Restaurants in Brighton

“Food with something that speaks to your soul”

“Went only once last night so don't want to knock any stars. But, my biggest suggestion is that please include pictures of sake bottles (even just labels) next to the title on your online menu. Right now, it's paragraphs after paragraphs of many many sakes. I got analysis paralysis after a few seconds.”

“I am Thai and I highly recommend trying the Yum Salmon if you enjoy seafood with explosive flavor sauce/dressing instead of plain wasabi, and don’t miss out on the papaya salad for a wonderful balance of flavors. Pair it all with the pandan leaf drink for a complete experience!”

“Had my doubts, I went to the restaurant relatively late at night, and the atmosphere was a bit creepy, maybe because of the lighting. But the staffs are very friendly, and the food is incredible, especially with the price point. Will be coming back, maybe I'll try dining in next time...”

“Great Food , Good atmosphere”

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.”

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰”

“Everytime we are in the area, Pino's is our go to. Even if we go out to another restaurant, we get a Pino's Pizza to take home. The best pizza around.”

“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.”

“yum food! definitely have been meaning to go here for a while, seating is kind of tight and moving around the restaurant is slightly awkward but very friendly service and very cute interior :))”

“It was One of my best experience The food customer service delicious food I recommend to very one to try this friendly place”

“The best pizza and sandwich’s around delicious 😋 best customer service when you have an issue with door dash thank so much harry for lunch 🥰”

“Clean, bright , sunny shop. Polite , efficient staff.Wide variety of snacks (jerky to baklava)Small amount of odd stuff (tiny bottles of herbal tonic ).Standard cold beef, tuna, chicken turkey sandwiches with maybe a veggie option.No ham, but no halal or kosher marks”

“The place is medium sized but really cozy I love the plants and the matcha options are great my favorite is the rose matcha hot! Iced looses a bit of the rose flavor and the matcha feels high quality and just really well prepared. I tried the pastries and they are good wishes they had warmed it up in an oven it felt microwaved but they were still amazing.”

“This is a hidden gem!!!
What a service and a place, loved my steak n cheese, they had a variety of choices and great prices!
Would come again inshaAllah
Halal food by the way❤️”

“EDIT: Super excited for them to move across the courtyard to their larger space! Looking forward to the reopening.

My dog is named Matcha. I go nuts for the seasonal matcha drinks here.

Vibes are immaculate.

Enjoy your chill visit.”

“We were here on a cold night. It's a beautiful family run restaurant. We absolutely loved the atmosphere and food is delicious and most authentic in town. Their ingredients are FRESH and just in the right balance. We loved the hostess who is a very kind and humble person. She treats you like a family member and is so friendly and welcoming. This is our go to place for comfort and nourishing food ❤️🙏”

“Came here with my dad and brother, all three of us love the food we ordered and the staff are super friendly too. Definitely will visit again!”

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting”

“Best butterbeer latte in the world!”

“Best açaí bowl I’ve ever had ! I was craving one after a medical appointment in the area, found this cafe by chance- will definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.”

“The minute you walk in your senses come alive... your sight with just enough lighting, you can see it’s a charming place you can see the smiles on the patrons faces, you can hear the laughter among the co workers with customers and themselves..the smell of the food is exhilarating... the drinks are amazing, my overall experience, well let’s just say I cannot wait to go back with friends an experience it all over again..”

“12/6/25- DID TAKEOUT WITH STEAK SPECIAL WITH HOMEFRIES AND CORN BEEF HASH, NO EGGS OR TOAST… I ❤️ THE SIDES, BUT MY STEAK WAS OVERDONE… ATE IN THE RESTAURANT SAME DISH AND HAD NO COMPLAINTS THOUGH… HAD A SIDE OF CLAM CHOWDER, WON’T BE GETTING THAT AGAIN 😂… PRICES ARE GOOD, FILLING AMOUNT OF FOOD..

1/5/2026- I LOVE ❤️ THE STEAK…

Ordered 3 breakfast sandwiches with S&P and extra meat, contained two small sausage links sliced in half/ one egg/slice cheese… No extra meat and no S&P…

Edible, but not worth 20.00..”

