Newtowne Grille

My wife and I were looking for a place up the street from where we live and just wanted to go out for a few drinks and some good food. We got exactly what we were looking for. Our server was nice and kept us occupied with two big healthy appetizers. And the burgers to top of off for the entree were soo good I ended up taking some home with me. Thank you for a great experience! We will be coming back as we do live close by !! ❤️🔥🫶

The management here absolutely sucks. They were already going down hill and now with the new management I do not see this place being open much longer. No respect for their customers. Also I do not like that orange haired bartenders attitude.

So sorry to give this place 2 stars because the staff is so nice. However, I have to give a poor review because I got food poisoning from the chicken. I was there last night and ordered the appetizer sampler. I am certain I got food poisoning from the chicken wings. I hope this feedback is used as a reminder for the kitchen staff to use safe food handling and quality control. Like I said, the front of house staff was lovely and the vibe of the place is friendly, but the food being poor is a big issue.

My review is for our waitress Christie (WOW) , this young lady has a great personality and was so attentive to our table . I’ve seen her running around and making others smile . This place is better when she works . We enjoyed our meals and time .

I can always go for some good food. My girl got the veggie pizza. I got a nice burger, delicious mushrooms. I love the preparation. The service... can't go wrong. Love to come back there again and I will!👍👍

This was my first time coming to Newtowne Grille. Walking in the semi empty place I didnt have high hopes but when the food came out my jaw dropped. The portions were huge, the appitisers were amazing. The spinach and artichoke dip was the best I've ever had and the cheesy fries were out of this world! The mac and cheese that my sister ordered for a meal was some of the best I've tasted at a resturant ever! I could tell everything was freshly made and it was delicious! It's a great place to take the family and I totally recomend this place!

I order2 chicken picatta one had 2 pieces of chicken the other had 10. I drove 20 min to get it. Came back to hotel and was missing an order. I also got chicken on my cheese quesadilla and my friend does not eat meat.

Staying at a nearby hotel and this place was on the list of places that delivered. They do not deliver; they allow DoorDash. However, we had five hungry kids and did not want another night of pizza. Ordered buffalo wings with a side of ranch; received bbq wings with a side of blue cheese. Ordered the chicken, broccoli and penne; it was lukewarm, chicken looked like chunks of leftover fried chicken and pasta barely had sauce. At $16.95 a plate, I expected it to not only look better but taste better. In my opinion the prices are on the higher end for the quality. We don’t live in the area and will not be back. This was a tough pill to swallow—our entire bill was $111+. Way overpriced.

Got some food delivered last night and the food was good overall. The pizza was so delicious, crunchy and on the thin side, just how we like it. The cheese blend was yum and went well with the toppings. The Greek Fries were amazing too, the seasoning on them were on point. The chicken wings were a huge disappointment. The meat was dry and the flavor was lacking, the meat also did not taste fresh. 1/5 star for the wings.

Came here for the first time with the hubby. Drinks were good, but food was alright not something I will rave about. For apps, my husband ordered the artichoke dip and I had a craving for Buffalo chicken dip. The Buffalo dip had a somewhat soupy texture and didn't enjoy it much. The same happened when I ordered the butternut squash ravioli, not creamy but flavored was there. The meal that stood out the most was my husbands pizza, now, that was delish! I was wished I ordered that. Overall it's ok, I may give it a second chance but not anytime soon.

I ordered a 66 Burger, which is cooked onions, chedar cheese, aolia sauce. Told waitress NO ONIONS ! Fries & Coke with 3 limes. Please bring some ketchup ours was empty. She brought over another empty one. I had get my own from another table. My burger came out with ONIONS !!! My friend order a burger with the works. Asked waitress how many slices of bacon comes on it she said 3 friend said put 6. Burger came out with NO BACON !!! Place has gone DOWN HILL

My wife and I will never ever go back here. The bartender was so rude the entire time. All she cares about are her people around the bar. She could care less about us. We got a drink ordered food then asked waitress to cancel order. You need to do something about your bartender staff. They are the worst I've ever experienced.

