Take Five is a friendly, old school, Italian restaurant. I have a gluten allergy so I couldn't order the pasta. I had the filet with steamed broccoli and side salad. They don't have baked potatoes which I suppose makes sense considering everyone gets a side of pasta. The salad was unexciting, but OK. The fillet was overcooked, but OK as well. The broccoli side was hysterical. It was one huge stock of broccoli. I didn't get sick, which was good. There weren't many options there for me, but I was happy to have the filet. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. Take Five is not high-end or fine, dining, but it is a nice friendly neighborhood Italian restaurant that I would still recommend. read more

A strange place for sure. Looks like they used to have a salad bar, but not these days. Now, dinners come with a salad that is fine but nothing special. They also include soup (pretty good deal). Tonight, it was a chicken and vegetable soup that was fresh and homemade. My wife and I split a sweet chili calamari appetizer that was very tasty. My wife had a steak (overcooked) and some stuffed shrimp (frozen and not very good). I had the prime rib, which was delicious and a very good deal. I got ziti with marinara as a side, and it was pretty boring and clearly not well seasoned. Unfortunately, there was a really off putting foul smell in the dining room and I have no idea what it was. Seemed like either old fish or a problem in the bathroom, but it was not good. The waitress was a great and very attentive. Service was excellent. Bottom line, this is a very mediocre restaurant. A lot of the things on the menu weren't very good at all, but others were quite tasty. Three stars. It's ok, but has pretenses of being much better than it actually is read more

Was part of a family gathering. Food was decent, would not go back Italian food needs to be prepared from scratch the franchise sauce was pre-made I think from a bottle. I had cod franchise. Code was tasteful. Service was exceptional. Salad was ok, bread was very good. read more

Nice restaurant in the feeding hills restaurant that has a wide menu selection. Great value on the prices for how much portion you get. The entrees are consistently good, the soup and salad are sometimes hit or misses. We are usually vegan (we weren't this time) and have found it's challenging to find a good vegetarian option here when we came. Eggplant Parm is the go to at many other local Italian restaurants, so we wished there was something else vegetable and flavor forward here to switch it up. Otherwise everything else is great and is a nice option for a dinner with the family. read more

Great local family restaurant. I had prime rib, and it was wonderful. Portions were large. Many choices on the menu. The service was good. Would go again. read more

Good food, good service. Went there recently & have nothing bad to say about our experience.

I need to preface with, my wife and I like coming here. HOWEVER, on one particular visit, there was a Prime Rib special. Something like 60 ounces of meat. I can't remember, but it was a monstrous portion. We went with our son, and my wife can't eat much, so we decided to split it. We told the waitress and she gave us a dirty look and advised us there would be an $8 per person plating fee. We didn't mind as even with 3, it was too much food. When the food was served, we were given the monstrous meat with 2 plates on the side. I've been to many o' places that charge a plating fee for splitting meals. In the other cases, they actually re-plated, justifying the fee. Not here. Two empty plates. What a joke! Oh, and that night, I was told the hostess never even showed up for work, the excuse for why no one seemed to know what to do. It has been several months now, and we have never been back. read more

Had a family dinner there and the waitress was right spot on got everybody's orders and quickly make sure we all had what we needed and the food was fantastic. This is my third time there and I do enjoy the place. I highly recommend them. read more

Amazing food and fabulous service. Definitely going back soon! They have outside dining!

I found this place on the Upside app and it didn't disappoint. There were a lot of good menu choices and the portions were really good. Prices were reasonable as well too, and the bar area was fun and nice to sit at. read more

I went here a few Sundays ago for a family celebration with a large party without reservation. They were happy to take us and seated us right away. The drinks and food were great, and the staff was attentive and friendly. I will be back soon. They had a prime rib I saw coming out when I was leaving that was massive, and I plan to be back soon to try it! read more

The service is great. All the food is good, including the chicken francais chicken Parm, large burgers, fish and chips ($14.00). Soups and salads are very good. Recommend if you're in the area. They also did a great job at hosting a meal for us for a large gathering after a funeral. read more

We came in for a bunch at a Springfield Church catered by this restaurant. The only item that was fresh was the bread. The meatballs, and chicken we awful. the Chicken francese taste rubbery, the meatballs like paper, didn't even taste like meatballs, the sauce on the over cooked pasta was ok. The salad was very good, but the dressing tastes watered down. Don't recommend hiring this company for a bunch. Maybe the restaurant is better, but after eating this garbage, I wouldn't count on it. read more

Good food and service. Ordered the veal Marsala and was not disappointed. It was tender and the sauce was good . Will be back!

