Blueprint American Bar And Grille

No complaints. I called ahead to ask for outdoor seating, which they had one of their 4 tables available. We ordered outside, but it was a little cool, so we went inside. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. All four of us liked our food. Fries were good. Fish & chips, Cowboy burger, and Mac & cheese were good. I had Mac burger, which was awesome. Actually, one complaint — Coke was $ 3.00!!! My 20 oz. draft beer was only $ 4.25 in comparison.

Love this place. Both the drink and food
menu seems to change a lot but in this case change is good. Gets crowded on the weekend evenings but service is still prompt!

I want to give this place a 4 or better but I only had drinks. I promise to revise this upon eating there. Still yet, they get a solid 3 because the service was good and the service was good. Nice little place considering its location. I’m sure I’ll repost a 4 my next go around.

They just can’t get their act together here. Sent my dinner back twice. Brian sent his back too. So did two other tables next to us. My burger was mooing. Last time I was here my dinner had to be sent back too. The rice was hard, like it was old and had been microwaved. Thought I’d give it another try. Nope. Now we’re done. If you can’t even cook a burger, give it up. Waitress was very nice, though.

Everyone has their own experiences and opinions, but for me … I loved this place. The wait staff is likely the most friendly around. The ambiance is busy and loud like you’d expect in a bar, but yet it doesn’t feel cramped. I had the pulled pork sandwich, which was perfect and chunky. The right amount of BBQ sauce. The grilled cheese for my daughter had good cheddar cheese (not American). The coleslaw was not your average slaw. I can tell the chef has good taste and is trying to make his mark and give the slaw some punch; good strong vinegar and celery seed base.
Great place to eat!

Arrived a few minutes before opening time, and a waitress came outside and waved for us to enter and sat us next to the front window, then took our drink order after handing us menus. The service and food was very good, the staff was attentive and friendly, and the prices for both specials and menu food were reasonable.
It was our first time there, but we’ll be back when we’re in town.

If you do go, check out the bartender and the music. If it’s a wannabe hipster squid with a man bun, and there is Joni Mitchell cranked, just walk out.
Bartender ruins it. Great food, Great value for the price, large beer menu. Bad music. LOUD music. Went there this past Sunday nite for dinner, looking to hang out, drink, and eat for a few hours. We placed our order, thinking the music would change soon, like every bar. The bartender is a 20 something dirty hipster, complete with dirty hair bun. Joni Mitchell songs, Crosby Stills & Nash’s, Bob Marley, CRANKED up to 11. Who does that? Our table, and the tables on either side of us complained. Even the table of 4 old hippies laffed and said it was too much! The waitresses explained it’s the bartenders playlist, and his friends are over, and he won’t change it.
One of our party did not want to wait for the waitress, so went right to the bar to get the first round. The bar was only at half capacity, and 6 seats were occupied by the bartenders loser friends. The bartender could not tear himself away from his high school buddies. He was not getting anybody drinks. After a solid 5 minutes of waving cash, our guy gave up. The bar lost out on $ 3 – 400 worth of drinks we would have bought that night. And that would have been consistent if we had made this our weekly hangout.
When the waitress came back to ask us how everything was, we just asked for the check. Actually, we had to SHOUT for it. We were looking forward to sampling the extensive craft beer menu, but were so annoyed we did not even finish our meal. Get us out of here!
The fun continued outside. On the sidewalk, dirty hair bun dude is crowding the exit, smoking butts with his 6 d-​bag friends. To exit, we had to go thru the smoke cloud. Blatant disregard of MA state law. They eyeball the hot chicks in our group, but can’t be bothered to get out of our way. Without even taking the butt out of his mouth «THANK YOU GUYS COME AGAIN» the filthy bartender shouts as an afterthought. The women were completely skeeved out. Never coming back. Never never never.

Absolutely one of the best places around. Good food as well as good environment!

