“We live in Natick and love Buttercup. That's why we were disappointed with our most recent experience. We stopped by on our way home to have a drink at the bar. There was one or two open seats so we figured one of us would sit and eventually another seat would open up. Only we were stopped by the hostess who told us other people (standing near the host station) had been waiting for bar seats. We were confused because we didn't realize that you couldn't just stand near the bar and have a drink (since we had done this in the past) and also we didn't know that you could even reserve seats at the bar. A couple weeks later we were walking by again and saw that there were many open seats at the bar but my boyfriend and I looked at each other and said, let's skip it. We are still just not feeling great about our last experience.”
“The very best Indian meals we have ever had. South Indian prep is not what most people know. Try the Dosa Marsala and you will want to stay all evening and try the entire menu! Have directed many friends to this diamond and everyone shares our enthusiasm. An additional plus - very reasonably priced. Leave a big tip!”
“Highly recommend! The service was great, my order came wrong but they fixed and then some. It was super economical, friendly with great music. Super kid friendly a little loud if you have really little ones. I just can’t say enough good things about the staff.Parking: Very easy to park!Kid-friendliness: 100% staff knew to put the order in for the kiddo first so they would be eating happy.”
“Nick fantastic! We had a group in there that was working locally and needed separate checks for everything. He did it all with a smile on his face. Super fun to talk to what a great guy go visit Nick.!”
“I'm a huge mapo tofu enthusiast, and I must say, the mapo tofu here is truly exceptional! The robust Sichuan flavor is precisely what I was craving, and the generous portion size exceeded my expectations. The variety they offer is truly impressive! Will be back again for sure!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“The best homestyle food in a comfy small restaurant. So amazing when I’m in the mood for a quick homestyle breakfast, or a delicious panini or wrap off the lunch menu. The food is always freshly made and hot, although don’t expect the prices of cheap diner food. Still, I’ll pay for the quality and great experience every time. Would totally recommend the pancakes, paninis, and wraps.”
“This is my all time favorite restaurant for Chinese food I'll get it everytime. Never have been disappointed with their food. I recommend trying their salad it has this amazing dressing on top that can't be beat. I also believe that they have the best phad thai in my opinion compared to all others I have tried.”
“Great pizza. A bit of an error with my order. Quickly remedied with a response from Rocco, and his manager Bo. Both are a pleasure to deal with. So glad we found this place! ?”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Cozy little cafe serving shockingly good Mediterranean food. We are huge kebab + rice fans and boy this didn't disappoint. We are so used to lamb kebabs being too firm but this lamb was perfectly cooked - juicy and tender. The spices used on the meat + veggies in the combo dinner were scrumptious. You get these cute little roasted peppers mixed in with the rice, a delicious salad, and fresh made hummus. Everything was incredible. The combo meal fed us both for dinner and lunch the next day. Great for the price too! I can't wait to come back.”
“We came to this place last night and had chicken satay with peanut sauce, tum yum noodle soup and Bangkok fried rice. All 3 tasted amazing ?. I’ve had Thai food in the US in different places over the years and this place is surely one of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. However I wouldn’t suggest having it within the restaurant since it’s very small in area, location is kind of dingy, was a bit cold inside(even though there was room heater) and didn’t have any restroom. However, I would highly recommend having takeout at this place. I’ll come back again.”
“Love this place every time I am in Natick for business.... my lunch choice each time..... had the veal sub and pastrami subs this trip .... A+ food and great service.”
“My family and I LOVE Celicia’s. The food is made from scratch, fresh, and always 10/10. George has always taken great care of us and has introduced us to their amazing lentil soup made fresh in house and fresh baclava! It’s in an amazing location downtown and a great spot for a quick but fresh and delicious bite to eat among so many great local shops in Natick! Highly recommend as a Natick local!”

“Always something here to explore. Love the subs and dinners. And I always find great little gems that I either haven't seen in years or have never seen on the shelves that I like to try too. I love that it's within my walking distance in Natick center too. Great place to get lunch for sure! Try them if you havent had a chance yet. Recommend to all.”
“First experience with this company and I leave it so happy and full. Jimmy ordered the Doogy Burger, absolutely loved it. I got the Deluxe Doogy, and was floored with the amount of ingredients in it, everything played super well with everything else. Honestly the French Fries was hands down the best crispy Fries ever.”

