The Massachusetts Restaurant In The Middle Of Nowhere That’s So Worth The Journey

This restaurant describes itself as a "bit off the beaten track." That's definitely accurate.

Located in South Egremont and just a quick jaunt from the state border, the John Andrew’s Restaurant is definitely a departure from the everyday. With food this good and atmosphere this enchanting, you definitely won't regret the travel time.

The first thing you’ll notice about this restaurant is how tucked away it is.

This farm-to-table restaurant offers three different menus that are inspired by international flavors, but are definitely firmly rooted in classic American cuisine.

Built in the 1700s, the structure is surrounded by a beautiful natural forest landscape and carefully cultivated gardens.

The food here is sourced from local farms and food makers. The restaurant focuses on celebrating the unique food culture of the Berkshires.

There’s a sweeping lawn out back that’s perfect for letting the little ones stretch their legs during dinner, or taking a refreshing post-meal stroll.Take in the sights and sounds of nature on the beautiful, festive terrace surrounded by the lush forests of the southern Berkshire hills.

Inside, you’ll find a cozy hearth and plenty of warm, delicious food.

Start your meal with a simple spread of roasted, whole-clove garlic, savory and sweet spreads, and a few hunks of simple yet mouthwatering farmer-style bread.

Try the soft shell crab while it's in season, or sample one of the myriad other scrumptious dinner offerings.

Housemade focaccia, anyone?

If you don't want to sit down for dinner, stop in for a drink and a snack. There's a casual bar menu available every day except Wednesday.

This place is also an amazing event space. Their catering is out of this world.

You'll want to come back to this hidden Berkshire gem again and again.
