50 Best American Restaurants near Lancaster

“Best breakfast around !!! Great service and awesome food !“

“I’ve been regularly coming to this restaurant for the last 12 years or so. Brunch (not a buffet) on Sundays with friends is my favorite time. Also evening dinner with friends and my husband is always nice. Food, drinks and dessert are very good. Love the cozy Colonial atmosphere and historic aspect of the building. Staff is pleasant and helpful even when very busy. Sometimes there’s a piano player and also went for a blues night during the week in November. Such a treat!\nMy parents used to come here in the 70s, but the food is better now.“

“My wife and I just left Logan’s table and I have to tell you it was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time. I had the Ahi tuna meal and it was one of the best Ahi’s I’ve ever had my wife had the shrimp and scallop genovese and she loved it We will definitely be back great job by all and the service was also great“

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

“I want to give a shout out to Kennedy’s! I had my daughters 16th birthday dinner in the greenhouse! It was fantastic. The area that they transform into a winter wonderland is just amazing. Excellent food, service and atmosphere! It was truly memorable for my daughter!“

“The other night I several of my dance students went to Welly's. Everyone order different dishes, all were exceptional. Drinks were great. And our waiter was right on the ball, took good care of us. One of the best restaurants around. Outside sitting if you choose. Parking garage close by.“

“Another excellent dinner and amazing glass of peach wine. I had leek soup, pistachio coated salmon, and chocolate mouse dessert. My husband had short ribs and cheese cake desert. Wonderful server! Highly recommended ( but you need reservations).“

“We were traveling through on our way to Maine and stopped for lunch. The food was fantastic!!! The staff were very friendly! The cook gave us extra fish to share with our husband's. One of the owners came over and visited with us! I would highly recommend this establishment to eat at! 4 very satisfied customers! Best meal I have had in a very long time!! A very satisfied customer from Iowa“

“Both Sam and Jess are wonderful, personable servers with a warm friendly personal 5 stars!“

“Welly’s has that classic family-owned diner feel with comforting American favorites and consistently friendly service. It’s one of those places where everyone feels welcome, and the food always hits the spot!“

“outstanding! great food, service, and environment for a night off with friends.“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“Excellent burgers and or subs. I personally like his double cheeseburger it's honestly the best in Fitchburg. Very fast very reasonably priced. Most of all it's delicious!!! His truck very clean and very well established. He has a very close clientele that follows him.“

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

“Family friendly food in a family friendly atmosphere, a welcome addition to Boxborough’s otherwise nonexistent dining options. If you’re looking for a brewery, go to Dirigible. If you want better food, go to Oscar’s. But if you want somewhere you can enjoy a beer outside while your kids play games (corn hole, ping pong, shuffle board) with decent vegetarian options, then you’ve come to the right place.“

“We ordered the meatloaf wellington and the meatballs and gnocchi with a raspberry and house margarita. Everything was delicious. Waitress and other staff were so friendly and helpful. We will definitely return and make.this our new pick up to go spot.“

“Great Beer, Great Food and most importantly, GREAT STAFF! The front of the house staff has been there forever, and from a customer point of view, that means the staff gets treated well! Live Music on Fridays and Saturdays ! Don’t pay attention to the review from Patricia, live music is fun! Not annoying..it’s a pub after all

One of the first restaurants in Hudson and is still in business after 45 years which is incredible these days! Bar staff is great! Always treat us well when we come in :)

Great work ‘shoe crew! Keep it up!“

“Came to pit stop tavern with my friend and his son it was my first time coming here and our server Mariah’s customer service was amazing including her suggestion for chicken bacon and ranch pizza with a nice cold bud light from a fresh new keg that was just put in Would Definitely recommend this place and enjoy and if Mariah working request for her as your server“

“Very nice.. Great selection for breakfast. Fresh fruit to cooking anything you want. Nice for people that don't like a buffet style breakfast. Very clean and service was great. Something's I can't not eat and there was no problem finding something because they have so much to choose from.
Just great all the way around !!!!“

