Been here several times and have always had a great experience all around. Great food. Great service. Today however it was spoiled by less than mediocre service. A lot of attitude by the waiter from the get go. Someone else brought the food out and when he came back 10 minutes later we mentioned something ordered was missing. He didn’t say anything but then asked if we wanted more drinks and when mentioned it again he gave us nothing but attitude about it. I hope next time we go I can replace this review with a more positive service rating. Very disappointed.

Even though it’s pub Food I love the food there. Had the nacho plate with melted cheese, diced tomatoes and jalapenos. We also had the mozzarella sticks which were warm and the coating crunchy. They’re sweet potato fries are to die for and they’re fish and chips are lightly coated with bread crumbs and deep fried to perfection.

JB’s has been here a while and is pretty good. It’s like most pub style restaurants. The food is good and the staff is friendly. Wednesday is $5 burger night so that’s a nice option. Lots of different beers on tap and mine was always delivered to the table ice cold. It’s not food related but I love the historical pictures of Waltham and it’s old businesses that are hanging throughout the restaurant. I will definitely be back again with friend for more beers and burgers.

Another great google find. We sat in the dining room. The service was amazing and server was very pleasant. We loved the semi rustic Atmosphere. Booths were very comfortable near the window with slighting higher table. Water was delicious and soda wasn’t watered down. We shared a delicious house salad spilt in half with five different vegetables with pepperoncinis and house dressing. My wife at a very tasty veggie burger with sautéed onions, American cheese, range dressing on toasted wheat bread. I had today’s special baked haddock with sweet potato and parmesan breading with rice pilaf, carrots, Broccoli, and cauliflower. We can highly recommend John Brewer’s Tavern.

What a great find! Our party of seven was looking for a place for lunch and we found John Brewer’s through a Google search. None of us had ever been here, but the menu looked interesting. Serendipity! Each of us enjoyed our meals. Service was very attentive. Prices were reasonable.

They have not once gotten a pick up order correct in 2.5 years and today was the final straw. Two hairs in two different dishes and one sandwich was the complete opposite of what we ordered. And that’s what the carrots looked like. Disgusting all around.
