    2 Meat Plate - Brisket and St.Louis ribs with collard greens and baked beans.
    Christopher C.

    Great, small BBQ joint. Friendly service, generous portions, quality cooking. Reminds me of joints near Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Large menu. Brisket was great as were the St. Louis ribs. Collard greens good but a bit salty. Baked beans good. Very generous portions. I will definitely come back. Waitress couldn't have been nicer and polite.

    It's like a little piece of Nashville in the middle of Westboro. Loved it. Cute place with several high tops for seating. Pop country music playing. Great craft beer selection. I had the wings, delicious. There must have been a dozen sauce options plus the BBQ that is on the table. We also had the loaded sweet potato tots. THOSE are like a meal, brisket, cheeses and a sweet potato tot bottom. Leftovers for days. Yum. We went on a Sunday for lunch and the place was ours. Very nice service. Easy street parking out front

    We met our nephew for lunch at a local spot in our new town. What a great place. The food was amazing. We had sandwiches and they were hefty and delicious. The brisket was tender with a very nice bbq sauce on sourdough bread. Our server was very cool and helpful with questions about the food and sides. I was also impressed with the ambience. Super clean and nicely appointed without overdoing it. Great meal super service local bbq place we will be going back to. I have to find out if they sell the sauce in bottles. They should. My new favorite bbq joint is in downtown Westborough.

    Smoked Chicken Ranch Sandwich, with Sweet Potato Tater Tots, and cornbread

    First off the service was outstanding! I ordered chicken wings buffalo medium......they were pretty good, I just like mine a bit more crispy. The flavor was spot on for a medium buffalo. I also ordered fries loaded with cheese and bacon.......and OH THEY WERE LOADED! Fries were fantastic, crunchy, hot and fresh, with at least 50lbs of mozzarella.....lol Wife ordered a smoked chicken ranch sandwich....she absolutely loved it. Great flavor very juicy. All in all we would stop by again to try the bbq, wish there was more of a selection of alcohol.

    Wow, stumbled into here when the other restaurant was closed. What a great find. My brother in law had the spicy southern Caesar with added chicken. He loved it. I had the beef barbacoa tacos and a pork slider and the waffle fries. The brisket was fabulous, as was the pulled pork. The amount of meat they serve is tremendous. We will come back. And they have guest wifi which is a prerequisite for a 5 star in my book

    Our first time out to The Coops new spot in Shrewsbury. We wanted to try it out because the new location has a bigger area for eating ( the Millbury spot has very limited seating area). Nice location in downtown Shrewsbury, we didn't have any problem finding a street parking spot. The inside is decorated very nicely and they have table service. We both decided on the Rueben with Mac and cheese as we loved that at their other location. We also got a side of collard greens and cornbread. They had quite a few beers to pick from and my husband was happy they had some Jacks Abby beer (one of his favorites) and I got a sweet tea (although they had a few mixed drinks that sounded yummy). Our service was excellent and the sandwiches were amazing (we both could only eat half). I love their Mac and cheese too! Collard greens were almost as good as my recipe and cornbread wasn't too sweet. The Coop is one of our favorite spots to grab some southern food!!

    With a name like the Coop, I thought they would have a ton of chicken sandwich options. The sandwich menu seems more shaped toward bbq. The sourdough is phenomenal. I really enjoyed the quality of the bread and the other ingredients. It was all fresh and made with care. Perfect cook on everything. Great seasoning. No complaints on the taste and quality. The Brisket, bacon, lettuce, and tomato was awesome. That's definitely a highlight. You should get that sandwich. You can see in the picture how tender and juicy it was. Epic sandwich. I was hoping for a range of chicken sandwiches but alas, The Coop doesn't seem to specialize in that. The closest I could come was some tenders on sourdough. I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't get a buttermilk fried chicken breast sandwich. I figured the Coop had to have something like that. Although my Jamaican tenders were expertly prepared and topped with fresh jalapenos, I was still wanting that breast experience. They charge per soda, as I guess put the cans into glasses so you don't know it's not fountain soda. I was surprised when the bill reflected that, assumed it was free refills. Just FYI. Feel like they should do fountain soda and give free refills since you pay a hefty price for the food. Overall it's a bit pricey but the quality is good, so it's justifed. I will come back to try other things. The chicken and waffles sounded good. This is a BBQ and burger place more than a specialty chicken shop. That said, they do a great job at that, just don't come in expecting a chicken focused menu.

    Nice easy take out container, with blue cheese, and fresh carrots ... I would put a grill chat on carrots for added flavor

The star of the show is the sandwich selection, all on a choice of focaccia or seeded roll, with many including stracciatella, a thick, white, creamy, Buratta-like cheese. Almost every item in the store-- from meats to cheeses to drinks to candies and snacks-- is imported from Italy and you can taste the difference. This ain't your daddy's Boar's Head. -- Tutto: Tried on focaccia, with Mortadella, Soppressata, Capicola, Prosciutto, Provolone, Stracciatella Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Pickles, Hot Cherry Peppers, and Garden Greens. Very creamy cheese, almost mayoey in texture. It took some adjustment on my first try, but I got used to it quickly. Strong flavors overall. Very enjoyable. -- Matto: Tried (on two different visits) on a grilled seeded roll, this packed Prosciutto, Soppressata, Sharp Provolone, and Hot Cherry Peppers. Bold flavors from the coldcuts, sharp cheese, and perfectly toasted bread, all in the right proportions to enjoy every flavor and texture. This was spectacular and will be a repeat sandwich for many visits to come. Excellent sandwiches. Nice people. Easy ordering via Toast (they don't have a website). Limited hours-- weekday lunches only-- and hard to spot, but in the same parking lot as the convenience store. I'm not an authority on Italian sandwiches but I've had my fair share from the "name" places in and around Boston, and this unknown gem from the outer suburbs ranks right up there with them. Some may argue they charge Boston prices, but for Boston quality without the Boston hassle, well worth it. Solidly in my lunch rotation.

    This hidden gem serves some of the most authentic and delicious Italian sandwiches around…read more The exterior doesn't hint at how clean and inviting the interior is; it's clear the owners really care for their shop and love what they do.