Great surprise! Family owned with pride! I got the baked seafood casserole! More quality food than I could ever eat in a single sitting!

I wanted to come back and update my review! We came for an indoor dinner with our two friends just last weekend and my oh my I was pleasantly surprised this time! I think some of their meals could use more love(the tortellinis are just frozen/bland maybe they can consider homemade and the Alfredo dish was also a little bland).. my husband still loved the lobster ravioli and I would def get the chicken parm again from our first visit here. The reason I am upping my review is they have delicious fresh baked bread from a bread maker & their fried Oreos for dessert are to die for! Literally better than the big E! I couldn't believe how delish they were. Definitely worth a stop in with friends, good vibes and good food. read more

Should be 3 1/2 stars for the pretty good value here. Bottom line is that you might not get a gourmet meal here, but the value (what you get for your money) is pretty darned good. I ordered lemon pepper mussels (one pound) off the appetizer menu, and I was surprised when the server said "you know that comes with pasta". Very nice.. I wasn't expecting that since so many times mussels come with just the broth. The lemon pepper broth had a lot of minced garlic in there and the dish was very tasty. I asked to substitute a vegetable for the pasta, and had a nice steamed broccoli crown in its place. The broccoli was served in a ramekin, stem side down, so it looked like a little bonsai tree. The mussels and side were $12.95. I added the Take Five's salad bar for $5.95 -it was good, but to be honest, pretty average fare. Anything unusual on the salad bar? Maybe some cubed cheese and pickled vegetables offered alongside the usual lettuce, tomatoes, cukes, onions, cottage cheese, pepperoncini, beets, chickpeas, black olives, and cole slaw. My wife hit the jackpot with a mammoth ziti and sweet sausage- a huge serving with tons of meat. It came with the salad bar included and ran $15.95. Service was fine, our server was attentive and pleasant. Décor, well, kind of average in a "What would Robert Irvine do?" kind of way. It was a pleasant dinner, no problems at all, good food, good service. Sounds like an A-OK to me.... read more

Last Sunday we had a surprise birthday party at Take 5 restaurant with about 20 guests. We worked with Frank to set up a schedule and food choices. He was very helpful with his knowledge and suggestions. We had 3 choices of appetizers and people could choose from 5 entrees. All of the food was excellent. Our party-goers were very impressed with the quality and selection. Our server Caitlin was awesome and kept up well with a demanding group. The bartender as also very attentive to our beverage needs! Thank you, Take 5, we'll be back! read more

Always consistently good food reasonable prices. I think have tried just about everything and all were great. Can't go wrong here.

Another amazing meal and dining experience here... we came here with 6 adults and 2 kids. The service (Rachel, the bartenders and others) was great all night and the food was absolutely delicious and cooked perfect. The owners are very nice as well, definitely recommend! read more

They handled an after funeral get together for about 50 people and they did a great job. The food was great and plenty of it. Service was also great and the cost was reasonable. Any get togethers in the further I would have at Take Five. Thank you for a great job. read more

Have been looking for a decent salad bar that wasn't overly pricey and we've finally found it. Haven't been here for five or six years and had forgotten about their salad bar. Thankfully they still have it and it is outstanding. Well stocked and everything in it is chilled perfectly. Some of the items in the back are a pain to reach but it can be done without spilling if you're careful about it. We will certainly be back even though it's a drive to get here just for a salad but I'm okay with that. They are undergoing some upgrades but it doesn't affect your eating experience in the slightest. Plenty of parking in their own lot, the waitress was decent, the place was clean and tidy and it would've been nice and quiet if it wasn't for the family with several kids being kids. Will be returning in the near future for our light weight dinner fix. read more

7 PM on a Friday night only 15 people in the restaurant? Beautiful outside deck , got a steak and cheese grinder It was tasty but not enough meat. The ambience is dull. Just a shame a restaurant has gone straight downhill. staff was friendly. Hopefully they shape up. read more

Many years ago came here for the cheeseburger chowder, was absolutely amazing! They don't have it anymore . Anyways ate in last night first time since they renovated, place is great, atmosphere nice and staff was a pleasure to deal with. I have picked up takeout previously and all their food is great! Last night we had fillet & the jack Daniels pork chops. Fillet was perfectly cooked and great flavor. Jack Daniels pork chops, were awesome very large portion. Prices are great, portions are huge. won't leave hungry or disappointed. read more

