Had a very satisfying experience here for lunch today. The pub was almost full, but we lucked out…read morewith lots of convenient street parking. At the time we arrived, it was self seating, but we found a table easy and a waitress came up immediately. She was a lovely lady, polite and efficient. She apologized that the pub was short staffed but any extra wait we had wasn't noticed. My husband had the 1877 Cheeseburger with Coleslaw. The burger was super juicy and flavorful. The coleslaw was good. I had the Buffalo Bomb and paid a little extra to have it as a wrap. It was So Good. Stuffed full, and the wrap was tender. Saucy but just the right amount of sauce. I had the White Cheddar macaroni and cheese as my side and it was satisfyingly good. Honestly, walking in? I had no idea what I wanted to eat. But what I ordered and ate was exactly was I was wanting. Hah! Even the portion sizes were just right and priced very appropriately. The bar portion of the pub looked quite lively and there was an upstairs that I wasn't able to check out. The bathrooms were one-seaters, but were roomy and accessible and very clean. I definitely recommend this pub if you are in the area for a drink and some good food.

Another customer arrived and was taken care of before us. Not very good if you're trying to be a successful restaurant. This place will not make it if they continue like this. Very unorganized. Ambiance was kind of low. Felt like I was at a funeral. Unfortunately I can't comment on the food.

Not sure what the issue may be but it's very unfair to us paying customers and those hard workers. I feel like it's been broken for almost a month now and that's ridiculous! So make sure you check the status of the A/C before dining there, cause it's very uncomfortable eating in the heat.

I had lunch at B-52's American Bar & Grill while in Downtown Newton. The restaurant was recommended…read moreto me and B-52 is a Veteran themed bar and has tributes on the walls to those members who served. Service was friendly here and I was given a choice of a seat at the bar; a high top or low top table. My waitress was very friendly and kept checking in and brought me more tea and even a cup to go. The menu is large with typical bar foods. I went with the fish and chips that were on special and it came with two sides so I did fries and mac n cheese. The mac n cheese was delicious and even came with extra cheese on top. The portion of fries and fish was generous but I didn't know I would be getting fish sticks. So it wasn't what I was expecting. Only a fork was provided in the napkin when a knife would have been useful. The prices were reasonable too. If I make it back this way again I'd stick with the burger next time.

Sam was our server and she was amazing -- super attentive and made sure I got my order in just before breakfast ended . To start, I had a cortadito and a ham & cheese croqueta -- both were the perfect warm-up for my taste buds. For my main, I ordered a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich with pepper jack cheese and asked if the ham could be warmed up. Sam made sure it came out just right! Hubby had a glass of fresh orange juice and two rellenos de papa (potato balls) -- and let me tell you, those were ! The food was soooo good -- seriously, the eggs were perfectly fluffy, even inside the sandwich . Just thinking about it now makes my mouth water! Later, I ordered a café bonbón but asked for the espresso to not be sweetened -- and it hit the spot perfectly. Smooth, rich, and bold . The only tiny hiccup was the whipped cream on the tres leches cake -- it had a bit of a chemical taste, which was a little off. But the cake itself was still solid! I really loved the palm trees and decor, which gave the place such a laid-back, tropical vibe. My only suggestion would be to maybe brighten it up just a bit -- it felt a little dark inside, so a touch more lighting or a fresh color palette could really enhance the atmosphere. Sam also told us about the fun events and live bands they host -- I definitely want to come back and check those out!
