Restaurants in Lowell

“Food was excellent!!! Vee and his wife are so dedicated to their craft. They make a variety of dishes. We tried many -all were delicious! We enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely make the trip back. Street parking is available-the posted signs say 8-5 m-f (or something like that). So easy for evening and weekends!”

“10/10 fantastic food and service.”

“You have to try this place. Very tasty food. Freshly prepared Extra generous portions of meat, huge portion size. Not from the area, but worth the ride. Will be ordering more for sure”

“Ordered the Time Out Club and Time Bomb paninis. It was delicious and will definitely order again. Can't believe I've been overlooking this place! Looking forward to trying other items soon 😋”

“Outstanding food. Great waitresses. Awesome. Atmosphere. Love the place.”

“This is my go-to place during breaks from work. The food is some of the least expensive in the area, it's delicious, and it's filling. Plus, the people who run the restaurant are kind and welcoming. Highly recommended!”

“Great food,great service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“One of the best salads around. Greek salad with a scoop of their delicious tuna is my favorite. Always fresh and crunchy. Excellent service with a smile every time.”

“Delicious family meal on Wednesday night. The chicken marsala was the best I have had. Shannon did a fabulous job with a pretty busy night”

“Awesome menu, great tunes, even better people! Cal Beef sandwich & The Colada smoothie are my go-to, and the new breakfast menu is also a hit! Eat-in or grab takeout, they have something for everyone.”

“Extraordinary dining experience, delightful and knowledgeable service, and great atmosphere. I am so pleased by the experience.”

“Oh My Gods! This place! Came here with a friend who has celiacs and what a find. The food is incredibly flavorful, the portions are amazing, the Lavender coffee is amazing, and the current soup of the day is Chefs kiss!! Amazing, overall I recommend it to everyone!! Will most certainly be returning.”

“A solid slices of pizza experience with enough variety in toppings that it'll be difficult to get bored. Add the OG hip-hop playlist that is always in effect and this place is effectively a time machine back to the 1990s! 🛸 Two slices and a fountain soda for under $10 you can't go wrong!”

“Yummy Green Goddess Grain bowl and iced ocean blue latte followed by a Mexican hot chocolate latte for dessert. Love the vibe. Love the food. Please please open a cafe in Rhode Island, preferably in Newport or Middletown. :) See you again soon!”

“very yummy food. Excellent service!”

“I loved this place while visiting, amazing crispy wings and fries, very welcoming and caring staff, great atmosphere with nice music and lighting. Felt very comfortable there, I would happily go again”

“Amazing food! We order here regularly”

“I never comment or post about a restaurant, however since eating here I cannot stop thinking about it. Friendly staff, amazing drinks, and live music that was good and not so loud you couldn’t hear the staff or other members in your party speaking. The jerk chicken alone is enough of a reason to visit this place. I highly recommend Sahel to anyone, even if it’s just for drinks and an appetizer.”

“Nothing fancy, just delicious Latin American comfort food. I had arroz con pollo. Never mind I'm Polish, it felt like my grandma cooked for me. My companion had one of regional plates. We both left with enough for lunch tomorrow. I can hardly wait.”

“We have gotten takeout from here 2x now. Both times we have loved our food. I highly suggest to anyone that likes spicy food to give it a try 😊”

“Awesome first time experience and very fast service, our waitress was great and they were all dressed up for Halloween 👻 🎃”

“so so good, been wanting to try and now we need to come back and try more. service and food was outstanding”

“A little sugar goes a long way. No need to overly sweeten food. You need your customers alive. Also just recently ordered your rice and it didn't have that smokey wok flavor. 😟
Please keep the rice the same as always. Maybe a different cook i don't know but you have the best rice in town. And never too greasy. Other than this flavor is always great. Hunan Chicken, chicken and broccoli and orange chicken is a hit. And rice when fresh with smoky wok flavor. Can't wait to try a few other things.”

“I love pizza mill city pizza”

“Excellent service an food was amazing”

“new owner and wonderful food, we order for our event and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and how good it tasted.”

“One of the very few Dunkins that get your order correct”

“Amazing service great workers”

“Great experience every time I come here! The food is always fresh, hot, and made correctly! Definitely better than most locations ( westford) anyways the staff are so friendly, fast, and they keeps things moving even when it's busy. The restaurant is clean, and the service is consistently great. Definitely one of the better McDonald's locations. Highly recommend! 🍟⭐🍔”

“it's relaxing great coffee ☕”

“Very nice fast food place. It's the place to go when you just don't feel like cooking gets you really full and all set. The wait is not long at all and very nice overral.”

