New American Restaurants near Auburndale, MA

“Local live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Great staff, fantastic food, creative drinks, nice beer selection.“

“Great view of river, which I requested and easy ♿ access which we needed both in parking and table/doorways. Servers were polite! Would suggest adding more dessert choices tho the cheesecake round was good quality. Also, vacuuming happened nearby but we stayed from 1pm thru 245pm chatting. Thanks for the free parking“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Incredible food at the Chef’s Table. Amazing coordination between staff in a small space. Very friendly and accommodating. Probably the best meal I have ever had and I didn’t choose any of the courses!“

“Chef Robert passion for all things culinary AND climate change was on full display last night at Season to Taste's 100% plant-based multi course menu, in partnership with the 1 Million Tables campaign. If you care not only about delicious food but also, seasonal, fresh, responsibly sourced cuisine - and food that genuinely does good - for your gut microbiome, biodiversity on our planet and our ecological systems - then dining at this restaurant is a MUST-DO! Chef mentioned that they plan to include at least 2 plant-based appetizers and 2 plant-based entrees in their on going menu at all times. The dining room clearly lit up with this announcement. With more and more plant-based inclusions in their menu, Season to Taste could become Cambridge's very own "Eleven Madison Park"...watch out Chef Humm! :)“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“If you’re looking for the best place to eat in Needham, Cook is unequivocally it. The quality of the food is outstanding, and the only thing that rivals it is the exceptional service from the entire staff.

A special shoutout to Johnny. His genuine commitment to making every guest’s experience a great one is first class.

Cook has set the standard for what a neighborhood restaurant should be. In my opinion, it’s the best restaurant in Needham. It isn’t even close!“

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.“

“An excellent dinner. Purple carrots! Lemon potatoes! Tahini mushroom with an egg! Blue fish! Good service. Guy ran down The block to return my bracelet which had fallen off! They give you the check in a Copy of the Constitution! Recommend but why are you not accessible! Such a contradiction of your stated philosophy. Should at least put it on your website with your apology“

“Whipped Feta Dip was incredible. Nashville Chicken Sandwich with hot honey was great. My wife had a Fancy salad with grilled chicken that looked too healthy for me, but she raved about it. Service was great, everybody we interacted with was smart, friendly and upbeat. I'm eager to return.“

“DELICIOUS FOOD. Very different food fair with choices for all diets. Excellent, friendly service. Good cocktails. I’ll be back !“

“My wife and I came here to get a quick bite and some drinks and watch some World Cup. The servers were incredible and the food was delicious. We ordered the Salmon salad and the salmon was fresh and juicy. We also had the pretzel with their spicy mustard which was awesome. I had an IPA followed by the 75 bees which is a perfect drink in this hot weather. Not too alcoholic and sweet. My wife had the Hibiscus lemonade and she swears that’s one of the best lemonade’s she’s had in a long time. Super awesome place to visit“

“Cafe Weekend is a small brunch spot located right outside of Packard's Corner, located next to the busy intersection of Brighton Ave.

We came around brunch hours, and the place was packed but we were able to be seated nearly instantly. Staff was quick and friendly, seating us and taking our orders in a timely manner.

We tried the Nutella French Toast, Chocolate Chip Pancakes, and French Fries. The Fries took a little longer to get out, but the wait was worth it, as it was seasoned nearly perfectly and had great taste even without any dipping sauces. The chocolate chip pancakes were more of a souffle variety, and the chocolate drizzle was warm and the chocolate chips inside the pancakes were nicely melted within the pancake. The french toast was alright, not my personal favorite but overall was still pretty good.

Prices were pretty cheap, only about $30 for 3 people. The food also came out quite quickly. One downside was I didn't see any bathroom while inside, but I could be mistaken. Overall a great brunch spot and great place to try.“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“Food was great as was our server. There was a birthday celebrant with us and she was treated accordingly. The only issue to me was how loud the place was because it was quite full. There is no reason why noise buffers can't be used from the start when restaurants are designed.“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“Whenever I’ve been there, I have found the place to be cozy, the staff friendly and knowledgeable and the food has been delicious. At least what I’ve ordered.“

“Excellent Steak Frites, Faroe Island Salmon, Wild Boar Bolognese, an Ultimate Burger, and Truffle Fries. Check out their Valentine's Day Menu.“

“We recently had an event at Mothership and it was great! Kelly and her team helped get everything organized and answered my million questions in the weeks leading up to it. On the day of our event, the guests kept complimenting the food and telling us it was the best party ever. The staff setup decorations, made a candy bar, made custom menu items and cocktails for us, coordinated with our outside vendors, and kept everything running smoothly. Highly recommend!“

“Outstanding food and service. We had the focaccia, grilled broccoli, strawberry & burrata, patatas bravas, basil pasta, and pork belly. Everything was delicious. One member of our party was vegan, and our server very kindly marked up a menu of everything that could be made vegan. The olive oil & citrus cake for dessert was also delicious.“

“Food was great ! Had the join burger, a mojito and the cinnamon ice cream“

“Great time last night!! Highly recommend. This restaurant went above and beyond to accommodate a fundraiser that was held at the restaurant.“

“80 Thoreau is our favorite, quality local restaurant in Concord, MA. It never disappoints. We enjoyed their seasonal "Sea Bass" tasting menu. The crudo was something very memorable, and the suggested wine pairing was excellent. Emily was very helpful, and the entire staff contributed to make the meal a pleasurable experience.“

