Description: We at Route 7 Grill are proud to be providing fresh, local food to our Berkshire neighbors and friends. All of our meats are naturally raised from local farms or small family farms. We hope that our close relationship with these farmers have some positive effect in preserving local farming traditions. Everything we serve, including stocks, soups, dressings & desserts are made here from scratch. The barbecue menu features foods smoked in-house over local hickory. Our philosophy is inspired by Berkshire Grown, as well as the Slow Food movement. The restaurant, nestled in the Housatonic river valley of the Southern Berkshires offers a full service dining room and full bar with an outdoor patio as well as beautiful outdoor facilities for Pig Roasts & Special Parties. We are family friendly with an open dining room & we offer a great kids menu. We’re located on historic Route 7 south of Great Barrington in the shadow of June Mountain with a big back yard for play & private parties!

The picture shows the mouth watering ribs. But that's not the food I got. The brisket and the chicken were not coated in sauce. The sauce was served on the side. And it was a disappointing sauce, to boot. Could barely taste the smokiness of the grill - not sure it didn't come out of an oven. Food lacked character.... More

We visited on a quiet night - so atmosphere wasn't great - but the welcome from the manager and the one server was exceptional. Lovely food - would have liked to have tried their ribs....

We've been here 3-4 times and our experience has been remarkably consistent: limited menu, esp. for those seeking something even slightly healthy, the food is just ok, and the room has been so smoky from the fireplace that its hard to breathe. I had an over-dressed, over-cheesed Caesar, and my husband's burger, which he ordered medium-rare, was medium-well at best.... More

We had a great evening - the food was terrific and the fire was so warm and inviting. Service was perfect. This place has a great vibe.

The farm-to-table concept of this restaurant is great. The menu looks great. When it opened a few years back it was quite good. Now it's always disappointing, and we vow never to come back. Then someone gets a yen for ribs, so we give it another shot. Completely dessicated ribs (slathered with cold BBQ sauce). Totally dried out chicken with... More

We love Route 7 Grill. My eight-year-old son, who has called it Meat-On-Bone since he began to talk, orders the ribs and nibbles them right down to the bone every time. I love the succulent burgers, the delicious perfect fries, and the two sides of healthy yummy veggies I can get with any dish, We like to sit near the... More

Great idea, but need training with the staff. I spoke to the owner and expressed my concerns. I will wait and try again when I come back in a few months.

On our way down to taste some beer at Big Elm, our good friends elected to have us stop in here for lunch. Wow. While quaint and unassuming from the street we were greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere and a welcoming hostess aside a wonderfully stoked hearth. The clean comfortable atmosphere was accented by the sweet smell of... More

Not even close. THIS is the place to go in Great Barrington. Local beer, local meat, local whatever-they-can get. And everything on the menu is good; I grew up in TX and the BBQ is the real deal. Never any menu-regret. Lester and his staff care about your experience whether you are dropping in off of Route 7 or have... More
