50 Best American Restaurants near Hanover

“The Square Cafe is now my go-to spot. Their bread pudding is the star - I'm still dreaming about it. The holiday cocktail menu is fun creative and festive. The Sesame Salmon is a masterpiece - perfectly seared with a crispy crust while staying tender inside. The spicy soy beurre blanc sauce and wakame seaweed salad create an amazing blend of flavors and textures. What makes this place truly special is the exceptional service. Sean, Amanda, and Jimmy created such a welcoming atmosphere for our party of 9. Jimmy didn't miss a beat and was very attentive. Sean & Amanda's friendly personalities made the experience even better. Thank you! Whether you're coming for the amazing bread pudding (which you absolutely should) or the delicious food and cocktails, their warm hospitality made our visit extra special. Five stars, easily one of the best dining experiences on the South Shore.“

“Love the attention that this restaurant takes to those with allergies. They even have a gluten free specific menu. Food and staff were amazing.“

“We had such a great experience at 3Brothers. The food was delicious and the desserts were to die for. You cannot skip the banana foster bread pudding! They have a good selection of fun cocktails and the Strawberry Coconut Margarita was a win for me. What truly made the experience 5 stars was the incredible service we received from the staff. Our servers were Lily and Audrey and both were so friendly, fast, and super accommodating despite there being a party of 40 they were also helping. I always make a point to call out above and beyond service because that's unfortunately rare these days but I was impressed and am already looking forward to going back. Thanks for a great evening!“

“Everyone who worked here was so nice and made you feel like family. We ate here recently before going to a South Shore Music Circus show (very nearby) and our meals were delicious. I got the baked haddock and I loved the cracker crumb on it. Will definitely return.“

“Great food and atmosphere!“

“Impeccable quality and presentation every time. Five star!“

“Recently took some friends to Towne Tavern. They were all excited to get the Viking Steak Sandwich. We get it every time we go, which is fairly often. So disappointed that it is not on the menu any longer. Also the Calamari is not on the menu. Don’t understand why it was removed. I was under the impression that it was a popular item.“

“Very good meal and drinks“

“Great service! Great food!“

“My husband and I had our wedding at TJ Smith's and it was a wonderful experience. They were always so quick to answer questions and assist us. They handled everything the day of and ensured our wedding was a huge success. We didn't have to worry or stress about a single thing. The price is amazing for the value and I highly recommend checking them out. Our wedding was absolutely perfect!“

“My wife and I visited Square Cafe in Hingham last night and we had an awesome dinner! I can't say enough good things about this place. Probably one of THE BEST meals I've had in a long time when dining out. The food...all of it....our appetizers, entrees and dessert was outstanding! Our waiter Jamis was the best! If you haven't tried Square Cafe, do yourself a favor and give it a try. We will definitely be a repeat customer!“

“I’ll start with the positives: the food was excellent, the drinks and views were awesome, and even the wait wasn’t bad since the chairs were comfortable and you could grab a drink while waiting. That said, this is definitely not the best spot for a relaxing Saturday date night. There were so many unsupervised kids running wild that it completely killed the vibe. Three separate groups let their kids kick and throw dirt until they broke the landscape lights. Another child (maybe 5) spent nearly an hour standing knee-deep in the pond in her sneakers, again with zero supervision. I don’t mind kids being kids, but when they’re totally unsupervised and destroying property while parents just zone out, it’s a whole different level. Add to that kids jumping all over the dock, it was pure chaos.“

“There is no better brunch menu on the south shore! Yaz’s Table is a truly unique culinary experience that will become your latest obsession.“

“Fabulous food! Great cocktails“

“We held the Pembroke Council on Aging's Volunteer Luncheon there on April 14th. From the start of planning to the end of the event Debbie and her staff were on point. Debbie was very easy to work with and I would go back there in a heartbeat.“

“We visited for the first time last night and I think it’s our new favorite! My kids LOVED the food-especially my 2yr old, he got the kids fish and chips! I got the half roasted chicken-oh Emmy goodness it was so good! Dessert was great too-baked apple pie! Yum! Staff was kind and attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“Great owners,great staff,great food, great prices,great atmosphere what else do you need ?!“