“Amazing atmosphere! Old school dining car with a lot of history. The staff is attentive and kind. Family-owned and super small!The hot dog was absolutely fire. Great snap on the casing and the bun was light and fluffy. The steaming process makes a huge difference. Also got a cheeseburger, baked beans and a vanilla shake. All of it was delicious.”
“Giovanni’s takes the definition of amazing, phenomenal, out of this world- and tops it times 1,000,000. The Greek Salad Wrap with Chicken absolutely healed my heart, soul, and muscles with the amount of chicken, they did not skimp! But nothing on the menu would disappoint you. Literally… nothing. Brian is truly the epitome of what a business owner should be. Customer service is top notch. GO TO GIOVANNIS AND FIND YOUR NEW FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE!”

“Always a great time heading in for some Get Shorty Sandwiches! Beef ribs, Mac n cheese perfectly toasted bread with the spicy mayo and bbq sauce highly recommended! If you're feeling bold get a double to go.”
“Our regular go-to when we want authentic, quality sushi. Everything is always delicious! We usually get the 10 piece Oga's sushi, in addition to some additional rolls and some appetizers. The Agedashi Tofu is amazing, so simple, yet so flavorful!”
“So welcoming from the moment you walk in the door! The breakfast was delicious. I wish we lived closer and could be regulars here. They even gave the kids Halloween goodie bags, totally above and beyond with kindness!”
“I always pronounce this place as Ming'Aliens. Like space aliens. I would say their pizza is out of this world, hence the name. They have a decently priced ($12) large cheese pizza you can call in for. The fried ravioli is very good too. Also, sometimes they don't put enough sauce on their pizza. I always ask for "regular sauce" and that seems to get the point across.”
Online Reservation Available
“I love this place. It's really nicely set up inside and the food is solid. The staff is always helpful and outgoing. I love their beer and their Korean chicken wings are phenomenal. It's my go to place in the Natick area.”
“My visit to the Natick location was outstanding and my server David was super knowledgeable, accommodating and attentive, I would recommend this place 100% and ask for David.”
“Good, reliable takeout at a reasonable price. We've been ordering from Joy Luck for years: shrimp chow fun for lunch, spicy dishes for dinner. They never disappoint. Quick & tasty.”
“It would be better if ticket activation fee of $3 per ticket is removed or included in ticket cost or charge a flat fee per transaction instead or per card. paying $12 in activation fees for 4 cards if my opinion feels like trap. Return customers shouldn't have to pay activation fees every visit!”
“Great and tasty food with amazing quick service. The golden fried wontons a must try. Dipping them with the sweet sauce that comes with it makes the meal so complete. The general Gau's Chicken is tender and tasty. Sweet and spicy so delicious. The Vegetarian fried rice is to die for. I highly recommend the Mandarin Café.”
“f you want a good dining experience with great ambience and great food then this restaurant is for you. They have a wide selection of food and drinks and the service is top notch.”
“The interior looks identical to its now- closed Long Island restaurant, except that the sushi and hot food sections are reversed. The variety was definitely more limited than the NY location, lacking uni, salmon roe, and a myriad of other seafood that it used to have. On the bright side, however, the fish was super fresh and hot foods or salty.”
“We enjoyed our Valentine's Lunch. My salad was excellent, but the salmon was a little overcooked. My husband's Crab Mac & Cheese was great. It was even better the next day! It is nice to have booth seating but since I am only 5'2" I felt like my chin was almost level with my food. I will have to remember to sit in a chair next time. Some sort of divider between the booths would be nice. We had a group of 3 women next to us that were seated after us that were excited to be with each other and were louder than we liked.”
“A very cute brewery vibe with picnic tables for eating, drinking, sitting, soaking up the sun, etc. They also have big tents up so I'm sure they have fun events or receptions for larger crowds in the summer. You can walk through their orchard and go apple picking if you'd like. It's a quaint and clean walk so I recommend doing it at least once. You get pretty views and if you go around sunset there's different pockets of beaming sunlight which is a pretty sight to see. Definitely a classic summer/fall spot if you're looking to sip or munch on something while hanging out with some friends. I've had no issues with parking either. They've got a big lot on dirt/grass onsite so that's never a problem. Service can get somewhat messed up at times since you order from your phone and then waiters will come around dropping off food, but don't actually take your order. There only downside of that system is there's no real way of telling when your food will arrive, and a couple times I've come here, it'll be a scenario in which all our friends will order some version of the same thing at the same time and then 1 of us will not get our food until the time everyone's all done eating. Just a little inconsistent is all.”
“my guilty pleasure. nuff said.also, workers are always nice, they put a ton of stuff into your combo order. my go to: lo mein, thai blackened fish, mango chicken, curry”
“This is the best café I have ever been to I am never disappointed when I come here, I live about an hour and a half away and I come to Natick Mall just for this café I love it so much and my whole bank account will be going to this place. the besttt!!”
“I have since changed my review from one star to five, as I went back recently after hearing they revamped the place. 100 times better, the food is fantastic. It’s a breath of fresh air!”
“The host could be a tad bit friendlier, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they were rude. Servers are super friendly and take the dining experience to the next level.This was my first time going here after wanting to for such a long time. I'm glad I decided to finally try it out. I arrived at a decent time and there was not a wait or reservation needed, but its definitely recommended.Got seated and served some fresh bread and butter while waiting for our food. The mixed drinks are delicious. I had a peach bellini. For the main course I had shrimp and chicken gumbo. One of the best gumbos I've ever had.I was stuffed at the end of my meal, but obviously I ordered dessert. You can't go to the Cheesecake factory and not order cheesecake when its your first time. The selection of cheesecakes is huge. I got the Cinnabon cheesecake to go and it did not disappoint.Highly recommend and will definitely return.”
“Fast and friendly service, delicious pizza! We usually get either cheese or Pauli's pie but have never had a pie we didn't like.Wish they had more beers on tap.Garlic knots are VERY garlicky!Kid-friendliness: We brought our 11 month old son, and they had a high chair for him to use. It's a very family friendly place.”
“It's not the best cheesesteak I ever had but it definitely hit the spot! Especially considering that it is in a mall I will have to give it points for that. The workers are very nice and customer service was solid.”

