49 Best American Restaurants near Mendon

“Returned to this gem, this time with my grandson and his hearty teenage appetite. We sat in a casual dining room with booths and lovely decor. One of things I love about this place is the variety of dining settings. The lounge is cozy, the casual dining room perfect for families. But there's also a more formal dining room, complete with white tablecloths. We were greeted and seated immediately this time. Our waitress was amazingly friendly and attentive. The kid's Sprite was more like seltzer and she replaced it Lickety-split, with a smile, and returned a moment later to ensure he was satisfied. We ordered an appetizer of Buffalo Chicken Tenders, requesting both ranch and blue cheese. It was a large order that we didn't finish, despite ravenous appetites. Our mail dishes arrived in a timely fashion, despite the restaurant filling up quickly. I had the Fish & Chips while my grandson ordered the Pilgrim Dinner. We were both very pleased and the bottomless pit took half of his home, declining dessert. This diner is very particular about her cake slaw and rarely enjoys it. I must say that I nearly licked the container clean. Be more thing - the bill didn't break the bank. I enjoyed a cocktail, we shared an app and had two delicious, generous meals for $57 - Hard to beat these days!“

“Absolutely love Galliford's! We have been many times. It's actually become a favorite birthday spot for our family!We had the Santa brunch here and it was phenomenal - hands down the best buffet we have ever been to!The standard menu is a bit limited but the quality is outstanding.“

“I've picked up food here twice for my wife. The proportions blew me away for takeout. Great tasting food, positive and friendly faces at the door. I love the joke that happens when I walk in to pay for the order, haha. I'm almost certain the dining in is 100x better than takeout. One of these days, we will find out. 10/10 recommend.Kid-friendliness: Family establishment, plenty of space, and the littles would enjoy it, hopefully (:Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, there are no steps to get in. It has a covered ramped walkway.“

“I know it’s hard to do, but maybe have traffic go through the side door and lock the door near the bar as every time it opened up the other night we would get a blast of cold air and it took while for it to warm up again, just a thought You probably can’t lock it due to Fire restrictions, but maybe put a sign to please use the other door it’s probably all true for when it’s hot outside in this air-conditioner on inside again just a thought“

“The best gastronomic experience!!!!! I can't say enough about this place! From the amazing staff, incredible, delicious food and the owner Maria, who is by far the best person!!! We drove an hour and a half to come here and it was so worth it!!! Our friends come here and we are so glad we came!! We will be forever customers!!!!“

“Love coming here! We regularly stop by for lunch and meats for grilling. Our experience is never short of amazing.We ordered prime rib for the Christmas Holiday - with a 'test' run the week before. Superette made it quick and easy!“

“What an incredible little gem tucked away in North Smithfield. The food was impeccable, the service was top tier, the drinks were delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy.Plenty of menu options to choose from, with multiple chef specials to boot. I chose a special the day we went - Pasta Davina. Generous portions, and priced fairly. I would go again in a heart beat, and can't wait to bring family and friends to this spot in the future!Dietary restrictions: A person in our party had a shellfish allergy - they accommodated this without hesitation“

“I just have to tell you the food is top-notch. They're very nice there their hospitable their courteous the food is top-notch the service is great. They bring the food to you after you place your order they don't give you a hard time. They are awesome and the ambience is so phenomenal. It's an awesome clean environment and I would give 1000 out of 1000 stars if I could and if you guys are seeing this, please give it a chance try it out cause, I telling you if I could give a lot of stars I would because this place is so phenomenal also want to add that people who say oh I won't be back because of the pickles that's ridiculous because you'd have to pay for if you were to go to a place that had him chips or desserts I mean come on there's enough negativity in the world we need to support one another and iPhone one would give 1000% of stars to this business so if you have nothing nice to say keep it to yourself because iPhone one love this place and they have great atmosphere great ambience great food in the services top-notch and they go out of their way to help you.“

“The food was great. The servers were friendly, and professional. A bit too noisy for me but we went in Saturday so I guess that to be expected. Drink were awesome but just a tad bit pricey. Thanks for an awesome experience! Will come back again.“

