45 Best American Restaurants near Leicester

“This was a 10/10 hit all around! We were just leaving Boston with 5 hour drive ahead of us - Eller's was off our route a bit, but the only place with great reviews and a menu that suited all of us. We could not have been more satisfied with this experience! Portions were huge, food was fresh and well prepared, service was with a smile and super speedy. My favorite part was that you could tell the owner/s take a lot of pride in the quality of the food and the service! On a busy Saturday night, the owner was talking to customers and running food to tables right alongside his crew, and his wife in the kitchen - no surprise why everything was excellent with that level of involvement from the owners! The next time we are in the area we will make a point to return.“

“Been going there about twice a week for years happily but this menu change upsets me. They have eliminated all the club sandwiches altogether. We feel that this a basic menu item and will now look for other places to get them. If needed raise prices on a popular item like the 'club' sandwich, but should be left on the menu.“

“Absolutely love this place one of the best places I’ve ever been to the food is great. The service is amazing.“

“Exceptional in every way. Creative menu- both food and drink. The southern fried chicken was delicious. Bar service was too notch and the woman tending bar could not have been more attentive and pleasant. The food was out so fast I didn’t have time to admire the gorgeous woodwork that is the bar and shelving that frames it. Cozy, comfy, friendly and delicious. So good!“

“We had our wedding at Spencer Country Inn and I truly cannot say enough incredible things about the experience. From start to finish, Amy — the venue coordinator — was an absolute dream to work with. She was organized, reassuring, and genuinely cared about making everything perfect for us. She went above and beyond in every possible way. At one point, I was literally about to walk down the aisle without my bouquet, and Amy stopped me, sprinted back to my room, and got it for me — talk about a lifesaver! I handed her all of my décor the day before, and she set everything up more beautifully than I could have imagined. It felt like she pulled the vision right out of my head. The food was incredible — our guests are still talking about it. Between the amazing service, the historic charm of the venue, and Amy’s unmatched dedication, our day was everything we dreamed of and more. If you’re considering Spencer Country Inn for your wedding or any event — DO IT. And make sure Amy is by your side!“

“The owner Tony is such a beautiful and hospitable nice man. Waitresses and bartenders are super great! The food is always good Get the Bistecca meal!“

“we had dinner here tonight. we both had the bacon cheese burgers. we like ours medium rare which can be difficult to get. they were cooked perfectly and were excellent. out server, Scarlett, was great and made our day by telling us that her papa near had recently passed and how much my husband reminded her of him. the prices were good and we would definitely come back.“

“Our server john was so helpful and nice! He is professional yet fun. He even suggested the perfect wine for me...a person that had hated wine for over 25 years!
The food was great also, but John made my husband's birthday very nice.
Thank you John!“

“My Server John was fantastic. He was very friendly and attentive. He took my order in a timely manner and saw to it that my meal was served hot and as ordered. My Black & White Pizza was delicious and filling. I have been dining at the Black & White Grille for many, many years and have rarely been disappointed.“

“Amazing pizzas with great ingredients! Owner is so friendly and chatty! I go almost every week. Highly recommend!“

“This place has absolutely incredible food and the staff could not be any friendlier! Fresh is the name of the game at the Harvest Grille. Awesome entertainment on Thursdays through Saturdays.“

“I found myself in Worcester yesterday and searched for vegan food online and found Belmont Vegetarian among others listed. After seeing several pictures of dishes I decided to go! And I’m glad I did! Belmont Vegetarian (where everything is vegan) was delicious and in heaping portions. There’s a smaller (but still big) container for only $17 and change and a giant container (which I obviously got) for $19 and change. I got BBQ, mac n cheese, rice , beans, and chickpeas, and some sweet n sour steak. They also make their own delicious juice with sea moss. I got watermelon. The place is set up for takeout mostly with only 2 dining tables.Definitely worth the drive from NH!“

“Remains the best place to eat in all of central Mass. Great family restaurant operated by 2nd generation family. Top quality meals and good old down home service by friendly folks.“

“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.“

“Food was fresh and delicious, but I really wanna comment on our server, Shauna. She was always smiling and happy to serve and checked on us accordingly. Will be back ?“

“First visit to oxfords casual dining this past weekend in Oxford and absolutely not our last. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our waitress was super busy but took good care of us. Also got to enjoy some great music from The Drunken Uncles.“

