Wetherlaine's Restaurant — Restaurant in Attleboro

"I have a reservation for 4," I said to the young girl at the front when we walked in. She looked a mixture of overwhelmed, confused AND bored, a combination I didn't think was possible. But that's not on Weatherlaine's; just an observation. "Just put 'em there," the older one responded to the bored one over her shoulder in between responses to the phone call she was on. Neither one asked for a name. (Huh. I must have the authoritative look or something.) We were seated right next to the noisy front desk AND the drafty door. The elderly in my party were not amused. I asked our waitress, when she breathlessly swooped in, if the empty table 2 tables away from the door was still one of her stations, since we would like to hop over to that one before dinner got rolling. She informed us that it wasn't her station, but that we could relocate and she would continue with us. So that was nice. Impressions? First, this place is noisy. There's no risk of your neighbors eavesdropping on your table conversation, which can be a good thing. Elevated voices required, but we didn't have to scream at each other. Secondly, it's "manageably cramped." It looks like it expanded organically over time, so short of a tear-down and rebuild, they've made the most of the space they have. But the food was good! All 4 of us cleaned our plates (2 baked scrods with a stuffed mushroom app, one ahi tuna and a French onion chicken sandwich) with just a clutch of roasted potatoes to take home. So, Weatherlaine's has been doing something right all these years. Admittedly it had been a good 2½ decades since I'd been there last, so my memory fades as to what it was like before. But it's quite good now! Well worth a visit... tell 'em you have a reservation....

My third time here! I love this place! I never wait more than five minutes for a table, if that. Our server has always been amazing. Very knowledgeable about the specials and what's in them and if we can alter them according to our dietary restrictions. The food is always out fast and fresh. We really love the seafood here. It's hard these days to find good food that isn't a chain restaurant. The good ol family run restaurants with changing menus according to holidays and days of the week. This place is it. A hidden gem to those that don't get out to Attleboro enough or at all! You can take the train to Attleboro, just so you know ;) We also were able to have non-alcoholic special drinks and that really made us happy since we do not drink at all. It's all very hard to find bars and restaurants that offer delicious tasting non-alcoholic drinks. We love you guys! Bravo to the entire team. Even on a big holiday for people to go out, you guys pulled off everything quite effectively and effortlessly. I am posting all the food and drinks we got down below. I didn't eat most of mine as I had weight loss surgery and can't eat much in one sitting. But I did take it to go and eat some more the next day after putting it in my air fryer and it was just as good! There are both booths and tables with chairs to make for ease of accessibility. You can also sit at the bar and eat there...

The service was exceptional but the food quality was very subpar. Second time eating here since July. That time was not very good either. Decided to give it another shot. My grilled chicken avocado club was disgusting to say the least. It was large chunks of avocado on dry bread. The grilled chicken was like it said GRILLED like on a grill. Both sides were over cooked and brown making for a tough to bite into. The inside of the chicken was extremely dry. My friend had a bacon cheese burger ordered WELL done. It arrived with a piece of cheese that was over cooked and hardly melted. The burger was still rare inside when she cut it in half to check the wellness. It was sent back and returned well done. Obviously it was the same burger (because the cheese was worse and it was still cut in half) and how do you cook a burger on just one side. They did replace the bun! Both orders came with fries which were probably the worst we’ve ever had. They were NOT crispy, yet soggy like if they were sitting in a take out box or something. I usually have enough food for leftovers but I opted not no eat 3/4 of the meal. When the waitress asked me what was wrong, I told her. She was able to get it taken off the bill. I wasn’t looking for a free meal. Waitress was tipped well but will definitely not be returning to this once...
