    Baby back ribs with wilbur beans, cornbread muffin and mac & cheese.
    Robert W.

    We always have Famous Dave's to go at least several times a month. Every meat is smoked and cooked to perfection. The sides are always great in flavor and taste. Highly recommended and is recognized as one of the best barbecue places around.

    Burnt cornbread
    R W.

    This right here is unacceptable. This pan of cornbread should have been thrown out and remade. It should not have been served to customers.

    Apple pie!

    Diana's service was exceptional. Always there when we needed her and super friendly. Sounds silly but the free cornbread is my favorite!!

Thank the Lord we were only a few doors down, we never would have made it in our heels. My reservation that I made changed 3 times, only to add more people to our reservation that same day. Never once did they complain or state that they could not accommodate us. Once we all trickled in, it was about 18 people. Our tables were ready. I believe our waitress name was Jude, but nonetheless, she definitely was a jewel. She informed us that they were short staff, but she would take our orders. She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point. Sorry no pictures, by the time we thought about it, you would've just had pictures of empty plates.

It was our first Finney's Crafthouse experience and they set the bar high for other locations. Everything from the food to the service was 5-stars. We came in on a Sunday during brunch time and they were busy. The staff from the host/hostess stand to our server handled the craziness with professionalism and efficiency. Service did not waiver which made for an overall good meal with the family on Sunday Funday. The Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont is located on Harvard Avenue. As noted above, we came in on a Sunday around brunch/lunch time which also coincides with the Claremont Farmer's Market. As a result, parking was a little bit of a challenge and limited, though not to any fault of Finney's. There were several things that were intriguing on their menu, but ultimately, we ended up ordering the - Cheesesteak Egg Rolls - A5 Wagyu Burger - Pastrami Reuben I am not lying when I saw that everything that touched down on our table was delicious. The Cheesesteak Egg Rolls set the perfect tone to our meal with a generous amount of cheesesteak, crispy shells, and the perfect sauces for dipping to complement the appetizer. The Wagyu burger was excellent. We ordered the larger basket of fries to share which were fried to perfection. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Pastrami Reuben. The food at Finney's Crafthouse in Claremont was outstanding. We would definitely visit again in the future when in the area. If you are reading this review trying to decide if you should give them a try, the answer is yes!

    Stopped into this Irish pub and was impressed by how smoothly everything ran. The bartender was…read moreholding down the bar and the tables, and still managed to keep service warm, quick, and genuinely attentive. The menu is on the smaller side, but the food is surprisingly good simple dishes done well, with that cozy pub comfort you hope for. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it an easy spot to settle in for a drink and a bite. A solid neighborhood pub with great service.

    We decided to check out Limerick's Tavern for St. Patrick's Day since it's local and we've heard…read moreit's kid-friendly. Big disappointment overall. When we called ahead, no one mentioned they were only serving a limited St. Patrick's Day menu today. Nothing from the regular menu was available. My daughter ended up eating plain fries the whole time because there wasn't a single kid-appropriate option. It felt misleading after being told it's family-friendly when we called prior to coming. The place was packed. The line was out the door, and we had a long wait. Inside was uncomfortably hot and stuffy too. I was eyeing the Cottage Pie but asked the server about peas (not a fan), and she said it might have a lot, so I passed. My wife ordered it instead since she doesn't mind peas and surprise, zero peas in it. She said it was just okay, nothing special, so I guess I didn't miss out. I went with the Irish Nachos instead. They were fine, but the house-made potato chips were underwhelming. Crispy but not flavorful. The standout was the lemon pepper wings. Those were actually really good. Green beer was a fun thematic touch too. Atmosphere is lively for the holiday, but for a regular visit or even future St. Patrick's Day? Probably not coming back. If you're planning to go on the big day, brace for crowds and waits. And for fun, here's a limerick summing it up: There once was a pub in Upland so grand, For St. Paddy's we joined hand in hand. But the menu was slim, Kid options were grim, Just fries for our lass, what a bland! The heat made us sweat, lines out the door, Cottage Pie? "Peas maybe." We weren't sure. No peas in the end, Wife said "meh" my friend, Nachos were fine, wings we adored. Green beer was cool, but that's all the cheer, Average at best, won't return here. Three stars is the call, For the holiday thrall. Fun once, but not every year!
