This will certainly be the very last time that I ever go into this "Oh! so obvious" sub-par eating establishment, if one could even call it that in the very first place! Â It was horrific at best, while in the town of Worcester, and since its been in Sterling, it surely has not risen to any higher standards what so ever, that's for darn sure, too!!
My friend wanted to go there, after returning from Worcester for appointments. Â
I did say that I didn't think the quality had changed, but she still wanted to go, so we did. Â
It was 2PM, so whatever lunch rush crowd it may have captured, would surely be lessened at that time, so we were promptly seated and our server came over and welcomed us and introduced himself, and ask if we would like a drink, which we both order a non-adult beverage.
In no time he came back with the drinks, and ask if we had any questions or ready to order, we stated to give us a few more minutes. Â We both decided that we would try the "Baked Stuffed Lobster", which I was a bit reluctant, but decided "What the heck!", the price point was less than Legals, and hope it would be half as good. Â
Our server returned and we ordered our meal, and had our salads brought first. Â The salads were fine with the dressings on the side. Â
Then we received our "Baked Stuffed Lobster's", and let me tell you that they both looked like they were in the display cabinet in a show case that had been set up in the front counter for the last seven years, or so, no lie either!! Â
The lobster's lost their color altogether, and the stuffing looked like "Play Dough" from my children's toy box years ago, that had been set out in the sun, and the taste of it was like dried up Gerber Baby Food that was left out on the counter! Â
How does this place stay in business today? Â Are folks that intoxicated with adult beverage's or smoke's, before they arrive to eat here, or what? Â
I told the server, after I had tried both the lobster and the stuffing that this was not acceptable and he said, and I quote "Well, if you would have told me before you had tried more of it, I would have sent it back and replaced it"...At that point I just said to my friend to finish what you have, and we'll get the check. Â
Again, how does an eating establishment stay alive with such obvious "below sub-par products and services" is way beyond comprehension to this very day! Â
I guess that there are some truth's that many folks "Do walk dead while on this earth", and this establishment staying open for business is proof of that very statement hands down, too!!
C'est seulement la vérité aussi!! Do make a great day happen whenever you can now~Enjoy!
It's easy to get carried away when you're writing a bad review, so I'll try to remain objective.
 Remarkably bad. How's that?
We asked for rolls because our party of ten had some hungry babies that needed some carbs. We got microwaved rolls and rancid butter. Yes, rancid as in "inedible" or "past it's expiration date" or how about, "This stuff tastes like battery acid" . We complained and got new butter.
  The meals came and....well, here's a list:
   The good:  1. The prime rib was decent
             2. fried scallops were pretty good
             3. Fisherman's platter was actually really good
  The bad:
    1. Tough steamed lobster
    2. Undercooked baked potatoes
    3. Overcooked/undersized for 22 bucks broiled seafood
    4. Plain old bad/tough/dry/been sittin around rice pilaf, and seriously, if you can't pull off rice pilaf isn't it time to pull up stakes?
    5. My seat was sticky.
    Â
 Oh yes, and MORE RANCID BUTTER  for the potatoes. Are you kidding? Tracked down the manager who said something like "Yeah, this butter does smell bad. I'll get you more butter."   Dude, you keep your butter and I'll keep my money, because you just screwed up my Father-In-Laws birthday dinner with your below mediocre food and poor ability to rectify your own screw-ups. Shame on you Barbers Crossing. Maybe stick to selling booze. You suck at food.
This restaurant has gone way downhill. A couple of days before Christmas, I went to dinner here with my grandfather. I ordered lobster bisque and haddock stuffed with crab meat and he ordered beef ribs. The lobster bisque tasted ok but had no lobster meat in it. My haddock tasted ok at first but I got an aftertaste from it. The crab meat was probably some cheap stuff from a can past its expiration date. For the rest of the night and next morning, I felt bloated and with a little bit of food poisoning. As for my grandfather, his ribs looked dry and tasteless and even tasted like it after I tried one of them. He felt really sick for the next day and had to stay home for Christmas eve.