“Thought the waiter was top notch, we had 14 people in our party, a few provided feedback on what they ordered. The fish tacos were underwhelming, lacked flavor as did the chicken Marcello which was very bland. The fish and chips were a big surprise, large portion of fish, rather than the typical large portion of fries! My seafood with angle hair pasta was good, but a bit too much oil, and scollops were slightly over cooked, but I would order it again.“

“Food- great breakfast spot, quick polite service , excellent coffees, Service - waitress was very attentive and accommodating. Ambiance- Home feel , the feeling is like being in Mom's kitchen . Ample parking. If a quick breakfast that delicious I recommend this spot.“

“Judging by my own experience and those who formed a line before and after me, this place is popular and has a significant amount of repeat customers (many called by name). Friendly, personal, service. Great hot dogs with numerous toppings.“

“Such great personable people that work here, it was a very fun atmosphere. The food was awesome, especially the crab egg rolls and enchiladas they had on the hot plate. Subs are top notch in addition to the antipasto salad, packed full of great deli meat.“

“We recently stopped by the new, larger location of Beef Barn. The interior has expanded significantly, offering plenty of seating while maintaining the charming, rustic atmosphere and small-town feel. They continue to serve up the best roast beef and pastrami sandwiches, all at very affordable prices. The staff is friendly, and the service is fast.“

“I like it!!!!! They were busy, but the staffs were kind and helpful! When we finally got our table, the waitress was like superwoman, who remembered all our order with special instructions without writing things down! How ? I'm still amazed by her ability! Their food was great too! Half spoon special, and My husband had Denver omelette, which is a fancy name for western omelette! That was more than great for beautiful breakfast. The place was also very clean and cozy! I am going back again for sure!“

“Great food, great value. The Cod Bruschetta and the New England Cod are outstanding! The Cod is fresh, the green beans are crisp and the mashed potatoes are pure comfort food. Everyone who has joined us at Black has really enjoyed the food, especially the sweet potato fries. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable.“

“Family friendly restaurant in a strip mall area off the highway. Super convenient for the indoor sports place next door as well.Food was yummy. Drinks were good. Wait staff was really pleasant and kind to our kids.Will come back if in the area. Stopped for lunch after Southwick Zoo on our way home.“

“Me and my wife moseyed our way to a new restaurant this weekend and wow was I impressed the food wasn't the spotlight but dam was the service was out of this world. There was a amazing worker that was pre bussing our tables like no other. I saw him buss a table in under 30 seconds with such precision he needs a raise. We had to ask for his name. Nick godam Mate needs a raise and our server Jess was alright.“

“My father had seen a feature on Chronicle about The Beef Barn and how they had not raised their prices in the recent years, and we just had to try it. We actually drove fairly far to get to the Bellingham location, but it was extremely worth it. The food was really high quality, and the service was incredibly quick. I think they could easily charge $6-7 for each of these sandwiches and we'd still think it was a great deal, but the fact that they haven't raised their prices is all the more reason to keep coming back. Turkey Burger ($4.75) - I didn't actually order this, but both my mother and my partner got it and I ended up having a few bites. The actual thickness of the patty was quite substantial, and my mother actually had trouble finishing her portion because it was so large. The patty was juicy and had nice grill marks on it that tasted of being on the barbecue, and it was an extremely well made burger. Next time I stop by , I'm definitely making this - the meat was really well seasoned and the ratio of meat to veggies to bun was spot on! Fish Sandwich ($4.50) - This was probably the most average of the 3 sandwiches, but for $4.50, it was still an excellent piece of fish with some nice veggies on a bun. The fish itself was a chunk of fish (not ground up like fish sticks), and it was nice and crispy. It was also large enough to cover the whole bun so can't complain here. Roast Beef ($4.75) - This was by far the highlight of the evening - the roast beef sandwich is absolutely to die for. The meat was so incredibly beefy - it tasted like actual beef instead of processed lunch meat, and it was so thin and soft that you didn't even have to chew it very much. Honestly, I think I would be able to eat this with just my gums. The meat was melt in your mouth delicious and tender, and the 3 oz. feels like enough to fill the whole sandwich, which was something we were worried about at first. I truly can't believe how delicious the meat was, and the roll was nice and fluffy as well. I would get this every day if I lived closer, and the price can't be beat. All in all, this is a stunning 5/5 stars. All of the sandwiches were great, and the price is amazing. We were able to feed 4 people for just around $30 and all of us were stuffed at the end of the meal. And not only that, the ingredients are incredibly fresh and flavorful. This is a gem of a find - definitely stop by if you are in the area (and make the trip if you are not!)“

