Very good place was in the area for work. Was recommended to me by a few locals. Very decorated and festive for the holiday hostess was very nice and welcoming unfortunately I couldn't stay and eat. I took it to go but food was really good especially the Korean barbecue wings that I requested to be well done and also ordered the beef short rib with mashed potatoes, which was really good. Definitely a good place to have lunch or dinner would definitely recommend. read more

This place is not wheelchair accessible. At least as far as I can tell. My husband is in a kneeling walker from ankle Surgery. There was a ton of ice and snow by the ramp leading to the door. Then there were several steps and no ramp leading to the bar and another step leading to the dining area. My husband had to hop all the way. I can't imagine how someone using a wheelchair could get into this restaurant. Food and service was good though. read more

One step above basic bar food, but solid menu and all food was good. Large list of craft beers and many daily specials. Large venue, so there wasn't a wait. Seems like a great place to catch a game. read more

This is a must visit when I am back home. Food is amazing and the staff is the nicest around! Last night we had crab stuffed mushrooms to start. Very very good and a perfect size of mushroom, not the super big portabella. Then I had my go to Rueben. I think the best one I've had in a long time. (And I get them everywhere I go, trust me!) and huge! Lunch for the next day for me. Side of waffle fries too. He had waitress recommended a sausage and chicken pasta dish. Portion so big he couldn't even finish. And that is rare! Place is a gem of Williamstown so gets packed with locals. Bar was full when we got there at 6. Stop by and hang out and eat and drink. You'll love it! Cheers read more

Water Street Grill - Burger with Waffle Fries - American Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

Just passing through town at night and came upon this lively restaurant! Very welcoming and friendly staff that provided good service. The food was just what we needed after a day of traveling. We got 2 cups of clam chowder that hit the spot. We also got the Reuben burger special with waffle fries and the Cajun chicken with pesto rice special. Food was very filling and delicious! What a great spot! read more

The only positive I have about this place is their fries. I really wanted a good burger and they pulled their meat out of a freezer. If I wanted a frozen burger I would go to McDonald's. The meat had no taste. The service as also really bad. I would not recommend this place to anyone! read more

This place is a great example of a hometown feel with great food and atmosphere. The waffle fries are the BEST. The beer list is ever changing and has something for everyone. The food is great and well presented. The service is friendly and attentive. You can hear yourself and have a conversation. Games are on with no sound. It has an old feel with family vibe. Love it. read more

The food is always delicious here. The specials are always so tempting that it makes it difficult to choose. The clam chowder is seasoned just right and the steak tips melt in your mouth. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Another great thing is that the cocktails and desserts are very reasonably priced. With so many restaurants being closed on Mondays or Tuesdays, it's great that the Water Street Grill is open seven days a week. Highly recommend!! read more

It's a solid local tavern with good pub grub. We visited on Christmas Eve day for lunch and loved the festive atmosphere. It is a local spot. One surprising thing was the fact the restaurant did not carry any actual fresh eggs (we wanted a fried egg in a burger). Not having this made us all hesitate and change our order immediately- it simply makes you question all the other shortcuts the kitchen may be taking. Overall, it is a good place for lunch tavern grub. read more

Staying overnight on a ski trip I was looking for dinner and came up with the Water Street Grill on Yelp. Nice atmosphere and a good menu seemed like just what I was looking for. I was not really hungry so I decided that I would get the Fish Tacos. The menu description sounded good, but for whatever reason the taste of the tacos just did not come together for me. The fried fish was OK but just seemed to be overwhelmed by the other flavors. The waffle fries were generous and very good. Overall I just think that I ordered the wrong item from the menu and it looked like others in the restaurant were enjoying their meals. My experience at Water Street Grill was OK, but nothing special, I think that had more to do with what I choose then the rest of the menu. read more

I felt the service from our waitress could have been better. Nice chalkboards to tell you what's on tap great selection of beer but no cider choices only one some AC doughnut one that was not good. Food was good, not amazing but passable, skimpy on the veg. Martini apple cider concoction on the special menu was not a martini at all, not a taste of liquor, way too sweet and just undrinkable. Should have been offered to be remove from bill. Sorry just not a great experience. read more

This place was out of so many things we tried to order, and they only let us know way after the order was placed and after waiting for 5+ minutes. No steak or clam chowder. Perhaps it was for the best, as the food was extremely disappointing. Saltiest and burnt waffle fries, while the ribs were loaded with sodium and tough. I know small town restaurants can be hit or miss but this was a bigger miss than expected. Service was slow and inattentive. read more

Water Street Grill - American Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

