American Restaurants near Grafton

“Our first visit. Fish and chips and a patty melt. But first, buffalo chicken tenders for an appetizer. Fresh. Not burnt or dry. The blue cheese came in a container, would have preferred a user friendly way to get it open, but that's ok. Extensive menu made for tough decisions. But there's always next time, right? Our waitress was very diligent in getting more napkins, water. Dinner came soon after, so close to perfection! Took home my other half of my patty melt. The decor has a theme of a post office so, made sense naming the restaurant. We will return to try the other offerings on the menu.“

“I used to live in 2 Grafton Common, just across from the Inn 25 years back and I knew the Inn's location. It was a historical building, nice, lot of modern amenities yet in old style which I personally like. Clean and comfortable bed, spacious room, bathroom is ok. Appreciate the fridge and hair dryer. The only thing is that I spent 1 night there in the beginning of October and there was no room heater. It was not super-cold but as I went there from Arizona, to me it was cold. I noticed it in night but didn't call the host for it as it was not terrible cold or freezing. But my suggestion would be to put a room heater. The tea-coffee arrangement is nice. I must appreciate the host's nice communication and appreciate that he did let me do early check-in. Grafton is a quaint small town with lots of trees in Common across from the Inn and I enjoyed it immensely but I must write that there was no front desk/reception in the building, the room key was in the lockbox, the front door stays open, inside light is dim, my room was No. 7 on 3rd floor with dim-lighted corridor and there was a small you get when you enter in an old house......to me all these were ok but may not be to everybody. An alone person may feel eerie or unsafe there. I stayed there for October 9, 2023.Walkability: you can walk in this quaint town and enjoy the greenery.“

“Last night before the Judds concert, we were looking for a place to have dinner. Most places right around the venue were at least an hour wait. We ended up a couple blocks from away at a place called deadhorse hill . It was a small place, not a huge menu but a decent selection of options. The greeter was prompt and polite. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Our waitress was attentive and funny with a quick wit. While we waited for our meal, I observed the bartender expertly measuring, stirring and shaking drinks while engaged in friendly chatting with other staff and people at the bar. Our food was great. We each got burgers and fries and they were delicious. When the bill came, there was a 20% tip already factored in. I've seen this done for large parties before but it was just three of us. Apparently it was stated on the menu, I hadn't seen it. I'm paraphrasing here because I don't recall the exact wording but basically they said the reason they do it is so that all staff is paid equally and they earn enough to make a livable wage. I thought that was pretty cool and then it dawned on me, our waitress was truly one of the best I've ever had. In truth, she didnt have to be. Technically, she was already getting her 20% guaranteed. She didnt have to put in any extra effort. The same goes for the rest of the staff. To me, this made it all the more impressive. The backs of the shirts they all wore said, "Don't be a Pickle kicker". Couldn't figure out what that meant so we asked our waitress. She told us that some time ago back they first opened, a young man worked there and when it got busy and he was building the sandwiches and a pickle fell to the floor, he would just kick it under the fridge. When other staff would clean they would find piles of pickles under there. So its a message to everyone on staff to think of each other, take pride in their work and don't be lazy. I thought that was pretty amazing. All in all, if you ever find yourself in Worcester, MA for a concert or event at the DCU Center, go early and have dinner at Deadhorse Hill. Well worth it and a wonderful experience.“

“I found myself in Worcester yesterday and searched for vegan food online and found Belmont Vegetarian among others listed. After seeing several pictures of dishes I decided to go! And I’m glad I did! Belmont Vegetarian (where everything is vegan) was delicious and in heaping portions. There’s a smaller (but still big) container for only $17 and change and a giant container (which I obviously got) for $19 and change. I got BBQ, mac n cheese, rice , beans, and chickpeas, and some sweet n sour steak. They also make their own delicious juice with sea moss. I got watermelon. The place is set up for takeout mostly with only 2 dining tables.Definitely worth the drive from NH!“

