We felt rushed to put in an order, but then it took 15 mins to get a first round of drinks and over an hour for our entree. Our server Micah gave great suggestions and recs, but overall service was mediocre.
Creamed spinach was the most satisfying item served. Au gratin potatoes were tasty but measly portion. We had the tomahawk for 2 and it looked like a ribeye and filet plated with a random bone. With upgraded sides it was $134 and not worth the price at all. The photo is after we started dividing food but before we ate anything.

After driving by Porterhouse on a weekly basis, we finally decided to give it a try for an early (time) anniversary dinner. We were promptly greeted, and sat, menus were left and we were told someone would be over shortly. Menu was small, but looked good none the less. Having read a few reviews and seeing images of the french onion soup I was definitely looking forward to trying it for myself. There were 2 other tables with patrons (one of which was just leaving) plus a couple of people at the bar. 15 minutes later, still no waitstaff. Then finally voices! A waitress at the other table near us taking that table’s orders and I was about salivating at the thought of the soup and hearing what the specials could be and…she’s gone without even a glance our way. I gave it another 5 minutes before standing and putting on my coat with my wife following suit. The other table were just as shocked as we were, and said as much, that no one had come over as they had already had a full round of drinks, working on their second as they placed their order. As we walked out, the hostess didn’t bat an eye or ask us if everything was okay. Twenty minutes without so much as an acknowledgement from anyone that worked there (other than the hostess…on the way in) is ridiculous.

Shout out to Chef Ken for the amazing food. I bragged about a certain appetizer to my children not realizing it was a dinner appetizer and I basically begged my waitress Lauren for it. These fantastic people went out of their way to make it happen. I greatly appreciate what they did for us going above and beyond for me and my family. Hands down the best staff!

I was working in Charlton, Massachusetts on a beautiful 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey and I asked our wonderful customer where is a good local and non-chain place to eat. He contacted his daughter whom dines out frequently with her husband and she immediately recommended Sturbridge Porterhouse which was about 11 miles away. Sturbridge Porterhouse is a simple, upscale, casual and cozy steakhouse with great food, beverages, wines, beers, and alcoholic drinks. They have a simple menu that is not too busy and has something for everyone. You can have a delicious and fresh meal coupled with warm, friendly, and very attentive customer service. The establishment is a really popular place with the locals and it is definitely a “Refreshing Change from the Chains!” It can get very busy in there and so arrive early and you won’t be disappointed!
Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by the host, Audrey. She was very sweet, friendly, pleasant, professional, and had a genuine smile. It was a Monday around 07:00 PM and I was immediately seated, provided with menus and my beverage order taken. Micah G. was my server and he smiled, welcomed me, and immediately introduced himself. I was fine with water, no ice, and four lemons. I explained to Micah that I was referred to the restaurant by a customer’s daughter who raved about the Honey & Chili Chicken Wings, Mushrooms, Brussel Sprouts, Tomahawk, and steaks.
I indicated to Micah that I was hungry and wanted a fabulous meal but that I could not eat all of those menu items. More importantly, I had to travel 245 miles afterwards so I did not want to feel fatigued. He said that you have to get the Honey & Chili Chicken Wings and a steak. He recommended the Ribeye but I do not like that cut of steak so I selected the New York Strip Steak and Honey & Chili Chicken Wings.
For an appetizer, I ordered the Honey & Chili Chicken Wings. For my entree, I ordered the New York Strip Steak Medium Rare with Whipped Mashed Potatoes, and Green Beans. Shortly afterwards, Micah brought out my Honey & Chili Chicken Wings. The wings were exactly as described and absolutely delicious with a little kick! Micah brought out a hot and wet dinner napkin which was neatly curled as opposed to packaged ‘Wet Naps’ which were a nice touch. Just as I was cleaning up the delicious wings- Micah was bringing out my entree with perfect timing. Everything was absolutely delicious and my meal was prepared, portioned, cooked to perfection, and served hot! The steak was definitely aged meat and it melted in my mouth. Micah was very attentive, friendly, efficient, and happy to help! In short, the great food and awesome customer service made for an awesome dinning experience! I will definitely be returning here when we are in the Sturbridge, Massachusetts area to try some of their other appetizers, entrees, specials, and dessert. Kudos to Micah G., (Server), Audrey (Host), and Sophia (Bartender)!

Coming from the Midwest, I am used to good steak restaurant chains, but today I found my favorite in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. The restaurant offers a very casual vibe divided between lounge and restaurant, but the food is among the best qualities that so far I have encountered with the big chains in the Midwest. That is no small feat! I like to add that as a single visitor to the area, I was enjoying my dinner at the bar and Tony the bartender did his utmost to keep the atmosphere comfortable and his clients satisfied to the max. I rarely write reviews, but in this case, I felt it was fully justified. Kudos to the Porter House steak restaurant and it’s amicable stuff.

Very friendly service, thank you.
$50 steak was full of gristle.
Beer on tap, flat.
Not worth a second chance.

Visiting from RI, my husband and I went to Sturbridge Potterhouse to celebrate our anniversary, we both had filet mignon made to perfection, melt in your mouth; the asparagus and green beans were so nicely crisp, and the whipped and potatoes gratin were amazing! To our surprise, the oysters Rockefeller were insanely good! I can leave out the apple walnut chopped salad, it was delicious. The only downside is the lackluster ambiance if that is what you are looking for. Our waiter Mica was the best!

Came here with some friends for a dinner date and were all very pleased with absolutely everything. The number one aspect of a dining experience is the service, for me. Erin, our server, absolutely crushed it! She was on point, helpful, and super duper sweet! Plus, the drinks were a-may-zing. We’ll definitely be back!
