After trying 605 Smash, I knew I had to check out Restaurant 605. The ambiance was exactly what you'd want in a cozy, pub-style spot—inviting, laid-back, and full of character. The waitress who helped us was super sweet, kind, and patient. We started with the Italian Garbage Bread, and wow—it was so delicious! Perfectly seasoned, cheesy, and crispy. All of my friends loved it. For my main, I went with the Double Don Marco Bacon Bleu 605 Signature Cheeseburger, loaded with Applewood bacon, bleu cheese, balsamic onion jam, garlic aioli, and mixed greens. It was incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly balanced. The double patty was just the right size—thick and satisfying without being overwhelming. One of my friends ordered the triple and quickly regretted not sticking with the double, but hey, if you think you can handle it, go for it! My friends who ordered the Grilled Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Cheddar Bacon Smokehouse, and Chicken Parm Sandwich were all thrilled with their meals. The fries? Also on point. I’d definitely visit Restaurant 605 again—great food, great service, and a laidback atmosphere that makes you want to come back for more!

Came at 1pm all the way from concord New Hampshire. The 33 was probably one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. Definitely will make the 3 hour drive again.

A friend and I grabbed some apps to share for dinner. Good serving size. Very good flavor. Chef was willing to sub out some ingredients. Service was good! Nice and clean environment. Music was a little loud... but all good. Update- visit again yesterday with my kids. They're not super picky but they're kids... it can be hit or miss. They loved it! Especially the General Tso's chicken.

The bartender told my friend with a Gluten Allergy that if she ordered the turkey burger plain, he couldn't guarantee it would come that way. For an $18 meal, that is ludicrous. She then ordered queso with tortilla, for the side with her new choice. Not until we received it. Did we realize, they are flour tortillas. Which the server knew she couldn't order. Restaurants are part of the service industry and taking care of the customers should be paramount. Do better! Show some care!

Everything was great! We ordered appetizers that were excellent and my French Dip was the best I have had. Others had the smash burgers and both said , “It was the best burger they ever had!” We will definitely be back! Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed!

Outstanding food (yes, everything!) The baked wings are without a doubt some of the best wings I've ever had. Nice layout with good spacing, awesome wrap around bar, and great service from everyone there every time
