48 Best American Restaurants near Groton

“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!“

“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!“

“Solid local mainstay when you’re feeling a bit fancy but not “ooo la la,” if you know what I mean? We went with 6 adults and 3 kids under 5 for a low-key birthday brunch. I wouldn’t say the food was phenomenal, but I liked what I ordered, and the servers were attentive. I’d recommend this for a lazy Sunday when you want to get together with some friends for solid options but no major frills.“

“The food is so good and the service is very nice and the employees are nice“

“Best kept secret in Nashua, amazing food and the sweetest staff.“

“We dined outside in a beautiful breeze under a Linden Tree flocked with pakasandra. The smkoed salmon hollandaise with spinach on a perfectly toasted English muffin was fabulous. The poached eggs were also done perfectly. Flowering rose bushes were exquisite around the driveway. Great brunch❗️“

“On my first visit, I found the perfect amount. As a side, perfectly fried French fries. Their newly renovated dining room is ready to be unveiled. I sat alone at the lunch bar for my first visit, and the owner, who has been there for 37 years, recognized it by talking to me. Many patrons seem to be regulars. Excellent indication!“

“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)!“

“Great food, great prices and excellent staff!“

“Pretty woman and local legends“

“The Pine Street Eatery is an excellent choice for breakfast and lunch. I have never had dinner there nor have I been to the lounge. I am referring to the restaurant. The people are wonderful, the food is great and the prices are more than fair. Overall, a wonderful place for a meal.“

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

“The Dream Diner is one of those golden nuggets you hope to find within driving distance. A genuinely friendly, old style spotless diner where wonderful, hardworking people make great food, provide great service and will have you coming back for many years to come, as my wife and I have.“

“Wings are fantastic, recommend the Caribbean wet sauce. The Million Dollar Margarita is delicious- don’t forget the salt.
Free parking, full service bar, full menu, plenty of seating, excellent prices, and plenty of seating. I would highly recommend keeping the Sheraton Tara House Grill on your list as a convenient stop to enjoy an evening.
Make sure you round out your visit with a warm piece of Pecan pie.“

“Just went to the Lazy Bubble for the first time. It was amazing!! The food, service and ambiance were perfect. Can’t wait to return!“

“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.“

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

“We had a great experience at Not Your Average Joe’s in Nashua. Our server, Julianna, was fantastic. I ordered the mustard-crusted chicken which she recommended and she made sure to ask about allergies right away, which meant a lot since my son has severe food allergies and most servers don’t ask. She listened carefully, made sure everything was safe for him, and checked in just the right amount. Friendly, attentive, and super helpful we’ll definitely be back and asking for her again!“

“I haven't had good food there, except for a hamburger. The steak and cheese the other night tasted like the meat was going bad, or had freezer burn. I didn't eat it, just said I didn't like it, but we still paid.. Something else was bad on another visit but I don't recall right now. I go because my friend likes it, but no more..“

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

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

“Delicious food, great people!“

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

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

“Would have given 5 stars,but was shocked at how much priceshad gone up! Not only that but portions were another smaller,and flavor was different? I had casserole with ground beef,corn,and mashed potatoes. Sorry I can't remember name of dish,maybe Chinese pie??? My husband has Chicken Parm, 3 small pieces of chicken swimming in sauce. This used to be one of his faves-not anymore. Place was empty at 5 thirtyish maybe 6 to 8 others. Service was slower than normal. Very disappointing!“

“So much fun! Great adventure with the kids. Lots to do. Everyone is very friendly and food was good!“

“Great Place always fresh and delicious“

“This is a really good restaurant that’s located inside of the movie theater, but it’s not movie theater food. We had great burgers and the fries were perfect! The owner was also really nice and the service was great. Recommend trying it out“

“I have been to Longhorns in Nashua, NH, several times over the past 8 years. This week I enjoyed their Parmesan Crusted Chicken! Flavorful and cooked to perfection - tender and juicy! Their garden salad is always served fresh and cold. I enjoyed their white balsamic vinegar dressing.“

“I cannot thank the wonderful people at the nashoba club enough. we did our pre wedding dinner there with my family. they were very accommodating, staff were great. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“This was my first true experience trying some level Indian or Nepalese food, and it was very good. I can't speak to authenticity, but as someone who isn't the most adventurous eater, this place was really great. The Naan and meats were delicious. We really enjoyed having multiple types of Naan to mix and match with our meal. I had the 65 Chicken at the medium spice level and loved it. We tried a variety of the curries and passed them around. For a family of 4 with one drink each it was just about $100, so very reasonable when most of us came back with leftovers. The service is fast. Don't be fooled by the inside. It isn't anything over the top, pretty barebones, but when the food came out we were amazed. I know we will be coming back here to try more of their expansive menu.“

“I am a Frequent customer. mostly mornings. Great waitress Elaine and Meaghan always friendly! Top Shelf Food and Variety.“

“My wife and I have been here for dinner a handful of times and it’s always been great. This time was a perfect summer evening. The steak and country fried chicken were both delicious. Marissa was very attentive and friendly. She said at the end that it was “nice to meet you”. Never had a server say that before. They had a nice singer playing guitar too. Just an awesome evening.“

“Had a great time with our friends, we're all September babies and the waitress attended to us and showed us how to claim our free Burger individually. Love the food, we go every free weeks.

Kid-friendliness: Has plenty of kid friendly options on their kids menu.“

“I visited this location few years back. Usually I go more 9ften to the location in Lowell. I helped my fiend to organize her baby shower here. Since day 1, Anthony (owner) was very helpful and accomodating. On event day our main server Barbara provided a top notch service.
Event was a 3pm but they let us go at 11:30 to decorate, and Barbara was already ther and help me to set up tablecloths and everything she could.
At the moment of the event food was on time and deliscious, the buffet set up was very nice and Barbara kept cleaning making sure everything was presentable. Everybody love the food, the service and the place.

Parking: There is plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to get into the restaurant“

“they have the best street corn you'll ever have 😋🤤“

“Love going to the Westford 99- one of our go to spots when we want to have a cozy and delicious dinner anytime of the year. The staff here is so friendly, my husband and I truly always have a great time here. We’re planning to come to more trivia nights here on thursdays too- they seem great!“

“The 3 for me deal is awesome.Started off with wings with hot sauce which were perfectly cooked and salsa and chips. We got 6oz sirloin steaks cooked to perfection, awesome loaded potatoes and broccoli which were plentiful and the Cesar salad and clam chowder were great. Had the cheese cake for dessert and it was a large delicious slice with strawberry preserve jam sauce. The place was busy but our waitress was very friendly, attentive and helpful.“

“I read negative reviews for Buffalo Wild Wings and I don’t get it. This place was welcoming, clean, had an excellent menu, a friendly staff and great deals/Happy Hour. There were numerous wing options and the appetizer sample was a superb value. I will definitely return.“
