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!!”

“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!”

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

“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.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Muy crujiente y delicioso”

“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.”

“We had the absolute best experience at Boteco do Manolo. The food was simply amazing, large portion sizes and wonderful service. Highly recommended”

“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”

“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.”

“Always great food and service!”

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

“I love it here! My husband and I come here regularly for lunch and sometimes for dinner too when we have friend sir family visiting. The sushi is always fresh and well prepared and I also really like their Curry Pork Katsu Box.”

“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👌”

“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..”

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

“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. 👏👏👏👏”

“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”

“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!!”

“I’ve been living in Framingham for three years and yesterday I was hungry for Chinese food. Haven’t found any that I really really like in the area so I googled. I found this Restaurant called Star on Waverly Street.
I did not get a very big order, but I truly enjoyed all of it. The beef with scallions reminded me of my childhood and going to South Pacific in Newton.
All of the appetizers were good. I’m looking forward to going back and trying many of your dishes.”

“Absolutely love their Paneer Tikka Biryani! Food can be on the spicer side but you can ask for milder version. Their weekend specials are refreshing and adds something new to their menu.”

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

“Our waiter greeted us promptly and gave us great service. Make sure you try Legal's New England clam chowder. The chowder was delicious and had plenty of clams. I think it's one of the best clam chowders in the area. My husband and I both had the hot buttered lobster roll which was very good with a generous portion of lobster meat. The sides can be substituted. The szechuan green beans were very good and not spicy at all. Sweet potatoes with pecans were also very good. As a somewhat regular dinner, Legal's Reward program and the great food keeps us returning. We earned a free cup of clam chowder for our purchase to use on our next visit.”

“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!”

“Good dinner live music we had fun.”

“I happened to be in this part of Framingham and was looking for something quick and healthy for lunch. I wasn't sure a protein shake and a tea would fill me up, but I was mistaken. I wasn't hungry after. The shake was delicious, and the tea boosted my energy without the negative feeling of a caffeine/sugar buzz that energy sodas give you. Also, the owner, Mike, is very knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. I've been back twice since discovering it. I can't wait to try more flavors.”

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

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

“excellent service from veronica food and poritons are good”

“Fresh is the word!”

“The best ice cream and the nicest people”

“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.”

“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.”

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

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

“This place does an awesome job when it comes to delivery. I have ordered from here a dozen times and the food is on point and everyone that works there does a great job. Keep up the great work just remember to send all my items though since there have been mistakes once the order is pulled everything should be pulled that on the receipt for delivery so it ready to go thank you!!”

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

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

“this is definitely a must visit!
the food was delicious, the place is so clean and cozy. Esthela was such a sweetheart when she took care of us.
If you’re in Framingham go by for some of the best coffee in town.”

“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 was looking for a new place with gluten free food after our usual place changed hands and went down in quality. We drove here all the way from Roslindale to order takeout because I wanted to be sure they understood how important it was to us . My daughter has Celiac and it was her birthday and she wanted Chinese.The owner took our order and we had a great conversation about the menu and her plans to add more gluten free items as they continually test them. The gluten free dumplings are OUTSTANDING!! We wished we ordered more ! My daughter had Crab Rangoon for the first time in her life. Her college friends were obsessed with them and she could never join in so she really enjoyed them! They were delicious! Nobody does chicken wings because they require a dedicated fryer . This place has them . I think they could be better . They have a coating on them that we didn't love . They aren't like typical wings but they were ok. We also got a noodle dish that was good . We didn't get rice but definitely would next time after talking to tho owner about the rice . She really has a passion for the food she is serving.I would definitely go back to eat in. The staff was pleasant and the restaurant is really pretty and relaxing. My daughter with celiac who doesn't typically like eating in said she would feel comfortable going back to eat in ... 10/10”

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

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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”

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

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

“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.”

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

“I love this place � everything is so delicious”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“Best Restaurant in town 😋🍕”

“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”

“Just passing through and was very lucky to find this Gem!! The Pizza was absolutely delicious!! Friendly staff and atmosphere!! It’s a must try if you’re in the area or just passing through!! Definitely would stop here again in the future!!”

“Tried the biryani and grilled chicken both were absolutely amazing. The grilled chicken was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Definitely one of the best meals I’ve had in a while.”

“En Boston massachuset”

“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”

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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”

“Food was excellent. Service was a little slow with one waitress seemingly handling the restaurant. It was a slow night. But, all in all, it was very good. Try the mixed grill. 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.”

“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!”

“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.

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

“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.”

“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.”

“Employees are most times welcoming, aleays with good customer service.I am a customer here but also a dasher and Is aleays busy and extremely busy on weekends but they are most times pretty fast and acurate with orders.The only couple times I have had an issue manager Chris had run that extra mile to fix it.Also Ash, Gaby and another skinny manager not sure if his name Is Mikey had been Nice.”

“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”
