CnD's Barbeque Grille - Unsure about what to order for dinner tonight? Just take one look at the 's Facebook page and you'll see it's chock full of happy customers who took the time to log on and write how much they loved their meal. Although the page hasn't been updated in several months, we're hoping they'll get back to posting photos of fried chicken... mmm.

Dockside Restaurant at Wakefield - Even though there is more than one Dockside Restaurant (there's another version in Malden), the Wakefield location gets its own Facebook page, and with good reason! Follow this page to get the heads up on how to get free gift certificates to the restaurant, and what events the restaurant and bar is hosting.

Favorite Facebook Pun of the Week: Goes to Wakefield Patch Facebook Fan Vanessa Howland, who, in response to this photo of Bruins cupcakes at Tootsie's Coffee Corner, said "Sweet! (no pun intended)." It's okay Vanessa, we know it was at least half-intended, and we giggled.

Favorite Twitter Moment of the Week: Goes to @TimRobb, who, after posting this photo of the long line for Bruins hats at Lids, taunted @MelrosePatch editor Dann DeMaina about buying a pink hat. Heehee.
