Restaurants in Melrose

“This was our first time visiting The Bangkok and it will NOT be our last! We decided to be complete fat@$$es — I mean adventurous — and delved into the small plates. If you are a person of small appetite, 1-2 small plates is enough for you (we did not stop there!). For apps/small plates, we shared the veggie crispy rolls and curry roti (fried scallion pancake). The rolls were perfectly crisp without being oily with a healthy side of pickled carrots and radish over lettuce and sweet/sour dipping sauce. The roti was served hot and crispy with a soft lemongrass soup sauce. Amazing! My carnivorous spouse added a small plate of ribs, too; she describes the ribs as “good.” In more elaborate details the curry on top tasted of a savory scallion and red beans that fit nicely with the meat of the ribs that fell from the bones (may the poor cow’s soul rest in peace).Moving onto entrees, I have a habit of testing Thai restaurants with tofu red curry. This was a healthy portion — too much to handle in one sitting — was a New England American (white people) spicy 5:10 after asking for extra spicy, luckily there was chili oil on the tables for additional spice. Anyway, the curry was creamy, not watery and had a beautiful mix of beans, red peppers, bamboo, tofu, pea pods, and chunks of eggplant, plus a side of rice. I would definitely get it again!Partner in murdering Thai food today got khao soi noodle dish that had a light yellow curry spicy (caliente) sauce with noodles, scallion, greens, herbs, vegetables, and a whole freaking chicken leg grass in a lemon grass coconut sauce, which I’m told tasted amazing. Again, God rest that chicken soul. We finished off fat@$$fest with the mango sticky rice. Well, the taste was impeccable with the just perfectly ripen mangoes, I would suggest just slightly more coconut sauce, but keep in mind I am an Asian American, not an Asian Asian.The service was wonderful and each of the people serving us was on top of our table without being overbearing. And the best part was for all of that we spent around $66 without tip. I highly recommend if you are in the Melrose area and really looking for some authentic, delicious Thai food.”

“My first time at Bobby C’s and it was delightful. I’ve been living around the corner for a while but I never checked Bobby C’s before and I regret it so badly. The mussels in white wine and garlic sauce was something unexplainable, calamari perfectly fried to keep the tenderness, chicken parmigiana and the stuffed chicken breast was unreal. All unbelievably delicious and flavorful. The drinks were a must, and the big surprise was the to go dessert we took home, we were LITERALLY OMG at every bite. I regret not ask our server’s but if you go there and see this sweet lady with gray short hair and a bright smile, she is the one. She said that the desserts were backed by her and she gave us some biscuits to our little baby pug. Bobby C’s is a gem and it’s been a very long since the last time I felt motivated to write a review but they deserve 10 stars for every second we spent there.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible”

“Raucous family environment. Quick service and seating and food. Delicious meal, shrimp enchiladas with side rice and beans and a Hispanic coleslaw. The rice needed more flavor, but the coleslaw and enchiladas were a marvel.Vegetarian options: Some options. Pescatarianism provides a lot of flexibility.”

“I have been going to this breakfast place since I was pregnant for the first time, 12 plus years ago! We love the food, we love the owners, and we love the servers! Now we are a family of four, and we will continue enjoying the great breakfast that this place offers.”

“Excellent budget aquarium. Highly recommended walking by and gawking at the lobster tank. If seafood is your thing, I hear it is delightful. Not really mine but their non seafood stuff is very nice and drinks are A+. Treat yourself.”

“What an absolute find this place was! A little hole-in-the-wall restaurant that's easy to miss. Extremely friendly service with unbeatable prices! Menu fairly limited, but they offer a good amount of specials and you can find pretty much anything you would at most breakfast places. Got a biscuit breakfast sandwich that was on special. Came with home fries and ordered a side of bacon as well. Food came out quick and everything was delicious. Staff seemed to know every customer there or that came in for takeout. I need to become a regular here and cannot wait to come back!”

“I am up dating my review from a 2 to a 4, not 5 because I am a hard graded. I have been in My Cafe several times now since my review. There is a new set of people in there and the service is way improved. I can for sure recommend Heather's Omelet or the breakfast burrito.”

“I was NOT expecting to be this impressed. Probably the best sushi I've had on this side of Boston. Big pieces, almost overflowing with filling. Shrimp tempura was just the right mix of sweet and crunchy. 100% will be coming ”

“I can not say enough how much I love Sushi Corner . There food is absolutely amazing. I have tried a number of things there and its always delicious and fresh! The individuals that work there are so nice and so helpful on recommendations. The tall man that works the front, love him! He is so extremely nice. I highly recommend this place if you want delicious, fresh, amazing food.”

“Best Neapolitan style pizza I have found in Boston area. I enjoyed sitting at the bar watching the 900 degree pizza oven turn out a stream of perfect pies. If you like Neapolitan pizza, I highly recommend. Casual atmosphere. Service was on point.”

“SOooo much better than chipotle! Everything super flavorful & great portion sizes!! Today was my first time trying them, I’m from the south so we don’t have this particular brand at home. So glad I did try them, will definitely be my new go to! Service was super fast too.”

“There are many casual pizza places in melrose, but mother's pizza by far is the best. It's something about the crust that makes me keep coming back. They're not on any delivery apps yet, but you can order online or call ahead. The service is quick, they are family run. I've tried their cheese, buffalo chicken, garlic bread and Margherita. The Margherita is not your traditional type but still tastes great!”

“Had a fantastic roast beef sandwich at Liberty Bell. The meat was cooked perfectly and seasoned well, served with all fresh ingrediants that made this sandwich exceptional. I had a plate which included fries and onion rings- definitely some of the best onion rings I've ever had! The coating stuck despite several dunks in ketchup. Mozzarella sticks were really great too. Nice folks behind the counter and a very clean spot to eat. We'd return for sure ??”

“Very nice decor. Seated on time. Staff were all very pleasant and accommodating. Very busy. Wife and I imbibed in various tapas - most everything was fantastic. The only exception was the Tortilla Espanola - just was not our thing.”

“The only complaint I have is that we sat directly across from the back door so every time someone came in, our party of 6 would get the draft. Most of us dined with our coats on because of that. Everything else was great.”
