Looks yummy! & a good deal

As for Chuck, you clearly do not know Michelle & she would say the food wasn’t so great even if she worked there. Also do you really have nothing better to do with your time. If you don’t want to eat there don’t

That food looks delicious, especially the bread. I bet you have a lot of regular customers.

I agree with the overwhelming majority here, Michelle….you have put out many disclamers in the past and are very credible. Thanks for the site…its been on my favorites list for awhile…..keep up the good work!

One word: Outstanding! Thanks Michelle for posting this. I’ve taken the family twice and we’ll be back. One thing to mention: Kids under 6 are only 5 bucks I believe. Just something to keep in mind if you are planning on bringing little ones. When I was a kid we used to have big family dinners on Sundays, Italian style. This is a nice and cost-effective way to keep that tradition going, and the best thing is that we don’t have to clean up!
Thanks again Michelle for doing what you do. That Chuckles guy can go hang out at the Olive Garden.

Michelle, I think you pretty clearly labeled yourself as an occasional employee of the restaurant, which is really the same type of disclaimer used by newspapers, magazines, etc., that are owned by larger companies. Chuck, if that connection is enough to make you skeptical, just don’t go - or set your expectations accordingly. If Michelle hadn’t made it clear that she worked there, perhaps you’d have a reasonable gripe, but it’s just not the case here.

Besides, the pictures alone make my mouth water.

Chuckles,
I don’t know why it’s so hard to believe that I like the food at the place I work at once a month or less, but so be it. I can’t stop people from jumping to conclusions or taking this blog too seriously.
I’m not sure why you didn’t have a problem with me posting about the Shopper’s World event at my other job - since I suppose I could benefit from people going and supporting the History Center. I guess there’s some rule you have about what I can and can’t post about.
I don’t know, perhaps you should start your own blog about Framingham with opinions that you feel are more useful. It would be more productive than wasting your time reading blogs you doubt the credibility of. Best of luck.

Points well taken, however to JoeC, I don’t think it is hard to see how more customers would create the chance of earning more money.

I guess my point is you reviewed a place you work at, at the very least as an employee despite your actual opinions of the food it would not be couth to bad mouth your employer. So although like I previously said, I’m sure the food is at least decent, if it were not, I wouldnt expect her to tell us its no good considering she is employed there, albeit very part-time. Do you expect Bill Gates to tell us how horrible the latest version of Windows is?

to speculate that a waitress at a restaurant would create positive reviews of their restaurants to get more tips is a little over the top.
