Colonel Blackinton Inn

The food was genuinely very good — fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Unfortunately, the service didn’t live up to the meal. Our server, Bernie, was inattentive from the start. It took about 30 minutes just to have our order taken, and throughout the evening he would drop off drinks and food and quickly walk away while we were trying to ask questions or request refills. It felt difficult to get his attention, which made the experience frustrating.

Our room had a king-sized bed that made for a very comfortable night's sleep. The room was a bit on the small side, leaving not much room for anything else, though sitting and reading by the window was nice. The bathroom was tiny, so small that the hand sink was in the main portion of the bedroom, hence "cozy" in the title. ||The rooms in the Inn are above the dining rooms, and the restaurant was quite busy during our stay. Interestingly enough, very little of the noise below made it up into our room, which was great. The owner and staff were always friendly and helpful, and they were able to fit us in for dinner on the night of our arrival, despite having forgotten to make a reservation. Dinner was scrumptious! ||It's important to be aware that the inn has very limited parking, and you'll probably have to park in some public spaces across the street. The street is also quite busy, being a major artery for the town, so be careful crossing it!

We had my wife’s 50th surprise birthday party at the Blackington. If there is one word I could use describe the experience it will be: Perfect! We had a personal bartender for a party of 40 who was very Attentive and waited on us hand and foot. The food was outstanding; everybody raved. It is a perfect venue for a party this size. The owner did a fantastic job of helping helping me plan it as well. The price was very reasonable. I highly recommend!

The hostess was absolutely amazing! We were completely underwhelmed with the service and food. For $200 I would expect a steak that wasn’t raw, chewy and flavorless. Maybe having the waitress box our food for us instead of throwing a box on the table. The busser was also amazing, her and the hostess are the reason I’m giving any stars at all.

Sad to see you dont offer breakfast anymore. My wife and I have stay at the Blackington many times over our 21 years together, celebrating our anniversaries and birthdays here. We always told friends that Blackington was hidden gem in this area offering fine dining, luxurious rooms and a incredible breakfast buffet. So it was quite disappointing to wake this morning and there was no breakfast options available at all, even a paid option. I guess its just another sign of these crushing economic times. I hope in the future you reconsider. We did dine here last night, food was absolutely amazing, room was on point as always but with the change, I have to say sadly, I will probably look at other options in the future. Dont want to sound petty, I did give you 5 stars across the board but even if you have charge more for a room, I would highly recommend you have something available to guest other than self serve coffee and prepackaged goods. I would have gladly paid the extra money to enjoy a Blackington hot breakfast, they were amazing.

We ordered a catering for my daughter birthday in December and the food was wonderful, fresh and delicious. The communication was great and smooth and I really appreciate the administration great efforts with us I totally recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for good quality food and great presentation

We did not stay here, but the restaurant is very nice. Super cozy and the food is great. The steak was cooked to perfection and the drinks were superb.

We dined at the restaurant but didn't stay at the inn. They have a very nice outdoor dining area at which they had live music. The indoor dining area is excellent. Elegant, with a historical feel to it. There are several different dining rooms corresponding to the actual rooms of the historical structure. Our server was awesome. So professional and friendly. Meals were superb. Especially the lobster bisque. Highly recommend. We had the walnut salmon and the scallops. Delicious. Parking was a challenge because the place was crowded due to a Doobie Brothers concert that evening. I was a Fool to Believe that it would not be so.

Our dinner at the Inn was outstanding in every way. We were seated in one of the beautiful dining rooms. Our servers were attentive and gave us some great recommendations. The appetizers were creative and delicious. Our entrees were generous and perfectly prepared. Whether you stop by for their famous clam chowder and Scrod or Lamb chops, you will be delighted.

Wow. Stayed overnight and had a fabulous dinner. Beautifully appointed room, all the amenities, perfect dinner, accommodating staff. I don't want to say too many glowing things, because I want to be able to get a reservation when I need it, and if too many people discover this gem..... you know. Amazing experience - wonderful owners. We will be back!

Fantastic food and service. Menu seems pricey until you see the portions. Huge. It ends up being great value. The venue itself is charming and just feels special. My wife and I go when we just want something a bit nicer. Highly recommended

Everything about this restaurant is wonderful! The food is delicious. The service is great and the ambience is perfect. A wonderful place to celebrate a special occasion or just to have a wonderful meal.