“Great place to eat in Worcester. A lot of menu options with something for just about everyone. Portion sizes are big enough to ensure you get to bring food home with you. Some interesting twists on conventional dishes as well. Servers were super tentative and always accommodating. Great place to go with your friends or family. Parking is hard to come by there, however.Parking: Big parking lot but very tough to find a space. May have to wait 10-15 minutes for one to open up.“

“Today I ordered the Monti Cristo Sandwich !!! OMG !!! It was So Delicious that I ate the whole thing . I just couldn't Stop Eating it . I also got one to take Home . The Food at Lou Roc's is Incredible !! And the Portions of Food are big . And the Prices are Reasonable . My Friend and I usually go once a Week . But we will return again Tomorrow . Thank you For Such Great Food .“

“I’ve been here 3 times now, 2 visits in 2023 and now 1 a year later. I can confidently say this place is an amazing little gem ! I love the fresh ingredients they use and the FLAVOR is so so good, I also love how you can get a bowl with two different sauces and they both shine without being too over powerful. I can taste the love in the food. The chicken sandwich has my heart but everything else on the menu isn’t far behind. This is a must go every time I’m in town, can’t forget the fresh baked cookies either.“

“Stopped in with friends who have been here before but it was our first time and we were very impressed! Hard location if you don't know you might drive right by, small inside but don't let that fool you. The portions were great. The staff was so nice and very informative. And the choices of food had a great variety. Loved the specials as well! Loved that it's a scratch kitchen. Everything came out hot and perfectly cooked! The best part though I have to say is the home made carrot cake!“

“Parking was terrible however the food and service was great for a home cooked diner breakfast. It was very busy but they were still quick and food was brought out after a short wait. It is cash only so keep that in mind but prices for what they served was very reasonable!“

“Enjoying Worcester Restaurant Week at 111 Chop House, our waiters Bryce & Sam were awesome! We started with some cocktails and rolls. For an appetizer, we had bang bang shrimp and a cesar salad. The star of the show was the pork osso bucco, which fell off the bone. Great portions for the price.“

“Great cheese steak! Looking forward to trying more of their menu.I was on a mission to find a good cheese steak in the area (it's surprising how few sub shops actually have them) when I stumbled upon this little gem during a google search. It was only 8 minutes away yet I had never noticed it before.  Now that I've tried it, I will definitely be going back!The cheese steaks were hot and cheesy, with lots of shaved steak in relation to the bread (a complaint I've seen in reviews of other places) and with options like onions, peppers, mushrooms, etc.  Everything you could want in a good cheese steak, with a choice of fries or onion rings on the side - hot and crispy.We also ordered the potato skins (at the top of their appetizer menu) since those caught my eye -- smothered in cheese and with nice big chunks of crispy bacon (not those sad little crumbs of bacon bits) with a side of sour cream.We got takeout, but I went and ordered in person so I could get a feel for this new-to-me place.  The interior was clean, with about a dozen tables for dine in, but the takeout traffic was crazy on a Friday night.  It was clear that they had a loyal following of regular customers, which speaks volumes.  Will order ahead next time, but the wait gave me time to think about all the other things I wanted to order -- particularly looking forward to tasting their Gyros and what looked like an awesome pastrami sandwich as well.A hidden gem.Kid-friendliness: They have a children's menuWheelchair accessibility: Accessible parking lot, entrance, and tables“

“Had Easter dinner there today. Food was wonderful. Service was excellent. Our server Stephen (or is it Steven) was very attentive. As busy as he was, he made us feel like we were the only ones he was taking care of. Thank you for having lamb on the Easter menu. My 95 year old Dad had the lamb and loved it.“