Absolutely the best food and atmosphere. Frankie and Louie have done a fantastic job with the place and are amazing chefs! My family loves going there for dinner and drinks. The food is phenomenal and the staff and owners are the best of the best! I recently had my engagement party catered by Take Five and everyone loved the food! Thank you so much for everything and keep up the good work! 10/10 I definitely recommend this place! read more

Awesome Cheesy Portabella Mushroom. One of the best I ever had. It was steak-like. The cheese mixture is to die for. The cheesy garlic bread is fantastic. The service is great. Limited but good draft beers. The ambiance is very New England. read more

Had the veal and lobster Oscar on dinner last night. Veal was as very thin and as tough as leather. Lobster is not Maine lobster which they should let you know that it's rock lobster. Béarnaise sauce was like brown gravy. Terrible flavor to the sauce. At $35.00 dollars not worth it. Would not recommend to anyone. read more

Veal Oscar was decent, the lobster was a little overdone, it's hard to do with a split tail under broiler I'm sure. Overall it was a decent dining experience, only real issue was waiting on silverware (maybe 10 other patrons in restaurant and we were eating outside). My dad had scallops and said they were done correctly. read more

First timers on 11/13/21 4:40 PM ordered calamari for app, seafood medley and broccoli alfredo. Calamari and marinara were both bland. Thought Marinara was tomato paste in a dish. Wife had about 3 bites of chicken alfredo. No flavor, no sure not was used for cheese flavoring but Applebees was even better. My seafood medley had the flavor of white claim sauce from a can of Progresso, which gave the pasta a horrible taste. I had two swirls of pasta. I ate the seafood that came with, because for $30 thought I should have something. even through website says entrée is 28. same with my wife's entrée different price on dinner menu than in restaurant. so we left 90 of meal and 95% of my wife's meal there, but tipped the waitress because wait staff need help. I don't know what the attraction is but I wouldn't recommend this restaurant. Terry R. read more

I have eaten here twice in 5 weeks and both times were amazing. The food portions and quality are excellent. You get bread, soup and salad bar with every meal. I had the steak gorgonzola and chicken franchise for my choices. Service was stellar and comfortable atmosphere. On Tuesdays they have a 5 for $20 special (app, soup, salad, meal and dessert) but the meal portion is less but still a great value (instead of 2 pieces of chicken you get 1). Husband had shrimp risotto and the shrimp were large and our son got the chicken parm. Delicious. read more

Not impressed- my seafood casserole was over done- over priced- broccoli was so hard had to use a steak knife to cut. Waitress said they had clam chowder for soup - then came back and said they didn't- did she not know when she started her shift. I'm confused. My salad was full of water, I'm guessing they didn't dry the lettuce. Will not go back- used to be so good before they did the place over. read more

Have been here several times with a group. Servers always very accommodating. Always have some interesting specials of the day. All entrees come with soup, salad, and bread. More food than you can probably eat! read more

Great salad bar, especially the blueberry vinegrette! Clam chowder is always flavorful. Enjoyed the special Penne Luciano- artichokes, spinach, roasted peppers and chicken over penne in a light sauce. Portions sizes are generous- always end up taking some home to enjoy the next day. Quickly becoming our favorite place read more

Had a lunch date with my fiance and Take Five was on the way to our errands. The inside of the dining room is a very unique design. It's ornately furnished but the decor itself is sparse. It's loud and echoey and all one shade of crimson. I wasn't too impressed with the salad bar. My fiance opted for a premium salad. I chose a burger. Hard to mess up a salad, but the lettuce wasn't drained well. My burger was cooked well, but was overly greasy. I really don't like when the bottom part of the bun is completely saturated. Since it was lunch we stuck to waters. Our server was rarely around and looked a little unkempt. We probably won't be back for a visit, but I'm glad we tried it. read more

TONS OF FOOD. INCREDIBLE ALWAYS. A little on the fancier side for this area so you pay a little more but they make up for it in how much food you get. Entrees come with soup and salad which is pretty rare I feel. Also theres a salad bar! Seems like the employees are always at the salad bar restocking food and making sure everything is fresh. 10/10 read more

Awful service ,overpriced bland food. Waitress was overwhelmed,the service was slow and the food was bland and tasteless..terrible experience! Never going back read more

Admittedly for no reason Take Five was never on my radar. However I tried it looking for a nice take out meal during the covid era and realized I've been missing out. Having gone several times now I'm hooked. Each meal we had was well prepared, seasoned perfectly, and of highest quality. Menu is extensive and portion sizes will not disappoint! Most meals come w salad, soup and some of the best bread I've ever had! Personally I can't wait for their doors to re-open post covid era as it's going to be an easy choice for me! Delicious is an understatement! read more
