Had a SUPER nice server who brought me out my 3 piece Shrimp Cocktail and a Gin and Tonic,THE BEST and absolutely made my day,thank you!!!! Bruce in Brookfield read more

We had been meaning to come here for a while and finally made it in. We were very underwhelmed which was surprising because this place is always packed. The place was almost empty, but they still had a few waiter/waitresses on, and it still took over 15 minutes for someone just to come to our table. The service was so incredibly slow. The place is very, very dated and dusty. I received a glass of water that had no ice in it. My meal came out, and the butter had a black fly in it - ended the meal for me. I usually try and give places the benefit of the doubt, but this place was an all-around no for me and my friends. read more

Barber's Crossing was a place I have been meaning to try for a while. They have the most seafood in town relative to most of the other surrounding establishments. Service was good and it was a quiet environment on the Sunday night I went with my son. The booths were pretty nice and the high walls provide a more intimate atmosphere. There is a lot to try, and they are open a full seven days a week. read more

Posting as I was surprised by the negative reviews as this has not been my experience here. I had not been here in years but ended up meeting family at the bar for lunch and to watch the pats game. It's definitely a pub style restaurant with pub food, but they have an extensive menu. The bar was packed. Service was super slow and it took us a while to place our order. And when the servers came to our table they often got distracted and/or walked away before we finished our questions. Fortunately we were not in a rush. Food on the other hand was great! I had the burger which was a real burger (not a smash burger), it was cooked perfectly and came with delicious steak fries and a pickle, and was reasonably priced. Everyone else I was with enjoyed their meals, in fact one person said the prime rib sandwich was the best sandwich she had ever had. read more

My Server Danielle was Wonderful as always. She is so Friendly and a Favorite for all the patrons. The Meatloaf Dinner was delicious and filling. The fantastic servers and great food has made Barbers Crossing Roadhouse one of my favorite restaurants. Jim Messier read more

Food is terrible and they do not accommodate for shellfish allergies. The waiters here are terrible and immature this place Hires Literal 14 year olds and even the managers act like they are children from high school gossiping when they should be doing their jobs. This place is horrible do not go here! read more

This was highly recommended by some old-school Worcester locals. I was kind of skeptical of the "3-Star" ratings - but the fact it was packed on a Sunday night I think says more that a Yelp rating. Long story short - nice place - but menu a lots of good stuff - and the food was great!!!! Will definitely be back. read more

Service was great but the food was less than average after I ate my fish n chips I felt nauseous for hours , my sons burger was practically raw and the chicken Caesar salad was unsatisfactory for the price ,the chicken was cubed and scarce . Sad to say that will not be back. read more

The prime rib here is the best I've ever had in a restaurant. Lots of other great food as well, including the maple salmon. Lots of restaurant seating and a bar area in the back. Great service. read more

This place is a good casual, local dining spot. Decent food, decent service, and an old fashioned/nostalgic feel. Try the pretzel bites appetizer and the fettuccine alfredo! The Baked Alaska is also 5 sometimes they sell out. read more

Went here the other day, usually like the experience and the food. NOT On this day, experience TERRIBLE ..waiter brought our drinks, then never returned, got up to find him outside the kitchen and I said " Hi, you've brought us our drinks (there were four of us) and you never came back, we've been waiting about 15 minutes" ... Like WTH, he apologizes and says where are you sitting...I showed him and he said I didn't even know you were there. How is that you brought our drinks, lol, then says I'll be right over. We order, Lord have mercy waited an hour, ask him how much longer after our calamari and stuffed mushroom appetizers came out (these were very good I must add, but sauce for calamari was cold)... He says I don't know that's up to the kitchen I have no control over that, uhhmmmm ok. I get that in a literal sense. So prob 20 min later our 2 Chic Supreme and 2 burgers FINALLY come out, Chx Supreme was so thin and over cooked you could break it in half. One burger cooked perfect, my Husband's burger RAW...I mean Raw he cuts it in half to see and feels it cold in middle. Ok they'll cook us another one, mind you this is after an hour waiting to get our meals. Waiter takes it back to kitchen 10/15 minutes later here he comes back the with the SAME BURGER.....how do we know cause it's cut in half under a new bun, and now it's a briquette! Omg, were all disgusted, we get ahold of him we say sorry we're not paying for that. Pardon my words but the day out for lunch with my family was a total SHIT SHOW!!! Oh and wait for it waiiitttttiiinnnggg for the check now, so I get up and go near kitchen and see and hear the Manager giving our waiter a hard time about why we did not want the burger and why we didn't want to pay for it, I said excuse me are you talking about the burger ?? She says yes, I say it went from raw to a well done brick and it wasn't even a new burger.... She's like yes ok I know we're not charging you for that..... Can you stand it?! I was like you're right you're not!!! So I'd pass on this place unless you're just grabbing a and maybe an appetizer in bar! read more

