One of my favorite places in stubridge, The ambiance was…read morecalm and child frendly. I got a bowl of mac and cheese and some bao buns and also Jalapeno poppers. My family got the steak and duck, they said it was awesome. The bao buns were fantastic, each bite was like a cloud In your mouth. The Jalapeno poppers were mild but a lot of good flavor. The staff were nice and personable. The service was really good, with the jalapeno poppers out first then the bao buns came. I also got the choclate cake for desert, it was creamy like a cheese cake with some homemade whipped cream and a strawberry slice. I will come again soon, thanks for the great experience

The cheese sauce was a bit runny making it hard to eat politely. We had a steak and cheese and a turkey sandwich, both with house chips. The water there tasted awful, we did have to order bottled. They should probably consider a filtration system. Before I came I thought this was a high end place but upon arrival realized it's quite casual. We were in the downstairs bar, I understand there is an upstairs so maybe that is fancier? Either way it's super laid back. I will say the bathroom near the bar need an update. It was not just dirty, it was run down and ragged. Our lunch /drinks for 2 was $180 with tip and I would expect a decent bathroom and drinkable water for that level of restaurant pricing.

Will definitely be back when in the area.

Looking for pub food and in the area. Smallish parking lot in kind of a strip mall. Sat at the bar…read more Plenty of options, for craft beer (rotates regularly), bottled and draft beer, apps, food, pizza, specials. Opted for a ginger ale (go figure), and a Swiss burger - 8 oz Angus, Swiss, sauteed onions and mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, fries. Service very good (did not catch her name but, then again, she never threw it). Food came out pretty quick, and was cooked to order. Couple of things: bun looked good in the pic, but fell apart almost as soon as I picked it up; mushrooms were not sauteed at all; burger was a good patty. Not hand formed. Fries very good. For the price, not a very good bargain, in my opinion. 3 stars

I've passed by The Traveler Restaurant my whole life on road trips up north, but only just stopped…read morein for the first time last night! There weren't too many people there, but it made for a lowkey dinner. The food arrived quickly, and everything we had was actually much better than we were expecting. Cool concept with all of the books lining the dining room, and we appreciated that you could take 3 for free. Also walked around the book cellar too. There weren't really any titles that grabbed us though. My main critique is that it was pretty dusty... we looked at one of the lights and the cobwebs on it made it look like a Halloween decoration. You have to wonder if the dining room is that neglected, how bad is the state of the kitchen? Wouldn't be in a rush to come back, but glad I can say I've been to what's considered such an iconic roadside stop.

The menu isn't large, but plenty of options for all sorts of tastes. I like they focus on making the best and good quality food than a bunch of choices.

"My grandma she can make a soup With a little a this 'n that…read moreBut with grandma cookin no need to worry! Just a little a this 'n that" (Pete Seeger) My final review of 2022 will describe the worst customer service we encountered all year. We had an errand to run in Sturbridge and figured we'd include a lunch stop in town. The Yelp app brought us to Soup to Nuts. #1) I love soup and #2) it's located inside the Sturbridge Marketplace, so we figured we'd do some shopping and browsing too. When we approached Soup to Nuts we saw a sign that said they opened at 11:00. The front door had another sign that said they opened at 12:00. Since the door was locked, and it was about 11:30, we figured we'd check out the Sturbridge Flea Market and come back. At 12:02 their front door was unlocked, and the sign announcing the 12:00 opening was gone. As we entered the restaurant, we were "greeted" by four words spoken (or more accurately snarled) in a very gruff and rude manner - "we're not open yet". Tone of voice matters, and I will look you straight in the eye and put my hand on a stack of bibles and tell you his tone was beligerant and angry (to the point of aggressive). It was beyond rude. It was shocking. So we turned around, left and never came back. Happy New Year ya filthy animal.
