The Ground Round

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 decided to give Ground Round a try. For those who remember, Ground Round was once a New England staple before closing all its locations over the past decade. So, when we saw it had returned, we were excited to check it out. The menu is currently on the smaller side, but that’s understandable given the restaurant has only been open a few weeks. We ordered the Chicken Parm entrée and the Soba Noodle Stir Fry from the vegetarian options—both dishes were delicious and well-prepared. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks, and the bar staff really added to the experience—friendly, attentive, and the perfect way to unwind after a long week. There was no shortage of staff on the floor, and our waitress was fantastic. We also noticed management was actively engaged and present, which speaks volumes about their commitment to service. When it came time to settle up, another server stepped in right after we placed our card in the check envelope—clearly a team that works together seamlessly. Overall, we had a great experience and are genuinely happy to see Ground Round make a comeback. Looking forward to our next visit!

This was such a great feel today. The food was great and some nostalgic snacks. The opener of course popcorn and some buffalo chicken nachos. At the bar or in the dinning hall it will bring back a few memories. That or make some new ones. Highly recommend the burgers or a nice sizzling steak. Leave room for cinnamon dippers with vanilla ice cream. They have a few dipping flavors to boot.

My Girlfriend and I visited this new establishment last week. We’ve been very excited to come here since the news they were opening back up. We were greeted right away, got a table quickly and had 3 people wait on us. I got the chicken Parmesan and my girlfriend got the steak tips, they were both so delicious and the serving sizes were huge. The place looked so amazing, the atmosphere was comforting, and the staff were very polite and friendly. This place is a slam dunk!! This will definitely be our new spot to go! Thank you Ground Round for bringing this place back to life!!!!

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.

We’re so happy to see this popular family-friendly chain reopen its doors last month—it’s like welcoming back an old friend. The restaurant still has that warm, familiar feel, with its classic wooded steakhouse-style ambiance that adds a cozy, nostalgic touch. They’ve kept all the little things that made it special: free popcorn when you sit down, and those unforgettable ice cream sundaes served in mini baseball helmets that kids (and adults) absolutely love. Portions are generous, just like before, and the family-friendly vibe is still very much alive. It’s easy to get to and parking is never a problem, which makes it a no-brainer for a relaxed night out. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the place, it's definitely worth a visit.

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, I had a black and blue (blue moon and Guinness), which was delicious. 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.

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.

The intirer is a classic loge vibe and the food is so good hightly recommend the burger and workers are so nice

I've been three times and have to say that this is more than just a nostalgic walk down memory lane for those of us who knew the old Shrewsbury Ground Round. Here's the thing, the food is really good and the atmosphere is lively and fun. During our last visit my fiancé had the lobster roll, her son had steak tips and I had grilled chicken roll up. All were excellent. A must try for elevated casual dining in a warm and fun setting.

Staff was amazing. Very efficient and nice. Quick to bring items and popcorn. Quick to clear. Food was ... meh. Looked pretty and tasted good but not worth the hype. Mac and cheese was decent but not something I'd drive for. Haddock was decent. Dessert was quick to come and smelled great. Smallish for the price ($10 for a medium crock of apple crisp). And it needed ... something. Maybe more cinnamon and a little more sugar. I've heard it's a nostalgia thing but I didn't buy it. I'm just glad they didn't still have a scale for the price of your meal (back in ye old olde days, kids got on the scale on like Tuesdays and your weight was what your parents paid ... great for the overweight kid).

Staff was very nice . Had a large party ,brought our own birthday cakes which the manager had no problem with . Our waitress, Jane , was a professional, she had no issue with handling a table of 9 . Been to other places where it took 2 waitstaff to take care of 9 and still f things up so high praise to Jane . Food was good , not great but above average . Burger was excellent and huge , fish and chips nice and crispy, ribs , tips excellent. Can't review dessert, we brought my wife's homemade cheesecake , which is excellent by the way . Will definitely go back . A little different than the old Ground Round but worth it .

