First time trying the Rapscallion , and it was a great experience! I originally made a reservation online for 8 people at 8 PM since that was the only dinner time available, but after calling the restaurant, the staff was kind enough to help us switch to an earlier time. We started with beer flight which was fantastic -- a great way to try different flavors, and we loved every choice. For appetizers, we ordered the Mediterranean hummus nachos, shrimp bites, and spicy mussels. Our entrées included the chicken à la limone, cioppino, and shrimp scampi, and everything was surprisingly delicious. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy, comfortable, and relaxing. We all enjoyed it for the girls' night. I would definitely recommend this place and will be coming back again soon! read more

See all

I still can't figure out why a place like this chose to open in a Price Chopper shopping plaza in a town like this -- the location just feels odd and lacks any atmosphere before you even walk in. Inside, the dining room is far too open, and the noise bounces off the walls to the point where it gets distracting and loud fast. The menu is fine if you want basic pub food -- burgers, sandwiches, and the usual bar-style options -- but nothing really stands out or feels memorable. They do have a solid cocktail and beer selection, but that alone doesn't carry the experience. Service was noticeably slow, and by the time we left after paying a pretty hefty bill, the overall feeling was mostly: "Why does this place exist here?" It's not terrible, but definitely not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to or recommend. read more

Went here for lunch over the weekend. We were the only patrons inside.. so the service was fast and our waitress was great. Food is subpar at best, the steak and cheese tastes like jersey mikes and it is tiny. The tuna BLT is good. The fries are frozen and not great. Probably won't be back, maybe for a drink not the food. read more

My husband and I enjoyed our lunch at Rapscallion. There are plenty of tables and TVs at the bar if you want to watch some sports while you're there. The chicken minestrone was decent and warmed us up on a freezing day. The cauliflower appetizer was a bit disappointing, as we were expecting a breaded and fried cauliflower, but it's more so roasted with bread crumbs. The bartenders were friendly and ensured we had everything we needed. Overall, Rapscallion is a great addition to the Upton/Hopkinton area. read more

Rapscallion - History - American Near Me - Hopkinton, Massachusetts

Rapscallion Kitchen & Bar is now open in Hopkinton in the former Quattro space at Hopkinton Square (Price Chopper), conveniently located off I-495 Exit 54B. Rapscallion operates several restaurants and brewpubs in Eastern MA including Acton, Spencer, Sturbridge, and Lawrence (brick oven pizza). The atmosphere inside is s bit noisy with conversations echoing in the main dining area with full service bar. There is seating at the bar, table seating and church pew seating along the wall. There are 3 flatscreen TVs near the bar. There is also a smaller back dining room. There is also outside patio seating too. The food menu offerings include a selection of appetizers, flatbreads, salads, handhelds, pasta, meat, poultry, seafood, gluten free selections and vegetarian dishes, and desserts. The pricing is moderate high. At the bar, they offer 15 Rapscallion beers on draught, wines, mixed drinks, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. Beer flights are offered. On the way home from RI, I stopped off at Rapscallion in Hopkinton for dinner. I headed to the bar and topk a seat. The bar was busy and there were ample open tables on a Wednesday evening. I was given a laminated menu and requested an ice water. I placed my food order for a starter and entree. The Rapscallion Mussels ($18 plus tax) came out first, which were comprised of 22 sauteed mussels with shallots, butter & garlic, parsley with cherry tomatoes in a spicy dijon "sauce" no broth, 2 crostinis included. The mussels were very small and the flavors very salty and spicy. For an entree, the Penne a la Vodka ($25 plus tax) had al dente penne tossed with sauteed chicken, asparagus, mushrooms, & marinara light cream sauce, topped with parsley & shaved parmesan, crostini included. The portion was decent which wasn't too rich and the chicken very tender, mushrooms soft, and asparagus crunchy. I finished my food and passed on dessert. The check was $46.01 with tax and before tip. Overall, I have a mixed take on the meal. The mussels were not great and pasta dish was nicely prepared. I decided not to get dessert since I was already going out for ice cream after. Other customers enjoyed their fried calamari and hummus nachos. The service at the bar was adequate with no issues. read more

