Restaurants in Framingham

“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!!”

“Amazing food! Great atmosphere, very friendly staff. Highly recommend making a visit.”

“The food was outstanding ,passion fruit margarita was as good as the food we ordered. The inside was very cozy and clean, our waiter was very polite , quick to attend and very professional. Great place to enjoy with friends and family , definitely coming back soon!”

“We found Rasoi through Doordash and I am so so glad we did. The butter chicken was spicy and full of flavor. The Goan tofu curry was silky and we loved the garlic Naan and jeera rice. Best Indian food around hands down. can't wait to try all the dishes.”

“Amazing food and service .highly recommended must visit …everyone we ordered was delicious”

“Great Mexican food, awesome guacamole. Extremely fresh, non- greasy. Pricing reasonable. Lots to choose from, great to have a place like this around here.”

“Manolo was definitely one of the better Brazilian restaurants we have tried in the New England area! We are so happy that our friends brought us here to try, complete with an extensive menu and gorgeous ambience with plenty of space. The filet mignon bites combo served in Brazilian Creamy Cheese Sauce with yuca fries was extremely tender and flavorful and absolutely delicious. The caipirinhas drinks (we tried the strawberry, lime, and passion fruit flavors) were all made to perfection as well. We'll definitely be back!”

“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.”

“The owners are incredible, the atmosphere is amazing and the food is so good. The açaí is literally the best Ive ever had, and they had a zero sugar açai option that tastes the SAME as the regular and makes you feel less guilty for the toppings🙈 I wish I could give more than 5 stars honestly.”

“Fantastic food, a real deal margarita and even better service. Always leave happy, definitely our go to stop for mexican.”

“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.”

“Muy crujiente y delicioso”

“Tara was a great server, and the food was amazing (as always)! :)”

“The best pupusas in all of Framingham. 😋”

“Pizza is too salty. Most of the ingredients contain lots of sodium so try to cut down on the added salt”

“Always great food and service!”

“son muy ricos y bariado su menu , los recomiemdo atienden muy bien , los recomiendo”

“The food is generally fresh and nicely presented. Sushi and sashimi are highlights, with good-quality ingredients, while some hot dishes are more hit-or-miss in terms of flavor. Portions are reasonable, but a few menu items feel slightly overpriced for what is offered.”

“We had the tofu bimbimbap and the 10 piece Korean fried chicken. The chicken came out hot and steaming with the perfect amount of crispness. The bimbimbap had a ton of veggies -- the portion was very generous. The owner was quite nice; he gave us two large bubble teas for being his last customers of the day. Will definitely stop by again for the next Boston day trip we do.”

“just had one of the best dinners I have had in a long time..the server was (Evan) superb..the food (veal parm) was outstanding..the salad is always great..I really appreciate great Italian food and this was wonderful..”

“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👌”

“Love LOVE THE FOOD Service was amazing also ❣️⭐🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I would suggest it for anyone have a lot of good food to choose from ❣️”

“Wandered in one day because I was hungry - and keep coming back because they're amazing.
Everyone is always friendly and welcoming.
Food is great tasting and made perfectly with quality ingredients.. (I come all the way from Worcester for it and prefer it to those in my local.)
I've had their pizza, salad, terriyaki steak tips, and garlic chicken and broccoli alfredo. *chef's kiss*
Would - and do! - recommend it to everyone.”

“I was not impressed. Boneless spareribs were way too sticky and some were burnt. Like other restaurants now there prices have gone up a bit much. Also they are bit off Rte 9 and I think there are other places that are of better quality. I would only give this 3 stars.”

“Comida boa excelente atendimento. Muito obrigada pela sua atenção Tatiana. 👏👏👏👏”

“Star House has always been top notch for takeout Chinese. They do not do sit down service anymore but take out and delivery only. Food is very good, freshly prepared, and great value. I have been ordering there a few times a month for years and have tried many menu items and have always enjoyed my choices. Owner/staff are awesome.”

“The place is small so I recommend making a reservation in advance. The food was very good and the experience was a lot of fun. However, everything is a bit expensive and it adds up quick. Lots of fun for a special occasion but not for everyday lunch. When I needed assistance, the staff did not respond to the help button that we pressed and waited 15 minutes. Eventually we gave up and moved on. Overall very fun experience.”

