51 Park Restaurant & Tavern

nice servers, good menu selection.

Pretty good place.
The service was mediocre and the tables were small.
However everyone liked their meal so the food was good.

We really enjoyed our meal here tonight! The service was great, and the food was good as well. We ordered the Reuben, burger, and fish tacos and had no complaints about any of it! The fries were excellent too (and we are very judgmental about our fries). The only complaint we had was that it was a bit noisy and the tables were packed in close to each other, but that just shows the popularity of this place! We also really appreciated the manager checking in with us, and we will definitely be back soon!

Went with 3 other people and we all thought our food was bland. I got the elk burger ordered medium and it was well done and dry. Truffle fries were ok. Overall not impressed.

I stopped here after a state bowling tournament. From minute one this place was awesome. The employees are super engaged and we were all laughing the entire time. The food? Absolutely superb! I had the Mac and cheese, my guests all had burgers. We had the spin dip for an app. All very delicious. Drinks? We had a caramel martini and an LIT, again delicious and made properly. I would go back to to 51 anytime and recommend anyone to go give this a try! Well worth your time and money.

Stopped here for a late lunch/​early dinner with my mom after a few hours at the outlets. Both of us really enjoyed our sandwiches and the service was very quick! I had the Black & Bleu Chicken Sandwich. The flavors were great and the (add-​on) truffle fries were absolutely delicious. My mom had the Fried Cod Sandwich and she really enjoyed hers as well. Overall, we had a great meal at 51 Park and will definitely not hesitate to come back next time we’re shopping!

Friends recommended the 51 for a lunch stop after Outlet shopping. Great place ! Joyce, our waitress, was very knowledgable and friendly .
We started with hot wings as an appetizer and they were very tasty — nice they offer the choice btwn ranch or blue cheese for dipping. Fish tacos & stromboli were both tasty — the cookie skillet caramel ice cream dessert was AWESOME. Def return visit in order :)

We drove past this place a couple times while visiting Lee, MA. I think there should be better signage. The feel of the place is very much a tavern feel with dim lights and a friendly atmosphere. However, when you walk in the host is not at the door he/​she is located around the corner. Behind a couple tables and next to the bar which causes congestion between high top tables, the bar, people coming in, people leaving, as well as the waitresses waiting the high tables. That being noted the service was great, all their servers appeared to be enjoying their jobs and came across with high energy. The tavern had a good selection of beverages as well as a packed menu. My party of two ordered the spinach and artichoke bread bowl which was awesome! Then for a main course we shared the burboli carne stromboli. The Stromboli was on point. They advertise from scratch cooking and you can definitely taste it! We are considering making the hour and ½ trip out to eat there again because the food tasted like home cooking!

We went to 51 park on Easter Sunday on a recommendation from the staff at our time share. There wasn’t too many places open and with two little kids in tow, we needed a place that wasn’t too fancy. We had no expectations, just quite honestly needed sustenance. We were very pleasantly surprised! Joyce our waitress could see we needed kid supplies and quick ordering to keep the littles happy and we got their meals within ten minutes of getting there. Our food was excellent and the timing of everything was perfect. Don’t skip the truffle fries!!! Our burgers were cooked exactly how we wanted. The ambience and cool vintage vibe was an added bonus. Joyce told us the house was built in the 1700s and has many original details ! Very cool… definitely check it out next time you’re in Lee.

Stopped in for lunch while on a quick trip to the Berkshires sans kids and we were glad we did. Such a cool little place! Very comfortable with cool décor. We sat at the bar where a friendly but professional Kelsey waited on us and we were entertained by a regular and his keyboard. Imaginative drinks with a good amount of liquor were made fresh with not too much sugar. The Spring Sangria and Blackberry Whiskey were excellent and there was a good beer selection. For lunch we shared a bowl of the Spring Minestrone which was the one letdown dish of the visit (reminded me of the soup they serve at Nursing homes or school cafeterias). However, everything else was great. I had the burger Chopped Salad while Hubby opted for a Romaine Salad with salmon. Both were perfect… HUGE portions of perfectly cooked meat, fresh veggies and we are every last bite. A perfect pre-​outlets stop!

Middle of the road restaurant — not terrible, but not amazing.
Unique building looks cool and has a decent atmosphere, but uncomfortable seats, some too close to other people.
Server was friendly and nice, but wasn’t attentive — Didn’t ask if we wanted refills, more beer, or dessert. Also up-​charged for a veggie burger.
Fire roasted vegetables had too much oil, but good flavor. They seemed fresh, unlike Bertucci’s which cooks their veggies in the morning. Fries were bland. Get a different side. No vegan options, but a few vegetarian meals were available.
They ran out of two of their specials.
Overall, it’s OK, but there is stiff competition in the Berkshires.

Great find in Lee, MA probably makes a good pit stop after outlet shopping since it’s so close. Our friend who used to live in Lee but moved away brought us here to try one of her favorite pizza spots in Lee. Turns out they’ve changed the name (and the pizza a little) but seems like it lived up to her expectations.
The menu was extensive and everything sounded quite appetizing. I’m not going to lie, I was slightly disappointed that my stomach isn’t bottomless. The restaurant itself is set in an old colonial with the cutest wrap around porch which adds to the charm. But not to worry there’s plenty of space inside this 2 story colonial for those bitter winter days. There’s also a nice sunny book inside.
There was a slight snafu with my order which they diligently corrected. I didn’t deduct any points because overall, everyone was so satisfied with their meals. The table ordered 3 different types of pizza, and Stromboli. The Stromboli was intense and really like a burgeroni but all in our party who ordered it loved it.
I had the fig and goat cheese pizza which was quite good and the rest in my party ordered different permutations of pizza. We had just finished a hike so we were all pretty hungry and the food did not disappoint.
Bonus: I had a shipyard pumpkin which they very appropriately dressed with a cinnamon sugar rim– try this sweet indulgence, you won’t regret it.

