7. Happy Jack's

My wife and I stopped by for dinner. This was one of those places that you always say you should try out but just never do. Well, long story short, I wish we hadn't. I ordered crab cakes, the meal version with a baked potato and green beans. There is also an appetizer version. My wife ordered fish tacos. It took, what I thought was a long time for our dinner to arrive and when it did, what a disappointment it was. The crab cakes were burned on both sides and I mean charred black. The potato was over cooked, dried out and mealy. No butter but I did get a little container of sour cream. My wife said the fish taco was pretty good but not anything special. Despite Happy Jack's decent ratings it was a dud for me tonight. Maybe I'll go back and see if they can redeem themselves but probably won't...... too bad, I really wanted to like this place.

Frequent this restaurant quite often in both NY and in Fitchburg, MA. The quality, and service in both locations has always been excellent. You can get everything from appetizers to complete meals,and that includes children's menu items. My favorites are the New Orleans Shrimp, and Beef tips. Plan on bringing some home, the portions are quite large.Usually frequent this restaurant about 4 or 5 times a month. The menu choices are quite extensive.

My husband and I visited Massachusetts for a week long vacation. On our last night, we wanted someplace close to our lodging and someplace we could watch baseball. Legends answered both of those needs. When we pulled in the parking lot, i did not have high hopes for a great meal. It looked like a neighborhood sports bar. I need to say first and foremost, the ladies working at Legends are super friendly and hard working. The food was very good and the drinks were generous. I would recommend Legends to anyone, great food, nice atmosphere. Thank you for giving us the opportunity and for your review. We're glad you enjoyed your visit to Legends!

3. 873 Cafe

Its been years since 873 Cafe has opened and I kept hearing good things from friends and family about it. Finally, we decided to give it a shot for a lunch meeting. We arrived around 12:30 and the place was absolutely dead, we were the only people in the dining room. The set up is a confusing for those that have never been, there appears to be a dining room, bar area and another cafe type set up in another room across the hall. Service was attentive and pleasant. I ordered a Triple Decker Turkey Club with gluten free bread. It was quite good, with REAL turkey, not deli meat. I especially liked that they grill the bread vs toasting it, so it made the bread hold up to the sandwich fillings. Their homemade chips are tasty, especially with the dill dip they serve with it. The dip was so tasty I used it in my sandwich instead of mayo. The menu was varied with an American menu of burgers, sandwiches, chicken fingers, salads, etc. We will definitely be back as their appetizer menu look really good-I can see this place being good for appetizers and drinks (they have a full bar).

Drove past here at 4pm on a Sat afternoon. There were some cars in the lot so we decided to check it out. Entering we saw 4 or 5 tables with dinners sitting at them and the bar was about half full. It took us maybe 5 min to get seated and once at a table we were informed that a a waitress would be with us shortly. 10 min later a person came by and told us the same thing but said she would take our drink order now. Ordering one of their signature drinks and a margarita we figured we were all set. However, the wait person came back and told us they couldn't do the signature drink and asked if I wanted something else. After our drinks were almost gone our waitress came by and took our orders. It took forever to get our meals and they were just about like everything else. The ribs were overcooked, the brisket undercooked and everything was just warm. The mac and cheese was gluey and cold but the potato salad and corn bread were both good. All in all, 50% at best. There are some good BBQ places within a few miles of this place, if you need a BBQ fix, try another place first.

We usually visit the Townsend House on weekday evenings and receive great service and very good food. This time we tried a Saturday night, major mistake, it was extremely crowded which says a lot about the restaurant but doesn't improve the dining experience. Service was very slow which can be expected on a busy night but our server was having an especially bad night. Had to ask several times about our drink order and other tables were being seated after us but served before us. The waitress seemed totally at a loss. The fried food was over done as well, easy to do when the kitchen is overwhelmed. We will continue to go to the Townsend House because it's usually a great time, just not on a weekend