Krua Thai
“I love this place. The food is amazing, especially love their natick wings, spring rolls and fried rice. They always so polite and pleasant on the phone. It is a little out of my way but, its work the extra 10 min drive for me.”
“Great food, fast service, and nice folks. Eaten there several times already, and it has quickly become a weeknight staple. Absolutely recommend--you won't wait long! Be aware, there is no bathroom inside (but the food is awesome!).Vegetarian options: Alots of veggie options. Almost anything can be made vegetarian. My wife is vegetarian, and LOVED the veggie tacos--lots of freshly grilled veggies, including mushrooms!Parking: Don't roll up with 10 SUVs, but I've never not found a spot in the small lot.”

“Really good tasting food and overflowing burritos. They have a lot of vegetarian (and vegan) options. Got the paneer tikka burrito, and it was really good. The chicken taco dorados (taquitos) are made to order and tasty. Service was great too. Will definitely be back to try more stuff. And it's nice to have a local alternative for burritos and burrito bowls.”
“I’ve stopped by this service plaza so many times and every time, I’ve received average customer service. Today, I instantly recognized an excellent customer service from your employee, named James. My first job was in food service so I pay attention to service quality. James was professional and courteous even though the customer interaction has to be quick because of the nature of the job. He took time to politely answer questions from customers who were clearly not familiar with Papa Gino’s/D’Angelo, nor this particular service plaza. He didn’t just hand over the orders to customers, he actually called them by their first names and each customer left with a positive message: “Have great day, Bernice!” If I could give James 10 stars, I would. Someone clearly trained him well to give a great first impression within seconds of taking my order.”
“Stepping into Charles River Coffee House is like wrapping yourself in the warmth of a community quilt. It's the kind of place where the coffee is always robust and the smiles are free and easy. Whether you're a local or just passing through, you'll be treated like family. The pastries are a flaky, buttery delight, and their sandwiches? Let's just say they've nailed the perfect bread-to-filling ratio. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a cozy haven in Wellesley, MA, where every cup of coffee feels like a personal gift from the barista to you. If you're around, don't miss the chance to make your day better with their signature blend and a side of local charm.”

“I wanted to share my review of a birthday cake ordered from MH; it was 10/10. I totally recommend it - I ordered a strawberry chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting!”
“I love this place. The food is amazing, especially love their natick wings, spring rolls and fried rice. They always so polite and pleasant on the phone. It is a little out of my way but, its work the extra 10 min drive for me.”
“Still love this sushi takeout place. Don't miss out on great mall sushi just because your parents think it's silly, team. Fast and friendly. Prices aren't stellar but it's a mall kiosk so that to be expected.”

