48 Best American Restaurants near Shirley

“Delicious food and drinks. great service and location.“

“What a wonderful spot to grab a meal. We had about a 20 minute wait because we did not have a reservation but it went by quick. The restaurant is a bit on the rustic side but it had a ton of charm. While we waited for our meal we were serenaded by a gentleman playing the piano. For our meals I had the small prime rib served with mashed butternut squash and my girlfriend had the turkey dinner. The prime rib was so flavorful and cooked perfectly. We absolutely loved this place.“

The friendly staff ensures you feel at home, making it the perfect spot for enjoying good food and creating great memories with friends and family.“

“We are an entertainment service company that specializes in small ensemble/DJ combos. We performed at our first wedding at The Herb Lyceum in early October and were blown away. First of all, the garden and grounds are LOVELY, the food is OUTSTANDING and the staff were all WONDERFUL. Everyone there was friendly and professional, and truly allowed us to do what we do best, and we felt fully supported to do our jobs. Often with outdoor venues, we have issues with power, but not here! We had ample power for the ceremony, dinner reception and the dance party under the tent, running some heavy wattage sound and lights. We very much look forward to coming back to do more events in the future!“

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

“The food is so good and the service is very nice and the employees are nice“

“Always fantastic food in very special old New England building with wonderful interior, lighting and terrace. If you’re looking for a special setting for a special meal this is unbeatable in the area.

My recommendation is to do a wine tasting before 5.30pm when that closes, to decide your favorite wine, then go to dinner and order a bottle.“

“Pretty woman and local legends“

“Love the local musicians every Friday night! SUPPORT LOCAL!“

“My colleagues and I visited this establishment directly following our performance at GrotonFest, which was held nearby. The staff was very courteous and obliging. Lauren, our server, was particularly pleasant. We shared some lighthearted conversation, and our food was served promptly. The meal was substantial, the staff was friendly, and the view was extraordinary. The Rusty Randoms highly recommend Forge and Vine!“

“Enjoyed a flight of craft beer and a delicious Lobster roll with excellent coleslaw. One small criticism. Didn't want fries (although my wife got them with her excellent haddock plate and they were very good) However, I wanted onion rings and had to order them as an appetizer and there were just too many so most went to waste. Clean and bright atmosphere, friendly service as well.“

“David and Diana are fantastic addition to Stevie's Café & Catering - Littleton, MA ! The food is made fresh to order. They are happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies. The food comes out fast and fresh.“

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

“Birthday celebration at Brady’s. Chef brought out a 4 week aged Tomahawk steak for the birthday boy. Brian took excellent care of us and made most of our meal/wine decisions, which I appreciated. The best dessert - toffee top pudding. We will be planning our next event here“

“Nice dinner here, they’re friendly and capable of hosting large parties. I recommend ordering any meat a bit prematurely cooked than you actually like it. Besides that, dinner went great, their shrimp cocktail and beer selection is top tier.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“My family stopped by for dinner last night. The food and drinks were delicious and the service was great! The owners were very personable and welcoming. We will definitely be back!“

“well i have not been to an applebee's in many years but decided to try....i was pleasantly pleased...ate at the bar and service was friendly and efficient....drinks (theirs, off the menu) were good....pretzels as an app were excellent and both of us enjoyed our meals, we had the big cluck chicken sandwich with a side caesar (which was far larger than i expected) and the cheese burger ( cooked as ordered)...both were very good....inside was pleasant and got pretty busy after a while....liked it!!“

“This is definitely a find. Ambience, food and service were impeccable. We could not have been more pleased with absolutely everything. Fresh onion bread made daily was a treat. Reasonable pricing and the staff from when we entered the door until we left could not have been more helpful. Also, restrooms were immaculate. Can not wait for an excuse to go back.“

“This place is amazing. Their meatloaf is a slice of heaven. I’ve been on the search for an amazing meatloaf for quite some time now and this place knows what they’re doing. My fiancé had a blueberry, bacon, jam, goat cheese, and turkey grilled cheese. Sandwich was huge and she loved it. Amazing service and great place all around. Can’t wait to get back there. There’s nothing like a restaurant that takes their food, their service and their quality very seriously.“

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

“Great Food! Great Staff! Great Value! Great Experience Overall!“

“Brenna and Lisa were warm and welcoming. One of the kitchen members came over to see if we wanted to box up our left overs. The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was so much fun. What’s better than playing Keno, having a cocktail, and eating great food with your best friends listening to the juke box? Can’t wait to come back for more!“

“We had such a great time there. Riley our waitress gave us exceptional service. She's an asset to your business. The cocktails were great... Food tasted really good... loaded baked potato was so good... we will definitely be back for more ❤️“

“I live like an hour and a half away from this restaurant, I was here for a hotel stay, and we(my family and I) went here for dinner, and it was the best food we’ve ever had. My brother had the steak and it had butter on it that was just mouthwatering. My mom had cheese burger sliders and she said that the serving was perfect, and they were just overall delicious. My dad had the ribs, and he said they were the best ribs he’s ever, and each rib had a lot more meat on it than he had expected. Both me and my father had the Cajuns sides(fries/tater tots) and they were perfectly seasoned. Me and my sister had the Mac and cheese, I couldn’t finish it the portion was so big, but my sisters was a smaller portion and it was perfect for her because she finished all but like three bites. Not only was the food delicious but the wait staff was incredible. They were so polite and on top of things, and our drinks were always full. One of the wait staff, I didn’t get her name, had moved around the table to be near my brother when he ordered because he was a little nervous. The food came out very quickly and the atmosphere was incredible, as well as the fact that the place was over all very clean. Honestly the best dining experience I’ve ever had.

