We had an excellent lunch at 51 Park Restaurant. The burgers are fabulous, the service was excellent, and they have some great beer options as well. The old inn style atmosphere offers some cozy options. In good weather you can dine on the porch too!

This restaurant is in a Victorian house with a beautiful porch and outdoor seating. Pub fare featuring wood fired pizzas and burgers. It was quite busy on a weeknight. Once we got our server tho’ everything went pretty quickly. There were lots of locals there so we knew it was a good choice. We had the coconut chili shrimp and a fig, bacon and goat cheese pizza. Both were outstanding. The prices are very reasonable. Loved it!

(Note: I write these reviews in part for my own nationwide business clients, for travel and activity inspiration. Follow me for more! I’m a financial planner - CFPpractitioner - with a focus on retirement wealth strategies, primarily serving business women and LGBTQ individuals. #VirtualPlanningCraftedWithCare) I was out for dinner during a business trip on a Saturday evening. It was raining so we didn’t get to sit outside but they have a nice looking patio. The food is great. I immediately noticed that the menu was marked to indicate gluten free options. This was important for me and really made my experience better. We also noted on the website that it’s a scratch kitchen. Brussels sprouts were very good and so was my salad pizza! The service was good but we definitely noticed that our server was running around quite a bit and she seemed a little inexperienced. Overall, she was friendly brought us what we needed. This establishment appears to be family friendly (they have a kids menu) and equally suitable for a group of adults. Not a particularly quite or romantic venue. They are step up for people with mobility needs. And the entire area of the Berkshires is generally LGBTQ friendly. In terms of prices, it wasn’t cheap but very much in-line with what I’d expect for the quality. All in all, we had a good experience here. Thanks!

A little more expensive than I expected but food was really good and worth the price. The steak and the mac and cheese was really tasty. Drinks were also very well made and great.

Great surprise! The food was excellent, the service outstanding!! My partner has a gluten intolerance and there are many items on the menu to accommodate this. Even dessert! Highly recommend!! Great dining spaces inside and out. The short ribs were not only delicious but also gluten free!!

It is good find in Berkshires for food. Town is very small and not much happening compared to Great Barrington. Tried Nashville chicken wings which are spicy and delicious. Asparagus side great. Crab cakes mediocre. Stake tips

Absolutely phenomenal experience at 51 Restaurant and Tavern in Lee, Massachusetts! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional — especially thanks to Sydney, who truly elevated our night. She took the time to walk us through the drink and food menu with such care and knowledge. Her personalized recommendations were spot on — including a phenomenal stout and a Maple Manhattan that my husband said was the best he’s ever had! We started with a pizza topped with spicy sausage, and it was perfection — bold, robust flavors with just the right balance of garlic, herbs, and a perfectly crisp crust. For our entree, we ordered the Easter special: a creamy garlic lemon panko-crusted mahi tuna served with a flavorful rice medley and roasted Brussels sprouts. The tuna was cooked beautifully, and those Brussels sprouts? Hands down the best I’ve ever had — tender, caramelized, and bursting with flavor. I seriously wanted to bottle the creamy lemon sauce and take it home! This restaurant is a gem — from food to cocktails to service. We’ll absolutely be back!

Amber took care of our pop in party of 11 with no hiccups. She knew the menu well, and she was able to answer every question without hesitation. The food was delicious, hot, and served in a very timely manner. A