“I love your store and I congratulate you for your service”

“It was so nice of them to give us UML students free ice cream after the lockdown! The pumpkin oreo ice cream was great!”

“they were so kind! I came in 30 mins before closing with out realizing until I started eating my meal. They didn't rush me at all. I did leave prior to closing. I appreciate the good food and friendly atmosphere and kind staff. thank you! -Megan and service dog zorro”

“What an amazing restaurant in the most ideal location in Lowell. Today was my first time having entered the beautiful location and had take out. I can without a doubt state that my husband and I will be coming in and be patrons because of the friendly service, unique style, and most definitely the fresh ingredients used in their menu. Thank you for helping me on a stressful day and so happy I finally came in!”

“I tried Cambodian food for the first time here and absolutely loved it! I had the stuffed chicken wings and kaw ko and both were incredibly tasty and aromatic. The whole experience felt less like being at a restaurant and more like being a guest in someone’s home, I felt so welcome. Excellent, super friendly service from Phila. Definitely coming back!”

“Used to live right off of Gorham street and would have Georges weekly! Miss it! Go out of our way to get take out there now. Great customer service always and friendly staff. Everything is delicious from the steak or chicken kebab dinners that rice with the red sauce, to the steak and cheese subs.. seriously THE BEST!”

“My 1st experience was great/ friendly and delicious! I’ll be back.”

“We got 2 large platters (one hot and one raw) for 4 adults. WoW. That was a lot of food. The presentation was beautiful, one on a boat and the other on a bridge. The pieces were huge and very fresh. A lot of different combinations to try. The waitstaff was so nice. Highly recommend!”

“My daughter in law’s lovely large Khmer family really wanted to go to this restaurant! We drove from Ny and the other family members flew in from CA and drove from CT. The food was fantastic and quite flavorful. We got a real smorgasbord of various dishes that we all enjoyed. My favorites were the Khmer chicken wings-outstanding crunch and flavor (I like them better than Buffalo wings), and my absolute favorite, lemongrass chicken. Every other dish was amazing, too. We certainly want to go back here!”

“Its a really small diner, that pack some flavor. Recommend getting the booth mill sandwich. Bread, potatoes, eggs and choice of protein. What more can you ask for.”

“I doubted an app could pick a restaurant, but it found this place by scanning my plate for calories. The hot dog had enough protein for my day and tasted good. The service here is fast and friendly.”

“Two years ago I switched my allegiance from Haute Coffee in Concord, MA to Nibbana Cafe in Lowell. While the coffee at Haute is indeed very good (Counter Culture beans, not local), I find the staff there a bit impersonal. Seating is also quite limited. Nibbana has equally good coffee (if not better, which is really saying something), provided by Tiny Arms, a local roaster. There is plenty of seating and parking at their location at Western Avenue Studios. The coffee is generally light-to-medium roast and they offer an array of interesting, unusual coffee drinks (I only drink espresso, straight, so I can't comment on those). At the time of this review, they have been cranking out lots of new food items. The staff is extremely friendly, always offering a welcoming smile and an enthusiastic "Enjoy!" when I pick up my order. The owners truly live by what Buddhists call "right living". They are very community-focused, and it shows. If you haven't checked out Nibbana, you're really missing out on a special place.”

“If you wanna put a smile on your face, go to this diner! It is the epitome of New England diner food, and service! The food was awesome, I ordered the three eggs breakfast and they gave five pieces of bacon! Who gives five pieces of bacon? And the home fries are the best I've ever had. I currently live in South Carolina and we came home for a visit and my brother took us here and it was so delicious. And the waitress Lisa was awesome, and I love that she bantered with my brother, who is a regular there. Very reasonably priced, incredible amount of food for your money and delicious food at that! Thank you for a great morning that put a big smile on all of our faces!”

“Food is delicious! Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxing. We always leave with full bellies and leftovers to enjoy again 😋”

“Last Friday afternoon had Friendly service delicious food . The cook came out to ask how me and my kids food was and asked if we needed anything friendly staff def planning on going again 😊”

“My husband and I tried out this restaurant and were very happy we did. The food was exceptional, service was great, and we enjoyed the atmosphere. We will definitely be going back.”