Col blackinton consistently delivers superior food, service, and ambience making it our go to spot for celebrations, most recently our anniversary. The short ribs and mashed potatoes were off the charts. My husband enjoyed a pasta dish that also looked delicious. I highly recommend the blackinton's house martini which offers a nice twist on a classic cocktail. Very thrilled to be returning there soon for a Christmas dinner.

One of my favorite restaurants, the several small dining rooms let the experience be intimate. The food is delicious. I usually always get a steak, namely prime rib or ribeye, but this time they had duck on the menu, it was sooo good, it came with wild rice, which I'm not a fan of, so I asked our awesome waiter Bernie if I could substitute it with mashed potatoes, he didn't even hesitate, absolutely anything you want. Bernie was very personable and we were never left wanting for anything. I was the only one who got dessert, but everyone helped themselves, the molten lava cake was warm and gooey!!! And I need to mention there was a wedding going on in the carriage house, and still the food and service were great!!

My first time out in a long time due to hip replacement. It's Valentines Day and we had a wonderful late lunch. They had a beautiful menu of specials with lots of choices. The service was friendly the food and drinks were great and it was very nice to be there in the afternoon. They had a fire going in the fireplace, it was just exceptional. We hope they continue to have special days of being open in the afternoon.

We always eat here when we are in town. The food is delicious! We love to sit at the bar because the staff is so friendly and welcoming. We would recommend it to anyone visiting the area to experience excellent food and hospitality.

Very good food and the atmosphere is fantastic. The staffing is attentive and the food and drink combinations were excellent.

What a wonderful dinner out with friends. Kyle was so attentive and our group enjoyed a variety of dishes that did not disappoint. The ambiance was perfect by the fireplace. Had the Rossini...and can't wait to try another delightful meal.

We have heard about this restaurant for many months- and decided to try it out with a girlfriend for brunch. Parking is at a premium here. There is only one way in from the street- and the parking loops around the building and is very tight. Was a bit stressful getting turned around. There is public parking across the street of the lot is full. The building is beautiful. We were promptly seated for our reservation. Our server was attentive and the drinks and food came out quickly. My friend had eggs Benedict I didn't get a photo of that ... but was really good. Brunch comes with tea or coffee and home fries and your choice of bacon or sausage. There was a musician playing cello on the other room but we could not hear the music from where we were seated.. so if the music is a draw for you here make sure to get reservations in the room they are playing in. Overall a great experience.

The absolute best!!! Tony & Kim too!!! Never disappoints. Top notch perfection and class. Love, love, love it!!!

The meal was ok, the service was outstanding, but the customer service was terrible in that I forgot to ask for a military discount and was refused even a gift certificate in the amount of $20.00 which was the 10% of the $200.00 bill. They just lost a loyal customer as this is our restaurant of choice when we want to have a nice meal.

This place has amazing food, have taken my Wife and Mother there and had a great dinner and evening! Highly recommend, the service is great as well!

True rating: 3.75 What a cute place! Who knew this place existed so close to home? I am such a fan now. My husband and I had a date night and it was a great spot to get out and be adults again (without the kids!) We wanted to stay close to home but try out a new place. Tip: even though a reservation did not appear available online- I called and they had a few reservations open for the upcoming Saturday night on the patio! SCORE! The patio made me feel like I was not in Attleboro- I even said it to my husband. It made me feel like I was in Portsmouth or Middletown. Its quaint, had a stage with a live performance, a fountain, trellis, brick pathways, etc... Our patio table for two was equipped with a little light to shine down on the table for us. I LOVE the atmosphere! It's a perfect date spot or lunch with friends. I started with a paradise punch- pricey but delicious! I don't like it too boozy and it was just right. We split a Caesar salad. The large portion is enough for 3 or 4 peoples to kick start a meal. I had the filet and he had the NY strip. This place is a little pricey but ever now and then you need to splurge and since our last date night was in February we soaked it up! I have to say I tried their green bean special that night as a side- green beans tossed in pasta sauce. Just not for me. Their mashed potatoes did need a little garlic or more butter. Their filet was a nice cut. I asked for the béarnaise sauce on the side (just not my thing) so I felt like the steak needed a little more flavor (and I know some may cringe at this but I asked for A1 which they did not have) so I salted the heck out of it! Why not a 4 stars? The food needed a little something for me but I would DEFINITELY go back again and would love to try a pasta dish.

Service atmosphere and food are all amazing. Love this place! Always a great economic

Great menu, food, and service. Perfect for special occasion's. Quaint and comfortable atmosphere.