“Occasionally we catch up with dear friends at the Berlin, MA location. Hospitality and service have been exceptionally kind here on every visit. Special shout out to Becca for being so attentive on our most recent outing. Really made our day.“

“ok, so I'm not sure what happened tonight, but a far different experience from a few weeks ago. Then Iwas impressed with service, food, cocktails. the whole experience was just wonderful last time. after that girls night out, I raved to hubby "we got go there!" I work in Leominster, but live 45 mins away, so we usually dine out more local to home. Tonight started with an espresso martini...well, they've decided to top it with a cold foam type of topping. so the whole top have inch of the glass is foam, not beverage. martinis are expensive, a martini should be brim full, disappointed and felt cheated for the price. I ordered their boneless "jumbo chicken wings". turned out to be 6 little chunks of chicken, not much bigger than mcnuggets, and they were way over cooked to the point they were rock hard. I had to discreetly remove some from my mouth because they were beyond rock-hard. a dining companion in the group had the same experience with hers.the sauces I chose to accompany were tasty, but they didn't do much to help the chicken. the female bartender was great, attentive, and happy. wish I could rave, but not this time sadly.will try again because I don't think this was normal“

“There’s always a first time, and for me, it was at this 99 Restaurant in Hudson. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Locals (and yes, I’m using the word just to mirror how Americans affectionately refer to the rest of the world’s population in their native places) probably don’t need an introduction to this chain. But for anyone unfamiliar, think of it as a Chili’s with a bit more dining space beyond the bar or an Outback without the grilled steaks.

The food is solid, with comforting options that cater to hearty appetites. I was curious about what sets 99 apart from similar chains like Applebee’s, and the answer I got was simple: “They think they’re better and charge more.” While neither is glaringly obvious, the menu does offer a few standout dishes, like the Shepherd’s Pie - a refreshing option compared to the usual burgers and fried food lineup.

Next time, I’ll try sitting at the bar - it looks like the kind of spot where this place really shines. For a casual, satisfying meal, 99 in Hudson is worth a visit.“

“I took my bestie here tonight and had the ABSOLUTE best time!!! The food was amazing (we both use the gluten free menu!!!) the atmosphere was so wonderful and the service was just so beyond!!! Amara was truly one of the BEST servers I’ve ever had-so very kind and attentive and helpful with making everything so perfect and then I believe her name was Camille-came to let us stay longer allowing our wonderful Amara to go home-something I thought was just so very thoughtful & kind-our family has been in the food industry for years and these ladies along with the manager were among the very best I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by!!! 100% will be back and I give this my highest recommendation!!!“

“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.“

“Enjoyed every bite of fish & chips/onion rings. It came out fast and hot. Waitress Lilly was very attentive and we definitely will be back.“

“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 .“

“Jake’s is a classic Marlborough staple with dependable coffee and delicious breakfast. With a welcoming, down-to-earth vibe. It’s perfect for a casual stop where you’re always greeted like a regular.“

“Food is fabulous. Service is outstanding!“

“The food and service is superb!“

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

“I only found 2 vegetarian options besides all the salads. Fajitas or tacos with no protein. But I want more protein. It would be easy for them to just have something frozen and microwave it. Like a burger. Service and food tasted good though.“

“Thank you to Bolton Street Tavern who hosted the most beautiful celebration of life. The food was delicious and John and Sharon made sure that each and every guest there was taken care of. The setting was perfect with the beautiful lake in the background. And even the downpour of rain that passed by did not bother a soul as it was all covered. Lovely spot, great food, and most of all amazing staff! If you have not been there you must check it out!❤️❤️❤️“

