    Garrisons Turkey dinner

    First time going here for lunch with a friend. From what I saw portion sizes looked great! I love a good turkey dinner and so I went for it. Total disappointment!! Very obvious the stuffing was boxed. Everything other than the gravy was cold. Mashed potatoes had no flavor, if I didn't know any better I'd say they were boxed as well. Other than the seasoning on the skin of the turkey it wasn't flavor at all. Sadly the only appetizing item on my dish was the carrots. Looks can be very Deceiving, highly recommend not ordering this dish

    Went to Garrisons the other night. I had forgotten we have been there before and can't believe I have never reviewed. There is a big bar in one room and dining booths are in a separate room. I can't remember what I got the first time, but I do remember we split an Apple Crisp which was out of this world! It is made to order, and topped with ice cream and loads of whipped cream. We went again the other night. Sat at a cozy booth and ordered a Cosmo. The Cosmo came and something was off. Way off. So I asked the waitress to get me something else and she was happy to accommodate. The second drink was a fruity drink off the specials menu and was delicious. We ordered our entrees which came complimentary with soup. The soup was Turkey vegetable and hit the spot. I was in the mood for both steak and seafood, so I ordered the steak tips and baked scallops. I was a little leery of both as unless the menu says dry scallops you could end up with chemical tasting scallops, but I thought I would try anyway. I never order steak tips but didn't want to order the 14 oz strip steak as I would have never finished it. I asked for rice Florentine as a side. My steak tips were very good and scallops were excellent. I was really impressed with their "breadcrumbs" which were actually cracker crumbs which I prefer anyway over breadcrumbs. The rice was probably the best Florentine I have had. Flavorful, moist and delicious. My entree was very enjoyable and priced at $29.99. My husband got Chicken Parmesan with Penne and said it was very good. Price was $20.99. On our second recent visit, I ordered the same entrée as the first time. The scallops were as delicious as the first time but the steak tips were too well done. The rice was just as delicious as well. My husband got baked haddock which he said was fresh, flaky and delicious with a delicious cracker topping. We did receive bread the second time which is toasted bread with herbs on it. I would have preferred just plain bread as some of the pieces were pretty hard and were pretty hard to eat. We asked if they had the apple crisp and unfortunately, they did not. Maybe next time. All in all, a very, very good experience.

    Great haddock and scallops!!

    Came here with a friend who is a regular and had a great time! Got a table in the bar, people are playing Keno, its kinda loud and packed- food must be good! Ordered some cold beers and got an appetizer plate while we talked and decided on what to eat. My local friends ordered the eggplant parmesan -which was very tasty and more than he could eat, and she got the Atlantic Haddock. Both were huge plates- the eggplant parm was fantastic and the fish was as well. .I ordered the haddock with scallops and glad I did. Since I was craving lobster, the scallops were cooked perfect, and the haddock had a nice batter, tender, great white flakey fish. The side was a spinach rice which was buttery and rich- perfect for the dish. With the scallops, my plate was $20- a great value which even makes it better!! Service was on the spot, had quite a few Sam Adams and enjoyed the evening there. For a Thursday night, to be this packed, it has to be one of the go to places in the area. Glad we went, will be back on my next trip to Billerica. Highly recommend

    Just wanted to share a photo of what you get for $10.68 at Panera (pen for scale.)…read more Should I be surprised? No. "Everything costs more these days", right? Not gonna lie, the cream cheese was so small that at first glance I thought it had been forgotten...then saw the tiny thing at the bottom of the bag under the comparably small sandwich. Note to self: Next time go get a sangie and a tub of cream cheese at Market Basket for about $5 and pocket the change...or go to Pressed. My 3 stars will actually increase their current 1.7 rating, so good deed done for today.

The honey went out and picked it up and even I had specifically asked for no nuts on the salad had no problem getting that I changed the bread out on the sandwich because I can't eat their rolls too hard for my teeth. Everything went wonderful. It was so big that we only finished part of the half salad and all of the sandwich and we have enough salad for Tomorrow. We got the chicken bacon ranch grilled on sourdough and then we also got the strawberry poppyseed salad with chicken. It was delicious. Everything was just the right temperature was fully melted. Everything was top-notch. I haven't gotten regular food like that there in a long time and the lemonade was cold it was wonderful and they give us a separate cup of ice because he needs help to get the stuff because his hands aren't well so we were pretty excited. Everything went according to plan.

    I'm duke here! Been a regular here for quite some time. Quick food, nothing fancy, very good price…read moreand down to earth. Like the Hainan Chicken rice dish a lot.

    This! Been waiting…read morefor a HK-style cafe in Boston in ages. There have been half-@$$ed attempts in the past, but I wanted a more dedicated 茶餐廳 in these parts. Apparently, people agreed, as it was constantly swamped when Bayao opened. I came here a few times early on, when they were still getting their act together and did not offer take out. along with not serving breakfast. The restaurant seemed to have gotten some things straightened out. The offerings themselves are not bad, but it's a mixed bag. The fried chicken with egg omelet rice is popular and for good reason. The chicken is really crispy and the egg has a balanced texture to it (not too runny but not rock hard). I like their pineapple bun, with a crispy and sweet topping and a soft bun interior. Their 乾炒牛河 (beef chow fun) is decent, with good wok flavor and a generous portion. Their sizzling steak is a fun dish, but their portion (rice, veg, steak) is rather small. The milk tea is passable, though I've had more robust tea elsewhere (notably, LA and HK). Their curry beef brisket is not my favorite and is totally outclassed by Saigon Corner down-the-street. It's too sweet and there's not much curry flavor to it. Plus, it doesn't have any tendon, which doesn't impress me. The French toast here is thin, limp, and lackluster. It's basically toasted bread with some peanut butter on top. While the restaurant has a variety of red bean drinks, they don't have the genuine red bean ice (紅豆冰). That's like a pizza shop not having pepperoni as a topping. Service is decent and the wait staff can speak some English, if you need it. I may give breakfast a shot.