Food was delicious in that home cooked way. Atmosphere is relaxed to a fault. Service was good, very pleasant waitress. Prices were good

Pros: fun drinks and great music Cons: too hot with the brightest, unpleasant, overhead lighting I have ever experienced in a restaurant or bar. Insanity! Special mention: the kids who work there are very nice and super hardworking. Shout out to the bartender who was making drinks for the whole place by himself

I ordered takeout and was helped by a lovely woman named Kelly. I got the hot pastrami with Swiss cheese and a quarter pounder with fries. Both items were good! I enjoyed the pastrami a lot- I added some spicy mustard to add a bit more seasoning. The fries weren't as crispy, but that's due to getting take out and shouldn't be attributed to the restaurant. The burger was solid, next time I may ask for some aioli or something on the side to add some pizazz. Looking at their menu, there's many more options for happy hour/dinner. Looking forward to coming here for dinner!

Stopped in for a late lunch with my sons today. I ordered the steak tips with spinach and fries. The steak tip had a delicious marinade and were tender, juicy and cooked just right (medium). My 9 year old son had chicken, broccoli and penne. He loved it. I tried some of it, the chicken and broccoli were cooked well. Very good. Our server was Kelly, she was very polite and attentive. Overall, a great meal.

I always complain that finding a simple meal of meat and veg is more difficult than it should be. Sometimes I don't want to cook, and sometimes I don't want pizza, Chinese, a burger, a burrito, or fried insert food here. I just want simple meat and veg for under $20. Found it. Am I my brothers keeper? Yes I am

I am always on the lookout for great chicken wings and I have found them here at Newtowne. I sat at the bar last night and polished off 20 . For those of you that know how good Buffalo Wings should look and taste you know it's all about tossing the wings in the right amount of sauce . This cook has it down to a science, there was no pool of sauce in the plate when I got down to the last few wings . That is a pet peeve of mine . Newtowne will now be my go to spot for wings close to home . Very friendly staff. The only negative is tell the karaoke DJ to start at 9pm . As an expert in this field I know what I'm talking about, he lost quite a few people by not starting til 10pm. Way too late to start on a weeknight.

After trolling yelp for a place to get a drink in Billerica, Newtowne was the chosen one and I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely don't expect trendy decor, it's more of a dive bar sort of feel. Lots of sports on TV, someone smoking outside with the smoke blowing back into the bar full blast, good old fluorescent lights, all the patrons are old regulars and eye you with curiosity and mistrust, etc. They have pop/hip hop music on blast, to the point where it's almost hard to hear but not impossible. The drinks are well made, good draft beer selection, and even have wine. What was most impressive was the food. I had very low expectations and we just got some appetizers like spinach dip and pretzel and both were delicious. Outdoing yourself there Newtowne!

We used to go to Newtowne weekly. Then we noticed a lot Of turn over in staff and the food, that was once very good, had gone down hill. So we stopped going. We haven't been in many months. Probably a year or so. Anyway we decided to give it a try again. We went in and was greeted by no-one. I walked up to the waitress and asked if we seat ourselves. She said yes. The "waitress" turned out to be the bartender. She continued to work the bar never coming over to us To take a drink order or even drop a menu. As we sat there waiting for a server we observed one other man going back and forth bringing the barmaid stock. We waited for at least 15 minutes. No-one acknowledged us. Also a few more customers came in taking up another 2 tables. We all sat and waited. Finally a person appeared from the kitchen with food for another table. She didn't even look at us. I asked her if she was the server and she said no. She then turned to walk away. So I said well are there any servers beside the barmaid and she said no. Then she said we are very short staffed and abruptly walked away. No other words, like sorry we will be with you as soon as possible ...or let me get you a drink while you wait...nothing! I couldn't believe it. We got up to leave and as we walked to the door the barmaid avoided any kind of eye contact. I've never experienced anything like it. I hope the owner sees this review. We will never go back to Newtowne. This took place on a Saturday afternoon around 5:00 pm.

