Restaurants in Medford

“Food is good. Parking is awful. when you get your bill u get a chargé for the kitchen.”

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.”

“We visited with ~20 friends this past Friday. They handled our group like champs. Food, service and drinks were all fantastic and expedited so quickly. I cannot sing their praises enough. Best nachos I’ve ever had.”

“Being 100% Italian also the food was amazing! They started us off with real EVOO to dip Our bread in with salt & pepper you can tell the EVOO was straight from Italy. I started with the arancini special which was sausage and saffron sitting in a white creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. Then it was a toss up on my pasta dish between lobster raviolis and wild mushroom pappardelle I went with the lobster raviolis in a pink sauce. I never finish my food and I ate ever single ravioli. The portion was good enough for me and the proper way to eat a pasta dish so you don’t have left overs or waste. The pink sauce was creamy and delicious (I even dipped my bread in it at the end). Then I went straight for the dessert and ordered affogato (gelato with espresso) wow amazing not too sweet and not too bitter from the espresso perfect blend. Then my friend and I still were not ready to leave so I ordered a espresso martini and again amazing only advice I would give them is shake the martini more to make it foamy And that was my first experience at Gusto’s I give it a 10/10 Oh and the pizza looked really good that will be my next outing.”

“DELICIOUS food & wine, good service”

“Outstanding menu that changes seasonally and with specials. Service is superb! Especially Christina. We love to visit and eat here with goid friends. Never a bad meal. A plus! 10 stars! All quality food! Worth every penny. Love pans cota too!”

“This place is amazing! From the flavor to the large selection and quality of food is amazing! No hotpot today which is fine, but the food is delicious nonetheless.”

“One of my favorite local Italian restaurants! Their homemade pasta is delicious. Their service is fast and their portions are gigantic!”

“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.”

“Yoki in Medford is the best Sushi by far Staff is totally awesome and the place is so so clean and their sushi chefs are spot on service is exceptional and very friendly ownership cares about about your dining experience cant miss place you will not be disappointed go and enjoy. we have been a customer for years and love everyone there DiNonna Inc Joe & Rosemary”

“MBC is a great place to hang with different selections of well crafted brews ! Fun, layback atmosphere . The staff is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!”

“Deep Cuts is a great little spot to eat and catch a show. The food is good, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The live space is small and intimate. There’s even a selection of vinyl records available for sale in the taproom!!!! I highly recommend it.”

“Great place, awesome food and very friendly workers.”

“Because the majority of their food, dressings, sauces, etc are made in-house and taste incredible. You pay a little more for some of their items but it is definitely worth every penny. And the portion sizes are great too. Their menu takes u from soups, wraps, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, salads and hot dishes. The staff are extremely helpful in tweaking an item to fit your needs. James Beard award I’m sure will be coming soon.”

“My friend and I have been to the lounge side and are always treated well by Lucy, who we have seen on a couple of Wednesdays after work. The service is always right on and the food is good too. ! Ro”

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!”

“Recently had lunch here for the first time and it was soooooo good. Delicious food, warm ambience and really nice staff.”

“Wonderful food. Had a nice lunch with a close girlfriend. Our waitress was fantastic. Can't wait to go back again. Better than the NorthEnd.”

“I don't go to bars much these days but came here for a live music event, the Nirvana tribute band and this place is awesome. The place LOOKS amazing, they had sports playing on a bunch of tvs the food was PHENOMENAL, you order and they text you when it's ready that was pretty wild to me, and the best part of all the amazing staff that was so friendly to me and my family members. Would highly recommend, the concert was AWESOME and would definitely come here again. Really memorable night. THANK YOU”

“First time there, was on a whim due to a Google search for burgers. Snappy Patty’s did not disappoint!! The cheeseburgers, tots, and beignets were on point!! Delicious, well cooked, and well seasoned!!! I’m from the south and this is the FIRST place I have ever recommended for burgers. The decor is phenomenal!! The colors and pics on the wall.. you have to see it!! Everything from Sesame Street, Star Wars, to classic rockers are present on the walls!! The music is the perfect level!! You can talk and have as conversation, but still have background music. Something I have found is not always the case. The staff is unbelievable. I felt like I was a regular that had been going for years! The communication with ordering to hid the staff works senselessly together is an added bonus to this experience. Yes, experience.. when all your senses are activated.. a restaurant/bar isn’t just a place for food and drinks. It’s a place that comes to life. Check it out when you can and tell me if you don’t feel the same!! I already know I’ll be back. Enjoy!!”

