“Absolutely outstanding restaurant !! Top notch food. I mean a 10 out of a 10 👍 The hostess was very welcoming and the waiter was phenomenal. The host ran after me when I forgot the left over cannoli. I won’t even talk about the cannoli you can see for yourself.”

“Scott gave us fantastic service! He appeared to be the only server this afternoon but you would never know it—he was so quick and attentive. He put us at a quiet table as requested, then got our order right in, refills on drinks, rolls, and then automatically got us a second pizza to take home as he said the first one didn’t come out the way he wanted it to.. we were so lucky to have him today—thank you Scott for giving us such a wonderful dining experience!!”
“Summary: get the corned beef hash. If you didn’t get the corned beef hash, you did it wrong. Order again. It’s the only photo I’m attaching to this review, because you need to focus like a freaking laser. Don’t be distracted until you have ordered something containing this hash. My fave breakfast joint is on Vancouver island in Canada. My second favorite to this point was in Tucson. I have had a lot of breakfasts. I have had a lot of corned beef. If you aren’t ordering the corned beef here, you will be judged. It’s why people don’t consider going vegetarian. When you pass away, whether or not you had this corned beef will be factored in to how your life is measured. Get the hash.”

“Stumbled into this restaurant today by accident, and left wondering how soon I could get back there. Absolutely the best-tasting food I have ordered in most of New England. The servings are generous, the menu extensive, the ingredients fresh and perfectly seasoned. One of our group is a picky eater and she couldn’t get enough of her veggie burrito. My grilled eggplant sandwich was to die for, and another at our table ordered the portobello sandwich, which she declared superb. The owner/host and a new employee could not have been more accommodating. This is a very clean, unassuming place, a real gem. Coming down from Vermont - the land of vegetarians - I went back wishing we had this great place where I live.”
“Westbound, hungry, and driving through an unusually slow traffic, it was only a matter of time before my itching fingers and fiendishly famished stomach determined the next course of action. Swerved off the next exit, pulled up a list of nearby restaurants, rerouted, and floored it. Fudge it. Hungry. Don’t care. Hungry. Just drive like another M@$$hole and get this nonsense over with.
U Dumpling House had immediately caught my attention. I couldn’t recall where I had read about it but it was positive. Now that it’s just a few minutes away from where I was, why the heck not? Dimsum and soup dumplings? Can’t go wrong right? Then again, I don’t ever remember anyone this hungry complain about anything in the moment until *way* after the meal…
So I rapidly ordered away like it was my last meal before I met my maker. Stuck to the usual choices to see their take on classic dim sum dishes. Best part? Food didn’t take long at all to trickle in straight from the kitchen (no dim sum cart here, as expected).
While the preparation was slightly different from what I’ve been accustomed to for the last few decades, I found their style both pleasant and tasty. At least, most of it was…and I would have given them 5 stars easily if it wasn’t for a few missteps that I can’t let slide.
Dry Sautéed String Beans. As good as your version is…the word “dry” means a particular technique that does not involve blanching the beans. I expected something but received something else. That one step has a different texture and matters to those who know this dish well. Moreover, I expected the soup dumplings, which you are famous for, to stand out. I can’t say it did and that’s me being nice.
Anyways, I definitely recommend anyone in the immediate area craving Chinese food or dim sum to at least try them out once. You may end up being one of those several regulars there that day that obviously frequent this place.”
“My fiancee got the pork katsu rice bowl and it was the most tender and flavorful she's ever had outside of Japan. I got the sushi for 2 and the quality of the fish matched the presentation! Some of the best tuna and salmon I've ever had!
Wheelchair accessibility: Easy walk up and plenty of parking”
“Excellent clam chowder!
We also ordered the chicken and bacon rigatoni, the wings and a burger with Cajun fries. Everything was excellent. Burger made to order. Pasta perfectly cooked and everything was very well seasoned. Portions were amazing. We forgot to take pictures because we were really hungry.”

