About Us
WILLIAMSTOWN — Steve and Monica Lawrence marked the 20th anniversary of their well-known Williamstown restaurant, the Spice Root on Spring Street, by purchasing another.
The couple now runs the Chef’s Hat, at 905 Simonds Road, and promise to leave it largely unchanged, to the relief of staff and regular customers.
“We are not just owners, we are part of the team,” said Steve Lawrence. “You have to support each other — we’re not here just to make money, we’re here to create community.”
Fans of the Chef’s Hat needn’t worry about major changes, says Monica Lawrence. “We don’t want to change it because there are so many people with memories of this place, and some of them have been coming here since they were young,” she said.
The couple says they enjoy the restaurant business mostly because they get to meet people and make friends.
“This is my passion, my whole life,” Steve Lawrence said.
“He really is a people person,” said Monica Lawrence. “We both are.”
“We are local people, we have many friends here,” Monica Lawrence said. “And we are happy to accommodate all kinds of people. Everyone should feel like this is their place.”

Customer Reviews
First visit since new owners took over! Our server was absolutely wonderful. She made us feel like we’ve been regulars there for ever. Talked to us, didn’t just take an order. The food was great! I usually find it difficult to find something I can enjoy in a diner style restaurant (egg allergy) but I found something delicious to “hit the spot”! We’ll definitely go back and bring others.

Not the Chef’s Hat I’ve gone to before which was kind of Meh. Now under new ownership they really have improved to the point I think Williamstown now has a bonified breakfast place. Lunch offering were just as good. Had a reuben worthy of any city deli. I think others are discovering it too as I see their parking lot filling up these days.
– David

Off Route 7 connecting VT and MA, The Chef’s Hat has a lot to offer both breakfast and lunch. We tried their Monte Cristo and Waffle w/blueberries. Both were amazing and the service was friendly. Will definitely stop by again if in the area.
– N B
Excellent food, service and price. I recommend it to anyone.
– Linda C.
Pretty much the best breakfast around. Nice staff and management. Family friendly food.
– John B.
Awesome food. Just recently started doing gluten free pancakes and bread and having a gluten intolerance this is a plus. Super friendly staff.
