50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Sterling

“Great food and gifts with unheard of low farmhouse prices. Phenomenal place to pinch your pennies 'till they scream.“

“The bagels are made fresh daily. They sell day old bagels for a discounted price. The eggs are not microwaved, and the meat for the sandwiches are not microwaved either. Everything is made on a short order grill. I drive 30 mins out of my way to have someone ride do it right. I have not found a place within Worcester County that does it this good.

“I recently visited family in Massachusetts and met with friends at Barber's Crossing in Sterling. I am 73 years old and have eaten out in many places. Over the last couple of years anyone that you speak with will tell you that the prices have gone UP, and the quality and Portion sizes have gone DOWN. THAT WAS NOT TRUE AT BARBER'S CROSSING DURING MY VISIT. I had to call my daughter and tell her what a wonderful meal I had. Every bite was just as flavorful and tasteful as the first. Even the mashed potatoes tasted fresh and homemade. Whenever I return to Mass for a visit. I will be sure to stop and eat there again. It was the best meal that I have had at a restaurant in years! The waitress was very friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was quite pleasant. But the food was exceptional. Keep up the great work in the kitchen.“

“Went for first time 3/3/24 and caught the end of the brunch buffet around 4pm. The food was flavorful, fresh, and overall excellent. Something for everyone in that buffet -it's not overly seasoned, and they had several deserts that use natural sweeteners (like dates and figs) with no added sugar. They keep the food areas very well attended and clean. I will be back again and again, what a great find!“

“Tried their #1 plate tonight! Excellent! I will most definitely be back again!“

“This has to be my favorite dining experience I can remember in New England. I had never had Korean food in a real dedicated Korean restaurant like this before this so I had no idea how many extras you get! So many delicious free sides with your entre. This is definitely a hidden gem and authentic. The wonderful woman who waited on me made me feel like family and was just delightful. The pricing is beyond reasonable. The food was fresh, portions were hearty, and every last dish was absolute heaven and the best POSSIBLE representation. Nothing let me down and it all FAR exceeded expectations. I don't really write reviews very often but honestly, this place deserves to thrive.“

“Uno de mis lugares favoritos y ahora aun mas, cuando puedo ir a comer con mi bebe de 7 meses y ella tambien disfruta de la comida y lo mejor es que le encantan los refritos(habichuelas)gracias por siempre tratarnos con tanto cariño. 100% recomendado no se arrepentiran“

“Best Diner there is , all other stink“

“Absolutely the best N. Y. Sirloin I have ever tasted. It was thick, tender and favorable, served with a chicken-of-the-woods reduction that was perfectly paired with the steak. Reservations are recommended and the place was full within the first hour of operation. It can be a little noisy, but that's to be expected for an restaurant that is as popular as Romaine's. Service was adequate and attentive for the Saturday night crowd“

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

“Tim’s Diner is absolutely fantastic! I had the brekky sandwich and it was super delicious—fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly THANKS KIM. You can really taste the quality and care in every bite. The service was excellent as well, friendly, welcoming, and attentive from start to finish. A big congratulations to the new owner and management team—you’re doing an amazing job already! Wishing you continued success, flying out back to Aruba but I’ll definitely be back again soon“

“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!!!“

“This is a really nice place in terms of environment, really warm atmosphere, you can feel like you are at your grandma’s house during the winter, that is how I was feeling.
The service is amazing, people working there is so nice, gentle and sweet. The drinks….. the drinks….. wine and beer are 100% local, home made, and those were just amazing. Different wines like red, white and sweet, all great. My concern, the menu. The have a very notable difference between the lunch menu and the dinner menu. Lunch is basically sandwiches, no too many options. Make sure to check the menu before visiting and make sure to go at a time according what you would like to eat.“

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

“(Translated by Google) Rich everything! Fresh and flavored. They hit her with the chicken skewer! I would go back several more times!!(Original)Rico todo! Fresco y con sabor . La pegaron con el pincho de pollo! Volvería varias veces más!!“

