Tumbleweed Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Gardner

Service is EXTREMELY slow - must re-request items and wait to see if you receive them. Wait staff is pitiful, no consistency at all.

Food is marginal at best and quite expensive (nachos are $11.99). Drinks are absolutely terrible unless they are pre-packaged. Bar does not know drink recipes beyond a margarita, simple shots, and Hawaiian punch (I watched someone order a whiskey sour and they had never heard of it).

Bar fights break out here often and it is fairly routine for the Gardner PD to patrol the area as they have been called to the location on several occasions. One night even included an ambulance (violent fight).

Redeeming qualities: Darts, pool table, karaoke (after 9 PM on the weekends). Can accommodate larger parties (8-10 at one table). Bouncer on premises. Bartender is very friendly. Open late on the weekends. One large, open room.

Cons: You have a 50/50 shot of getting cooked chicken. My breaded chicken sandwich was done on the edges, but inside was still cold and very pink - clearly raw. A great opportunity for salmonella. Eat at your own risk!

Sometimes you can walk in and feel the tenseness in the air and within a few minutes a large brawl as broken out - a knock down drag out, once a knife was presented. Has commonly been nicknamed "The Stab and Shoot." If you're the DD, it might be a good idea to pack a little something on your side, you know,...

Can I just say how much my family and I love Tumbleweed! There are so many reasons that make this establishment a weekly tradition for us. One, the food is wonderful with a diverse menu and specials that are changing and offer new yummy choices! We have never had a bad thing to eat there! The prices are great and nightly specials like kids eat free and taco night make it very affordable to take our three kiddos. Second, and maybe the best in my opinion, is the customer service you will receive there. I am always amazed how we are treated and quick our service is. The staff often greets it patrons by name as they arrive knowing already what they will be ordering or prefer. You can see that the owners genuinely care about their community and staff. We have been going to the Tumbleweed for a couple years now and don't really plan to ever stop! If you haven't tried it,...
