Our visit to Hosea's was part of a virtual geocache (geocaching.com). Our GPS led us to this location and we were pleasantly surprised to see what the restaurant had to offer. It is a wonderful tribute to Ted Williams and has an excellent collection of Williams memorabilia. There are baseball bats, trophies, pennants, and lots of pictures on the walls of this two room eating establishment. It is like a mini museum. The vast array of Williams items is the draw here, certainly not the food. It is well worth a trip to see the walls, but don't expect a gourmet meal. The restaurant is homey and the food is adequate. The luncheon meals are an excellent value for the money. Where else could you get a Fried Scallop Plate for $4.95? Dinner prices are more in keeping with market value. The dinner menu is somewhat limited but does have Italian, beef, chicken and seafood offerings. The restaurant also has a separate bar/function room that is removed from the dining area.

	242 Mattakeesett Street (Route 14), Pembroke, MA
DATE:	February, 2003
MEAL:	Lunch
BREAD:
SALAD:
APPETIZER:
ENTREE:	Greek Salad ($3.95/large) A typical salad with the usual ingredients. Not bad, but nothing to recommend it either.
	Fried Scallop Plate ($4.95) Okay. Hard to believe the price and there were plenty of scallops for a luncheon size. They were not crisp enough for Tom's taste. The French fries were very good and the Cole slaw was fine.
DESSERT:
OTHER:	Plenty of parking
	Dress is very casual
OVERALL:	B- Go here once and view the Williams memorabilia. The food is good enough to make it a worthwhile trip.