“Somewhere Else Tavern along Rte. 127 in Bryantville/Pembroke, Mass. I must say I've been at the building, since 2009 (15 years) when it was "Old School". It was a building then, a bar/restaurant of sorts, but now it is someplace special. Since Lori and Jayson, who also own the "Fork in the Road" delicatessen in Bryantville and the Olde Hitching Post restaurant in Hanson, took over the restaurant and renamed it, it is now a place for excellent food, beverages, and a wonderful, wonderful group of people, their patrons. What makes Somewhere Else truly special is that on almost every night, Jayson, Lori, or Lori's sister, Lee Ann, will be there taking care of their customers..... their friends. This past Sunday, was Lori's birthday and EVERYONE was included to celebrate her birthday, Chinese food (seemingly Lori's favorite), cake and ice cream shared with all. But best of all, was not the food, but the celebration of friendship.... Thank you Lori, Jayson and Lee Ann. For those of you who have not stopped by, do so. You'll enjoy your time at the Somewhere Else Tavern.“

“The atmosphere is cozy as usual and the food was amazing. I love the seasonal menu, I had the pumpkin soup and homemade butternut squash raviolis both were superb! The staff was friendly and attentive.“

“Where do I start!? I am from upstate New York and visiting my dad and wife and made it a point to go to E/2 and enjoy the amazing food and atmosphere. Charlie, the owner made one mean expresso martini. Our waiter, Eric was exceptional and was attentive. The Chef, George did not disappoint! Best scallops I've ever had! Pan seared monk fish with risotto was absolutely divine. My boyfriend the carnivore, enjoyed the succulent and savory tasting ribs that fell right off the bone. Thank you yet again for the amazing meal and great service. We shall be back soon!“

“We attended a reception last Thursday and I was SO impressed! The food was incredible (particularly the baked haddock and the Prosciutto wrapped chicken). The staff was pleasant and on point replenishing buffet items and clearing plates. I just looked at the restaurant menu...I wish we lived nearby!“

“Bia is one in a million. With a Cheers feeling. ❤️🎈🍸🍔“

“We went in at 5:45 on Saturday and got seated right away. Our server, Marina, was very friendly with a great sense of humor. She brought our drinks quickly and took our orders and brought our food out hot. We got the Smash burger and Cowboy burger and they were cooked just the way we asked. Looking forward to going back for the fancier entrees or one of the Saturday specials. Great job by all.“

“As a member of the Boston Vegetarian Society and a vegan for over three decades, I was delighted to discover delicious vegan options on the menu at the Sun Tavern. The culinary standout, smoked tofu, surpassed expectations with its extraordinary flavors and textures, while my wife Meg's pasta dish presented a delicate balance of hearty and fresh locally grown ingredients. Celebrating our 44th anniversary in such a charming ambiance was a true treat. The Sun Tavern’s commitment to delivering satisfying and robust vegan cuisine positions it among the finest dining experiences in the South Shore area, ensuring it takes a well-deserved place on the vegan-friendly epicurean map.

“Been coming to the The Beth several times and every time a positive experience. Great spot for dinner, lunch, snack, drinks or date night by the marina at the Shipyard in Hingham. Greeted by the hostess and sat down. Clean. Not too loud. Comfortable for conversation. Well lit nicely decorated. Chester our waiter was excellent. Courteous, professional, attentive, friendly and polite. Food was excellent. Delicious and prepared perfectly. Ordered the fish and chips, bbq smash burger, tuna nachos and classic hamburger. Will definitely return. Highly recommend.“

“Me and my beautiful wife got married there this past weekend and I can’t say enough great things about the Red Lion. The service was top notch and the food was amazing!“

“The music sucks. It affects my overall enjoyment of the meal experience. Why can’t you play classic rock which everyone can enjoy. You play computerized crap which appeals to no one .“

“I love eating breakfast at Easter's Country Kitchen. I used to go there around the holidays when my grandparents visited with my grandfather, brother and father, and other times with other relatives. Aside from the food prices increasing, the food has been excellent every time! Great job! Keep up the good work!“

“If you are craving a French dip, this is the place to go! It was SO tender, and the au jus sauce was not salty at all. Overall just delicious!! 😋“

“We LOVE Bongi’s. The pot pies are the absolute best. And the sliced turkey for sandwiches is also the best- the freshest anywhere. The staff is friendly and efficient. The turkey BLT is my favorite. But the turkey nuggets are also just delicious. Can’t say enough good things about Bongi’s♥♥“

“Delicious menu items.. the pear salad is delicious and a fabulous starter to share. I had the swordfish over the lobster succotash and it was fantastic.. the succotash alone would be a delight! Highly recommend and we can’t wait to go back. We ended with the flourless chocolate cake and it was perfect“
