The food is the ONLY redeeming quality. Unfortunately the burgers are freaking great. Otherwise, the waitstaff was surly and disinterested, the decor drab, and the presence of Keno attracts a certain je ne sais quois of boozy locals. Will I be back?! Absolutely, because the Beast burger might be the best burger within a 50 mile radius. read more

Bartender let me sit at the bar for 15 minutes. never offered anything not even a menu, She was very busy and alone but found it ok to leave the bar foe keno customer that walked in the door. The service always seems very poor and this wasn't the first time. Many people at the bar were being ignored, I walked out and past her as she played keno for customers and she could have cared less. went to another restaurant. The last time I stop here read more

Like others before me, I've read several so - so reviews about this restaurant. However, I decided to give it a try on a Saturday afternoon. I can understand why many folks have an issue with the service. It simply isn't welcoming or overly friendly. It seems to me that this has something to do with the young service staff that is not pressured to provide over-the-top customer service. Ultimately this has more to do with the owners then with the wait staff.With that out-of-the-way, I have to say it is one of the best hamburgers I've ever had in my entire life. The french fries were scalding hot and crispy and way too good.It was simply fantastic and I will definitely go back for the food with a reasonable expectations about service. My recommendation would be to go during a slower time, avoid the rush. read more

Our first visit and it won't be our last. The menu is loaded with endless possibilities (OK, so it's not actually endless, tonight there were 95 different burgers). The staff are friendly and the food is fantastic. Don't miss it! read more

Hostess needs a lesson in customer service. Went in tonight and she was rude immediately instead of welcoming. Should have left but many friends were meeting there so chose to stay. Big mistake. Hamburger was not cooked as requested. Waitress dropped drink off but wasn't sure it was the right one. Was rushed to get out even though there was no one waiting for a table. Won't be going back. read more

I will not go back there. Was not told by server when seated that cash was only accepted. I was forced to use ATM in lobby which charged you a fee for a less than mediocre meal. read more

I've seen this restaurant on tv dining shows and was going by so stopped in to give it a try. It left a lot to be desired. There are indeed 97 choices of burger combinations, however some are just varied by 1 ingredient (a ranch sauce instead of a terriaki for instance) and others are actually chicken not burgers. I made the mistake of ordering the special appetizer of fried green beans which was about a half cup of frozen product. Flavorless and bad. And $10 is a lot for a very small amount straight out of a freezer bag. The burger was average in flavor. They did get my "medium" right so kudos there- but overcooked my husband's by far. The fries were very hot which is important to me but again, a frozen product and flavorless. The server was very friendly and attentive. The ambiance? No. Not kitschy enough to be a dive bar- just ugly. Basic food, was just ok. Not the place I am rushing back to for a really great burger. read more

Great burgers ! Love the fried pickles. Good sports bar atmosphere. Brittany was very friendly and a great bartender. Definitely be back to try the other 97 burgers. read more

Great burger and beer selection. Nice staff and reasonable prices keeps us coming back.

Great pub food! Not typically in the area but my friend and her family love the place and their Nacho Burger! Would recommend for a cheap and fast lunch/dinner read more

Pub 97 - Caesar Salad Wrap! Yum! - Bars Near Me - Groveland, Massachusetts

We have been customers of pub 97 for several years not anymore after our experience tonight. We ordered food only to have the kids dinners brought out and then waiting for over a half hour before asking the owner where my husband's and my dinner was. She was not apologetic even defending the waitress who never came over to see how things were or to refill our drinks. After waiting another 15 minutes after complaining the owner brought our dinners out and then said to us "we are having a bad night it happens, what do you want me to say sorry. I'm sorry what else do you want me to do. I'll comp the kids grilled cheese." Then she walked away. The waitress came over and brought the check. When she came back with the receipt to sign, I told her I couldn't even eat the burger because it was so well done and that was not how I ordered it. Her response was oh thank you. We go out to eat a lot and this is the last time I will eat at pub 97. The owner acted like we were inconveniencing her and her staff. I will let everyone know the extremely poor service we received tonight. read more