Weird location - seems like this type of restaurant belongs - I don't know, somewhere else. Not in a "strip" mall area. I would never notice it there and I think that's a negative for them (not for our experience). Sat at the bar and just had a couple of drinks. Why? The menu just didn't grab us. Prices are high for what it is. And yes, prices are high EVERYWHERE but I didn't notice any food coming out that had a "wow" factor for presentation (maybe taste? I don't know). But nothing had a large portion or looked particularly overwhelming for the prices. So we had drinks and they were GOOD. A+ for beverages. And a solid A++ for service as the two bartenders were delightful, attentive, personable and just great. SO ... I think service here is probably top notch. Menu just didn't do it for us so we went and ate somewhere else. Disappointing since it's not far from us and would be a nice change from our other "regular" spots. read more

I loved the menu and services. My bf has a gluten free allergy so I tried to find the restaurant that offerers GF menu. The menu also has Gl sign that it is a regular menu but it can also make it as GF. We have mentioned our server that he has gf allergy when she brought water at the table but forgot to tell her again the all order had to be GF. When the dish arrived, he saw a bread. He was going to just relive it since we did not specify when we placed order for appetizer and entre but she did remember it! Also my bf has some light sensitivity at the table, they kindly showed me the tables that they can offer us. The little thing like this makes a big difference of dining experience. The manager and waitress earned our comfort and trust now. We are going back there soon! The menu was great too. Bratta appetizer and short ribs were great. It went si well with red wine. read more

Really great and attentive staff. Decor is fine, and the food is solid, but slightly overpriced for the quality.

So I've been here a few times and here's what my experience has been. Service is great, atmosphere is pleasant. The beer is ok. I'd give the beer a 2.5 out of 5. The food has been disappointing. First time steak frites I had to send back as the steak was tough, gray and unappetizing. They replaced it with a hot burger which was pretty good. But.... Last time I went there me and my buddy had a burger... slow night. It came out cold and not very good. read more

Yummy food, yummy beer! Folks are really nice too. Kind of a hidden gem, tucked into the corner of the Price Chopper plaza.

So this should be listed as a Brewery restaurant, tried a flight and loved 3 out of 4, can't recall last time that happened at a brewery. Food was great as was service and atmosphere. With our old favorite closed (Sorrento in milford) happy to have a new place. Must try! read more

The food here was so delicious!! We ended up getting like 4 appetizers because everything looked so good and we were not disappointed! The calamari and the tuna sliders were probably my favorites. Service was super attentive and friendly, even got to meet the owner! Finished our meal with desserts, which we ordered root beer floats made with their own homemade root beer! Definitely recommend at least trying the root beer. So good!! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Went for dinner on 1-16-26. Food was great. Service was excellent. Beers were really good too. Nice selection. I had a flight and had a hard time picking one. I will definitely be going back. read more

Loved the ambiance. The owner was engaged and very welcoming. Loved the food too. Very healthy and reasonably priced. It's new! I recommend trying it. We really enjoyed it. read more

Popped in for open mic night. Great crowed. The food here is amazing. Plus, they brew their own beer, mix good cocktails and have a nice selection of wine. A great addition to the Hopkinton night life. read more

The food here was awesome! Great ambience and location and really good service. I will definitely come back. The mussels were amazing!

We are local and very excited to have a place like Rapscallion in town. So we wish them the best! But we think they may still be trying to figure out who/what they are. Are they a beer hall? A local/grill/pub? The prices are not cheap (nothing is, I guess, these days) but the menu is a little all over the place. As the vibe seems more beer hall, they could benefit from some more low-key apps (pretzels? German food? popcorn?), and maybe more comfort food type dishes. What we have tried so far have been good: mussels, burger, steak + cheese sandwich. Their take on nachos (hummus, etc.) is interesting and yummy. They have lots of gluten free options, which is a big plus and not always easy to find. We've had good, friendly service. But the prices are a bit high for this kind of place. They are also in desperate need of noise mitigation: this place is LOUD even when not completely full (maybe add some rugs or acoustic baffles or acoustic panels somehow?). They did deal with their light issue (it was way too bright) and now have nice lamps on tables. Some of the seating could be more comfy too. Again, we are fans and want them to succeed! We love that they have a full bar, as well as their own beers. It's great that they are making the back room more inviting. We can't wait to try the patio when the weather gets warmer...they are definitely worth a visit if you live in the area or are passing through. Give Rapscallion a try! read more

