    Tessie's is the BEST restaurant in the Walpole/Norwood area. We are here weekly and are obsessed with pretty much any burger and the sweet potato fries are a must. Ashley is our fav server and is always taking the best care of us. You can also never get bored with the menu, they have great specials every week (please keep the sweet potato waffles fries on the menu they are unreal).

    Half of the Mama Needs a Break Burger and half of the cozy greens salad
    Meghan O.

    I have been thinking about this salad for a week! The burger was good, cooked well, and I was happy with my half (and the generous serving of tots!)- but the salad was the highlight for me. Cozy greens - and they were cozy. I never felt rushed and still felt taken care of which is also always enjoyable, I appreciated that they split the shared items for us - so we each had a bowl with half a salad, our burger halves, and then a serving of tots. Get the tots. The restaurant itself was cute and I bet it's nice to sit outside there on a spring day. Maybe I'll make a trip back.

    We came near closing time but they allowed us to sit in the dining room while they started to clean the bar section. We heard they have delicious fried pickles so we ordered that and chicken wings as our starters. The pickles were truly delicious and very filling for 4 people. We shared a customized cheeseburger and salads. Overall, great service and timing. The burger itself was good, but it didn't wow me where I needed to come back to eat it again. Not a bad place for a hangout spot to have some good ole American cuisine.

    Fun place and good service! We enjoyed the food. I got the avocado toast and it was good, but the entire base was made up of red onions. And I do love red onions, but it was a bit much even for me! The avocado spread was delicious though and the French fries. We also loved the buffalo cauliflower!

    I was planning on getting a salad that was on special but as I looked at the menu, I noticed the "famous" buffalo cauliflower and wondered what made it famous. So I got the buffalo cauliflower salad - topped with quinoa, corn, artichokes, red onion and ranch dressing. The flavor combination was outstanding and that's in large part due to the Buffalo cauliflower- coated in a Buffalo flavored batter and fried to perfection. Probably the best Buffalo cauliflower I've ever had. The portion was HUGE and worth every penny. Highly recommend!

    Make your own burger with tots!

    We were looking for a decent place outside of Concord, MA before our drive back to CT and found Tessie's on Yelp. It had great reviews, was pretty much on our way home, and the menu listed fried pickles and tots! That sealed the deal! The place was crowded, with mostly high top tables and bar seating. Luckily a smaller table for 2 was available. Our waitress was perfect...she was there when we needed and even anticipated some needs before we even asked! She was fast, efficient and super nice. The fried pickles were fantastic and they easily accommodated another sauce as I am not a fan of ranch. Our burgers, one Patti Melt and 1 build your own (both requested Med rare and on Texas toast) were perfectly cooked, juicy and full of flavor. The tots were a smash hit and I really liked their take on coleslaw. Great meal, excellent service, prices pretty reasonable, clean restrooms. It was a little dark inside, but after we were done reading the menu that did not seem to matter. We loved it this dining experience and would definitely recommend a stop in. On street parking.

    Fried chicken Sammie!!

    We stumbled upon this on a day trip. Absolutely fabulous. The place is so cute everyone was so friendly. The food was fabulous!!! And portions huge!! The bartender was our server she gave great recommendations and the drinks were great too!

    Came as a walk in. The service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was busy and everyone seemed very content. Food was amazing! Would absolutely come back here if we're ever in the area again.

    Overcooked burger Patti that's quite small.

    Steak and cheese egg rolls were delicious and I would definitely order again. The burgers were a big disappointment. The patties seemed to be about 6 ounces and it was overcooked. The blend of meat did not impress me. I've had better burgers at Applebee's.

Lots of Portuguese options, so I tried a cup of Portuguese kale soup to start, which was tasty, but a bit salty. Also had the eggplant stack, and it was truly -stacked- high, and the sauce was pretty good. My mom really liked her salmon dish. Other folks at my table that had pasta said their dishes were just okay. Service was attentive and prompt. Good value spot.

Everything else was very flavorful. Our server recommended the brisket grilled cheese and it was amazing. We also tried the pizza special of the day -- some slices were cooked a little more than others, but it was still good overall. We would definitely come back!

Think homemade pastas, stellar service, and a large menu of traditional Italian favorites all wrapped up in a cozy neighborhood atmosphere. We stopped by for the first seating of the evening on a Saturday with a large group. There was something for everything on the craft cocktail and wine menus. Our table sampled quite a few different martinis, and it was a nice surprise that even some of the fruitier options were well balanced and not tooooo sweet. (The pear and cucumber martinis were some of our favorites). They had a ton of specials for the night in addition to the regular menu, which made picking just a few appetizers and one entree each a challenge for most of us. Even the complimentary bread basket here deserves a shoutout: the housemade cornbread and focaccia were both 10/10. A few of the favorites from our table's selections were the escargot and calamari appetizers, both the eggplant and chicken parms, and the lobster and shrimp ravioli. Lobster ravioli is one of my favorite dishes of all time, and it's all over the greater Boston area. I have to say Basil's rivals any I've had before---the lobster cream sauce is to die for, I haven't stopped thinking about it since!! Our waitress was so kind and accommodating to our groups' many questions and substitutions. Overall it was an easy 5-star experience, can't wait to come back!
