Big Papi's Grille is a Framingham restaurant named for Red Sox slugger David Ortiz in which he is a financial partner. "Big Papi the slugger is a beaming, charismatic individual on and off the field. Big Papi the restaurant is generic - a midrange steakhouse in Applebee's style architecture, a bead in a chain of similar establishments on Route 9. With a few tweaks, it could just as easily be Lenny Clarke's Grille or Joey McIntyre's Grille," writes Globe restaurant critic Devra First (read the full review).
