    I've been coming to Slattery's for years, but I live out of the area now. I recently dined there with family and friends on a visit home.

    The atmosphere is dated, no getting around that. I'm not sure if it's been updated in 15 years (or more). However, this minor con is far outweighed by the pros.

    The menu is diverse and varied. I see where other Yelpers cite that as a negative - which I can usually understand - but Slattery's seems to do everything well, so I don't see it as an issue. On the contrary, Slattery's is the type of place where you can go with a bunch of people in the mood for a bunch of different things and everyone's likely to come away full and happy.

    Our server, who's name I can't recall, has been at Slattery's forever. She's always prompt and cheerful and this recent visit was no exception. Service couldn't have been better and the food came out quick and tasty.

    Zucchini sticks, clam chowder and chix fry (or Bad Boy) are mandatory. Slattery's remains a "must visit" place whenever I'm back in town.

    Have been stopping here for a very long time, it is really 2 places, front is a sports bar scene, back a restaurant, though you can get food in both areas, nice selection of beers, and they make a great martini......BUT the food is lackluster, i had a chicken type sandwich which was impossible to eat as the chunks of chicken were way too big , and somewhat dry and overcooked, wife had fish which she thought was good, we ate at the bar and ervice was prompt and l=pleasant.....would be a really great place if they could learn to make a good meal, and i have had some good ones there, but it is not the norm!!

    Went with a Co-worker for dinner while in town based on Yelp ratings. We were underwhelmed. If you want my comparison check out Conrad's in Norwood, MA.

    Food- 2.5 stars.
    First off the menu is all over the place, no real focus.

    Appetizer (little havana's) was poorly described on menu and was a sandwich when it came out. What kinda appetizer is a sandwich? It was also dry and lacking in flavor.

    Burger was O.K. but nothing to write home about. Fries were low quality (lots of tiny pieces and ends).

    Co-worker got Chicken/Broccoli/Ziti. She said it was fine but also nothing special.

    Atmosphere- 4 Stars, I like the bar in the front and the general atmosphere is friendly/homey.

    Drinks- 2 stars. First I asked for a special beer they had on the menu, they were out, no big deal. Then I asked for another one, she wasn't sure had to check. When it did come there was a fruit fly floating in it, but it took so long I almost drank it anyways. Then when I ordered a different beer there was stuff floating in it, my guess is the taps aren't used enough and the lines were dirty, which is disgusting.

    Service- 3 Stars. Very friendly but a little slow.

    How this place gets a four star rating I don't understand.  Yes, I live in Boston and have endless dining options at my fingertips, but I grew up in Worcester County and frequented this place even when I lived there.  Its grimy, attracts some unpleasant characters, and the food is usually super greasy or cold by the time it hits the table.  I used to love Slattery's, but its been going downhill and now its just outright awful. Save your money and head to one of the better establishments nearby (Monument Grill, Apple Barn, even Espresso's downtown is better than Slats).

    Ever go to a restaurant that serves LOTS of great food, but you seem to find yourself ordering the same one or two things every time?  Yeah...Slattery's is no exception.

    On a busy street corner of Lunenburg St in Fitchburg MA, you will probably drive right by it for the 1st time.  A dimly lit sign on the side of the building is all you'll see.  The front entrance is a bar...and the side/rear entrance is the dining room.

    Once inside, you'll find a decent sized dining room...with a bar of its own.

    Staff is friendly and courteous...and for the most part, very attentive to their tables.

    The atmosphere is cozy and you can sip on some cocktails while waiting.  Even Keno is available for you gamblers.

    Zucchini Sticks:
    World Famous!  Well, that is what the menu says...if the world COULD try them, I am sure they would be!  This appetizer is the best!  And prepare to share with about 2-4 of your friends as the mound of zucchini is high.  They're lightly deep fried in a perfect batter of bread crumbs...and come with a side of creamy horseradish sauce.  They are really good, so be sure to try them.  Of everyone that I introduced to this appetizer, everyone has enjoyed them.

    Chicken, Ziti and Broccoli:
    A really great entree...

    You'll be introduced to a huge bowl of pasta, chicken and broccoli sauteed in Olive Oil with a garlic all around.  I've tried other similar dishes at other places, but Slattery's still as the best.  This dish is 2 meals easily.

    Salt to taste is the only advice here.  Sometimes it needs just a little.

    Chix-Fry:
    Who doesn't love a deep fried chicken cutlet?!  This one is sure to please too.  Served on a toasted slab of French bread...with lettuce, tomato, onion and Russian Dressing.

    The only reason it gets 4 stars is unfortunately it comes with potato chips and a pickle.  In fact, I think all their sandwiches come like that...for another $2 you can get their hand-cut fries...which are pretty good, but not great.

    Great place to grab lunch. I had the chicken sandwich on french bread and the sandwich was HUGE...and delicious...They have such a great menu and they have over 30 beers on draft if you're a beer lover.

    Slattery's is a great place to go for a meal or to watch a game in the bar.

    The beer selection is always pretty good with plenty of interesting selections to choose from. Make sure to check out the chicken wings with the CJ's pub sauce which are great. The menu selection is really diverse and everything is very tasty. Burgers, sandwiches and paninis don't come with fries unless you ask so make sure you do. They also have really good sweet potato fries which you can order too. The only thing I haven't gotten here is a steak so I'm not sure how good they are.

    I always eat in the bar as you don't have to wait and I like the atmosphere better in there anyways, but the dining room is nice. The parking can be a pain sometimes as their lot is small and always full, but you can park on all the streets around it.

    I've been coming here since college and the food has always been excellent.  They also have great drinks and a really nice bar separate from the restaurant.  I've always remembered, in particular, the stuffed mushrooms.

    This place is a family favorite. It's great for big groups and get-togethers. They have tons of appetizers which I tend to load up on instead of getting a meal. If you do get a meal, the chicken & broccoli is very good.

    Traditional American diner, they are famous on fried zucchini and grilled Chicken satay. I also ordered a salmon sandwich.  Waitress are friendly and food came pretty fast.

    I just revisited and our waitress made our whole time worthwhile. Our drinks were way to strong and she fixed them and made them perfect. The french dip was to die for. I cant wait to go back

    We only eat in the bar.  The dining room tube lighting is unappetizing.  They have recently refurbished the bar area a bit, nice tables and chairs.  The food: it's hit or miss on many items, but the Little Necks Portuguese is one of the best dishes I've ever had.  It is consistently delicious.  That's my main reason for giving Slattery's 4 stars.  You've gotta try it!

    Nice place. Good for both the bar and the restaurant. The menu has a large amount of offerings. You'd be hard pressed to find some kind of food not on this menu. Bar area offers a good place to sit with groups, play pool, or watch the game.