What a throwback and so glad this restaurant came back from the ashes. We waited 90 minutes to be seated as the restaurant itself isn't too large but the nostalgia of it all from the popcorn to the American classics. Wings were good as I remembered. We all ordered different dishes to try and all were decently portioned and priced somewhat reasonably. Service was great and friendly. Plenty of parking

I had no idea what to expect with Ground Round. I had never heard of it but people kept talking about it and the parking lot is always full. We decided to give it a shot since we only live 3 minutes away. We were very impressed! The food was delicious, service was great (our server was Keegan)! We definitely will be going back!

Such a nostalgic feeling when visiting the newly opened The Ground Round in Shrewsbury. We started with some popcorn and pretzels with beer cheese, along the blueberry bella & nostalgia 9 adult beverages. My friend had the broccoli cheddar soup, and it could have been a little thicker. For entrees, my guy and friend had the burgers with fries or sweet potato fries, I enjoyed the sweet potato fries and wish we got some onion rings. I had the 4 cheese mac & cheese with crispy buffalo, which was absolutely delicious. Want to give a huge shout out to our waitress Lisa. As you can imagine, it was extremely busy, but she made our experience smooth with great communication and service.

Newly opened in Shrewsbury, The Ground Round has opened up on Grafton St at Route 9 Westbound. This classic restaurant & bar has a rustic modern lodge atmosphere with a high pitched wood ceiling with wood beams with the full service bar area to the left and main dining room and quieter dining room to the right. In the bar area, there is seating at the full service bar, flatscreen TVs, TouchTunes digital jukebox, and historic framed Ground Round prints & menus on the walls and in the area outide the restrooms. The opening of The Ground Round in the area has been highly anticipated by many, who have fond memories of dining at The Ground Round as a kid and young adult when there were plenty of locations open. I enjoyed countless meals and kids meals at my former local Ground Rounds in NY including in Albany, Colonie, Latham, Schenectady, and East Greenbush. I miss their Kids Pay What They Weigh (penny a pound) promotion, scale at the hostess stand for kid weigh in, lol. Also, the best part of my meal was getting their Slider Sundae for dessert served in a plastic mini baseball cap, which I still have a collection of different major league teams like the Red Sox, Yankees, Pirates, Phillies, A's, Royals, Twins, Dodgers, Expos, and Brewers. My most recent Ground Round dining experiences close to 20 years ago were several miles up the road at the former Tin Alley Grill in Framingham (Ground Round restaurant) where their fajitas were excellent and they had great happy hour specials. Fast forward to 2025, I decided to stop in at The Ground Round in Shrewsbury, which had their soft opening over the weekend. Open for dinner only during the soft opening phase. The dining room was booked solid and the bar was very busy. At the time of this posting, they were offering a very limited soft opening food menu including select appetizers, salads, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, fish & chips, steak tips, kids menu and desserts. The pricing is moderate high. The bar is fully stocked offering 10 draft beers, bottle/can beers, wine list, cocktails and mocktails. I took a seat up at the bar. I was given a soft opening food menu which I already read on social media. For dinner, I ordered the Ground Round Chicken Florentine ($24 plus tax), which had soft cooked campanelle pasta tossed tossed in a creamy cajun sauce with spinach, sliced blackened grilled chicken & arugula, served with buttered garlic toast. This pasta dish was very good and I requested a container for half of this dish, so I could order dessert.. For a dessert, the Baseball Cap Sundae ($7 plus tax) had a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, & cherry on top in a plastic mini baseball cap. However, the black mini cap had no team logo and I did ask about it. The bartender said the caps are supposed to have Red Sox or Woo Sox and the logo must have washed off. What a disappointment..... I requested the check when I was done, which was $33.17 with tax and before tip. Another bartender cashed me out. Overall, the food here tasted just fine and if I do come back to a Ground Round (MA, OH, ND, ID), I would get the fish & chips which looked like a good sized portion. The music was too loud in the bar area and could hardly hear. However, the service here needs improvement. I am cognizant that they are trying to work things out before they go full steam ahead. The bartender had a chippy attitude, did not offer me popcorn and basically told me "I don't know what to say" and walked away after I asked about the blank baseball cap, no resolution. Most bartenders would ask my name to put on the tab/check, but the name on my check was Back Row Hat (probably easier for food runners to identify or maybe they could use seat numbers). Also, no manager or owner introduced themselves to me, so I will not likely return to this location for a while. Unfortunately the service here was very similar to the former Tin Alley Grill in Framingham, which I gave the same rating, good food, spotty service. I will note, I've had both good food and stellar friendly service at the former Ground Round locations in Upstate NY, back when people actually cared.

