50 Best American Restaurants near Bolton

“This is an experience that can't be beat. Both the luncheon and surroundings are top drawer given what we encountered at our recent visit. Outstanding food and service in every way imaginable. This is a destination that should be on everyone's list. Hint: If Jaegerschnitzel is on the menu, order it... Best of its kind. (The Creme Brule Cheese Cake and Citrus Olive Oil Cake - if you can tolerate the caloric load - are beyond worthy... oh, my!)“

“Went to Nan’s Kitchen in Southborough for the first time yesterday! So glad I did. Got a grilled chicken wrap with avocado and it was amazing!! The wrap was huge and so reasonably priced.

“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“

“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“

“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)!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“My wife and I are regulars at Kennedy's Pub, and we usually sit at the bar. Bartender Billy is as nice a guy as you can find, and he also makes a great martini. The food is consistently excellent, and their prime rib special as well as their clam chowder are the best in the world, and that is not an exaggeration. The atmosphere is cozy and down-to-earth. We feel very fortunate to live so close to such a wonderful neighborhood restaurant!“

“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! ❤️“

“Love this restaurant! Great food and good atmosphere. You won’t be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“The best breakfast & food service in town, and possibly anywhere around by a long shot. They truly go above and beyond to make everyone’s experience exceptional.

I’ve driven cross country 9 times and have eaten at countless breakfast spots locally and all over the country, and this is still my favorite place anywhere. I honestly feel so lucky that a place this good is right here in my own town.

The food is consistently incredible, the portions are generous, everything is fresh and cooked exactly how it should be, and there’s clearly a lot of care that goes into what they serve. Their sauces are absolutely to die for, you will want to put them on everything.

The service is what really sets them apart. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and taken care of, and that kind of genuine effort is getting harder and harder to find.

I’ve tried a LOT of breakfast places over the years, including some that are highly recommended and well-known, and I still find myself comparing them to this place. Somehow, this little local spot continues to win.

If you’re anywhere nearby, go here. If you live in town and haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out.

This isn’t one of those reviews where I’m trying to convince myself that a place is great because it’s local. I’ve had the opportunity to eat all over the country, and this is genuinely my favorite.

10/10, every time.“

“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.“

“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 !!!!“

“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 😎👍“

“I personally think this place is awesome, especially when it comes to the service alone. I didn’t quite get to experience it as a regular diner, but rather as an event vendor, since I was there capturing a wedding.

The ladies working the event space upstairs, who I believe go by Alisha and Janice (and please forgive me if I got their names wrong!), were absolutely unreal. They were so kind, attentive, and genuinely nice—which is something I honestly don’t encounter too often as a vendor.

They weren’t just friendly and helpful to the guests; they were that way with me as well. They made me feel welcomed, appreciated, and taken care of throughout the event, and that really stood out to me. Great service can make such a difference, and these ladies were a huge part of what made my experience there so positive.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time checking this place out for a stop while we were shopping and it was a great gem! Great flavorful food, good pricing, and such a great environment. Debbie who waited on us was so personable and fun, and the place was so welcoming! Went with hubby and daughter, we all felt the same way. We will definitely be back! highly recommend.“

“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.“

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

“Had my step daughter’s bday today ! Will be there every year for now on long as Danny Gomes is the manager. Dude made our day sooo much easier & really made it feel special for us !“

“That tres leches is so yummy!!!! Who ever put that together deserves a standing ovation because let me say WOW!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am definitely going back and I’m bringing all my friends & family to share this deliciousness with. The service is great too. Super kind & patient.“

“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.“

“This is a really good restaurant that’s located inside of the movie theater, but it’s not movie theater food. We had great burgers and the fries were perfect! The owner was also really nice and the service was great. Recommend trying it out“

“The Wagyu Guinness burger was very good! we were also asked several times how we like to the food and how it was prepared. we have zero complaints and we will be dining here again!“

“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!❤️❤️❤️“
