Some highlights: - the Honey Pesto Grilled Cheese & Tomato Soup is so delicious! The addition of the honey really makes this sandwich A+. The soup is okay and small portion and tastes like pizza sauce a little? - the French dip is so huge and heavy, one of the fav items - their fries are always good and fresh cut - the nachos are gigantic and are good for takeout - short rib is always good and cooked perfectly melty with really good mashed potatoe & soft carrots. Definitely a filling winter meal. I hope they keep that on the menu forever! - the steak tips are also really tasty and the marinade they use gives it a sweet taste - I like that they change up their menu

After his draft beer arrived the glass was also cracked, and they replaced that also. Chips and dip: Dip was tasty, chips were unseasoned and needed a dusting of something. Fried Brussels sprouts were very fried, made better by the dipping sauce. We would try this restaurant again to see what else appeals on the menu.

Hostess was friendly as well as our server. We had the waffle fry nachos to start, then I had the grilled turkey tips (they were wonderful!) and my husband had the truffle Mac and cheese with pulled pork. - he did say the pork was a little dry, but asked for some bbq sauce and he said that helped.

This was a strange Christmas this year, and I didn't feel like cooking for the family…read more Fortunately, I ordered the Holiday Dinner for four to go from Skybokx - it's new this year. I ordered the pork loin that came with everything that you need for the total meal. And wow! I'm normally skeptical about meats that are pre-cooked and prepared mashed potatoes as they can sometimes be too salty. But this did not disappoint - it was NOT too salty and just perfectly seasoned. After 2 days of leftovers, the pork was still incredibly moist. And, the mashed potatoes were unbelievable, and stuffing was really a creative and tasty recipe. And this portion for four - easily could have served 8 with a few more vegetables and rolls added by me. My family was thrilled - and I would definitely do this again! Thank you!

Some restaurants impress you the first time you walk through the door. The Dudley Chateau isn't one…read moreof them. Known locally as "The Chat," it's tucked away in a neighborhood overlooking Dudley Pond, in what began life as a private fishing lodge nearly a century ago before becoming a speakeasy and eventually the local institution it is today. It definitely shows its age--and I mean that affectionately. (The Dudley Chateau) The building is well worn, it gets packed, it can be loud, and yes, the restrooms have seen better days. None of that has stopped us from coming back several times a year. Why? Because the food is consistently excellent, and so is the service. The menu goes well beyond what you'd expect from a neighborhood pub, and we've yet to leave disappointed. The staff somehow manages to stay friendly, attentive, and efficient even when the place is buzzing. The Dudley Chateau isn't trying to be trendy or upscale, and that's part of its charm. It's comfortable in its own skin, and so are the people who keep coming back. If you're looking for spotless, quiet, and polished, this probably isn't your place. But if you're looking for great food, friendly service, and a genuine local institution with plenty of character, it's absolutely worth the visit.

I had a Cesar salad that had chunks of the ends of the lettuce - annoying. And whatever seasoning that was on the chicken didn't go with the vibe of the salad and was dry as a bone. My friend ordered seared scallops which came thrown on top of a cartoon like pile of fries. She didn't have time to complain because the waitress was out to ask us how it was before we had a bite (the runner brought the food). When she finally came back to ask if we needed boxes - my friend explained the issues with the inedible scallops. The waitress said the owner was there and would come talk to us. The owner didn't come out, a manager never came, and the waitress dropped the bill off and walked away. She came back with the machine to run cards - no apology, no please come back another time ... nothing. I am from Maynard and was embarrassed that this is what happened.

I have visited the Newton location many times and excellent pizza. I was in the area late evening…read morebefore their 9 pm closing and i opted to try the Sudbury location . It is larger than the Newton spot and a bigger bar area, more extensive menu with many pasta dishes, appetizers. The pizza is my preference . I ordered the Dante pizza and very good meatballs slices on the pizza . The beer selections on draft are all good. I think the pizza crust was better on the Newton pizza... or a perceived perception? But maybe because I really enjoyed the Newton pizza which was the L'oscar which was grilled onions, sausage, mascarpone , olive oil, mushrooms, mozzarella. Maybe the Newton water vs. Sudbury water in the dough theory or maybe I am just being an over anal analyst of the dough? Either case both locations have great pizza. I would test the water at both locations and see affects on the dough and which water had better preferred pizza dough qualities ? Maybe then filter the water or Bri g a 5 gallon jug of the better water for the dough ? Maybe the dirty Boston water or New York water in Bew York bagels theory? Or maybe who cares ? On a different note; The oven baked wings I had in Newton were very good and meaty with the grilled onions ... I do have 1/2 pie to save for next day lunch as their pizza reheats well. I like both locations and Sudbury easier parking .

I usually sit at the bar, which is very cozy and comfortable, order up a nice Jack's Abbey House Lager, and a build-your-own pizza. Their pizzas are great. They're coal fired and although they always have some char (by design) the crust still has a nice chew to it. They seem to have really perfected the dough recipe. Everyone who works here is super friendly, and the vibe is relaxed. I love coming to Max and Leo's whenever I get the chance!

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse is exactly what you would expect from a large chain restaurant with an…read moreextensive menu that covers everything from burgers and pasta to steaks, pizzas, and desserts. We walked into a large, comfortable space with a sports bar feel that makes it an easy choice for groups since there is something for almost everyone. The atmosphere is casual and familiar, the kind of place where you can settle in without overthinking the choice, and the layout accommodates both small tables and larger parties comfortably. The menu offers plenty of variety, though it can feel overwhelming at times. We ordered a mix of dishes and found the food generally decent, with nothing particularly standing out as exceptional. Most dishes were satisfying without being especially memorable, and the portions were generous enough to share depending on what you ordered. The Pizookie is still the highlight of the menu and is easily the best reason to save room for dessert, with the warm cookie and ice cream coming together in a way that felt more distinct than the rest of the meal. The appetizers and burgers were solid, and the pasta dishes were filling, but the flavors across the menu leaned more toward dependable than exciting. Service was friendly throughout our visit, though the pace was a little slower than expected during busier times. The restaurant is well suited for families, larger groups, or anyone looking for a dependable chain restaurant without having to think too much about where to eat, and the team managed the volume without making the experience feel rushed. BJ's is a solid option when you want variety and a casual atmosphere, but it is not somewhere we would specifically go out of our way to visit. The dessert is worth trying, but the rest of the menu feels more dependable than memorable.
