Really, really delicious. Bacon cheeseburger with fried egg on top - excellent fries. Significant other got veggie pizza. Both delicious. Have not been here for years. It got busy as basketball playoffs were on at the bar but regardless, it's a cozy spot. Food really good and we were not rushed.

We had a great time on Saturday when we happened upon Four Square Restaurant. They were hosting a Kentucky Derby Party that we had no idea about. When we first arrived, it was very quiet but as the race grew closer, the restaurant became very crowded. We ordered some mozzarella sticks for apps, which were excellent. We then had a grilled chicken sandwich, cheeseburger and veggie sandwich. I had regular fries and the other two ordered waffle fries. All the food was excellent. My chicken sandwich was particularly delicious! My daughter is still raving about the waffle fries! Service was solid, even though it was very busy and the crowd was focused on the Derby! I liked the neighborhood feel that I felt. It was obvious to me that everyone knew each other, which was cool. I gave 5-stars because of the food, atmosphere and solid service! If I lived in the Braintree area, I would definitely visit often.

Ended up here after the place I was hoping for turned out being closed for lunch. I have to agree with some of my fellow Yelpers. This is not a foodie destination, but a neighborhood hangout. Go in with some people, order drinks or shots (shots written on the wall sounded interesting) and get food to not drink on an empty stomach. I had to drive later that day, so it was just food for this time. Ordered the Four Square Burger cooked medium (with cheddar), and waffle fries as a side. Waffle fries were very good! They were cooked very nicely and didn't require additional salt or pepper (though I add pepper to literally everything). One note: they had a light taste of wonton, not sure if intentional or not. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining.) The burger was a miss for me, primarily because it was over-cooked. A tiny amount of pink and juice, and everything else was well done. The meat appears seasoned, but rather lightly for my taste (compounded by being overdone). As for the egg: I'm not sure if they were going for over hard... usually burgers include a runny egg that ties ingredients together. Veggies were certainly there, but I personally like them just a little more pronounced (possibly compounded by the burger's size.) This thing was massive! Meat, bacon, and the wonderful golden and gooey cheddar were not skimped on! The service was excellent, and the location was superbly clean. (Full disclosure, I think I was one of the first people in that day). I don't see myself returning for food, but might meet a friend for a drink when the current situation allows.

Prime rib and Mashed Potatoes - ordered medium but tasted medium rare

The buffalo chicken, truffle Mac and cheese is very good! Atmosphere of the restaurant is tranquil, casual bar feel (in the afternoon). Menu is classic, comfort American food. Had the nachos as well which was OK, but the chicken was slightly burnt and the bottom of the nachos are dry as the ingredients are only stacked on top.

Buffalo mac and cheese...amazing!!

My rating out of 10: 8 Four Square has a cool pub atmosphere that I can imagine can be a bit chaotic and noisy during peak, but it was great for a late lunch. I had the buffalo mac and cheese, and it was off the chain good! Their four cheese blend is super creamy and flavorful, and the buffalo chicken throughout kicked it up quite a few notches, making for a fairly spicy dish, especially for the Boston area. It also had tomato and spinach throughout, rounding out one of the tastier mac and cheeses I have had in quite some time. There are lots of beers on tap to choose from, and many other choices besides mac and cheese, many of which looked amazing as they came out to other tables. I will definitely be back!

Food from reopened restaurant...so disappointing compared to the original, we don't be back

I am so sad to see what had become of my favorite local restaurant. Four square had amazing food. The menu was very unique with an Italian flare, I enjoyed everything including the pizza and the four square sandwich. Each menu option was a step above basic and we returned week after week. We visited a few weeks ago with high hopes and were quite disappointed. The menu is basic to say the least. Had the calamari that came with blue cheese and carrots and celery...it wasn't buffalo. My husband had a burger that looked like a smaller burger than a McDonald's burger microwaved. He was very disappointed given his love for the burgers at the old Four Square. I had a bar pizza which was nothing to write home about, didn't compare to any legendary bar pizzas in the area. I'm impartial to their old pizza as bar isn't my favorite but this bar pizza was subpar at best. Again, the menu is basic. 'Burger', 'chicken sandwich', 'pretzel', 'basket of fries' etc. it's missing that step above that used to be. One other comment is that I feel it's missing it's identity. Is it a bar or is it a restaurant? It's too small to be a bar but only had about 5 tables, all high tops so it's not family friendly anymore. I'm not rushing back, as sad as it makes me. I'll give it a few months and hope for improvements.

