Stagecoach Tavern

I recently had a terrible experience at Stagecoach and I’d urge people to beware: The woman who serves as hostess refused to lower the blaring music in the private room where we had been seated, though there was no one else in the room at the time and my 80-year-old mother was upset by the din. In addition to refusing to lower the sound, this hostess became angry at my husband, who was so reasonable in asking for this courtesy, and she asked us to leave before dessert. We had been to the restaurant many times before: In fact, I had my 50th birthday dinner there. But we will never return, so long as this woman, who was so shockingly rude to us, remains there. And shame on the owners for tolerating an employee who could behave in such an appalling way to his/her customers.

As you drive down pitch-black Route 41 in Sheffield, MA, you see the twinkling lights outside the venerable Stagecoach Tavern and you wonder if it’s a mirage. As you head toward the front door, you feel as if you’ve stepped onto a soundstage at MGM circa 1941, where they are shooting a movie set at a quintessential New England tavern. Your heart skips a beat when you walk inside, because this restaurant is cozy, quirky and authentic with a crackling wood-burning fireplace. Thankfully, the food is contemporary county cuisine and the chef uses local, organic ingredients whenever possible. The salads ($6 - 7) are large and fresh, the grilled hangar steak ($24) is intensely flavorful and comes with a choice of two sides such as olive oil smashed potatoes, creamed spinach and roasted mushrooms. One regular we know skips the entrees entirely and makes a meal of the sides.
