50 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!“

“Known for their steaks and farm to table menu, Gibbet Hill Grill is a warm venue with beautiful views. The Barn at Gibbet Hill is semi associated and it a great wedding/celebration venue. We just had our first wedding anniversary dinner, after having our wedding last year at the Barn. We highly recommend them both. Also on Saturday dinners in the late spring/summer there is a good chance to watch there lawn wedding ceremony from the seats in the lounge.“

“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!“

“Enjoyed a flight of craft beer and a delicious Lobster roll with excellent coleslaw. One small criticism. Didn't want fries (although my wife got them with her excellent haddock plate and they were very good) However, I wanted onion rings and had to order them as an appetizer and there were just too many so most went to waste. Clean and bright atmosphere, friendly service as well.“

“We got the steak tip and the kids fried haddock.. Yummy yummy yummy. Our waitress was fantastic, and the food was delicious. One of our best eats. I highly recommend trying this place out a few times over. Fast service on a Sunday afternoon. We will be back

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a slight hill, however everything is accessible.“

“Cravable food, awesome beer selection, super cool staff, great vibe.“

“I sat at the bar like usual and Sara Bent did a fantastic job as always, Best bartender in the area !!!“

“Food was good ordered corned beef hash bowl with home fries very disappointed food was good but there was hardly any corned beef hash if I said 2 tablespoons of corned beef is overstaying great quality but very disappointed with amount of food“

“What a wonderful spot to grab a meal. We had about a 20 minute wait because we did not have a reservation but it went by quick. The restaurant is a bit on the rustic side but it had a ton of charm. While we waited for our meal we were serenaded by a gentleman playing the piano. For our meals I had the small prime rib served with mashed butternut squash and my girlfriend had the turkey dinner. The prime rib was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. We absolutely loved this place.“

“I recently got a huge burger with egg and bacon on top. It was outstanding. I also got a Reuben sandwich on sourdough which was also delicious.“

“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.“

“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.“

“beautiful hiking trails, museums. super knowledgeable folks and incredible views!“

“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.“

“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)!“

“First Pub Night tonight. Was an unexpected crowd of people supporting the musicians. The staff did an incredible job trying to get everyone seats and water and popcorn while gearing up to take orders. Friendly people and delicious food.“

“I had the best cocktails that was the the bar tender's own recipe, I think his was Jessie. The chef I believe is Nick , recipes were over the top.
So Much so I been back multiple times.

Parking: There is tremendous free parking“

“Went during Halloween ? and was going to enjoy witches woods attraction on a Saturday so we made reservations for 8pm and got a table about 805pm. And waitress was very busy we got menus from hostess about 15mins later. Waitress came to get our orders And we ordered drinks and food at same time our drinks came out 5mins later and the 15mins aver we got our dinner. All was good on a busy weekend“

“Excellent quality meals! Hearty portions & very tasty! Even my picky family is loving them. Have tried a few 2 person meals & a la carte items. Everything has been excellent! It is a bit pricy but food is packaged well & delivery seamless so far. Prep is very minimal (basically just heating up). Like that they don’t lock you into a subscription, can just use to supplement here and there to make life easier.“

“My dear buddy and I met for lunch, conversation and the Pats game today. We both live an hour and 5 minutes away ( me from the north and he from the south). We were seated immediately with a table where we both could view the game. We also could hear each other speak because the music was at a the right volume for conversation. Mariana greeted us warmly and asked if we wanted bread. My buddy informed her that he was gluten free and she offered him some GF bread. We were catching up with each other and she allowed us time to talk and not hurry to order. We both had Arnold Palmers. My buddy ordered the Waldorf Salad and I had the Super Crunch. Every single bite was delicious for both of us. Mariana suggested the Carrot Cake for my buddy and it did not disappoint him and he said it was the best GF carrot cake he ever had. I had the chocolate chip cookie with ice cream. Delish.
The only disappointment was that the Pats could not hold on to the lead and lost in OT. I shared the menu with my wife and she asked when we could go together. My buddy and I are very grateful to Mariana and the kitchen staff for a very enjoyable dining experience today. Cheers to all.

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

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

“Stumbling upon Tavern in the Square during a Costco errand turned out to be a delightful surprise!

With its welcoming ambiance and friendly staff, this casual spot offers a satisfying culinary experience. Our large group of 14 was accommodated effortlessly, and our food arrived promptly and accurately.

