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!!”

“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.”

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

“Very clean and welcoming environment. Food was amazing very delicious. The staff was respectful and very helpful as well I live a bit far but definitely worth the drive! Will be back soon”

“Muy crujiente y delicioso”

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

“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.”

“Great spot for quick, good meal!!”

“The best pupusas in all of Framingham. 😋”

“Always great food and service!”

“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👌”

“My husband and I LOVEEEEE Aoi! We love the owner and the staff. They own yum yum bubble tea along with U dumpling

They care a lot about their businesses, and their customers. The quality of the fish is so good!! Everything is fresh”

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

“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..”

“This place is great! The service was amazing, especially from the gentleman that served me yesterday. He was very friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to ensure I enjoyed everything. The food was delicious and the patio is a great space. For a good drink, I recommend their Mai Tai! I would definitely go back.”

“Staff is friendly, the hams and turkey are delicious. Look forward to their specials every week.”

“I’ve been coming to University Pizza since 2013, back when I worked nearby and would eat here almost every day under the previous owners. Even after the ownership change, I still keep coming back because the food has remained consistently great.

Their Buffalo Chicken Calzone is my absolute favorite—the grilled chicken makes it stand out from anywhere else I’ve tried. The Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is hands down one of the best pasta dishes around, and I also highly recommend the chicken wings and the grilled chicken sub loaded with fresh veggies.

It’s rare to find a place that maintains the same quality and flavor for so many years. University Pizza has definitely earned my loyalty!”

“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. 👏👏👏👏”

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

“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.”

“Kura is great for a quick trip to sushi town. Very kid friendly, we often eat there when we want to eat a lot and very fast. The service is great, although more parts are robotic or animated. Food is great, but don't forget to order the hand rolls that are only available for direct order on the tablet! Same for the ramen and udon soup options.

Portions are pretty good for the price.
The tempura is great.

At one point we were going 3 times a week.”

“The Hyderabad house is our go-to restaurant for top quality and tasty indian food, especially south indian or Hyderabad based food. The Chicken Biryani is always excellent and the breakfast items were also very good. In our recent visit, we tried the weekend specials like Kerala Chicken Pakoda, Nalli Ghost Biryani, and Paya with Parotta, which are awesome! The chicken is fresh in the pakoda, and the goat is very flavorful in both the dishes. We had to order extra parotta since the paya is very good. Overall, it will always be our first priority for the food they provide and the atmosphere is good.”

“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!!”

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

“Foi tudo muito bom. Não tenho critica nenhuma , moro aqui ao lado e iremos mais vezes.”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

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

“RUN RUN RUN to this magnificent little joint and order the chips and salsa- best salsa you'll have in Boston- and then order the tacos Al pastor. And THEN order some more.
I lived in LA for 23 years and I almost obsessively ate tacos Al pastor almost every single week. I can say without question that this is the very best Al pastor I have EVER HAD, and the salsa is right up there.
Friendly , family run. Adorably cozy inside, small about 5-6 tables.
This is going to be on weekly rotation.
Two MAJOR thumbs up me encanta”

“Incredible, celiac safe Chinese food! Staff is knowledgeable on cross contamination and very accommodating. The food is delicious! A must try in the area, and definitely worth a drive if you’re farther away!”

“Yesterday we took our grandson to Chick-fil-A for lunch on his birthday. He enjoyed his food, eating his chicken nuggets, waffle fries, and fruit cup with his milk. While playing in the playroom, we noticed activity in the dining area and found out that today was decorate your own cookie day. We decided to stay for that while they were setting up we got a couple of ice creams to pass the time. We were encouraged by several associates to go up and get a cookie and decorate it. We took our cookies and our frosting and Sprinkles back to our table to work on them. My wife mentioned in passing to one of the associates that today was his birthday. With our cookies nearly complete, several associates showed up with a birthday cake with a candle lit and lead the restaurant singing, happy birthday. The bag of gifts that came with the cake were a big hit. But the bigger hit was the courtesy and attentiveness of the associates at Chick-fil-A. Thank you for making Ryder ‘s birthday a special one.”

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

“Love this place! Delicious food, friendly and good service, and such a cozy and calm atmosphere. I love going here for a smoothie after a beach day at Waushakum!”

“I love this place � everything is so delicious”

“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!”

“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!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

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

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

“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.”

“Melhor local brasileiro para curtir com a familia um bom almoco, jantar com a familia, um otimo ambiente para baladas e claro, um bar super cheio de atracoes para curtir com os amigos. Sao 3 ambientes de pura diversao... atendidmento otimo e sem contar a simpatia dos donos. #partiu135 😎”

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

“Food is good with caveats. Bun Bo hue had good flavors. The beef pho was a little too sweet but good meats. The spring rolls were just ok and their smoothie drinks were great. Especially for the price vs most other places. Overall, good place to go for pho around here.”

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

“We ordered the grilled chicken caesar salad and turkey sub with LTO & mayo. It was a simple order, but the ingredients were fresh and delicious! I thought the caesar dressing was really good and the chicken tasted great. I recommend, just make sure to bring cash when you go because that’s all they take.”

“Delicious! What a delightful meal made better by a lovely chat with the women preparing and serving the food, one of their daughters, and fellow customers. It was like visiting the home of some new family friends.”