The worst takeout I've had during the pandemic. The service was good, it was cooked on time, but the food itself was horrible. Just bland and poorly cooked. My wife got the chicken parm sub and it was rubbery. Fries were soggy. I got a burger and it tasted like they forgot to salt the beef. There's a bunch of places in the area like Newtowne, and they all make better food. This place is only getting a 2nd star because it's affordable.

If you want great food and reasonably priced drinks, this is your place. The food is amazing and the atmosphere even better. Come check out Newtowne. The hidden gem.

My family comes here a lot, and we love the nachos! This is one of our favorite restaurants to go to as a family, and when we have visitors. I took away a star because we've had a few order mix-ups, cold food, and slow re-fills occasionally. They are always very nice and correct their mistakes, but not a perfect 5 stars.

As advertised. Local pub. Cool people. DJ Bingo on Tuesday nights. Reasonable prices. Nice staff. No worries, safe. Food is good. I'm from out of town. Yelped it and good to go...

Can't beat the prices! Food is really great! The green beans side is amazing as well as the pizza! Drinks and keno! The bar staff are great! Very friendly and attentive. Low key down to earth establishment with an excellent craft beer rotation!

I'm torn with this place. The food and drinks are really good at this bar establishment. The service behind the bar totally sucks! It's actually only one lady that appears like she hates her job. It's always a hassle to her when we asks for something and she always gets defensive. Besides that one bartender, the other staff members are nice. I love their changing drink specials on the black board. The happy hour food specials is probably the best in the area and the lunch specials are great, starting at $ 4.99. Can't go wrong with a $4.99 burger and fries lunch! Get the wings and the pizza!

I ordered a pizza from newtowne grill in Billerica MA and it had plastic wrap in it. It was alarming because I pulled it off of my 4 year old sons' slice of pizza and it was a pretty big piece and a huge choking hazard. I have tried to reach out to the company but have gotten no response.

Interesting place. I came here with my coworker on a Wednesday night and the damn guy knew everyone here! Servers, DJ, random old people...apparently you can make yourself to be quite a hit here with the local populace if you wanted to. Even though the Celtics lost that night, most people with leprechaun jerseys were still happy and having fun. I'm pretty sure we were the only non white people on the premises. It was karaoke night, and honestly it was not the most impressive bunch up on stage. Some folks were downright awful. The same people butchering different American classics. And the DJ said they weren't taking any more requests after 10 PM, bah! Mixed well drinks run about $7 each and are served in a crappy clear plastic cup, but they are a nice pour and are not watered down. I would say this is one of the more lively spots in town at night.

If you want a high school reunion (no matter what your age) sit in the lounge area. If you want a family night out, eat in the restaurant. The cheese pizza with prosciutto is TO DIE FOR. Throw in some beer, and I'm good to go. Service isn't that great. Not that many (great) beer options....BUT the bartenders always remember you!

I loved this place. I always drive by it, but had never eaten here. Then me & a few friends decided to meet here for dinner & drinks. The service was excellent. The waitress was very patient with us. We were there for hours and never felt rushed. We got pizza & a sampler appie. They were very good. & the prices are excellent. I will definately be going back.

This place has been a home away from home since it was called Antonio's. Drinks are good, their Pizza is amazing just like it was before. The mixed drinks are a little weak, but the beer is cheaper than most places. It has a local feel with regulars sitting at the bar. Plenty of seating, and some fun dj working the music.