“This place has the best coffee in town. Their breakfast sandwiches are to die for. Lunch menu is just as good. Cookies, scones and muffins are all delicious. The owners Peter and Siri bend over backwards to please their customers. The register and serving crew Lisa and Isabel are great.“

“My bartender this night was Zack. He was intuitive and an informative bartender who brings atmosphere to those around him. The decor is colorful and inviting. Modern lighting, not to bright, but not too dark. Almost a space like atmosphere. Clean, tidy and top notch. The menu is inviting with many choices. Appetizers, meals and even desert...try the Ruben it is mouth watering! Also if Damian is working the kitchen that night your going to end up with the most flavorful meal. He is a master of his skills. I highly recommend the food, drinks and atmosphere.“

“The food is delicious and the drinks are soooo good. Especially the Salted Caramel Spiked Iced drink.“

“We were staying locally, and this place was recommended to us. We all tried something different - Tacos, Burger and Jambalaya. It was a busy Friday evening, and very crowded, which made it difficult to talk, but otherwise a good experience.“

“I haven’t been to Yard House in so long. I was starving so I decided to get dinner and go for a drink there. I ordered Lobster Garlic noodles, and for a drink I got a Twisted Tea. I was disappointed that they took Chocolate Cake off their menu that was always the best! But I got this big Oreo cookie brownie and it comes with Ice Cream on top with Caramel. It was very delicious. Also, the bartender lady with glasses who severed me was an excellent bartender! She was super sweet very friendly. I hope to come back again soon!“

“We have had breakfast lunch at Eli’s several times, and have always had a great experience. Creative offerings, delicious food, large portions, great service. If we lived closer, we would eat there more often. Highly recommend!“

“We dined at the bar at Branch Line last night and although it was insanely busy, everything was fantastic. Shoutout to Merrick and Manuela for taking great care of us (and to the other bartender, as well, very fun to watch him handle the service rush!)“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

“Friendly service and amazing food! My daughter had the grilled organic chicken sandwich and I had the mixed greens and arugula salad-- both were delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, and several other servers double checked on us and greeted us as they walked by. We will definitely be back.“

“Hidden gem! Classic bar with insanely good cocktails and food but keeping it real. Beet salad could compete with any high end restaurant. Smash burger and fries - no words. Oh pickle plate is a must - classic sweet to the unexpected root veg and snow pea mix. Great beers new and old. The bartender Mike brings it. He's cool and chill and makes the best subtle recommendations. Great fun to talk with. Great music, great vibe. Already planing a trip back for the reuben. Simple menu done right.“

“Great atmosphere,great food,reasonable“

“Blue On Highland is hands down my favorite restaurant in New England. Food is always top notch, drinks are top-tier, and service is impeccable. going back again soon!“

“Greens’ Grill is, by far,my favorite restaurant. Paul has assembled a fantastic crew with Chef Suey leading the way. No matter what you order you will never be disappointed. I highly recommend the Grill for dinner or your next function. Paul Sands“

“I give this restaurant 5 stars ⭐️ We actually came here to the Four points Sheraton hotel because my husband has doctors appointments nearby. The reason for the five stars is first the ambience of the restaurant was on point and comfortable not to pretentious . We were met by the hostess and she said we could sit wherever we wanted as it was a Monday evening (early ) We started with a Guinness for my husband and I wanted a red wine . The waitress recommended a wine that was very popular Valentines evening and I wanted a Malbec . She brought me a sampler of both and then decided to go with a Cabernet on the menu and thanked her for her recommendation. We started out with the wings that were cooked to perfection along with a mesquite bbq sauce . My husband and I both ordered the Bishop Burgers . He ordered it medium well with Swiss cheese and regular fries and I ordered mine medium with Cheddar and their specialty Rosemary fries which were heavenly . This restaurant is part of the restaurant but separate. It’s a well known restaurant in the neighboring city where all walks of life go to . Jeff the owner also came by to say hello and to make sue everything was to our satisfaction. A+ all around“

“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.“

“We always enjoy our meals at Buttonwood! Delish food, clever cocktails and fab service 🤩 special shoutout to Emily 👏“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“everything wonderful service food atmosphere“

“Wonderful restaurant and bar located in a lovely suburban setting. When you arrive, you are always greeted with a smile and it feels like home. The atmosphere and the food are top notch and you always feel better after having gone there!“

“Chef Dave's is a spectacular dining experience.The staff are incredibly friendly and Knowledgeable. The food is both creative and absolutely delectable.“

“everything was wonderful!“

“First time there, was on a whim due to a Google search for burgers. Snappy Patty’s did not disappoint!! The cheeseburgers, tots, and beignets were on point!! Delicious, well cooked, and well seasoned!!! I’m from the south and this is the FIRST place I have ever recommended for burgers. The decor is phenomenal!! The colors and pics on the wall.. you have to see it!! Everything from Sesame Street, Star Wars, to classic rockers are present on the walls!! The music is the perfect level!! You can talk and have as conversation, but still have background music. Something I have found is not always the case. The staff is unbelievable. I felt like I was a regular that had been going for years! The communication with ordering to hid the staff works senselessly together is an added bonus to this experience. Yes, experience.. when all your senses are activated.. a restaurant/bar isn’t just a place for food and drinks. It’s a place that comes to life. Check it out when you can and tell me if you don’t feel the same!! I already know I’ll be back. Enjoy!!“

“Good food and drinks; excellent service“