We arrived (a party of four). Service was pleasant and waiter staff was attentive. Two people ordered the prime rib. Both said it was very fatty, and the meals were cold. Horseradish did not have any zing either. the other two meals also were cold. This was a special night with friends. Sorry it went so poorly. Probably will rethink before we go to Blackinton again.

Good place for lunch if your looking for hometown cooking. Has a great pastry shop inside as well.

Fantastic dinner and stay at the Blackinton Inn! Gracious host and staff -- service was impeccable. Cozy and classy vibes.

I've been here twice now and each time not only was the service amazing but the staff was incredible.

Exceptional food always, great service. One of the few places in town that bring people from all over.

They do things right here.....using fresh preparing delicious appetizers, main dishes, desserts,

The lobster and chicken were very good , i ordered the chicken aragosta , high quality and cooked to perfection. The cheesecake was amazing the pistachio cheese cake very smooth very balanced. Which was my meal and they nailed it. My dates meal and dessert where less satisfying. The crème brûlée was not very good and almost borderline was bad. It was the only thing we didnt finish and it was because the taste was that bad- not so bad to return but not so good we finished it. the lobster raviolis seemed to be a lesser quality of lobster than the large chunks in the aragosta . The raviolis had a taste to them that was certainly not up to par with the rest of the foods quality or the price of the plate which isnt the problem ide have paid more for her to enjoy them fully but we were dissappointed and a little confused becuase the other larger lobster chunks were amazing. The food overall was good portions and quality for a fair price. Atmosphere is very confortable very friendly staff. I feel like if we had just got the raviolis and the creme brulee it would have been a 2star rating and if we got just the chicken aragosta and cheese cake it would have been a 4star rating. 3 seemed fair. The waiter was down to earth but didnt really give us any inside advice or upsell anything we would have liked but maybe was unaware of. I dont like to be hounded but i do like to be informed and given the low down on whats hot and whats not. Makes it a different experience when instead of a hey what are you having you get a hey the "XYZ" is really good tonight and the kitchen has fresh "ABC" try this redwine with what you ordered its a good pair etc. so 3 but honestly it has potential to be a 4-5 star night. Definitly suggest it.

The Colonel Blackinton Inn offers every diner a comfortable, lovely patio dining experience throughout the summer with live entertainment. We have dined there many times during the past years both indoors and outdoors and are very pleased with the food and the wonderful service. Our favorites are definitely the beet salad, the strawberry arugula salad, and the wedge salad! For entrees, the walnut encrusted salmon and the scrod are always tastefully prepared and attractively plated with potato and vegetable. Another favorite of mine is their chicken marsala. After enjoying our salads as appetizers, and our generously portioned entrees, we rarely have room for dessert, but we are sure they are excellent also! Service throughout each evening is always filled with sincere smiles and concern ensuring each diner a very positive, enjoyable meal.

Today's Adventure brought me to the Fabulous Colonial Blackington Inn in Attleboro...This place is Gorgeous..The Food was Delicious and our Server Kyle was perfect..Pictured here is the future Bride and Groom Colleen and Nathan...These 2 Lovebirds are very in sync with each other and a real pleasure to spend time with..For Brunch Colleen and Nathan both order the Baked Haddock..They said they loved it..I Ordered the Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce, home fries and Asparagus..Delicious..I also ordered a Red Sangria..It tasted as good as it looks The Quality and Service at this Inn is 5 Star...I Highly Recommend that you try this Special Inn..

Not impressed w/ food and service Parking is the worst - had to park at CVS and walk to restaurant and the restaurant wasn't even that busy.

Definitely a 4 star restaurant in Attleboro with impeccable service. A little pricey but worth it as the food is excellent. I typically get the lamb chop and it is wonderful accompanied with garlic mashed and asparagus. Even the kids enjoy the food. A great place to dine alfresco in the summer with live music. They also have a great Sunday brunch. I've rented out a part of the facility for a family event. I would recommend

