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.

    Always a pleasurable experience at Menotomy. The Big Mac flatbread special was amazing, and brownie sundae was the perfect nightcap. Great vibes and incredible service

    Menotomy always pleases. Server Nick was exceptionally attentive, as were the hostesses. 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).

    I had my birthday brunch/lunch here, and it was great! The food was delicious (eggs benedict!), and most importantly, our server (Alex) was amazing! She was just wonderful. She is the BEST!

    Really solid food in a welcoming and casual atmosphere. Special shout out to the wait staff who are very friendly, cheerful and quite patient with members of a party who are indecisive, slow or otherwise challenging;)
