"We had a wonderful dinner here which hit the spot without breaking the bank. The butternut squash soup was a creamy sweet start to the meal. The bread with sweet butter was delicious - wished there were more pieces of bread. The buttermilk fried chicken was juicy and flavorful. The braised pork tagliatelle was a hit with a creamy citrusy cheese sauce. Nice decor and cozy looking fireplace."

"Yesterday (Friday, 14Nov25) was their second evening of service and it was BUSY. I surprised my wife with a trip to this place and hoped to easily snag a two top since we got there around 5pm on a Friday, boy did I miscalculate. We got there and was told there was going to be a 30min wait, a hour later our table was as ready She got the maple old fashioned and I got the espresso martini, both were very good. We started with the bread and butter (bread was fine, soft but not warm and the butter tasted like a sweet cream butter), cheese fries w mushroom gravy (I like mushrooms and this gravy was MUSHROOMY, kind of just like a rendered down cream of mushroom soup, which is to say it was as good just be prepared for a mushroom punch to the face). Spoiler alert: as others hav mentioned, the fries were fried well and were my favorite food of the night. As a fan of Cantonese food, I saw braised tripe as an appetizer and had to try it; much different than the dim sum tripe I'm used to (worked well w the cannolini beans but you kind of just got the texture of triple and not really the flavor). For my wife's main she got the veggie burger (bean based patty, said it was dry) w the side salad; her favorite part of the meal was the side salad (just mixed greens, no tomato or cucumbers etc), was head over heels w whatever dressing they used. I heard good reviews about the fried chicken so I tried it for myself. I'm usually an asshole and request dark meat but as this was their second day, I stopped myself. It came out piping out and did look a smidge black in some places but the chicken itself was cooked very well, still juicy inside. However the breading was very bland and the accompanying veggie slaw was fine. As someone who got accustomed to the GFC (Greek fried chicken) of Committee in the Seaport + Highland Fried's fried chicken, I was hoping this could be my new fried chicken place but alas it is not it. All of which is to say I would come back here but after the opening craziness dies down!"

"I gave their food a try the other night and am glad that I did. I ordered Branzino special and it was so freaking good. My dining companion had the burger. It wasn’t one of those burgers that need a bazillion toppings to be good. It was simple, but excellent. We asked and the buns are made in house. You can tell. I found the prices to be very reasonable especially considering the quality. They have a bunch of beers for $5, but also a robust draft list and some drinks that are hard to find on tap around here. The Hollows is an excellent addition to the neighborhood and has that neighborhood bar feel. Worth the hype. I’m looking forward to going back."

"Food was so good I forgot to take a picture of the entrées! The bone-in fried chicken was juicy, soft & fried to perfection in a light but deeply delicious batter. The market fish was served whole, leading with the char-grilled flavor and an amazing caper sauce, made New-American with fried onions. So good. Picture is of the delicata squash appetizer - the perfect plate to warm up a winter appetite."

"I'm impressed. When Rudy's went away we were saddened, but we enjoy The Hollows, where Rudy's queso and house margaritas live on. Everything else we tried at this themed restaurant (Halloween? Goth?) was spectacular. I'll definitely get the breakfasty Smothered and Covered again, and the gnocchi was delicious. Try the house made hot sauces! (On the downside they do seem to have slightly less seating than before the changeover, and we gave up the first time we tried to visit, though that might have been a result of an opening week rush.)"
