Opinions de The Ground Round Shrewsbury
The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Pot'O Gold for appetizers! Chicken parmesan sandwiches and four cheese mac and cheese for our entrees! Presentation was on point for every dish! And our waitress Chahinat was on top of everything! As soon as she saw our drinks low, she was coming to get us another! Will definitely go back again!
Came here for the first time since it opened. Very nostalgic. The service was great and there was a lot of options on the menu. Everyone was happy with their meals. ***A grilled chicken Caesar salad is always my go to trying a place, it was so good. Can't wait to come back and try out some other dishes. ***Food Mood Note: They have Coke products here! Their Diet Coke Crisp factor: super crispy!!!
We had an exceptional experience at Ground Round in Shrewsbury. The food was absolutely amazing, the atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and there was barely any wait. The service was excellent from start to finish. It’s a great spot for families—the kids loved that Tom and Jerry was playing on the TV. We’ll definitely be returning soon!
Great experience at the Ground Round in Shrewsbury. Excellent food and service. From the moment we walked in the door, we were treated like family. The hostess was polite and friendly. The restaurant was clean and inviting. While we waited for our table, we sat at the bar and ordered appetizers and drinks. The bartenders were super friendly and attentive. We ordered the Pot of Gold, which had onion rings, chicken tenders, mozzarella moons, and cheese steak egg rolls. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken tenders were most and juicy, and the onion rings were crisp and not greasy. The cheese steak egg rolls were cheesy and full of steak. We also had the potato skins, which were topped with plenty of cheddar cheese, bacon, and green onions, and with the horseradish sour cream, it made them even better. To drink, a blue moon and Guinness. After enjoying our drinks, appetizers, and, of course, fresh buttery popcorn, it was time to go to our table in the dining room, where they had old cartoons playing on flat screen tvs Our server, Sue, or as she says tsunami, was a former server at the original GR over 20 years ago. She was awesome, very knowledgeable, polite, professional, and funny. She was attentive but not intrusive. For dinner, we had BBQ Chicken and Baby Back Ribs, which, as you can see from the picture, fell off the bone, along with crispy fries and creamy coleslaw. For desert, we had the cinnamon dippers and classic slider sundaes. Everything was absolutely delicious. The owners were super friendly and gave us a couple of GR T-shirts to take home. It was great to see them there, making sure everyone was having a good time, interacting, and chatting with the guests. We even saw the Ground Round Hound, a great new addition to this family fun restaurant. The GR is the perfect place to watch the game at the bar with your friends or enjoy a family-friendly dinner in the main dining room. It's definitely a must visit.
Well, the GR did not disappoint; Went for a Sunday afternoon reunion with friends, and enjoyed my wonderful Cobb salad! It’s definitely not the ground round of the 70s, no popcorn on the floor and no black-and-white movies, but hints of the nostalgia are all there – Especially the kindness of the waitstaff and management; The newest location is decorated in Halloween memorabilia – one statue particularly stood out to us – When we told the manager that it was our anniversary on Halloween, she then commented to please take the statue and enjoy your anniversary! The meaningful thing here is the friend that married us passed away years ago and had bought the same statue for us, but returned it because we kept changing our date!! 🤣 I have never seen a statue then or since like it. The manager was kind enough to offer the statue as a gift and remembrance of my friend. Thank you Ground Round! – it was a wonderful experience and we will be back again and again and again.
My wife and I finally went to The Ground Round this past Friday night. We love that the Ground Round has returned to Shrewsbury; having taken our kids when they were young to the one near Spag's so many years ago. Our server (Susan) didn't rush us, provided good recommendations, and made us feel welcomed. The atmosphere is so friendly; even other servers walk by saying hi to everyone. The calamari appetizer was nice and light (not oil soaked like so many other establishments). I had the special, Salmon Oscar (best tasting salmon I've ever had at a restaurant). I'll order it any time I see it on their menu (hopefully, it's a frequent special). My wife really liked the baked Haddock and found it good tasting, flaky and moist. Needless to say, The Ground didn't disappoint. We will return soon! You will not be disappointed if you go there.
We went to the Ground Round to see how the place was after reopening. I must say that the visit, by any stretch was stellar! Lyn had a classic cheeseburger, Michelle had a chicken wrap, and I had the Ground Rounder, medium rare. Lyn enjoyed her cheeseburger quite a lot. Michelle really enjoyed her chicken wrap quite a bit! My Ground Rounder. I can speak to my experience. That burger, to my utter astonishment, was an experience like you dream about. The burger was perfectly cooked. The first bite I took hit me like a wash of divine revelation. The meat was so impeccably tender. The fixings augmented the experience to a blissful level. This is far beyond your typical foodgasm. I was reminiscing about each bite I took after I took it. And to crank up the experience to stellar, was our server, Tamara. We had some things come out that weren't quite right. Tamara handled it so perfectly. Just took care of each thing and made it right. Like I asked for onion rings and I got fries. Tamara took care of like a boss. Michelle's wrap was missing sauce. Tamara made it a total non-issue in the blink of an eye. The random other requests we had were fulfilled in a professional manner the likes of which you never forget. Michelle and Tamara even got to chatting about things and Tamara even had some unexpectedly useful tips! I massively enjoyed my experience there and I still remember it fondly. Tamara deserves a hell of a pay raise or a unicorn or something. Totally unreal. Can't wait to do it again.