Kid-friendliness: My little sister wanted the Mac and cheese, but it only had the adult size, but they gave her a smaller portion for a less price, amazing for her.“

“Our 1st visit...won't be our last. Our server was Sarah...FABULOUS young lady. The meals were delicious. Baked Haddock made MIL very happy as it was the best she has ever had AnYwHeRe. I absolutely encourage people to try this place if they haven't already. Spacious dining area, not loud echoes like other 'factory' sites. Food is great.“

“We have been in search of a good pizza place that delivers for a long time and ordered Roasted Peppers on a whim. It’s our new favorite spot and we haven’t been disappointed yet. I’m not sure if people know about this hidden gem so I had to stop by and shout out!“

“We got the steak tip and the kids fried haddock.. Yummy yummy yummy. Our waitress was fantastic, and the food was delicious. One of our best eats. I highly recommend trying this place out a few times over. Fast service on a Sunday afternoon. We will be back

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a slight hill, however everything is accessible.“

“Try the Chicharrones, the Mofungo Platter, the Empanadas, my wife loves the rice and beans. Always good, always warm, always fast. Its addictive!“

“Went here with my family for dinner on 1-16-2025. Haven't been to a LongHorn Streakhouse, In a few years. The first thing we noticed was that their bread changed. Completely different bread extremely different. The bread from before was like a Dark Rye or Pumpernickel or Somewhat of a Sweet Tea and was absolutely delicious. This bread had little to no flavor and was extremely hard to cut also ( NO BUTTER KNIFE'S) in the entire restaurant. Found that to be quite strange. Our meal was ok. The steaks were quite a bit tougher meat and a little more seasoned than I remembered. However, they were cooked to order. The overall experience was find for my family just lacking those few things. It was not quite the same as it once was from a few years back.“

“I cannot thank the wonderful people at the nashoba club enough. we did our pre wedding dinner there with my family. they were very accommodating, staff were great. I cannot recommend them enough.“

“We tried Columbia Tavern on a whim last night and the food was amazing! We had the nacho appetizer to start and everything was SO FRESH! I had the Honey Siraracha Chicken tenders and a Clam Chowder for my meal, both were to die for! My better half had the Columbia Burger- and this guy knows his burgers he grew up at a Black Angus cattle farm in Vermont-and he LOVED his burger. Atmosphere, staff, and vibes were all great, we even went back for brunch the next morning all the way from Westminster! Couldn't recommend this place enough. PS- personally preferred their food over Logan's Table.“

“I tried the pulled pork quesadilla it was aboustly delicious the portion size was perfect a must try the staff is so friendly very clean so if your in Clinton mass stop in and have some wonderful food“

“Awesome Service especially if it’s our amazing waitress Nicole! Breakfast was also great. Thank you Nicole in these days excellent customer service is hard to find and I also it’s not an easy job! Thanks again for a wonderful experience.“

“They are always so friendly and never say no to my odd combination of menu items - everything is always fresh home made and ready minutes after ordering - always stop in when in area. Great value service and food must try“

“I visited Texas Road House, which I had not for a while because my experience the last time I went through four years ago was not great but going back today with my daughter and grandchild and Cese, our waitress was amazing very attentive very kind and respectful made it fun for my granddaughter great choice and hiring her she’s amazing.“

“the food was great however our waitress was not. the place wasn't busy at all and there were at least 2 other servers. after we finished eating it took over 20 minutes before we saw her again to ask for boxes and ice cream. when she finally came to us it would be another 20 minutes before we finally got tired of waiting and my husband got our own boxes and asked for the check. add more wait time and we decided to go up to the front where the waitress finally decided it was a good time to make our ice creams. we told her to just make them to go. the entire time we were there it was 2 hours! they did however take 25% off our bill so that was nice. I had 2 kids with me so they were getting very antsy as well. overall not a good experience.“

“My daughter loved the burger.“

“Awesome Service especially if it’s our amazing waitress Nicole! Breakfast was also great. Thank you Nicole in these days excellent customer service is hard to find and I also it’s not an easy job! Thanks again for a wonderful experience.“

“The food was great as was the service. Try the poutine! So good. The only drawback was that they had live music in the bar area and still had the music playing over the speakers in the dining area. A little too jumbled. Great place to try though.“

“The 3 for me deal is awesome.Started off with wings with hot sauce which were perfectly cooked and salsa and chips. We got 6oz sirloin steaks cooked to perfection, awesome loaded potatoes and broccoli which were plentiful and the Cesar salad and clam chowder were great. Had the cheese cake for dessert and it was a large delicious slice with strawberry preserve jam sauce. The place was busy but our waitress was very friendly, attentive and helpful.“