Coolest donuts Eva! Great place! Good staff! So fun to pick out fancy huge donuts! A little pricey,…read morebut well worth it!

We walked into a space with an old-school feel that still kept things fun, with colorful decorations, themed donuts, and custom creations displayed throughout the shop. The room had a warm, inviting energy with a steady flow of regulars coming in for their morning coffee and donuts, and the display case was filled with rows of generously sized pastries that made it hard to choose just one. It felt like the kind of local bakery that has something for everyone. The donuts are the main attraction, with a menu that includes both traditional favorites and more elaborate specialty options. We ordered a few and found the classic glazed, jelly-filled, Boston cream, and coconut donuts made fresh daily and noticeably larger than what you will find at most chain shops. Alongside the classics, the bakery regularly releases seasonal and holiday-themed donuts that are decorated with impressive attention to detail, making them just as fun to look at as they are to eat. One of the things that sets Donut King apart is its custom donut cakes and special event orders. Instead of a traditional cake, they can create large donut displays and personalized designs for birthdays, baby showers, and other celebrations. The decorations are creative, and the staff are often willing to accommodate custom requests, making it a popular option for special occasions. The drink menu complements the bakery well, with specialty lattes, coffee, and refreshing seasonal beverages that pair nicely with the donuts, making it an easy place to stop for a quick breakfast or coffee break. The staff are consistently friendly and welcoming, helping create the neighborhood atmosphere that keeps many customers coming back. While the shop can get busy during mornings and weekends, service generally moves quickly despite the crowds. The team moved through orders with efficiency, and the donuts came out fresh and well presented. Overall, Donut King is a great choice if you are looking for fresh, generously sized donuts with plenty of variety. Between the classic recipes, creative seasonal offerings, custom donut cakes, and welcoming atmosphere, it stands out as one of the better local bakeries for both everyday treats and special occasions.

I would agree with previous reviewers that chips ate really good but that's where my compliments end. Nachos had tons of crema but not a lot of melted cheese along with some pieces of hard and tasteless hard beans and pico in some places. I went with one of the specials - butternut squash and black beans quesadilla. I asked for the sauce on the side. When it arrived, it looked like 4 pieces of thin tortillas so I opened to see what was inside and it had very little inside. The butternut squash was drowned in oil and the beans were again hard and tasteless. There wasn't a lot of cheese or any other fillings you would expect from a quesadillas. Service was good and our server checked with us and refilled our drinks. Place has a bar area that was somewhat empty for a Friday night and they had a game playing on the big screen tv. Bathroom seemed somewhat messy.

This was our first time eating lunch at Ironwood Hingham at the South Shore Country Club…read moreThe food and service were wonderful and we can't wait to go again to try more of their dishes! We started with the house-baked bread sampler that was served with honey butter and a delicious "nest" of hummus and an appetizer of honey roasted carrots on a bed of farro. We then shared the Salmon Poke Bowl that was so fresh and flavorful and a spring pasta dish of lemon cream, fresh tomatoes, arugula with lots of cheese. There were so many items on the menu we'd like to try but their baker makes such incredible bread that we ordered another plate! Cheers to chef/owner Tina Conte and her team. Also, the view from the dining room looking out at the golf course is really pretty, even on a rainy day and the decor of the restaurant is comfortable and inviting for spending a slow lunch enjoying great food.

We were seated within a few minutes of arriving, which was nice. Our server was great - greeted us right away and went through the specials for the evening. We started with drinks - my cosmo was delicious (nice that it comes in the shaker and she poured it at the table), and bread. The corned bread was ok - it came with plenty of butter. On to the entrees - I had the chicken picatta, which was good, and came with a generous portion of linguini. My friend had the steak tips (on the specials menu) which came with broccolini and mashed potatoes. Trivia was a lot of fun - more old school style of writing answers and point wagers on paper for each round, and bringing it up to the quiz master. We will definitely be back for trivia, and dinner, again soon!
