40 Best American Restaurants near Shirley

“This is four stars based on their great burgers. We drive 40 minutes for their burgers, past innumerable burger places. Particularly their black and blue burger, which offers real bleu cheese not just salad dressing, and a half pound of meat. Other food is pretty good; the burgers are awesome.“

“It was great. I saw a wonderful concert. The food was delicious, the staff was fantastic, and the event space was very nice. No complaints. There is always room for improvement, but I cannot think of anything specific, so 5 stars all around.Parking: I had no issue finding parking despite how busy the place was.Wheelchair accessibility: The building is old, so some doorways are a little narrow, but there are ramps into the front and up to the event space.“

“Always looking for a new breakfast spot. Happened to be stopped at the intersection of Center Rd & Main St when we noticed Tatlisata and decided to stop in for breakfast. Now we have two dishes we try at every restaurant. I tried the Hash & Cheese omelet and my wife's eggs benedict. Both plates didn't disappoint. The hash was homemade (which is a big plus) and the omelet was light and fluffy. My wife enjoyed her eggs as well as the hollandaise sauce. The service was great. We have now added Tatlisata's to our list of breakfast spots.“

“Everything was great so much delicious food and drinks!! Mother’s Day dinner was a wonderful time!! Rich was so sweet and made sure all was good treated us like a Queen! Will be going back soon!Parking: Plenty of parking in both lots and on the streetKid-friendliness: Kids menu and lots of dining space“

Very nice presentation.My wife had the chicken pot pie filled with chicken as she said.We were there on a Monday night, last night. Packed. To me. That's the sign of a great restaurant. A random Monday night in May to be filled.“

“I would definitely recommend calling ahead or reservations - it was very crowded and had a long wait for walk-ins. The wait was well worth it - we ended up sitting at the bar with great locals. The seasonable cocktails were fun too! The brick oven pizza was so delicious and the staff were so friendly and personable.“

“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“

I had the Ahi tuna meal and it was one of the best Ahi’s I’ve ever had my wife had the shrimp and scallop genovese and she loved it We will definitely be back great job by all and the service was also great“

“My first time eating here and it was great. Food, service, atmosphere were wonderful. My friend and I were there for at least two hours and never felt rushed. In fact, I water glasses were constantly filled. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant ???“

“Great food and even better service!!!“

“Great food Friendly environment Great service. Great people“

“We have been going to J's over the years and the food is always exceptional. My family went to J's for Mother's Day and I want to say that they hit it out of the park! Whrn there is a set menu and a busy day,as there was for Mother's Day brunch, I tend to worry if the food will be up to the usual standard in any restaurant. I have been to other restaurants for holiday meals where the experience was hurried, overcrowded and the food sub par. Not the case at J's! The food was amazing! Did not feel rushed at all. This restaurant is a gem!“

“An incredible dining experience! The food was beautifully presented and incredibly delicious! The staff was amazing and attentive! Outdoor cocktails and appetizers overlooking a beautiful landscape and warmed by a fire...just perfect! A special thank you to Derek who was extremely helpful and attentive!..“

“Best BLTs and coffee in town! Great atmosphere!“

“We went here with our kids to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed the open kitchen and seeing the working kitchen. They also had a kid's menu for coloring and to pick from. We had the charcuterie board, flat bread, cheeseburgers, and scallops. Everything tasted very fresh and the atmosphere with the rolling hills in the back was very nice. The only thing we would have liked to change is the wait on the food. The first food item took 40-45 mins to come out(which was the charcuterie board). With the kids(6,7), it was a little too long of a wait. Luckily the kids were able to eat off the board but we ate quite a bit of the board until the main meals came out. Perhaps next time though we would ask for the kids items to come out first.“

“Cravable food, awesome beer selection, super cool staff, great vibe.“

“Delicious! Has not disappointed yet….“

“Everything perfect. Everything is done correctly in house. Food is the best in town!!!“

“Just ordered 2 pizzas and a pulled pork poutine and it was amazing! We got the MASHachusetts pizza and it was so good! We will absolutely be ordering again!“

“Wow! This place is outstanding, in an area of New England where there are lots of good diners. The parking is always full, which tells you something right off the bat. Our server recommended one of their breakfast specials - Eggs Benedict Irish Style with sliced corned beef... I ordered that and was over-the-top happy with it. Cooked to perfection ??“

“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!!!“

“It is a welcomed sight in the neighborhood.I went here on Friday for lunch with my dad and it's a popular destination. We had a 21 minute wait to be seated and another ten before we got our appetizers. The food was delicious. The staff were all working really hard and we're very friendly. I am looking forward to going back again soon.“