“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👌”
“Exceeded our expectations! We had the cheesy breadsticks and mushroom vegetarian pizza. We didnot expect the quantity of breadsticks to be as large as a pizza! It was delicious and hot and the cheese was delicious! The pizza was delicious, crust was super soft and the cheese was creamy and tasty. It was oozing and the mushrooms were well cooked. Only thing we didn’t enjoy was the tomatoes on the pizza(were too big) but other than that the pizza itself was delicious and we would love to go back again and again just to have it! There’s customization options so you can also tailor as per your needs. There’s enough seating room and it’s not too loud. Overall a comfortable atmosphere”
“This place is by far the best I've had in the area. Not only is the food delectable but they also have Exquisite combination options not a lot of Chinese restaurants offer a mixture of delicious foods in one combo platter this is definitely my goal to when Framingham and the surrounded counties”
“Kens steak house is a metro west gem! The reasonably priced meals, quality of the food, and very friendly wait staff. This is my wife and my “go to” restaurant when we want a great meal at a reasonable price, When you waking into Kens it feel “comfortable” like it’s your own home . The wait staff are so friendly and patient. They never rush you and are very knowledgeable about the menu. The steaks are the specialty of the house. Each time we’ve had steak it was cooked yo perfection! The drink prices are reasonable and the desserts taste home made! Great place and I hope they are around for many more years!!”
“My wife and I have been to multiple Olive Gardens over the years. But our experience today at the Framingham, MA restaurant was by far the best. It started at the entrance with Joseph greeting us with such friendliness and sincerity. Then it continued with Sylvia our waitress. She also was friendly and sincere, along with attentive. Joseph and Sylvia set the tone for a wonderful dining experience. I hope the general manager reads this review and relays it to Joseph and Sylvia. The food was delicious as always. The vanilla ice coffee was incredible.”
“Very nice atmosphere, food was very fresh tasting, definitely would go back.”

“My husband and I love Heart City Health Cafe! We discovered them this past spring and ever since have been taking weekly (sometimes 3x a week!) trips here because we love the shakes, teas, and service so much! It’s a family-friendly atmosphere with an extensive menu. Anyone can find something they like — and good luck choosing because with new flavors added each season, there is always more to try! Our favorites are: fruity pebbles, Elvis, Chocolate Chip Banana Bread, Toffee Praline. Highly recommend. We are customers for life!”
“Fourth visit and still the best diner I've ever been too. Classic old diner atmosphere, great price, and still only a five-minute wait for food. My only complaint is that Lloyd's gives too much food. After the meal I'm done for the day. Today three of us had to get the $13 special because it was such a great deal (3 large eggs, 5 pieces thick bacon, 3 huge sausage links, mountain of hash browns, choice of toast or English muffin). We took at least a pound or more of food home.”
“Food was decent tasting and made to order. Portions were good and prices reasonable. Service was quick and friendly (mind you it was breakfast time and I was the only one in the restaurant but bonus points because I read somewhere that they served chilaquiles and even though I didn't see it on the menu they made it for me). I wouldn't really call it a dining-out type of venue (it's very tiny). I'll definitely give it another try and get something different from the menu.”

“Food was cooked perfectlyThe service person spoke English well which is big plus if you do not speak Portuguese... Music was super nice, however some English songs would have make it ”
“Absolutely fabulous meal. Meat was prepared perfectly and the service awesome. I like what they did with old train station. We will go back soon. Highly recommend you try it.”
“During our recent stay at Fairfield in Framingham, we dined at their in-house restaurant. We were instantly welcomed by Katie, the hostess, so we opted to sit at the bar. She was quick to deliver finely prepared drinks as we browsed the menu. There were several options that kept us undecided but we both agreed on the ribeye steak dinner and were beyond pleased with the quality and flavor of the meal. Katie kept us entertained with quick witted chat and top notch service for us and the (by-now) full bar. Truly needed after a long day of travel!”

“The menu is very authentic with fresh ingredients, excellent service, and reasonable prices. I stayed to eat where there's about three tables for patrons. It's a small restaurant where many do take out. The non alcohol Pina Colada was one of the very best i ever had! Good parking located in back of the restaurant. The Saxonville Village with in Framingham is a quaint place. The service in front and in the kitchen are hard at work, worth the stop!”

