Big Papi’s Grille will open in Framingham tomorrow, according to a restaurant source. The restaurant, partially owned by David Ortiz, bills itself as an upscale grill, which in practice, means Kobe burgers and meatloaf and steaks topped with everything from lobster tails to a blue cheese crust. In tribute to Ortiz, there’s a Central American flavor to the menu, with items like sirloin empanadas, and an intriguing Dominican chimichurri burger. Check out the full menu below.