The food was delicious and the portions were huge! Our server Keegan was very friendly, accommodating and had a lot of knowledge about the Ground Round legacy. We went on a Tuesday at 4:15 and the restaurant was already getting busy. Kids "pay what they weigh" on Tuesdays so we couldn't pass up such a good deal with our young kids. The food came out really fast and again it was SO flavorful. I loved all the nostalgia memorabilia throughout the restaurant. Even the kids were entertained by the 90s cartoons playing on a TV nearby. Can't wait to go back and try another meal.

Visited on Friday night, there before opening to ensure we could get in without a wait. The inside is clean, the service was timely, the menu has diversity. Nothing that memorable, will put it in rotation for every few months.

Along time ago in the 80's I worked as cook and became assisted kitchen manager for 5 years at the old Braintree Ground round

We arrived shortly after 4:00 PM when the restaurant opened and the place was already filling up with early bird diners. I thought there might be a special menu/dinner option because of the crowd, but there were no specials. We originally planned to have a late lunch, but GR isn't open for lunch yet. The interior has a lot of exposed beams and two tvs tuned to the Cartoon Network. We were seated and within a minute had some fresh popcorn on our table. We looked at the two-sided menu and opted for the steak tips and the signature burger. There were a lot of options that are being served in most restaurants today. Both meals were large enough that we both needed to bring the leftovers home. That didn't stop us from ordering the fried dough triangles. They were tough and hollow. The accompanying dipping sauces were skimpy and the triangles were too big to fit into the small plastic cups. Other than this dessert, the food was very good but not great. I think the prices were higher than expected, given the GR"s reputation for good food at family friendly prices. The service was adequate, but the people who were seated within minutes of us still hadn't received their main meals before we finished eating our dessert. I think it's a good restaurant but if you're looking for a trip down memory lane, Ground Round misses the mark.

That's delicious in the restaurant for chicken parmigiana sandwich and fries. Popcorn too. My friends and I went at the Ground Round at first time.

Service is great. Food was good. Prices were OK. But it was a bit of nostalgia. Nice to see a ground round back in operation.

Got there at about 4:30 (they open at 4pm this particular day) and it was already busy. Sat at the bar, waited for my husband. Upon his arrival, we shared nachos with buffalo chicken. Now let me say... the portion is HUGE. And the nachos and toppings are absolutely delicious. We added buffalo chicken and that, however, was very scarce. Very. Not much to be found. But the nachos were on point. Fresh lettuce and generous veggie toppings. Delicious. Served hot with great cheese distribution throughout (oddly, that's a common problem with Nachos... cheese distribution). Service at the bar was EXCELLENT. Super friendly, extremely attentive, very nice. Just the kind of visit I needed after a bit of a stressful day. We look forward to coming back, but you really have to visit at the right time and, judging by our past attempt at visiting with our kids w/us and also the drives past this place on numerous occasions, I'm not sure there is a "right" time. They are BUSY. But I think it's worth the wait. And yes, the nostalgia is pretty good, too. Many Ground Round memories for me from the 90s and early 2000s.

