Box Seats

We loved the Box Seat in Smithfield so we tried the one in North Attleboro tonight. What a sad disappointment. Can I say thank god for the 15% check-in coupon. It made the night a bit less sour.

Food was okay. Between a plate of fries with whole belly clams (see what I did there?) And a steak tips n chicken combo ( 1,50$ for a sorry excuse as a salad which isn't considered a side so they can stick the extra fee)

I was disappointed, food was okay, atmosphere was eh, ac was on too cold, service was alright but I didn't feel the love. Doubtful we will return.

Somehow I keep coming back here and each time I'm not entirely sure why.  Thee food is ok, the atmosphere is ok (though for a sports bar it's not terribly 'sporty'), and the service is perfectly acceptable.  But when all is said and done nothing stands out and I leave feeling like I could have had a better dining experience just across the street at Quan's, or Red Stone, or pretty much anywhere in town.

Sports bars should, in my opinion, feel like sports bars. Box seats feels more like a TGI Friday's knock off with more TVs and extra sports memorabilia on the walls.Only the food isn't quite as good.

Prices are reasonable, and as I said the food and service are ok. I just can't get excited about any of it. Except for the occasions when I stumbled upon Karaoke night. Then it was entertaining.

My wife and I stopped in here tor a quick bite last night .  With the fiinal four and the Bruins playing we looked and were able to get a seat at the bar.  We ordered a couple of beers and looked over the menu.  During this time we had to listen to the bartender, Helen's less than friendly customer and co- worker interaction.  We were surprised at how she spoke to the servers coming to get their drinks for their customers and also how she  spoke with some of the people at the bar.  It definetly seemed like she didn't want to be there. Rather than ordering a full meal, we decided to go with just an order of the Grand Slam Nachos.  They boasted that they were covered with their "Award Winning Chili".
When they came out from the kitchen the presentation wasn't bad. It was a good sized portion that incorporated tri-color chips, cheese, lettuce,tomato and their chili.  The taste of these were terrible.  The award winning chili seemed to be nothing more than canned chili with beans added to it.  This chili itself was flavorless.  We picked at the dish for a little bit but couldn't eat them.  We also noticed a couple at the other end of the bar seemed to have the same reaction and barely touched theirs as well.

This place might work for locals to go in for a drink and watch a game as long as this bartender isn't on.  
Stay away from the nachos.... If you want good nachos head north on Rte. 1 for about a mile and hit the Mexican place.

Leave us in the grandstands..... We will not be returning to Box Seats.
