Someone posted an article about Good Thymes Family Restaurant in Lowell on FB, and their menu looked somewhat interesting. They do attract an older crowd and are also known for their pies.
They occupy the whole building and have on-street parking and also a lot behind the building. They are located a good way from Lowell center. They are in the same area as the Target you can see from the connector.
The inside is nice and bright and really well kept. There is a bar all the way in the back.
You get some very soft bread, with some rock hard butter, so that didn't work out too well. Rolled up silverware, but at least it was very loosely rolled, so the napkin was actually usable.
I had my eye set on a couple dishes, but the had Lamb Shank ($16.99) on the specials menu. You have the choice of two sides. The sides are not listed anywhere, and neither are the specials. Instead of having the waitress recite all the specials and all the sides, print them out so I can see the prices. I was asked if I wanted gravy with my mashed potatoes and I assumed it would be the gravy from the lamb shank, but it was some thick brown gravy that tasted alright. The mashed were made from real potatoes, but it wasn't a whole lot of it. Most of the vegetable was either frozen or canned so slaw it was. It was soupy and had just a few strands of carrot. The onion rings seemed to be very popular. The lamb shank was excellent, super tender and well seasoned, and actually tasted of lamb. The tomatish gravy was OK. The service was pleasant.
Afterward, they bring around the tempter.
They are known for their pies, so I had a slice of Triple Chocolate Pecan Pie ($5.99). The filling was excellent, but the crust was rock hard. Stabbing it with a fork didn't work. I mentioned this to the waitress, and they promptly removed it from my bill. They close at 8 PM except on Saturdays when they close at 9 PM.
