50 Best American Restaurants near Lexington

“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.“

“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!“

“I couldn’t give any other review—I completely fell in love with the food here!! I still dream about the crème brûlée with pear. Absolutely insane!
It’s a bit pricey but nothing outrageous compared to other restaurants of the same quality in the area. Service is lovely too!“

“We stumbled upon Half & Half while searching for a place to get breakfast and stopped in with our 2 yo. Very cute interior with a friendly staff and delicious food. My wife absolutely loved her avocado toast with eggs and my breakfast sandwich was perfectly grilled. We ordered chocolate chip pancakes for our son who also chomped on my home fries and fresh fruit from my wife’s plate. The person who waited on us (the owner?) was exceptionally friendly and stopped off to talk through all of the various types of butter on the table (no, seriously, like four different kinds and all equally amazing!). We will definitely be back for lunch — and more butter.“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“This is really awesome🥰🥰“

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and superb service. Highly recommend!“

“Vertigo Trio would like to thank Prep Neighborhood Kitchen for an incredible meal at our gig in their restaurant last night. Just absolutely fabulous! These guys are like "Bear" but with less swearing and death threats!“

“80 Thoreau is a lovely restaurant, wonderful ambience. Great cocktails, salad, amazing peach dessert. My dining partner loved her swordfish, but I was disappointed with the shrimp entree, and I just wouldn't order that again. I'll definitely keep going back!“

“Great food, service and atmosphere.“

“Cityside Tavern is a casual restaurant spot in Boston's Brighton neighborhood and a great place to dine with friends or that special someone. Plenty of television screens are scattered everywhere to catch live sports action, the ambiance has the young college crowd (being near Boston College), the music is moderate in volume and the menu has many excellent food options to choose from. The restaurant is divided into two floors – one downstairs section and one upstairs section – to allow for additional seating capacity. In the summer season, an outdoor seating patio on the second level gives patrons a great view of the traffic flow through Cleveland Circle. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an upscale dining experience in one of Boston's bustling neighborhoods.“

“Great Ports Bar in Boston Mass.“

“We just moved to the neighborhood and we are obsessed.

The sandwiches are like no other sandwiches. The focaccia is home made. The ingredients are fresh, seasonal and locally sourced. It’s not just a sandwich, it’s sandwich art!

There are some rules, such as no eating inside, but they enhance the experience: Davis Sq. is a delightful place to eat outside.

We have yet to eat every item on the menu, but nothing has disappointed so far. Excellent coffee and kombucha are also on offer.“

“Friendly service and amazing food! My daughter had the grilled organic chicken sandwich and I had the mixed greens and arugula salad-- both were delicious. Our server was knowledgeable, and several other servers double checked on us and greeted us as they walked by. We will definitely be back.“

“Never had a better experience at a restaurant. Child friendly. Staff is super nice and really accommodating. New favorite spot to go!“

“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough“

“AMAZING atmosphere!!! AMAZING service!!!! AMAZING food!!! Seriously run to grab a bite here and ask for Sara as your waitress!! The burratta was Michelin star worthy. The best bite of food that I have ever had.“

“Great place for date night.“

“Fantastic food, service and atmosphere! A must try for dinner in the Boston area 🙂“

“If you’re looking for well-known dishes without unnecessary fuss, but prepared to absolute perfection, this is the place to go. Unfortunately, the service felt a bit unmotivated. However, the food was so outstanding that it still fully deserves five stars.“

“What an amazing place. In these times when we are still not comfortable dining indoors this place rocks. The chef behind these dishes knows a thing or two about bringing beer garden food to a totally new level. Thank you chef and staff in front of the house.“

“Great tapas / quite filling“

“Awesome good food and awesome prices! Kid friendly and everybody is chill!“

“Fabulous food. Great coffee. What more can you ask for???“

“This was one of the finest dining experiences we've had. We've heard about Giulia for months now, reputed as one of, if not the best Italian restaurant in Massachusetts, which meant we had extremely high expectations going in. Combined with the difficulty of getting a reservation due to the popularity (with many nights waiting at 12am sharp hoping that I refreshed fast enough), and finally we had secured a reservation. The food is heavenly. We ordered the erbazzone and grilled rosemary flatbread for appetizers, and both were so delicious— especially the erbazzone, which was probably the tastiest appetizer I have tasted. I still crave it as I am writing this, and my girlfriend feels the same way. The flatbread was also amazing, though the erbazzone trumps almost anything from the night. My girlfriend ordered the vegetarian bucatini, and I ordered their famous wild boar pappardelle. Both pastas were excellent, though not as standout as the appetizers. It was really nice to note that they deducted the price for the vegetarian pasta from 28 (which would include meat) to 18, which we really appreciated. Finally, we ordered the yogurt panna cotta with beach rose, toasted coconut and winter citrus for dessert. Oh my god, this is the greatest food I have tasted in eons. My girlfriend thinks it's the best thing she has eaten (and we're both very judgy with food!). Neither of us had thought we would enjoy anything rose-flavored so much, with the taste recurring with each bit of saliva, slowly dissipating with time. It is as if rose bloomed in our mouth, slowly melted to our tongues, and withered away as we bit away and let it wither. The sweetness gave way for the rose, and the rose enhanced the coconut and yogurt tastes. We should have ordered another one. Overall, this was probably one of the top three meals in my life, and certainly best in the New England area. I HIGHLY recommend everyone to go, and honestly it might even be better to just order appetizers and dessert“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

“Get those awesome skins back…..“

“I didn't expect anything but the usual chains at a highway rest stop, but this place looked better than McDonalds so I got the chipotle mac & cheese and the broccoli cheddar soup. Both were great! Glad to know there's a place like this on the Pike.“

“Great experience, amazing service, and even better food“

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“Great food and the service is fantastic.“

“Delicious food and excellent service!!“

“This was such an amazing experience. Cocktails last night and brunch this morning. Great food and amazing service 10/10 💗“

“We live really close to daddy jones, and it’s become our go-to for dinner (and occasionally brunch!) now for the past three years. Their cocktails are always excellent & creative (and rotate seasonally). Their gyros are incredible, salads are so fresh, and we really love their lemon pepper wings and sweet potato fries. It’s a really cute date night spot, and the service is always fast and friendly. A bonus during the summer is the patio space in the back!“

“great place to pack all my fans love the staff looking to perform here sometime in the near future“
