    Steak tips, not medium rare but well done :(

    The golf course restaurant has great food options, great drinks, is very reasonably priced and the patio has a lovely view. The fried pickles, onion strings, burger, salad (white balsamic is a fantastic dressing!) and chicken sandwich are all delicious. The steak tips have potential, but after ordering them twice, I still haven't gotten them the temperature I ordered. I mean does this look medium rare? It's well done! That's a huge and very disappointing difference, and if these were actually medium rare they would've been quite tasty. Unfortunately this was takeout so I couldn't passive aggressively line them up on my plate to illustrate how overcooked these were. I'll try once more, but they might be getting a meat thermometer from a secret Santa.

    Lobstah Cobb Salad!

    We arrived at 7pm on a Friday night and met by a friendly hostess who escorted us to a small dining area overlooking the golf course and patio dining area. We started with spinach and artichoke dip which was excellent (but perhaps needed a bit more salt) I opted for the lobster Cobb salad and my girlfriend went for the shrimp scampi. Both dishes were creative, flavorful and well executed. Service was courteous and attentive and the price was reasonable. My only complaint was that by 8pm the small dining area had become quite busy and the noise level made it difficult to have a conversation with my lovely date. With two sangrias the bill came to $53.

    Food is excellent. Waitresses not attentive. They spend too much time talking to each other.

    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.
