Returned to McKay's after finding it last year. Went on St. Patrick's Day. Surprisingly, the wait for a table was not bad. Had full belly clam dinner, eggs Benedict, and French toast with sausage. Everything was delicious! The portions are ample. Can't go wrong with their reasonable prices. Very busy spot. Only wish the wait staff was more welcoming.

Two friends and I had dinner together at The Fours on a Thursday evening. We sat in the main dinning room which offered a pleasant, quiet atmosphere. Waitress attended us right away and provided excellent service throughout the meal. Two of us had the salmon or stuffed haddock dinner, which were both excellent. The third person had a stuffed chicken selection. Servings were plentiful, We didn't have room for dessert. Entrees might be considered by some a little expensive, $20 and above, though sides come with the meals. City of Quincy offers free evening parking at several nearby lots, which made coming to The Fours for dinner less stressful.

Food was good and plentiful. Small townie restaurant that has been around for a long time. Prices were reasonable and a good selection. Clean tables and friendly staff made for a fun visit.Recommend trying it once as townie restaurants are not for everyone.

You can get lost in the blackboard menu here. There is so much that sounds so good.If you are a pancake fan you need to come here. They have an amazing selection. Just read the blackboard and order. You cannot go wrong here.This is obviously a popular local place. They know their customers.We really enjoyed our breakfast and came back a second time.

The atmosphere is simple, like eating with your own family and friends. The food is perfect and so tasty, the service is quick and everyone is polite and funny. The regulars seem to get hugs from the staff and everything just seems to flow so nicely in the kitchen. I was here two years ago with friends and family and everything I like about this restaurant has remained the same and I love this so much in my eating experience; consistency in service and good food is everything in a good dining experience!

We came here to celebrate a special occasion.The table was perfect. The hostess was not friendly and the bar crowd was very loud. Not off to a good start. Our server was perfection and the crowd quieted down. We had a charcuterie plate and I had a delicious rack of lamb while my companion had a surf and turf. The meals were outstanding. The cocktails were on point and we had a delicious bottle of wine. I will definitely return.

I accompanied my fiance to have a birthday dinner at Cheesecake factory at Braintree after she finished her work of the day.Since we had some experience with different restaurants (such as McCormick & Schmicks or Oceanaire) offering free birthday cake, we asked the waiter before our order. She told us that they also offer âcelebration cakeâ. After we finished all dishes, she brought the cake with a little candle. Even though the cake doesnât really represent the level of Cheesecake factory, since I assumed it was free, I didnât comment on it. However, when we get the bill, we realized that we were charged $8.50 for the terrible taste cake. The issue here is: if we need to pay for it, at least we should have the right to choose something I really like, instead of forced to pay something tastes so bad. I called the manager but she also insisted that we need to pay for the cake, which we didn't even bother to finish.Frankly, the dish orders tasted very good. If not the problem of the cake, this will be a wonderful evening. So, please be aware that Cheesecake factory DOES NOT offer free cheesecake at all. You need to ask for the menu to choose one for yourself. Donât be trapped as we did!Hello Dn4262. We would like to speak with you a bit more about your experience.

Our family was in town for my sons wedding and found the Hatter in his neighborhood. Glad we did we had excellent food including Lobster mac and cheese and some nice Irish specialties. Our waitress was so good and personable we will be back every time we visit our son and his new wife.

If you are to be a top rated restaurant and charging $32 for a small Ribeye, expectation are not top rated steak house but better than TGI Fridayâs! Wow! Total disappointment for 4th visit. Mediocre steak, service lackluster at best and manager more interested in his âShirley Temple.âSlowly declining and not even close to quality.

Visited recently with a work group, not having been previously but knowing how good seafood was around Boston was looking forward to having a lobster dish and was not disappointed when receiving my lobster roll order.We had some group starters and the main dish was tasty as expected, waiting staff were very efficient and overall a good visit. Easy to get to especially if you happen to be staying at the Hyatt which is right next door
