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!!”

“went for birthday breakfast realy popular best beakf+fast around great food fast sevice friendly staff great diet cokes really recomend it”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“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.”

“Great spot for quick, good meal!!”

“The best pupusas in all of Framingham. 😋”

“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..”

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

“Stopped here on an impromptu lunch trip, everything was delicious! Staff was super friendly and gave suggestions on what’s good on the menu. I got a steak & cheese with onions and it was very good!

Restaurant is clean, and prices are decent. Will definitely come back next time I’m in the area!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“We had a wonderful experience at Nawabi Hyderabad House. Every item we tried was absolutely amazing — full of flavor, fresh, and really well prepared. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food.

A special mention to their pulavs — they are a must-try. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy flavorful Indian food and want to try something really delicious.”

“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”

“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.”

“Best steak & cheese And Pizza 😍”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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.”

“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!”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Came here for a latte and donut on my way home from work. Everything in my order was correct, the staff were friendly, and they were working as fast as is reasonable. The wait was not very long, although it could have been shorter if there were more than two employees working. I hope they're not understaffed.”

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

“Had a party of 16... The team took great care of us. Gave us time to talk and mingle, and even be a bit of a pain around ordering time... Drinks were fast, food was awesome, staff made it great.
We ended up at a 'long table' and the busy kitchen aisle, a bit loud (and we were probably too to others)... May need to ensure a 'room' next time.”

“I was in Framingham from NJ for a family party and was directed by the Aloft hotel staff to dine at BJs Restaurant and Brew House just a few steps from the hotel. After unpacking, my dtrs and we make our way there. The friendly front staff greeted us and seated us where we can see the game. Now the music was flowing and vibing and I found myself dancing in my seat. In about 1 minute our waitress Gwen came to take our orders. She was professional, friendly and very helpful with suggestions. I chose the Brisket bacon burger and sweet potato fries with a Shirley Temple. Oh my god!!!! What a masterpiece of a meal. I had to speak to a manager to praise them and Jackie was walking by. I was so excited when I stoped her she thought something was wrong. I explained the experience I was having and thanked her and asked her not to take this off the menu ever. Then after a few more wonderful bites, manager Tim comes by to check on us. I invited him to sit so I can also explain to him the joy my mouth and I was experiencing and thanked him also. He told me there was a restaurant near me in Tom’s River, NJ and that elevated my joy. Thank you Gwen, Jackie, Tim and staff for the best restaurant experience I’ve had in a long time away from home. You have a wonderful establishment, staff, food and welcoming dining experience. I will be back every time I make a trip into Framingham AND will go to Toms River, Nj when I get back home to New Jersey. People run to PJs, you will not be disappointed. Look for Gwen, Jackie and Tim and let them know I sent you.”

“went for birthday breakfast realy popular best beakf+fast around great food fast sevice friendly staff great diet cokes really recomend it”

“From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, setting the tone for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. The menu offered a thoughtful selection of dishes, each crafted with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented. Every bite was packed with flavor—balanced, creative, and clearly made with care.

What truly elevated the evening, however, was the service—especially from Nas. Our server, Nas, was attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic. They offered spot-on recommendations, checked in at just the right moments, and made us feel completely taken care of throughout the meal. It’s rare to encounter service that feels this natural and sincere, and Nas made a lasting impression.

Great food can bring you in, but it’s the people who make you want to come back—and in this case, Nas made the entire experience unforgettable.”

“This place is amazing, good service, good food, great place to eat.”

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

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

“The food quality feels fresher than other locations. Service was good and welcoming. Solid spot for brunch or morning coffee. My server Maria was very attentive and welcoming.”

“We had a wonderful experience at Nawabi Hyderabad House. Every item we tried was absolutely amazing — full of flavor, fresh, and really well prepared. You can tell a lot of care goes into the food.

A special mention to their pulavs — they are a must-try. Highly recommend this place if you enjoy flavorful Indian food and want to try something really delicious.”

“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.”

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

“Had a great experience at VINGOUTE Restaurant. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and everything came out fresh and well prepared. One thing that really stood out was how clean the restaurant was. The tables, floor's and overall dining area were spotless and very well maintained. You can tell they take pride in keeping the place nice for their customers. Definitely a great spot to eat and I would come back again.”

“Spicy pork bulgogi is delicious! Next time I’ll get it extra spicy because it’s a bit mild. Great portion sizes!

The Coreanos bowl is a bit underwhelming - it’s just a basic fried rice with some kind of spicy sauces on top. Since it’s named after the restaurant, i would suggest for the restaurant to make it more flavorful and exciting.

Avoid the veggie dumplings. They’re just deep fried frozen dumplings, and for takeout they just steam and lose their texture.”

“I had a great experience at Dilli Darbar. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared, and every dish felt rich in authentic Indian taste. If you visit, a few dishes worth trying are the butter chicken, chicken biryani, paneer tikka, and garlic naan. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff made the visit even better with friendly, attentive service. If you are looking for a place that combines delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and genuine hospitality, Dilli Darbar is definitely worth a visit.”

“the best matcha i have ever tried !!!! they also offer hojicha and vietnamese coffee. rotating menu with different flavors.

it took me an hr to go there but it’s definitely the thing im looking forward to every Sunday. hope they will open again soon 😭🥹”

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

“The two ladies at the front were very friendly. The food was AMAZING. Like wow it was so good. The meat (beef) shawarma was so good and it was packed with veggies (jalapeño, lettuce, onion, tomatoes, and cucumbers). It was also relatively cheap. ~$22 for two people. I would definitely come here again, one of the best shawarmas I’ve ever had. Also had free dessert. The baklava was so tasty as well as the chocolate cake. 10/10”

“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 🙌🏾”

“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.”

“My mom and I stopped in on Saturday and we had the best experience. The food was great but the service that your employee Ben provided was tot notch! He was sooo kind to us and made the whole experience wonderful. We will definitely be back and hope Ben will be there. Good hardworking people are hard to find. So glad to have met him!”

“I just left there and love the place. I no longer live or work in Boston. So I want to personally Thank whoever made the decision to open up a new spot in Natick. THANK YOU!! 🙏🏿”