The food here is awesome!!! I love the pizza. I saw the phantom gourmet special and decided to check it out. No joke, I drove from Dover NH to see this 97 burger selection.. It, yes, is just what I hoped for! Comfort food heaven! My wife got the east side burger and we also split a Bacon Blue Cheeseburger pizza(a lot of take home). The pizza is a god send for pizza lovers! Lastly, the waitress that served us was very sweet. Thank you mam for the amazing pizza and wonderful service. Just like the phantom gourmet said, this place is "a hidden jewel"! read more

Food is not special. My chicken parm was very tough and the sauce was OK. I was not pleased to have paid $3.00 for one little 6 inch piece of garlic bread. Basic mixed drinks are good. Draft beers taste funny. read more

Will never be eating here again! First the servers and bartender were rude! Second they got half our order wrong! And lastly about an hour after dinner my husband was puking his brains out for the rest of the night! Not to mention that 97 burgers of boring! Half of them have all the same toppings with basically just different sauce or 1 extra ingredient! Who can't write a menu like that!? Phantom Gourmet really needs to rethink their review of Pub 97 because this "Hidden Jewel" should of stayed hidden! read more

Ordered the buffalo wings and they were over cooked and dry. Also ordered the pub 97 burger medium rare and it came out well done. Taste was ok. I wouldn't go back! read more

Great burgers but keep an eye on menu prices when you order. On more than one occasion the price on the bill for item was not the same as menu. read more

This pub was always a favorite of my grandfather and my uncle. I haven't been here in over ten years so a friend and I decided to pop in for a bite and to play some Keno. The hostess brought us drinks and we waited between 10 and 15 minutes for someone to take our order. When I asked the hostess if she was our waitress she rudely said, "NO!" as she continued to walk by. I was extremely shocked that she didn't reply, "No but I will find your server for you." At that point I wanted to leave but I had another 7 games of keno coming so I decided to stick it out. After asking another employee if we had a waitress our waitress appeared and apologized as she didn't know we were in her section and took our order. The portion size was small. I ordered the haddock as I can't eat red meat. (97 burgers on the menu and you can't get a turkey burger) Our waitress forgot my glass of water. So if you want mediocre food and rude service this is the place for you. read more

Great burgers! The meat is not tough, it's juicy and cooked to your liking. This place knows what they are doing with the burger meat. I had the classic burger, my hubby had the 97. Both were very good and have a great taste, not much seasoning on them. Fries are much larger than Mcdonalds and they are crispy. Place is clean and has a good size bar. Staff are very friendly. We'll be back again. read more

I don't even think this place deserves one star... If you want to be a customer that gets no respect or customer service then this is the place for you. Not only can they do NO substitution like put chicken on your nachos (even if u were going to pay extra) because then "everyone else will want it" like what kind of excuse is that? BUT they also can't change any of the tv's. This isn't what aggravated me.. It's the fact that they can't say it with some class.... It's more like "UM, no we can't change the tv bc it just doesn't work that way" in the rudest voice ever. AND this was from the owner? You'd think owners would treat their customers with some type of respect. I'm just so sick of this place going on with their shenanigans and not having to pay the price. If you're trying to find a friendly atmosphere to enjoy lunch/dinner, choose wisely. read more

Don't waste your time or Money. The waitstaff was terrible and the food was the same. The bar was teaming with over served drunk people who appeared to be local townies. Never ever going back. read more

I used to go to this place a lot...I really enjoyed the old bartenders and food. Now the place is run by teenagers and a psycho path in the kitchen "the owner". The burgers are dry...but not as dry as the little snooty girl behind the bar. Last time I was there I asked to speak with a manager because the food took over an hour and came out cold. The 16 year old waitress started crying because she was too scared to tell the owner...so I just left. The owner then CHASED me out to the parking lot lifted his hands in the air while I was driving away. I reversed the car got out and gave him a piece of my mind...see ya later Pub 97...never going back there again. Idiots. read more