The service was ok, but  the restaurant seemed more dirty than ever before. The place is never busy, indicating low turnover and staleness of food. The table was an old rickety thing that rocked back and forth while trying to eat, which was very annoying. My family and I have eaten at this place for years as well as the old one in Worcester and never had a problem till now. We're no longer ever eating here ever again after our food poisoning and ruining my grandfather's Christmas eve. They've been added to my restaurant blacklist!
{*BEWARE*} families with children, short old grey haired hag in downstairs bar gets a kick out of watching you get settled with your children then telling you, you can't sit here. Never happens on her days off, call ahead and check if the child hating hag is working! Upstairs bar manager super nice likes kids and overall good food and atmosphere. Old hag really brings the place down.
Review Source:Stopped here on the way back from a road trip to Vermont and New Hampshire with the parents on a monday night. Â Twin Maine Lobsters for $15.99, we would have to be crazy not to stop for dinner. Â
Food: 4.5 stars. Â We started with the steamed black mussels in a garlic white wine broth that were amazing. The mussels were sweet and the broth almost drinkable, but I wish they had better dinner rolls to soak up the broth. Â The lobsters were cooked perfectly (a lot of times they get over done and you end up with a chewy tail). I'm not a fan of the drawn butter so I saved the broth from the mussels to dip my lobster. Â Dinner came with a baked potato which was just meh, they should have oil and salted before baking. Â We matched our dinner with a local draft which was a best bet concidering they don't have much in the way of wine.
Service: Â 2 stars. Â Our server was really nice and friendly, but that's about it. Â She messed up our order and gave Mom and baked potato instead of the veggie skewer (the server recommended). Â We had to wait for crackers and bibs after our dinners arrived. It was unnoticed by the food runner, so Mom got up and went looking. Â The server also offered to pour the mussel broth into a small bowl for me, but fogot until we were half way done with dinner. Â
Atmosphere: 3.5 stars. Â It's a bit old and tired, but some how works, most importantly it was clean (restrooms too!)
Its a good passing through stop, cold beer, decent meal and friendly staff.
Ugh. Not sure why I keep giving this place second chances. Went there for lunch and it was disgusting. Upon entering, we waited aimlessly in the hall for someone to seat us. Waited and waited. I finally went into the bar area where the bartender completely ignored us, made eye contact but looked away. I tried to ask her if if there was a hostess but she walked away from us. Another server behind her must have read the confused look on my face and asked if we needed something. She then sat us at a booth. The seats were both "repaired" with black duct tape, table was worn around the edges-very tattered and by the looks of the other tables, this seems to be the norm here. I knew exactly what I was going to get-a plain ole turkey club. I've had it it in the past and it was good. $9.50 for a run of the mill, nothing special turkey club with fries. Kind of a rip off. Â I ordered a soda and after a few sips, I noticed two fruit flies floating on the top and one stuck to the inside of the top of the glass. Yum! The waiter brought me another when I mentioned the flies. No flies in the second soda but I only took a sip or two as I was a little grossed out. More flies continued to fly around as we ate. The waiter was friendly and attentive. Kids had pasta and chicken fingers which were fine but their kids meals seem a little pricey for what you get. $6.50 for pasta, one meatball, and sauce- overpriced!
By no means am I a cheapskate. I have no problem paying for things that are worth it. This meal was ridiculously overpriced, mediocre at best, fruit flies in the drinks, and the place was dingy and dirty. Our waiter was fine, pleasant, and attentive as we were his only table.
I have no idea why people go to this place. Not a good deal, not redeeming qualities what-so-ever!!!
It's a good place to meet family & friends for a celevration, with lots of seating & parking and many foor items to choose from. The menu is too large for the cooks to make any 1 meal really well. Service varies, but is usually on the slow side. The bar is LOUD at all times and forget about conversation when a band is playing.