“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!!”

“It's hard to find authentic spicy food in US and nawabi Hyderabad certainly delivers the flavors.
I love the south Indian cuisine and variety. This is my favorite Indian restaurant and I can't wait to revisit.”

“Amazing place. Churrasco Rodízio with Buffet very quality and cheap. I loved.”

“This is the best Dunkin donuts in Framingham/Natick area.”

“Quick service and good fries.”

“quick service, good food and sweet people. Inside looks nice and the bathroom was clean. Great job McDonalds! Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich meal and it was out in 2 minutes!”

“great menu selection and service! atmosphere is rather plain but it's clean and warm and bright so it's all good!”

“I went in for the first time today after looking for a good, healthy alternative to chain lunch spots like sweetgreen and cava. Mike was nice, helpful, and very knowledgeable. I ordered the creamsicle, which is vanilla protein and mango. The tea was Chai with clementine aloe. I asked Mike what flavor aloe would go well with chai (I first thought none of the flavors would pair well with chai) and he said he prefers clementine, or I could go with mango. He also said he likes the hot version over the iced, so I went with that, and was happy I went with Mike's suggestions. I felt full 3/4 of the way drinking my smoothie, so I know I will be full for a few hours. It is a good full feeling, not overly full or heavy. Also, the tea provided me with some much needed energy. Reasonable prices, especially when you compare to other lunch spots. I will definitely be going back to Heart City Health Cafe for sure! This is a great, healthy lunch option, so I am happy I came across it!”

“Food was delicious. First time I visited this place today.”

“excellent service from veronica food and poritons are good”

“Great hotdogs and great service. They care about the community as well.”

“The best ice cream and the nicest people”

“Good dinner live music we had fun.”

“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.”

“Fresh is the word!”

“I love place! Cantinho do Brasil aqui na América.”

“Steamy windows at our favorite Saxonville Cafe. The mocha lattes are our favorite - so rich and chocolatey. Great treat after a brisk walk at Cushing Park.”

“Cheese bread is fantastic. Great selection, something different every day. A lot of flans.. Love to have in the neighborhood”

“I visited here on February 5 and the two gentlemen taking care of me Allan and Alex were absolutely outstanding. Their level of hospitality, care, and cleanliness exuded throughout the entire interaction from the second I stepped in the door to the second I left. I visit a lot of Jersey Mike’s locations in my travels, and this one was by far hands-down the best customer service, the best value and the best tasting. These gentlemen deserve their flowers. Kudos”

“Yes they have burritos quesadillas tacos Pupusas it really good !!!”

“Hybrid service here. Place your order and prepay at the register, then they bring you your food to whichevertable you've chosen. I had a quality omelette that was gigantic and tasty. The home fries are decent, but taste like every other restaurant that gets them frozen from Sysco, though they were perfectly cooked, unlike some other places I've been. The food came out quickly and piping hot.”

“I have been all around the world and tried so many different cuisines but this restaurant is always on my mind no matter what corner of the earth i’m on!!! The BEST staff they’re so sweet and accommodating and always give 100/10 service. The food is phenomenal! I have been eating here basically since it opened and every single time it gets better and better! (Get an extra side of the verde salsa you won’t regret it). We have their food for family dinner so much because the portions are amazing and it easily feed 4-6 people! If you haven’t tried them yet you’re missing out. Best place ever!”

“I have celiac disease and they have many gluten-free options. They offer several gluten-free appetizers including dumplings. They also serve chicken, beef and seafood dinners and fried rice all gluten-free. They are very knowledgeable about allergies. Waitresses are very friendly. Great food and service.”

“I love EVERYTHING they make!! Great people!!”

“Very nice atmosphere, food was very fresh tasting, definitely would go back.”

“I had the best experience there this one lady asked us how everything was and she just took the time out of her day too just chat with my husband and I she truly made my day I never caught her name I hope She sees this through we were the couple from upstate ny”

“The pizza is amazing!! Besides that I took my 79 yr old father and you can stay and eat. It’s handicap accessible. Bubba’s pizza is out of this world and his staff is so friendly and courteous. I recommend this place to kids and adults of all ages!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Magnificent!!! Have been going to this place for years( even when they were in saxonville) the food is spectacular and the owners are friendly!”

