If you want good, cheap food and local atmosphere, look no farther than McGillicuddy's. Great specials (like two for one appetizers or 1/2 price burgers) almost every night and it's the only place in town that serves Guinness.

Best Mexican restaurant in town, hands down. Second floor restaurant, so look for the sidewalk sign or you might go right by it.
