"I really enjoyed this neighborhood dive. Somehow I never made my way over here and now I wish I had gone sooner! With so few neighborhood bars in the area, I'm so glad that I not only found one, but a great one. It looks like there is. Trivia night on Tues which I will def check out! The atmosphere is bright and cheery despite a little sticky menu grime. While you wait they give you the most buttery salty movie theater popcorn to munch on. The food was very good. I recommend the surprisingly good clam strip roll and the burgers are juicy and delish. Gluten free rolls are available too. The service here is stand out. The wait staff is genuinely friendly and they truly offer great service. I wouldn't come here to impress visiting in town family, but for those more frequent times where you want a comfortable friendly neighborhood spot where you can watch the game, enjoy a cold beer, and eat some comfort food, this is your place."

"Happened to be in Watertown, googled nearby restaurants for lunch and Halfway cafe came up as a suggestion. It was only a mile away, so I decided to try it out. In business since 1964, it turned out to be a lively place with friendly staff and good food. I ordered a beer, which came with a small bowl of movie theater popcorn to much in while I waited for my grilled chicken sandwich. I enjoyed my yummy lunch while watching the French open on one of the large screen tv’s. A nice place to hang if you find yourself in Watertown."

"It’s unfortunate I’m giving a mid rating because this place is great with a wonderful staff and great selection of meals and drinks. Came here to try their Rueben, and it was a let down. Bread was soggy and had a taste of cardboard. The meat was extra fatty which I’ve had before but meat tasted like it was pulling out of a bag and warmed up for a bit then dropped on the plate. The sauerkraut was expected to be flavorful and it only came to be subpar. The only saving grace for the sandwich was the dressing and the pickles. I would highly recommend anyone to get anything else on the menu. Incredible wings with great many sauces. Great beer selection too. But the Rueben is a definite no."

"A gem I wish hadn't taken me so many years to discover! I swung by with a friend for Sunday afternoon football, and we had a fantastic experience. The atmosphere was very cozy and perfect for football: not too loud at all, and there were plenty of TVs showing the Pats game & RedZone to be easily viewed from any seats in the joint. The fellow patrons were delightful to hang out with for a few hours, very fun and there were many regulars. The service was fast, friendly, and made us feel like regulars on our first visit. Prices were extremely reasonable. The food surpassed expectations (especially the fries, they're as good as they look in everyone's pictures)! There was also a great draft beer selection, and the bartender absolutely nailed it serving in chilled glasses. We will *definitely* be coming back soon!"

"i have to say that this place has the best onion rings! i have had many dishes here but almost always get onion rings. this visit i got the smoke house burger and my partner had the ultimate chicken sandwich which i have had before. everything had a great flavor and was cooked to order. the staff was attentive and very polite. will definitely be going back."