Review Source:I don't know what happened to this great restaurant, but it's not so great anymore, maybe new owners or management, I don't know, we haven't been here in a few years, so anyway, I order the all you can eat beef ribs and they were just horrible, all fat, hardly any meat, and when I complained a bit to the young, non caring, I'm just here for a paycheck waiter, he proceeded to tell me "well, you see the rib are just the scraps they cut from the prime rib so that's why you get all the fat."...REALLY!!! That's the explanation I get!! And then he proceeded to get ignore my response, didn't even think twice about telling a manager. Sorry BC you just lost another.
Review Source:This place can be good but it is very hit or miss. Â You could go in one night and get a really good dinner and then go in the next, order the same thing and have it either over or under-cooked. Â Good prices for Twin Lobster and that has always been good. Â Free popcorn in the downstairs by the bar. Â Keno and a pool table. Â Good place for a drink, but I try to avoid the food if possible.
Review Source:I don't think I can find anything wrong with Barber's Crossing.
I met up with a friend here and we were very happy with our meals. Friend had a meatloaf dinner (it came with butternut squash and some other sides) and i had chicken pot pie with a side of mashed potatoes.
Our waitress, though young, was quick, attentive, and answered all of our questions (telling us what she liked on the menu personally, as well as what other customers raved about).
The menu itself was nicely lengthy, along with a specials menu (included fish of the day).
We were served rolls before or meals came, and our meals arrived very quickly, nice and hot. Our waitress came over to check on us a few times, didn't pressure us, and brought us a check when we finished.
Great service, great food....A+!
This place is such a disappointment. There isn't much in the area as far as family dinning goes. We ere hungry after visiting Davis Farmland and came here. First let me tell you, there are to many option on the menu, what that tells me is a lot must be made ahead and frozen. Kids of chicken fingers and fresh fries. Neither liked the chicken, I though it was okay. Fries were cold. I got the pulled pork sandwich. I liked that tit came with sweet potato fries and cole slaw. It was just okay. nothing great, very forgettable. My wife go the small fish and chips with mashed potatoes. You could tell the potato's were frozen at one time. She though the fish was okay. I dont think we will be returning here.
Review Source:Excellent dinner. Â Good prices. Â The Barber's Crossing rum and cherry juice drink was right on. Â The desserts are hard to choose from, however the fudge brownie sundae is a must. Â Lots of great seafood to choose from. Â The bourbon maple salmon is a favorite. Â Very friendly waitstaff. Â A great place for all ages.
Review Source:Is Barbers Crossing North forever dreaded to be your dad's favorite place to go to eat? Or is it actually a charming, suburban neo-watering hole?
Well, decide now. Â But at any rate, to me it seems that both Joe Buck (Jon Voight) and John Wayne would come in here together and enjoy themselves. Err...by that I mean the prices are varied enough that even a down-on-his-luck, penniless wanderer could find something to eat and the ambiance is pleasant enough to drop one liners about how much ass you kick.
Movie references aside, two things to prick up your ears:
1.) Appetizers that are priced like appetizers and leave room for a meal. Ditto for the excellent clam chowder!
2.) If you do nothing else just come here for lunch. Their burgers and sandwiches will keep even the most nascent of co-workers and friends asking you where the heck it was you took them...
..you know...we went into...like the basement or something...and our sandwiches came out so FAST! Because we wer----
Yeah. In a hurry. It was right on RT 12. In Sterling.
They serve good ole american fare very well here and it's inexpensive to boot. Â Easy to get to, its a popular place to grab a relaxing meal without having to fuss with dressy attire. Â They do basic steak and potatoes and seafood very well. (The twin lobster is $19.99.) Â This is my hubby's kind of place and it's exactly what he got for Father's Day. Â He would have given 4 stars. Â However, since I'm rating it, its a 3 for me. Â I had a seafood casserole, which was made with shrimp, haddock, and scallops, baked tenderly and topped with toasty ritz cracker crumbs. Â The setting is country, and there's plenty of parking in their gravel lot.
Review Source:This place is great! I have had the pleasure of eating here several times and have loved every visit. The portions range from perfect to large (the ribs!) I have had lobster there, yummy! Their drinks are yummy and fun. This is the kind of place you go in jeans and a sweatshirt to chill! No frills but its clean and they have great food!