“Oh my! We asked our front desk clerk at our hotel , Sonesta Select, for a good place to eat. Before I could finish the sentence she told me Cameo Diner. Holy Smokes! I am so very glad I asked! Wonderful food, excellent service, fair prices, quintessential Boston. It’s really is like Cheers! Everyone knew everyone and made you feel like they knew you, as well! If you are in Lowell, do yourself a favor and eat here! We had breakfast and like I said absolutely amazing place to eat.”

“Very quaint and comfortable atmosphere. The food and drinks are fantastic . The inside is very nice and the staff are impeccable people. Great place to get out and relax for a bit no pressure pure bliss!”

“delicious fried chicken 👍👍👍”

“Have always enjoyed our trips to the IV Seasons. Haddock is excellant as is their beef pot roast, (2 of my favorites! Comfy atmosphere, great wait staff !”

“What a hidden little gem. Had the carne do sol sandwich and it was as delicious as it looked! Shredded beef had so much flavor and the garlic sauce was just the right touch. House coffee was well made as well. But the shining star here was Mary. What a pleasure and an asset to this place she is! She made our visit worth a second visit coming soon!”

“First time visiting. We visit a lot of Mexican restaurants in and around the North Shore, and have our favorites. This is for sure a new favorite for us. The customer service at the location in Malden was excellent, our waitress was so polite, personable, and the right amount of attentive. The restaurant was spotless, I mean, SPOTLESS, including the restroom. The rest of the staff checked in, and the food was excellent.”

“5 star ⭐️ Bring back Chicken Marsala the Best 👍🔝💯”

“Great cheese steak and pizza!!”

“I walked in craving tonkotsu but Big Mike the Manhole Inspector was already at the bar arguing with the waiter about whether ramen broth counts as “sewage water.” Next thing I know Darlene Quackington (self-proclaimed retired Disney princess) starts twerking on the table yelling “this is my kingdom!” while Lil’ Pookie Jenkins was in the corner trying to record a SoundCloud freestyle over the loud music.
Somehow I ended up in the alley behind the spot with Shauna Ratood doing the nastiest in the back of a stolen lime green Walmart mobility scooter. I buss so hard the soft boiled egg from my ramen flew out my pocket and hit a tourist. The noodles were mid but the vibes had me seeing ancestors. 10/10 would let Big Mike inspect the manholes again after hours.”

“The Coffee Mill Emporium is truly one of those rare places that feels like home the moment you walk through the door. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, and the kind of genuine friendliness you find here is something you don’t come across often. Pina and Veronica are the heart of it all. They not only make incredible coffee, they make every visit feel personal. They always remember the locals’ orders, greet you with a smile, and somehow manage to brighten even the toughest mornings. Their kindness, consistency, and authentic care for the community make this place stand out in the best possible way.”

“My favorite restaurant ever, all the foods are the best 👍🏼😋”

“First visit today, the bread is amazing!!! Love it❤”

“Tried the egg rolls and the Mee Kha Thang with gravy. Pretty good. Going to have to try another dish!”

“Great taste of the food and very fresh!!”

“I snapped a photo and the app found this place for me because it counts calories from the picture. The empanada fit my daily limit and tasted good. The service is fast and the counter is clean.”

“Love their pizza !! Their grilled chicken greek salad is awesome !”

“Just had the best sandwich I’ve had in a very long time”

“Just wanted to thank you today. My daughter got a drink and I got the mango one. We also got 6 macaroons. The macaroons where so good, and fresh!! They where not dried out. My favorite was the pistachio and coconut. Thank you very much for explaining the drinks and not making us feel rushed. Thank you again.”

“really tasty pizza. friendly staff”

“Great food-Great people 😊”

“Good prices and good food!”

“My absolute favorite pizza place in Lowell!! Sorry not sorry. And no, it's not closed down. They had to fix a hood fan; I believe that's pretty much all that was. Yes, there are new owners. I have heard from other friends that they've gone and it was horrible, and it's not the same anymore... Well, the last 2 times I've gone (very recently) it was delicious! Once there could have been a tad more sauce, but it was still excellent. I love the sauce the more the merrier, lol! The inside could use a little pick me up, but it's a staple mark of Lowell and it's still how I remember it as a kid. ❤❤❤”

“Excellent customers service.”

“Delicious and wide variety to choose from”

“delicious all day and night breakfast!”

“Great price ... Great service .... Luckiest place to play lottery...”

