Great Barrington's go-to spot for no-nonsense local fare prepared expertly. Go for pork , which comes from owner Mark Firth 's own pigs .

Neil Solomon

dined here on NYE! met Mark Firth , he was a gracious host . soft egg , fried chicken , cotechino, and scallops were stunning. get the sticky toffee pudding . great cocktails .

Emily Wilson

Mark, the owner, is the homie. Chill vibe, great food - order whatever, you can’t go wrong. If you’re staying the weekend in GB, you might as well come here every night for dinner .

David Ban

After buying a Monterey farm , the owners of Williamsburg's Diner just opened this new spot that serves their lamb & pork

David Rosenberg

The soft-egg starter is a winner as was the charming band playing the Saturday night we were there.

Chicken under a brick + whatever seasonal vegetables they have on the menu will be the best meal you have in the berkshires--so good!

Ryan Gallagher

Good new American restaurant . Menu changes frequently. Nice selection of natural wines . No reservations so be prepared to wait.

Mike Kalen

Awesome country style cafe . Brunch menu in the weekends. Try the fried chicken and bloody Mary's with smuttynose beer back!

Rory Parness

Chicken under the brick was excellent, albeit a little bit salty. If you can get them to go a little lighter, would be perfect

Albert Wenger

Fried chicken is amazing. Also try the pickled cauliflower .

Roniel Tessler

That lemon scone . Get that. The sausages are amazing. Vibe is cozy and cute . Definitely worth the trip.

Fried chicken nice and crispy but not too greasy, salmon special, and the almond cake dessert was???? ????

Get the Coppa, which came from the owners personal pig - it was better than the Coppa I had in Piedmont Italy!

A restaurant to return to over and over again, anytime when inside its 50-mile radius. The whale wins.

A little piece of hipster in this remote location. We had a great meal here. Go for the steak .

Everything. Fried chicken was amazing

Stuart Adler

Although rated very highly by my peers on FourSquare, I found the food to be better than average but not worth the price. Overall a low value although farm to table ingredients were appreciated.

Porkchop was delicious. The atmosphere is very "Brooklyn"

The bacon was great. Also, everything else.
