Located at 1360 Curran Hwy, North Adams, MA, Pedrin's Dairy Bar has solidified its place as a beloved local fast-food haven. This seasonal gem is a culinary rite of spring for many families who have cherished memories spanning generations. The heart of Pedrin’s lies in its hearty offerings, including burgers, hot dogs with perfectly grilled buns, and their much-lauded fish fry sandwich, all at prices that won't break the bank.

Visitors rave about the homemade onion rings and clam rolls, with many returning year after year—some even driving from afar just to experience the offerings at Pedrin's. As customer Thomas Secor notes, the food is consistently good, and as Stephanie Attoumo enthusiastically states, there’s nothing like enjoying a meal while seated at one of the picnic tables, surrounded by the nostalgia of childhood visits.

Always the best! Been here for God knows how many years, just doing what they do. Fried dish and seafood, along with ice cream, on the side of the road. Food is good and prices are cheap.

You know Spring has sprung when Pedrins opens for the season. Local favorite for sure. Great burgers, hot dogs with the best grilled buns, homemade onion rings, fries, fish and chips, clam rolls, etc. They even have grilled cheese. Order at the window, find a picnic table and in a few minutes your deliciousness is ready. In the summer months they also have ice cream and milk shakes. I have such wonderful family memories of coming here as a child, bringing my child and now my grandchildren. North Adams would not be the same without Pedrins!! Cash only. There's an ATM right next door if you need it. Stop in and try their famous fish fry!

They have way more than fish and ice cream. And all of it is really good. Don't just stop by when you're driving Route 8; make it a destination.

Great food. Friendly staff. Just can’t wait for the spring/summer when Pedrin’s Dairy Bar opens up. I drive 1 hour to get my fish fry sandwich. Always a great experience. Highly recommended.

Passed this place on the way to Mass Moca and it was packed so we stopped on the way back. Good prices and good food. Nice seating area. No complaints.

Fun place to go eat. You can eat in your or sit on picnic tables if available. Wish they had a drive in theater here.

Very popular place. Large selection of fried foods and more. Mostly fried foods. Staff was very nice and helpful. Service was fast. On a pleasant day, it was great to sit out in the open at picnic tables, but there is a covered area with picnic tables for shade or rain protection. Ample seating available. More expensive than we expected.