“Nijiya is THE BEST!!!!!!!!! The food is excellent all around - all the rolls are super delicious! Service is fast and food comes out almost immediately. All the staff are very nice and very attentive. Value is unbeatable.”

“Door Dash delivers to the city (hot, cold, or frozen), which is a dangerous thing to have discovered! The pies are packed with big chunks of very good white meat chicken, so they’re more filling than most. They’re also not too salty. The portions are really solid, too. A pie that says it’s 6 servings fed us exactly 6 servings. They were wonderful when I called about a food allergy, too.”

“This has been my favorite Chinese restaurant for a decade. It’s convenient, fast, and immaculate. The sushi is made right in front of you and has always been fresh and delicious. I’ve gone there on date night and I’ve had office parties there and it’s always been awesome. As good as the food is, the staff is better. Especially Tiffany who does everything here including cooking, taking orders, bartending, and making everyone feel like their family. The first time I went there she waited on our table. 6 months later I came back for the second time. She it only remembered my name, she also remembered every dish we’d ordered the first time. I wish I could give Tiffany and Sei Bar 10 stars.”

“Friendly atmosphere, fair price and delicious Portuguese food.”

“Awesome food! Will be back again for sure.”

“Great place! Clean rooms.... beautiful everything. The only thing that could improve this place is a sign that tells people that they NEED to check in to the front desk in order to operate the elevators! 😂❤️”

“Took my 9 year old son here today for lunch When we were done, he said “Daddy, this is the best pizza I’ve ever had!” My 9 year old is a major pizza snob”

“We love the quiche at Colette's!”

“The patties are wonderfully spiced & flakey. can't wait to try sweet the pastries!”

“If you are looking for outstanding authentic Egyptian food please try Kushari. The food made to order is consistently delicious and service is over the top. Plenty of free parking is another bonus!”

“This is a wonderful place. All the people are so nice and friendly. We are regulars there and most of the employees know our special order. Can’t say enough about the owner. Do yourself a favor and go for food and/or ice cream!”

“I live in Bar Harbor, Maine, and one of my guests staying with us offered me a homemade bagel from this establishment. It's one of the best poppy seed bagels I've had in a long time, and the homemade chive cream cheese pairs so perfectly with the smoked salmon. It made my day eating this bagel after work. I love lox. It's one of the sweetest gifts a guest has ever given me. 💕 When I travel the coast looking at lighthouses this winter, this bagel shop will definitely be on my places to stop. Alan is a great supporter and saleman! I'm happy to have met him and have him as one of my guests. Great memory, I'll keep with me. Thanks Alan 😊😊”

“Great food and even better service. I wish I could remember the cashier’s name, maybe Earl. He was amazing and had everyone engaged and dialoguing. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it in a fast food environment.”

“Such a sweet new find! Everything was delicious and reminded me of my time in Thailand! We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!”

“the best mexican food”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The SunSplash Açaí Bowl is easily one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had. The combination of mango, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi, and coconut creates a fresh tropical flavor that tastes like summer in every bite. The granola adds the perfect crunch, while the honey and passion fruit mousse give it just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portion was generous, and the presentation was beautiful. It’s refreshing, filling, and a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or a healthy treat. I’ll definitely be ordering it again!”

“Omg that Chickanella sandwich was the best thing I’ve had! The cutlet,the sauce the bacon delish every bite!”

“I’m coming From Gloucester MA. Bella makes best raviolis everyone is always happy and smiling and eager to serve . Best raviolis I have ever eaten. My family and I love them. Thank you Bella beautiful to observe family togetherness. God’s Blessings, Roseann”

“Good packing space and good drinks !!”

