Spencer Country Inn

We went Thursday for the Italian Buffet. Food was delicious, hot, and fresh. Cloth tablecloths and attentive waitress = excellent meal! We will be back! We can’t believe it was only $ 10.95 pp! Well worth the trip to Spencer!

I came here for a wedding tour, and the owner seemed really nice, and on top of things. however I could not get past the antique items in the Banquet Hall. I know someone who will be getting married here this summer but I think I will keep on looking for myself. They ARE very affordable and it seems like a good option. I do like the charm of the place, I just wish it had more lighting in the hall and also they didn’t have all of those random items in the room. I did not eat here, and I live over and hour away, but they do have some good buffet specials on Wed nights. wish I could try that out at least!

My wife and I toured the Spencer Country Inn as a possible wedding venue several years ago. While doing so, we stayed for their breakfast buffet. The facility didn’t end up fitting our vision of «the big day,» but that is not at all the fault of the Inn; to say it was beautiful would be a gross understatement. The Spencer Country Inn has a delightful rustic feel that welcomes every guest who makes the trip.
The food was absolutely exquisite at well, which is a high compliment considering we only ate breakfast. While I cannot quite recall the exact details of the spread, I can assure that we did not walk away hungry. Options were multitudinous, and all were delicious. I can highly recommend the Spencer Country to anyone in Central Mass interested in a good breakfast!

Mediocre. We went on a Friday night with a wedding rehearsal dinner party. Service is friendly but extremely slow, food was mediocre. The building is old and has a lot of neat vintage artifacts, and that’s probably this place’s only forte. No one in our group of 12 absolutely loved their food. One steak was sent back and one piece of fish was complained about for days. We wouldn’t go back here in the future.

The Spencer Country Inn has everything you are looking for; to it’s old country charm, delicious food at the right price and great service. It is the best place to hold a wedding. It is like going home.

My husband and I got married here, and people are still talking about how great the food was. We had a buffet, nothing fancy, but everything was delicious! More importantly, everything was well within our budget. We got married outside on a beautiful day in July.
Phyllis was extremely helpful and our wedding day went off without a hitch. Since we had a daytime wedding, they let us rent out the tavern downstairs for an after-​party, too. The rooms are very reasonably priced.
My dad now lives a few miles from the inn and he dines there frequently. Good, old-​fashioned cooking. Bring your parents, they will love it.

We recently went to the Spencer Country Inn with a group of friends. Half of us ordered the sirloin steak and the other half ordered the stuffed chicken. The restaurant is lovely inside with very rustic décor and many unique decorations. Our server was very pleasant and attentive. We were served a fresh small garden salad, it was good the dinner rolls were fresh but very cold. We were offered steamed broccoli or ratatouilla, baked potato, rice or red bliss. Our meals arrived and we certainly we’re impressed. The steaks looked great the chicken came with gravy which two people requested not to have. Thernew as no problem with getting the chicken without the gravy. We were very glad we had very sharp steak knives. Not one of the four people in our party was able to cut this horrid piece of meat without «sawing» it. This meat was so tough and in edible, every person left at least eighty percent of it on their plate. The baked potato was perfect as we’re the red bliss potatoes. The ratatouille got mixed reviews some ok others saying it was tasteless. I like my broccoli raw when I am having it with a dip as an appetizer. This «steamed» broccoli was probably passed over a steaming pot. The chicken was atrocious, only one person in our party ate more than one third of it. Ok so you have a bad meal, good service but not one person was asked how the meal was. The steak cost $ 18.95 and the chicken was $ 15.95. Coffee was offered and accepted and charged $ 1.50 a cup. Terrible steak so tough it needed to be sawed, the chicken was tasteless, the only good thing was the company of our friends and the atmosphere. Oh, the coffee was very good.
To add insult to injury the room was frigid. If you go you may get lucky, but don’t count on it.

We had dinner here. We also attends a wedding here.
The dining room dinner was ok. Service was slow even though they were not busy. The side Salad was small but good. I had the chicken ala king. Nothing fancy and not very tasty. Hubby had the stuffed chicken. That was good and flavorful. Rolls were not good. The cheese and crackers were a nice addition. Prices were on the high side. I probably would not have come here again had it not been for the wedding. My rating for this was 2 stars.
The wedding was much better. For being the last table the food was very prompt and not much later than table number one. Very impressed.
The stuffed chicken was juicy and very tasty. It came with baked potatoes (with sour cream) and mixed veggies. The rolls were fresh. Prime rib was on the rare side but large and tasty. The sides were the same. Soup and salad with the entrée. The layout of the seating was nice and not overbearing. Staff was very friendly. My rating for this event was 4.5.
I picked the rating based on both of these events.

When my fiancé and I were looking for a reception site, we fell in love with the Spencer Country Inn. It was everything we were looking for; it had the old country charm, delicious food at the right price and great service. The food is fantastic and Phyllis (the owner) does not up-​charge for weddings. If the chicken marsala is $ 14.95 on the dinner menu, it is $ 14.95 on the wedding menu also. In addition, she does not charge a fee to use the facility. Other places we looked charged $ 4,000 or more to use the facility and that got you nothing, but access to the grounds. NOT the Spencer Country Inn… you pay for your food. She has owned it since 1981 and her exact words were «when I got married, I did not think it was fair that I had to pay a rental fee, so I don’t want to do that to my brides.»
Phyllis catered to all of my requests and executed them perfectly. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. People could not stop talking about how delicious it was. I can not speak highly enough of both Phyllis and her assistant (Louisse). Even if you’re just going there for dinner it is fantastic. The brunch on Sunday is only $ 10.95 and it is phenomenal. (I questioned it because it was so «cheap», but it was amazing!)
Check it out… it’s worth it!