“My wife and I had dinner last Friday. We both ordered fish and chips. The last visit we had chicken parm. The food is always good. The prices are surprisingly low. The daily specials are a really great value. Tried the fried eggplant sticks and they were awesome. This is a neighborhood restaurant with a large bar on one side and a family restaurant on the other side. Something for everyone.“

“Update: My wife and I got married at Wrights this April. We can't recommend it enough! The affordability is unmatched, and they do a great job dressing up the room. We ended up having the ceremony inside due to rain and it was still so beautiful. Roger was so great to work with throughout the whole process. He guided us throughout the day and kept us on schedule. We got a lot of compliments on how good the food was!Yummy yummy! A favorite for my family--you get so much food for such a decent price. The chicken is fall off the bone--so tasty! I could eat an entire basket of bread rolls myself.The gift shop is nice to browse too.“

“Best food ever! I've been going there for years. Very child friendly. Good portions. Nice stuff. Good prices and a delicious menuParking: There is always plenty of parkingKid-friendliness: They have kids menus. They have plenty of high chairs extremely friendly“

“I got to say the first couple of times my service was so bad I walked out I gave them another chance the last time I went was the best service I had ever seen and after I ordered my food ..it was really less than 10 minutes and the food was great I'm glad I gave this place another chance it was totally worth it“

“After arriving in Boston Logan airport, we hopped in our rental car and were pretty hungry. We started looking for restaurants close to our driving route, and Cheesy St. Grill came up with some really great reviews. I admit the location may not be fancy near the gas station and service plaza/roadside stop, but I can tell you this is a spot you don't want to miss! Chantaly greeted all the customers with a smile, and she kept the short line moving right along with great efficiency. She helped us decide which grilled cheese sandwich variation we should try. I had the Caprese with both pesto and balsamic spread, and I was a little worried it would be too messy or saucy but it was perfect and amazing! My son had the daily special with boneless beef short ribs and grilled onions. She makes each sandwich to order so you can adjust the choice of bread or any of the ingredients, and she presents it fresh off the grill, hot and fresh. The most popular sandwich we saw several folks order the one that includes their amazing Mac & cheese that is actually spread inside the sandwich! I think you may not be able to go wrong with anything here - I wish I lived in the area. The seating area was very clean, too. Highly recommend you swing off the turnpike and enjoy a meal here!“

“First time with family, which frequently goes to Red Rock. The food was great. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with my daughters allergies. Hopefully, we will be back often, summer outside, seating on the water and volleyball ?.Dietary restrictions: Very easy to accommodate dietary requests.Kid-friendliness: Very helpful with my daughter's allergies.“

“The food is good, steak and cheese sandwich is my go to it's delicious! I come here for trivia ,which is fun, but lately you get excited to compete and win, only to discover there are no prizes, or it's beads/koozies they got for free from beer vendors. Every other restaurant trivia gives gift cards, even just $10, to keep you coming back. As a result, my whole team is adamant about finding a new place to go instead, which is sad bc the food here was good??‍♀️ !“

“Fresh food and drinks the staff is amazing and always a good time. There is a morning rush, so make sure you're early. Then there is a 45-minute break till lunch starts. If you have more than four people, I suggest you call ahead to avoid the wait and to make sure you can be seated.“

