The Cherry Tree

Three & a half skewing positive...I came to this townie bar with a Newton bred friend on a Monday night during a Bruins playoff game and the atmosphere and crowd instantly had this Long Island native feeling nostalgia for the townie bars I grew up frequenting and having the requisite love hate relationship with.  That wouldn't necessarily be enough to recommend it much, but fortunately I sampled the wings, which were very good, considerably above average.  I tried the house special "Cherry Tree Variety" which was a creamier variation of the traditional buffalo style and quite delicious. I thought this sauce to be very unique but oddly enough the next day in Somerville at the Boston Burger Company I ordered a grilled buffalo chicken sandwich which was topped with a remarkably similar sauce, suggesting this might be a somewhat common regional variation.  Whatever the case may be it would be a very good one.   Beyond the good sauce the wings were perfectly crisp, which is key in judging wings in my opinion.  Most all of the tables were ordering the "boneless wing" variations but I don't usually roll like that, I guess I am a wing traditionalist.   This place is certainly a solid choice if you find yourself in town and want some excellent wings and legit local flavor.

Fine place to have a beer but the food was bad. The worst part the experience was the waitress - she was curt and really unhelpful. Won't be going back there ever again.

This is for the grilled chicken sandwich and the Cuban sandwich.

Both are awesome!  The chicken is tender and juicy with a great grilled flavor.
The grilled pork on the cuban is the same - tender and juicy.

Friendly, neighborhood atmosphere.