My husband and I went today for dinner, I ordered the grilled salmon with maple bourbon sauce and my husband fish and chips....well the salmon was burnt on one side, I don't mind a bit of char but that's was over the top. The fried fish..we thought wow it's a big piece, but then you cut into it and it's all coating very little fish. We've come several times over the years and the last few times have been a disappointment. It will be a very long time before we come back, if ever. Save your money. I will say our waitress was amazing read more

Well after many years I've seen enough. Service was slow but attentive. Third trip in a row my meat was not cooked as ordered. Always undercooked . When you send back ,your potato and vegetables are now cold and wife's done eating. Charged me three dollars for a potato and an extra charge for my broccoli. Plus the prime rib was not inexpensive. Quality and price mean everything. Moving on . read more

Hadn't been in a number of years and after they did some expansion we decided to try again. Won't make that mistake again. Staff was thoroughly inattentive, I believe we saw our server a total of 5 times while we were seated. She was pleasant enough when she did come over to our table, but she was far too busy standing at tables with regulars and chatting than to waste time with us. Portion size for the pricing was also disappointing. The first indicator should have been when I saw on the menu that soda was $2.50 and they specified only 1 refill. We both decided on the fish and chips. My wife got the small portion and I got the large. I will say that the quality of the fish was very good. Great batter that was light and crispy although it was a little greasy but not terrible. But the size of the fish she received was a childs size portion at best for $11.99. And what I received for $15.99 wasn't even a complete fillet. We actually put the 2 pieces together and it made 1 complete piece of fish. We could have gone to either of the 2 other places in town and gotten better portions spend less money and received better service...and that's exactly what we're going to go back to doing in the future. read more

We love sitting in the bar area. Always packed, sometimes we can't find a seat. Great service and food.

Service is always good, food is good, and two back bartenders really make great drinks

I've come to the conclusion that it all depends on what day you come, I try to stay away on Saturday's and some of the server's you need to distance myself from, but overall a good place! read more

Barbers Crossing - A look at the wall of cans - American Near Me - Leicester, Massachusetts

the food is adequate! went for the St patrick's corned beef and cabbage. The corned beef was excellent, tender and delicious. the carrots and potatoes were also good, who ever cut the cabbage left the entire center part in and it was inedible. there really is no excuse for that. couldn't even cut it with a sharp steak knife, never mind try to eat it. the server was ok. our biggest issue is this policy of 10% discount for cash! WTF! keep in mind you can not get separate checks, you can not use it for specials, you can not receive it unless you let them know up front, you can not use is for ANY specials ie, the daily ones that occur every week. this is ludicrous! either give the 10 percent discount or not. who ever heard of not being able to get separate checks for a party of FOUR! that would be TWO CHECKS! REALLY?? OH AND you can not use a gift card from the restaurant, to get the discount! isn't that like cash? it will be a long time before we go back and we have a gift card ! read more

Barbers now charges a surcharge if you use a credit card. Charging $2 on a $20 meal is 10% and nowhere near what the card company charges them. I will be less likely to eat there in the future. read more

Food and service was good. Not liking the 10% charge using your credit card. I have no problem or 2-3% to cover the fees but 10% is outrageous. You're now paying 30% more with tip. Won't be going back just for that reason. Plenty of other mom and pop restaurants I'd rather support. read more

New addition and an outdoor deck, what the heck, this place is moving up in respect. Raw oysters on the half shell fresh and briny, glistening and new, shucked just so gently a serving for two! The drinks are great: a must-do too! Maybe new management, for service has improved; bar tender Eric, and waitress Stephanie too, Sharon, and Patty, Kat, and Jeff, and all the crew, add so much, the ambiance renewed. Things are looking up in Leicester this afternoon, two dozen oysters and a Jonny Walker will do. read more

Tried again after some time had passed but I give up, it's just not that good. When the best part is the free popcorn you know you're in trouble! Everything tastes like it came out of the freezer. Positives-staff is friendly, place is clean and neat, lots of seating. Negatives-meals are barely adequate. read more

Sitting here waiting for the waitress to maybe at least show up to take the money. Seen her less than 25 seconds since I've been here. The busboy got my drink when after ordering I never got, wow she just showed up with the check. The kid at the door got me a refill and more napkins . Never asked about my food which btw was a quesadilla swimming in mushroom (which I requested) juice, gross .......hadn't eaten all day so I dried it off called it a day and ate it. I guess it's a bad idea to come here by yourself you get ignored unless you are at the bar. I gave her $1 for her horrible service. She needed a personality . Its a busy place so I guess they don't need my business. read more

