46 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. Good food, variety of drinks, good atmosphere and a great place to meet if you are coming from different directions. We will definitely be back“

“We stayed here for 2 nights with another couple. Our room was clean and the staff was very friendly when we asked for more coffee and during check in and check out. 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 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!!“

“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.

“First time here…. Outstanding service and best western omelette I’ve ever had. Food came out hot and fast and the staff was awesome. Discounts for cash payment and military/first responders 🍺“

“N & J Donuts in Oxford is a hidden gem always fresh, fluffy, and full of flavor! The variety is amazing, and the staff is welcoming and quick. It’s our go-to spot for a sweet start to the day!“

“Amazing food, waiter was geat.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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!“

“We recently hosted our son's graduation party at Cohasse Country Club, and we couldn't be more pleased with our experience! 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. A special shoutout to Scot for his exceptional coordination skills and for making sure every aspect of the party was flawless. If you're looking for a top-notch venue with a dedicated team, Cohasse Country Club is the place to go. Thank you for making our son's graduation party truly memorable!“

“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!“

“My Server Emily was Extraordinary. She is so Friendly and Attentive. She took my Order in a timely manner and saw to it that everything was to my liking. The Lasagna, Salad and Bread were delicious and filling. The Servers and Food are top shelf.“

“Love coming to sit at the bar on Sundays to see Tony. Would be nice to see some food specials during football!“

“Extremely friendly and attentive staff. The food is excellent. We’ve been working our way around the menu 😁 The best clam chowder I’ve had. Absolutely loaded with clams. I highly recommend you try the Whistlestop.“

“They wouldn't let me write another review, so...for the third time I went to order my o m cheeseburger. I asked for extra sauce on the side, but they gave me the burger plate without any cheese on it. I did not ask for them to not put cheese on the platter. Ruined my whole lunch. Probably won't be back....you should see this dish....not even appetizing. Very disappointed“

“As if the beautiful view of the lake, wasn’t enough add to that spectacular food with a wonderful weight staff that was courteous, attentive, and very pleasant. Entertainment is always the best as well.“

“It was my 1st time here. Ordered a small extra pepperoni cheese pizza. Well done. It was delicious, I can't complain. Tom, the employee who works there. Was professional and outstanding. This place was recommended by a co-worker. Thank you!“

“We ate our food there. It was good and relaxing atmosphere.“

“we went on the training days. very good food and the servers were friendly“

“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...“

“Good food, excellent service... in the words of my daughter, Ruby, "1000 stars!!!"“

“I often come to unos with my girlfriend and one thing I always notice whether he serves us or not is how attentive, professional, kind and efficient Richard M is with his work. From Always checking in and taking dirty plates to getting us new drinks without being asked he is always a pleasure to have as a waiter. In my opinion Richard is a big part of what makes the unos atmosphere a great place to be. I just wanted to share my reaction and show that his hard work and attentiveness is seen and appreciated!“

“This is hard… because I like the people service is slow… to slow. They need a second bartender to handle the restaurant area in peak times. I was there this past week. Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich with onion rings. After a long wait… the chicken sandwich was served hot and tasty. The onion rings were cold. Pasty as if they’ve been out of the frier for 30 minutes. Come on guys… step it up. We like your business.“

“Went there one day to have there pizza.was greeted by three nice ladies that told me to sit where I wanted. I asked one waitress where the bathroom was. She took the time to actually show me where the bathroom was because this was my first time coming here. I ordered a pepperoni pizza. My waitress said the girl hadn’t showed up as of yet. About a half hour later. My waitress came with my pizza. It was fantastic! Just sitting next to the water and watching the boats go by is just unbelievable. Not only will I be going back. But will be telling the world about this Jem in Webster. Thanks waterfront Mary’s.“
