Cronin's Publick House — Restaurant in Quincy

Really liked this place. I was getting a set of tires and had 90 minutes to kill. GPS said this place was just over a half mile away.

Additionally, it seems that they do not give free refills on sodas, which makes absolutely no sense to me.

Like I said, I want to love Cronin's. I want to go back, but the service is...

I was looking forward to going to this place. The steak tips looks great in the pictures online. Unfortunately they were terrible once I got here. They were charred yet undercooked. They also weren't marinated at all. Steak tips are my favorite food, I get them everywhere I go. These just tasted like nothing. Also to top it off the mash potatoes weren't home made. I've had instant potatoes better than the ones they served me. Service was great though, can't...