“4 stars bc I love the service and that matters a lot. I got the Frankie’s and it was decent, I just don’t like the quality of the steak. I don’t like their signature bbq sauce bc it’s flavorless and has nothing bbq about it. I might just want to go here for a plain bacon egg and cheese sandwich in the future. Cool looking place just and creative menu just not cheffing it up.”

“I recently stopped by Nick’s House of Pizza and it was easily one of the best local pizza spots I’ve been to. The food is amazing — the pizza is fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The crust has that perfect balance of crispy and soft, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Everything tastes homemade and made with care.

What really makes the place stand out, though, is the owner. He is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he truly cares about his customers and the quality of the food he serves. He takes the time to talk with people, remember regulars, and make everyone feel appreciated when they walk in. It gives the restaurant a really warm, community feel that you don’t get at big chain places.

Between the great food, generous portions, and outstanding service, Nick’s House of Pizza is definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. If you’re looking for delicious pizza and a place where the owner genuinely cares about the customers, this is the place to go.”

“This is hands down the best Italian deli I’ve ever been to! The chicken cutlets were to DIE for. The two subs were absolutely amazing. Customer service was top notch. I live 40 minutes away and will be making this a monthly stop for sure. The premade meals section was drool worthy! And the BREAD…. I could have ate three loafs alone. I never make reviews really but this place deserves it!!!!! Don’t walk…. RUN!”

“CLASSIC CAFE OFFERS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST/LUNCH AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. THE CAFE HAS A WARM, NEIGHBORHOOD ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING.”

“If you're looking for the most delicious breakfast sandwich that you've ever had in the world ??? come here!!!!??????
I had bacon,egg and cheese and sausage egg and cheese!!!! Delectimo!!!!???????

Note; Hours 4 am- 12pm m-f - 4am- 1pm ss”

“My favorite store, drink delicious 😋”

“Every thing made is fresh and delicious and so many things to choose cookie pastry pies cup cakes beautiful cakes and so many more just visit the bakery and see for yourself self and thank you too the baker JERRY Robert the owner and the girls that decorate 👍”

“Very gorgeous cafe.

My snickerdoodle ice coffee was made with love to perfection.
Dunkin who?
Starbucks who?
Pavement what?
Honey dew who?
They could never.
Thank you for great service and amazing pastries and coffee.”

“I love this place very friendly staff”

“great service and food at reasonable prices”

“The Sacher chocolate cakes made for our order were truly outstanding. Rich, elegant, and beautifully balanced, they were among the best chocolate cakes we have ever had! The texture, flavor, and presentation were all exceptional, and our guests could not stop talking about them.
A wonderful combination of craftsmanship and quality—I would order from them again without hesitation.”

“I was searching Google for a custom pull apart cupcake cake and found Frostin in Boston. Liza was quick to respond to my email and right away we found the perfect design for my daughter’s birthday. She offered pick up in Medford and also delivery to your house! If you have allergies she offers, gluten-free, vegan and nut-free cakes!”

“great food friendly atmosphere anall the staff are top notch”

“There is a fabulous vibe in the space. Yummy egg scramble and avocado toast. Smooth cold brew coffee.”

“Crumbl is amazing their cookies are so good especially their rotation every week with new cookies and their cookies that stay is amazing one of the popular ones pink sugar with almond extract! Their customer service is top notch especially with pickup orders”

“i’ve eaten here at least 50 times while living in medford.”

“One of the best pizzas I've had. After work, my boss and I decided to enjoy a cheese. The sauce is amazing. They put the perfect amount of cheese and the dough is light and thin. I'd definitely take a trip to medford to visit this spot again.”

“First time visiting and we ordered the Bun Ga Nuong combo. It came with two pieces of shrimp and a very generous portion of grilled meat—so much that I was able to enjoy it over two meals.

This was a takeaway order, and unfortunately I only realized after sitting down to eat that the bag was missing the spring rolls that are supposed to come with the combo. On top of that, one of us has a severe peanut allergy, and the dish had peanuts scattered throughout, making it unsafe to eat.

