“Had a wonderful experience, Carmencita was very sweet and attentive, the food was delicious, definetly recommend the monstruoso and get a side of pineapple sauce with that. would definitely come again, especially when it’s one of the few places open late here in Boston!“

“You can't go wrong with this location. Absolute worst case scenario, you might have to wait a little while for a fresh batch of chicken (which could also be seen as a best case scenario, if you have time to spare). Staff is nice and works very hard, place is always busy but very clean.

“I recently visited a local hummus shop, and I have to say, their falafel is absolutely fantastic. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, each bite was full of flavor. The seasoning was spot-on, and paired with their fresh hummus, it was a match made in heaven. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re craving authentic and delicious falafel.“

“This was the BEST DISH my son and I had at the "3rd Annual New Bedford Food Truck and Craft Beer Festival" held on September 14, 2019. The flavors were amazing and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We look forward to seeing you at future events. 😊“

“Got the braised beef - might need to keep getting the braised beef forever. Wasn't busy when I picked up. They should be with how good the food is.

Edit: Large size proportions have changed to 70% rice. Dropped a star“

“Birdies Hot Chicken is a locally owned spot that has quietly built one of the stronger reputations for fried chicken in the Boston area, and the tenders are where that reputation is easiest to understand.

The chicken comes out juicy and well crusted, with a batter that stays crispy without being thick or greasy, and the seasoning underneath does more work than most hot chicken spots bother with. The heat is the headline but the flavor is what keeps you coming back, and the two are balanced well enough that even at higher spice levels the chicken still tastes like something rather than just burning.

The spice levels are worth taking seriously. The extra hot is genuinely challenging and rewarding in equal measure if you have the tolerance for it, but the mid-range levels give you enough of the flavor profile to understand what the kitchen is doing without requiring a recovery period afterward.

The seasoned fries are a natural companion and hold up well alongside the tenders, and the sliders are worth knowing about if you want to build out a larger order across a few different formats.

The restaurant is clean and comfortable with a good energy and staff that moves quickly without making the experience feel transactional. For halal hot chicken in downtown Boston that takes both the heat and the flavor seriously, Birdies is the spot to know about.“

“great service and quality of food. the salads mac and cheese,chicken and ice cream are delicious. manager Heather helped me buy a gift card in drive-thru. then when order was delayed she delivered our meal and complimentary ice creams! so wonderful and hospitable. we will be back soon!“

I can't express enough gratitude, Ralph, and I wholeheartedly recommend your legitimate and trustworthy services to others. Don't hesitate to add Ralph Carico to your trading network.“

“The non-Asian girl who helped me was so accommodating and efficient. Didn’t know what to expect from the food and tbf it was the most expensive poke bowl we’ve ever bought, but honestly by the end of the meal I wish I had left a bigger tip because it was totally worth it.“

“I'm giving this a 5 star review. Why you ask chick? Fil a has been my favorite since every year. I come so I had my best friend. She was amazed because hello, but I don't care why people are giving this a one star review because it just doesn't understand chick. Fil a has Chick-fil-A sauce. They also have Honey barbecue and Chicken Sandwich, but my favorite one is macaroni cheese. They're Mac and cheese is the bomb and their ice cream is amazing. Let's talk about their service. Their surface is less and less. It's getting worse because their surface have to do something because something is happening last year ago or let's say a month ago. I want you to check the way and there is less paper that was working. It's unlike teenagers, teenagers are supposed to be having jobs to support their money to go to college, right? But you know that there was no young teenagers, there were adults. So what happened don't know in that hour to 10 minutes to 20 minute hours to wait for a whole line to get my food, which they took forever, they even they took a book phone oh yes, the new update you wanna know you can do. Is do a phone? Yes, but you only have to pay online. You don't have to pay on the store. It's not DoorDash. It's something else, it's amazing, but it hacks your account and it goes Ding-Dong Wong because it doesn't hack you account because when you actually eat it, it just makes herself now I'm just giving the supply strawberry voo because I love it, thank you.“