I used to go to this place a lot...I really enjoyed the food. Now the place is run by anyone's guess and a psycho path in the kitchen "the owner". When I asked who was running the place as there was apparently no Manager there the girl said he's out back. He NEVER even came out when I asked to speak to him. We waited over an hour for a rare and medium rare burger and still did not get it ( mind you it was not busy at all). We were told a half hour in that there was a big take out order really what did they do take it out the back door because no one came in to pick up food. See ya later Pub 97...never going back there again. Idiots. PAR 97 will be closing shortly too. Phantom Gourmet go back and do another review hands down something is wrong at this dump! read more

Been here a few times and go mainly because choices in Georgetown are very limited. Burgers are decent as long as the buns are fresh, but forget about the service. I'm not a technical "regular" so you always get looks from the staff when you walk in. Was there the other day and the teenage bartenders couldn't care less about me, her and the manager (assume she's the manager) were more interested in talking to the two 20 year old guys that had the worst pot smell coming from them and talking about how trashed they got with the bartender the night before Then getting me a refill. You get better service in the dining area. It's really too bad, such great potential. read more

Pub 97 has the best burgers! We were visiting from DC and we wish DC had a place like this! Service was great and the staff was very friendly. 5 stars! read more

Walked into this place at 3:15. They opened at 3. One other customer in there. My husband ordered a bacon burger I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with cheddar and bacon, I asked for mushrooms Waitress tells me the kitchen won't give the mushrooms. She says I will put it on order but they probably won't do it. We get our orders- no mushrooms!!!! Can you believe this, all the restaurants we have been to! I can't even see this happening if the restaurant was busy. We asked for a manager...waitress says owner is not in today. Really? No manager? We will NEVER go back. 2nd time I've been to this place! First time the waitress was rude but gave the place the benefit of the doubt-waitress had a bad day. There are too many restaurants out here to go to a place that can't make a customer happy because the kitchen can't give you mushrooms! read more

Having been here at least a half a dozen times, I stopped at Pub 97 for a quick bite and cocktail. I sat at the bar which is always full of local dudes who stop in for a beer or two after work. Great waitstaff who are typically friendly and attentive. Mixed drinks are made in a pint glass with a free pour. There is Keno which when you're alone can keep you busy and who knows, maybe a kiss from Lady Luck. The menu offers 97 different types of burgers, you name it and it is most likely on the menu. You can't ask for substitutions or custom burgers but hey, with 97 different types, find one you like. And the burgers are good. I ordered grilled chicken with rice pilaf and mixed veggies. Everything was hot, fresh and bountiful. My only disappointment was there was one average sized chicken breast. The inside is a typical wooden bar with wooden booths, wood ceilings and wood walls. If you're in the mood for a burger, it's worth the stop off of Rt 95 which is under a 15 minute drive. read more

We ordered take-out burgers, potato skins and a pizza and were happy. Burgers were seasoned to perfection and really flavorful. Pizza wasn't anything special but our young son enjoyed it. We were a bit dissapointed by the potato skins - not much cheese or bacon and instead of a side of sour cream to dip them in there was just a small drizzle on top of each skin. Definitely go for a burger if you try it - you won't be dissapointed and the prices were great. read more

A fun, local spot for good burgers. The other food options are also good. Parking is limit and there can be a bit of a wait for a table, but it's usually not long. The staff is good, but can be hit or miss in terms of friendliness. read more

Good atmosphere and great burgers. Ample parking. Keno. Nice staff always accommodating and a pub-oriented menu. Good for lunch or dinner. Family-friendly. Every once in awhile they have specials but the core strength is burgers, pizzas and other pub food read more

WE USE TO GO ALL THE TIME, have not been in 3 Years cause soooooo rude. Owners have not smiled in there life. BAD!!!!!

