50 Best American Restaurants near Bolton

“Another excellent dinner and amazing glass of peach wine. I had leek soup, pistachio coated salmon, and chocolate mouse dessert. My husband had short ribs and cheese cake desert. Wonderful server! Highly recommended ( but you need reservations).“

“The Oak and Orchard in Bolton was a lovely restaurant. My family had a birthday party for me there last weekend. The place was lovely, the service was excellent and the meal was delicious. I highly recommend the Oak. and Orchard for a terrific dining experience!“

“Cravable food, awesome beer selection, super cool staff, great vibe.“

“I want to give a shout out to Kennedy’s! I had my daughters 16th birthday dinner in the greenhouse! It was fantastic. The area that they transform into a winter wonderland is just amazing. Excellent food, service and atmosphere! It was truly memorable for my daughter!“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

“The other night I several of my dance students went to Welly's. Everyone order different dishes, all were exceptional. Drinks were great. And our waiter was right on the ball, took good care of us. One of the best restaurants around. Outside sitting if you choose. Parking garage close by.“

“Best breakfast around !!! Great service and awesome food !“

“We were traveling through on our way to Maine and stopped for lunch. The food was fantastic!!! The staff were very friendly! The cook gave us extra fish to share with our husband's. One of the owners came over and visited with us! I would highly recommend this establishment to eat at! 4 very satisfied customers! Best meal I have had in a very long time!! A very satisfied customer from Iowa“

“Dined here last evening. Wow! From the moment you walk in you feel the warmth of the atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant. Subtle music, warm welcome and lovely decor. The staff is helpful and friendly. The presentation on the dishes is beautiful. I hope that more people discover this gem in Northborough. As a business professional, this would be my go-to place to bring clients and business associates. The owners are hands on and it shows.“

“I’m a regular at Southborough location. I will remain a customer, but will say that the quality assurance in the kitchen is slipping. My last 3 orders were fouled up in some way.“

“We love seeing small, locally run restaurants like Wemmy’s raise the bar while still keeping things warm and personal. It’s clear their team puts intention into both the food and the experience.“

“David and Diana are fantastic addition to Stevie's Café & Catering - Littleton, MA ! The food is made fresh to order. They are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies. The food comes out fast and fresh.“

“Arugula salad is the best ever! Shrimp cocktail is excellent. The Lobster Guacamole, Spicy shrimp & hummus apps also excellent. Best entrees- Short Rib, Half roasted Chicken, Fish Tacos & their burgers delish. Best desserts: bread pudding - unreal!! & their salted caramel mousse and fresh whipped cream in the mason jar- ( tip may need a cig afterwards)!“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“Held my daughter’s first birthday here! Stephanie, Devan, and their team — from the waitstaff to the servers, bartender, and kitchen — were fabulous! Stephanie was such a pleasure to work with through the whole process. The food was AMAZING! So many people told me how good everything was. Highly recommend!“

“Love the local musicians every Friday night! SUPPORT LOCAL!“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“Great service and food was on point especially the home fries“

“Very friendly and welcoming staff! Nachos are fantastic ... and had great recommendations for beers to try.“

“beautiful hiking trails, museums. super knowledgeable folks and incredible views!“

“Family friendly food in a family friendly atmosphere, a welcome addition to Boxborough’s otherwise nonexistent dining options. If you’re looking for a brewery, go to Dirigible. If you want better food, go to Oscar’s. But if you want somewhere you can enjoy a beer outside while your kids play games (corn hole, ping pong, shuffle board) with decent vegetarian options, then you’ve come to the right place.“

“Came to pit stop tavern with my friend and his son it was my first time coming here and our server Mariah’s customer service was amazing including her suggestion for chicken bacon and ranch pizza with a nice cold bud light from a fresh new keg that was just put in Would Definitely recommend this place and enjoy and if Mariah working request for her as your server“

“Great Beer, Great Food and most importantly, GREAT STAFF! The front of the house staff has been there forever, and from a customer point of view, that means the staff gets treated well! Live Music on Fridays and Saturdays ! Don’t pay attention to the review from Patricia, live music is fun! Not annoying..it’s a pub after all

One of the first restaurants in Hudson and is still in business after 45 years which is incredible these days! Bar staff is great! Always treat us well when we come in :)

Great work ‘shoe crew! Keep it up!“

“Very nice.. Great selection for breakfast. Fresh fruit to cooking anything you want. Nice for people that don't like a buffet style breakfast. Very clean and service was great. Something's I can't not eat and there was no problem finding something because they have so much to choose from.
Just great all the way around !!!!“

“Great staff and the food snd drinks are amazing and delicious!!!“

“Occasionally we catch up with dear friends at the Berlin, MA location. Hospitality and service have been exceptionally kind here on every visit. Special shout out to Becca for being so attentive on our most recent outing. Really made our day.“

“There’s always a first time, and for me, it was at this 99 Restaurant in Hudson. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Locals (and yes, I’m using the word just to mirror how Americans affectionately refer to the rest of the world’s population in their native places) probably don’t need an introduction to this chain. But for anyone unfamiliar, think of it as a Chili’s with a bit more dining space beyond the bar or an Outback without the grilled steaks.

