Restaurants in Lexington

“Absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Mike Monaco at Akame Nigiri. Totally humble sushi master who has the in depth knowledge of fish crucial to being a top tier sushi guy. My wife and I celebrated our 10th anniversary and it was exactly what we wanted— world class omakase but humble low key and very comfortable.

Chef Mike makes you feel at home with a buddy who just happens to deliver the tastiest morsels! We will be back, thanks again!!”

“Breakfast sandwiches are okay. Bacon is thicker and chewy- not crispy. Bread is toasted well. I did ask for my sandwich well-done, and it was just toasted okay. I would imagine they’re not usually toasted well. The best part about the “crack” sandwich was all of the gooey cheese. It saved the whole meal. Who can go wrong with a grilled cheese? Egg was fried perfectly, and just a bit runny. Wish the bacon was better and the sandwich had a little seasoning. It was very plain. The cheese made it, really. But like I said, they really couldn’t go wrong with all of the cheese they put in there.”

“They serve the absolute best bagels in the Boston area and their cream cheeses are to die for. Excellent sandwich creations...They also make great pastries donuts, and cookies. The coffee is pretty flavorful as well. The staff is friendly and awesome.”

“I ordered this custom cake for my daughter-in-law's Totoro themed baby shower. It came out so amazing that the mom-to-be cried. She absolutely loved it. Mirette you are so talented! The cake was delicious and received so many compliments. I highly recommend Cake Niche for your next custom cake no matter how unique it is!!”

“I was going to Alexanders to relive my childhood with a meatball sub, but they weren't open. This Thai place right next door was fast and delicious. Not even sad I didn't get to have a sub.”

“Small and cozy Indian restaurant. We’ve been here multiple times and one of the owners is always present and working alongside his staff. Food is fantastic with good portions.”

“Great food in a great shop. Went in with my family and left with full bellies and great comics.”

“india Pizza in Lexington, MA - A Hidden Gem. I recently visited India Pizza in Lexington, MA, for the first time and wasn't sure what to order. I decided on fried chicken and fried vegetable rice, which turned out to be an awesome choice. The rice came out first, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crisp, just the way I like it, even though I didn't request it that way. The customer service was top-notch—very professional. I only interacted with one staff member, but the service was fast, and I didn't have to wait long for anything. I highly recommend you try their food. I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent service all around! I'm not a person who try different culture foods. The reviews sold me. The Service I received again was top notch 👌 👍”

“Had our daughters bridal shower at the Lexington site for 30 adults and 5 kids under age 5. Beautiful venue, lovely food and terrific staff. Located in a quiet neighborhood of historic homes, it was the perfect place ! They even played Bridgerton soundtrack! Some of the decorations in the pictures are what I brought but the three tiered platters, all
China, sweets are theirs-love the apricot tarts! And the cucumber and salmon canapés were fresh. Love to go there again just for tea with my daughter.”

“Everything was great staff was helpful and nice. We had an air conditioner problem they upgraded us to another room. Helpful on check out with complementary coffee and water.”

“Jackson’s Kitchen has been a go to spot for us for years. I love that we can get a salmon dinner with rice pilaf and veggies or an awesome sub or burger. The diverse menu has something for everyone! Don’t miss out on the meatballs or fish tacos either. I end up getting a few dishes- too many good choices.”

“I have been coming here for fifty years even when I have lived far away. High quality food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. It is a vestige of the Lexington of my childhood.”

“Love Qdoba and especially this location. The service is great, Vanessa does a great job running everything behind the scenes so that customers can have an amazing experience.”

“A hidden gem! Fantastic food: Made to order, generously portioned, thoughtfully prepared. Very well priced, makes your wallet feel happy to return often. And, the dining room is airy, open, and bright. Worth a trip whether you work around here or not (I don’t, but have a doctor across the street).”

“Alone for thanksgiving,I got myself a meal for myself and my dog. BEST turkey dinner! My only criticism is the portion, he only gave me enough turkey for a few fork fulls.”

“Got a loaf of the Sunflower Multigrain a few weeks ago and this is hands down the best bread I've ever had.”

“Cupcakes!! These are amazing and the prettiest cupcakes ever! Huge hit in the office. Exceeded expectations!”

