Stopped in while dropping kid off at Framingham State. Looked for something "american-ish". Tried this place. Not bad. Has a good size bar in the front with lots of Boston sports memorabilia. Dining room is rest of place. Nothing great but not bad and it was clean. Solid middle of the road place. Super friendly staff. Got seated right away a little after 12 ( not many people there, maybe bc holiday). They bring you a bowl of fresh popcorn. Ordered some food from Emily (super nice). Things are a bit on the pricier side then expected (compared to chain restaurants for same food) but not crazy. They run a special for under $15. I got the thanksgiving dinner which was sliced turkey (so its not deli meat but it's not carved turkey. It's one of those turkey loin things sliced. It was decent),

I went solo to the Framingham location next to Trader Joe’s, had lunch and service was great. Forgot names but my server was a man with glasses and bald with facial hair and he was being helped by someone I think was a supervisor; an older gentleman. Both took very good care of me. Were constantly checking on me, my order and they were very prompt to my requests. And my fried chicken plate was delicious!!!! Someone kept vacuuming the floors, place was clean. Great experience.

Food was better than decent. The lobster flatbread was outstanding. The French Dip was good, but curiously sweet. The bartender did a decent job, but was more interested in talking to friends/regulars about her weight loss regiment than spotting my empty glass.

The place is very controversial. First what meets you is the absence of staff on the entrance. You may easily wait 10-15 minutes for someone to come and seat you, despite the entrance is in the line of sight of the bartender. Then the odor. Maybe it was an unlucky event, but it felt as a smell of a stale fish. The interior is clean, however the place itself feels tight, maybe because of the wall to the right of the tables row. The dish selection is good, and what you can call “thoughtful”, it is combined to represent the bests of USA cuisine. It bears the mark of a good chief. The staff: attentive, friendly, and at the same time not unobtrusive. The sad part of the story is a food. The fish (yep, we ordered it) didn’t taste fresh. Country fried chicken tasted the same as what you’d expect

Sooooooooo..... We didn't even get to sit long enough to enjoy our food. Our waitress brought us some popcorn, and that's when the mice started coming out. We saw one and were like, okay, let's not freak out and try to get something to eat. But then another one came running from the other end of the restaurant, one ran to my feet, and another was jumping off of one of the booths. I went over and asked the host if we could leave because we just saw four mice, and he got the manager. The manager apologized and asked for us to give them another chance. This was my first time here, and I don't think I'll be coming back.