The food is solid, with comforting options that cater to hearty appetites. I was curious about what sets 99 apart from similar chains like Applebee’s, and the answer I got was simple: “They think they’re better and charge more.” While neither is glaringly obvious, the menu does offer a few standout dishes, like the Shepherd’s Pie - a refreshing option compared to the usual burgers and fried food lineup.

Next time, I’ll try sitting at the bar - it looks like the kind of spot where this place really shines. For a casual, satisfying meal, 99 in Hudson is worth a visit.“

“Had the Cesar salad, it was pretty good (a little overdressed for my taste). The service was very slow considering we were only 2 of 4 people at the bar. Overall not a bad place if you don't feel like going out, but if you have another option, I would probably pick it.“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“Jake’s is a classic Marlborough staple with dependable coffee and delicious breakfast. With a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe. It’s perfect for a casual stop where you’re always greeted like a regular.“

“Excellent food and service. Will be back again.“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“Thank you to Bolton Street Tavern who hosted the most beautiful celebration of life. The food was delicious and John and Sharon made sure that each and every guest there was taken care of. The setting was perfect with the beautiful lake in the background. And even the downpour of rain that passed by did not bother a soul as it was all covered. Lovely spot, great food, and most of all amazing staff! If you have not been there you must check it out!❤️❤️❤️“

“I was early an hour and 20 minutes for my 12 o'clock. Appointment and I didn't have a breakfast, so I happen to spot this right around the corner, and I have to say, I've had the best onion, bagel sausage, egg and cheese, sandwich that I've had. In a long, long time and home fries were really good too. The staff was wicked friendly and I felt very comfortable in there.I would recommend it 😎👍“

“Chill Kitchen & Bar nails that balance of quality food and a relaxed, community-friendly environment. From one local business to another, we appreciate the passion and effort behind what they do.“

“One of the best breakfasts I’ve had. Not greasy and the omelet was the best I’ve had. Don’t miss out on this cafe.“

“Milford - First time in, did not love what I ordered and not only was it taken off our bill, but the manager gave us a $25 gift card to come back…that’s excellent customer service which impressed us. Flatbread was excellent, waitress was very kind and attentive and lots of local teens working which was really nice to see. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“We live near by and friends have been telling us to go here for pizza. We finally stopped in for dinner and we were glad we did. The waitress was so friendly. Her reccomendations were spot on. My husband's martini was perfect. Really enjoyed the patty melt and the pizza was the best we have had in a long time. We will definetly be back!“

“We come here often and appreciate having such a great restaurant nearby. The extended hours also make it very convenient. It's definitely steps above most places in the area and VERY consistently reliable. Extensive menu and a nice wine list. Wonderful oysters. Great salads. Nice pizzas. Last night our table had lobster ravioli, roasted chicken, baked haddock, wedge salad, and a pizza. Everyone really enjoyed the food. Highly recommend this gem!“

“Best subs sandwiches Salads soups around. Would recommend to anyone Sam is one of the nicest person I have ever met. Takes the time to make sure your needs are met“

“They have excellent cheeseburgers.“

“Favorite restaurant. Treat yourself to Christmas at the Wayside, or any occasion for that matter. Food is excellently prepared, waitstaff is attentive and you just can't beat the atmosphere of a large Colonial fireplace and really old hardwood floors! Highly recommend the Indian Pudding. Delightful.“

“If you aren’t going for breakfast/ brunch here on the weekends, you’re doing yourself a disservice. I will make it a priority every time I’m within a hour of the Hudson area. Small and quaint, you can feel the love when you walk in. Everyone was super nice. Value for price is outstanding. Everything I watched come out of the open kitchen looked mouth watering. I had the #27 rancheros with steak/ beef with well seasoned and perfectly cooked home fries with peppers and onions. I also got a side of their fried plantains. Also absolutely delicious, I’d give it 10 stars if I could !“

“Delicious food, great people!“

“Nice friendly staff and the best pancakes I’ve had !“