Restaurant roulette continues in the Berkshires! Broke free of Lanesborough and Pittsfield this evening and headed North to Williamstown and tried our luck here. Great decision. Rustic interior and ample beer choices on tap. Hustling barkeeper on top of orders, drinks. Wasn't too hungry and didn't want to eat that much at 7:30pm. Opted for the meatballs appetizer and that was a 'just right' decision. 3 meatballs about the size of tennis balls with ample marinara sauce and topped with Ricotta cheese. I'd definitely come back again. read more

Food is not tasty and prefab, the service is terrible, the place is dirty, I would not go back! read more

Went here on a Tuesday night, atmosphere was fun and cheerful, and waitress was nice, Our group had burger, nachos, and chicken sandwiches, all were excellent. All around good time, definitely will go back. read more

Very good food. The burgers, chicken tenders, fries, and dipping sauces were specifically delicious! The servers were perfectly pleasant and the ambiance was comfy and cute. Would recommend if you're in the area :) read more

Wonderful find. Some friends and i went hiking out this way and needed somewhere for lunch. A Google search led us here! I had the New England burger which was delicious. Cooked perfectly (medium-well) and still juicy. The waffle fries, which I usually don't like as whenever I have had them previously, were always greasy and never crips, were stunningly fantastic here. Crunch, perfectly cooked, not at all greasy. Our waitress was knowledgeable and kind, if a bit slow, but nothing too bad at all. Their menu options are very good, and you can check it out online. I love the ambiance and decor. I love all the natural wood on the floor, walls, etc. It has a fairly spacious parking lot. read more

We are so happy to have the opportunity to spread the word... the food here never fails to be excellent and the prices are unbeatable. The wait staff hustles and everyone is super nice. The atmosphere is rustic; it can get a little loud. read more

My family and I came here for dinner after going to the MassMOCA museum. I highly recommend this place. The only reason for taking one star off was that we got conflicting information regarding making a reservation. I called ahead since we had a large party of 7 people. I asked if we needed to make reservations and the woman on the phone said they didn't take reservations but that if we came over immediately they could seat us with no wait. We headed over immediately but when we got there we were told we needed reservations, a direct contradiction of the info I had just gotten on the phone. The staff was reasonably apologetic and after conversing and a few minutes wait they were able to seat us at the outside table. It was an unique space - a small patio space themed beach style with sand on the ground. Sadly there were a lot of bugs out there and the air conditioner blew the warm air into this space. But the food was so good and at a great price. We had the appetizer sized portions of the mussels and clams which were both really big, basically entree sized. The calamari with hot pepper marinara was good too and the green bean fries were awesome. Even though we were the only outside table the waitress didn't forget us and was really attentive. If you are in North Adams this place is great. read more

Great little spot with sports, craft beer, and good food. We were road tripping through New England, and came upon Water Street Grill. Based on the other yelp reviews, we decided to pull in and give it a shot. It was everything you'd expect from a small New England pub and grill, plus some. As far as parking, they have a small lot that is free, so parking was not an issue. When we walked in, we were seated near the bar, so the bartender was our server. This worked out very well for keeping our drinks topped off. There were a few others seated around the bar, as well as some locals at a few of the tables throughout the establishment. Everyone was friendly ans enjoying themselves. The bartender was easy to talk to, and helpful with the different selections. As far as food goes, everything we had on the menu was cooked correctly, and tasted great. We had a few different items, and were happy with all of it. Again, the service was fast and efficient, so that was nice to see. They have a chalk board beer menu along with wall, so I am guessing the taps rotate pretty regularly. They had a bunch of different local stuff that I had not seen before, so it was nice to be able to try a few beers I cannot find back home. The prices were what you would expect - $10-20 per person for lunch. We got more food than we were able to eat, and left fat, dumb, and happy. The decor is very New England inside. Lots of different signage and random deco on the walls. All in all, a wonderful experience while passing through, and I would have no qualms about stopping back if I were in the area again. In fact, I would look forward to it. read more

Water Street Grill - Meatloaf sandwich - American Near Me - Williamstown, Massachusetts

Service? The Bartender was absolutely miserable! She would not even look at us. When we ordered another, she wouldn't make mine because I still had a sip left!! 2 women in our 60's, not drunk, and she treated us like that? She was the rudest human ever. If you were male, all set. Go to the Purple Pub read more

Decided to stop in for a late lunch after shooting some pictures of the autumn landscape. I had the half sandwich and salad, I opted for the tomato and mozzarella with a balsamic glaze and a side salad. Both were delicious, I would highly recommend this little café. They have an extensive craft beer menu, and I really like their food menu as well. It's thoughtful and there's a little something for everybody. The bartender and waitress were very friendly and got me seated right away. Food came out in less than 10 minutes, just an all-around good experience. read more

