The Wild and Woolly Eagle Brook Saloon, Norfolk, MA

A group of us went to the Eagle Brook Saloon in Norfolk, MA the other day, and let me tell you, it's one unusual restaurant. Tucked away in the woods of Norfolk, about 45 minutes southwest of Boston, the Eagle Brook Saloon looks like a watering hole you might find in the backwoods of Montana. It has a big, wooden front porch, a second floor with private rooms and old wooden railings that you can lean over and see the first floor far below. And it has a local following, many of whom can get a bit on the rowdy side. In other words, I love this place; there is no restaurant in the Boston area that is quite like the Eagle Brook Saloon.

I have been to the Eagle Brook Saloon many times, and am often happy with the quality of the food. If you are looking for gourmet meals and bistro cuisine, look elsewhere; this is a place where you get steak, chops, chicken, or any number of other classic American entrees. My shepherd's pie was very good, and the microbrewed beers were outstanding. Everyone else liked their meals, and when the final bill came out, we were happy with that, too, as prices at the Eagle Brook are reasonable.

As I said, the Eagle Brook Saloon is not for everyone, but if you like an old-fashioned, down-home, unpretentious restaurant, the Eagle Brook Saloon in Norfolk is worth checking out.

For those who want the address of the Eagle Brook Saloon, here it is: Eagle Brook Saloon, 258 Dedham Street (Route 1A), Norfolk, MA 02056; the phone number is (508) 384-7312