“Great food and ambience, service was a little slow”

“The coffee is fresh, smooth, and strong! Kind encounter with cashier. Calm atmosphere. Amazing pistachio cake and I don't like pistachio at all. Very flavorful but lite, not drowned in sugar. Simply delightful. I will be back!”

“Great service and drinks and food are amazing lots of tvs for when games start back up”

“Edit: I went on a Saturday night, but there was apparently a festival going on that highly impacted my experience. Updated score for accuracy.

Beer was good. Staff was good. They say the close at 11. Last call is at 10. They kick you out at 1030.”

“Great bang for your buck sushi that tastes great. The 3 rolls deal with cash only is awesome. For this price, you really can’t beat it anywhere else. Highly recommended if you need a quick sushi fix that’s not grocery store sushi.”

“I got an ice pumpkin spiced latte which I thoroughly enjoyed and my wife loved her toasted everything bagel. Super chill vibes and I always love a coffee shop where you can watch them roast the beans. I definitely recommend checking this place out!”

“The food is super fresh! I had the “The dirty monkey” smoothie…..the same! Fresh and delicious. Definitely a must try!”

“Nice place, good food and good price but the wait staff should be more friendly.”

“5 star pizza I love the subs and the fingers”

“the food was delicious I had a large ham and cheese and my friend had a large meatball sub guys behind the two guys behind the counter were very friendly we had never been there before but we will be returning I rate it five star”

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.”

“High quality of food and service”

“Someone referred me to this restaurant and every time I’ve eaten here the food is delicious.Alfredo, the owner is extremely nice and hospitable They also have an amazing menu with some unusual recipes”

“I had such a lovely experience here. I had tiramisu with black raspberry Oreo ice cream and a matcha latte. Everything was amazing. The tiramisu was perfectly soft and creamy without being too heavy, and the ice cream had such a rich, unique flavor.
They even gave me a beautiful red carnation for Women’s Day, which made the whole experience feel extra special 🌺🌸 I’ll definitely be back!”

“Feels weird to give a Dunkin location a google review 😆 But, this one deserves it. They are open at 5am every day and are one of the ONLY DD locations ever that never messes up orders. It’s also surprisingly nice inside! I can personally say of hundreds of Dunkies this is the best location I’ve ever been to, and I’m grateful to have it close to home.”

“They don’t leave out THREE main ingredients like the Brookline location does. Can’t get money back because NO ONE answers the phone at ANY OF THESE LOCATIONS EVER!!!!!!!!!!”

“I ordered a large latte but only about like more than half of the cup was filled. It was kind of a bummer but the coffee was still nice and for a coffee place inside a grocery store it was good. I would still walk a little further to a real coffee shop next time but since it was snowing this did the trick.”

“We ordered delivery. Everything was so fresh and delicious! Especially loved the cucumber avocado sushi and the vegetable gyoza.”

“Food, drinks & vibes are always above & beyond! Had a newer bartender tonight Andy who was absolutely fantastic & of course Steven & Kara are always great. Definitely recommend!”

“Wok & talks food is so fresh and delicious! People there are nice and very helpful!”

“This is a good Starbucks. Nice staff here. It would be good if there was more sitting space in the upholstered chairs as there are in the corner. But they only have so much space.”

“If you’re seeking top-notch pizza with a personal touch, look no further than Pizza Etc. With the new owner at the helm, you’re guaranteed not only a delicious pizza but a warm welcome and dining experience you won’t soon forget.”

“We enjoyed the tea very much when we sampled it at today’s YMCA Oaktoberfest 5K. The kids loved the bubbles at the bottom. The kids like their promotional fans too.”

“Yamato is an all you can eat sushi restaurant located near the Boston College area, serving sushi as well as other Japanese dishes such as tonkatsu, ramen, and more.

The service is basically all handled by your own party, as they use tablets to order and send orders in, with the staff bringing it out when they're prepared.

The sushi is good for the price, and good to eat as much as you want. The rice to fish ratio is alright, it could be better but its all you can eat, so you get what you expect. It's overall a good price for what you get.”