“I want to make some suggestions rather than saying I do or don’t recommend this place. I’m familiar with Pepper’s, and I like to support hard-working chefs, especially when they use local farms and vendors. The overall concept of self-service is fine, but I preferred the table service of the old restaurant. It felt a little more closed in, and I also don’t like the paper plates, cups, and plastic utensils. Real utensils were available, though. The salad choices looked really healthy and colorful, and the menu was certainly varied enough. I saw a frittata being served and it was the size of a half piece of pie, though it looked good. My friends and I opted for soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, thinking they would be more like upscale comfort food. Two of us had the bacon-tomato version, the other had the mushroom. Since they were pre-made, then popped in a convection oven, they were more like melted cheese on dry, light toast, versus the buttery, golden goodness that makes a grilled cheese what its name implies. The portion was small and the fillings meager. If the idea was to make it a healthier grilled cheese, even a drizzle of olive oil might help. The soup was luke-warm, but tasty enough. We shared a dessert bar, which was delicious, with black coffee, which didn’t taste fresh like it had ben sitting a while. Be forewarned that if you pay by credit card, an automatic 15 percent tip is added, though you have the option to change it up or down, if you happen to notice it. There wasn’t much service involved, and you clear your own table. My portion alone, which included the sandwich with chips, a cup of soup, dessert bar, and coffee, plus added tip came to just under twenty dollars. I would give it another shot, but there is room for improvement. We all agreed that the dining experience was at a grade of about C+. Wishing you success in the future... Hope this helps.“

“Milford - First time in, did not love what I ordered and not only was it taken off our bill, but the manager gave us a $25 gift card to come back…that’s excellent customer service which impressed us. Flatbread was excellent, waitress was very kind and attentive and lots of local teens working which was really nice to see. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

“The best place I love it and the people that work there to very professional tooo 🙏🙏❤️❤️“

“We live near by and friends have been telling us to go here for pizza. We finally stopped in for dinner and we were glad we did. The waitress was so friendly. Her reccomendations were spot on. My husband's martini was perfect. Really enjoyed the patty melt and the pizza was the best we have had in a long time. We will definetly be back!“

“We brought three generations to Special Teas to fulfill my mother’s wish to have tea with her daughters and granddaughter. It was a lovely way to spend a fall afternoon. The service was fantastic and staff were very attentive. The variety in teas allowed everyone in our group the opportunity to experience unique tea flavors. The food and desserts were phenomenally delicious and traditional and paired well with the tea fare. Thank you for giving us a wonderful afternoon and a memory that will last a lifetime.“

“We come here often and appreciate having such a great restaurant nearby. The extended hours also make it very convenient. It's definitely steps above most places in the area and VERY consistently reliable. Extensive menu and a nice wine list. Wonderful oysters. Great salads. Nice pizzas. Last night our table had lobster ravioli, roasted chicken, baked haddock, wedge salad, and a pizza. Everyone really enjoyed the food. Highly recommend this gem!“

“Very good service and my waitress was very helpful.“

“Haven’t been to Applebees in awhile. Meh, may be awhile again. Service was ok, food was fair and the drinks are measured.

The server was almost attentive but was missing at times.
The app sampler had one good item, the Wontons. Riblets were over sauced, more sauce than riblets.
The drinks are made with a shot glass, lots of soda.
The experience was ok but not something Im going to be going back for anytime soon.“

“They have excellent cheeseburgers.“

“If you aren’t going for breakfast/ brunch here on the weekends, you’re doing yourself a disservice. I will make it a priority every time I’m within a hour of the Hudson area. Small and quaint, you can feel the love when you walk in. Everyone was super nice. Value for price is outstanding. Everything I watched come out of the open kitchen looked mouth watering. I had the #27 rancheros with steak/ beef with well seasoned and perfectly cooked home fries with peppers and onions. I also got a side of their fried plantains. Also absolutely delicious, I’d give it 10 stars if I could !“

“Legends has a good vibe and great food to make your dining enjoyable. Great selection of beers and drinks. Good food and good portions with chalkboard specials.
The staff is attentive and very friendly. They are willing to accommodate special requests.
No loud music so you can always have a conversation while dining.
We go frequently and usually get something different each time, great variety.
Try Legend’s and you will be glad you did!“
