Galliford's Tavern - Mendon

This place was an amazing break from the heat and crowds of the Southwick Zoo. The food and service were quality. Access: You can access the restaurant from the zoo (with a re reentry stamp) or without visiting the zoo through the main entrance. Entering from the zoo there are both stair and elevator options. We were even able to exit out the front put our leftovers in the car then re enter the zoo through the restaurant. Which was amazing because we did not have to carry our leftovers with us. Parking: There is a lot in front of the restaurant and another large lot adjacent from the restaurant/zoo. The only reason I gave the atmosphere a 4 was due to large amount of families with tired small children, as to be expected from its proximity to the zoo on a hot summer day. Staff: The staff were very friendly and our server (also the bartender) was attentive and chatty. He did forget to bring a refill of water but it wasn't the end of the world. He was working an entire section and the bar himself on a decently crowded mid day. Overall great service. Food and Drink: They had a fun selection of cocktails and food. I can recommend the frozen daquiri on a hot day! I can highly recommend both the Mac and Cheese entree (it had a fun Mexican flavor to it). By far the best mac n cheese I've had in a long time, cheesy with real cheese, not soupy or dry. We also got a buffalo chicken pizza and it was very good. Price: Very reasonable for the food quality, portions and proximity to the zoo! We would definitely eat here again if we were in the area! Dietary restrictions: They have Gluten Free Options noted on the menu Kid friendliness: Kid's Menu Available Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible from zoo with elevator or front door.

Our bartender was great. She was very busy but did a great job! We had the Mediterranean app which was good the fish tacos and burger as well. Our LO had the kids pizza which was ok but the drinks and service were great!

Really great atmosphere, beautiful restaurant and absolutely delicious food. 3 people in my group had the Pork Mac n Cheese and everyone loved it. The Poutine is delicious as well as all of the desserts.

My family visited the zoo and stopped in Galliford for lunch. Here are three pictures of our meal: a fish sandwich, a chicken special sandwich with truffle fries, and a fried chicken sandwich. The food was delicious, though a bit pricey, with portions that matched the cost.

Yo bro, I went there with my fam. The food is nice . I loved my pizza with Alfredo sauce and grilled chicken. My fam also loved it
