McGoverns Family Restaurant

Been going there for years and the past 2x in last month, the food quality and portions were aweful. The baked stuffed Sole was very watery and not fresh at all. Mashed potatoes cold and the service was just as bad. So sad cause this by far had the best food around.

This restaurant never disappoints, The chicken cuts with a fork and whatever they put in these potatoes is addictive. Cannot say enough!

Very good waitress. Food was also very good. Thank you

Not even sure where to begin since I typically don’t write reviews, I’ll start with the fact that yes their prices are really reasonable(for this function), I can give them that. Due to the pandemic which I understand how certain places might feel about it, etc. My experience was as follows. I was scheduled to have a baby shower on Sunday, 10/25 and was going to have about 60 people, socially distanced by tables, etc. Fall River was in a red zone on Wednesday and the restaurant notified me Thursday morning so which meant & they told me I had to decrease my party to 25 people, I was somewhat ok with it. A suggestion to them was to have 2 groups of 25 people each at different time intervals. The restaurant said that wouldn’t be a bad idea and that we would discuss times on Friday morning. Friday morning comes around, we confirmed times, etc. Not even 2 minutes later (yes 2 mins) AFTER confirming times I get a call saying they can’t do my party for many different reasons/excuses that just didn’t make sense to me, but hey does it need to? The banquet cook was sick with pancreatitis but was tested negative for Covid and they were short staffed and didn’t have anyone else to make the food. I asked about any other cooks or catering service or simply ordering from another restaurant. Nope, they couldn’t accommodate because the restaurant was going to be closed until Tuesday anyway due to all of this and the restaurant cook doesn’t know how to cook banquet style food. So of course I go ahead and do what I have to do and figure out another plan, no big deal just last minute. Do you know they called me Saturday early afternoon (day before my shower) to tell me they can now do my party?! Yeah that’s pretty “ballsy” McGovern’s. Thanks but NO thanks.

Been going for years great staff and delicious food