“I love the pizza and the friendly staff. gracias por todo Anastasia! I have been a customer for 5 years and enjoyed every meal. thank you”

“muy rico todo la atención de los empleados muy buena”

“I love this place � everything is so delicious”

“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.”

“Best Restaurant in town 😋🍕”

“As far as traditional street foods go, this place has genuinely some of the best tacos I’ve had anywhere. Everything there is good but I’m addicted to their pastor tacos.(pork) You cannot find a better priced place that serves this kind of food that is as good as Rincon. Get the horchata too! It’s a small place so make sure you get there quick, also you might have some language barriers as there isn’t a whole lot of multi language speakers.”

“Eu amo os salgadinhos da Mini Bites! I’m coxinha’s lover!!!!”

“Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. Fast service, good food and nice area”

“all time favorite.... Black Forest...Ang sarap...thanks yumyumtea 🥤🥤🥤”

“Did you see all of those effusive reviews saying that this is the best pho in the area? NO LIE. It 100% is!
The restaurant is super clean and everyone working there is super nice and friendly. I'm definitely going to return the next time I'm in town.”

“there fantastic and a favorite place 😀”

“Got too love 4 sports pub aka Mugs aka the door”

“Best pizza in the state. Crust sauce and cheese are all top notch. Wing are very good. We usually order for pick up and the order is always on time and hot. Love that they take just cash too.”

“Opens at 10pm and I was hungry and food was amazingly delicious
I ordered hot and sour soup, shrimp fried rice, beef and broccoli.
I would say these foods were way over than the existing expectation.
I would visit to order different food next time. Highly recommend.”

“What a cute little place! The food was absolutely delicious, every dish was full of flavor. The red curry is to die for! The service was excellent, and the server spoke very politely and was friendly, which made the experience truly enjoyable. One of the rear good Thai places you will find in Framingham Natick area. Fantastic ambience. Loved it!”

“This place is a tiny little local restaurant with maybe 4 tables, and most of their business is take-out, but we had a great time. We went on a Saturday, so the special we had was roasted chicken with very crispy skin, with sides of rice, beans, cassava flour, greens, and fried banana (it was actual sweet banana, not plantain). We also had a beef pastel. So so so delicious! I'm going to be thinking about that chicken for weeks. Very nice people at the counter, and we navigated pretty well even with us not speaking much Portuguese and them not speaking a ton of English. Will go back here for sure!”

“I have been a customer of Red Barn for over 25 years it is not only close to my home it is my "go to" spot for my morning Latte or my afternoon Ice Coffee. The Pastry case is always filled with yummy fresh goodies and i am always greeted with a smile...4 Stars\n”

“A big breakfast to start your day with localized restaurant”

“It's basically a Brazilian food restaurant and the food are frash and taste really good and the place is simple but quite a good atmosphere! I love this place for coffee, lunch, snack and dinner! Americans are often seeing in this place. Worth a try!”

“I haven't been to the actual restaurant in a few years but always loved the food. Stopped at the food truck as a recommendation from a friend, and I was not disappointed by any means. Had the short rib sandwich, and it was large in portion size, cooked perfectly, and tasted delicious.”

“This Dunkin never misses! The staff is friendly and the food and drinks always come out perfect and fast! ☕️ it’s inside Framingham state university McCarthy Center and it’s perfect for commuters and students.”

“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!”

“Very friendly. Great quality. Will be back soon”

“Sat at bar. Food is very good. Sam Adams and fish, yum. Crowded and noise level can be high in bar area but chairs super comfy. Traffic in this area is crazy avoid 5 pm on weekdays.”

“It was me and my partners first time dining here. It was a holiday so even with a reservation there was a good 15-25min wait. Very reasonable being it was Valentines Day. Server was really nice, energetic and understanding. Food was amazing ordered about 2 entrees appetizer and dessert for a great price . Our server didn't rush at all and gave us to go boxes because we ate prior so we took a lot home . She asked us if everything was alright because we barely touched it but we took everything home and enjoyed the night out as a vibe . 10/10”

“excellent service from veronica food and poritons are good”

“Amazing food! Great atmosphere, very friendly staff. Highly recommend making a visit.”