“We recently ordered a large quantity of hot fudge for our sons wedding in Delaware because Rancs has the best hot fudge anywhere!! It was a huge success! We can’t thank the owner Joe enough. He was able to get us that large order and package it for our drive to Delaware! Thank you Joe for everything!! You’re the best!!!!”

“We went there for the first time the other day and we were absolutely pleased with everything there. The food was delicious, expertly prepared, and the atmosphere was spot on! The staff was friendly and eager to talk with us like we were family! I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great meal.”

“Stopped by after hearing the most incredible accolades from restaurant peeps. Wonderful service, great food, delicious and fresh food. But this doesn’t begin to tell the story of being welcomed by more than one employee, seeing an open and clean kitchen and grill right there in open sight. Everything is made from @BoarsHead Deli and from #localproduce. #LowPriced #GreatFare #FriendlyEnvironment #GoNow!”

“Had a blueberry scone, cranberry muffin, and grabbed a garlic cheddar bread loaf. The muffin was old and dry, the scone was pretty good, but the loaf was incredible. It went amazingly with eggs and grilled cheeses. It was calorically heavy and still might have been the fastest my health-conscious household has gone through a load of bread in ages. I'm excited to try their other artisan loafs and see if they can redeem the last muffin.”

“While not open to the public, MIT Lincoln laboratory caters an excellent atmosphere, reasonably generous parking, a welcoming conference venue and a well-stocked cafeteria.”

“Last night was my second time at Post 1917 in Lexington. Outstanding meal top to bottom. The steaks were cooked to perfection, the mushroom and sweet corn sides were amazing and the tater tots (I'd rename them mashed potater tots) are ridiculous. The service was fantastic and the reception my wife and I got from Lori was as warm and welcoming as the first time I was there with a different group. We have great steak house choices in Massachusetts and this one is among the top. Well done to everyone there.”

“Desserts are delicious, high quality and not too sweet. I only get birthday cakes from here if I do decide to get one. The bubble tea is also amazing and gives pretty generous portions”

“In a service station. 2 Brazilian Staff had trouble underage my order and made mistakes entering it. We took our time amd verified and corrected 3 times since i was the only customer. Could be very tricky in crowded times or if you need clarification on options, orders or food limitations and allergies.

Dietary restrictions: Some gluten and dairy free options available!

Parking: Service station parking lot”

“WOW… just WOW! Copa Cabana Açaí bowl is soooo delicious! My husband loved the Cocosette as well. No wonder you have a 5 star rating. First time here and I’m not disappointed. From the cleanliness of the place to the preparation of each bowl, all was just perfect! The best açaí bowl I’ve had so far. Can’t wait to visit again. Blessings!”

“FOOD WAS AWESOME! OUR SERVER DYLAN WAS TOP-NOTCH! THE SCHOOL IS VERY CLEAN! MY FRIENDS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

Wheelchair accessibility: DUE TO ANY INJURY, I WAS ON CRUTCHES AND EVEN IF I HAD MY WALKER, I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. IT IS HANDICAP ACCESSABLE!

Dietary restrictions: I HAVE SEVERE FOOD ALLERGIES AND THE SCHOOL COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE CARING AND PLEASANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS WELL TAKING CARE OF!”

“A great place for Thai takeout in the Lexington-Arlington area. I especially recommend the Indo-fried rice - it's delicious. Any day you need a quick, tasty, and fresh meal, Rice Cube is the perfect decision.”

“Dana helped us plan our girls baptism and got every detail perfect and the food was incredible. She went above and beyond to make the day special for us and we could not be more grateful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using for our future events!”

“Its a nice place to grab a coffee and chill. They have a decent selection of bakery and the coffee was not bad at all. The place has a pleasent vibe to it. A must try!”

“This is one of the only places in the Boston area that serves white cheese dip! I know, white cheese dip is not a culinary marvel or even anything authentic but man I love it and I've been missing it since moving here from the south. The food was solid and reasonably priced. Also, you get chips and salsa when you sit down - big plus on my book. The menu has draft beer listed, but it wasn't available when I visited.”

“Excellent buffet, along with excellent customer service and courteous demeanpr”

“Stopped on a whim on the way home from the airport with a family member. Ordered the garlic bread, chicken broccoli alfredo, eggplant parm w/ alfredo sauce and tiramisu. The food was amazing! I can’t remember having a better tiramisu anywhere else. I wish I lived closer I would definitely be there on a regular basis. Set up is not typical, you order at the counter and they bring you the food. But you get your own drink from a cooler or iced water, silverware, napkins and bus your own dishes. So I was a little off put that I tipped 20% to do all the service myself. Staff was friendly and did give us to-go boxes when we asked for them. Would definitely recommend!”