“the tomato soup was so creamy and delicious! a must try!“

“Friendly owner and staff , with great atmosphere and good food“

“I’ve been coming here for over 30 years. Couldn’t even begin to count the times. I’ve never been disappointed. If you need your fried clam or scallop fix especially, you’ll get no better than Ronnie’s. Grab an order of fritters too to munch on. Just delicious. The near constant crowds have never lied!“

“I ordered for pick up and OMG, I loved it! Ordered the chicken over rice platter, and it was absolutely flavorful. The nuggets were great as well. The portions are great, I'll eat for two days 😋 definitely recommend and I'm definitely coming again. I recommend ordering directly there at the restaurant.“

“Good food and wonderful hosts“

“The food is so warm, comforting, and made with such care. The atmosphere is always festive. Employees and customers are always in a happy mood. The drinks are tasty, refreshing and full of spirit. The chips and salsa are a great start, but be careful not to devour them and spoil the appetite you'll need to tackle your main dish! You'll walk out extremely satisfied because of the wonderful food you consumed. But, you'll also be pleasantly surprised because Pepe's is the best bang for your buck in Worcester. Highly recommended!!!“

“Had Mr. Beast today and it was awesome! will have this again.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We celebrated our 35th anniversary and my husband’s 56th birthday at Joey’s Bar & Grill in Worcester, and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond — multiple people came by to thank us for coming, especially when they learned we had driven two hours to be there. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and made the night extra special. Dinner started with warm homemade bread and oil for dipping. Scott had the braised short ribs, I had the steak tips with grilled veggies — both were absolutely delicious. We ended by sharing the most incredible strawberry shortcake with homemade grilled biscuits, lemon curd, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream (with a candle, of course!). 🍓✨ In a city with so many options, Joey’s was truly the best choice. We’ll definitely be back — even though it’s a two-hour drive, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“I had a delicious hot dog and fries from Major League Roast Beef & Wings in Auburn - the grilled, buttery bun and crispy, perfectly seasoned fries were a great combo.“

“We were just passing through today, as we don’t live in MA. Coming from a medical appt, we wanted to refuel before hitting the road again. We stopped into the Diner, 4 of us, hungry & ready to eat. We were pleased with the large and varied selection of food offerings. This alone would have made it a pleasant experience, but we’d also like to mention what made it fantastic. Warm customer service with a smile! Also, after learning more about this business, we see that they help their community with offering free meals on Thanksgiving and they also help those who are less fortunate. We also learned they are a well-known stop for essential workers, staying open even in difficult weather. We appreciate this, as our son is a plow driver and an essential worker. The portion sizes were more than adequate and the eggplant lasagne tasted like it came from a high-end restaurant. The only disappointing thing is that I wished we lived closer!“

“I went there after 3 or 4 years of seeing the sign. I finally decided to go in and I am beyond happy that I did!
The service was 10/10 the food was 200/10 and the whole experience was 1mil/ out of 1mil.. this place was absolutely amazing. I have never been treated so nicely from any restaurant.
I will be back over and over and over again! OHHHH make sure your dressed nicely! I was dressed like a bum but I was still welcomed with open arms!“

“N & J Donuts in Oxford is a hidden gem always fresh, fluffy, and full of flavor! The variety is amazing, and the staff is welcoming and quick. It’s our go-to spot for a sweet start to the day!“

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

“We’ve had consistently great experiences with our pickup orders thanks to Sophie L.! She is always so friendly and kind, even during quick interactions. She makes the pickup process smooth and easy, and we always receive exactly what we ordered. It’s clear she takes pride in her work and cares about the customer experience, even for takeout.“

“Sneaky sneaky good place. I was passing through and I'm so glad I stopped here. I had the Seafood Delight pasta. I haven't left an establishment so delighted like I have tonight in quite a while! Everybody is so nice! Don't sleep on this place!“

“Really good food and clean“

“Good food choices and kind & supportive people. I stayed here the last 3 nights so that I could be close to our elder Senior Mom in the Rehabilitation and Nursing Care Center after she had a health crisis. Every front desk person and staff person I have met has been kind, knowledgeable and has gone the extra mile for me to be comfortable and be able to get a little rest and nutrition. Thanks to all at Courtyard by Marriott Worcester.“

“We went for dinner last night & everything was delicious!!! Bill & Jannette were fantastic! Two of us had the veal, one had the seafood medley & I had the chicken salad wrap. We also got the tuna ahi appetizer & a complimentary amuse-bouche. We can’t wait to go back! If you haven’t been there yet, you’re missing out. Also BYOB which is great 🍻🍷“
