Urban Apples Cidery makes room for group outings with a spacious setting, outdoor seating and reservable fire pits. Start with a cider flight and pub fare such as pretzels, or try the chicken and waffles diners mention at weekend brunch.
Go for a casual lunch or dinner in a warehouse-chic room, with outdoor seating and a craft-beer-and-cocktail lineup. Pork tenderloin sandwiches and meatloaf anchor the comfort-food offerings, while diner feedback is more consistently enthusiastic about the setting and service than the entrées.
Big Hoffa’s serves hefty portions of barbecue in a low-key, pirate-themed setting in Westfield. Start with ribs and pulled pork, or choose a sampler and add habanero coleslaw for heat.
