The Briar Patch Restaurant in Amherst

It had been some time since our last visit but we were not disappointed. Food and service was great.

Best steak in the world! Always cooked perfectly the way you order and melts in your mouth. Everything at this restaurant is delicious. Only downside is parking gets tight when they are busy and waits can be long.

I was in the mood for some really good French Onion Soup and my husband said it sounded good to him too. I had looked at the menu for the Briar Patch restaurant and the picture of it looked really good so we chose to come try it. Plus some said it was good. We weren't disappointed! It was delicious!! Lots of delicious caramelized onions full of flavor and yummy, gooey cheese melted on top of a small piece of bread. You know it's good when my husband uses his finger to get the last bit of cheese left on the edges he can't get off with the spoon and then inspects my bowl to see if there's any on mine he can get.     They had a special on their crab cake sandwich   $11, so we both ordered that as well. It came with ranch style potatoe wedges and some ranch dressing on the side. It was good. It wasn't lump crab but definitely backfin crabmeat and plenty of it with some flavoring. Then a nice light, crispy coating and lightly fried. One of the better crab cakes we've had so far in this area. For dessert we shared a piece of their Derby Pie. Like a yummy, warm chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream on top and drizzled with chocolate sauce. We both enjoyed it. Don drank a Pepsi and I had their house made sweet iced tea which was perfect because it wasn't too sweet. I look forward to coming back and trying other things on their menu. Our waitress, Brittany, was nice and efficient. They were busy when we arrived but everything came out within a reasonable amount of time. I think considering all we ordered the total bill before tip was reasonable too ($46.12). I'd like to add that the ladies restroom is extremely handicap friendly...