“I just have to tell you the food is top-notch. They're very nice there their hospitable their courteous the food is top-notch the service is great. They bring the food to you after you place your order they don't give you a hard time. They are awesome and the ambience is so phenomenal. It's an awesome clean environment and I would give 1000 out of 1000 stars if I could and if you guys are seeing this, please give it a chance try it out cause, I telling you if I could give a lot of stars I would because this place is so phenomenal also want to add that people who say oh I won't be back because of the pickles that's ridiculous because you'd have to pay for if you were to go to a place that had him chips or desserts I mean come on there's enough negativity in the world we need to support one another and iPhone one would give 1000% of stars to this business so if you have nothing nice to say keep it to yourself because iPhone one love this place and they have great atmosphere great ambience great food in the services top-notch and they go out of their way to help you.“

“Armsby Abbey is a culinary gem nestled in the heart of Worcester , renowned for its commitment to craft beer and farm-to-table dining. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance, with rustic décor and a cozy atmosphere.“

“I wanted the prime rib on Thursday but unfortunately it’s a Friday thing. The ribeye was absolutely fantastic. I always tell people I only like my steaks and they blew me away with theirs still. My wife had gotten their turkey soup which I tasted. It was homemade you can definitely tell. Hearing the local chatter at this bar made me feel like I was watching Cheers. I love this place.“

“Delicious with extensive menu that offers all ur comfort foods FAVS and then some! Does get VERY BUSY. I went at 1 p.m to P/U take out on Good Friday and place was already packed with people waiting outside to get seated. Although recently went and ordered a Fish Sandwich. It came on toasted white bread.? When I mentioned that to the waitress, she said they do have bulkies and pumpernickel.So I suggested her that she should ask next time someone orders one because nobody wants to fish sandwich on toasted white bread.???“

“We went due to a hot dog craving. We both had the two hotdog special with fries, outstanding and priced perfectly $10. We did get a side of rings as well delicious. We also had the owner come by and check on us. Ice cream to wash it down. Great meal. Will be back for sure“

“I had a great time eating /Drinking delicious food & cocktails at 1885. The waiters and waitresses were committed to great service and were very friendly. The atmosphere was awesome and I definitely enjoyed the very modernstyle. Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great! If you are looking for an elevated cocktail experience, look no further. 1885 drink menu specials are the best in the city of Worcester.My personal recommendations for foodBrunch- Steak and eggs (potatoes are absolutely incredible)Deviled eggs with pork belly (WOW)General Menu - I just had the chicken, shrimp, steak kabobs… bursting with flavor.Lamb Meatballs (pickled onions just takes this next level)This place is going to make some noise in the city for years to come!“

“Good find! Decent food and reasonable prices. Went with a friend. Both got burgers, cooked to order and tasty. Server was very friendly, just seemed to take a long time to get our food. Note that it was busy while we were there. Disappointed the onion rings were of the frozen variety and an upcharge of $1.50, but I didn't ask when ordered. Overall a good place to go, for good food. (FT burger in picture - yummy)“

“One of my favorite cafes in Worcester to study, hang with friends, and have a bite to eat (and sip!) They have a plethora of options for all dietary preferences, making it easy for anyone to find something delicious. My favorite item on the menu is the Vegan JUST Egg bagel sandwich, which is packed with flavor.“

“A nice little hidden gem off the beaten path in an upcoming Marlboro restaurant scene. Located down what seemed like a side alley, this two room dining place had a bar on one side and tables on the other. We sat in the bar area and you could see by all the patches they were law enforcement friendly. They had a nice selection of mixed drinks, but a small selection of beers. Our server was a nice down to earth older guy who was very patient with my wife's questions, lol. I had the Ultimate Chicken sandwich. It was definitely a hand breaded half a chicken breast with a really tasty sauce, and had nice hand cut fries. Wife ordered a bacon cheeseburger with a side salad. She ordered rare, and surprisingly it was perfectly done. The mound of bacon on top was more than I have ever seen“

“Very good meal here- had the crispy chicken sandwich and the super thin house chips. Great atmosphere that was quiet enough for a conversation- rare these days. Pick window for to go is well. Just off the Mass Pike and worth the 2 minute detour.“

