Club dinner party...sudden change in number of people attending but it was no problem for the staff and the extra places were set up before most of the people arrived. This was our 10th year celebrating here and the service and food always excellent.
First visit Saturday place was busy many private events plus restaurant. Service was slow but not her fault. She stopped by asking for patience I understand why kitchen was Swamped but food was top notch every bit Service was the best all your waitresses need to be rewarded. Thank you 💛 Don Rab
On April 26th we had our Moms Celebration of Life. It was absolutely perfect. Mike and the staff that day made it amazing. The food was delicious the staff were so sweet. So Thank you Princeton Station for making Jonis send off one to remember. Lynne Teichert
In my 10 years of being in a big family we ALWAYS have issues with our meals because there is 13+ of us! It's sometimes expected. Today I was completely impressed with the service from here. Our server Tiffeny was beyond amazing!!! Didn't miss a beat and was so polite! Thank you for the wonderful dining experience! We will be back for sure! && of course the food was delicious! Only took photos of my husband and I's food. The surf and turf was a fav and the fries were hot and crunchy and smooth.
Salads are all fresh & plentiful, the appetizers are all delectable, so you can’t go wrong. We have had chicken piccata, baked haddock as well as baked scalloped dinners & have never been disappointed. Servers are all knowledgeable of the menu & serve with such up beat personality. We Highly Recommend a visit to Princeton Station for your next dining out experience!
Food is always amazing never disappointed. Service is always good, my boyfriend and I had Kylie as our server and she was phenomenal. So friendly so helpful, and the food came out in a timely manner never felt like we were waiting on anything. Atmosphere was great, no bright lights, relatively quiet. Menu is not cheap but not expensive.
Party of 2 for lunch on 6/10/25 It’s a very large restaurant with huge bar and banquet areas. Nice decor and tables/chairs. I’ve developed an opinion that if a restaurant is packed with elderly customers (like this place was today) then generally the food isn’t good. We later learned it was a college reunion taking advantage of the ample space and service. Calamari was good, perhaps losing its batter too much, and we asked for a side of their Bayou sauce which was a good addition. Wedge salad was excellent perfect cheese to dressing ratio. Stuffed haddock was fresh and huge and burger was also great and cooked perfect. My only complaint was the fries, but so what! Dine with confidence here. Princeton Station is much better than their Google rating.
10/10 Experience at Princeton Station – Chelmsford I want to give a huge two-thumbs-up to Matt (Manager) and Nick (Server). I go out often and try different restaurants, and I can honestly say Nick is one of the best servers I’ve ever had — incredibly attentive, personable, and great to talk with. I had a special diet request, and both Matt and Nick went above and beyond to make sure it was taken care of. They didn’t just accommodate me — they made my day. I ordered the ribeye with salmon, and my guest had the filet. Both dishes were outstanding. Highly recommend this place. Excellent service, great food, and phenomenal staff. 10/10. Will definitely be back!
Alwats great food and drinks. Our waitress, Kimberly, was very helpful and knowledgable about the daily and seasonal specialties. We both chose fish this time but have also had thier steak and seasonal options are always a good choice.
Went to Princeton Station in Chelmsford for dinner this past Sunday & we were very pleased with the visit. Our waitress Sara was fabulous, running around all night, big kudos to her & the great customer service. We started with some cocktails, complimentary garlic bread, & some super tasty buffalo tenders. He went with the 24oz prime rib & I had the mixed grill which included delicious steak tips, chicken, & Italian sausage. The maple carrots were one of my favorite sides. The portions were huge & we left with a couple meals to take home. #chelmsfordma #massachusettsfood #newenglandeats #dinnerdate❤️
