Blue Lantern Cafe — Restaurant in Acushnet

I heard about this establishment from a friend in the area and decided to give it a try. To my surprise I saw a run down bar with flies roaming about near the bar and beer taps. I also noticed that the bar isn't really ADA accommodating as the bathroom (men's) is very small. The main door is wide open and the kitchen was easily accessible to anyone. I saw mice running around the kitchen area and noticed that the bartender who was also the cook was not wearing a hairnet let alone gloves when preparing patrons food. Yuck! The regulars there are not the friendliest of people. I noticed a lot of LGBT rainbows and posters suggesting this place was a safe place but to my surprise i was made aware real quick that those posters and rainbows are just there for looks. The patrons that were there that night were not LGBT friendly and nor was the bartender. The insensitive comments that were mumbled and how they laughed with one another as they poked fun at an individual who is represented by an LGBT community was just unacceptable and hurtful. I will never return here and I will say this - you will reap...

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Underrated gem! Super good atmosphere, the food is the best in the city honestly, price wise and taste wise! Incredibly good selection. I promise it’s not what it used to be, too many people pass this place without giving it a shot, it’s an absolute GEM! What a nice place, I’m so happy I decided to stop by despite what many of the older crowd has said to me. I’m a local, I’m 21, and I’m a young guy, apparently according to the locals this place was such a dive back then. I could not be more happy to learn that it’s not what it used to be at all! Nancy is a wonderful bartender, chef, and owner!...

We were just looking for some lunch and walked in. It’s a very insular local crowd and the barkeep (owner?) seemed to decide immediately that we did not belong there. Okay, I am sure that there would be people I would rather not serve if I owned an establishment, but she let my 83 year-old handicapped mother, who had already struggled to get across the parking lot, go to the other end of the building to the only table before she made it clear that she would not be acknowledging us. So if you’re looking for some place that’s mean to old ladies,...
