Don't go here if you're in a hurry. Service is typically slow due to the crowd of people that always go here. Once you do get your food it is delicious so worth the wait. Service is usually very good. Live music outside in good weather. Parking in rear. Great place but expect a bit of a wait to get your food.

Went here about a month ago after an evening hockey game. We needed some real food from a place opened late. Needless to say when we got there. The place was packed with a small wait list around 1040pm. The place had a good restaurant atmosphere, busy... staff working all around. So they seated us after about 10 to 15 minutes wait and from there they were consistent with coming to check into with us frequently. So we started off with an appetizer and some drinks. The appetizer wasPita Chips$9, Deep fried Greek Pita is topped with our famous cheese blend, melted and served with sour cream and salsa... it was really good! Would definitely get it again.So for the drinks the girlfriend ordered the mudpie martini which was amazingly delicious but very strong and for myself I got the blood orange rum punch which was delicious as well but not as strong as hers.As for the main course, I got theMarinated Beef Tips$26, 10oz Pan Seared Sirloin Beef Tips, topped with mushroom and caramelized onion demi-glace with Mashed potatoes and Broccoli.-the dish is one I dont see to often, the tips were done perfect with a night pink center and the demiglaze was delicious, perfect amount on the tips and a little left for the mashed potatoes. I would definitely get this again..the girlfriend got theChicken & Broccoli Alfredo$21, Fresh chicken tenders, garlic, and broccoli in a creamy parmesan sauce with penna-as expected with an Alfredo, it was made good, no issues, but you know what your expecting with this dishOverall, the staff did a good job. The atmosphere was good and the food and drinks were great to.. I would totally go back if were ever out that way again. 5 stars!

We got a 5 Star here says the better half!We started our late afternoon delight with a Guinness and a Mixer as we Browsed the menu, we started our meal with an Amazing appetizer the handmade pita chips and spinach dip followed up by The Buffalo, A white dill pizza topped off with Strips of buffalo chicken and their cheese blend. We will definitely be returning to the Boynton in Worcester Massachusetts thank you for having us ❤️

This place has different beers selections. What I like the most were the local ones with their different ‘flavors’. You really should try them. Food was very good. The one that I like the most was the lobster Rangoon, it was so delicious. They also serve you a good amount of food so be prepared to eat a lot or bring back home! In general I had a good time here with my husband, music wasn’t that loud so we could talk and the waitress was also very attentive. They even have someone in the parking lot who helps you to park! So you don’t have to look where to park for minutes as he helps you to park in an open space. We had pastrami burger, shrimp tacos (with mango ?) an appetizer which had everything! Lobster Rangoon, onion rings, buffalo wings… and some other things. And as a “little gift” a little bottle of tabaco sauce which I didn’t use I brought it home because was so cute ?.

We visited The Boynton for lunch. It was crowded and it took some time before a waitress came to take our order. It took too long for the food to arrive. The burger was okay. The fried pickles weren't crispy or very flavorful. When we go back I'm going to try their pizza. I've heard it's really good.

Excellent food . Very friendly staff and quick service. Prices were also very reasonable.

Needed to grab lunch before heading home after a college visit to WPI so we randomly picked this location out of a list provided by the school. The variety of the menu and the proximity to the school is what drew us to this location. As mentioned - the menu has many options from salads, sandwiches, and many entrees offered something for everyone. My chicken wing expert teenage son dove into a dozen buffalo wings and gave a thumbs up. My wife enjoyed the eggplant parm sandwich - portion large enough that she brought half of it home. I went with the Tune Sashimi, which was flat out fantastic. It’s has a Cajun seasoning, served on a bed of Jasmine rice with a Asian slaw side that was amazing. If my son decides to attend WPI, I will have to grab this dish every time I visit him - which may be more often than he wants. Service was great - food came up quick and the servers made sure to check in on us. They offer indoor, outside umbrella seats and outdoor tent seats. Prices were moderate.

fish and chips were horrible,not good service,waited at least 20 mins before waitress came over ,awful experience

Service was great. Food was great. Atmosphere was great. Pickles were cucumbers.

Went to the Boynton for the first time since the pandemic on my birthday 9/26/21. Normally I would give this a 3-4 stars but it was just not good. My boyfriend actually liked his tacos (said they were ok). Other than that I wasn't impressed. I had poutine and there was hardly any gravy in it. It was edible but it was not what I paid for. Then, I had the fettuccine Alfredo. It was bland and had no flavor whatsoever. I had to add a ton of pepper and some salt to it so it would taste better. It was hard to eat. The bartender (we sat at the bar) never came over and asked us how our meals were and very inattentive. I had to ask him for another drink and my bf had to ask him for the bill. It was packed but not slammed. There were still seats at the bar available and he wasn't running around. I think he could've done s better job. I was not impressed with this and hope this isn't how it is next time I visit.
