Von Trapp and a Pomegranate Pineapple Margarita
Jay P.

I am always looking for hidden gems and came upon this one in Grafton. Located on a small side street, cut through, this place was a great find. Not very big, so reservations are recommended but not needed. As you walk in there is a U shaped bar with some high tops. They have a good selection of locals beers and many others on bottles. Their mixed drink selections had some really cool combinations and my wife loved her margaritas. A good size menu with nightly specials. We started with the crispy shrimp. They were on a bed of tasty coleslaw. Five decent sized shrimp cooked perfectly and a spicy dipping sauce. Wife then went with the "special" pizza of the night. A good size thin crust pizza with plenty of chicken, hot peppers and a creamy sauce. I went with the grilled cheese short rib sandwich. It was packed with short rib and toasted nicely. It came on a huge pile of fries that were obviously hand cut. If they hadn't charged us extra for a small cup of Ranch dressing for my wife, they would have been 5 stars. Either way this is a definite stop

Fantastic chicken sandwich, salad, and "just ten more" housemade chips.
Michael S.

Wow, how have I not reviewed Grafton Grill? My partner and I love this place. Every sandwich, salad, pasta dish, and appetizer we've had has been great, and the staff is always a pleasure to talk to. The cozy atmosphere is one of the things that brings us back again and again. If I had one bad thing to say it's that parking can be tricky if they're busy. With their limited hours, it can fill up. But I can't really fault them for the size of their lot or for being popular. Just get there early.

Side salad
Jessica P.

Very chic decor, minimalist, but so so cold. The food was pricey but very good so I was ok although we only got a burger and the panko chicken sandwich. Both had great flavor and the homemade dressings were good. Service was decent enough. The sour dill pickles were great, though.

Cesar salad

The service is beyond unacceptable. The waitress walked past us more times than I can count and did not acknowledge us at all. The food is fantastic but the service is not.

"Out of this world" ice cream pie
Metrowest Foodie M.

We love the Grafton Grill & Crust! Menu has something for everyone. The prices are reasonable, drinks are delicious, service is great. We always start with the mussels which are amazing! Pizzas are delicious and definitely big enough to split between two. The other night we ended with the homemade ice cream pie which was freaking awesome! Can't wait to go back.

Korean meatballs
AJ C.

Came in a few weeks ago and had a great time. The place was clean and the service was great. We got the Korean meatballs and they were excellent - though not entirely Korean, but I'll let it pass. Our sandwiches and dessert were delicious! The ice cream cake is something different altogether - it's like an ice cream pie and it's so unique. Really tasty! Good beer selection too.

Went here for dinner with my BF since we saw they serve movie theater popcorn as your free snack!…read more Food: I ordered the fish and chips and bang bang cauliflower, my bf ordered the classic burger (not pictured). The fish and chips were amazing! The tartar sauce was definitely homemade the fries have a nice crunch to them. The fish was fresh and was HUGE, I definitely took this home and it was still good as leftovers. The bang bang cauliflower was really well done, freshness of the lettuce/green onions was great and the cauliflower was not mushy. My bf enjoyed his burger but his favorite was the fries. Service: our waitress was great as well, she was attentive and always on it with refills. She was also very patient when we couldn't decide what to order! Ambiance: on the inside it's like walking into a log cabin, it's very clean and tall ceilings with the wooden theme inside. The booths are also huge if that's something you're looking for. Overall experience was a 4.7/5, the pricing was good, food was good, and great service. I will definitely come back to try some other dishes!

First timer visit to Ground Round in Shrewsbury. I got to say it didn't live up to my expectations…read more It was a recent Thursday evening; I walked in at 8pm and immediately had a bad feeling. First, the place was DEAD, aside from several patrons in the bar area; about the same in the dining room. I noticed the lighting was off, way off; it's like the kind hazy fluorescent lighting that gives you a migraine. Second, the music playing was barely audible; I would expect to hear really good nostalgic music from the 70s & 80s (you know what would make this place fun??? A JUKEBOX!!!). I ordered the Ground Rounder and was disappointed; I don't like cheese and it came with cheese; I wish the server asked if I wanted cheese; I know, I know, the description on the menu says it comes with cheese; my bad BUT I don't like cheese on my burger. I wish it came on a sesame bun or bulky roll; the pretzel roll just sucks IMHO. Also, please remember the old time Ground Rounder came with Steak Fries back in the day; today, this one comes with grease-sticks -- stubby reconstituted dehydrated potatoes formed to resemble French fries which wick the grease from the Fryolator, UGH! For the burger, I prefer lettuce, tomato and onion over cheese and bacon any day of the week. The service was good, which is the only reason I gave my review 2 stars. Overall, a disappointment, but with some tweaks it might have a chance. As is, it's not going to be around very long. Please please please rectify the suggestions outlined above and I'll reconsider coming back. I'm sorry, but until then I can't recommend to my friends.

Don't let the rough looks scare you away. They offer a great selection of food and don't skimp on the portions!

They also get quite busy at dinner time and on the weekends, so plan ahead.

Went last night for the first time in many years. Was so looking forward to the lobster roll. Surprised to see the price was almost double what it used to be and it was the most disappointing terrible lobster roll I think I have ever had. The lobster meat was frozen and it was soggy and completely tasteless. You could not have made a lobster roll any worse and believe me I have had many lobster rolls. The saving grace was the good french fries. I left close to a half a lobster roll which I never ever do and don't regret leaving it. Bring back the old owners recipe and bring your price down because that is uncalled for to have such a huge price for terrible lobster!! That is the price charged by lobster shacks on the water that serve fresh shucked lobster meat which is of course understandable.
