Restaurants near Hampden

“Upon entering Reid's Corner it looked like there were two types of seating to choose from; bar- or booth-styles. For a big person like myself booths are normally naot my style because of said spacing between the back of the booth & the edge of the table can be less than generous more often than not. Until I spotted a hallway leading to another room with tables & more booths & I asked for a table with no objections.Their three page menu had a lot to choose from. From omelets to breakfast bowls to biscuits & gravy ("breakfast bowl" -think of the "toppings" in the bottom of a pasta bowl with your eggs, the way you like them [I like mine over-easy] on top) with your choice of toast (white, wheat or rye). "Bottomless" coffee is 3 bucks extra & for a slight up charge, you also can get biscuits or a muffin or " toast" replacement offers; except pancakes (there is no side or "stack" sizes of pancakes offered, which is strange for a breakfast place). There is also biscuits & gravy, corned beef hash & other combinations of egg-style dishes to choose from.Reid's Corner also serves up lunch if you are not a breakfast person, as well.Overall the atmosphere, friendliness & attentive of the waitress staff, cleanliness of the restroom, were 5-stars. But it can get pricey with all the upgrades they offer since sit down & serve breakfast places in that general area of Massachusetts are scarce.However, I cannot wait to go back & try Reid's version of biscuits & gravy & their take on an Irish Bowl, not to mention trying them for lunch in the near future...Cheers!Parking: There are a few spots near the entrance to Reid's Corner. There is a step up from the parking lot to the sidewalk entrance. There is plenty of parking if you do not mind walking a few hundred feet from the main parking area, however.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no handicap spots in front of the entrance way of Reid's, because of how the "stripmall"(?) was designed. But it is doable.”

“This was a repeat visit and ths time I had the rigatoni bolognese which was the best I've had in a long time. The sauce was meaty, tart, tangy, tomato-y and there was a good amount of it. All in all, a very enjoyable mealService was friendly and prices reasonable”

“we get here 2 or 3 times each year, the attention to detail is so good, the cocktails and the food, just delicious, the bartender was very attentive, great atmosphere,no complaints!”

“Love Gio's, arguably the best Grinders in the area. Seriously, really good. Big, and packed full. I would recommend them any day of the week! Good Pizza too!”

“It's always a great experience going to Mt. View for the food, ice cream and the nostalgia I get from the best ice cream shop I've been to since I was a kid!Vegetarian options: My oldest is a vegetarian and she got the veggie grander and liked it.Kid-friendliness: Their kids meals are awesome!”

“Out of all the dunkins in the area, I have found this one to be the most consistent. They seem to always deliver a good coffee that is made the same way every time. I've gone here on and off for over 8 years and it's always been the same.”

“It's at a highway rest stop, so expectations shouldn't be too high. At least they're open on Sundays! Sandwich was fine - typical "fast food" style sub. A little lighter on meat than the best sandwiches but just fine. The bread was okay, seemed a little crispy like it wasn't the freshest bread but okay. Why didn't they cut it all the way through? I don't know but places like this often leave a part of the bread not quite cut all the way through which annoys me but isn't a major issue.”

“Food is very good. Not my first time having Indian food in general- but Motu takes it to another level. I tried the masala Mac and cheese and it’s nothing I’ve ever seen available before. VERY DELICIOUS and their menu is extremely original. Their choices are good and the portions are just as good. I recommend the masala Mac and cheese and the mango lassi! Great job Motu!”

“Everyone working there is really really nice and the place was very clean and cozy.The Veal was fantastic, the cheese cake and lemon Chelo cake both blew me away!!!!”

“Great pan pizza and we like the regular deals! Friendly staff, good communication, easy transactions, and big value. Our orders and deliveries have always been on time. Good job, can recommend. If you want pan za and are in the area, this would be a fine choice. ?”

“Some of the best Turkish food around i always take the opportunity to go when I’m in town and the friendliest staff around. I love this place with most definitely recommend this to anybody”

“The food here is amazing and the employees are super nice and friendly and they always try to get to know everyone and treat you like family. The place is very clean and well decorated and has a nice vibe to it, and this place is so popular that it's always full of nice people and sometimes you have to make reservation and what's great is they will call and let you know when there's the free spot in everything super amazing. I highly recommend you coming here and checking it out”

“Best pizza within 10 miles of Hampden. So happy i walked in to try something new. Pizza crust is delicious. Cut in rustic manner. Subs had great bread.Going to be my new regular pizza place.Parking can be rough during dinner rush.Cold pizza the next morning, might have been even better than the night before. WINNER WINNER PIZZA DINNER!Parking: 3 spots in front of restaurant.”

“Their customs cakes are amazing. I requested a custom Taylor Swift themed cake and they exceeded my expectations. They were so easy to work with and my cake was delicious and gorgeous!”

“We tried for the first time today! :) Food was great & coffee even better. Really enjoyed my coffee. Service wasn’t rude but was very unfriendly. Very stoic and serious, straight to the point. Seemed bothered by our presence and a question on the menu. The dining area wasn’t clean and upon walking in, everyone was standing around (we were the only ones in there) so not sure why it was so messy. Perhaps they were taking a break in between a rush which is understandable! I will give it another shot soon.”

“My fiance and I went on a long drive and came across this coffayyy shop. I've never went to a coffee shop before and this was the best first experience! The food is amazing, the coffayy is amazing, and the atmosphere is so relaxed. I highly recommend everyone to go here atleast once.Also, look for the tip jar. You won't be disappointed by what you see. Such a clever idea to get people thinking. Love it all”

“I have to mention the person who assisted us. As two weary travelers on "The Pike" my wife and I became hungry and stopped at this location. We were a bit undecided as to what to get but Robin, who was working the counter, was both patient and friendly while helping us decide. She did a fantastic job of helping us and going above and beyond by checking on us after being served. She is absolutely the type of person the public should interact with and should be recognized for her efforts. Robin, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR!!!!! Great Job and Thank You!!!!!”

