Great little place with indoor and outdoor seating. Clean inside with plenty of tables and a long bar. Food was great. Burgers are excellent, as well as salads. Very accommodating with dietary restrictions. Very much appreciated. Service was good. Nice staff that took care of us. Food was delivered pretty quickly and water jugs were kept full. I would recommend this spot. I'll be back! read more

Nice vibe. Good local place. Very friendly staff. Food was tasty. Would return and with friends.

Meals were overpriced for the type of meals and the quantity of food I don't know if it was due to being berkshire tourist season ?? anyway there push a lot of choices in becket read more

Great casual dining Good pub food with a changing weekly specials menu. Friendly staff. read more

Food is good and prices and about right for the area. Cheaper and better quality than Papa Bob's.. They also don't alienate thier regulars... Way more honest and better at running a business than down the street. Never had ghost items mysteriously on the bill. Like down the street.. As a plus a pot shop and liquor store all in same building... :) Ambiance is rustic :) read more

Great food and great staff. The best burgers!! Great place to eat. Trish and Rodger are the amazing at what they do.

The food and service was amazing. Honestly I haven't had this good of a burger in such a long time. The fries and onion rings are amazing as well as their brownie sundae! This is a definite place to visit especially if you just came from Becket Quarry!!! read more

A warm welcoming atmosphere up here in lake territory. Breakfast - eggs, bacon, toast - was terrific, coffee good and strong. Real maple syrup and butter for my pancakes. Five stars if the pancakes were lighter and less doughy. Looks like they offer all three meals plus some game time experiences with a full bar and special appetizers including $.50 wings Baked goods, a full deli and a store in back. Close to the house - solid service too. Give it a try!! read more

This review is all about Sara, our server. She's welcoming, pleasant, knows what she's doing and makes us want to come back for more. Thanks for an enjoyable time. As for the owner, a smile is better than a scowl. It's noticeable. We'll be back. read more

The food quality is not good here. We have given this place 3 tries and not returning again. It's too bad as it is a great location in town. But the food is just not pleasant whatsoever. read more

The owner (Heather) sent this message to my family member "Please stop coming to the Becket Store, your continued negativity is not appreciated and there's no place for people who live on social services to afford these types of meals or spend their money on lottery, I wish you well. Get a Job" My family member who is a longtime Becket resident 30+ years has been supporting this store since they opened. Over the weekend my family member went in the store & while there asked the worker if the menu was the same (since COVID), the worker stated, yeah but only for about another week or so then it'll be different. At that time my family member said "oh okay, I'll stop back next week and grab a new menu" the reply she got was " actually we wont be providing any paper menus, we are actually trying to save the trees" frustrated with the attitude. my family member stated "well that's a mistake, amongst others" (due to raw/undercooked and overpriced food in the past). the worker then tossed her money on the counter and walked away. Later that evening, Heather (the owner) sent nasty degrading text messages to my family member telling her to stay away from her store and she is "black listed" for her negativity.. It's absolutely appalling that an business owner would act in this manner and is discriminating against those who receive assistance. read more

The Route 8 Pub in Becket is a great place to watch the game, sip a brew or enjoy a meal. Super-friendly staff -

Food was good but wait staff was rude. I have gone to the pub many times since moving to town last year. I went on a Friday and the waitress was fantastic and the food was good. She mentioned I should return on a Saturday because they have music. I returned with some out of town guests on a Saturday and the waitress was very rude and the manager made fun of my guests. It was very embarrassing to have told my guests what a nice place this was and then to be mocked because of our clothes. read more

Found this on yelp. Hidden gem is awesome. Lunch with my sister. Friendly service and great food . Will return for our next experience .

It's now called the Route 8 Pub. We had drinks and snacks here and enjoyed it a lot. Very friendly staff and good menu.

