The Ground Round

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.

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!

Checked out the Ground Round and it didn’t disappoint - got the fish & chips - tasty meal. For a family of four with 3 adult beverages came in at just under 100 with the tip included - great value. We will return. Wanted to give a shout out to the server who was very attentive and had great attitude and energy about herself but I didn’t get her name.

Mother's Day lunch was delicious. Chef Shannon did not disappoint. Baked haddock was delicious, Blueberry Bella was like a blueberry seltzer, and we got beautiful roses. My sister got the steak tips cooked to perfection. My niece got stuffed shrimp and it was filling.

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!!!!

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.

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.