Recently we enjoyed a fabulous dinner at the Colonel Blackington Inn. I made reservations by calling them directly several days in advance of a beautiful Friday night requesting an outdoor table on their patio. A very cute establishment with a expansive outdoor dining space complete with high top tables, tables for two, four or parties of six or more. There are also seats under covered tents, tables that open up from more permanent structures and some with umbrellas. We were fortunate to have a table for two not only near a heat lamp, but neighboring an external flame pit; both were welcomed as the temperatures of the beautiful day dipped with the setting sun. The staff from hostess to waitress were friendly, willing to answer menu questions with confidence and knowledge, and courteous. Parking can be a little tricky if you don't find a spot in the back, but note that there are areas to pack across the street, if needed. As for the food, we started with the beat salad which was plenty large enough to share. A mixture of yellow and red beats with greens (e.g., arugula) and blue cheese were presented very nicely on the plate. We both wished we requested no blue cheese, but they were easy enough to separate and avoid. For entrees we both enjoyed a little taste of Italy with the Chicken Parmigiana and the Chicken Marsala. Both dishes were served over linguine and were large enough to be boxed, brought home, and enjoyed for lunch the following day. We passed on dessert with the meals so large. Overall we were very satisfied and despite the longer than usual drive for dinner, would definitely put the Colonel Blackington Inn on a future date night dinner rotation.

Always a pleasure! Atmosphere- good - drink-- It doesn't get any better! To think this fabulous place is in the burbs- the very best around! Class act all the way from the appetizers to the dessert!

Service and outdoor seating was very nice but for the price, the food was extremely underwhelming. I ordered a Caesar salad which was awful. Lettuce was not crisp and crunchy and fresh, croutons were so bland and definitely not homemade, dressing was awful. I don't understand why this restaurant has such a high rating. Not going back.

Had a great experience here the other night. It was my first time here and left really impressed. Great food, service, and ambiance. Not sure why I haven't been here before, but glad I finally did. Already looking forward to coming back. Pics will say more than I can. 5 stars !

We love this restaurant. Got curbside takeout weekly during the first few months of covid which was excellent. Kim really runs this place like a well-oiled machine. Their outdoor patio is gorgeous and the live music is a nice bonus. $5/person charge is quite reasonable. We will continue to sit on the patio even as the weather cools. Their setup is wonderful. A fire pit, heat lamps, just wear a warm sweater and maybe bring a blanket! Food is always excellent. Their salmon is my go to, hubby says they've got the best prime rib he's ever had. Their cocktail menu is also very creative and delicious. The peanut butter hot chocolate was a delicious "liquid dessert." Peanut butter whiskey. Who knew? Wow! Would love it in a to go cup lol With covid, there is no valet so you can self park in their lot but it can be tight. We usually park in the cvs lot next door, which is perfect.

Such a comfortable atmosphere, was greeted by 2 friendly young lady hosts, followed by a knowledgeable bar tender that mixed wonderful cocktails, followed by one of the most enthusiastic server named Bernard. Food was 4.5 stars. Enjoy!!

We have never ever had a bad experience there. We love the food, the ambience and the people that work there!

Before I say ANYTHING, let me say I was not involved with anything financially here, so price is not taken into consideration with this review. My father had gotten married recently, and this is the venue they decided. Its was great enough a wedding was able to be planned in the first place considering the current situation of things, but this was a nice small local choice. It is a small but sweet venue perfect for what they wanted for a wedding; it wasn't extraordinarily big or fancy... but that's a positive thing. It was still a very pretty place; yhe layout of the building was interesting and visually appealing, the outside area was decorated and very professional looking... the indoor dining area was also pretty nice. Once again, a perfect place for the two to get married as there were only about ~20 guests and they didnt want anything SUPER fancy (i.e. super expensive) in the first place. The food itself was also pretty damn good... the appetizers we ordered were pretty fine, I really loved their meatballs. I ordered the chicken parm and it was a very good chicken parm, really hit the spot! Is it good enough food for me to come back?I'm not really the target demo for coming back here again, so its not surprising I dont have an incredible urge to go here again. Also chicken parm itself is a dish hard to screw up but also pretty standard regardless. But I certainly would not complain if I got the chance to eat here again and try out some more delicious food!

Probably a 3.5 not a 4. The atmosphere is great and I'm sure sitting outdoors in the summer listening to music is great. The food was just ok. Crab cake app was ok, little to much stuffing not enough crab. Beet salad was ok, needed more dressing for the greens. Strip steak was cooked perfectly and tender, mashed need some more flavor. Pork chop was slightly over cooked. Cod stew was very good however the chicken Rossini lacked flavor. I would definitely go back but wish it was better.

Very good food, drinks and service. Went here for a birthday dinner. Very pleased with my first visit. Dining room lighting was a little bright, the place was spotless and the staff. The food and drinks were fantastic.