“Small tavern, with friendly staff and really good eats! Seriously, the chicken wings, bone in, not frozen, crispy, not greasy and tender, juicy, bites! Various sauce combinations, I dipped in the honey, mustard! Yum! Mushroom, Swiss burger, cooked perfectly as requested medium rare! Now, I need to know... how the heck did you get those fries crispy outside, potato fluffy inside and not greasy! Damn good! Simple bar setup, TV's to watch sports and movies. Music box, darts and tables for a dining experience. Totally recommend to check it out! I'm working my way through their menu and have a feeling it won't disappoint!“

“We’ve been coming here for breakfast a couple times per month since we moved to Blackstone two years ago.The food is always great and reasonably priced, with friendly service, and a good selection of items. The location is easily accessible with ample parking.We’ve never been disappointed about anything we have ordered. Highly recommend.“

“Had lunch with family here. Heard the fish and chips were good. Brother and SIL order it and raved about it. Looked good. I had a chopped salad with a scoop of chicken salad on top. It was OK. Service was quick and friendly. Decor was typical diner. They serve breakfast all day which is good. Only take cash, but have an ATM inside.Parking: In a strip mall. Plenty of parking.“

“A local dive watering place. Visited for lunch and it was hopping. The bartender/ waitress was awesome. Attentive to her bar and her table guests. The broccoli Cheddar soup was tasty and a good start to lunch. The taco salad was basic but good. The taco shell was crispy and not oily- awesome. I did add some ranch so it was not dry- highly recommend. Overall a good lunch and suggest you give it a visit.“

“Tina is an absolute DOLL!! I love this woman's energy, and her obvious love for what she does!! Walking through the door is like entering narnia, the whole vibe is like instant family, warm and welcoming and makes you never want to leave! I am addicted to their garlic hot tenders, but i have never been disappointed with anything i have ordered, its always delicious! The pudding cups are always delicious, and ask what the current special drink is because its ALWAYS delicious!LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!“

“Always get the chicken on salad with red bell peppers, edamame. Dressing on the side... Can be really overpowering, but never disappoints. Consistently good burgers. Husband tried appetizer tacos as main meal.... Loved them, just enough food ...“

“Danny's is a Woonsocet Staple, and the quality of the product has remained the same since its opening. Anyone who went to Woonsocket High School in the early mid 2000s knows this was the spot to go to cause it was good and not expensive. They have kept that model alive all these years. The staff is friendly and the owner does all the cooking. I personally think they have the best homefries in the state. Gotta love Dannys“

“The food and coffee quality are much improved since this place was purchased by the owners of Blue Moon. The muffins are fresh now and no longer neon colored. They have also done a nice job of renovating the place. The bagels are smaller than they used to be, though.“

“My recent first visit to lunch at Mendon Street Kitchen in downtown Uxbridge, Massachusetts was a delightful experience. We took our two grandchildren. The outside dining area has great atmosphere with umbrella tables and fun decorations that appeal to adults and children. Our grandchildren loved the grilled cheese with bacon sandwich. My lobster roll was delicious, and my wife enjoyed her BLT sandwich. I learned that Mendon Street Kitchen is a proud sponser of "First Night," a huge Christmas parade in downtown Uxbridge each December. Mendon Street Kitchen is a wonderful boutique eatery. My compliments to the owner chef.“

“If you like spicy food the Biscuits and Gravy are a must have item. I am also obsessed with their banana and peanut butter pancakes and the red bliss potato side.Parking: On busy days it can be hard to find parking, but usually there are a few spots open.“

“I have to tell you, all the food is awesome. My family and I order from here often. I play in a hockey league twice a week and alot of the league members look forward to going to the Western afterwards, wether we win or lose. The restaurant and bar in great to unwind with all the league players, have a couple drinks and eat some pizza and and wings. All the food is fantastic but hockey night is pizza and wings, LOL. Get the pepperoni well done, I love it, this is not fast food pizza, one pizza can feed a family of 3 to 4, just so you know. It gets busy some times on the "hockey" nights when we are there but the staff goes above and beyond to accommodate everyone, sometimes the server is alone in the bar by herself, tending to the tables and the bar because the kitchen staff is overwhelmed from all the ordering, in the restaurant and take out yet they all make everyone feel welcome. Particularly Jessica, who works there almost every time we are there. Thank you to the staff and owners for making our nights even more enjoyable. Steve.“

