“I’m a regular at Southborough location. I will remain a customer, but will say that the quality assurance in the kitchen is slipping. My last 3 orders were fouled up in some way.“

“I want to give a shout out to Kennedy’s! I had my daughters 16th birthday dinner in the greenhouse! It was fantastic. The area that they transform into a winter wonderland is just amazing. Excellent food, service and atmosphere! It was truly memorable for my daughter!“

“I recently placed a large order (14 pizzas, plus salad) for our monthly work meeting. I can't say enough good things about the awesome customer service, and the quality of the food! Everything was hot and delicious. They have a great selection of your standard pizza shop varieties, but also offer some interesting and unusual offerings. I highly recommend the 'Don't be an Ah-so'! I will definitely be ordering from The Corner Market again!“

“The only thing better than easy street is cheesy street and boy did we have an experience.

The service was TOP NOTCH. They customized my sandwich as requested.

Best breakfast I’ve ever gotten at a rest stop!

Their breakfast sandwiches are DELICIOUS and TWICE the size of a Dunkin or Starbucks SANGWICH.“

“Great food and AWESOME service. Gina - thank you for best service - you absolutely make the best cappuccino 🩷“

“The goat cheese, fig and carmelized onion sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I’ve had anywhere! My husband’s Mac and cheese was also good. But get the sandwich. So good! And the woman at the counter was very nice as well.“

“A GREAT Hot Dog and a cool and tasty Italian Ice. Fresh, soft buns for the dogs with a huge assortment of fixings. I selected a half and half Ice of Strawberry and Watermelon. The strawberry was refreshing and delicious but was NOT sickly sweet. The Watermelon was wonderful and did not have that chemical taste that so many watermelon-flavored products have. It was very natural tasting and was really awesome with the strawberry (I recommend it). A GREAT PLACE TO TAKE THE KIDS, or for a first teenage date! Also, a perfect place for day workers in Sudbury to get quick and delicious lunch.“

“We love seeing small, locally run restaurants like Wemmy’s raise the bar while still keeping things warm and personal. It’s clear their team puts intention into both the food and the experience.“

“Restaurant 45 is one of the best I’ve been to in a while! I stopped in with my dad the other day and was happy we were able to grab a table. This wasn’t my first time at 45, I’ve had a graduation party there before. However, it did remind me I have to go back more often.

The restaurant itself is nice. Plenty of parking and lots of room inside of the building. They have many rooms for functions set up as well.

Our waitress was Nikki, and she’s fantastic. Great personality, bubbly, and helpful. I was very happy to have her! This night I ordered the chicken Loretta but had it over pasta. This was probably one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. The pasta was cooked expertly, chicken was nice and crisp, and the ricotta mixture was the perfect amount of creamy. I would highly recommend Restaurant 45 to anyone who wants a great meal!“

“Had a great meal last night - showed up a little later after a high school b-ball game and had fast service, great servers, and amazing food. I was starving because I missed lunch - had tuna tartare app (best I have had in a while), ceased salad starter, and halibut entree. All courses were A+!“

“Both Sam and Jess are wonderful, personable servers with a warm friendly personal 5 stars!“

“Un ambiente elegante y muy relajado, con un menú delicioso, lo mejor de la noche para mi fue el plato de Salmón, estaba espectacular, la atención excelente, la amabilidad de la persona que nos atendió increíble, en español y portugués, nos sentimos a gusto de verdad, volveremos muy pronto👌“

“Amazing food! We went for a special wi e night and service was perfect, food was amazing!“

“Stopped by today for a late breakfast. Truly amazing!! Chef Jerry He did an outstanding job constructing a culinary masterpiece of my favorite breakfast Eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was creamy and one of the best I've had!! The maple ham stacked on top of a really nicely buttered bread was incredible!! Definitely worth the trip and we will be back again!!“

“Welly’s has that classic family-owned diner feel with comforting American favorites and consistently friendly service. It’s one of those places where everyone feels welcome, and the food always hits the spot!“

“Really amazing steak tips!“

“I frequent this deli as the ones in my town are not that great. It helps that my son loves Superette sandwiches and subs. The turkey Fitzgerald is a classic and their bread and meats are always fresh. Also a plaid we can get Framingham Baking Pizza without having to go all the way to Framingham. Probably go back every 2 weeks.“