The Ground Round!!!! We have been waiting for months and so happy when it opened! The day we went we did have to wait because everyone else was also super excited they opened!!! But it was definitely worth the wait! The staff were wonderful and the food was delicious!!!! The spinach artichoke dip was so creamy and amazing and the burger was delicious!!! Oooh and the sweet potato fries!!! They were the good kind!!!! Oh and I was so excited to get my son the slider sundae! He LOVED it!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

They are still in the soft opening stage, to iron out the kinks before they fully open. With that said, cut them a little slack! They are def trying their best to please everyone. We went on a Monday , it was busy and the bar was full, we got our drinks right away, we were offered popcorn while we waited for our food, and the food was amazing! My bf said it was the best steak tips he has in a long time and my fish and chips were perfect! Can't wait for the full menu to try some more items ! The staff is super friendly, and attentive! Feels like your neighborhood pub for sure ! They are only going to get better with time and experience!

I'm aware they're in a soft opening so I will be going back at some point to try other things on the menu but here's my initial thoughts: I had a reservation at 6:00 pm on a Saturday and it was busy, probably took about 25-ish minutes to be sat, really not bad. Our waitress was lovely and very attentive, she did let us know that a couple of the chefs had called out as a heads up, no big deal. She came over quickly with our drinks, was great about refills and we got a yummy bowl of popcorn too. My husband and I ordered the mozzarella moons and the pretzel sticks to share. The mozz moons are a pretty good size but only come with 3, I kind of feel it should be at least 4 for maybe a larger party; they're tasty though and the sauce they come served over was good too, also has some pesto mixed in which hubby loved. The pretzel sticks were hot, maybe felt a bit overdone on the outside but were fluffy on the inside; my issue is the menu says it's served with either beer cheese or honey mustard, we weren't asked which we'd like so they got sent out with both, but on the bill at the end I noticed I was charged a $1.50 for both dips. I didn't bring it up with the server because, really, I'm not pressed about $1.50, it's just something to note for the future. Both apps took a bit to come out but our waitress kept letting us know that she had checked on them and they'd be coming soon, and for the trouble offered us the cheesecake dessert, which I'm not sure if it's supposed to, but came with two slices, one for me and hubby, it was very tasty. Hubby and I's main entree was the fish n' chips. He loved it, I didn't. The fish to me felt tough and not flaky, the batter wasn't super crispy either. I've read multiple reviews on both sides of the spectrum for this meal so I'm wondering if they're really just working out the kinks here. I'd be willing to give it another shot in the future. This building is in the old Benihana which I've never been inside so I'm not sure how much decoration/structure was left over, and I'm sure they're still working on it, but it needs more. Please bring back a carousel horse, that's what I vividly remember from the old place. Overall, for a soft opening, it wasn't bad. I've seen some folks write them off already and I don't think that's fair, give them a chance to get the kinks worked out and I think this place will be a gem. I'll be back for sure!

Service was great, our waitress was phenomenal. Ordered the chicken parm and it was so tasty and crispy. The pasta is a little on the mushy side. The Mac and cheese is honestly so gross so stay far away from it. It's a shade of yellow I've never seen before.

Went there for Mother's Day. From the hostess to the waitress it was the BEST SERVICE we've had in a long long time!! Appetizers were good. The menu was limited because of the holiday but good choices. Had the haddock fish and chips $22 . The batter was not something I've had before. Thick and crusty ( overcooked) but good flavor. Cole slaw soggy. FF good. Mixed drinks were average. Decor was bright as I like. The excellent service made the day nice!! Check it out!!!

Two typical pub burgers, Two cokes $46 plus tip $56 total! You decide. Nothing more needs to be said.

