Hemlock Grill

You'll want to head to Brookline's public golf course for lunch, whether or not you've ever golfed in your life. The clubhouse, known as Hemock Grill, is open to the public daily, and year-round, with a menu overseen by chef Alex Saenz, who helms Taqueria el Barrio at Time Out Market and has graced several fine-dining kitchens in Boston. The chef's famous Southern fried chicken lives on at Hemlock Grill, along with sandwiches such as a Cubano, turkey club, grilled chicken with Peruvian green sauce and more. There are also salads, hot dogs, homemade chips and breakfast sandwiches served all day. Soft drinks enhance a wine and packaged beer lineup that impresses with selections like cans from Trillium Brewing Co. Check out the wintertime-seasonal Fireside Dinners, with pay-as-you-wish pricing; and in warmer months, take lunch out on the scenic patio overlooking the green.