We went on a Friday night a few weeks ago for pizza(we have been here quite a bit and always thought it looked good) and wine. We got a sausage pepper and onion. The pizza was lacklustre ....wonder bread crust (no flavor)..scant toppings and tbe sausage was probably cooked several days prior and wasnt good (but mot spoiled). Then we got the bill and they charged us 9$ for three scant toppings...almost doubling the price of a plain cheese. I went on their website to contact them and let them know but to send I needed a code so could not send. I FB messaged them instead. A man named Mike responded quickly...explained what happened with pricing...he said it never should have cost that much. He asked for my email and was going to give a GC as a way to compensate...I sent my email...after a week we had not received the GC. I messaged him saying I never received the GC...no response...another week has past...nothing. Never going back...they can shove the gc...wish I went to Frank Pepe's I spent about the same amount for the pizza.

Never coming here again. My child's food ("chicken finger" and fries) were soaked in oil and wasn't hot. I had the tips combo...turkey tips were sour..steak tips were ok, food was not hot. Boyfriend had fish and chips.." It was ok." Felt like they had our dishes just sitting there and the waitress wasn't attentive enough to realize that our food had been done. Maybe it was just one of their off days ‍

Could not find entrance for wheelchair ! In the years they have been there, they could have added an accessible entrance.

Met a friend for lunch here today and it was both our first times ever being there. I had read through the reviews and most seemed good so I was eager to go... Apparently these reviews don't always give you the facts. The parking situation is completely ridiculous as they don't technically have a parking lot, so you park in a parking lot on the side street, and apparently their plow guy didn't make it this week as it was covered in snow and ice, so my advice would be to either bring a really good pair of snowshoes or don't go this week. We went in and at first glance it's a total dump and a dive, the entire place reminded me of all the dump dive bars that I attended in the mid-80s in and around Boston, dirty old walls in need of paint, unfinished floors, rickety old tables, bathroom totally that of a dive bar- peoples names and foul language written on the walls in magic marker, the floor was filthy, sink needs replacing and toilet hadn't been cleaned in days. These were all the positives. We sat down and were greeted by a nice enough fella that asked if we wanted a drink. It's my lunch hour so I went with an iced tea, my friend got a beer. He brought them over and walked away. I took a sip and swallowed it down and immediately lost it !! A mouth full of a combination of dish soap and a dirty rag!! No lie!! I'm 48 years old and it was truly The worst taste I've ever put in my mouth! And I've put a lot of things in there I'd like to forget!! I immediately called the waiter over and told him and told him to take it and bring me nothing in return.. He was polite and apologized a few times and asked if I'd like something else. I said "no way, nothing after that." My friend and I wanted to catch up so we sat and talked for a half hour.. As if the rancid god knows what that I just consumed wasn't bad enough - the woman that was bartending walked by our booth a dozen times and each time gave me a dirtier look than the last. I wanted so badly to say something but didn't want to create a scene or upset/embarrass my friend .. We eventually left in disgust and we got stares from the workers as we left but they said nothing. For only the second time in my life I made a call to the board of health in a town.

Consistently very good food from a well balanced menu. Excellent pizza and entrees. Sadly, on our last visit our meal was disappointing because a certain server was ranting to her coworkers and dropping F bombs loud enough for everyone to hear. I sincerely hope that management will notice her behavior and make necessary corrections

I had the Chicken Quesadilla, it was excellent, could not finish it. Very awesome. They have quite a few different beers on tap. The staff was very friendly! And being Cinco De Mayo, a lot was going on, Mexican music, tee shirt give way. We had a sampling of a tiquilia.. that was so good! A lot of fun!

I have been to this place twice and both times I had a great experience. I ordered the Newtowne Classic Burger, which is the most basic one on the menu (lettuce, Tomato and Red Onion), and despite having a cold bun, it was excellent. Since it was 6 o'clock on a Sunday night, there were probably 15 people in the whole place, including in the bar, which is understandable. As a result, the wait was not very long and we were in and out by about an hour. The price is good as well, as our order totaled to $27 for 3 people. If you are in the area and want a spot that isn't too crowded most of the time, try Newtowne.

