Step inside, and you're greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the generosity of the portions and the rich flavors on the menu.

But it’s not just about the chicken. Sookie’s burgers are equally impressive: think thick, juicy patties topped with cheddar cheese and crispy bacon on the Bacon Cheeseburger, or the indulgent, flavor-packed Mac and Cheese Burger that merges two comfort classics into one unforgettable bite.

On the side, the freshly cut fries—whether classic or tossed in garlic parmesan—are crispy and perfectly seasoned. The Onion Rings stand out with their ideal batter-to-onion ratio, delivering a crunchy, flavorful bite every time. For something a bit different, try the Baked Beans or the fun Southern-inspired Frito Pie, giving you a taste of home-style soul food.
End your meal on a sweet note with Sookie's signature desserts, like their delightfully crispy Fried Ice Cream or the whimsically nostalgic Cotton Candy Ice Cream. If you’re dining with little ones, the well-rounded kids’ menu ensures even the smallest appetites find something tasty and satisfying, from grilled cheese with fries to crispy chicken tenders.

I'm posting the exact review I sent the owner directly... I'm THAT happy with this place. It's EXCEEDINGLY rare I post reviews This positive... Take your time and check this place out. I promise it'll make it worth your while. Holy... Cow(edited for Google) ... Excuse my French but that's all I could think of trying you for the first time tonight on GrubHub. (will review you once it finally marks as delivered, driver was so fast still says en route). Absolutely amazing! I've been down south to Texas looking for some good home style cooking ever since I last visited a good friend there in Plano and... This is the first time it's felt like I went back! Just stellar! Got the fried chicken sandwich and pork BBQ fries, son got the grill cheese and fries and wifey mushroom burger. All loved everything! Will definitely be repeat customers, we've been in the area for two years and just now tried you. I only wish I had sooner! A++ all around. And I run a bakery for a living I know food. Love it!
Very very tasty but not too spicy Nashville hot chicken sandwich! Crispy, juicy, hot to the last bite and real chunky blue cheese it was amazing! The onion rings were the perfect batter to onion ratio with amazing breading. The Hawaiin burger was very exciting as well, definitly great for a affordable meal.
First time here and I'm very impressed! Chicken was juicy with nice crisp skin, fries were perfectly cooked, and the coleslaw was fantastic (and this is from a coleslaw connoisseur). I'll be back!
What a great find! The food was delicious, apparently never frozen and homemade on site. The prices are the most reasonable I've seen since COVID. The young lady at the counter was super helpful in explaining how the food was prepared and really 'talked up' the culinary skills of the lady in the back doing the prep work and cooking. They did not disappoint! A case study in how to get a 5 star review: serve delicious food at reasonable prices with a cheerful attitude.
Best eats in Leominster! Big, fresh burgers that make this veggie lover drool. Awesome fried chicken in all its forms. Amazing fries: russet and sweet. Excellent children's menu. It's delicious and costs my family of three less than $40 for a great dinner. What more could you want? Seriously the best kept secret in town
Best burger in the area! I had the buffalo chicken fries - amazing and a huge portion for the price. Fried chicken was good too! We will definitely be back. Not much to look at but clean, friendly staff, attentive service. Prices were very reasonable.
I'm not exactly sure why some of these reviews are so critical. I've been going to sookies for around 2 - 3 months at this point, the food is very good for the price! They do almost everything in house and to my knowledge nothing appears to be frozen. Even the fries are cut fresh. There are some things on the menu that need improvement for sure, but for the most part this place is great! The foods good, reasonably priced and theres a wide variety of stuff to get.
