Recently, the Fat Guys went out to 90 Commercial Street, Worcester Ma. This is, of course, Off The Rails! While this is obviously more set up for shows or performances, it still provides a nice and more local version of a Hard Rock style cafe. The service was quick and friendly. The prices are fair if a little high for portion or quality levels, especially for the area as well. The fries were lightly warm, shoe string but not terrible. The portion was fair on the fries as well. Both sandwiches came with these, so that part was the same across the board. The $18 Nashville hot chicken sandwich was a fair diameter. The patty itself had an almost sandpaper texture of really thin breading. The sauce was a nice fair hot sauce but was limited in quantity. The patty was a little dry and thin but still good. This had a simple bun, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle slices. These were crisp and fresh and the bun soft. The $19.75 7oz BBQ bacon burger was our other sampling. We were disappointed that the bbq was a low-end style ketchup base. The patty was good, as was the crispy bacon and cheddar cheese. The flights of drinks were exceptional and vibrant fruit flavored margaritas. Overall, they earn a slight above average 2.5 FATBELLIES rating.

Not too long ago, the Fatguys went to the Dublin Road Taproom and Eatery(the Shattuck on the receipt). This is located at 53 Dublin Rd, Jaffrey, NH 03452. The restaurant had an amazing view and felt like a grand hall with its vaulted high ceiling and big windows. All food had to be ordered at the counter. The prices were definitely fair. That said, their Wednesday 1/2 price burger special received our attention. We both took advantage of the Bacon Bleu burgers. We had one order with potato salad with onion rings. The potato salad was creamy, moist, and delicious. It was a soup bowl full. The onion rings were some of the best we have had. They were thick, lightly crispy, yet tender inside. The burgers themselves were fair sized and juicy despite resembling a smash burger. It was a little heavier cooked than we personally prefer. The bacon is perfectly tender with just enough crispness. The bleu cheese crumbles were fresh and plentiful. The bun was a bit basic and let down an otherwise great burger. This was all served on disposable plates. The burger meals were regularly $15.48, so the 1/2 price special was a great deal. The staff was friendly and quick as well. Overall, Dublin Road Taproom and Eatery score 4 FATBELLIES as a rating!

Recently, the Fatguys went to 537 Main St, Indian Orchard, MA 01151; to finally try the Bickhouse Tavern. While they do have an ample parking lot, look for the funeral home sign, and it can only be entered from one way on the road.The layout inside was a little cramped and the staff friendly but discombobulated. We found it confusing. We loved their more original menu category, naming such as "Grave" for salads and such. We started with their fried mozzarella.They describe these as wedges of golden fried cheese. These were vastly different. The best comparison I can give is a mozzarella schnitzel. Yes, I know it's a weird comparison. The breading, the texture, and the seasoning the only difference was that the thin vineeer of cheese not pork.While, they were very good and crunchy expect them to be vastly different. The chunky marinara that was almost like a salsa worked perfectly in tandem with the mozzarella.They were $13.95. The cobb came for $9.95. It was a generous portion size.It had real bacon that was slightly crispy. Then, there were delightful hard-boiled egg halves that were juicy. It also had scallions, black olives, red onions,all on tomatoes, and greens. It also had plentiful Bleu Cheese crumbles. My slightly fussy sister even said this was good. The only complaint, and this is more a personal choice, was the dressing which they were willing to substitute.
Next were the baked scallops. These were moist and tender and amongst the best we have had and the perfect mothers' day surprise. They were served golden brown, served with tartar sauce, and cole slaw. All were fair portions and high quality.They were very sweet, and the cole slaw was lightly so as well. The fries were soft but hot.Last but not least was a 20-piece order of wings. These were $24.95, which is definitely pricey! That said, these were tied for some of the best wings we have ever eaten. Stop everything and go get an order right now!!! We did 2 flavors. First of these was the Buffayaki. This is a blend of slightly spicy tangy buffalo sauce and sweet terryaki providing a mixed palate of flavors and a special taste. We do wish it was a little spicier, but they were magnificent. The wongs themselves were massive and meaty. They were also perfectly cooked. The second flavor was the Carolina Tabgy Gold wings. These were almost a clone of the Ebs Gold wings out in Agawam and equally magnificent! That said, these were pipping hot and delicous. This is a sweet and tangy mustard bbq sauce. I challenge you to try and stop eating these once you start. It will be nearly impossible! The blue cheese was fine, and the celery hair thin but with wings like these who cares!?!.... Overall the portions were excellent, the flavors and quality exceptional, prices a little high, the service while friendly could definitely be improved, and we left very satisfied. Please check them out online below and in person. They earn a very rare 4.5 FATBELLIES. If the service was a hair better or the wings under $20 for the 20, this would have been a perfect 5....