“Went for late lunch, early dinner with a friend. Totally new place & area. Pretty big & spacious. The truffle fries were best. Ahi tuna was okay. Our server was very friendly.Update: Went again for dinner with my friends fam. I ordered the general tso with shrimp. It was delish. Everyone liked their food they ordered but the wait was too long. Went again for the third time for our post marathon meal. Vegetable bowl with shrimp was amazing. Love every bit of it.“

“If you're in the area, I strongly suggest visiting Welly’s Marlborough. The investment is absolutely worthwhile. The food's exceptional quality and freshness stood out to me. The portion sizes were just right – not excessive, not insufficient. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I'll definitely be returning soon.“

“Stopped for lunch before going to an event at DCU Center. Intended to go to Boulevard Diner across the street but there was no room. Parkway was a great alternative. We had a group of 6 including 2 children and we were seated and served promptly. Great food and great service and much more room than the diner across the street.Kid-friendliness: Great place to bring kids. Very kid-friendly.“

“From the welcome, to the presentation, to the atmosphere to the final course, I can't possibly tell you how amazing this dinner was. If you're looking for an enjoyable evening produced by a couple who truly loves what they do, this is the place. If I could give them 10 stars I would!“

“We were told that Vintage Pizza had a great BLT pizza. So we stop and tried it on our way home from New Hampshire a couple of years ago. It was fantastic !!!!! Now every time we go to New. Hampshire to visit family we stop at Vintage Pizza on our way home to Wallingford, Connecticut.“

“Such a wonderful place for brunch or lunch!! The staff were very sweet and attentive. We had everything we ordered in a timely manner, the restaurant was clean, and the food was delicious! I'd 100% go again, and based on how busy it was, many would!!Parking: Limited space behind restaurantKid-friendliness: Lots of options for picky kids, sides like single pancake, wafel, bagel, etc.“

“I LOVE this place! Me and my husband stop in around once a month and it is always AMAZING! My favorite drink is the smoked rosemary whiskey sour. Just be careful because they are STRONG and literally don't taste it. The flatbreads are a true highlight here. A light amd fluffy crust with fresh and flavorful toppings. I also love their coxhina for an appetizer. In general, everything we've had here is so so tasty and the atmosphere and crowd are so welcoming. I LOVE seeing all the regulars hanging around the bar on a Friday night. Such good vibes.“

“This place it's cute, casual, like you are walking into Grandma's house through the back door (the kitchen) Service it's great, very friendly staff, they serve your first cup of tea, loved that. The food was to die for, everything was amazing. We got to try some new things and the scones were the best I ever had, so much so that I didn't even miss the clotted cream (they make their own, it's different but still good)Lovely atmosphere with a bunch of friendly people.The only thing is that it took an hour and a half for us to get our food. We had somewhere else to be so we kind of rushed through tea.Overall, great place with awesome staff and delicious food.“

“Never been there before , was in town for business, I ordered 2 eggs, toast and their home made hash. The hash was spectacular, a lot of places say "home made" and it's regular old fashion hash , this was definitely made in house . Prices are very reasonable .“

“My favorite restaurant!! The tenderloin is delicious and I always get an order of deviled eggs there and one to go. Always friendly and attentive wait staff. This place is special, I haven't gotten a single thing off the menu I didn't like. My fiance and I always go for our anniversary and my birthday and we recommend it to everyone we know.“

“Returned to this gem, this time with my grandson and his hearty teenage appetite. We sat in a casual dining room with booths and lovely decor. One of things I love about this place is the variety of dining settings. The lounge is cozy, the casual dining room perfect for families. But there's also a more formal dining room, complete with white tablecloths. We were greeted and seated immediately this time. Our waitress was amazingly friendly and attentive. The kid's Sprite was more like seltzer and she replaced it Lickety-split, with a smile, and returned a moment later to ensure he was satisfied. We ordered an appetizer of Buffalo Chicken Tenders, requesting both ranch and blue cheese. It was a large order that we didn't finish, despite ravenous appetites. Our mail dishes arrived in a timely fashion, despite the restaurant filling up quickly. I had the Fish & Chips while my grandson ordered the Pilgrim Dinner. We were both very pleased and the bottomless pit took half of his home, declining dessert. This diner is very particular about her cake slaw and rarely enjoys it. I must say that I nearly licked the container clean. Be more thing - the bill didn't break the bank. I enjoyed a cocktail, we shared an app and had two delicious, generous meals for $57 - Hard to beat these days!“