Great Spot, 97 different burgers, staff is friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh and there is always some left overs to take home. Def. will go back. Great spot to checkout if your in the area. Only negative is I wish they were open for lunch daily. Highly recommend the turkey tips!! read more

Great place to have a meal or a beer. The atmosphere is casual, dark, and a little divey, but in a good way. I've tried 4 burgers so far and all have been amazing. Will definitely be coming back and bringing friends! read more

The prices they charge don't even match the menu!!!!! Gd forbid you request something be left off your plate, worse if you want to add anything. They will laugh at you. Every burger and pizza is seasoned the same, each with different toppings. FYI, ground pepper and italian seasoning aren't the only ways to flavor a dish. If the joint down the street had better food and the chinese dump didn't have roaches, this place wouldn't have lasted so long. All attitude and drama. Don't get to know anybody here, ever. read more

If you're looking for a fresh, homemade juicy burger this is he place to go. With 97 different burgers on the menu it can be a bit overwhelming at first. I got the Cuban burger with onion rings and it was delicious! Onion rings are perfectly cooked, nice and crispy and the burger was filled with flavor and huge. Everything on the menu was fairly priced and they had a decent selection of beers in tap. read more

I haven't had the chance to try their other menu items because I just so overwhelmed by the many choices of burgers they have! I have been in here several times with friends that live locally and I have been pleased every time! Who knew gravy paired so well with french fries and a burger?? read more

I really wanted to love this place. My husband and I went this past weekend. the Inside it a little outdated - but I can deal with that. Our Waitress was more interested in texting on her phone than tending to us (And we were one or only 2 couples seated in the dining area). There are 97 burgers to choose from - which was a little overwhelming, but fun at the same time. We ordered Potato skins for an appaziver - they were like Pre frozen Potato Wedges half cooked with some cheese and bacon thrown on - and some crudly squirted sour cream (Like is came out of a can - like spray cheese) sprayed on top. We asked for another minute with the menu when trying to decide on one of the 97 burgers - and our waitress left for a good 15 minutes. Finally got our order in - and another waitress dropped it off for us. by now we were both out of a drink - and out waitress was off ina corner texting. The burgers were ok.... I have had bertter -and worse... We Finally got her attention for drinks - then sat there for another 10 minutes when we were done eating waiting for a check. The only saving grace - being so pre occupied with her texting she forgot to charge us for the nasty potato skins which was just fine with me. I MAY go back there for a burger - to try one of the other kinds... and see if MAYBE our waitress this time is a little more attentive... but I am in NO big hurry for sure! read more

Their baked haddock IS FRIGGIN NASTY!!!!!!! did I say that loud enough???? Oh and I had gone once before and asked if I could just get a grilled cheese sandwich as I was not that hungary and they said no thats for kids only. This is the first restaurant (using term extremely loosely) who has ever said no to that, their loss they lost a sale. We did try their pizza and ..guess what? their pizza IS FRIGGIN NASTY!!!!!! Did I say that loud enough too? read more

After reading some of these reviews, all I can do is "YELP" . What do people think? This is a quality place with great people and delicious food. I personally frequent the Pub9 7 two times a week with no problem and look forward to being there. If 97 choices is not enough for your decriminating pallet maybe you should snuggle up with a TV dinner at home or do laps around a drive thru. Remember Henry Ford said "You can have any color you want as long as it is black!!!". He made it big and I'm sure the Pub will to. read more

RUDE!!! I'm only giving 1 star due to the rudness of the staff. They will NOT let you make substitutions to anything on the menu, such as adding jalepenos to a sandwich. A group of us went once and I wasn't very hungry and asked for a grilled cheese. The cook wouldn't let me have one because they are only for kids. I ended up eating half of a friend's sandwich and they lost out on a sale. I even offered to pay for a regular price sandwich!! I believe this is the cooks problem, not the waitstaff's. If they found a new cook, I'm sure everything would improve drastically! Too bad the owners don't realize this. When they first opened, they ,made homemade potatoe chips (they were fantastic) that they served while you looked over the menu- not anymore. Since then, my husband and I have gone back a few times, only to be more disappointed than the last. There are plenty of pubs in the area that are accomodating and have excellent food (Rory O'Connor's, Kean's and the Black Swan Country Club- all in Georgetown). read more

I wasn't impressed at all. They do have a large selection but my burger came with coleslaw on it and there was barely any on it. They were very skimpy on toppings. My boyfriends burger was all wrong and when we sent it back we got attitude. Then it came out wrong again they forgot the bacon so they gave us 2 pieces on a seperate plate that looked like they were microwaved. My daughter got pasta which you could tell was reheated. It was hard and gross. We definatly wont be back we had high hopes reading the reviews and were very disappointed read more