Thoroughly decent, crowd-pleasing standard American food. You don't come for gourmet modern cuisine; the menu is lengthy but almost entirely what you'd expect in comfort food. Everyone in my group was happy with what they got, including a range of sides. The $10 weekday lunches including drink & dessert are a good value. The interior is full of nostalgia and the service was all very friendly. read more

A very good restaurant for seafood, though I haven't had anything disappointing here. Expect waits on the weekends. One secret...really good bbq beef ribs. I think they use the ribs they remove from their prime ribs and coat then with some bbq sauce. VERY meaty, very tender, and very generous portion...I wonder of there isn't more beef here than with the prime rib dinner! And my dog is happy when I bring leftovers home! Lol read more

On Wednesday 9/28/2022 I brought a friend ( a nun ) to celebrate her 89th birthday ! She ordered the prime rib with kabobs, and, a glass of Pinot Grigio. For dessert she ordered the apple crisp. When we had finished she said, "I have eaten in a lot of restaurants over the years ( she frequently travels to Boston ) and I have to say, this is one of the best. The food was excellent, staff attentive, prices are reasonable. " I agree. We will definitely return !!!! read more

Barbers was one of my favorite restaurants for a good 20+ years. They have gone downhill bigtime over the past few years though. The last time I was in there (Leicester), the waitress dropped my lobster pie on the floor. Gave me my fries and walked away. 15 minutes later came back with another lobster pie, no new fries. LOL Last night we got take-out - husband waited 5 minutes while the waitress played on her phone with her back to him before her boss prompted her to wait on him. Food order was wrong. Boneless buffalo wings were... different. Not in a good way. So disappointed. Please bring back the old Barbers where the staff cared. read more

It was nice to find a place that makes fresh buffalo tender and oh My they where the best I have had in YEARS!!!! The atmosphere was pleasant and very welcoming. Had a fantastic waiter w a great sense of humor- laughed w us with all questions plus joined in. Honestly the best wait staff I have come across in so so long(Andrew - works there 4 nights a wk and travels from Worcester) The prices are good and everything our table ordered looked so good! From fish, need , chicken bigger and spaghetti! The app where wonderful and this is a great place for kids too! Crayons ;) always a plus! Pop corn on all table as you come in. The bar is great drinks are made strong. Not one negative thing to say. Having great wait staff is a plus! I hope they are all like Andrew. read more

Take out is a disaster at this place. Not sure what the dining in experience is like but we tried a second time for take out. They're just not set up for it. This last time we called ahead 30 mins before we got there. Showed up, 10 mins later they finally brought out our order which was missing an item. After being reassured it would be expedited ( a hot dog for a kid-simple order) we waited some more and then finally gave up and left. Got delivery from the pizza joint across the street. Don't bother with take out from this place. read more

We've been to Barber's twice in the past 3 weeks. Both times for fried clams. The first time we were given huge servings of clams. My wife had sweet potato fries and I had regular fries. Everything was excellent. Light, tasty breading. Fries were fantastic. We raved about the clams and the serving size to everyone. I intended to write a 4-star review. We went back last night and had the opposite experience. We each had exactly 9 fried clams on our plates. A ridiculously skimpy portion for $23, that was less than half of what we received last week. Also the server kept standing 6-8 feet away from our table while taking our order. COVID precautions are over and he wasn't wearing a mask anyway so not sure why he kept standing so far away. I informed him that I was very hard of hearing and he did nothing to make it easier for me to hear. My wife had to keep telling me what he was saying. Terrible service. I'm really disappointed in Barber's. I will update if we ever go back. read more

Many times at Sterling location and always satisfied. Passing the Leicester location returning from apple orchard thought we would have dinner. Atmosphere is better than Sterling but food is not. WE both ordered 12 oz prime rib and salads. The salads came very quick . They unfortunately were made from mostly ends of the lettuce. My wife did not finish it. The Prime rib came shortly after. The rib was very fatty and was not hot, only warm. There was not much au- juice in the plate, Sterling provides plenty. Very disappointing experience, will not go there again. read more

Such a shame that this place has gone this far downhill. Friends and I loved the Greendale one when that was around. Went here for lunch recently and my sandwich was terrible. Old, tough, meat on undercooked toast. Server nowhere to be seen, bartender totally inattentive, just gabbing away with a friend. Huge diappointment. read more

Heard this is a populate place for locals. We went there on a Wednesday night. It was busy which was a good sign. fried calamari was light, not greasy, quite good. Buffalo wings were a bit too salty and strong for my taste buds. I ordered baked haddock with crab meat stuffing. Fish was cooked perfect, tender and flaky but with too much stuffing that almost overpowered the main ingredient fish. read more

Great service, and nicely done traditional meals. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, and the maple burgers were popular with the kids!

Delighted with my lobster and coleslaw. The lobster was so sweet and moist! A treat. I chose the key lime pie for dessert. Nicely done!