“Diamond in the rough! The best Crab Rangoon! Delicious drinks, great atmosphere!”

“I wanted to share my recent experience at your establishment, as it has been weighing on my mind.

On Tuesday, January 6, 2026, I visited between 7:50 and 8:00 a.m., hoping to enjoy a quick breakfast before work. I approached the counter and explained to the young lady that I had come in the day before, Monday, January 5, around the same time, and unfortunately, my bagel order was incorrect. I simply wanted to ensure that this time my order would be right.

I understand that people have busy days, and when she asked why I hadn’t called or returned the previous day, I explained that I was at work and unable to be on my phone unless it was an emergency. I could sense that my request caught her off guard, which perhaps affected her response.

I wasn’t seeking a refund or anything for free; I just wanted to make sure my order would be correct. A little kindness can go a long way, and I felt that my intention was met with contempt.
I truly believe we all have our moments, and it’s important to remember that everyone has their own struggles.

As someone who has been a loyal customer for four years, it was disheartening to feel a lack of understanding in that interaction, especially when all I wanted was to make sure my order was correct this time. I know it can be challenging in a busy environment, but all I hoped for was a simple acknowledgment maybe stating, “I’m sorry that happened,” and a commitment to get my order right this time.

I genuinely appreciate the hard work that goes into running a business like this, and I hope my feedback can help foster a more supportive atmosphere for both staff and customers. Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts.”

“This has to be my favorite local food spot hands down. Not only is the hostess always kind and accommodating, but the food is flavorful and well prepared, top tier!”

“I have been to over a 100 different dunks while traveling through New England. I come in here every Friday at 1:45 as a little treat to end the work week.The worker who makes the ice coffees here makes the best ice coffee I’ve had out of any of the dunks I’ve been to. I don’t know how to explain it it’s just always perfectly made every Friday. Bagels and donuts r normal dunks bagels and donuts. But if u like ice coffee this is the place to go.”

“Definitely one of the top places in Greater Boston area with great taste and affordable prices. Went there yesterday and tried their pizza and a few subs for the family. Incredible taste and superior customer service. Just ordered more food through delivery today for lunch as well. And, the food was amazing and arrived in a timely manner. So glad to have finally found a great place with authentic Greek/Italian flavors in the area.”

“Best chicken tikka masala everrrr. You have to try this place! So good and they deliver!”

“Great flavors and an abundance of toppings! Always a fun experience”

“I had such a great experience at this Starbucks! When you work at a medical practice.. you need a mid-day caffeine pick me up � I went over ready to order 15 drinks for my office.. and the staff handled it so well! I witnessed exceptional teamwork and to top it off, they helped me carry the orders out to my car! I know for a fact that our company loves our Lexington Bedford St Starbucks! We are all frequent fliers!”

“nice place, good meal and quick service”

“Wide variety of very good food BUT, unless you speak Chinese, ordering by phone or even online is AGONY. They should hire a fluent high school kid.”

“Absolutely spectacular restaurant. *Fantastic* food for extremely reasonable prices.

You got nothing to lose really, check this gem out.
*No dine-in*”

“Just had a great New Year’s Eve dinner here! What a wonderful place to celebrate with high quality dishes, nice ambiance, good service and all for a good price. Will definitely be back!”

“The hot chocolate was a bit too bitter for my teen, we spoke with one of the baristas and he explained that it is typically more bitter than most people are accustomed to. He offered to remake it with vanilla sweetener but she declined.”

“Dog friendly on patio is the reason we keep coming back( & the amazing craft beers). Great Bands outdoors as well! #rollingnectar”

“Friendly staff. delicious pizza, and the best grilled chicken Greek salad. Very generous portion of freshly grilled chicken on top of feta on top of everything else. Yum.”

“amazing pastries and amazing staff”

“I love bubble tea, so going after school to get a drink is awesome. Nothing super special about the drinks they're still good.

My go-to order: Large Mango Green Tea, 30% or 50% sugar, Less Ice or No Ice, and Tapioca Pearls”
