Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great local place for reasonablly priced lunch.

Jan 2020 • none

My wife and I with another couple recently had a lovely lunch at Crossroads Cafe. We had a comfortable relatively quiet banquet and a super attentive waitress. The menu had lots of great choices - always a good sign - with soups, salads, apps, sandwiches and mains. The mains are luncheon sized versions of the evening's dinner menu and are priced well. All four of use started with soup: chicken, seafood, lobster chowder and French onion. All were delicious and fresh tasting. We then went onto a Ruben (with excellent fries), luncheon haddock, fish and chips and a caesar with grilled salmon. All were hot, well cooked and delicious. We were too full for dessert!. The bar/wine/beer selections are more than adequate. My go to place for a great local lunch.

Anniversary dinner

Sept 2020 • none

We celebrated our anniversary at the Crossroads Cafe, because they have out door seating and the menu on line sounded yummy. It was our first time eating out since the pandemic began. The tables were safely distanced from each other and the staff all wore masks properly. The metal chairs are not comfortable, but they are probably easier to sanitize. We felt safe. The server taking care of us was terrific. She was attentive, flexible and very pleasant. We began with a Moscow Mule which was quite good. The French onion soup was EXCELLENT. The steak au poivre was very good and cooked as requested. I was looking forward to Duck which was on their menu on-line, but no longer available on their actual menu. The other dish that I had been considering was also off their menu, however, they accommodated and made it for me. It was good and very generous. The cheesecake was disappointing. Not perfect, but an enjoyable anniversary dinner.

Always a great experience

Jan 2021 • none

We started going to Crossroads 13 years ago and it has been our "go to" place to dine ever since. Great food and the owner, Jay, is very hospitable and entertaining. We have our favorite server and he is a large part of our experience at this eatery. I suspect this is a sort of "townies" place, but we have lived in Philadelphia, NYC, Chicago and Boston prior to moving to Littleton and we have had favorites in all of our locations - this is our favorite in the Metro Boston area. Highly recommend for the food, service and value.

Decades of excellence

Aug 2021 • none

Have been coming here for so long I cant remember when I stared, and its always excellent, very consistent. Lively bar with lots of TVs and perky bartenders. It has a pub feel but the food is far, far above above that, The lobster chowder and fresh baked bread alone is worth a trip here. I have tried almost everything on the menu and have never had a bad experience. Everything from their Sunday roast turkey with all the trimmings to steaks or seafood entrees to dinner salads to even a meatloaf sandwich is terrific. Even their house wines are drinkably good. Love that they added eggs benedict to the full time menu, now I can get breakfast for dinner anytime I want it. On the rare occasion I have enough room for dessert, they dont disappoint - the german chocolate cake is worth the calories and a must get when its on the menu. HIGHLY recommend. High quality at a great value in a fun atmosphere.

Fun and delicious.

I'm a regular. My two favs: prime rib and blackened salmon Caesar salad. Wait and bar staff are attentive, even in busy times. Love their irreverent sense of humor.

Always and still a great place for dinner

Sept 2020 • couples

Always have a great meal, and great beers, or wines, or cocktails at crossroads. It continues to be our go-to restaurant. They now have outdoor seating and do good job with social distancing inside. They are a great value, and is a friendly place to visit. So glad to see them getting through the pandemic struggles. Happy to support a place that works hard at keeping customers safe. They are back to a full menu, which is great. They have some very good dishes.

Great food, great hang

Sept 2020 • none

I go here every week. Lots of sports on TVs in bar, high top tables you can use during Covid, BEST price rib ever (and huge enough to please Fred Flintstone). Owner is always there making sure everyone is happy. JJ, Mikey and other staff VERY easy going and fun. Check it out.

Over a two hour wait for food to be served

Oct 2019 • none

We were promptly seated and the waitress came and got drink orders. Strangely there was no drink menu but was written on a chalk board on the wall that was difficult to see and without any prices listed. When questioned the waitress rattled off available wines.and said she would check and let me know the prices. No wine was ordered by me. She took our food orders and we were served 2 hours later. All the food served was on the cold side of tepid. When we were leaving it was mentioned to the waitress of the slowness of service and her response was that it was very busy. This was hard to believe because the dining room was half empty. While we were waiting after an hour or so I asked the receptionist when we would be served, her response was very curt and testy.

Fine prime rib dinner is sports-themed restaurant

Jul 2019 • solo

Had a very fine prime rib dinner (24 ozs) at this local restaurant, This dinner special came with a caesar salad; I opted for the anchovies as well. Prime rib is not cheep, but you get a lot of meal for your money.

Birthday Lunch

My daughter drove out to meet me for lunch for my birthday. She’s been doing this for years. We always meet at CrossRoads because the food is great and their staff is always friendly.

Waitress could have used help

Apr 2019 • friends

First time I ate at this restaurant. We were there with a group of ten people. The restaurant was very nice and the staff friendly and attentive. The manager even came around and talked with us. I was impossible that he took empty glasses away from the table. I never saw a restaurant manager do this. The food was excellent. Everyone said the portions were large and tasted excellent. Only downside, was that all the meals came out in large platter type plates and the waitress could only carry one at a time. Therefore she had to make 10 trips out to the table. Someone should have helped her. We will be back.

Okay food, average experience

Apr 2019 • family

This restaurant has been here for a very long tome. It’s known for regular meals. Prime rib, steaks, pasta, etc. Red wine pours are generous. Beer selection is very old school. Not much in the craft arena. It’s fine. Not great. Totally old school.