Recently the Fatguys went to the Center Square Grill located at 84 Center Square, East Longmeadow, MA 01028. The atmosphere was typical corporate styling attempting to be kampy and yet sterille. It was nice, however and not a complete yawn fest. The ourside garden of their own vegtables, and numerous subrooms as well as outdoor dinning added some character. The prices were highly inconsistent from fair to quite a bit elevated depending on the item. The menu was very diverse and we appreciated their food allergy marking guides; however we did not confirm celiac safe standards so please do so. We sat nearly immediately. Our server was amazing and honest. I truly must say we respected and appreciated Brennan F. We did not need to inquire ad he came out resonably and appologized for the kitchen being behind, he kept our drinks full, checked on us reasonably, was personable, and despite the slow appetizers,salads, and entrees he made sure they were spaced out and not all at once. The starter bread was cold but not without taste. We couldn't quite decide what it was it had some attributes of a rye, but it was not one. It did however come with an amazing dip that was somewhere between a horseradish and an aioli. It was addicting. They also had butter packets. We appreciate the option however the dip was too good and if you are serving butter make your own like a cinnamon honey butter. Packets take away from the experience. Then we ordered the $14 cast iron skillet meatballs. This served up three allegedly(not in reality) jumbo meatballs. These were made inhouse and baked with their zesty, chunky, sweet, and rich marinara sauce. They then mounted creamy house made ricotta and a generous leafing of fresh basil. While small and very overprived per portion. These were perfectly cooked and fell apart easily. They were served beyond hot however the sauce was borderline cold which when adding the cold ricotta made a complete palleting. We would have preffered the sauce hot and the ricotta as is. These were exceptional tasting however and properly seasoned. We could not get enough of them. Next we ordered the large size of their hand cut truffle fries. Ironically the fries were the only negative of this dish. While we liked the hand cut and ultra fresh nature, as well as the proper thickness, and saltiness. They were simply soggy beyond words somehow while being an appreciated hot temperature. This massive large order was $14.50 they do offer a smaller order for $7.25. The fries were drizzled upon with an amazing and delicous truffle oil. Over this they added hand shaved paremesean which had big chunks and really made this absolitely amazing. They came with an amazing truffle aioli. This was one of the most amazing tasting things we have consumed. It tasted like garlic aoili with truffle oil in it. It was amazing I could drink it! That said our one big complaint;and we hate when places do this, please stop putting ketchup pn a plate and not listing it on thw menu. There are people like myself who are severely allergic. The meals we ordered each came with a small plated salad. These had every fancy leafed version of lettuce and an unusual dressing selection. While we always like more dressing the rough textures of certain leaves and the amazing flavors of their dressings made of crave more than we were supplied with.
The first main entree was a special. It was their $19 beef bourguignon. This was an absolutely amazing dish and needs to be added to their regular menu! It had the most tender beef that was much the same flavors and textures as a good pot roast! The beef was plentiful and this was a rather good portion size plate as well. The beef was simmered in a red wine demi gravy and was servef with chunky homemade mashed potatoes, sparse mushrooms, pearl onions, and carrots. This was some of the best beef we can recall.
Last was their $26 shepherd's pie! This price especially considering the rather small portion size was absurd. It was served in one of those small cast iron dishes a desert cookie is often found in. The garlic and cheese mixed mashed potatoes were a nice touch. The beef had a sweetness in the sauce as if it had red wine mixed with the gravy. The vegtables were limited. Overall it somehow came together pretty well and serves hot as it should be.
Overall we strongly encourage you to check out their links below and go try their amazing service and great food. They earn a very rare 4.5 FATBELLIES rating!