Literally the best tasting pizza's I've ever had. The white sauce, basil and tomatoe pizza will change your life. Helps that the owner is a great guy. But that pizza. Did I mention it!? ...because it's amazing!

I struggle with this place because I really want to like it. I think the food is very good, nothing special but the portions are good and I've enjoyed everything I've had. However, the location in Billerica is dirty and the wait staff is miserable. The first time I came here I was with my wife and kids. We walked in and awkwardly stood by the door waiting to be greeted. After 10 mins and multiple waitstaff walking by I had to walk to some and ask if we were being ignored on purpose. The second time we went I was just picking up food to go ( figuring I'd avoid the disaster that is the staff), but dealt with the same problem. I walked straight up to the bar to the take out pick up area and was ignored again. I finally ask someone where I pick up food and she responded with right here. I was in the right spot the whole time. Once again, i lI've the food but the space and staff ruin the experience for me.

I'm surprised about the reviews on here, because the hub and I really liked this place! Here's the story: We went out light peepin at Christmastime and somehow ended up an hour away from home. We were starving and happened upon Newtowne. It was a Saturday night around 8pm. We ate in what I believe was the dining area and not the bar area. I could tell people were having fun up in the bar. We ordered the steak tips which came with garlic mashed potato and asparagus. It was AWESOME! We still talk about this place and plan to put it in the GPS to find it again. Next time we are gonna try the turkey tips...

The smell is why I give a bad review, the burgers and steak tips are some of the best around. Sadly it smells like dirty beer mops. I hope they see this as constructive criticism and its a simple fix. I miss going here but I simply can't eat somewhere that smells dirty.

Been sitting for an hour and a half; no silverware; empty water; (beer refilled for some); no food for more than half the group. Servers acting put upon; this is the last place I would ever recommend. Will NEVER come here again. [it may well not be the fault of our server, but the lack of communication was obvious]

We are at Newtowne about once a week. The staff is wonderful and the food has never done us wrong. From pizza to burgers to lobster ravioli, everything has been well made, great portions and great value. Young bar scene on the weekends, but family friendly during the dinner hours.

My wife and I moved to Burlington recently and absolutely love this place. We go here at least once a week. They have incredible buffalo wings and we take out pizza from here all the time. The burgers are great, love the steak fries, great beer selection. Service is always great. We come here with our daughter and the waitresses absolutely love her. I have also come here with a couple buddies on a few occasions to watch the Pats game and it's a great place to watch the game. I really can't say enough nice things about this place. Food is excellent, service is great, good for families or just for hanging out. They have kareoke, trivia and live band nights. We will definitely be coming back here all the time.

Love this place. The food is always good and the pizza is the best. I personally love the eggplant and garlic pizza, but you can't go wrong. Good selection of beers on draft and just a fun atmosphere to hang. The only problem is that I wish there was another location closer to me in Southie! The owner is a stud too.

Visited this place the other night for dinner. Parking was a little tough, but after a few minutes and finding a spot we went in. We wondered where all the people were based on the number of cars out in the parking lots. Place was bright and clean and the hostess and waitress very friendly. We had ordered cheese fries and the app sampler, was a little disappointed in the sampler, the food was tasty but we felt that for $9.99 we should of received more than 2 mozzarella sticks, 2 chicken fingers and 2 potato skins. On to the main course, the burgers were ok, a little dried out but add ketchup and your fine. The chicken dinner was crispy and very good, a little small on the portion. The turkey tips were fatty but regular steak tips were good. I have to say that the cole slaw was the worst I have ever tasted. We would go back to try other things, the menu offered much.

We recently held a bereavement lunch in the dining room. Mike was wonderful to work with...from my first phone call to inquire about the space, to picking the menu, to ensuring the afternoon ran seamlessly. The food was delicious and the waitstaff worked hard to make sure everyone's needs were attended to. We're thankful our family and friends had a welcoming place to gather on this emotional day.

