Back in Southborough less than a year later, and this time I upgraded — there’s a buffalo chicken flatbread and a bowl of popcorn in the wider shot, which strongly suggests I’d found a real bar-menu situation rather than a one-off wing plate. Still can’t tell you the name of the place. I was too busy diversifying my appetizer portfolio.
If you’re in the area anyway: same recommendation as last time, because Southborough’s charm is compact: Chestnut Hill Farm and the Beals Preserve.
Update: Probably The Halfway Cafe (Same Spot as Take One)
Almost certainly The Halfway Cafe — technically just over the line in Marlborough, not Southborough, but the coordinates match consistently across all three of these visits. Locally famous for free popcorn on every table (see: Take Two’s popcorn bowl) and a huge sauce list. Closed for good in 2021 after 20 years.
