We had a great time at Angelina's. We had an appetizer of Mussels in a white wine sauce and that had great flavor. For our main course, we had a special entree. It was a chicken dish over spinach tagliatelle pasta with mushrooms and a Marsala sauce. Again, great taste and it was a good sized portion. Service was excellent as usual at Angelina's. We will definitely return.

Beverly

About the restaurant

A&B Burgers is one of those restaurants, one that has transitioned into a dining scene based around hospitality, creative menus and a space driven by the energy of the bar. Not everyone feels like eating a burger and with that in mind, we built a menu that offers options for those times. We have guests who have been dining with us for 8 years now and have never eaten one of our award-winning burgers, instead, they enjoy sharing a few small plates to start and then order entrees with a bottle of wine. Just because we are so well known for our award-winning burgers doesn’t mean that’s all we do well. You’ll need to come in and experience this for yourselves and we promise you it will be worth it!veryone isn’t looking for the same casual restaurant experience that is so common these days. We are working daily to elevate our restaurant from a predictable neighborhood restaurant to one that offers a change from the norm and excites with each visit.

Very good pub food. Bar was backed up on beverages and appeared a little short staffed. Wait staff was very friendly. Outdoor dining space available, too!

Bonefish Harry's is hands down the best in spot in Beverly. It's been our go-to spot for everything from a cozy date night, to a laid back lunch, to drinks with the lads on their back deck. The food is always on point, the prices are surprisingly affordable (in this economy!) and the staff makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Whether your craving delicious tacos, mind blowing smash burgers, amazing seafood, or just a great cocktail / IPA, Bonefish HITS every time. Good vibes, great people, amazing food, what more could you ask for?!?!

Hamilton

About the restaurant

Even though Post is a new name for most of us, it has been an important part of South Hamilton history since 1924. The historic building at 16 Bay Rd. was home to the South Hamilton Post Office, and a place for residents to send and pick up letters. In response to the Great Depression, and a drop in the postage rate (from three cents to 2 cents), the Postmaster added more opportunities for residents to pick up their mail. At Post, which at the time was known as “the brick block building”, letters were piled on a table, and a bell was rung to let residents know that they could come and retrieve their mail. Keeping with that tradition, guests of Post will have an opportunity to “Ring the Bell”, which signifies that they have bought a beer for our hard working kitchen and waitstaff. Whether you are coming in to dine with family and friends, grabbing a drink and an appetizer, or picking up takeout on the way home, Post is here for you – rain or shine.

North Reading

About the restaurant

Horseshoe Grill in North Reading has been family-owned since the 1920s when it was originally a supper club for members only. That changed in 1957 and, since then, patrons have come from all over to sample the famous ribs that have made Horseshoe Grill an institution. The relaxing atmosphere inside makes it the perfect place to get to work on a rack of ribs, lobster Rangoon, Thai chili calamari or nachos. There is lighter fare at Horseshoe Grill too like the Asian chicken lettuce wraps, cheese quesadilla, ahi tuna and summer fruit salad. There are gluten-free options on the menu too.
