Serious EatsFebruary 11, 2014Great Barrington's go-to spot for no-nonsense local fare prepared expertly. Go for pork, which comes from owner Mark Firth's own pigs.
Emily WilsonApril 29, 2018Mark, the owner, is the homie. Chill vibe, great food - order whatever, you can’t go wrong. If you’re staying the weekend in GB, you might as well come here every night for dinner.- Neil SolomonJanuary 1, 2015dined here on NYE! met Mark Firth, he was a gracious host. soft egg, fried chicken, cotechino, and scallops were stunning. get the sticky toffee pudding. great cocktails.
After buying a Monterey farm, the owners of Williamsburg's Diner just opened this new spot that serves their lamb & pork
David RosenbergJanuary 4, 2015The soft-egg starter is a winner as was the charming band playing the Saturday night we were there.
Mitra SalaselJanuary 9, 2016Chicken under a brick + whatever seasonal vegetables they have on the menu will be the best meal you have in the berkshires--so good!
Rory ParnessJuly 22, 2017Chicken under the brick was excellent, albeit a little bit salty. If you can get them to go a little lighter, would be perfect
Ryan GallagherFebruary 18, 2019Good new American restaurant. Menu changes frequently. Nice selection of natural wines. No reservations so be prepared to wait.- Mike KalenJanuary 17, 2016Awesome country style cafe. Brunch menu in the weekends. Try the fried chicken and bloody Mary's with smuttynose beer back!
Jon DubeMay 26, 2014Get the Coppa, which came from the owners personal pig - it was better than the Coppa I had in Piedmont Italy!
Roniel TesslerJuly 18, 2015That lemon scone. Get that. The sausages are amazing. Vibe is cozy and cute. Definitely worth the trip.
Matt RosenJuly 2, 2023Fried chicken nice and crispy but not too greasy, salmon special, and the almond cake dessert was🔥 🔥
David CarrOctober 27, 2017Chicken Liver Mousse app is awesome, everything fresh and delicious. Good service.
CharlottesFebruary 12, 2018Cute spot. I enjoyed brunch but my friend assured me dinner is where it’s at.
Ryan FedykFebruary 19, 2016A little piece of hipster in this remote location. We had a great meal here. Go for the steak.
Local foods, beer, stews, live music, ping pong. What's not to love?
- Cocktails, pasta, fried chicken, burgers... It's all good!
Fried chicken, local beers, everything is fresh, and the service is great.
Lockhart SteeleNovember 12, 2023A restaurant to return to over and over again, anytime when inside its 50-mile radius. The whale wins.
Stuart AdlerFebruary 15, 2016Although rated very highly by my peers on FourSquare, I found the food to be better than average but not worth the price. Overall a low value although farm to table ingredients were appreciated.
Restaurant is changing its name to The Prairie Whale, which means hog in 1800s America
Limited uninspired menu. pork belly sandwich nothing but fat. Better choices in the area.
WEI WEIOctober 19, 2015Great farm-to-table restaurant. Probably the best fried chicken I've ever had. And every pork dish was awesome
