Room, Walpole, Mass.
Beckett's Pub, Restaurant
and Function Room makes a grand entry onto the Walpole, MA, restaurant
scene
by Eric H.
They finally got it right at
1065 Main St., in Walpole, MA
Beckett's Pub and Restaurant
has taken a diamond-in-the-rough "dive" restaurant
formerly known as the Kylemore and transformed
it into an attractive, full-service restaurant. Beckett's offers
terrific Irish and American lunch and dinner menu offerings and
an interior redesign in the dining room and bar that would make
HGTV proud. This is quite a feat, considering the former Kylemore
Restaurant did little in terms of ambiance and offered an inconsistent
quality in its food through various management changes. It was
basically known as a dive in this southwest Boston suburb.
Beckett's has changed all that,
starting with its refreshed external Irish cottage look. Inside,
gleaming hardwood floors, red and gold walls with pictures of
Ireland, comfortable new booths and tables, a lively bar, Irish
background music, management and wait staff right on top of things,
wide-screen HDTV televisions and well-prepared food make Beckett's
our restaurant of choice in the Walpole area. For those in search
of a good brew, Beckett's offers 15 offerings on tap. For those
looking for a great meal, the chicken and beef curry dishes --
with braised meat in a wonderful curried sauce, and onion, peppers
and mushrooms -- are highlights. Beckett's also serves a shepard's
pie, Guinness pie, bangers and mash, Irish sausage pizza and
other Irish dishes we're eager to try. I recently had a turkey
dinner that was as good as any I've sampled in a restaurant --
full of fresh turkey, a great gravy, and stuffing.
Beckett's also makes substantial
sandwiches, including a lean reuben. The menu also features a
tasty bar pizza. They also have a children's menu and significant
function capabilities.
We look forward to returning
to Beckett's. They meet all the criteria for a positive dining
experience -- not always attainable at other restaurants in the
area.
