all the trappings of other places around from an investment standpoint. Boy, was I glad I did. I grew up in NJ - diners are a religion. This, to me, was a nicer (yet still casual and welcoming) diner. There's no neon and stainless steel to let me think it was a diner - but it's the best of a family-style restaurant and the diner we all know and love. Service was simply fantastic. Friendly, prompt, fun/funny. Atmosphere comfortable and not pretentious. Food: I had a simple cheeseburger and rather than fries, took them up on their offer for a small bowl of soup. All - exactly what I had hoped. Cook on the medium rare burger was clinically perfect. Meat to bun ratio was spot on. Hot, juicy. Terrific. Giving four stars in its category today as I want to dive deeper into the menu. I want to try their coleslaw, and pickles, and a chicken strip, fries, onion rings/straws before I hold it truly against a classic diner. But let's put it this way - I can't wait. Ps. Server said they change their specials 2x a day!!! Come for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Don't let the sign fool you

It was very good with the right spice. I also got the Dark and spicy which was a jalapeño infused blackberry margarita. It was a little on the bland side, not too spicy but it was okay. I ordered the Broadway which was slow roasted pulled pork, caramelized onions, smoked applewood bacon, bourbon peach bbq sauce served open face on southern style cornbread, crispy fried onions. The portions were HUGE and had more than enough to bring home. The cornbread got soggy quick, so I wasn't able to enjoy it. But I think it had jalapeños in it. Either was it was good before it got soggy They also gave the wing mural upstairs with plenty of space for line dancing, partying and having a great time. There is live music on the weekends but thankfully we had a low key time just playing the bingo they offered. One thing I was disappointed in was the transparency in the "free" dessert we were expecting. We were told that it doesn't happen when the check came.... Wish I would have known that BEFORE hand as I've never have anyone pay for a birthday dessert at any other restaurant I've been too. Don't expect everything free, but I guess this place doesn't do that for a special occasion Parking can be a pain and very limited. There is a lot further up the street within walking distance, but that is also somewhat small and not handicapped friendly

When we visited, there was no live music, but this venue is known to play live music. We visited on a Tuesday night and they had bingo starting at 7pm. As far as the food we ordered the following NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN 19$ CAJUN FISH SANDWICH 16$ FRIED PICKLE CHIPS 14$ PHILLY IN THE VILLE 20$ THE BROADWAY 18$ STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE-12$ Dark & Spicy cocktail for 12$ The Prime rib special for 30$ on Tuesday's Overall the food here was good. Just wished my sandwich (NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN ) wasn't as soggy. Staff here was super friendly. Also on a side note I told our waitress that it was my mother's birthday so she asked us what type of dessert she wanted . she picked strawberry. After dinner, a few staff came out and brought my mom her dessert and sung happy birthday, which was sweet. But I was under the impression that the dessert would be free for someone on their birthday but after seeing the check, noticed we were charged for it. I did ask the waitress about the charge and she said that she's been asking to have the manager/establishment take that off for a while but they haven't. Just wish that we were informed that we would be charged for the birthday dessert.

The service was 5 star from the moment we arrived Joe was not only the valet he also answer our first few questions and really represented the farm. The location was beautiful with lush green spaces and large vegetable gardens, unique cottages (for overnight stays) we started by taking a quick walk around - glad we showed up 45 minutes fly for our reservation. We then sat in the tavern and had two well made drinks, my wife loves a good French Martini and they made an excellent one. They the called us to the upstairs dinning room and sat us by the window overlooking the path down through the open space towards the Spa. The sun was setting at the tree tops. We decided to try the 4 course dinner instead of the 3 because all the dishes sounded so good we didn't want to skip any. Anthony took care of us but there were also others making sure we had everything we needed. I added pictures for each. The bread was fresh and tasty, shrimp cocktail and a whole radish with a nice dip, the salad was great with watermelon and plums, the game bird (can't remember the name) was perfectly cooked with fresh figs, the pasta starters were fantastic one with red sauce and sausage the other with a pesto sauce with pine nuts -yum. The main was a filet mignon perfectly cooked medium rare with creamy mashed potatoes and a delicious sauce. Finally the desserts were great, 1 chocolate mousse and one cheese plate. We splurged for our 31st wedding anniversary. It's that kind of place. What a special night.