In its second year the Blueprint is holding its own with a small but complete bistro style menu. The bar hosts a substantial list of local brewery products and there isn’t much that’s not covered. We were not here to drink tonight but it would be a first choice if we were looking for a diverse micro brew selection. Seated and served by our waitress Sandy, Sandy had her head well wrapped and did a great job catering to us. Even with a lag from the kitchen on our desert order she did the right thing and comp’d our coffee. It wasn’t much but it’s the right thing to do, it’s called customer service. Nice job Sandy.
From the menu we ordered a dry rub BBQ style chicken wing appetizer, a daily special was free range chicken gumbo with sausage, and a special cheese melt with grilled pineapple and sausage sandwich. Ended with a liquor infused poached pear wrapped in puff pastry, very tasty. Most was brought out timely and hot. Portion sizes were adequate. Prices were fair. Appetizer prices ranged between $ 6 and $ 10, entrées from $ 8 to $ 22. They also had a great burger menu that would seem to go well with a cold one on tap.
What I liked. Menu is unique to the area and food is fresh and well presented. Wait staff is well trained and professional. Prices are what’s expected. Diverse microbrew selection. Great place for a cocktail with friends on a slow night.
What I didn’t. Service slows down drastically when the place picks up. The acoustics in the bar and dining area are not very good. The space is loud even when its slow. Hard to hear your conversation and when it gets busy its much worst. If your coming in to just drink it could get a little pricey.
All in all I would be back. Absolutely. Not sure if I recommend a busy night. Things get a little crazy in here as I have seen on several occasions.

Came here instead of going to the buffet at Great Wolf Lodge. It was a good choice. The food was fantastic (we had the shrimp scampi and steak salad) and there is a large beer selection. The kids menu is good too and my boys enjoyed the food and having room to play.

If you love beer, you’ll love it here. I have to say, I didn’t expect the Blueprint to rise to the occasion, but last Friday I was pleasantly surprised by this stripmall hideaway in rural (ish) Massachusetts.
Parking parking parking parking — — - there’s a plenty. The wait at 7:30pm on a Friday was zilch — we were seating right away. I’m glad that we sat where we did, because we had a clear view of this MASSIVE wall-​sized blackboard with beer list! Of course I ordered their version of the Moscow Mule («Town Mule»), but their other cleverly named spirits (Rosemary’s Garden, Bittersweet Truth, Spring Fling, Sazerac — good stuff!); cocktails will run you $ 9 (not bad!).
The menu: woof — — - so many options! The beau decided on a Special (short rib burger — what!!!) which he reported was very good (great shoestring fries, too). My order: the Spinach Salad ($ 10 spinach, kalamata, feta, cucumber). This salad is absolutely entrée-​sized (yay!), but recommend getting the dressing on the size. All the while we jammed out to live tunes in the neighborring room (there’s more seatting space and a billiards table in there, too!).
On a disappointing note, the nachos (which actually came after our entrees, the ticket was lost) were… ehh. A massive tower of chips and topping with only a gauc drizzle and the majority of the cheese sinking to the bottom of the plate. It’s a decently-​sized plate for $ 11…but this app alone isn’t enough of a reason for the pilgrimage.
What made it worth it: live band (SO GOOD!), great bevvies, great crowd (the first Sox-​Yanks game was on and the crowd was enthusiastic), and can’t wait to return for their flatbread pizzas!

For all my fellow foodies visiting great wolf lodge, skip the buffet at the hotel and come here instead. Super inventive food with a great selection of beers, and a kids menu with meals for $ 5. There is a big bar in the middle of the room, with a good amount of tables and a mellow atmosphere. The chef clearly knows what he’s doing– the special was the most creative grilled cheese I have ever had: prosciutto with 2 types of cheese and kale on cinnamon raisin bread. Great place to eat with or without kids, and if you’re kid free the bar is fabulous.

Went last night. place was crazy packed and took awhile to get food but the drinks and food are totally grade A … I got the Caesar la wedge to start. my wife and sister in law rocked the steamed mussels… we all agreed some of the best apps we have had in a long time. I mean im giving a review on a SALAD. but it was that good to need to be talked about … for dinner me and my wife had the bacon burger and sister in law went with fish tacos … again. freaking amazing. i’d say best burger I’ve had in a long time … cooked 100% the way I asked (Med rare) and I mean was just damn good … They only thing neg I might have is just how busy it was. but besides that we will be back again and again …

Soup special wasn’t ready at 6:30 and the veg didn’t come out until the salmon was eaten. Everyone gets carded with wrist band because they didn’t do their due diligence after hours and served to minors so the 30 – 50 clientele that the prices obviously cater to have to suffer.

Been here a few times and still like it quite a bit. Food quality is consistent-​ish, beer selection good, awesome staff. My gripe? Got a 22 dollar fried shrimp special to take home and after two bites realized they weren’t deveined. Flippin’ gross.

