The Mountain Barn

We just can't seem to get enough of this restaurant!  Every time we go, they never fail! It's a restaurant that has that "comfort-feel-good"
feeling.

It's truly a beautiful drive to The Mountain Barn , traveling past Wachusett Mountain along the bottom base of the mountain, then
look east along the open stretch where you can see Boston on a clear day, or, driving from the south along Rt 31, passing farms, fields and
ponds.

With a large parking lot and easy handicap access, you enter the restaurant with the hostess stand right at the doors,
with the lounge to your right and a nice little waiting area.  A huge black board greets you with their daily drink, appetizer, meal and
dessert specials.  The menu has a wide range of dishes.  Appetizer are the standard potato skins, wings, stuffed mushrooms, soup.
Main Dishes range from burgers, sandwiches, pasta, their famous prime rib, lots of steak choices, 5 poultry dishes, salmon, shrimp, scallops, and their daily fish special,
and the wonderful "comfort food"  menu - Meatloaf, Yankee Pot Roast, Turkey, Pork Chops and Sole.  Yummy!! A great kids menu also.
All meals come with a fresh salad with a good selection of dressings, a potato or rice, a vegetable  and a basket of warm rolls and butter. 
A great assortment of homemade desserts are also a must to try! 

Dining is set in a huge natural wood cathedral ceiling room, with old artifacts hung on the walls.  Most tables are wooden, with bench seating, very cozy. 
Behind the main Dining area is another cozy room with scattered tables for large parties, along with fantastic views. 

If you are waiting for a table, grab a drink at the bar and wander upstairs to the loft, where you will find very comfortable plush couches and chairs
and even a pool table. 

The lounge is open Wednesdays from 5 - 9 pm, offering their pub menu and the Dining room is open Thursdays from 4:30 - 9 pm, and Friday and Saturday from
4:30 - 10 pm, Sundays from 12 - 9 pm. 

Prices are very reasonable for what you are served, the servers go above and beyond, no matter how busy they are and we never felt rushed or ignored.
Check out their website for daily specials.

Enjoy... you will not be disappointed!

Black Sheep Tavern

With the grills put away, and the cold weather keeping us indoors, why not drive over to The Black Sheep Tavern at 261 Leominster Rd Sterling MA

The tavern is very inviting, with about a dozen high top tables scattered about the tavern, and a long bar with comfortable seating.

The Black Sheep Tavern serves typical pub fare, along with the some of the absolute BEST pizza creations around! There are salads for the healthy conscious, lots of variations with their burgers ,subs, clubs and roll-ups, quesadillas, wings, and a mouth watering chili loaded nacho plate. Their pizza is outstanding, with a smooth thinner than average crust. Try the speciality pizzas, smokehouse chicken, chicken caesar, buffalo chicken, BLT, bacon cheeseburger, along with tons of toppings to create your own!

The most positive thing about The Black Sheep Tavern is their servers.  They were spot on, always there when needed, extremely friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.
Most Saturday nights they have local bands, starting at 9 pm. It's also a great sports barn, with dozens of TV's playing around the room along with KENO!!

Great place... stop by and give it a try!