Update to my previous post. Soundproofing was done. The restaurant wasn't crowded, but you could tell the noise was being absorbed. The food was good. The bolognese portion was more inline with other restaurants. The server, who was pleasant was able to substitute penne for the spaghetti. It had a nice flavor, but it was still "thin" on meat. One in our party added a piece of salmon to her salad, which one at our table that eats salmon quite often, said it was the worst piece she ever had - smelly and gamey. It did smell and shouldn't have made it to the table. The server gladly replaced it with a veggie burger. The server came out later commenting that they get fish deliveries 3 times a week and it should have been good. That's great but it doesn't change the outcome and really didn't need to be said. The other two dishes were good. The appropriate adjustments were made to the bill and the server did comp some items. read more

Wings were fire, calamari was on point, and the beer (NEIPA) hit just right. Definitely coming back. read more

Have been here several times and have enjoyed it; recently ordered the pasta bolognese. Very disappointed-$25 for about .50 cents of pasta and maybe $1.00 worth of sauce with very little meat. Will have second thoughts on returning. read more

so happy with this place! Best muscles I've ever had -the Broth and toasted bread was to die for. We loved the burger cooked perfectly and sweet potato fries were like gourmet delicious, crunchy yet soft inside. martini was ice cold. and it was pretty busy for a Monday night. The young man that waited on us was very attentive, thoughtful, and funny! Love the ambience, except it is a little bright for my taste. could use a dimmer switch. clean and comfortable with a good vibe. read more

Food was great! We spilt wings, harvest salad, and mushroom ravioli. Split the chocolate mousse, too. Only negative was that the whipped cream wasn't homemade. A bit loud, but could still hear each other. Dim lighting, but neither too dark nor too bright. Would recommend and return. Sangria was lovely and will try a flight next time. read more

Food, beer and service were all great. Will definitely be going back and telling my friends to go!

Rapscallion Table and Tap in Hopkinton is a fantastic spot for anyone seeking delicious scratch-made comfort food and top-tier house-brewed beers. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is always exceptional. read more

We went for the first time the other day. Service was very good. We sat at the bar and the gentleman who served us did a great job, very attentive. We both ordered burgers which were satisfactory. The fries were pretty lack luster. We were put off by the measured poor at the bar. That's a guarantee we won't be ordering a second. We probably won't be in a hurry to return. read more

Great food and service! The beer is top notch ! Highly recommend a visit if you've never been there!

Went to Rapscallion and had the chicken à la limone it was so good and flavorful. I also got a beer flight and loved the variety they had. Great service and a really nice vibe overall. Would definitely go back! read more

Had the sesame salmon which was delicious (and gluten free!) and loved the lavender dreams cocktail! Will definitely go back!

First time review for me on yelp. Staff was very attentive. Went for a weekday night meal , eggplant parm was terrific and whiskey cocktail hit the spot. read more

Amazing food, excellent service, and a great atmosphere. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Highly recommend, will definitely be back! read more

Totally agree with another similar review.... It was far too loud in there. Good beer selection. Food was ok.

Beer was decent but food was very lackluster, if the other locations are anything like this I'm not sure why they decided to expand... Burger was ok but a $22 burger should be more than ok. steak came out cold, overdone and without any evidence of the chimichurri claimed on the menu. Flatbread was a big wet sloppy mess that was inedible. For these prices, the food was not even close to average. read more

I was at Rapscallion in Hopkinton MA last night 12/4/25. This place is wonderful. It has an intimate vibe, good for date night. My server, Allison was personable, engaging and knowledgeable on the menu. If you sit in the dining section, ask for her. She's great! I hope she's always my server! I had the smoked chicken wings, mushroom ravioli and a couple porter beers which they brew themselves. Yum! 100% recommend you all check this place out. read more
