New American Restaurants near Great Barrington, MA

“This place was amazing!! It was "date night". We were both very satisfied with the place, our food and our interactions with employees. We started with the fried potato pancakes, Delicious!! He had the chicken and waffles and I had the Cali BLT w/ onion rings. The portions are great and the prices are right!! I definitely recommend checking them out.“

“Passed through for an event in Lakeville, CT. There are very few restaurants worth mentioning in the Berkshires, but Prairie Whale is easily one of the best. Will definitely not compete with what's available in NYC or Boston, but Prairie Whale still proudly serves as a beacon, reminding this quiet community that somewhere out there somebody still believes you deserve to experience flavor. Their cornbread is genuinely stellar though. Whatever you do, get an order of that for the table first.“

“Stopped in recently and was seriously impressed. The hamburgers were absolutely top-notch!

What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Linda was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming without being overbearing. She made sure everything was perfect and added a personal touch that you don’t always find these days.

Great food, great service, and a spot I’ll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend!“

“They somehow managed to combine the friendliness of a local pub with the food of a fine restaurant. Highly recommend this gem. Havent tried the pizza place nectdoor but the wood fired oven makes pizza that looks delicious. I am a beer drinker but the cocktails look great! No, its not cheap but qhat is these days?“

“We dine all over Berkshire county, and this is one of the best culinary experiences we have had. Multiple dinners at the bar watching the chef-owner work and provide amazing meals from start to finish. Great atmosphere, make the trip and enjoy! Trust this is a gem in the Berkshires.“

“This restaurant has been a go to for me and my family going to back to the 80’s. Consistently good food, some dishes being great!! They did close recently to renovate & our 1st meal there after the renovation was not as delicious as before the new interior makeover.“

“Charming place with tasty food!“

“Just the experience we hoped for!“

“First time guest. Had the most charming stay at Race Brook Lodge. I arrived in the evening and followed a path down to where I was staying: a sweet, charming, rustic cottage room. The bed was enormous and inviting, there was a nook off of the room with an additional sleeper. No tv, just the sounds of the evening outside. It was a little chilly and they had heaters ready for use. The bed was very comfortable and I had a great sleep.

In the morning, I followed another path to the dining area where I was greeted by the staff, who were super-friendly and warm. Overnight guests were greeted by the staff like they were family (they seemed to be regular guests) and the breakfast was delicious. I took a quick dip in the pool and used the sauna, then went for a hike. It was the perfect getaway from my stress. Would come back here again 100%.“

“My husband and I stopped here in our way through Lee, MA. From the older gentleman that greeted us with a sparkle in his eye when he smiled and a great sense of humor to the wait staff ... everyone was lovely, personable and accommodating. My husband had the duck and I had the fish and chips. They came quickly and both were so delicious! The fries were especially good! Our cheese cake was equally as good! Thank-you Morgan House for a great kick off to our 52nd anniversary ! Highly recommend !“

“The best Rueban sandwich I’ve ever had.“