“As I was visiting my cousin and we ate at this remarkable restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing and totally affordable! ? I ordered an eggplant ? and garlic calzone thinking it was going to be a small portion. To my surprise ? it was HUGE for only $15!!!! I ate a quarter of it and was so stuffed. I had to get a to-go-container. My family ordered spaghetti ? and large meatballs. They couldn't finish their portions either.Unfortunately the service was not my cup of tea. Extremely disappointed. I had to bag my own food and wait a considerably long time to be served. Somewhat ignored by the waiter.I would have given this restaurant a one star or negative zero star rating because of the poor customer service. However, the food was way too good to mess up such greatness! I hope they'll have waitresses with a better quality of service soon. I will definitely do take out instead.Kid-friendliness: They have a specialized kids menu for dine in onlyWheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible; tight front and back entrance to the restaurant.”

“Love stopping by almost every morning. The staff are wonderful, efficient, and friendly. The coffee and food are fresh and absolutely delicious. The store itself is super cute and stocked with goodies. A great small business to support.”

“I've been going to Chmura's since I was a young girl. Now I am retired and my grown children are elated to find bread bought with them in mind, knowing they'll be joining us for a weekend supper.”

“They sell pints of caramelized banana walnut at my local grocery store. It is hands-down, one of the best ice cream's I've ever had in my life! There is only a few ingredients it's totally fresh and it's the real deal none of the artificial BS. Go get it and try today. You will not regret it!”

“Quality time! On Saturday evening came in to Bruno’s Pizza with oldest son to try the garlic wings! The wigs were delicious and tender. My son requested extra food buffalo pizza and sweet Chili wings. To our surprise the food was delicious and amazing… The restaurant was clean and atmosphere was perfect. The restaurant staff were friendly and welcoming.”

“First time here. Clean well lit dinning area. Amazing food. Very flavorful, good portion sizes. Definitely enough for leftovers.Wheelchair accessibility: There are ramps to sidewalk and no steps into building.”

“great service from marissa and the food and drinks are amazing every time i come here posto is definitely a go to spot for me and my friends and we can’t wait for lola’s!!”

“Just Love this establishment! Food, Service & Atmosphere was Exceptional.I had the Ribeye, and my other 2 family members had the Tortellini Rosa & The Lamb Gyro. Also, excellent spinach dip. The portions were huge! Enough to bring home for a 2nd meal. I highly recommend this restaurant !!!”

“While I may have a bias as a six year server at the Steaming Tender, I am truly blessed to be a part of our team. My fellow servers are genuinely friendly and eager to learn, each bringing their authentic personality and sense of professionalism to the table. Our bartenders mix and match with the best of them, whether you fancy one of our rotating local draft beers, a seasonally curated cocktail, or a classic mocktail for those lighter days, they'll prepare you a beverage that will hit the spot with finesse, know-how, and a great conversation. Our chefs are some of the hardest working people I know, consistently innovating and executing a complex array of well-crafted dishes. They can have a seemingly endless amount of orders coming into their kitchen and still put their hearts and souls into every diner's plate. And the best part is, our dishwashers work seamlessly behind the scenes, ensuring you needn't worry about a thing. Steaming Tender is fully family owned and operated and it shows. Our management values input, seeks new ways to expand and improve, and strive to create a positive work environment. Lastly, but certainly not least, the preservation of this historical landmark of Palmer keeps our rich American history alive. I truly believe H.H. Richardson and Frederick Law Olmsted would be proud. If you appreciate delicious food, delightful service, and a deep dive into local history I encourage you to choo-choo-choose the Steaming Tender.Vegetarian options: Seasonal salads, secret garden veggie burger, basil pomodoroDietary restrictions: Vegan options, gluten free options. Accommodating kitchen.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love watching the trains go by, the birthday song, and sitting in the shoe shine station. The patio in the summer time is always a wow moment as well. Be sure to check out the grounds filled with antique stagecoach, train memorabilia, and genuine 1915 Porter Locomotive.Wheelchair accessibility: Sloped area in the curbing next to the red dining car, beside handicap parking.”

“This place has awesome sushi! Annaisewas such a sweet young lady who took our order. We had such a nice interaction with her. She needs a raise! We waited a long time for our order but the ppl ordering were so nice to speak with. One gentleman was from Dedham and that's not far from where we live. He missed how New Englanders say "South Shore". The food was worth the wait. Thanks to our brother for suggesting this wonderful place. I'm stuffed.”

“The food was amazingly good as far as what was ordered. I can only imagine how good the next order will be, can’t wait. Closest to Bx, Ny‘s Chinese I’ve had in 25 yrs!!!”

“Went for all you can eat with my dad and husband. Staff was incredibly friendly and food was very fresh tasting. Made to order and NOT Buffet which is really so much better. Very satisfied and will definitely return.”

“I recommend it because it’s the only place where you can get real juice and not syrup and sugar mixed in with it. It’s a rare find. If I lived closer to it, I’d probably be in there every day. The smoothies are delicious and healthy and the bowls they make are delicious and healthy. You can’t really eat out anywhere and get something healthy, typically. When I visited yesterday, there was a woman by the name of Laura that was working her tail off behind the counter, I thought there was a team of people in the back making the stuff, but she was there all by herself doing a really good job. I was a little sad because Omar wasn’t there.”
