50 Best American Restaurants near Lexington

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Fantastic experience- first with the greeting from the host/mgr., then collaboratively between the mgr., our server, and the chef, accommodating my food allergies with an X marked menu of what I couldn't have and marking through ingredients of menu choices remaining as to how they'd accommodate. We ordered the broccolini, kale salad, and both ordered the grass-fed steak and brisket, and the chef hit it out of the park, still maintaining mouth watering taste, while adapting those without dairy & garlic. SO GOOD! Just make a reservation & GO!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We love this place! The baked goods are our favorites, especially the personal sized cakes and loaded biscuits with seasonal fruit. Everything is made in small batches, always fresh and delightful. The thoughtful menu changes almost daily and I love that I can just pick something delicious without having to build my own. It’s always perfect as is! 🌞“

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“Special dinner or just a night out, my family and I have had many extraordinary meals at 80 Thoreau. Most recently 5 of us dined to celebrate several significant events. We spent almost 3 hours and had a truly special evening. The service was exceptional and the food superb. Everything we ate was 10 out of 10. And so was our night. Thank you 80 Thoreau!“

“Great place for date night.“

“The best meal- great service- Beautiful atmosphere And warm friendly hostess“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Buttonwood is a perfect destination to enjoy great cocktail, creative appetizers and an amazing entree!“

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!“

“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.“

“Get those awesome skins back…..“

“Great Ports Bar in Boston Mass.“

“Delicious food and excellent service!!“

“My group ordered the bone marrow hush puppies, bavette steak, prime rib, and monkfish. Only the prime rib met expectations. The monkfish consisted of 3 small slices sitting on cubed root vegetables. The lobster broth was pretty bland and was not enough to salvage an otherwise meh dish. The bavette was cooked well, but our piece contained a lot of sinew and was other connective tissue. Lastly, the desserts left a lot to be desired. We were in a rush so had to have our two desserts packed to go. One was a lanna cotta that came with the prime rib and we ordered an apple tart. We either did not receive the lanna cotta or it was more a cheesecake that looked and tasted nothing like a panna cotta. The apple tart also either lacked components or was not as described. Overall...pretty mundane meal.“

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

“Highly recommend this place. Tried the Breakfast Sandwich and Cuban sandwich they are delicious Sonsie also has a very good selection of drinks from best cappuccino. Our server Mateo was very professional and attentive. Manager GP and Dawn also visited us. They are friendly and they enhance our very best dining experience. Thank you Sonsie We will return.“

“If I need to stop on the Mass Pike, I always try to make sure it's at one of the rest stops with a Cheesey Street.
The food is delicious, and it's great to support small business.
Which sandwich to get is always a hard decision, but I usually get either the Caprese or the classic 3 cheese, sometimes with bacon.“

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

“We went on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. There were so many options to choose from but my husband decided on a pizza from Lala’s Neapolitan-ish Pizza. The size of pizza for the price is good. I got the Cheesy Ramen from Ms. Clucks Deluxe. It was delicious!! My husband saw their chicken sandwich and already decided what he will be getting next time we go and we don't even live in the state (lol). It wasn't crowded at all at the time we went in. There were plenty of open seats (both bar top height and regular height tables). We can't wait to go back.“

“Wonderful food and amazing service. We highly recommend the Washington Square Tavern. The best in the neighborhood!“

“I frequent the Tack Room often do to the fun friendly staff and the excellent food! The number of burgers that come out of the kitchen proves how fabulous they are!!!!! The rib dinner is my favorite, I’ve had it three weeks in a row. ITS THAT GOOD! Chef Dan has quite the imagination to excite the customers with a changing menu for the seasons.“

“Amazing“

“We thought this was a nice affordable restaurant in the area. We had food here multiple nights and have nothing but great things to say. The English Burger and the Roasted Chicken Dinner is good. I’d recommend those as well as the Warsteiner Pilsner on the beer menu. 😁“

“Keep an eye open for this spot. Great atmosphere as you enter. Friendly and attentive staff that still gives you room to breathe. Chicken sandwich is great but next time I need to dig in to one of those burgers.“

“Beacon Bistro is not only about the view. We enjoyed two delicious dinners, Beef Tenderloin and Scallops. The staff was friendly and accommodating especially our server, Diego, who was outstanding. The room was filled with positive energy. We highly recommend this place!“
