10 Best American Restaurants near Wakefield

“Love the Pub! Great food, prices, atmosphere service has always been the best! The 2 white Retriever's out front are pretty incredible too!“

“Great food, slow service, but worth the stop\n\nWe were a group of five staying nearby and looking for a good local spot to get dinner before settling in. This place popped up with several great reviews, so we gave it a shot. The food definitely delivered!\n\nWe ordered the sampler (with double chicken tenders and potato skimmers), two orders of mozzarella sticks, and the mac & cheese with ribs. Everything came out hot and packed with flavor. We even got onion rings which we didn’t order but were happy to see. Total comfort food and worth the wait. I also had the Painkiller cocktail, which was strong but definitely hit the spot.\n\nThat said, service was slow across the board. It took a while just to get acknowledged, then more time to get drinks, even more for the food, and the bill took a while too. They were clearly busy, and our server Jen was friendly and attentive when she was with us, but the wait times added up.\n\nThe atmosphere felt very “homey” kind of like a small town hangout where everyone knows each other. As someone who rocks an afro, I definitely stood out, the place lacked diversity and that was noticeable. Still, we didn’t feel unwelcome, just very aware of it.\n\nOverall, it’s a cozy, homey spot with great food. Just go in knowing it might be a slow-paced experience, especially on a busy night.“

“The food is awesome and the cook-owner is a sweet guy. Friendly service.“

“We LOVE the food here! It’s not your average overpriced fast food restaurant. The dinners taste like something your grandmother would make in her kitchen who is also a professional chef. I also have to say that the server we always get there is so kind, helpful, and attentive! It’s my ultimate favorite restaurant!“

“Cute place, perfect menu for kids. Blt was yummy, bacon cooked perfectly, bread could have been a bit more toasted. Kid enjoyed the grilled cheese and hubby the steak and cheese. The staff was all super friendly and kind. The ice cream of course was amazing. Nice little place to stop in for a quick meal and dessert.“

“The food was delicious. The staff was awesome. We will definitely be back 😁“

“Best craft beer selection with excellent customer service. Stopped in yesterday to fill a big order for a party and not only did they have a wide variety but the knowledge from the staff was so helpful. I had a very basic list and they were able to help me navigate the list and provide a lot more choices! Please check them out!!! Thank you to the staff we will be back!“

“Great pub atmosphere with separate bar and dinner areas for quieter dining. Exceptional food at very reasonable prices. Pizza and wings are a staple and their extensive menu shows off many other outstanding dishes. Have been there dozens of times over the past several years and the service is friendly and terrific. While not a beer drinker, my friends rave about their in-house brews. Have never made it to dessert, but I'm told they are excellent! The attached Willy's Market showcases their sausages, meats, and sandwiches along with homemade salads and a Maine Agency Liquor Store.“

“We enjoyed a delicious lunch here, but unfortunately, my elderly grandmother experienced a medical emergency as we were finishing our meal and an ambulance had to be called. The entire staff was absolutely incredible during the situation — they immediately called 911, brought supplies to help care for my grandmother, and remained calm and attentive throughout.

Another guest, a nurse with 30 years of experience, kindly stepped in to assist while I waited for the ambulance. Multiple members of the waitstaff and kitchen staff checked on me to make sure I was okay and to ask if I needed anything. Their kindness, quick action, and compassion truly went above and beyond.

My grandmother is still in the hospital but is expected to recover. In the rush to follow the ambulance, I’m not even sure we cleaned up properly, but I’m deeply grateful for how caring and composed everyone was.

To all the staff working during lunch on 10/27 — thank you from the bottom of my heart.“

“This is a laid back restaurant that has picnic tables in a covered area outside and inside dining as well. Great for kids or if you brought your dog with you.

My lobster roll tasted great, but they weren't generous with the scoops of lobster.

The staff at the window were very friendly and helpful.“