Our party of 3 adults arrived at 5:30 on Sunday night. There was a projected hour wait for a table. We were ok with that since we really wanted to try The Ground Round just for its Nostalgic memories. Bar was standing room only, so we ventured in expecting to stand for a bit. Then I heard, my name and was told 2 seats had opened at the Bar. Was pointed to the open chairs, thinking at least 2 of us could sit as we waited for our table. Learned the Full Menu was available at the Bar, and a 3rd seat became available within minutes. So, Dinner at the Bar was on! Greg, promptly took our drink order, provided Great Warm Popcorn and dinner menus. He didn't rush us to order meals, made sure we had our drinks and waters and were made to feel comfortable. Since the bar was busy, he mentioned that Adriana could answer questions we had about the menu, should he be serving others. What a Team! Full of Smiles, attentive and friendly. Well, the menu is full of cuisine selections, not just Burgers and Fries. We chose 3 varied meals, all presented magnificently, hot and cooked as requested. Impressive! Especially considering how busy the place was that evening. What a fun, enjoyable experience. Value was excellent too. Thank You!

Drove about 30 minutes to try and was not disappointed. Extremely busy but waitress was amazing. Attentive, gave suggestions on menu and was a delight. Food portions were generous. Had Brock chicken and was extremely moist and tasty. Husband had surf and turf and no complaints. Steak cooked correctly. White sangria was real good. With drive and will return

Outstanding meal & service! The nostalgic aroma of popcorn the minute I walked in the door was so welcoming! Food was cooked perfectly, especially the onion rings! The burger was like a burger at a backyard bbq, but 10x better. Service was attentive, but not intrusive. Just the right pace. Decor was very comfortable and casual with a touch of elegant cabin-like feel. TV screens throughout the dining area with cartoons, but not in your face or overwhelming. Great option for the whole family! It was like a well-oiled machine and they just opened!

First time being there (since we were kids). There was a wait be we got lucky and found two seats at the bar. The bartenders were AWESOME! Extremely attentive!!! Never has to ask for a refill because they asked first! Food was awesome. I had the Mac & Cheese with buffalo chicken and my husband had the tips and ribs. He loves ribs and is very critical of them but said those were awesome! He orders the tips medium and came out medium as they should (so many places end up get it wrong). My Mac & Cheese was so good and the buffalo chicken was AWESOME! I don't remember if buffalo chicken is an app, but if it's not it should be! We had the Calamari for an app, Rhode Island style is an option which we chose. Again, it was delicious! The vibe is great. Very friendly! The music that was playing was older rock which of course adds to the through back vibe! And that's real blueberries in my blueberry beer!! It took us just under an hour to get there....but we will be making that trip often!!!

45 min wait on a Sunday's night so we sat at the bar and ordered drinks and an app since 45minutes. At 45 minutes we got our app and to their benefit they were spot on with our table as they called it while we we enjoying the app (45 minutes for cheesesteak eggrolls). I brought my second drink amd props to the hostess for asking and bringing our app to our table. As suspected, our waitress delayed coming to us as we already had drinks and an app and she thought someone else had helped us. Getting food took another 30 minutes. Overall food 2as good. But is that all you want when going out to eat??

Told us 40-1hr wait, it was a 2 hour wait. We have 2 kids. If they were honest from the start- we wouldn't be disappointed customers. We would have left and come back another time. Got there at 415 and got our food 715!!!!!!! Wild. Need to be better at estimating and being honest with walk-ins

The service is a little slow because they are always slammed! It's kinda pricey and not really great but it's also not terrible. Just don't expect a lot! It's more for the nostalgia of our childhoods

Check out The Ground Round in Shrewsbury, MA. The food, staff, and ambiance are more than you would ever expect! It is incredibly popular and has a line at the door when they open at 4:00. We've gone there 4 times but only got in twice. After eating there, it's worth the wait. The food is amazing. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. It really has the feel of the old Ground Rounds, but I don't ever remember the food being so good!!!

Great service and food ! Staff very attentive . Cozy atmosphere, very warm and welcoming .