“It's made to feed students on meal plan so you're gonna get what you're expecting knowing that. Also some people don't like the taste of Sodexo food. I used to one of them, but this dining hall does it better, not restaurant meal but good enough.”
“you took all the Italian food that made you what you were, a great Italian restaurant. Now you are just another mediocre restaurant with hummus and meh food and $$$$$ Bad choice. Where is the gnocchi??? and everyone has veal and chicken parmesan... not impressed”

“Came here on a rainy Saturday afternoon, the parking lot was busy, but we found parking upon arrival and were seated when we came in.
The interior is very clean, well lit, and was bustling with an excited crowd of customers - the best sign for any restaurant.
A server brought water while we looked over the menu. I ordered panko battered shrimp, chicken rice dish, and my wife got brisket Pho. We also ordered a limeade and vietnamese coffee.
The coffee was phenomenal, it's my go-to drink when get Vietnamese and this did not disappoint. A rich bold coffee cut with sweet cream; it tasted like coffee ice cream.
Our server brought a dish of very fresh bean sprouts, basil, and other toppings for the pho. I was shocked at how green, fresh, and clean everything was - no wilted greens, no slimy bean sprouts. Everything was FRESH and crunchy.
The appetizer came a few minutes later, hot and crunchy. The sweet chili sauce was perfect.
Our entrees were hot, delicious and well portioned. They use chicken thighs which have so much more flavor, and were juicy and flavorful. The sunny side egg looked like a video game egg- perfectly round and shiny yolk.
My wife enjoyed her Pho, it had plenty of thin cuts of tender beef, just enough bone/fat to be flavorful. The cuts of beef weren't fatty.
10/10 will come here again.”
“Great subs and pizza. Their special subs are always creative and delicious! I don't understand the attitude comments. I've been eating here for years and have never had that experience. There are times when they are busy and focused and seem quite serious. Focused is different than rude.”
“Amazing place. Churrasco Rodízio with Buffet very quality and cheap. I loved.”
“The service and cleanliness is much better at the Framingham location compared to the Watertown location. The staff here is very kind and friendly. I saw someone eating alone, reading a book and a worker came up just to give them a free bookmark. Meanwhile the Watertown location tried to avoid giving me the promotional shirt.”
“Love this place. I needed a sushi restaurant once I moved to Framingham and this spot is the best. Great drinks and food”

“Can’t get enough of this place. Not only the variety of yummy bagels. The ice coffee is great when served with frozen ice coffee cubes. Doesn’t dilute your morning coffee. If you’re not a bagel person you must try their gigantic muffins. I jut live live live the blueberry!”

“The meal deal with the piezooki was good. I had the chicken Parm with spaghetti. Even though the chicken was nice and warm the spaghetti lacked flavor. But don't get me wrong I loved the chicken Parm. I loved the strawberry shortcake piezooki that came highly recommended by our server Cole. And he didn't stear us wrong it's now my favorite. Cole our waiter was warm and friendly and even though the restaurant was very busy he always took the time to stop at our table to see how we were doing.
I would go there again. Very clean ample parking and convenient location to get to”

“Food was excellent! I ordered the chorizo enchiladas and absolutely loved them. I also got to try the steak fajitas, which were fantastic—everyone in our group who ordered fajitas really enjoyed them too. The kids had chicken strips and fries, and they were happy with their meals. The Fresca Margaritas were delicious and refreshing!
We were celebrating a birthday, and our waitress went above and beyond—she surprised us with churros and a birthday candle. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and sweet, even though it looked like she was the only server at the time and also helping out at the bar. Despite that, she gave us great service.
We also loved the decoration, ambiance, and the music playing—it all added to the great vibe of the place. Would definitely come back!”

“Im don't go to chipotle very often but the staff here is very nice and I really like the food. Whoever was making my order was doing tricks with the food like a hibachi place and don't know why but HE MADE MY DAY!!! It was so fun and the other people in line and I were like "woahh did you see that!!!" I RECOMMEND THIS CHIPOTLE!!!”

“i moved here from los angeles where we are spoiled with not just chicken, but food options in general. only ever had cane's twice in my 30 years of life. once out of curiosity and the second in hope of redemption.
so, with the the limited options in this city, i decided to give cane's another shot now that this one is open. ordered online and my pick up order was ready in literally 3 mins. parking lot situation seems a mess right now, but there were plenty of spots available. was greeted at the door by a very friendly employee who handed me my order. everything was piping hot. chicken was juicy and crispy, fries were hot, the toast was toasting. unfortunately, my issue with cane's remains. their chicken tenders are so mid. bland and flavorless. i hate sauces, so the one thing that probably makes their chicken worth it didn't work here.
i gave 4 stars because it's new and the employee i interacted with was very friendly. do yourself a favor and go to dave's next door instead.”