“Just had a wonderful date at Olive Garden, and you know who made it wonderful? Our server, ANDREW!!!! Andrew had the best energy and we shared so many laughs. We made so many great memories at this Olive Garden location all thanks to Andrew. We love him so much, and he is very dear to us. He will always be in our hearts.
With love,
Gavin and Jaslyne ♥️”

“Muy crujiente y delicioso”

“quick service, good food and sweet people. Inside looks nice and the bathroom was clean. Great job McDonalds! Ordered a spicy chicken sandwich meal and it was out in 2 minutes!”

“I had the best experience there this one lady asked us how everything was and she just took the time out of her day too just chat with my husband and I she truly made my day I never caught her name I hope She sees this through we were the couple from upstate ny”

“I came in on a busy day but the bartender Britney was absolutely amazing, very attentive and made great suggestions. Will definitely be back for the service and more food.”

“Great Mexican food, awesome guacamole. Extremely fresh, non- greasy. Pricing reasonable. Lots to choose from, great to have a place like this around here.”

“Overall, this Chipotle is great. The staff works hard, the food’s consistent, and they rarely ever get an order wrong.

My only gripe is how they handle online pickup orders. Instead of putting them on the pickup shelf like the app says, they keep them behind the counter. So you have to go to the side window and ask, and sometimes it takes a few minutes before anyone notices you’re there. I’ve had to wait around five minutes a few times just to get someone’s attention.

Other than that, it’s a solid, well-run location that clearly has a good team.”

“Great place to eat, even when you go with your ex-wife because one of your kids suffers from anxiety and can't handle Mom alone. The waitress and management made it fun, easy and the food was good!”

“Magnificent!!! Have been going to this place for years( even when they were in saxonville) the food is spectacular and the owners are friendly!”

“Love this place. I needed a sushi restaurant once I moved to Framingham and this spot is the best. Great drinks and food”

“I love place! Cantinho do Brasil aqui na América.”

“Our Girl Scout troop met at the Framingham location for ice cream and a Valentine’s Day card swap. The staff was friendly and accommodating to our large, high-energy group. They had excellent food allergy protocols. Great ice cream and reasonable prices.”

“I really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be coming back!

The restaurant has a nice ambiance, perfect for a date or a group. It wasn’t busy when we visited, and the food came out fast, hot, and fresh.

What we tried:
- Akra (fried taro fritters): Crispy outside, chewy inside. Loved the Pikliz cabbage, but a dipping sauce would have been a nice touch. Ended up eating with ketchup.
- Poulette en Sauce (chicken stew): Flavorful, and the bean rice was excellent.
- Tassot Cabrit (fried goat): Pricey but amazing! Lots of meat and very few bones which is uncommon for goat dishes. I also upgraded to the black rice and it is unlike any rice I’ve tried before. It does cost extra but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A few things to note and improvements for the restaurant:
- Portions are generous and food is delicious, but prices are on the higher side, so it will be more of an occasional treat for me.
- Black rice upgrade was an extra $2.08 (wish that had been mentioned).
- A 10% gratuity was added without any mention of it even though we were a party of two.

Overall, great food and experience with a few transparency improvements needed.”

“Ikigai Matcha didn’t just serve me a drink… it served me purpose. I walked in tired and left questioning all my life choices that didn’t involve ceremonial grade matcha.

Came for caffeine.
Left with inner peace.
10/10 would spiritually ascend again.”

“Ordered online for curbside pick up. But no one came out after 10mins of waiting in the car. So we had to go in to grab our food. Prolly cause they were so busy that afternoon. When we got to the car, we were missing a drink, had to go back in the second time. Food was tasty though. Toddler approved.”

“Friendly, professional, and clean. Staff was very cleanly also when it comes to wearing gloves and maintaining a clean work station. Big portions and I will definitely be visiting again!”

“Natick peoeple swear this is supposed to be some high-end experience. Food was good obviously if you come towards the end the meat is dry but overall not bad. Work on keeping certain items fresh and staff looks a bit overworked but I would come again no problem”