This was the first take out we did after the COVID virus started. I love it here and while the world stopped, they continued to do takeout and curbside delivery. They posted on Facebook and Instagram which was how I found out they were open. They posted their daily specials, and then with time started to have "Specials" of the evening. What a treat to have Prime Rib (medium rare) with mashed potatoes and sauteed mixed vegetables in a takeout box that kept the foot hot. A fresh salad, awesome bread and all for $20 curbside pick up. (it may be a bit more now) . We got that several times when cooking became too much. Then they opened their porch and back area a few weeks ago. BF and I made reservations at 8 pm on a Saturday night and it was lovely. A bit misty out as it had been raining off and on all day, but they still had live music. We sat outside under an umbrella and just enjoyed being outside. We had to wear a mask to walk through and sit down and if you got up to use the rest room. The servers were all masked and incredibly efficient. All the guests were following the rules. It was a lovely time. We will definitely go back again as they have different specials at each night and the food is really good. Our prime rib was a perfect medium rare, potato was hot with sour cream and butter. The sauteed veggies were carrots , and i'm not a big fan, but BF loved them. We plan to get something else next time, as they had things like seafood risotto, lobster salad rolls, etc. Follow them on Face time and Instagram. They are every responsive! Note- They are not open until 2 pm, so you can't call. There is no longer valet parking, but the lot is open. You must have a reservation and you must wear a mask until seated. Enjoy!!!!

So this Father's Day brunch was the second time I've come to this restaurant. The first time I didn't review it because I thought perhaps, it was me. Everyone raves about this restaurant. I feel for an upscale establishment and pricing, the menu lacks any imagination and our food presented as last time, edible, nothing-too-special and slightly bland. The reason to come here is definitely the ambiance. Also, I have not had a bad drink here yet. This location would be wise to review Providence restaurants (just 20 minutes away) and the restaurant this place reminds me of in atmosphere is Oleana in Cambridge. But the food is purely pedestrian. Meh.

We ate here for our anniversary a couple months ago. Getting the reservation was tricky as well as the parking ( we ended up parking at cvs and walking over). The atmosphere was cool, felt like a restaurant you might find in Vermont. Service was great and we enjoyed our meals. We started with scallops wrapped in bacon, they were delicious. For entrées we ordered a seafood pasta special with lobster, shrimp etc in a red cream sauce, it was heavy but really good. We also had prime rib, which was tasty as well.

The inn itself is beautiful and historic. Parking is easy, the rooms are quiet and the staff is awesome. They're very accommodating and cater to needs easily. I'm not one for reviews- however the best beds I've ever slept on in my life and I had to scream it from the Yelp mountaintops. Also, enjoyed dinner downstairs and the food was immaculate. Simple, fresh, local and a robust wine selection. I can't say enough kind words. All the respect and congratulations to the owners, they've maintained the culture and history while being fresh and modern flavors. Their commitment to character, class and delivery is unmatched. Thank you for the wonderful stay and lovely staff.

Rosaura made our night at the Blackington Inn! She was so funny and nice. A truly great experience. Beet salad was delicious. As was the baked scrod and speciality cocktails. Entrees are a bit pricey but portions are large. We will be back!

We've heard so much about this place, and how the food is excellent, and so on...I don't know if we came on an off day, but the food was lackluster at best, and the quality did not reflect the high prices. My Salmon was over done, so I sent it back. I did not eat anything else. My wife said the martini she got was excellent. Her filet mignon was done perfect, but the risotto was sticky and dry. The service was good. The restaurant was clean and well attended, but our dinners were not worth the price. We could have done better at a big chain restaurant.

Excellent food, great wait staff, and a lovely ambiance. I love to go there with friends and always have a positive experience. it is the best restaurant in the city.

Food, service, & overall experience is exceptional. This location is a must visit! Live music when the weather permits. Filling plates and friendly staff.

We really enjoyed our pre-meal cocktails with live music at the bar as well as our meals in the dining room. Such an interesting building. Our waitress was very good. So happy we decided to try a new place. Parking was difficult though.

Great food! Fantastic service! And a cordial, inviting atmosphere. Wonderful dining experience. Highly recommended.

Brunch on Sunday for my daughter's birthday. Nice table and near a 2 pce music . Service was very good, food was excellent! Every dish was superb! Quality was excellent. Read some off reviews but it was a great meal! I highly recommend the skillet! Worth another visit for sure!