“I loved it here, the service was very nice the food was good, the seating and bathroom were also pretty accessible to larger bodies. We stopped in for brunch, delicious! Also, wasn’t as expensive as I thought it’d be. Found another sort of hidden gem in this area. Pic is some home fries with sausage patties, eggs, bacon, coffee, orange juice, some bread, and strawberry Nutella pancakes.“

“We tried Nani’s Pizza for dinner tonight and were pleasantly surprised, the red sauce was delicious! We ordered a large sausage and pepperoni pizza that had lots of flavor and was reasonably priced. We also tried a large steak bomb sub holding the peppers due to a food allergy adoing extra mushrooms. There were no surprise peppers and no need to try to find the mushrooms! We are happy customers and Nani’s will be our new go to for a pizza or a sub in Clinton, MA! The items we tried were excellent as was the value. Our first and surely not our last visit! A very welcome addition to Clinton.“

“Best Thai food outside of Bangkok...and now that i think about it, i like Similan better than any of the 15 restaurants i've eaten at in Bangkok.“

“If you’re looking for a true neighborhood gem, Spruce Street Tavern in Clinton never disappoints. I’m there often enough to call myself a regular, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The pizza is consistently awesome—crispy, flavorful, and way better than you’d expect from a tavern—and the drinks are always poured right. The service is exactly what you want in a local spot: friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming. Whether it’s a busy night or a quieter visit, the atmosphere hits that perfect balance of lively and relaxed. Spruce Street Tavern has become one of my go-to places, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommend!“

“Great Place!!!“

“Tiny, comfortable dining area. Friendly & helpful staff. The soups, sandwiches, paninis, salads & wraps are all delicious. Theweekly specials offer additional variety. The breads and baked goods are yummy. They offer coffee, tea, and espresso drinks. A lovely place to have lunch when in the Northborough area.“

“Whenever we are in MA, we always make sure to have dinner at this beautiful, historic restaurant. It's even more beautiful with a small snow covering.“

“What a fantastic gem of a restaurant.
The cute decor and homey feel was perfect. We arrived on a Saturday at 10:30am and it was packed, yet we only waited 7 min.
The waiter was very personable.
The Chocolate Chaud tastes like a melted fudge bar.
We had the potato leek soup, le burger with pork belly, crepes(arrived cold) and berries and duck potatoes(omg melt in your mouth).
I LOVE duck and it is very hard to find. Everything was phenomenal.
So why only 4 stars?
My one complaint. I got crepes and added strawberries. I expected to pay the $2. for berries. But they charged me an extra $1.85 for syrup! Not real Vermont syrup, but bottled syrup. There was maybe 2 tablespoons of syrup in the small metal container I was given.
I'm a chef at a breakfast restaurant. Syrup is a condiment. They don't charge for ketchup, so why syrup? And almost $2?! I could see if it was real syrup as an upgrade or something. I don't mind paying the high prices for the food as the quality was amazing. Worth it for the $27 burger! The soup? Some of the best potato leek we've ever had. But the nickel and diming just left us a bit disappointed after paying $6 for 6oz of OJ.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! Incredible service, both our bartender and waitress were funny, attentive, and personable. Our meals were fresh, drinks were delicious and beautifully crafted. Will definately be back again soon!“

“Hands down, the best pizza we have ever had. Made and delivered like a true greek family, this family owned business made us feel like we were at home! Unbelievable food. Highly recommended!“

“I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to a place we all know and love… Dean Park Pizza!! 🍕 I had ordered pizza from another shop in town for my son’s birthday party at school today because they had the option for delivery. When they driver hadn’t shown up 45 mins after the expected delivery time and the owner of the first pizza shop telling me “it’s not his problem” and hanging up the phone on me.. I called Dean Park in a panic because at this point I had a class of 20 hangry preschoolers that needed to eat and get to sleep. They not only made my 5 pizzas in 15 mins but gave my son a free bag of chips for his birthday!! The pizza was delicious as always but nothing compares to their customer service!! Thank you Dean Park!!!! 🤍“
