50 Best American Restaurants near Charlton

“Remains the best place to eat in all of central Mass. Great family restaurant operated by 2nd generation family. Top quality meals and good old down home service by friendly folks.“

“I’ve been coming here for over 30 years. Couldn’t even begin to count the times. I’ve never been disappointed. If you need your fried clam or scallop fix especially, you’ll get no better than Ronnie’s. Grab an order of fritters too to munch on. Just delicious. The near constant crowds have never lied!“

“This was a 10/10 hit all around! We were just leaving Boston with 5 hour drive ahead of us - Eller's was off our route a bit, but the only place with great reviews and a menu that suited all of us. We could not have been more satisfied with this experience! Portions were huge, food was fresh and well prepared, service was with a smile and super speedy. My favorite part was that you could tell the owner/s take a lot of pride in the quality of the food and the service! On a busy Saturday night, the owner was talking to customers and running food to tables right alongside his crew, and his wife in the kitchen - no surprise why everything was excellent with that level of involvement from the owners! The next time we are in the area we will make a point to return.“

“We had our wedding at Spencer Country Inn and I truly cannot say enough incredible things about the experience. From start to finish, Amy — the venue coordinator — was an absolute dream to work with. She was organized, reassuring, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect for us. She went above and beyond in every possible way. At one point, I was literally about to walk down the aisle without my bouquet, and Amy stopped me, sprinted back to my room, and got it for me — talk about a lifesaver! I handed her all of my décor the day before, and she set everything up more beautifully than I could have imagined. It felt like she pulled the vision right out of my head. The food was incredible — our guests are still talking about it. Between the amazing service, the historic charm of the venue, and Amy’s unmatched dedication, our day was everything we dreamed of and more. If you’re considering Spencer Country Inn for your wedding or any event — DO IT. And make sure Amy is by your side!“

“We piled in this morning for a mini family reunion - and it was just amazing! We sat in a room by ourselves and ordered a variety of food and drink. Not only was everyone happy to be together, all agreed it was a perfect morning all around.

It was especially enjoyable for the kids. Great food, exceptional service, and affordable prices make this a place I’ll definitely keep coming back to!“

There were a couple weddings going on so the lounge was kind of busy. I believe they were short handed too but the food was good. We enjoyed our stay but wished that the other restaurant in the hotel had been open.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We celebrated our 35th anniversary and my husband’s 56th birthday at Joey’s Bar & Grill in Worcester, and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond — multiple people came by to thank us for coming, especially when they learned we had driven two hours to be there. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and made the night extra special. Dinner started with warm homemade bread and oil for dipping. Scott had the braised short ribs, I had the steak tips with grilled veggies — both were absolutely delicious. We ended by sharing the most incredible strawberry shortcake with homemade grilled biscuits, lemon curd, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream (with a candle, of course!). 🍓✨ In a city with so many options, Joey’s was truly the best choice. We’ll definitely be back — even though it’s a two-hour drive, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“I had a delicious hot dog and fries from Major League Roast Beef & Wings in Auburn - the grilled, buttery bun and crispy, perfectly seasoned fries were a great combo.“

“The food is so warm, comforting, and made with such care. The atmosphere is always festive. Employees and customers are always in a happy mood. The drinks are tasty, refreshing and full of spirit. The chips and salsa are a great start, but be careful not to devour them and spoil the appetite you'll need to tackle your main dish! You'll walk out extremely satisfied because of the wonderful food you consumed. But, you'll also be pleasantly surprised because Pepe's is the best bang for your buck in Worcester. Highly recommended!!!“

“Macks catered our wedding this May and we cannot say enough good things about the food! First off, the tasting was amazing and they made us feel spoiled with the amount of food they gave us. Every single thing we tasted was so delicious and got us so excited for our wedding food. The guests raved to us about everything. Russ told us we would never run out of anything on the big day and he was absolutely right. I would recommend them 100%. Communication takes a little bit but just be patient, they are juggling a lot. We were so impressed too that all of this was done while they were dealing with trying to reopen their restaurant after the fire. The servers on the day were fantastic as well and they did a great job arranging our grazing table and serving everyone. Thank you so much for making our day beautiful and memorable. We can't wait to eat at the now open restaurant soon!“

“Been going there about twice a week for years happily but this menu change upsets me. They have eliminated all the club sandwiches altogether. We feel that this a basic menu item and will now look for other places to get them. If needed raise prices on a popular item like the 'club' sandwich, but should be left on the menu.“

“Great food, service and price.“

“Had Mr. Beast today and it was awesome! will have this again.“

“Other Applebee's locations were satisfactory so I was surprised at the noticeably higher quality of each item consumed at the Auburn/Sturbridge restaurant. The service from Serenity was friendly, helpful. efficient and much appreciated as we had driven through slow traffic from college graduations into a bright sun and feared slow service due to the Bri.field Flea Market.

From the moment we started planning, Scot Neri and his incredible staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely dedicated to making our event perfect. The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and elegant facilities that created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Scot and his team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, from the setup to the delicious catering. Our guests were blown away by the friendly service and the attention to detail.

“We needed to host a wedding rehearsal dinner in an area we weren't familiar with at all, since we live in another state. I googled places in the area and saw Teddy G's that looked interesting with their menu. I immediately emailed Ted and he got right back in touch. I had no idea about planning this dinner, but Ted was very knowledgeable and helped us out immensely. We are definitely satisfied with how everything turned out and everyone enjoyed. Thanks to Ted's expertise!!“

“Stopped in as traveling to Boston. Matthew, bartender, was awesome. Full of energy. Had the all you can eat apps... only because its cheaper that way... a couple of cocktails which he did great (not normal menu cocktails.) Overall... stop in and have a drink and some fun with them. They all like to make sure tou have a great time. For someone who travels a lot... it was refreshing!“

“Hadn't visited The Coffee Mug for some time until as of recent since I'm back working in the area, and been back multiple times. Everytime you walk in you have a warm welcome from the owner Effie. Everything from breakfast to lunch is made with love and tasty. I have to yet try the Turkey Dinner Special on Thuradays but will be sure to post when I do!“

“What a great spot! The staff was all amazing and greeted you as soon as you walked in, there was a large group of us and we ordered with food being brought out within 20-30 min! The atmosphere is great, every time you look around you see something you didn’t see before, like the portholes in the bar. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners Cindy and Tim who were AMAZING and so friendly. The hot lobster roll and fried clams…. THE BEST!“

“Some of the Best Food around is found here-these guys really know how to cook, and the prices are amazing for what you receive. I've been ordering from this address since its Hadwen days, and I'm really happy that Carlo's is there now. Try the Grilled Chicken dinner...“

“My family and I were short on time trying to catch a movie. We called ahead and spoke to Trish who helped us pre-order our food. When we arrived, Aleena already had a table of 8 set up and ready for us. The food came out with plenty of time to spare, and all the kids LOVED their pizza.

Thank you!“