I called the restaurant right away. The owner immediately apologized, acknowledged they had forgotten the spring rolls, and offered to remake the dish without peanuts. She also told me to keep the original order, which I appreciated.

When I returned, they apologized again and gave me a freshly prepared replacement along with three spring rolls. While it was inconvenient to make the extra trip, I was grateful for how they handled the situation.

In hindsight, I would usually check about nuts, but I didn’t recall seeing it mentioned on the menu. Typically, peanuts are served on the side to prevent them from getting soggy, so this caught me off guard.

Overall, great portion sizes and solid customer service recovery.

Also ordered a banh-mi for one for the road - big and yummy!”

“Awesome Food! We love chicken parm and pizza!”

“Absolutely delicious and super friendly and fast service! Got the birria tacos and would definitely recommend and go here again! My friends loved it as well!”

“My favorite pizza place and my parents. Have been eating here for over 25 years. First place I eat when on my visits to Medford from Canada . Just good old fashioned PIZZA , I just Love it”

“The steak and cheese sub is AMAZING!! THE PIZZA IS AWESOME❤️❤️Highly recommend!!”

“Food is AMAZING!! Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Kreole Chicken delicious 👩‍🍳❤️”

“Will never go there just by reading reviews how they treat customers with disrespect, that behavior is not tolerate in Little Italy NYC Mulberry Street stop by Cafe Palermo if you in New York”

“Excellent food!!!! Friendly and wonderful staff!!! A++++ we LOVE everything about PINIS Pizza!”

“Authentic Sichuan food, such a rare find! We ordered 酸菜鱼pickled vegetables and fish stew, 猪肉碎米牙菜pork belly with preserved vegetables, and wonton. All delicious- nothing is too spicy or salty, just the right flavor.
The service was excellent too. We came for an early dinner, so no wait. There was a water pitcher on the table for self serve, the one waitress serving the whole restaurant at the time was knowledgeable, efficient, and responsive when in need. After we ordered we were left alone to chat, there was no awkward interruptions like in other places, and that was perfect.
Love the place, would highly recommend.”

“I absolutely love Liv! Once you try their peanut butter, you will love them too! My favorite is the Peanut Butter in a Cup. This is my go to place!”

“Carne Asada meat was more chewy than expected, but otherwise tasty. The rest of that meal beans, salad, rice were good. The scallops meals were great as well. Quick and efficient service was a bonus.”

“everything ist fine there”

“Great relaxing atmosphere,friendly excellent menu for lunches. Grate Varieties of cold and hot coffees and fruit smoothies.”

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!”

“A no frills stop with great breakfast sandwiches at affordable prices. Tons of traditional Brazilian baked goods. There's a limited seating area but I have always found a seat.”

“We were visiting from out-of-state, and wanted to verify if they carried Richie’s Slush. I messaged and they were very responsive and even told me where to find parking. We enjoyed some delicious slush today! Thank you, CB Scoops!”

“I bought your Raspberry Filled Chocolate Cupcakes for valentines Day. They were so fricken good, if I was getting married, I'd want it as a wedding cake!! Very very yummy =) Thank you so much!”

“I used to enjoy the juice at Kwench, but they closed down and I didn't realize the Bakery was still open because I thought it was all one business. Discovered their delicious spinach patties- so warm and a lil flaky and a Mauby drink 😋
They're very affordable! Friendly staff. The tall young guy knows me by face. It's located on Salem St in Medford across from The Original Ronny's pizza shop. FYI- They close early on Sundays. Give them a try, you'll love it!!”

“Everything Good.”

“Treat yourself a Trenta iced coffee either with 100 stars or on your birthday. You can add many items on it to make it a great happy drink 🤗👍🏻The staff here are nice and helpful 🫶🏻👍🏻”

“Friendly staff serve you over the counter with the brain food you need to study international diplomacy. Great place to chill and grab a coffee and a quick pre-made snack or a full lunch!

Mugar Cafe. A place to eat.”

“Wow! What a cool organization! I really enjoy the events!”