Over priced steak tips burnt inedible 1 and a half hours to complete our meal. I remember the ground round from back in the day and this is not a good place

I went to The Ground Round with some friends and family. It was about a 15 minute wait until we got seated which was honestly less than we were expecting due to how busy it was. I ordered the chicken florentine and it was absolutely delicious. Our food came after maybe 30 minutes but the entire time we had several people check in with us and offer us popcorn and drinks. We understand that they are only in soft opening phase so they are still getting used to things and straightening out any kinks but it was great. And from what Ive heard their current menu is only half of their total menu so it's clear that their menu is going to be massive. Me and my family also loved the Ground Round Hound mascot and I was very nice and nostalgic to see a restaurant have these kinds of quirks that you don't really see too often anymore. 10/10!!! Going again soon!

W were frequent visitors to the "old" Ground Round owned by Bob Bonin back in the day. It was always a wonderful friendly experience with terrific food. Since we still live in Shrewsbury, myy wife and I decided to try the "new" Ground Round on Friday April 4 around 5:45pm. We were told there was a 30 minute wait. We got seated within 15. We ordered drinks and dinner around 6pm. Many people who came in after us were being served their food. Our waitress kept reassuring us that it was on the way. It was like we were invisible. I finally spoke to the owner who said she would take care of the order and our meal would definitely be comped. We didn't get our food until 7pm. My wife ordered the Fish & Chips. I got the Classic Cheeseburger. The food was tepid and not hot. It's not like it used to be from back in the day. Never going back!

We decided to try here. We waited a bit over an hour. The noise level was an eleven which was not enjoyable at all!! We couldn't hear each other let alone the waitress hear us. When taking our order she had to ask us to repeat ourselves a couple of times. The food was good I would say. We were a party of four and ordered two appetizers. The Mozzarella Moons only 3 in the order so not enough. Then the Boneless Buffalo Chicken very good but still a little light on the portion. For our meals a Cheeseburger (slightly undercooked) Chicken Parmigiana sandwich oddly open faced , the 12 oz sirloin good but had stuff drizzled on the plate that my son definitely did not like and last the Marinated steak tips (overcooked) but ok again the plate drizzled with Pesto? and balsamic maybe? The added drizzle a bit much for The Ground Round. The manager did comp us a dessert for the overcooked steak tips.

So decided to stop by with my cousin, went into the bar side and grabbed a couple stools before the bar filled up ( 4:15) that's a good sign even if they are 3 plus weeks into opening . Popcorn came quick from a busboy / barback , However only one bartender for 30 + seats ? Until they called in a back up 530ish , sorry a bar that large also with a service side should have 2/3 bartenders at least . Ordered wings , 7 ok sized dry rub $ 15, tasty . Had to ask for more blue cheese ( 2 times ) before finally getting them . Little plastic cups ? Ehh presentation would be better and easier with a monkey dish .. also had to ask for salt and pepper, ( should be set up automatically every few stools ) just makes it easier for bartenders and staff .. got two burgers med rare ( me ) med cousin both with fries . Came at reasonable time, again 1 small ketchup in a plastic container . Had to ask for more , plus salt and pepper again because it was taken away, my burger was med well, cousins was fine . We both had to ask for onions as his had 1 paper thin slice and mine had 2 pieces of chopped onion ? Again paper thin , both asked for extra and again a small amount brought out in a soufle cup ..can't really jam or put onions in a little cup ? Burgers were lacking flavor, had to salt and pepper ... ( not sure of the mix ) possibly 70/30 which may be the lack of flavor ... again not sure .. asked for water 2 times never received, asked first bartender for a coke when burger was delivered never got it asked second bartender for one when she arrived received it but was Diet Coke . Noticed three other diners next to us had some of the same issues with toppings and temps , it's a big space and the ceiling height makes it a bit difficult to dress it up with memorabilia or the like but it's definitely needs a few more cosmetic things other than a Budweiser sign . Hoping they straighten out the kinks before their grand opening next week .. definitely need more bodies on the bar side ...
