    We are here on a baseball trip and found this place via Google. We were not disappointed. The food was delicious and our server was FANTASTIC! Her name was Steph S. Couldn't ask for someone better. We would definitely recommend.

    Mediocre food, terrible service and experience. We had a reservation and they sat us at a table that was right in front of the kitchen by a couple of feet. Before we had even seen a waiter, servers were nudging our chairs so they could get by and passing dirty dishes over our heads to get them to the kitchen. I asked our waiter to seat us at a different table and she said she would look into it. As she was “looking into it” they cleared tables all around us and seated new customers. I eventually got up and went to the hosting table to ask them to give us a different table, they said they would check. After another couple of minutes they said they couldn’t move us. I asked for the manager and he came out and gave us the next open table. After finally getting a table that wasn’t irresponsibly located, I ordered the Welly’s Pastrami. It tasted like a hot dog and was underseasoned. My wife’s haddock was quite good. If it was just the food I would give it another chance but the service was truly awful, I recommend staying away.

    Great service, very nice atmosphere, great patio, but the food was ok. Started with the chowder. When the bowl arrived it had a thin skin layer on top, and had to add salt and pepper to enhance the flavour. Had the fish n chips as the main course. Nice piece of fish, and I liked that the breading wasn’t very thick. Unfortunately it didn’t have any flavour either. The Tartar sauce and coleslaw were tasty and that helped the flavours. Waitress mentioned that the cashew chicken is their specialty, so I might try that next time.

    Very homily vibes from this restaurant. Food takes about 15 minutes to come but service is awesome... The food is the best I've ever tasted... Maybe this is out of lack of 3xposure coz I'm comparing it to East African similar dishes but even the vegetables tasted delicious. I'd give a 5 star rating if the food came out quicker but aside from that, awesome experience!

    It was our first time at the restaurant and was very refreshing to go out to eat and the food is fantastic. The sangria was very good and my surf and turf was delicious and cooked perfectly. The portions were good size. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day we enjoyed the fresh air and the great service from our server. She was very attentive to all our needs. I 100 percent recommend this restaurant to all who want some delicious food. Oh did I say I was visiting from NC. I wish we had one where we live. Lol.

    Thanks to Joe who seated us on a busy Sunday. Everyone was out enjoying the weather. Our waiter needed a little encouragement to bring out set up and dishes. He was busy and had no time to converse....We ordered fish tacos grilled. The tacos were great as always... love Wellys. Will of course be back!!

    Took the family here for Lunch and the food is awesome. The wife and I got the BBQ bacon burger with fries and onion rings, soooo good. The kids got pasta, Mac n cheese, and chicken tenders. The server was awesome and the food came out in great time. We sat in the outdoor seating area which was nice. The inside was very nice as well. We will be back for sure.

    Great Food downtown! Welly's has a big menu with lots to choose from and all reasonably priced. The French Dip and Reuben sandwiches were great! Lots of flavor and tender meat. The French fries are nice and crispy, not like those soggy pale excuses for fries other places serve. Very happy with the first time there and sure to be back again. Try Welly's and you will be glad you did!

    If I could give 6 stars I would. Have never found a restaurant like it. So many options for so many different palates. The pasta is to die for, the burgers are so tasty, the steak is so juicy, and don’t even get me started on the appetizers and specials they have. My favorite restaurant so far. The staff is friendly, the ambient is comfortable, the food is amazing. If you ever go to Marlborough, visit Wellys! And get a Carbonara with Angel Hair, you won’t regret!

    We were on the hunt for a lobster roll and decided to try Welly’s. Very pleasantly surprised. The lobster roll, French onion soup and cauliflower were all delicious. The soup had SO much depth and flavor. The side of onion rings could have used a bit longer cook time and a dash of seasoning but who’s complaining about onion rings. Friendly server, welcoming spot.

  • 5/5 Kathy L. 8 months ago on Google
    Very welcoming and the most pleasant staff! Kathleen my waitress even brought a dog bowl and water for my pooch. Plus it smelled much better than the neighborhood tavern and the view is great!

    I was there last night (Tuesday August 15th) for my best friend’s B-day dinner. E-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t EXPERIENCE!! Food was perfect, from the Fried Calamari to the entries, drinks, staff well trained, polite, helpful. Very good environment.l

  • 5/5 Diane L. 4 months ago on Google
    My family had a really great experience with stellar service. One member of our party was not thrilled with the prep for his dish and was comped for the price of it. The rest of us were more than happy with our delicious meals and drinks. Street parking at this location could certainly be more plentiful. But I would definitely go here again and look forward to checking out the location closer to my home.

  • 5/5 Joe B. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. Place was clean and the staff were friendly and on the ball. Brazilian Burger and a Reuben both came out hot and quick. Dining room was a little loud with little soft surfaces to absorb the clamor. Value for the $$$ is excellent with very reasonable prices and daily specials too.

  • 3/5 Ketteland F. 9 months ago on Google
    We did out door seating. Food was good. It is street parking. We put an order in for apps and they came out pretty decently but they took a long time to come back over to put our order in for our meals. I did get annoyed by that because I was killing time before going to a concert but they took so long that I didn’t even get a meal I got an order of fries and my sister got a meal. There was a decent amount of people there but not enough to be forgotten about.