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

“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”

“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.”

“They try really hard to make sure you are happy with your order. The coffee has that refined, pleasant, Colombian character to it. It is always well roasted and ground, I have never had an “off” cup here. The little treats they sell are delectable.”

“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!”

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

“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!”

“Super good! One of the best dunkin's I've been in. The $6 meal deal hits! Fast and efficient too. Bacon is super crispy! Dunkin, if you're reading this, keep the the $6 meal deal permanent!”

“I’m a d2d guy- I try a lot of places, I asked a guy what the best thing here was- It was amazing-so good that I asked him what the second best thing was-chicken parm- amazing- while I was getting my chicken parm to go he gave me some free buffalo sauce and chicken- It was holly- if you want local gems, this is one.🤌”

“Love the food but they never want to turn on the heat we took our mother to celebrate her 85th birthday but she was cold and had to drink 2 cups of coffee to warm up she asked if they can turn the heat on but to no avail.

Parking: You can park across the street in a pay parking lot but not easy to cross the street and behind the building there’s some parking in a dirt parking lot”

“ordered a big breakfast you screwed up only got hash brown coke do a better job”

“This is our favorite place in the neighborhood for oysters! My husband and I love coming here, and we always sit at the bar because the bartenders are the best. They’re friendly, attentive, and make every visit fun and welcoming.

I always order a Lemon Drop Martini, my husband enjoys an Old Fashioned, and the oysters are always incredibly fresh. We’ve tried many different dishes over the years and everything has been consistently delicious.

This place has become one of our favorite date-night spots. Great food, amazing drinks, outstanding bartenders and welcoming atmosphere: you really can’t ask for more. We highly recommend it 😍”

“My first time at the restaurant and I loved everything in general, the bartender's service and the general manager He talked to us and was super friendly and attentive, I would definitely come back and recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances

You know what you get when you get the Olive Garden reasonably priced it is what it is. But I go there every so often the salad is first class and the endless bowl of soap for $9.99How can you beat it?”

“Best IHop omelet ever, with feta and tomatoes, ordered off the new menu, with a side of really fresh fruit. We mostly went there because it was open at the time and we were long past breakfast hours elsewhere AND were very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the meal and the competence and quality of the service.”

“Excellent fritay! Portions are healthy size—you will not leave unsatisfied. Highly recommend: Red snapper, pikkiz, marinade (fried dumplings), fresh limeade, griot koden (turkey), and fried chicken. Nice setting with good music playing in the background.”

“One of the best Korean restaurants from Boston has moved to Framingham! They serve traditional food like bibimbap (mixed fried rice with egg on top), Korean double fried chicken, or even fusion dishes like kimchi quesadilla. The owner is a wonderful lady and she makes her own kimchi!”

“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.”

Very excited to see what comes next. We each had two pints, I had the Czech black lager and my husband had the IPA and the West Coast Pale Ale. All delicious! Mike also gave us samples of some of their other tap offerings which I liked (saki & yuzu, and hard tea). We will definitely be back!”

“I had an excellent experience at this restaurant! The atmosphere was very authentically Middle Eastern including the smell of the truly authentic Middle Eastern spices. Every dish was absolutely delicious, and the staff were so nice!! I’ll definitely be back here soon!”

“Greek Yogurt is the absolute best! Fresh and rich in taste! Portion sizes could be a little bit more generous. 🥲 Highly recommend though.”

“Unique Brazilian Burger place burgers are big portion my first time trying a burger with corn potato fries and mozzarella cheese (only cheese option ) it was Good though very different from what im used to recommend kids fries food size portion 🙌🏾”

“It was my first time at sweetgreen, I ordered through the app for a pickup. They prepared my order pretty quick and accurately. The food was high quality and very healthy ingredients, no seed oils, no cane sugar, no-antibiotic salmon (wish it was wild caught). All fresh ingredients and delicious. Will definitely order more from here.”

“Raising Cane's operates on a simple premise and executes it well enough that the simplicity never feels like a limitation. The menu is deliberately narrow, built around chicken fingers and the handful of sides and sauces that complement them, and that focus pays off in the consistency of what comes out of the kitchen. The chicken fingers are the obvious centerpiece and they hold up, crispy on the outside and juicy throughout without the greasiness that brings down a lot of fast food fried chicken.

The sauce is the thing that turns a good chicken finger into the reason people come back. It is creamy and tangy with a slight kick that plays well against the chicken and makes every component on the tray work better with it than without. Ordering an extra cup is the right move and most regulars do it without thinking twice. The Texas toast is genuinely one of the better versions of the format at a fast food chain, buttery and slightly crisp in a way that earns its place on the tray rather than just filling it. The crinkle cut fries are solid without being remarkable, and the coleslaw does its job as a palate break between the richer items.

The staff is a consistent highlight at this location, with an energy and friendliness that stands out in a category where that kind of engagement is rare. The restaurant stays busy, particularly on weekends, and order accuracy can slip during the heaviest rushes, so checking your bag before you leave is worth the extra moment.”

“I’ve been to Anna’s every time I’ve visited Boston and I love it. The quesadilla, which is more like an overly stuffed burrito, is incredible—try the Al pastor. I will definitely be back!”