Under new name Route 8 Pub. Food was excellent service friendly and welcoming. This is a gem in the area. If you have not tried the fish and chips or French onion soup, you simply must. Thanks for a great meal. read more

We stop by Route 8 every time we're in the area! The food is always amazing, lots of selection with fresh salads and specials that change every day. They don't do breakfast, but I eat brunch there and enjoy a mimosa or two! The bands on Saturday's are always a hit and I love being able to make it for open jams on Wednesdays- always a friendly, warm and laid back vibe with great food and drinks, so fairly priced. Thank you guys for always providing a great space & an awesome time! read more

Great having a local place with good food and friendly people- I hope they'll be able to add breakfast ( at least during the summer)

Been coming here for a while and love it - good food, well priced, and good service! My family has a cabin in Becket and this has been our go to spot. I always look forward to coming here and can't wait to visit the next time I'm up in the Berkshires. read more

The most rude and unprofessional establishment I've ever been to. I would not recommend this pub because they are extremely rude to costumers and their food is mediocre. I was refused service because they did not think I was from the area... although I am. The waitress was extremely hostile and threw all of my change at me, and the manager found it appropriate to make fun of my clothing. This pub is the worst experiance I've had at a restaurant and was completely unacceptable. I would rate it a 0/10 but that's not possible, so I give it a 1. read more

Great food and people. I love the warm atmosphere and great conversation!!! Menu is fresh and the burgers are The Best!!!!

High quality food and friendly service. A great place to eat! Also a fab set of classic rock tapes. The pancakes are the best I've ever had.

We're always looking for new places to try out for Breakfast. The Becket General Store is about 14 miles from our home, but, since it was raining out, we decided it would be a nice drive to check out this new place, (at least new to us). Upon arrival at the General Store, the colonial style building looks amazing. Once inside, we were greeted by a very friendly waitress who immediately took care of our drinks and gave us menus. There was a good variety of breakfast foods & the prices were very reasonable, but, the true test was going to be the quality of the food. I ordered a ham & cheese burrito with a side of home fries & my wife ordered the short stack of blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon. Within the first couple minutes of tasting our breakfast, we knew this was going to be one of our new "GO-TO" places for breakfast!!! The food was AMAZING!!! This was just like waking up to a home cooked breakfast with all the trimmings. Even though the Becket General Store is 14 miles away, it was WELL WORTH THE RIDE!!!!! See you again REAL SOON!! read more

Wonderful country store restaurant. Great people and food.

There's nothing general in this store!! The ambience? Not general. The food? Not the slightest bit of general. The service? Well if you guessed it, there's absolutely nothing general about that either! Highly recommend this cute little not so 'general' store. read more

What a great friendly place. Good food, good company. Our kids love the chili. Great pancake creations. And we often go for the tuna melt. My wife loves the blueberry smoothie read more

A favorite spot of ours for a quick sandwich or evening meal. The food hasn't always been consistent but in the last year become very consistently excellent. I just had a double cheeseburger that was perfectly cooked and mighty delicious! Nice atmosphere, clean bathroom! All good! read more

I stop here for breakfast every time i'm in Becket. The food and service can't be beat. Great specials and menu this is a hidden gem in the heart of the Berkshires. read more

When in the area or if a local, don't miss this place. I have had breakfast and lunch here a few times and never disappointed. It's set in a quaint general store and has fantastic food and great service. read more

good cooking: fresh delicious pizza, home made delicious beef stew, other home favorites on menu such as pot roast, and food like pulled pork, grilled cheese with bacon, etc. read more

We have been here several times for breakfast and Loved it. Tonight we decided to try dinner. So glad we did. I had the Apple cheddar turkey on a bagel. Was to die for. My husband had Issacs teriyaki wrap....also amazing! We recommend this place weather breakfast lunch or dinner. The food is amazing and the prices are great too. read more

Had a bowl of "mushroom soup" the other day at GBS. Service was warm and friendly. Unfortunately, the soup was neither: it appeared, and tasted, like someone had thrown a pile of sliced mushrooms and some onions into a broth of dilute milk, and started to heat it, but even that was unsuccessful! I've experienced dishwater with more character. The one star was earned strictly from the quality of the waitstaff. read more
