"They couldn't seem to keep up with restocking the brunch buffet. There were always one or two trays with no food and a long line of people waiting for it to be filled back up."

"Good basic pub fare: burgers, sandwiches, and some fish entrees, etc. Patrons were perhaps locals who had visited the original Carrolls ie older crowd with a mix of younger, college students. Service was excellent from the host to our server. Perhaps I did not order the best item (chicken club--way too dry). The rest of my party enjoyed their selections, mussels, portabello club, salad. May try again."

"Steak salad was wonderful. However, burger was bland. A nice flame broiled burger is the only way or don't have it on the dinner menu.
Service was great. Convenient to our hotel. We'll be back!

"Good portions.....the server was very attentive, of course there was only one other table occupied on a Wed night. The most interesting clam chowder I've had. Not the best, but certainly enjoyed a different treatment of a NE classic. Parking was not well marked in this little downtown area."

"Happy to have a decent bar/restaurant in Medford Square. Dining room was dead, but it was Sunday and to be expected. Bar had nice atmosphere: hightop tables, many big-screen tvs, delicious specialty drinks. Ordered nachos (eh) and the Thai chicken app (amazing). The mac & cheese side dish is enormous-- a whole meal in itself. Will definitely be back."

"My first time at Carrolls and will return. The steak, cheese, carmalized onion eggrolls were amazing. The service could have been a lot better. I will return but will request another waitress."
