50 Best American Restaurants near Boxborough

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

“I’ve been regularly coming to this restaurant for the last 12 years or so. Brunch (not a buffet) on Sundays with friends is my favorite time. Also evening dinner with friends and my husband is always nice. Food, drinks and dessert are very good. Love the cozy Colonial atmosphere and historic aspect of the building. Staff is pleasant and helpful even when very busy. Sometimes there’s a piano player and also went for a blues night during the week in November. Such a treat!\nMy parents used to come here in the 70s, but the food is better now.“

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

“We are an entertainment service company that specializes in small ensemble/DJ combos. We performed at our first wedding at The Herb Lyceum in early October and were blown away. First of all, the garden and grounds are LOVELY, the food is OUTSTANDING and the staff were all WONDERFUL. Everyone there was friendly and professional, and truly allowed us to do what we do best, and we felt fully supported to do our jobs. Often with outdoor venues, we have issues with power, but not here! We had ample power for the ceremony, dinner reception and the dance party under the tent, running some heavy wattage sound and lights. We very much look forward to coming back to do more events in the future!“

“Best breakfast sandwich in Westford. Sausage egg and cheese.“

“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.“

“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).“

“Magnificent experience from waiter to menu to food, it was a culinary encounter with greatness.“

“My friend and I out for a celebration of sorts and both of us loved our experience. Molly was amazing as was everyone else we interacted with. Food was perfect ..“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food! We went for a special wi e night and service was perfect, food was amazing!“

“Welly’s has that classic family-owned diner feel with comforting American favorites and consistently friendly service. It’s one of those places where everyone feels welcome, and the food always hits the spot!“

“Omg! Amazingly delicious!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My colleagues and I visited this establishment directly following our performance at GrotonFest, which was held nearby. The staff was very courteous and obliging. Lauren, our server, was particularly pleasant. We shared some lighthearted conversation, and our food was served promptly. The meal was substantial, the staff was friendly, and the view was extraordinary. The Rusty Randoms highly recommend Forge and Vine!“

“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.“

“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)!“

“Today I went into Johnson’s with my dad! He was having a hard day today! He was a little confused the staff inside Johnson’s could not be more accommodating! I so very thankful for your kind hearts 💕 and patience! My father loved his lunch and the Sundae!!!“

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

“Not normally a solo eater, I stopped by the Club Car Cafe in W. Concord, yesterday, and had the most delicious lunch. I ordered the veal parmigiana sandwich which came with fries and, on a 90+ degree day the iced tea I ordered really hit the spot. The veal parmigiana was as good I’ve had at many Italian restaurants. The portion was generous and the price value relationship was excellent. Club Car Cafe has an extensive breakfast menu which is served until 10:45. I had originally planned to go for breakfast but didn’t make it in time. Next time, I will start out earlier. I did pick up a blueberry scone and blueberry muffin, on the way out, and we enjoyed them for breakfast today. Club Car Cafe is a family run restaurant and Bianca and Ron made me feel so welcome. If you’re in the West Concord area, I would definitely recommend having breakfast or lunch at the Club Car Cafe. If you have a little train lover, he/she will enjoy seeing the real trains going by as well as the toy train set , high up on the wall, traveling round and round the restaurant. The menu is extensive and I am fairly certain the Club Car Cafe has a Childrens menu. Handicapped access is something I always look for. There is a ramp on one side of the building!“

“Our house special was PERFECT tonight. Perfect!“

“Outstanding service and care! Thank you so much for all you do. Our family truly appreciates you all!“

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

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

“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!“

“Food was delish,service was excellent.“

“First, my apologies for not posting this sooner.

We had a Day-After brunch last month following our Class of 75 reunion the previous evening. I had reserved space for twenty, but only half of us were able to attend.The outdoor seating was perfect as was the weather. The service and food were excellent (I have been going about avocado toast all wrong...that was wonderful).

Anyway, my classmates and I enjoyed our time together there. I would not hesitate to go there again.

Thank you“

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

“We went here for our anniversary dinner the food was amazing had the gold rush chicken tenders for a appetizer they were so good and my entree I got Shepard’s pie and for desert we got the chocolate lava cake all three were so good will be back for sure!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place for a Friday afternoon drink and app! Bartenders are great!“

“We usually sit at the bar and get immediate service. The bartender last night even remember us from a few months ago. She remembered what we drank. My sister ordered the same as last time and I ordered a slightly dirty Tito’s martini with a special request for bleu cheese stuffed olives. They were perfection! We both ordered the ahi tuna with avocado and jasmine rice. Omg it was to die for. I can’t wait to go back and order it again. I wish I could remember the bartender’s name so I could give her a shout out!!! All it says in the receipt is server: PM.“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“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.“

“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!❤️❤️❤️“

“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! ❤️“

“Wonderful! Great chicken sandwich on amazing bread! Friendly helpful staff. A true joy to find this place and have lunch. This place is very special indeed.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great lunch with homemade soup Thank you I didn’t expect such a great meal!“

“We would highly recommend Crossroads Cafe, delicious food, great atmosphere & friendly waitstaff. A family run & established restaurant for years.“

“Awesome staff and management; both go above and beyond to enhance your experience“
