Every week, local Patch editors will train the spotlight on a top-flight town restaurant or one that is right nearby.

Here's this week's choice:

, 39 Main St., Waltham.

Greatest Dish Ever: The Warrendale burger, named after the restaurant's neighborhood: Muenster cheese, sautéed onions and mushrooms. 

Don't Miss: The gigantic nachos appetizer, served with all the trimmings. And, by all means, check out the extensive drink menu and selection of beers on tap.

The Vibe: Sporty, kid-friendly.

Cool Factor: The restaurant has specials almost every night, from kids' night to live entertainment to pub trivia.