Recently the Fatguys went to Coopershill Pub located at 6 School St, Peterborough, NH 03458. Be prepared to go a block or two over to find parking. As many of you know we cqn never resist the allure of an Irish pub. First we took a look at their Borgairi agus Ceapairí or known here as burgers and sandwiches). We ordered the Coopershill Classic Burger for
$16.00. It was made with
New England Ground Wagyu beef, then had melted cheddar a top, a dolip or rich creamy and tangy garlic aioli for flavor, ceisp lettuce, tomato, and onion all on brioche bun. The beef itself was served with a light touch of pink and the patty was fair but not giant. I will say for this size patty the price was a little on the rich side. It was a juicy and good burger but not quite eleveated above that. The fries were a little thick stright cut with a crispy almost battered crust and a softer inside. The fries were very tasty, hot, and plentigul however could use a hint of salt. Next was we moved onto the Gaeilge Tipiciúil oe main courses. From these we ordered the properly named Cottage Pie for
$20.00. This had slightly dry ground beef mixed with veggie filling of carrots, peas, and onions then topped with champs mashed potatoes and has an alleged gluten free option which we were not able to verify as celiac safe. This was around dish of a fair portion. It was rather dry. The potatoes were flavorless as was the beef. The meat juice was non existant and when we asked for more, or broth, or gravy all traditional options they looked at us like we were nuts then broughy out a pipette of beef juice which helped alittle. This could havw been great but just missed the mark. It was not bad just not what you expect in flavor and richness. Overall the sercixe was pretty good, the atmosphere was ok, the portions ok to above average, and the prices alittlle on the high side. They score a 2.5(slighty above average) FATBELLIES rating.

Recently the Fat Guys went to 100 Stockbridge Rd, Great Barrington, MA 01230 to try Four Brothers Pizza Inn. We ordered a medium in part because we found them to be rather pricey. We ordered a medium meatlovers. This cost $22.75. It was 14" in diameter. The food was served very hot as it should be! The pizza had a crisp yet airy handle crust.
This had limited delicous and crispy bacon, flavorful sausage chunks, sweet and juicy ham, dime sized traditional meatballs, and pepperoni slices. The slices were triangle cut. The bottom of the crust had a textured borderline crispy texture while still presenting a lightly greasy and drropy style. It did have a small gum layer. The sauce was thinly layered; yet sweet and rich in fresh flavor. The cheese was bordering a solid layer but did not have that solid almost plastic taste all too often. Overall the service was fast and very friendly and accomodating, the food was well above average in quality, and the only true miss was the pricing. They earn 3.5 FATBELLIES as a rating above average. For more information check them out in person or at their links below...

Recently the Fat Guys went to 86 Storrs Rd, Willimantic, CT 06226 while having a need for sugar to experience The Farmer's Cow Calfé. While we only had desert we hold the right to revisit for regular food. We did however get a good sampling.
This location from this chain made an impression with a mixture of snooty coffee shop and farm to table atmosphere. It also had absolutely amazing staff. We will recognize this is a local chain not a singular location; however it is lpcally based and fairly small in number. We also love that it has a mission of supporting local farms and bringing food directly to the consumer from farms nearby. The service was very quick
I ordered the Liege Waffle sundae for $10.49.
It was made fresh that day in front of me including its' crispy yet somewhat small; buttery, and puffy waffle topped and packed with caramelized pearl sugar for a signature crunch and sweetness. The ice cream itself. I had added was a mind blowing double rasberry truffle one with fresh pieces included. It was very smooth, rich, and you could taste fresh homemade difference in quality. While we did not sample the other food we did notice a few quick overview points. The prices were a little high particualarly when combined with the portion sizes. Next the food was all made to order. Lastly the quality was very blatant and exceptional as was the staff. This is why they earn 4 FATBELLIES as a rating. We strongly suggest you check them out online and in person. Also please support your local farms we sure love to and are glad this fantastic place does as well!..... for more information please check out their links below...

Recently the Fatguys visited the Mandarin located at 2571 Boston Rd, Wilbraham, MA 01095. We were promptly seated in. A nicely decorated and designed dinning area. The prices averaged from fair to a little high. We ordered and the food came out unbelievably quickly. That said with 1 exception everything was luke warm. First were the fired vegtable dumplings. These were the only hot item served. They were plentiful as well. They were a surprise hit for us. Served with a spy sauce they had a fresh and unique mushed inside with a crisp exterior. $11.05 was their price which was fait if a little random seeming. Next the 2 egg rolls were $6.65 and were the nice thicker variety. They had a crisp shell and a fairly standard stuffing. They were good but not hot.
The $17.05 shrimp with lobster sauce was a large platter mpstly of sauce. Ir was fair to good but not special. It was served with a smaller dinner style simple house salad and a bowl of miso soup.
The teriyaki salmon was $19.05. It was served with the same salad and miso soup. The salmon itself was served in a decorative fasion on a banana leaf and a flower as well as a bowl of white rice. The rice was generic and reminiscent of boil in a bag rice. The salmon was smothered in a delicous rich teriyaki sauce but was somehow not warm and yet tough and hard almost wafer like which is not a normal for salmon. It was also very thin. Luckily the sauce made up for some of the dryness.
Overall between quality, temperature, and price we could not put the Mandarin at anything but 2.5 Fatbellies, above average but needing a few touches. For more information check out their links below or stop in and give them a try.