“A lovely place for lunch or dinner, beautifully decorated with a smooth, relaxed vibe. The staff were attentive and welcoming and the food was amazing! I ordered the tuna tartare and it was amazing. Sliced tuna pieces were surrounded by cucumbers, an avocado cream sauce and a delicious spicy sauce, very much like a spicy mayo, served with wontons. I would recommend this to anyone who appreciated sushi, especially. My friend had a cheeseburger, which was made from perfection, medium rare. This place must be experienced.“

“It was are first time at 118 Main St Friday at 5:15pm. We sat at the bar they give you crackers with spreadable cheese. Homemade Sour mix for Margaritas absolutely delicious and started with grilled kielbasa appetizer. I ordered Grilled Elk special was fantastic the wife had their Squash Raviolis the sauce was delicious. The service was exceptional bartender new her job with a packed bar. We didn’t have deserts but there ice cream ball covered in chocolate served with whip cream looked good for next time…“

“Found my new breakfast place! First time ever trying it and it's a hidden gem for sure. Breakfast was excellent!!?I'm a tough critic when it comes to home fries, which at most places are bland. These were so flavorful!! And the bacon was perfectly thin and crispy. Corned beef (not pictured) was so good!! Everything just right!!Parking: Plenty of parking“

“Legends is located in the DoubleTree hotel where I'm staying. I decided to try the fish and chips based on other reviewers and was not disappointed. Beautiful fish fillet fried to perfection and some of the best fries ever. Service was prompt and friendly.Parking: Hotel had plenty of parking“

“my family and I ordered 2 pizzas and the North Shore Roast Beef - everything was great. light, airy crust - fresh ingredients....when you walk in, you order at the counter, and they come find you when the food is ready. it wasn't too busy, and they served us in about 15 minutes... they also didn't complain about my kids running around like jackals by the video games, so that was nice too.The manager came over to ensure everything was satisfactory - asked for some feedback and if my kids were happy... they sure were, thank you.no qualms from this customer, and I'll definitely be back - they just purchased the space next door, and will be opening sometime soon.... looking forward to it!saw a few complaints on here exclusively about sandwiches.... mine was fine, and I'd highly recommend trying the pizza when visiting a "pizza kitchen" ? just a thought!“

“Food was great, I had shrimp scam.pi and UT was very good! they had live music which was also great! Staff was friendly but slow due to being short staffed, overall I would recommend & go back!!Wheelchair accessibility: Had a ra p for wheelchairs“

“Anthony's on the Green is a true town gem. My family have enjoyed dining there for years. Nice to sit on the outdoor porch. We have been to several events there, but most recently a ran a fundraiser. Mike and his team are amazing to work with. So accommodating, quick response, and the kindest people. I would recommend Anthony's on the Green for a meal, or an event. Thanks Mike!!“

“It's a small place so the bathrooms are cramped. They also don't serve food, only drinks. But they did order pizza when we went there and fed everyone so that was cool. They have great decorations. This place is awesome for live music.“

“Came here for the first time over the weekend and the food was delicious! Tender ribs, I really liked the sauce and the portions were generous. This cornbread is probably the best cornbread I've had; sweet and grilled with cinnamon butter! Service was consistent. I'll certainly be “

“Great place to meet up with friends! Friendly bartenders and generous pours! Great food and drinks at reasonable prices. Recently remodeled bathrooms, new floor, tables, bar stools and bar surface. Love this place! It’s not “fancy,” -just a nice, local bar with lots of repeat customers! There’s always a familiar face!“

“Alittle subdued but comfortable.Fish n Chips had too much batter than usual. Fries were good, Cole slaw wasn't bad. Service waitress with tattoos was very pleasant and accommodating. My first time dining here and I'd return.Parking: Good...“