Took my mother here for lunch today after hearing from multiple people about the food. Atmosphere is a sports bar with decent seating with booths and a bar area. We were served right away. Me and my mom both got a grilled cheese as that was the special they had and had six different varieties. Also on the menu were burgers, pizza, steak tips. Typical bar food. Grilled cheese was killer with avocado,bacon,munster,and spicy mayo. Definitely a cool place to get drinks and food with friends.

I've been quite hesisient on writing this review. I used to be a regular here. That was when the all around experience was phenomenal. Recently, I have noticed a rapid decrease in the experience. First off, the cleanliness of the place used to good. Now, it is just plain awful. All you can see is flies all over the place. A week ago, my Dad went for a beer with some buddies, and commented on the cleanliness himself. To quote him, he said the he will never drink tap (beer) again. He used to like tap (a lot). The steak I usually order for some reason would now come out raw (every time). The service is going downhill. Waiting for the check was a 25 minute ordeal. Anyway, take my opinion for what you will. I'm done ranting now. Pick your restaurant wisely.

Been here a few times an the food service a atmosphere are always good !! The prices are very fair I recommend !!

The filet mignon with blue cheese special was amazing. Perfectly cooked! Awesome taste!

The reason for my review being a 2 out of 5 is because they are not handicap accessible. They do have handicap parking spots, but if someone (such as my father in law) is in a wheel chair wants to enter into the facility, you need to have multiple people help lift and navigate the wheel chair to get in and out of the dining area as there are multiple stairs where the ramp is. The food was decent, and the main dishes looked good (at least from what I could see as we were attending a party, so it was a buffet style on our end) while they were walking by us to the upper level. the staff was courteous and answered questions we had. Took a while to replenish the food once the first platter was finished, and at the end we were advised there were two more trays of chicken parmesan even though we had to ask multiple times for more during the two hours we were there. The bathroom door in the lower dining area had a broken or stuck door handle which hassled others from using it if needed. Overall, it was just a "Meh" experience. In all honesty I will not be having another event party at this facility again, but wouldn't necessarily say to stay away from here if you haven't been before. You must try things once to decide if you like it or dislike it.

First visit for me and my wife, second for my son and his wife. Not an excessively elegant place but clean, neat, comfortable and not too noisy.-- just right for neighborhood bar & grill. Sorry I didn't get the name of the young woman who served us. She was cheerful, courteous, friendly, helpful _and_ attentive without being overbearing. And she didn't try and take away plates from diners who had finished while others were still eating. I had the Greek salad minus the pepperoncini, minus the onions, plus extra olives. (No fuss about the menu mods.) My wife had the fish & chips with sweet potato fries. The kids both had mushroom swiss burgers ordered and delivered medium rare. We had only soft drinks. Bottom line: Great food, great service. We're from pretty far out of town (Philly & VA) so a quick return is unlikely, but next time we're in the area this place will definitely be on our agenda. (Minor addendum: setting sun coming in under the blinds was in my eyes. A staffer noticed this and adjusted the blinds without our having said anything to anyone. Yay!)

Love those guys. They treat you like family. Beer prices are good the lamb chops, not cheap but man do you get your money's worth. Grilled salmon also one of my top picks. Great place for the game. If you go there a few times they know your name.

Can't understand the good reviews. The live music was good, although a bit too loud, but that's about it. They put red sauce on buffalo chicken pizza even though the menu said it comes with blue cheese. They didn't have a dessert menu and since they didn't give us an alcohol list I can only assume they don't have one either. Not good, the food does suck.

For lamb lovers !!!!! Their lamb burger is out of this world! Mike and his staff have outdone themselves with this dish. Yummy,yummy, yummy! Did I also mention that I liked it? Keep it up Mike. Kudos to you and your staff. Thank you.

Got take-out from Newtowne the other night for the first time... Steak tips and broccoli were done well. Another person in my party had the mashed potatoes which were also pretty awesome. Definitely a cheap,solid local spot to check out for dinner some night.
