Rolly's Tavern on the Square

Very disappointing!   Second time; and won't be returning.   Arrived last Saturday night.   After waiting 5+ minutes at the hostess desk; we gave up and seated ourselves.   Waited an additional 10 minutes for the waitress to come over.   Unfortunately, for us, she was too busy eating her dinner at the end of the bar.   Now, it's been 20 minutes; and seats became available at the bar.   The bartender was wonderful, when we explained how we were ignored for the last 20 minutes; he more than made up for it.   How can management allow their waitstaff to eat dinner at the bar and ignore their patrons??

If I could give this place a negative star I would.  Greeter not friendly.  They sat me down said someone would be with me, I sat there for about 7 mins as waiters and waitress walked by me.  They were not busy so there was no reason for the lack of service.  I would not recommend this place to anyone!!!  I went a block down to Rockafellas where I had a great meal and amazing service!!!!

wife & i looking for a cold beer & nice burger in low-key friendly place one early midweek eve and despite generally being Swampscott snobs and avoiding most things Lynn (excepting Blue Ox, Mildred's and Capitol Diner) we decided to try something in Wyoma Square, which turned out to be Rolly's after wife turned down Lazy Dog due to outward appearances - also a bit curious after very positive fairly recent Boston Globe review

struggled to find street parking amid gloom and muddy snow banks then hiked awhile past decidely low rent storefronts but still pretty convenient location in West Lynn and appears to be parking behind "business block" - hesitant still on sidewalk as Rolly's presents clean and care for but well not so ... exciting

so how pleasing to step in to lively well lighted cutely decorated well organized and professionally managed family dining heaven with bar scene bright TVs Keno cards on high tops alongside warm little votive candles - and they were busssy!  must have been Wednesday dinner for 2 special including bottle of wine for what $25?  sweet young energetic server Colby treated us like neighbors talking up her favorites and especially Tacos on Tuesday - we'd been seated right away despite capacity crowd, and Colby remained attentive and pleasant but never hurrying or obtrusive all night long - my 2 Tuckermans Ales served from hyped up glycol cooled tap (as if i could tell any difference) while wife immensely enjoyed draft Blue Moon with big slice of orange - big fresh burgers came cooked to order after very little wait, frozen fries - hers sweet potato - served hot & crispy - accompaniments dressings pickles all fresh & tasty

and all this, experience service ambiance 3 beers and good quality burgers for ... $36.85??  hello!  after years raising noses passing through the Square and avoiding Rolly's and the like, move over, we're moving in!  thank you all at the tavern for a very fine evening!