“love love love their soft,sweet,huge pillows of love that they call "vanilla cream filled donut" 😋🍩 the fruity pebbles donut is texturally amazing on top of the sweet creamy love pillow 😂 thanks guys for keeping this girl chunky ❣️ 🤣”

“Blown away with the shaved snow. Mine was delicious. Exceeded my expectations. Watched it on phantom gourmet and decided to visit. Very friendly helpful staff for us first timers. Comfortable atmosphere and can watch from the front and see them make your order”

“Rizzo’s is my go to place for takeout. They have a wide variety to choose from. Their food is very good, and the delivery service is fast and friendly. The last couple of times,I got a surprise with my orders. The piece of chocolate cake this time was very much appreciated. Love Rizzo’s.”

“I hardly ever, Ever, give a perfect score across the board. This restaurant has achieved that status and here's why;

This location is also an event space! As shown in the and picture below; there's plenty of room for dining in or taking out. There is plenty of parking, although, it is shared with a few businesses in the back.

The location is conveniently RIGHT near a highway for easy on/off access for a quick bite (if you want take-out, call ahead of course).

I strongly recommend their Nim Chow.”

“Outstanding food. Great waitresses. Awesome. Atmosphere. Love the place.”

“Oh my! We asked our front desk clerk at our hotel , Sonesta Select, for a good place to eat. Before I could finish the sentence she told me Cameo Diner. Holy Smokes! I am so very glad I asked!

“new owner and wonderful food, we order for our event and were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and how good it tasted.”

“this was my favorite place before and cant wait to get back. just found out open again.”

“Wings and spring rolls were delicious. Best wings I've ever had. No prices on menu, only photos of dishes. Asked ahead of ordering. Overcharged by $12. Mentioned and a portion of charge removed. Too lazy to argue any further. Will go back, but making sure of prices by asking wait staff to write it down.”

“Have always enjoyed our trips to the IV Seasons. Haddock is excellant as is their beef pot roast, (2 of my favorites! Comfy atmosphere, great wait staff !”

“Great place to eat and drink. Friendly atmosphere.”

“My 40 year best friends in I stop here frequently on Friday nights after our girls night dinner! Great end to the work week! We absolutely love Rye and her friend (now looking at colleges)! They are so nice! Rye always remembers what we each like and makes us feel so at home! Delicious comfort!”

“Very quaint and comfortable atmosphere. The food and drinks are fantastic . The inside is very nice and the staff are impeccable people. Great place to get out and relax for a bit no pressure pure bliss!”

“The very BEST California Benny ever!!!”

“Must commend Avni for the excellent service provided by her.”

“thank you Matt and Joel for your service and attention”

“Must commend Avni for the excellent service provided by her.”

“prompt service, clean & great steak tips”

“We had such a great experience! Our server, Paige, was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely made us feel taken care of the entire time we were there. You could tell she really cared about giving her customers a great experience.
What stood out the most was how well she handled everything, even while clearly having other tables to take care of. She never made us feel rushed or forgotten, and she somehow managed to stay on top of everything while still being personable and checking in with us throughout our meal. Her service was quick, organized, and consistent, and she had such a great attitude the entire time.
Paige really went above and beyond, and honestly, good service like that makes such a difference. She was attentive without being overbearing, friendly without being fake, and made the whole experience enjoyable. You can tell she takes pride in her job and knows how to take care of her customers.
We will definitely be back, and if you get Paige as your server, you’re in good hands! She deserves recognition for the job she does because she was truly one of the best servers we’ve had.”

“Yummy Green Goddess Grain bowl and iced ocean blue latte followed by a Mexican hot chocolate latte for dessert. Love the vibe. Love the food. Please please open a cafe in Rhode Island, preferably in Newport or Middletown. :) See you again soon!”

“Great experience every time I come here! The food is always fresh, hot, and made correctly! Definitely better than most locations ( westford) anyways the staff are so friendly, fast, and they keeps things moving even when it's busy. The restaurant is clean, and the service is consistently great. Definitely one of the better McDonald's locations. Highly recommend! 🍟⭐🍔”

“The best fried crispy chicken ever and their fried rice OMG sooo good I would recommend.. !!!”

“You have to try this place. Very tasty food. Freshly prepared Extra generous portions of meat, huge portion size. Not from the area, but worth the ride. Will be ordering more for sure”

“I went there for lunch and they were quick with the food and it was good and I have delivered for them from Uber and doordash and they were quick to make and give the food for delivery”

“Big thanks to the service by the two women who stopped a fraudulent order from my hacked Grubhub account and then also processed the refund after Grubhub initially wouldn't. Glad I called you before you started the order! Also, if the manager or someone would like to message me, I would like to Venmo them each a tip for their help. Saved me $56. Just mention Nick from Wisconsin and they'll probably remember it. Next time I'm in the Boston of Nashua area I'll have to stop by!”