“The owners are super friendly. They will serve you breakfast or lunch until closing. I've eaten here twice: brisket sandwich and second time 2 pancakes. Both are wonderful!Parking: Big lot, free to park there. It's a strip mall with other shops on either side of the Diner.“

“First time with family, which frequently goes to Red Rock. The food was great. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with my daughters allergies. Hopefully, we will be back often, summer outside, seating on the water and volleyball ?.Dietary restrictions: Very easy to accommodate dietary requests.Kid-friendliness: Very helpful with my daughter's allergies.“

“I've been craving some good ole diner food since I moved out of New England. While waiting for my Dad, to have a procedure done at one the UMass campus's. I decided to stop here for breakfast! So glad I did!! The food was excellent (Corned Beef Hash & Eggs), and the staff, well they are super friendly, and super inviting! The atmosphere is just like that of a nice old-school diner! I highly, highly recommend stopping in and giving this place a try!! Totally worth it!“

“After arriving in Boston Logan airport, we hopped in our rental car and were pretty hungry. We started looking for restaurants close to our driving route, and Cheesy St. Grill came up with some really great reviews. I admit the location may not be fancy near the gas station and service plaza/roadside stop, but I can tell you this is a spot you don't want to miss! Chantaly greeted all the customers with a smile, and she kept the short line moving right along with great efficiency. She helped us decide which grilled cheese sandwich variation we should try. I had the Caprese with both pesto and balsamic spread, and I was a little worried it would be too messy or saucy but it was perfect and amazing! My son had the daily special with boneless beef short ribs and grilled onions. She makes each sandwich to order so you can adjust the choice of bread or any of the ingredients, and she presents it fresh off the grill, hot and fresh. The most popular sandwich we saw several folks order the one that includes their amazing Mac & cheese that is actually spread inside the sandwich! I think you may not be able to go wrong with anything here - I wish I lived in the area. The seating area was very clean, too. Highly recommend you swing off the turnpike and enjoy a meal here!“

“I go here every time when I visit my mom. I come from NH to go here. The food is amazing, fresh, and never disappointing. My mom goes here a lot, and I often visit her with my grown daughter. She loves this place so much. So you have had 3 generations come to your restaurant. It's always a great visit with amazing food, and the servers do a great job. We will always be back to visit.Parking: Tons of parking to the side and front of the building.Kid-friendliness: See a lot of kids with moms and dads. Plenty of things they will like for food.“

“We had several meals here while in town for business, and every time we were impressed. So far absolutely everything is fantastic. My travel companion is a bit of a Clam Chowder snob, but he did rate it as “good” which is a great compliment from a Martha’s Vineyard/Cape Cod type of person. Butternut squash soup was good, the turkey chili was great for this Texas native. They also have an extraordinary variety of chips. Lastly, the pickles…. I can’t say I loved the flavor, but the quality is 100%.“

“I had a very yummy meal at the Mill for the first time this week. I had a pulled pork salad and it was amazing! It had a large menu that all looked delicious. It has a pub like comfort and we had a wonderful server too. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back!“

“I go here almost every Wednesday when the weather is cold with a group for trivia night. Though it's a small restaurant and bar, they keep the food consistent, reasonable prices, and none of us have yet to have a bad meal. The staff is friendly and offers great service. Good comfort food and nice local people.“

“My husband and I sat at the bar. Bartender was great. Very attentive, great personality. Interacted with a few waitresses that were all very personable! Food was on point. We had classic calamari which was cooked perfect and was lightly battered. Very tasty. We both ordered the Nashville chicken tacos and they were amazing! Dessert drinks were delicious! Apple martini and skrewy White Russian. Highly recommend!!“