“Food and atmosphere was amazing.“

“Milford - First time in, did not love what I ordered and not only was it taken off our bill, but the manager gave us a $25 gift card to come back…that’s excellent customer service which impressed us. Flatbread was excellent, waitress was very kind and attentive and lots of local teens working which was really nice to see. Can’t wait to come back! ❤️“

The food was delicious and the patio is a great space. For a good drink, I recommend their Mai Tai! I would definitely go back.“

“I just discovered this gem after moving from Philly to Natick 2 years ago. I am obsessed. It was like I was eating my mom’s or grandmom’s best and freshest homemade soups (which nothing has ever been able to compare to until now). Low sodium options are amazing - you can’t find from scratch, quality ingredient made stuff like this easily. I will be a regular customer!“

“Anna's food feelings like mom's home cooking. She knows exactly how I like my food and remembers me everyday. She greets me like an old friend. She always makes sure I am fed and is very aware of my allergies. I will always recommend this place.“

“My wife and I are regulars at Kennedy's Pub, and we usually sit at the bar. Bartender Billy is as nice a guy as you can find, and he also makes a great martini. The food is consistently excellent, and their prime rib special as well as their clam chowder are the best in the world, and that is not an exaggeration. The atmosphere is cozy and down-to-earth. We feel very fortunate to live so close to such a wonderful neighborhood restaurant!“

“Such great service and food. I must say though, the last time we were there I wasn’t a fan of the 10 year old coming up to our table acting like she was a server. Won’t be coming back if it happens again.“

“I was early an hour and 20 minutes for my 12 o'clock. Appointment and I didn't have a breakfast, so I happen to spot this right around the corner, and I have to say, I've had the best onion, bagel sausage, egg and cheese, sandwich that I've had. In a long, long time and home fries were really good too. The staff was wicked friendly and I felt very comfortable in there.I would recommend it 😎👍“

“Occasionally we catch up with dear friends at the Berlin, MA location. Hospitality and service have been exceptionally kind here on every visit. Special shout out to Becca for being so attentive on our most recent outing. Really made our day.“

“I had another great experience at Applebee's in Milford thanks to Abriana and Sean behind the bar. From the moment I sat down, they were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable to talk to.

The drinks were perfectly made, service was prompt, and they kept everything running smoothly even as things got busy. What really stood out was how well they balanced great service with great conversation, making everyone at the bar feel welcome and taken care of.

It's not often you find bartenders who can create such a fun, relaxed atmosphere while still staying on top of everything, but Abriana and Sean do it effortlessly.

If you're stopping in, I highly recommend grabbing a seat at the bar. They truly elevate the whole experience. 🍻“

“Visited Dudley Chateau for lunch today with my grandson on his half-day of school. What a nice surprise! Service was prompt and there were many lunch choices. Kids menu, too. I'll be back with a friend in a few weeks. Found Dudley Chateau on Goggle looking for places for lunch in Sudbury/Wayland.“

“Favorite restaurant. Treat yourself to Christmas at the Wayside, or any occasion for that matter. Food is excellently prepared, waitstaff is attentive and you just can't beat the atmosphere of a large Colonial fireplace and really old hardwood floors! Highly recommend the Indian Pudding. Delightful.“

“The best breakfast & food service in town, and possibly anywhere around by a long shot. They truly go above and beyond to make everyone’s experience exceptional.

I’ve driven cross country 9 times and have eaten at countless breakfast spots locally and all over the country, and this is still my favorite place anywhere. I honestly feel so lucky that a place this good is right here in my own town.

The food is consistently incredible, the portions are generous, everything is fresh and cooked exactly how it should be, and there’s clearly a lot of care that goes into what they serve. Their sauces are absolutely to die for, you will want to put them on everything.

The service is what really sets them apart. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome and taken care of, and that kind of genuine effort is getting harder and harder to find.

I’ve tried a LOT of breakfast places over the years, including some that are highly recommended and well-known, and I still find myself comparing them to this place. Somehow, this little local spot continues to win.

If you’re anywhere nearby, go here. If you live in town and haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out.

This isn’t one of those reviews where I’m trying to convince myself that a place is great because it’s local. I’ve had the opportunity to eat all over the country, and this is genuinely my favorite.

10/10, every time.“
