What began as a beloved neighborhood dive bar has grown into a full-service restaurant where friends, families, and neighbors come together to share good food and good company.

What a great restaurant in Maynard center! Both outdoor & indoor seating (both low top booths & high top bar tables), great espresso martini, nice burger (with gluten-free bun) & tasty home-made tots, and really nice Caesar salad, with marinated grilled chicken. Food quality is surprisingly elevated, atmosphere is ''friendly neighborhood gem'', fine for all ages.
The Chicken Cesar Wrap was prepared with meticulous attention to detail. It was accompanied by two slices of watermelon and homemade chips. The dining area was immaculate, with soft ambient music playing in the background. A friendly waitress promptly received my lunch order. I arrived shortly after noon, before the establishment began to fill up with other patrons. I highly recommend visiting this establishment to savor delectable cuisine and enjoy a tranquil ambiance.
My husband and I recently moved to Maynard, and it's now one of our favorite restaurants! Delicious food, great music, and the girl who serves mid-afternoon is very attentive and does an excellent job! The dessert is definitely exquisite. Order the chocolate cake; it's colossal, just like the menu says!
Fun place to eat - love that they have set up tables outside (with umbrellas so if some of your party need shade, no problem!). The staff was super nice & attentive, and the food was great. They've got some interesting menu options - not just the standard cafe menu.
Maynard landmark with a great atmosphere, top notch beer list, and great cocktails mixed with yummy pub grub. Their Maple Old Fashioned is above what you normally get at some other pubs. Their bartender knows what she is doing. Love the PC.
