This place was pretty good for a hotel bar. It was not seedy and the food and drinks were really good. We went here three nights in a row and enjoyed ourselves. (We were in the hotel for a conference.) The liqueur is top shelf and the service is fast and friendly.

From the moment the Back Room opened it had been a local gem with delicious food, a great craft beer selection, and creative, fun specialty cocktails. The taps are constantly rotating with a variety of local and regional microbreweries, as well as larger national breweries. The food would best be described as âItalian American bar fareâ. The menu features bar food twists on traditional Italian dishes, as well as your typical bar fare (I.e wings, salads, burgers). Iâd recommend the meatballs al nonna, which features two large meatballs with marinara, fresh ricotta, and mozzarella cheese. Itâs a great appetizer for sharing. The vibe is lively and fun. Only downside is the building is small so seating is limited. Typically around dinner time it can be difficult to grab a seat, so be prepared for a wait on weekends especially.
5. Buccaneer Lounge
Reviewed By Steve P
It started out nice with a quick beer and menu and then nothingness. No follow through, no order taken. The menu looked good but I will never know. The day lady was too busy with the exit plan and the night lady was too busy eating behind the bar, texting and only taking care of the locals. Had to flag her down to show her the very empty beer glass. The beer selection was good as was the popcorn. I noticed not one soul was eating anything from the kitchen. Hmmm... everything happens for a reason.

Lots of games: Pool table, shuffle board, foosball, megatouch, buck hunter. You can order food from Theodore's (great bbq). A piece of history. Amazing authentic decor. Great bartenders and unbelievable beer selection. Fun place to go after dinner to hang out with friends.
3. Buck
Reviewed By sweet84732
I'm not a regular at the Buccaneer and I've heard the clientele is well not my type of crowd, but the food is outstanding. The Buc is definitely a hidden gem of REAL fresh food that is very reasonably priced. We normally order it to go and have been pleasently surprised with every meal.

We have been going to this restaurant since it opened many years ago. The menu has changed( I miss their grilled chicken salad so much) here and there since then but food is good in a inexpensive to moderate price range! My husband and I and our three grandsons went here recently and we had good food with moderate prices at this chain restaurant. My only continuing problem with this restaurant, which continues to be the âsame problem, (these past few years) at âTHIS LOCATION ON RT 5 ONLYâ is that no matter when I go in there, no matter how many in our party , no matter how busy or absolutely empty the restaurant is, âINEVITABLY WE ARE GREETED IN A VERY FRIENDLY BUT NONETHELESS DISTRACTED/GEE, WE ARE SO BUSY ATTITUDEâ and the hostess points to benches in the entranceway and says âI AM AFRAID YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT & I WILL CALL YOU WHEN A TABLE OPENS UP.â I will then poke my head in, seeing dozens of open tables ( some easily seen on other side of open entrance to the restaurant) and ask âBUT THERE ARE TONS OF TABLES THAT ARE EMPTY!â She will then smile sheepishly and say âOh, we have to clean off a table for you!â I then point to the empty tables and ask her âWHAT ABOUT THOSE?â She will stammer, embarrassed and then rapidly rush off into the restaurant somewhere( to get away from any further questions I surmise to reappear approximately anywhere from five to ten mins., if not longer, exclaiming proudly âOK, I CLEANED OFF TABLE SO I CAN SEAT YOU NOW!â I am really irritated by now because number one âIF THIS IN FACT WAS TRUEâ, then my question is, in an either empty or only few tables filled restaurant âWHY WASNâT THIS MYSTERIOUS TABLE CLEARED OFF EARLIER, LIKE AFTER LAST CUSTOMERS LEFTâ, instead of waiting to clear a table, once ânew customers arrive?â Doesnât make sense! Is it not enough wait staff on? I look around and that particular day, it seemed well staffed so âWHY IS THIS A CONTINUING PROBLEM EVERY SINGLE VISIT AT THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION?â On busy times it is understandable but not when it is quiet, like last week or âMY VERY FAVORITEâ, it opened last SATURDAY! We were literally the first customers in the restaurant w/ my three grandsons( party of four)! We walked in 20 mins after they opened! Well, not only were there âno customers in restaurant but there was NO STAFF...ANYWHERE!â No one in bar, hostess or waitress! We literally stood there 14 mins! A few times I wanted to leave but kids begged me to stay because they love eating there! My mistake was giving this restaurant another chance after each time I go and am so irritated! About 7 mins into standing there ( checked my watch) someone from bar was carrying something out to bar( bartender I assumed) and I said âIs anyone working here?â She said âYeah, sheâll be outâ( twice she told me that and presumably told the hostess I was there) when eventually she walked out, no rush and casually got menus. I told her how long we had been there and she said âYeah!â I was busy!â Seriously? LOL! Lucky us, she was our waitress, disappearing in kitchen for huge chunks of time( I went looking for her and she was gabbing in back to another waitress.). I was furious. Food came out cold( she was so busy talking to other employees that I wondered if chefâs fault or hers but food not coming out hot( tepid or lukewarm to cold is another serious continuing problem at this restaurant! It is ridiculous really because it happens here on a regular basis! Been coming here with my teenage sons for yrs and now grandkids but I wonât be back! Bill was not cheap and for that kind of lackluster food and service there are to many excellent restaurants around to have to repeatedly be treated like this and food being cold with âso-so menuâ( ON THE BORDER, LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE, 99 RESTAURANT, OUTBACK AND HOOTERS RESTAURANTS, all with restaurants that want your business, good menus, good prices and staff that cares and doesnât offer thousands of excuses for dismal food, service and excuses! Why go to Chilis? I wonât!

BEST BBQ I (we) ever had.Called ahead b4 our Trip to Springfield MA.We were staying over to see Aerosmith in town.They told us to get there at 5 when they opened.They were not kidding. People were waiting outside.We got in, and was met with a smell of fresh popcorn. Great start!!!!Our server was awesome!! Super friendly, and she told us that we should pre-order the burnt ends appetizer as we order our meals, as they will be gone. We wanted something for our midnight snack in our room after the show. Apps: Hubby ordered a cup of gumbo. He loved it.I ordered the bourbon wings.They are to die for!For my meal, I ordered half rack of baby back ribs.OMG, they were meaty, tender, and fell off the bone, had to pick up with a fork.sides: honey slaw, baked beans, onion rings, corn bread. All were awesome.Everything was served hot.Hubby ordered the brisket and absolutely loved it. Said it was the best heâs had.Very tender.His sides: same as me, aside from onion rings, he got the Mac ân cheese.He wasnât super jazzed about that, not creamy, cheese enough to his liking.Did not dismiss his meal, he loved everything else.Note!!!!! The baked beans, alone are beyond amazing. I would definitely recommend these.Huge portions. Took rest home from hotel, and we will have for dinner 2nite.We cannot recommended this place enough.Awesome food, Awesome service, Great vibe and energy, reasonable prices.GO!!!!
