Massachusetts is known for its great restaurants, but it can be tough to pick the best one for a nice evening out with the family.

Consider Charred Oak Tavern, 57 Center Street, Middleboro. This fantastic spot has been named one of America's Best Restaurants.

Maybe we're biased here on the SouthCoast, but it's not hard to see why.

The bar and grill is perfect for dinner or a round of drinks with friends. The menu is full of mouthwatering appetizers such as loaded potato skins, nachos, fried pickles, pretzel bites and garlic shrimp.
