Have you ever been sitting right beside a treasure but didn't notice it? You know like when the star athlete lives next door to a girl perfect for him but it takes the entire movie for him to realize it? Well this is like that. Well, sort of. You see, in this story, I am the star athlete who has overlooked Banners Grill and Pub for eight years now-- only to have finally fallen in love with the girl-- I mean the grill next door - Banners. This is the story of how we met and how I fell in love. For eight years I have lived a stones throw away from Banners off of Boston Road. I drive by there sometimes four times a week. They are always packed - with cars lined down the side of parking lot. And don't even get me started as to the " big game" days. But despite this fact, when I ordered delivery from Banners the first time-- I was so very happy that I finally did so. The dish, though only lowly chicken tenders and fries- was amazing. The tenders were crispy outside and so good inside. And these were no regular tenders - each one was half the size of my whole hand. And then the fries. Crispy and delicious. Oh and the ranch. That glorious homemade ranch. Such a terrific bite. You can't go wrong. I'm so glad I finally noticed the girl next door. Or should I say- the GRILL next door. She's a hidden gem right here in plain sight. Thanks Banners!i
Generally,Good service this day and a GREAT Banners Burger with onion rings. Sometimes the service is awesome!
Great atmosphere to have a beer and watch a game. Very much the feel of a neighborhood bar.
Food is always good and good size portions. Service is surprisingly fast considering they are always busy. Numerous TV's for sports fans to enjoy while dining inside or at the bar. Never been disappointed.
Fun place. Very crowded. Good craft beers. An 80's band started at 9:30 and they were great. They have really good traditional bar food. My favorite was the fried pepper jack cheese balls. Everyone at the table loved them. I had the nachos with buffalo chicken and it was enough for two of us. Our friends had burgers and they looked great, big, thick beef patties. I can't wait to go back for those Cheese balls!
Not a huge fan of Banners food but in a pinch it is very fairly priced. I will say that I love have a few drinks there and maybe an appetizer. The people working there are always nice and accommodating. I have tried many of the food items and while they aren't up my alley I know many of my friends love the food. They stay open really late as well so for late night crowd that is a plus. Also a GREAT place to eat cheap and catch a game! Their TV set up is insane maybe 25 tv's in a smaller space. Not a bad seat in the house for game viewing.
I've been going here for the past 25 years - although it's changed ownership a couple times during that period - and it's reliably good food and a good crowd. Live music and a good rotating beer tap.
Delicious! Went with a big group the pepper jack cheese bites were delicious! Wings were delicious and whatever burger my husband got looked delicious. I was too full to eat any. Everyone working was super cool and got the food out to us quick. We all loved it
Big menu. I've never had anything I didn't like. Fried pickles are another favorite. Friendly staff. Around 30 televisions in this place for viewing your fave game.