  • 5/5 Emma M. 8 months ago on Google
    Welly's was so kind to my family in helping us plan a 25 person dinner at the last minute. Brie helped make sure we had a private room with enough space for any surprise guests and helped pick a set menu for the event. She was very considerate of the vegan/vegetarian guests in our party. Service was excellent considering the circumstances and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend!

  • 2/5 Sara A. 10 months ago on Google
    No. Just no. We got a male server who seemed uncomfortable serving me and my partner. He made me repeat my order 3 times. The servers and management look like they are being forced to be there. I would give costumer service 0 if I can. The food is not all that either; better then fast food places but not worth 5 star. The space is very small inside and outside. Go to the location in Hudson is much better.

  • 5/5 Louis L. 9 months ago on Google
    Staff was really helpful and nice. Food was delicious. First time trying a cold lobster roll sandwich. Definitely worth trying. Fries were good as well.

  • 5/5 Sean S. 6 months ago on Google
    First time dining at Welly’s with a friend. Our table wasn’t ready when we arrived but the food and service was spot on. There was a large table next to us without about 9 people that were being loud and obnoxious but that wouldn’t deter me from coming back.

  • 3/5 Jenn B. 1 year ago on Google
    We’ve ordered here at least once a week for years. It was one of our favorite places but lately I’ve been disappointed in something every time! Last week the avocado in my salad was completely rotten, not tiny little brown spots…almost completely black! The week before I ordered shepherds pie and they forgot to put potatoes in! The short ribs were good but the portion we received wasn’t worth $8 never mind $28!

  • 5/5 Amanda Rangel S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the staff and love the service. The french onion soup is delicious. I normally order something different every time so there is no dish I would particularly recommend, they are all great. Waitress Jennifer is sweet and super friendly, definitely will be going back soon!

  • 5/5 A H. 1 year ago on Google
    Pasta dish were great and able to select vegan options, too. Pizzas & calzones were awesome. Excellent selections and great service, too.

  • 4/5 Jake L. 1 year ago on Google
    I really am impressed with the remodel they did in recent years — the restaurant now feels a lot more open and modern. The food is excellent and reasonably priced, and the waitstaff is terrific. I love their outdoor patio in warm weather. My only complaint is that when it’s slow, the staff often just stand around and talk, which projects a lazy air. “If there’s time to lean, there’s time to clean!” Overall, though, both locations are a treasure to Marlborough and Hudson.

  • 5/5 Jayson B. 1 year ago on Google
    Tuesday night chicken parm! I chose the linguine, you also have the option of ziti I believe. First, great portion! Definitely enough for a guy to eat and be full. If you eat like a bird maybe you could split 1. The chicken was cooked perfectly, breaded and still moist on the inside. I was hungry this night and almost ordered the meatloaf. Did I mention the deal for this meal??? Chicken Parm Tuesdays!

  • 5/5 Scott P. 1 year ago on Google
    I was on vacation in the United States for 8 days and this place has the best food by a landslide. It is so good that if I lived near Marlborough that I would be eating here every few days, especially a pizza once a week forever. The pizza even tasted amazing the next day when it was stone cold out of the fridge. Staff was great, price was right, atmosphere was spot on. I wish that this place was in my neighbourhood. I literally missed eating here the very next day. Good job.

  • 5/5 Jeffrey B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food at reasonable prices. Good selection of craft beers. Great friendly service.

  • 5/5 jeanette L. 2 years ago on Google
    Big portions, good food, reasonable prices. Outside dining option with propane heaters. We were very happy with dinner. It was hard to fins a parking spot in a Saturday night but once we did we were seated after only a few minutes wait

  • 5/5 jamie c. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere. Food came out fast and was very good. Our group had chicken with broccoli, chicken Parmesan , chicken saltimboca, chicken Madeira and a wrap and everything was delicious!

  • 4/5 Lindsay L. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a party and had an awesome time. Sampled the buffalo tenders, garden salad, mozzarella sticks, potato wedges as apps and had the Lindsey's Haddock with double veg as my meal, everything was great! All of the servers were friendly and helpful, parking on Main St was easy, the room fit our group of ~40 well, and the bathrooms were very clean. Small selection of seasonal beers but it would be great to see more local options especially since there are so many local breweries nearby. Will definitely be back to try more menu items

  • 4/5 Stacey B. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped by here while driving through the area. Parking was a little crazy but totally worth the stop. Menu was great and they have good non-meat options. Crispy Korean cauliflower was solid. Staff was very accommodating when we didn't have a reservation while they were pretty booked. It's very loud in there on a busy night, but the back room is much quieter. Would definitely come back here.

  • 4/5 Lauren L. 2 years ago on Google
    Lindsey's Haddock with a few bites missing - sorry couldn't wait! There was no Parmigiano on top as described but the fish was very fresh and tasty and veggies were cooked perfectly as well. Our waitress was very busy but super sweet as well.