The fried pickles, piping hot initially, became irresistible as they cooled. The cool and refreshing Greek salad, generously portioned, was a perfect complement. Its well-seasoned dressing and creamy feta cheese added a burst of flavor.

I also ordered the nachos on our first visit. These things are huge well worth sharing the guacamole is also really good.

The exceptional service at Tavern in the Square deserves special mention. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was memorable. Whether you’re planning a date night or a casual gathering, add Tavern in the Square to your list for great food and exceptional hospitality.“

“outdoor dining, great atmosphere. delicious food“

“We've been eating here for years, last time was March 16, 2020. We did take out but felt terrible not eating in since. After being vaccinated and not eating out for 13 months, it was only fitting this was our first venture out. Jay was as gracious as ever, and Mike our bartender was as bald as ever, and equally as fun. You can't beat a private restaurant over a chain, their soul is invested and it shows. Thank you for a great visit, see you regularly in the coming days!“

“My boyfriend and I have been coming here for about a year and request Julie as our waitress every time. She genuinely is the reason why we come back so often. Julie is such a ray of sunshine and always ensures that we have an amazing experience. Her customer service skills are the best I’ve ever seen or experienced before, we will come back as long as she works there! She goes above and beyond always!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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 was down at the Phoenix today and tried the new chicken and waffles appetizer. Delicious! There’s awesome additional menu items with lots to choose from! You won’t be disappointed!“

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

“Me and my family have been coming to this particular 99 in Westford, MA for several years now. I regret to say that their quality of food has diminished over the years, unfortunately. Still, it's decent at best overall. You're honestly better off going to a Cracker Barrel (unless you want to watch a Boston sports team game on the TV; CB has a better overall menu, selection and tastier comfort food). Though if you want to go for just adult beverages and to watch the game, this is still a good place to do just that (IF the Red Sox win, kids eat free)! This 99 is convenient cuz it's right off of 110 in between the Littleton and Westford exits off of 495.

Parking: There are parking spots all around this restaurant, including 3 handicap and 2 EV spots.

Kid-friendliness: Several booth and tables that can accommodate whoke families, staff is friendly and kids eat free here IF the Red Sox win the day before.

Wheelchair accessibility: 3 parking spots in the lot right next to the entrance. Wheelchair accessible doors and seating. Not sure about the bathroom though.“

“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.“

“The food was great as was the service. Try the poutine! So good. The only drawback was that they had live music in the bar area and still had the music playing over the speakers in the dining area. A little too jumbled. Great place to try though.“

“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“

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

“First time at Chili's ever. Got there about 430 on a tuesday. It wasn't bad. First off the crispy chicken tenders were Amazing! Fresh and crispy and tasty. We all loved them! We got the trio for an appetizer. - I'm not a quac fan but the green sauce was really good!... For the most part it Was good, (mozzarella is SUPER THICK N CHEWY , so if you don't like cheese that stretches 3 ft don't get them .lol. the southwest burrito things were very good .. even my son whom doesnt like beans enjoyed it. And we also got the crispy chickens ... So yum)
I got the triple fajita plate. Was Very good.... Peppers, onions, shrimp ( super impressed by the shrimp there actually :) ! , steak was Good/ super yum for that plate, even the rice was pretty good, but, The chicken for that though, was flavorless and kinda rubber and rather fake tasting.... Was disappointed cause the crispy chickens in the app were so awesome!!! :/
also ordered the kids cheeseburger and broccoli. Sliders were rather bland n rubbery.. broccoli was okay. He ate it all cause we were super hungry .lol. son said he liked it ...
also got the 5 crispy chickens with fries and Mac n cheese ... Fries were Very good! ( Chicken SUPER yummy!!!) But the Mac was like a glue blob, okay tasting but needed more flavor/seasoning... Something more than cheese glue . Lol ?‍♀️.
Server, Camille, if I remember correctly was a great sport as it was our first time there ever :). )
Spent $90 there. Including tip.... Wishing it was a bit better, but some things were Amazing and some were very sub par :/ if we decide to go back- crispy chicken is def on the menu!.... But no other chicken or kids meals sliders. And no other chicken on adult menu due to the chicken fajitas meat ( sorry, but that was rather ugh....) shrimp may be another visit there though!“

“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.“