“I’m from Los Angeles and this ranked with some of the best Mexican food there.”

“For what it is, it's great. That is, a small counter serving institutional cafeteria food. The selection is small, but the hot-food bar almost always had something good. Vegetarian options are ample. And I love the space. Definitely a good place for a bite on campus.”

“Best chicken caesar wrap in the area, by FAR. And I've tried at least 10 other local places. The steak tip caesar is even better! Been getting them for the past 6 years since my first one. Really good homemade chips on the side too. If you pick up, don't forget to grab a couple pizza slices! Comes with a free can of soda.”

“I ordered Chapli Kabab and they were delicious! Perfect level of spice and dhaniya. The ambience of the place is not so great but food seems to be tasty and authentic. Will definitely try again if in the Medford area.”

“I went for happy hour. I had a mocha frappuccino. Excellent drink and service.”

“Well, I have resided in Medford Sq. area for over two years now. I have given my $$ to Wellington’s as their fare is good, until yesterday. Twice the pizza has so burned it was inedible & Twice scant toppings.”

“Ever since I ordered from here years ago, I have always loved this place. I got D19. Everything was hot and delicious. Chicken wings at other places have no taste, but here wow! Bug too. It's like two chicken wings. Everything is juicy and delicious, not dry. Big pieces of pork and veggies in the pork low menu. Extra soy sauce, duck sauce is free. Other places in the same area charge extra. When you walk in, the guy behind the counter is smiling and very friendly. I don't live close by, but the drive is worth it. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family!!”

“We have ordered from here at least 5-6 times and it’s always really, really good, tasted fresh, good sauce to ingredients rating, etc. I recommend them in the Medford area over any other spot we have tried.
My only criticism this last time is that their fried rice didn’t have a lot of veggies in it (only bean sprouts and onions). I like peas, carrots, etc in my rice. But otherwise, it is cooked well and the shrimp in the shrimp option are cooked well and very tasty.
Also, my cashew chicken had peanuts instead of cashews. Thankfully i like peanuts.”

“We were with friends and they were craving American-Chinese food. I was a tad worried but the food arrived hot and freshly made, seasoned well for our palates and was reasonably priced especially given the generous portions. Staff are kind and helpful. The moo shi pork arrived with the appropriate thin pancakes stacked and shingled in foil and rolled in a way that prevented them sticking together - perfect! The moo shi pork had the classic moo shi flavor and they are very generous with the protein. The egg foo young was not too greasy and was also tasty. I never tried this dish before and can see why it’s popular. Most of the appetizers are your classic fried not-really-Chinese bites and are done true to what one remembers and craves. We would join our friends again next time a craving strikes for classic American-Chinese food.”

“Luncheon plates are huge, couldn’t finish it, and I was hungry! Saw the specials board, and noticed one of my favorites, that I haven’t had in some time! Will return tomorrow for the Peking Duck! Also noticed they now have full bar, not just beer , and wine!”

“Friendly staff with excellent kitchen crew. Great family run place with great atmosphere. You are treated like family here.”

“We visited Ross-on-wye this weekend, while there we were recommended by a gentleman in a shop to try Avellenos. Wow ! so grateful we did. The food was totally amazing. Staff super friendly. Highly recommend.”

“I absolutely love the tortilla soup. I love that it's vegan! I always choose Qdoba over Chipotle because of the soup you serve. I hope it never gets discontinued!!”

“The waitresses are great. The chefs need to tighten up. Over all, I support my neighborhood businesses. But tighten up chefs! A few messed up experiences, but I'll always be back.”

“The workers there are always kind and cordial but the food quality is never consistent. My go to order is a wake up wrap and some mornings they are simply in edible. This morning my wake up wrap was smushed and the tortilla wrap had hardened so I could not close the wrap and it just crumbled all over my lap. It was also dripping with oil, I felt physically disgusted. I have held off on writing a review many times as this is the Dunkin's closest to my house but I would rather drive a little further now seeing as this is constantly an issue.”

“Unreal food! And the owners are amazing people!!!”

“awesome burgers 🍔and fries 🍟”