Id like to first start out by saying the waitresses were great, the food was good and this restaurant has a great deal of potential and the menu is unique enough to make the average person want to try this establishment out.
Where the restaurant failed was right up front at the bar. I came in and sat at the bar which as a single traveling manager is a frequent occasion. The bartender (short red hair with glasses) never greeted me when I sat. In fact I sat there for approx 7 – 8 minutes before she even asked me for a drink and when she did I could tell she was rushed, irritated, and in a hurry. she asked me for my drink order and my dinner order as is to rush me out. I ordered a drink, a french onion soup, and chicken salad.
The bartender brought my soup to me and the soup was warm at best with warmed, melted cheese over the top. I asked that it be taken back and cooked more. She brought it back again slightly browned on top. I understand she is not a chef however if she is serving food she should know what it should look like. Dark brown and bubbly for a french onion soup period! She acted irritated that I sent it back. It was in fact tasty but still not cooked correctly.
At that point there was a car blocking problem in the parking problem in the parking lot and she complained loudly and openly that she needed to handle it. She then quickly dropped my chicken salad in front of me and walked away with no smile, no conversation, and no care. she left the bar and was in the parking lot for the next 6 – 8 minutes. I had no silverware or drink to accompany my meal. I asked one of your excellent wait staff to help me and they were very attentive. Once she returned she then continued to interrupt ALL patrons and ask if our car was the car blocking. This entire process continued over 15 – 20 minutes. None of us at the bar had assistance. Patrons needed drinks, refills, and to order dinner with no tender in site.
I am rating this restaurant a 3 because I feel the restaurant as a whole could easily be a 4 with the food, wait staff, and delicious looking entrees however you need to get past the bar to find that type of treatment.
I hope the managers address this issue.

Stopped here on a pass-​through. Fun little place. Great beer selection. Had calamari app and that was solid. Husband ordered Mac-​cheese stuffed burger but there was seriously barely any Mac in it. The waitress, who recommended the burger, was super apologetic and actually had them make an entire second burger plus fries to go for us. Husband had for lunch the next day and it was packed and super delicious. I had the lamb burger and really enjoyed. Great service and attention to customer satisfaction. Would stop again.
Seemed like a good and regular crowd at the bar where you could also eat.

Casual cozy place. Burgers are creative and tasty
Good value. Easy parking behind. Not far from mass pike exit 2

On the way home from 6 Flags, called 40 min ahead for a couple of pizzas to go.
When we arrived, they were just going in. Since this is wood fired pizza, it didn’t take long (5 min?) before we had some of the best pizza I’ve had in a while. The pies were nice and saucy, in a juicy way, with a generous amount of good mozzarella. The sausage, pepper and onion pie was delicious, with no grease, even though it had unordered pepperoni on it as well.
It was a Mon night and the place was 80% full, even at 9 pm. A reflection of the quality food available.
Looking forward to coming here when I have some time to relax…

I had the French onion soup as an appetizer– fabulous (ps– they use provolone instead of Gruyère)! My guy had the best and arugula salad, and it was missing few beets. The dressing was good, but he mainly had the salad on its own. For dinner, I ordered the ahi tuna entrée– also fantastic, but it is a pretty light meal. It was served with a cucumber salad that was a bit overdressed, but the quality and flavor of the ahi made everything delicious. Oh, maybe a weird comment, but the seeds they used for the ahi were very flavorful. Michael had the beef tenderloin– he was only somewhat satisfied with it. It was covered in sauce, which instantly makes you nervous with a piece of steak.
The service, however, was a ten (or I guess 5 star quality)! I think her name was Joyce– funny, kind, and very attentive!

Cheap and great calamari. Clam chowder was great, lots of clams. Nice shrimp app.
Tables were tight, seats hard, and felt like eating at a bus stop. But would go back anyway.

Simple, friendly restaurant with a large menu and outdoor seating. Service was better than expected, but the food was just ok. Good, but not special. We needed to have a quick bite and this fit the bill.

We just had the most delicious meal! My wife has Celiac and the staff was educated and we got lucky and the owner was there. He was kind, informative and knowledgable about Gluten Free. We got the clam white pizza, spinach salad and I got the clam chowder (not gluten free but so delicious with different layers of flavors and nice clam chunks). The pizza was delicious. One of the best GF pizzas we have ever had. Crispy around, nicely cooked and great taste all around. The salad was out of this world. So many flavors happening at once in my mouth it was insanity! And the drinks! I had a crown and ginger, it was perfectly made and only $ 6! Next time I will have round #2! The staff was so friendly. We had the sweetest most on it waitress. She made for a really nice dining experience. Thank you.
We hope the owner has great success. He seems down to earth, professional and knows how to create the perfect restaurant. This place is a must! Put it on your rotation when visiting the Berkshires.
