Axel & Byrne is the newest restaurant concept in the greater Boston, MA area featuring "Food from the road!" The quick-serve restaurant highlights the best of roadside diners, BBQ Pits and food stalls from across the country and is located at Patriot Place in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Axel & Byrne is a family-inspired casual counter service restaurant serving up 'food from the road.' This modern American joint will be featuring dishes from roadside diners, BBQ pits and food stalls from across the United States and is the perfect place for foodies, game day tailgaters, neighborhood gatherings, special events, catering and will also include whole pig roasts available for pick up!
As a traveling salesman, Axel Olson ate his way through the United States, bringing back stories of diners, roadside BBQ joints, and business dinners that led to late night conversations with his wife, Madeleine Byrne, who was already taking classes as one of the first women to be admitted to the Le Cordon Bleu cooking school in New York . The menu at Axel & Byrne is the culmination of these travels and generations of handed-down recipes, made possible today with honest ingredients, a playful culinary approach and bold flavors from across the United States. Dine-in, takeout, delivery and experiential catering will all be available.
"If Salt + Stone was an homage to my wife and I breaking away from corporate restaurant brands and doing our own thing based on years of us working for others, Axel & Byrne is a continuation of that journey honoring our grandparents and their love of food," said Sean Olson, Co-Owner of Salt + Stone and Axel & Byrne.
Axel & Byrne is located at 267 patriot place in Foxborough, Mass. at patriot place , adjacent to Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots and New England Revolution . Axel & Byrne will be a casual counter service location honoring the eateries in which it derives its concept and will include a full bar. Guests will order from their "Fresh, Cured, Grilled, Barbecue" offerings and griddles, grills, fryers and smokers will yield some of the best and most playful dishes from around the country including items such as: Frito Pie (Santa Fe, NM), Beef on Weck (Buffalo, NY), Coney Dog (Detroit, MI) Pulled Pork (Jefferson City, MO), Grilled Corn Salad (Baja, CA), Smoked Brisket (Austin, TX), signature burgers and daily specials and on the lighter side, salads, bowls and fresh sides served ala' carte or in tray formats. Axel & Byrne's bar program will include canned and on tap local, regional and national beers, as well as fun frozen rum and bourbon forward cocktails on tap, wines and mixed drinks.
Another important facet of Axel & Byrne stems from the Olsons' love of experiential dining and their extensive background in catering. The restaurant will be preparing whole hog tailgate experiences for gamedays as well as offsite lunches and dinner . "Imagine tailgating at Gillette Stadium with your family and friends and feasting on a whole roasted pig with more sides and sauces than you know what to do with. Beyond being delicious, this will be a true visual event and part of the fun that will be Axel & Byrne," said Sue Olson, Co-Owner of Salt + Stone and Axel & Byrne.
"We're thrilled to announce Axel & Byrne as our newest Patriot Place dining destination and can't wait to share their sweet and savory food from across the country with our guests," said Brian Earley, Vice President and General Manager of Patriot Place. "With their combination of honest ingredients, time-tested techniques and bold flavors from across the country, Axel & Byrne promises to be a delicious addition to Patriot Place and we look forward to working with them and their team."
The 2,056 square-foot restaurant aesthetic is being brought to life by noted restaurant designer kyla coburn and will boast a 65-seat vibrant atmosphere with floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed brick, tile and reclaimed wood paired with framed historical photos and recipes of the Axel & Byrne journey. The restaurant will also have a 15-seat patio for outdoor dining.