My wife and I were seated and it took almost 20 minutes before we saw our waitress. We ordered our beverages and lunch items right away because we both had a bad feeling that it would be slow. 25 minutes after taking our order, a different server brought over my soda and then asked my wife what she ordered for a drink. A few minutes later a table of four seated across from us left after experiencing the same type of service. We quickly followed suit after paying for my soda. Very disappointing experience read more

Food was okay but surprisingly average. Mid-lower end MA bar. Probably miss next time with my kids. Recommend not to venture off Main Street by campus. read more

Fantastic lunch here in March 2024. They were nice enough to give us a basket of 1/2 sweet potato + waffle fries with our meals. My Reuben was perfect. The tenderloin chocken was great no idea which local beer I got - but it was great. read more

Super interesting menu, with incredible food! I got the steak tip alfredo, and is something I'm going to have to try and replicate, but wont be able to find anywhere else! It was delicious, however, there was not a lot of steak in the pasta compared to the price I paid for the dish, and they mixed fresh and sundried tomatoes in the pasta, which I thought was unnecessary. I heard a lot of their meals are just as impressive as well! On a slow day, we also didnt recieve attentive service, which surprised me. read more

Service was very low my server didn't smile one time i understand people have bad days but at least fake it till you make it! our chicken and veggie pot stickers were ice cold server brought them back to the kitchen came out with new hot ones didn't say any apologizes at all our main foods where we got pulled pork sandwich, rueben and BLT which were good seems to be more of a bar scene everybody at the bar was having a great time and seemed to enjoy themselves read more

We ordered the chicken wings. It was very good. But the ribeye steak that we ordered in medium rare came as well done. A little disappointed but it was still ok. The service was acceptable. Price was reasonable and the wait was short. read more

Would recommend and would return! Great local spot with a down home tavern feel. Started with a basket of hot crisp waffle fries, perfect. The waitress suggested a chipotle mayo for dipping and it really elevated the fries. I had the tavern Reuben which was packed with pastrami, really hit the spot. My wife had a massive grilled chicken salad. Very fairly priced for high quality tavern favorites. Friendly and professional staff which was the icing on the cake. read more

While MY experience was rather stellar, my friend would say not-so-much; a rather IMPATIENT friend she is... always CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY IT UP?!... lol Any who, all I ever truly care about is how I, the poster child of HIGH MAINTENANCE, am treated. And the three times I have been here it was nothing but GOLD! And the food is ALWAYS excellent. Would I recommend this wonderful place for friends &family? Hmm... do squirrels have CLIMBING GEAR? DO CHICKENS HAVE EGG FACTORIES BUILT-IN? If you like an atmosphere where you can TALK WITHOUT SHOUTING, then this is the place for y'all. Don't get me wrong; it CAN get a bit rowdy, but it is few & far between. Of course, that can depend on what is considered "rowdy", right? read more

This place never disappoints. Great beers on draft, delicious food, friendly staff. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome service and food! We visited the Water Street Grill with friends and were very pleased with how awesome our meals were. You can tell they take pride in what they serve and how they serve. See you soon! read more

Food price / quality rating 9. Atmosphere is Country Pub/tavern. This place is a prime example of "don't judge a book by its cover". The exterior is very unassuming, but the inside is very nice. Well rounded menu that includes a few nice surprises. Decent draught beer selection. Prices are quite reasonable. I had the California Chicken and Avocado sandwich on a ciabatta roll that came with waffle fries, and the wife had the Asian Chicken salad. Both were excellent. The food and drinks were reasonably priced, and the service was very good. We will certainly come back. read more

Stopped here on our way back from North Adams. Typical tavern atmosphere. They were super busy with multiple reservations, but sat us in ~15 mins. Starters were delicious, especially the chicken tenderloins and encrusted green beans. Highly recommend the steak tips, both orders were tender and flavorful. Sadly I can't say the same about the meatloaf. There wasn't anything wrong with it, but it's just not worth it. Prices were super reasonable, notably post-covid, post inflation explosion. Definitely worth a stop! read more

I had lovely fluffy flakey fish & chips - crispy not oily - and on my second visit same week - I again had fish tacos! Such fresh fish - no fishy smell... Prices were very low! Wide selection of bespoke beers - Maybe 15? - all on tap Cheerful staff! Unpretentious and GOOD! read more

Ate at the bar on a busy Saturday afternoon - good food, friendly service, pleasant vibe

Had a great lunch. Caesar salad was great, good beer selection. Denise & Daphne, the bartenders, are very nice and attentive. Nice spot!

We came here while visiting the area from out of state. I had the New England Fish Fry and my fiancé had buffalo chicken tenders. We both enjoyed our food. We sat at the bar at lunch time and the service was good and the bartender was friendly. And the drinks were good too! read more
