    House salad
    Elizabeth R.

    Solid salads with cheap drinks! Full of crispy vegetables and I appreciated how fresh it all was. Clearly good romaine and cukes. Also tried the chilli and pasta and meatballs. Chilli was actually very good. Meatballs were avg!

    The food was great and filling! We went after a splendid your of Williams College! A great little place with amazing customer service and food! We had the BBQ chicken wings, the Corned Beef Waffle Fries, and I had the Chicken Parm Pub

    Cajun burger with no bun.

    I am always looking for a good burger. Our old favorite restaurant (was the best burger in town) was sold to a new owner and the food went down hill. We came here because the owner used to work for our old favorite burger place and want to try their food. We both order burgers and chicken wings. All good but could be better. The burger was cooked perfectly but it's not as juicy as I would like it to be. Not sure what ratio of fat is in their ground beef. Chicken wings were crispy but could use a little more flavor like more garlic parm. The beer was good. They have a good selection. Water is city water I really don't like the taste of it but not their fault. Service was good we got our drinks and food in a timely fashion. If you are looking for a quick bite it's okay.

Flavor on the food was just lacking. Even the Vermont cheddar cheese was bland and only a whisper of sharpness. The home made chips good but lacked anything special. The true problem of this place is the ownership/management. We went there little after it opened. To see a table with a 5 gallon bucket of utensils and servers doing their side work on a table you have to walk past to get to anywhere in the seating area. Then we come to the management/owner. My biggest pet peeve is doing the books or daily paperwork in the guest area. You have an office or a place away from your guests. Not in full view and with in ear shot of your guests. And not in a place where sound carries. The BIGGEST complaint is the language. You are the leader of your staff. You set an example for the behavior and attitude of your staff. Dropping F-BOMBS and other vulgar language is not at anytime acceptable. Clearly the servers knew it and didn't thankfully follow your lead. This is NOT your buddies garage or basement. You are having people come in and hearing your language and seeing and clearly hearing your behavior I can not recommend going here. If it was based on food maybe. But clearly the ownership and leadership will keep me away from here. Such potential wasted by such poor work ethics.

We lucked out when we arrived and snagged the last open booth. Service was quick, with our drinks and food arriving fast, and I loved seeing a selection of hot sauces right on the table. Not pictured is the cinnamon roll we split because it was too good to wait for a photo. The Texas burrito and chili got rave reviews from my dining partner, and my omelette was solid, though interestingly assembled. The fillings were layered rather than chopped and mixed throughout. Once I cut it all together, the flavor came through nicely, and the home fries were great. We'll definitely be back, and I'm already eyeing a few other dishes to try next time.

Most of it was stringy, they offered only potatoes as a side, and "whatever the chef decides on a particular day." My husband's filet mignon was overcooked and dry, his potatoes lukewarm, and scallops overcooked. He told the waitress who offered to take the scallops - not the entire plate. The manager came over to apologize and asked my husband if he'd like to try anything else but he was too disappointed and lost his appetite. He explained that we were celebrating our anniversary but the woman didn't care to acknowledge it. After all that, the waitress returned and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu without apologizing about our meal. Very unprofessional. We declined, paid the check, and left the bare minimum tip, which we never do. We don't blame the waitress for the food, but for her service technique and disinterest in her patrons' needs. Oh, they didn't charge us for my husband's meal but lacked the courtesy to tell us in person. Needless to say, despite the charming atmosphere, excellent salad bar, and incredible appetizers, we will not return. Maybe the chef had an off night, but what excuse did the staff have?

I took it for granted living back in CA but as I sat…read morethere with our group of 16 - you gotta thank these chain restaurants.   Huge shout out to the staff that helped us out on Sunday - we were not an easy group (mostly for size, I'd like to say weren't difficult in customer service way)   I ordered (me and for the table): Chips and dips (if you have a free account, you get this for free) I like how salty and thin chips are - salsa has teeny spice Triple dipper (we got the mozz sticks, the Nashville crispers, buffalo wings) I like the mozz sticks, definitely heavy even for half of the cheese. Crispers were a little stringy and buffalo wings were also a little tough Quesadilla (chicken and bacon) Pretty huge portion, 8 slices, good to share with someone, pretty heavy to eat though Overall, pretty good portion for price point but the food itself is just...beige and fried. So, don't eat here that regularly but I enjoyed my experience

    It's Chili's. Do we expect anything more or less?…read more I've only order takeaway from them a few times, and bc it's near the hotel. They seem busy all the time. Feel like there aren't many option of places to grab dinner around here so Chili's might be a good solid spot. I think I've only eaten Chili's once in the city, and wasn't great. Very diner style food. You'll have your standards burgers, wings, but added an Americanize version of Mexican influence food like quesadillas and taco bowls (which I am absolutely sure Chipotle does it better). So... tried their boneless buffalo bites (horrible, tough to chew on), bacon cheeseburger (decent, as expected), and they gave me free bag of chips & salsa (greasy chips - didn't eat it). I think I've the sliders last time and it was super dry. Had a Philly cheesesteak during one of my other visit and it does not travel well - (so eat in for this one). Bottom line, if you can't go through Chipotle's drive through, or any drive through... then this is your safe bet.
