My husband and I stopped in tonight after driving by it dozens of times and hearing from a few friends about how good the food was. We were not disappointed! Our waiter was very attentive, informative, and friendly, and our food was delicious! I got the Railrider Wrap and my hubby got the Hobo Bowl and Carrot Cake, but there were many other menu options that we look forward to going back to try. This is is definitely a new favorite for us!

Pretty sure this isn’t my first review, but it’s definitely been a while. Just want to say every time we visit Steaming Tender it’s a wonderful experience both in the culinary sense as well as the atmosphere and friendly, well-trained service from your “conductor” (how adorable that they use that title).
In addition to all the menu favorites, there’s usually something new to try. Today it was Swedish chowder. It was amazing. Also so filling that I probably should have paired it with a salad rather than the 1/2 pound burger, but live and learn. Warning: lactose intolerant folks beware, lol.
My wife is kind of a picky eater, but always enjoys our Steaming Tender meals. Today she had the pork grilled sandwich.
Can’t wait for the next visit!

Steaming Tender exceeded my expectations big time! I've been wanting to go since moving to Belchertown in 2023 and now I'm kicking myself for not getting my butt there sooner! First of all, the vibes are so COOL. The old train station vibes and details are just amazing. And the waitstaff are called conductors and rock old school train overalls or jumper dresses and that's just so stinking cute. I love a good theme.
Sara G was our conductor and we adored her. She was so genuine and you could tell she cared - the girl memorized what seemed like an endless specials menu and dessert menu like a boss! She was so much fun and absolutely added to our experience. Shout out to meeting another Sara without an H (h's are ewwwww!).
But the FOOD! My boyfriend got the steak tips on Alfredo and the steak was the most tender, juicy steak we maybe have ever had. It was SO good. I had the whole belly clam special and while the clams were good, my side of mac and cheese was the star. It was so decadent and gooey and cheesy and rich and just what you want with a mac and cheese splurge.
Cannot wait to come back AND check out some of the awesome events and tours coming! Love to see this kind of stuff happening locally, it's a great area and we need more of this!!

This place is lively with the best services and food you can get. Even when busy they will have you wait in a waiting room and still serve drinks.

The place was unpleasant and seems poorly managed, and the owners were very unfriendly and unpleasant to me here. And very pricey

I ordered the special, fried clams, and there were so few clams for the $27 I paid. I was extremely disappointed as were the other 5 people in my group. Almost all of our orders were very small portions. I ate here a few years ago, and it was so much better. We won't be going back there again. The service and waitress were very good.
