Restaurants in Jamaica Plain

“Amazing food and bookstore!”

“This location has seating inside which is why I like this location better than the original. Clean facilities. Nice staff. No public restrooms. On the expensive side so bring your credit cards 💳. Give this place a try if you’re in the area. We will definitely be going back.”

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.”

“The food was great,
Service fantastic, I really love the inside of the restaurant feels like you are at abuela’s Casa,
I really recommend this place to any one”

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!”

“The food here is absolutely incredible. Service in regard to how quickly the food is prepared is a little slow at times when they are very busy, but that it to be expected, and the food quality and how quickly they seat you and their attentiveness more than makes up for it. This is a regular spot for me and my family/friends.”

“The food is delicious! It is a small cafe/shop and the seating is nice but seems to be more take out and just a small shop for fresh seafood or take away.

The lobster sliders with lobster bisque was excellent. Nice big pieces of meat, buttery roll, not too much sauce. The lobster bisque was creamy but not too thick. Lots of flavor and good oyster crackers.

Friendly people.”

“Absolutely love Juicy Greens in JP! 🥰🥰”

“Honey garlic If there’s one dish that knows how to hit all the right notes, it’s this honey garlic boneless chicken. From the first bite, you get that perfect balance of crispy, juicy chicken coated in a sauce that’s the definition of sweet, garlicky perfection. The honey brings a rich, sticky sweetness that isn’t overpowering, while the garlic adds just the right amount of savory depth to keep every bite interesting.

The texture is spot-on—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely drenched in that glossy, flavor-packed sauce. It clings to the chicken just right, ensuring each bite is loaded with flavor without being overly messy. Whether you’re pairing it with rice, veggies, or just enjoying it on its own, this dish delivers on every level.

If you’re a fan of that irresistible combo of sweet and savory with a little garlicky kick, this honey garlic boneless chicken is a must-try. It’s the kind of dish that keeps you coming back for more—and honestly, restraint is not an option.”

“Best lunch buffet. I especially like the Palak Paneer (cottage cheese and spinach).”

“The food is great and short wait time.”

“I love the matcha mango smoothie and the waffle they are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, and the workers are really nice, it is also a great location and the it is a really nice environment.”

“Ordered a chicken cachapa which was delicious. Just what I wanted. They are still getting set up since they are new to the area but I used to go to them all the time before. Lovely people.”

“Great little spot we found today! My daughter had a delicious salad and I had the fish sandwich! Very good, clean and friendly service!”

“This place is great! I get the carne Frita with arroz de morro y yuca con cebolla . (Pictured on my review)If you want chicken, the combo Dominicano is also amazing - you get a half roasted chicken with 2 sides - they have cho fan rice which is Chinese rice aswell. The relleno de yuca is so good too must try! There is no seating , you just grab your food to go. They definitely give you a good amount of food,which is why I love it there,they have small medium and large portion sizes .”

“A great gem my daughter and I went to while she was visiting from California . The monkey bread muffin definitely a treat along with the peanut butter explosion coffee Thank you for your kindness”

“Excellent local JP coffee shop, super friendly and warm staff. My daughter has a number of food allergies (non-nut as well) and they are excellent answering all of my questions. She loves going!”

“I love this little bakery SO much. Easily one of the coolest places in Boston. And their croissants/tarts/pies/BREADPUDDINGS are my downfall... and I mean that in the best way possible.”

“New favorite no frills breakfast place in JP with healthy options but also bacon”

“lobster empanadas and on the spot freshly made. would go again. young lady at the end should have came to front spoke great English. the gentleman tried his best and blonde head papi helped me quite a bit muy quapo dark stranger. would recommend going my 1st time today”

“Life alive Café
I love the decor of their restaurants . The people are really friendly here. Just remember when you walk in grab a menu figure out what you want and then they’ll bring it to your table. The smoothies and teas are delicious. I’ve had salads and warm bowls. Very healthy and worth the price.”

“Delicioso todo! Recomendado 100% y la menor atención”

“the food was great and definitely worth the drive i will be coming back and recommend it to anyone who is in the area looking for great place to eat the atmosphere was great and really put the cherry on top”

“Great food, great service! Our server Omar was fantastic 😊”

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing”

“We were in Boston with nine of us staying in the Jamaica plains neighborhood and stopped here for coffee and pastries every morning. The staff kind of adopted us as we are diehard Redsox fans from Iowa. I loved the Spiced Pear lattee as well as other drinks. The patries were amazing as well but it was the staff that made us feel at home.”

“I got a bento box w/ chicken teriyaki and added extra teriyaki sauce I definitely recommend! It came w/ chicken teriyaki, chicken dumplings, vegetables, California roll definitely worth the 13.50$ I spent ! I recommend this place to you! The portion is definitely fair and they don’t rip you off .”

“Moved to the neighborhood in June. First time going here. Heard the gyros were good and that their chicken was good. So I decided to try both. The recommendations were not wrong. That was absolutely delicious. Great cuts of chicken. Soft and tender. Normally take out chicken is tough and gristly. I’ve never eaten 10 buffalo tenders in one sitting before. I did today. The gyro was very tasty. Simple basic ingredients that compliment each other. If this is how the rest of the menu is, it is definitely a perk to living over here. Two thumbs up…”

“Just ordered from the Food Wall. Very easy ordering over the phone. Very fast delivery by very courteous drive and all at a very fair price. We ordered Crab Rangoon, Scallion Pancake, eggplant in garlic sauce and chicken with string beans. All 5 stars. The rangoon was one of the best I've had anywhere. Thanks, Food Wall.”

“I genuinely have no clue what everyone is saying about the owner. she is very nice and I've only had good experiences with her. I think many people are just rude to service workers in general and aren't used to someone talking back.”
