The name, Menotomy, pays homage to the Menotomy Indians and the Menotomy Village originally
Settled in 1635. The village was incorporated as the town of Arlington in 1867 following the civil
war as a tribute to Arlington National Cemetery.

Our vision for Menotomy Grill & Tavern is to bring the tavern concept back to the town of Arlington by creating a rustic grill capitalizing on the coziness of a brick house featuring fireplace, open kitchen,
exposed beams, large planked hard wood floors, and historical artifacts and photos. Fostering a
loyal following will be the key to our success, so we welcome you to join us on Facebook for news, special offers and exciting events.

The wait-person remembered me from my previous visit of last August. Varied menu with many great options, from small bites to full meals. Highly recommend.

Not a hint of alcohol in either of them. I tried my daughters and I couldn’t find any taste of bourbon, it was basically iced coffee. Luckily I had ordered a beer. The server was good but the food is very mid.

We gathered at the bar to meet with a larger group coming in for drinks as well. The staff was great as always.

My BBQ St Louis ribs, while not hickory pit smoked, still were very delicious. My partner had a salad augmented with a delightfully large chunk of excellent salmon. Partner is more of a beer aficionado than I am, and enjoyed the draft hazy IPA quite a lot. The only downside? It has been discovered, and the Friday night crowd was a bit noisier than we like (but still much less than most other popular places).