“You can't really go wrong here. Service is always on point, the food is really good, there is a wide array of selections and thr portions are generous.For a chain restaurant, it doesn't really feel like it.My go to is the tonion, 7 pepper sirloin salad, and chowder. I really like ALL the options. So hard to pick just 1 meal.“

“1st time at the Townsend House. Great early Mother's Day meal. Family owned and yes the family was working!! Home cooked food. Baked stuffed haddock was delicious. Onion rings lived up to their reputation (freshly made). If you haven't been, put it on your To Do List!!“

“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.“

“We have been stopping here for breakfast a few times a month.The food is always very good, as are the prices. The owner & staff are friendly.But it goes beyond the food being good.Last visit after working a 12.5 hour shift, we finished our breakfast and when we were ready to leave found that the car would not start. While calling AAA the owner’s son and two customers came out to see if everything was ok & ask if they could help. They got us started.In a time when it’s hard to find a single person willing to go out of their way to help you we had three. Three people that we only know to say hi to when we see them in the restaurant. We do not even know their names.This is Clinton”s Sunshine Cafe. Not just great food and prices but friendly people that are willing to help you. People that make you feel welcome.I would highly recommend this place.“

“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.“

“Stopped in on a Friday afternoon . We ordered two beers which were ice cold! We ordered a cheeseburger with mushrooms and French fries , and a small eggplant sub , didn't want fries but wasn't told it come with onion rings too. Our food was delicious, waitress friendly . Too bad the place looks like a dive and the parking lot is a mess .“

“Great Little Roadside Dinner/Ice Creamery...The employees were great. My wife had a 9:30 am craving for ice cream. Even though it was technically breakfast time, a wonderful young lady tries so hard to get my wife her softserve ice craving, but it didn't work because the ice cream machine wasn't turned on yet.I plan on going back next time I'm delivering in the area. Breakfast looked great...“

“Food was alright, service was very slow. First time here, probably won’t return“

“A few weeks ago I stopped in at the American Graffiti for a beer and some clam chowder. As I was driving home I got a call from Todd (the owner) and he told me that I dropped a 100 dollar bill on the floor and he would hold onto it for me. How many bars would return a 100 dollar bill. Not many!“

“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.“

“Stevie's Cafe has always been open M-F for breakfast and lunch. I have enjoyed both, as well as having attended a 115 person wedding catered by Stevie on the grounds around the cafe. Expanding on that success, the Cafe just opened on weekends for breakfast. My omelette was cooked to order, accompanied by home fries, bagel, and endless coffee. Beautiful view over the deck adorned by flower planters. I have also learned that Stevie runs the 501(c)(3) Feed A Neighbor Program from this location delivering meals to the food insecure.Kid-friendliness: A dad was enjoying breakfast with the one of his three children who got up this morning! :-)Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap ramp and automatic door.“

“Slatterys is the best ever !!! From the food to the people ! I use to work here ! Great place to work ! Dave and Judy are absolutely amazing and great people !! Val and goody are also amazing! If you never been to slatterys then you are missing out !! ??highly recommend!!!“

“This is more of a bar review for my new local haunt, I've been a few times now and I like the music, friendly local atmosphere, and the staff is well above average. The food is decent so far but I haven't tried much. Its location is well situated to lure me in for a coors light and French onion if I need anything in the plaza.“

“The steak tips bomb sub was amazing, one of the best I've had, skip the sweet potato fries though they were thin and disappointing, the regular fries my wife had were better. She ordered a chicken wrap she liked very much and we shared a basket of delicious fried pickles. The bartender who also served us, though not friendliest was nice enough and attentive (more important) getting our drinks and orders out in a good time even though she was by herself with maybe half a dozen people at the bar itself and another group of customers at a different booth. Overall great experience, will def return for another steak tips bomb!“

“Met friends for a meal here earlier this week. It was excellent. All our meals were well prepared and delicious. Seating is limited, and the atmosphere is casual. Best to arrive early or be prepared for a wait (lots of outdoor seating available during the summer months). Reservations for parties of eight or larger. Perfect for an evening out. We had fish & chips, pulled pork and a burger. All were excellent.“

“Fuzzy is a very nice person he has a great menu selection really good prices you should stop in and check out FUZZY'S“

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

“The grounds offer breath taking views of New England beauty proportions. You have a lot here in small spaces for time to explore and wander or nibble and sip. Affordable day trip to explore, and learn. The hosts in every museum house are incredibly knowledgeable and with a love for what they do that is like a warm hug. The little shop is full of beautiful things and affordable art pieces to purchase. All in all, a lovely piece of New England for the day trip adventurer that enjoys indoor-outdoor simple pleasures. And from what I hear, a bucolic setting for a wedding, anniversary, birthday or other events.“