“Good iced coffee 😝 and the people are very nice“

“You literally get a days worth of food for five dollars. it’s takeout only and I suggest you bring a bag. The food is a lot better than a lot of Chinese restaurants. Great service too. Closed on Sunday. Staff don’t speak English and are not very friendly. Just tell them what you want give them cash and leave.“

“I have been going here on occasion for years and realized I never left a review. Bread, pate, and everything is always fresh. The food and service quality have remained consistent over the year. Whenever I want banh mi and I am in the North Quincy / Wollaston area, this has always been my go to spot. It's also an easy, transit accessible spot, just a few minutes walk from North Quincy Red Line station and the nearby bus stop for the 210 Bus.“

“I support and have been to clover many times, especially in my neighborhood Kendall sq, now finally getting around to a review. This place is great for lunch and a quick dinner option. Can order ahead for pick up. On this visit, I ordered one of the newer items- Verde bowl with spicy tender pork. I've never had fake pork before and I quite I liked it. The bowl itself was obviously well thought out and balanced, very flavorful with a good mix of textures and crunch. I might hesitate to order again tho as it has fried plantains/tostones and fried jalapenos which I could get without, but then it seems to become an even smaller portion than it was. I does feels it a bit expensive for what it is, but most things in this area are. Moreover, they do care about their where they get their ingredients, so I don't mind paying for that. The sides are great including the hummus, fries soups, beverages etc. I've had several other sandwiches including the meatball sub and falafel. Overall my only issue is they use more oil in their items (eg fried falafel or oily meatballs) than my tummy is used to. Tasty though nonetheless, and would be fine for those with less sensitive stomachs. I will continue to support this trailblazing vegetarian/ vegan establishment who sources locally, and hope to see more thoughtful places like it in the immediate future. Kudos to the food lab !“

“This is really good place for dining in, hygiene is on top notch level as well as Sub is also tasty Nd delicious. I love the sub, this is only subway where I want to come most of my day and enjoy my meal. The people are also so nice and friendly. Worth it to come and visit here.“

“OGGI is not one thing. Looking like a pizzeria at first glance, it is! With large inexpensive slices. But check out the menu of creative burgers and my own fave, a caprese smoked salmon sandwich with pesto. The high-end comfort food cooked with love by Steve is perfectly complemented by wine, beer, and full-bar offerings. Free jazz Thursday evenings and low-cover gigs many nights make this not just another pizza joint but a full- service jazz bar. Best post-pandemic discovery in the Square.“

“Coming from Ireland we have little to no 'fast food' plant based options like this so I was excited to try! I got one of the regular burgers, the mac and cheese and the fries. The burger was excellent, I couldn't fault it. the Mac and Cheese was also very tasty. Not overly gone on the fries but still nice!“

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!“

“Loved the place and food. I got the chickpea platter on a Wednesday for lunch. Was very wholesome with a selection of 3 salads (coleslaw, cucumber-tomato and shredded carrots), chickpea curry, falafel with hummus, farrow and warm pita. Good portion size and great price. Very healthy choice and fresh.“

“I had ordered online from this location. It was my first time ordering from qdoba. I had mentioned online that it was my birthday and I asked them to fill it up if they could. My servers Yenny and Camila were so so nice, they gave me a huge serving and a post it wishing me a happy birthday! Made my day brighter! Thank you“

“Outstanding service! Fast delivery to table of excellent quality food. A little pricey but what airport restaurant isn’t pricey. Would recommend to anyone. 5+ stars!“

“Wonderful place to have dinner. With your friends.“

“The food was amazing. I like how the toppings come on the side so it don’t make the sandwich soggy. The Westfield Ma location is nice“

“Chipotle is good but QDOBA is definitely better. I visit this location almost every week and the staff are very friendly, keeps the place very clean and the food is fresh. 6 or so sauces are the best and gives various flavors and makes the food very delicious“