“My 1st experience was great/ friendly and delicious! I’ll be back.”

“Amazing service great workers”

“Very nice fast food place. It's the place to go when you just don't feel like cooking gets you really full and all set. The wait is not long at all and very nice overral.”

“Food: 4 stars Service: 3 stars Atmosphere: 4 Stars. Food is nothing to keep me away from the establishment, though it’s definitely not the best, as most fast food places are. The paper packaging at least for me always sticks to the taco which kind of grosses me out, but then again it’s probably just grease, last time I stepped foot into that place it was slightly dirty though clean enough for me to not get grossed out. They do tend to take their time depending on who’s working there, though other employees are very nice and timely. Overall if you are looking for a quick place to grab dinner, this is a pretty good option. On the other hand don’t expect anything outstanding from the rest of the fast food chains.”

“We had the best time at Shir Bakery today! I visited with my daughter and some friends, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious—from the samosa chaat and aloo tikki chaat to the rose falooda, mango lassi, and the most amazing strawberry and tiramisu cakes. A huge thank you to the wonderful owners, Indu and Lokesh, for going above and beyond to make us feel so welcome. Their warmth and hospitality made the whole experience even more special. Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend Shir Bakery for anyone who loves flavorful snacks, incredible desserts, and genuine hospitality.”

“I was happy to find Cafe Eclipse while visiting Lowell, it's a nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly, I really enjoyed a cafe au last and an almond croissant. I highly recommend.”

“I don't go anywhere else for Mexican takeout. Fresh, fast and large portions. Worth every penny. And yes, it's authentic. My favorite? The burrito bowls most definitely!”

“Best sandwiches and bubble tea in Lowell!”

“The Detroit pizza is so good and fed 5 ppl ! The ribs were delicious!”

“Just moved to the neighborhood, and had a top notch experience eating at Gifu Teriyaki & Sushi. Walked in and was immediately greeted warmly, we ordered and we were out the door with our takeout within minutes. Planning to be a regular!”

“Amazing food, amazing quality and amazing service. I will absolutely be ordering again! I got the sirloin steak. I wish I took a picture of it before but I cleaned my plate.”

“I am coming on here to retract my prior negative review. The owner of the restaurant took the time out of her day to email me and made everything ok. 5 Stars for Class!! Thank you.”

“The food was very good and can't go wrong with any of the dishes. They also make very tasty drinks, as someone that likes to enjoy their drink flavor, they still keep a good alcohol content while preserving the flavors of the drink. I really like the look of the place and the music vibes”

“For me, pho isn't just a meal; it is the ultimate comfort food. And I eat quite frequently, if not weekly, maybe every 2 weeks. I will gladly eat it in the dead of summer, as long as the restaurant’s AC is pumping, and my recent visit to this local gem is making me want to come back again the next time I’m driving by this area.
Large bowl for $19, this massive bowl is worth every single penny. The portion was huge, but it's the quality that truly seals the deal. The broth is liquid gold. It hit that flawless balance with just a very slight hint of sweetness underlying the deeply savory, long-simmered beef base. It was clean and complex; the sip of this broth takes you to heaven. The meat, meatballs, tripe, and tendon were tender and added that authentic bite. The fresh spring rolls were just as good, although it kinda made me half full prior to the bowl; I still managed to eat 75% of the bowl. Yeah, it was that good!
Service was friendly, the restaurant was comfy and clean, and the AC was wonderful. So, even if it’s 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside, you can still enjoy a bowl of pho.”

“Love it love the atmosphere love the music and food and drink ! Perfect !”

“Great food, and service. The quality of the food and restaurant under the new management has been a huge improvement from the past. This is my new go to restaurant when it comes to ordering out. 10/10”

“Great restaurant! We were used to getting takeout from the previous Chinese restaurant at this same address, and were surprised to see an emphasis on dining in this time around! The large tables (seating 9-10 people) look like a great option for when family comes to town. The staff are extremely friendly and the food was delicious!”

“Perfect place to get a healthy but fun and delicious drink. My favorites are the teas but there are also protein shakes and protein coffee on the menu. Staff are very willing to customize the any of the orders too. Cafe space is small but very clean and bright. Great place to sit for a while.”

“Got the regular and bbq sandwich and both were delicious! The meat for the bbq was very flavorful. Also got a milk tea it was delicious and everything was priced so well. Definitely will be my go to now whenever in Lowell~”