“Absolutely love Galliford's! We have been many times. It's actually become a favorite birthday spot for our family!We had the Santa brunch here and it was phenomenal - hands down the best buffet we have ever been to!The standard menu is a bit limited but the quality is outstanding.“

“It was a quiet Tuesday night so not much atmosphere but didn’t expect any. Good drinks. Two in our party raved about their lemon rice shrimp entree. I was disappointed in the Greek salad with chicken. Dressing very vinegary and very little grated feta. Our server recommended getting dressing in the side and getting double feta. Not sure that would fix it though. Overall nice place and will go back and try again.“

“Small but fast service. Usually stop Saturday and Sunday on the way to Market 32. My breakfast is usually apple pie topping on texas, french toast or pancakes 12 inch each. Either 1 to 4 each. My wife likes a simpler breakfast with Popeye French toast. Middle of toast round cutout with fried egg in hole, get fried toast hole on side. Prices were not raised as high during recession as chains. . .Parking: Plenty of spots.Kid-friendliness: More adults than kids. Mostly singles and couples. The staff remembers guests ons weekly visits. Fast Service. Coffee cups kept full. Very friendly. Customers will change seats to accommodate new customers.“

“A local dive watering place. Visited for lunch and it was hopping. The bartender/ waitress was awesome. Attentive to her bar and her table guests. The broccoli Cheddar soup was tasty and a good start to lunch. The taco salad was basic but good. The taco shell was crispy and not oily- awesome. I did add some ranch so it was not dry- highly recommend. Overall a good lunch and suggest you give it a visit.“

“I really like this place. We've been here 8-10 times at this point. The food is fairly consistent (I have always liked my meals, but my friends sometimes don't have as much luck). I like their pretzel bites, chicken sandwiches, and burgers - it's a cool touch to have the OBT logo on the buns. Their dessert menu also has a few great options. Drinks are pretty good, and they have cute seasonal cocktails. Service is decent, but I haven't found the host/hostesses very friendly or welcoming - they seem as though they are sometimes annoyed they need to sit people, especially if you have more than 2 people in your party - but maybe they've been having off evenings when I've been there. My only criticisms would be the size of their soft drink cups (which it looks like they have improved, yay!!) and their closing time of 9pm SHARP. If they wish to close at this time, they should stop seating tables a lot earlier than they do. There isn't much communication about last call from the bar (this also includes refills for soft drinks) or last call for the kitchen. One time, we were not able to order dessert because the kitchen had closed - but our waitress never warned us of this. Most recently, we ordered/ate our food in 45 mins, which I think is very speedy, but I still felt rushed by the staff. Our server seemed more focused on cleaning than service, they turned off the music to ensure our quick exit, and stared at us as we walked out at 9:05. I really expected better service for the price of the food. Not sure if I'll be back any time soon, but I'd still recommend them for an early dinner or lunch.“

“Cash only. I really want to give five stars, the staff is very friendly, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is homey, however... it's pretty tight quarters. Waiting for a seat can be tricky as there isn't really anywhere to wait. The food is really good, the corned beef hash is homemade and tasty but it's consistency is very similar to premade. The pancakes are excellent and huge. Prices are on the high side but you do actually get what you pay for here. Overall a great place for breakfast.“

“We ordered 2 bacon cheeseburgers and potato skins. I was very impressed when they asked how we wanted the burgers cooked. We ordered medium and they came out perfect! All the veggies on our burgers were fresh and the bacon was thick sliced with an awesome flavor. We really enjoyed the potato skins as well. My burger was so large that I ate half and will be eating the rest of it and my potato skins for dinner. The food was prepared quickly and it came out sooner than they told me it would be ready. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I had the chance to meet the owner and he is a really nice man. Don't go by the previous reviews this place is a hidden gem! The bar has a homey "Cheers" atmosphere. I will definitely go back.“