“Absolutely loved this place! The food is delicious, authentic, and full of Brazilian flavor. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were great. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming. It’s so nice to find a place in the U.S. that brings the real taste of Brazil. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great Brazilian food — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I recommend their Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant Grilled. Amazingly good.“

“It was very good. The service was great and quick.“

“We had an amazing experience at Chick-fil-A thanks to Nicole! She was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly from the moment we walked in. She went above and beyond to help my family and answer all our questions. She is an absolute asset to the team—five stars all the way!“

“Great burger! Friendly, attentive staff. Thank you for a great day out!“

“Great, Tasty, Fresh Food.“

“Love the food it so good !“

“Cold cuts are sliced fresh, our sub was delicious. All the staff was very helpful and friendly. The manager was awesome“

“Burgers are the best! Service is always friendly absolutely my favorite!!!!!“

“I had a great experience and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. The quality exceeded my expectations, and everything was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. What stood out most was how smooth and enjoyable the whole process felt—nothing seemed rushed or overlooked.
The staff/customer support was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond, which made a big difference. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into making sure customers are satisfied.
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something reliable and high-quality. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“Ordered their double turkey burger with lettuce instead of a bun and a garden salad. Ate the salad first and it was big, which was phenomenal. The turkey burger was juicy, the sauce was great and the lettuce wrap was green and not some iceberg junk. I would definitely order from there again. Oh, and the price was great too.“

“It has been a couple of years since I ordered the kids quesadilla meal. Things have changed. The quesadilla was soggy. Also, the quesadilla being packaged on top of the chips in one bowl was a poor presentation, and just a bad idea in general. I was disappointed.“

“I have no problem making the statement for all to read...This is the best pizza I ever had. I decided to get a steak sub today and it was the best sub I ever had. The people are friendly and professional. Seriously, I have had pizza everywhere and nothing comes close. I'm looking forward to trying everything.“

“An excellent experience! What stood out most to me was the service: the staff are incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful. They make all the difference and make the restaurant a very welcoming place. The food is excellent, too, which makes the experience even better“

“I’ve loved going to clover for a while and usually stick with the chickpea fritter, but I tried the zucchini sandwich this time and it was mind blowing! Love the seasonal focus and freshness here. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-04“

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing“

“Kind of a basic set up to eat in. Not much decor in this one compared to some of their other locations. The man behind the counter greeted me with a smile, I think I caught his name, Cordel! Welcoming me to Flavor BOOM! And it was flavorful! A new favorite place to stop at now.“

“If you're not doing the regional wine dinners here (wine is optional), you're missing out on some of the best quality food in the city at a great value. Incredible! And the team is as nice as can be. This is a great local business that I love to support.“

“Breakers is my preferred ice cream shop in Woburn even though I have another shop much closer. Ordering is efficient, orders are fulfilled accurately and quickly, and employees resolve any issues quickly and respectfully. Flavors are posted legibly and the variety of flavors is excellent. There is a parking lot, which is nice, and indoor seating and ordering which is helpful in the winter.“

“Was not busy. Food good, a fair price given the state of the economy these days. Counter folks friendly. Generally clean compared to many fast food establishments in the area. (Some maintenance needed in men's restroom, doorlock broken)

Parking: Parking is at an open air mall. One needs to be cautious with other drivers careening across the lot w/o regards to stop signs., using the lot as a shortcut to other neighboring areas & stores.“

“I never saw such a highly rated Popeyes so I decided to come here vs going to the Lynn location who always messes up. The rating they have is well deserved. Staff is very friendly and polite. He told me chicken was out but would be ready in 10 mins, he came exactly at 10 mins to bring my food to car. The chicken was so fresh, flaky and juicy. It wasn't over oily like some other Popeyes. Order was accurate and very satisfied that I came here. Well done to this location!“

“A small burger and hot dog spot with generous portions, combo options, and HAPPY HOUR SPECIALS!
It’s not a fancy or gourmet burger, but it’s exactly what you’d expect when you’re looking for an affordable burger combo as a college student. Simple, satisfying, and great value for the price!“