We had a wonderful visit to The Ground Round yesterday, we were greeted warmly and sat promptly in a cozy booth on the dining room. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to ensure we received refills or additional requests. I ordered the Grilled Salmon, it came with fresh green beans that were cooked to perfection. Great experience and great food! We will be back soon.
Solid 4 stars. Everything was pretty good, nothing blew my socks off. We started with the pot of gold app, and it was solid. The shell was, um, interesting . It was hard to eat, because it fell apart every time you tried to break some off. We swapped out the onion rings for fries, and they were excellent. The chicken fingers were good, and they had a great honey mustard. The steak egg roll was just good. It was a lot of food, so we ended up just going with soup and chili as the entre. The cheddar broccoli soup was ok. The chili was lackluster - I'd honestly prefer Wendy's chili... We will probably go back, and actually eat entrees. Service was pretty good.
I was excited when I heard the ground round was back! Such a nostalgic restaurant. I loved the popcorn and French onion soup. I ordered the chicken parm for dinner and was not impressed. Also the drinks were super strong. Not a bad thing, sometimes ! It was almost too strong to enjoy, my fiancee returned her Mai Thai because it was overpowering with alcoholand got a beer. Based on my overall experience I would return to have apps, a strong drink and a dessert. Our server was super friendly and welcoming.
I ordered fish and chips for dinner, wife had Cobb salad, friends had ribs and steak tips. They said ribs were delicious and steak tips were good. They got onion rings as a side and mashed potatoes... sides were okay. Onion rings looked great but tasted just okay. Wife's salad was delicious. My fish was huge. Not greasy at all. Way too much for me to finish in one sitting. Fries were okay. We'll be back to try the ribs 😀
It was a cool nostalgic trip to go back to a ground round! We got the Pot of Gold appetizer combo. The onion rings and chicken tenders were decent, the steak and cheese egg rolls were good and cheesy but a bit salty, and the mozzarella half moons were very good with a crisp crust and a molten center that has a nice cheese pull! I ordered a medium rare BBQ Whiskey Burger that was cooked to medium but was pretty tasty. We also tried the Baby Back Ribs and Shrimp, the ribs were good and tasty but the Shrimp were like a salt lick. Our server was cordial and did return to check on us but seemed like they were trying to manage too many tables at the same time. We will definitely return to try more of the menu!
A good mix of nostalgia and food Like many people reviewing the newest Ground Round restaurant, I remember going there during my childhood. Though my memories are little more than the silent cartoons, popcorn, and baseball cap sundaes, I was still excited when I heard about the Shrewsbury location opening. At the time of this review, we have tried to go three times, but only succeeded twice due to excessive crowds. If you are planning on going I recommend making a reservation if you are a party of 6+, or showing up before opening and waiting by the door. The seating on the restaurant side is a mix of rather large booths and free standing tables. Shortly after being seated we were given a basket of popcorn and had our drink orders taken. For soda they have coke products. They also have juice as an option for children. Service speed was a little on the slow side, unsurprisingly considering how busy they are, so I recommend looking at the menu before going and deciding what you want so you can order immediately after reviewing whatever the specials are. The overall ambiance was good. Its a much brighter, well lit, and cleaner building than the ones I remember from my youth. Though the floorplan was fairly open, it was also crowded and loud. This is fairly normal for a popular restaurant and nothing to discourage you from attending. For appetizers we tried the pretzels which came out very hot with your choice of two sauces. Both times we had them, our party very quickly devoured them. The one improvement for them would be if they came precut. We ordered the kids popcorn chicken, kids mac and cheese, chicken parmigiana, and haddock both visits and the food quality was mostly consistent. The serving sizes were generous and with the exception of the popcorn chicken were enough for two meals if you paced yourself. The taste of the haddock varied slightly between visits. The first visit the fries were fairly normal flavored but the second they were obviously seasoned. As there is only one entry on the menu for fries, I expect they simply forgot to add seasoning the first time. I liked the seasoned fries a lot, it was a subtle hint of spice that lingered. We were a little surprised that all the dished come with pesto seasoning, but it didn't detract from the dish. If you don't like pesto though, tell your server when you order. The popcorn chicken was well received and the mac in cheese was real, not just an over priced box of kraft. Our party also tried the salmon and sirloin on our second visit. The serving size of the salmon was much smaller, there wasn't enough for leftovers. The steak was a good size and could be stretched to two meals. There were no complaints about the food. We also tried multiple desserts. The first time we ordered the apple crisp, sundae, and flower pot. The table crisp was good, though they use tart apples so it wasn't as sweet as I would like. The sundae comes in a Woo Sox baseball cap which you get to keep and while light on the fudge was what you would expect. The flower pot, which you also get to keep, was creative but nothing we felt the need to order a second time. Though they say they have homemade whip cream, and I personally found it tasty, it tastes like it is a modified or thickened cool whip. Overall I am very glad I got to take my children to a restaurant I have fond memories of. The price was on the higher side for a family of four, over $30 per person when you consider appetizers, desert, and tip. I would certainly go again for a special occasion, but not for a normal family dinner out.
Just got takeout and almost drove back with it. Everything just stuffed in one container. Steak tips buried in the mashed and onion rings don't belong in the same container. Nevermind all the condiment containers that don't belong in there either. Come on, do better! This makes fast food look appetizing.
