Family-Run Since 1956, This Mendon Steakhouse With A Fireplace Keeps Massachusetts Steak Lovers Coming Back For Prime Rib
Some restaurants chase trends every few years. Others pick a lane in the 1950s and simply stay in it, one plate of prime rib at a time. In the small town of Mendon, Massachusetts, there is a steakhouse that has been run by the same family since 1956, and people still drive long distances just to sit down at its tables. The portions are big enough to turn dinner into tomorrow’s lunch, the bread basket has a loyal following of its own, and a fireplace adds old-school character to the dining room.

Bronzetti's ends Columbus Club venture to refocus on Eagles location
One of the biggest challenges of owning and operating a restaurant is keeping it clean and rodent-free, especially in an older building. This is the top priority of Bubba Bronzetti, owner of Bronzetti's Pizza & Kitchen after a recent routine health inspection at the restaurant's location at South Framingham Fraternal Order of Eagles lodge , 55 Park St, found 10 violations, including rodent droppings and a mouse sighting. All of the violations have been corrected and Bronzetti did not have to shut down, but soon after, he announced the termination of his restaurant's brief partnership with The Columbus Club, where he was operating a catering business. Bronzetti said the two developments are not directly related. The inspection occurred at the Eagles, not the Columbus Club. But he acknowledged that trying to operate at two locations stretched him thin and diverted his attention from the restaurant at the Eagles, where Bronzetti’s has operated for about four years. "I think the Columbus took my focus away from the Eagles, where it began to kind of slip a little bit," Bronzetti said. Bronzetti and fiancée Melissa Hanna had concentrated on building the Columbus Club operation while employees managed the Eagles restaurant. More: USA

New management at New England's only Lee's Sandwiches location
The Lee’s Sandwiches location at 68 Stafford St., Worcester, recently transitioned to new management just ahead of the busy holiday rush. Located in the Webster Square Plaza, the business is part of a growing number of casual eateries anchoring the area. The corporate-owned/operated store has introduced a new leadership team, led by acting manager Daniel Fuentes of Southbridge. Tracey Pham of Worcester and siblings were franchise owners who opened the quick-service restaurant at Webster Square Plaza in August 2025. Family members have stepped away to focus on their individual career ventures. Lee’s Sandwiches is a West Coast family-owned Vietnamese-American fast-casual chain famous for its banhi mi Vietnamese-style sandwiches. The Worcester store is currently the company’s only New England location. Fans of the signature sandwiches, house-made baquettes, croissants, all-day breakfast sandwiches, signature Lee’s iced coffees, appetizers, pastries, etc., can rest easy as Fuentes confirms they will remain. Customers also stand to benefit from a few price drops. A new express counter includes pre-packaged treats and to-go items like canned condensed milk. “It’s all about saving our customers time and fitting their needs,” said Fuentes. “Convenience.” The Vietnamese ice-coffee menu here is extremely popular, according to Fuentes.
