Terry,
Springfield has the best German Cuisine anywhere at the Student
Prince on Fort St. off of Main.Casual,relaxed,prices average($10-25).Its been there since 1930 and has a wonderful collection of German curios on display.I drive 60 miles to dine there!!
Other than the S.P. I go to North Hampton to The East Side Grille (eclectic) or La Cazuela(upscale Mexican) or North Star Seafood (sushi on the menu)
North Hampton has many other great eateries from Tai to Indian.
If you are into an hour ride visit our Berkshire Hills restaurants.The
Old Mill and John Andrews restaurants in South Egremont and many others are among the best!
Let me know if you need more info.