This place is amazing! As mentioned in previous reviews, it has much more of a bar vibe than a restaurant, but we went with our 3 girls (all less than 7 yrs old) and still had a fantastic experience.
Pros: The detail paid to the food is incredible for a «bar» in the end of a strip mall in Westminster. The outside does not do the inside justice! Sliders made with small Portuguese rolls instead of generic, hot wings that are actually «hot» with an actual recipe and aren’t just Frank’s and melted butter, pretzel rolls for the hot dogs, fresh cut shoestrings instead of frozen etc. etc. Honestly just really impressed all around. Cocktails were super tasty also. Service was quick and attentive without feeling rushed.
Cons: If you aren’t from area it is a long haul for just dinner and drinks ;)

Simple American faire burgers, pizza some nice apps and an extensive beer menu. Worth the visit.
Tiki Tuesday, Trivia Wednesday, Thursday is $ 1 beer night and they do a build your own Bloody Mary on Sat & Sun… Just snuck a peak @ the breakfast menu — reasonable prices … Going to come for breakfast!

When I saw deviled eggs on the menu online, I knew I’d love this place.
I grew up in the area and had Blueprint been around when I was growing up, it might not have taken until college to understand what good food tastes like!
OK let’s get into it. Like a few professional eaters, we ordered half the lunch menu and loved EVERY SINGLE ITEM. When does that happen? Never, that’s when!
Let’s first talk about the deviled eggs, shall we? Deviled eggs are my favorite new app trend and BP didn’t disappoint with crispy bacon on top and a shot of hot sauce! On that note, neither did the pulled pork mac & cheese or the bbq rubbed wings!
Moving on to meals, we of course rotated our plates around to get a taste of everything. The burger was hot, fresh, juicy and cooked to perfection. If I had to nitpick, I’d ask for more seasoning in the burger; If I HAD to. Fries were fantastic.
The Georgia dog, wrapped in bacon and topped with some kind of magic bourbon BBQ sauce was tasty too. That sauce, man. Damn.
And if you think Shepards Pie is for wimps, you’re wrong. Twas the bomb. All set up in a tall white bowl, hot from the over and topped with some Yukon golds. Winning all around.
We topped it off by splitting the caramel bread pudding which was moist and not too dense. Another home run there, what can I say?
And let’s talk about our epic waitress who was the perfect combination of friendly, genuine, bubbly and helpful, with lots of good suggestions and basically could have made for a positive review even if the food sucked (it didn’t!)
This place makes me excited to come home to visit. And the prices are awesome compared to what I’m used to paying in Providence for similar things! I expect to eat here every time I’m in town! :)

Blueprint is great. As a current Boston resident (who grew up in Westminster) I’m thrilled that the small town I grew up in is stepping up their restaurant game.
If anyone has ever actually eaten outside of central mass they would appreciate the ambiance and menu options of Blueprint. The mushroom lovers flatbread was light and flavorful. Perfect for a little appetizer before dinner. The screen door cocktail was refreshing and made with my favorite vodka. Titos.
I got the scallops served over risotto and again,. Very light. No heavy butter or cream but still so much flavor. The portion was just enough to fill me up with no left overs.
This place is definitely not for the old folks who want meatloaf and potatoes. As the menu says this is a NEW American bar and grille so expect something a little different than the former Bistro or The Old Mill. My dad who is a long time Mcnally’s lover says this place is «wicked pissa» I can’t wait to come back on my next trip home.

We had heard a lot of hype and had been meaning to check this place out for a while. We finally made it in for lunch today. It was a Sunday afternoon in the middle of a Pats game. We were pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t packed. We were seated at a high top table in the bar area, facing the TVs, which was great for watching the game! Our server was very upbeat and welcoming. She made us feel comfortable right away and was more than happy to explain the menu and to offer suggestions.
I ordered a Bloody Mary with regular vodka instead of the cucumber vodka that is listed in the menu description, because a friend had suggested making that substitution after a recent visit. She asked if I knew about the «make your own Bloody Mary bar» (I did, but I wasn’t up for the challenge). She ordered me one from the bar. It came tall, cold and perfectly spiced, with 2 blue cheese stuffed olives & a crunchy stalk of celery. Delish.
We shared a fig, prosciutto and Gorgonzola pizza to start. It was crunchy, creamy and just the perfect mix of salty prosciutto, bitter Gorgonzola and sweet fig jam. I had the crab cake appetizer as my entrée. It was the perfect size for lunch, atop a bed of fresh greens. My boyfriend had the fish tacos, and said they may have been among the best he’s ever had. I had to steal a bite. The fish was very fresh and the batter crunchy. The salsa was smoky, spicy and sweet at the same time.
Bonus points for having BBC Steel Rail on tap.
We’d be back again soon even if we didn’t live right down the street!