“Yesterday was my first time going to Dates and Olives in Natick Center, and I can say I was truly blown away by the food and service. First and foremost you are greeted kindly when you come into the restaurant and the smell of delicious flavors comes over you. The ordering process is very simple, and everything is made fresh on the spot. I got the Chicken Shawarma with spicy hummus and I was IN LOVE. I inhaled the entire entree, the spicy hummus was the perfect amount of spice, the chicken was cooked and spiced to perfection and the veggies were fresh and bright. In addition, I had mentioned how much I liked the tabbouleh salad that my friend was having and a worker at the restaurant overhead me and brought me a little over for myself which was so kind. You can tell the people who work and own this location genuinely care about the customers. Most people who came in already knew the staff, and the staff knew them, their names, and often their orders! I have been dying to find an excellent, fresh and delicious Mediterranean restaurant in the Metrowest area FOREVER, but now that I have found Dates & Olives I can say I will absolutely be a repeat customer.. FOR LIFE!”
“Food is great. We had two pasta dishes ( Shrimp Fra Diavolo and chicken marsala). The portions were big so we had enough leftover for the next day too. Best part was dessert- choco chip cannolis”
“I've been a customer for a while now, but I've been tasting a different flavor, I had to meet the cook and man, what a loving person, I highly recommend Salpicão, especially wow, many congratulations to the whole team.I've been a customer for a while now, but I've been tasting a different flavor, I had to meet the cook and man, what a loving person, I highly recommend Salpicão, especially wow, many congratulations to the whole team.”

“Ordered pizza for my staff and they delivered on time to the store, and were so nice! The pizza was delicious, the staff loved it and will definitely be ordering from Bill’s again!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Dairy Queen is well, what it has always been. I had a mint Oreo Blizzard. Of course would go again. Line was short & service was quick. Price is like everything else now.”
“Was okay great service. I happen to like this Dunkin and the people thatci have encountered seem very nice. But I was here yesterday at approximately 2p.m. and the language was not what I would expect from people whom deal with the public. The person whom I assume is the shift supervisor or maybe not (short women with short hair dyes red) dropped the F bomb about 20 times over someone complaining that they had to get out of the car when they had curbside pick up. I left because I was sick of hearing her foul mouth. I went for coffee and something to eat not a lesson in learning how to use the F word I'm happy I didn't have the children I watch with me.”
“This is a very clean McDonald's and has these amazing tables that light up when you touch them! My son and I had a blast. There are also video games at other tables, and some children's books you can borrow while there.Kid-friendliness: So much stuff for kids! Books, video games, coloring pages, light up tables...”
“Normally quick service and when it’s not they take care of their customers! Super polite always! I really get discouraged going to a Starbucks but since there’s not that many good mom and pop places around it’s nice to get that same feel from this location. Even if it is a drive through!”
“the drive-thru is closed in the early morning but they should put the cones at the entrance to the drive-through otherwise you move up and then you have to back out especially when there's another car behind you for the thought there was a drive-thru open my coffee was not ready and I called ahead and it took about 3 or 4 minutes and they weren't busy simply to get me an iced coffee”
“Oh my goodness, it was better than several other locations I've been to. Normally "mall" locations don't seem to take as much care as a stand-alone, (lines, not enough help, young workers who are in experienced). But this location is well staffed, or at least they fake it we'll, there are lines, but they keep us moving, ended up getting 2 orders, one eat in, and one to go (just because they were THAT good). Both orders were hot, to my liking, and filled properly - not just (thrown together) like a taco with a little meat a few maters and stuff. They actually FILLED my crunchwrap and crunchy taco. I will DEFINITELY be returning sooner than later and will spread the word to my Dave and Buster friends.. lol. Eat THEN play.. ?Vegetarian options: You can ask them to make almost anything vegetarian.. just say "no meat, please".Parking: There are several large lots to park that include access to mall entrances.Wheelchair accessibility: It's in the food court which is wheelchair accessible from certain locations entering the mall.”
“This is a drive- theu and walk-in in the parking lot of a strip mall at Route nine and 27I stop in there pretty much every time I go to the stores there, and they're always super fast and efficient. I tried the maple donut the other day and I have to say it was pretty good. The bacon egg "taco" tasted like literally nothing”
“For me that was the best McDonald’s that I went for a long time. Everything was clean, employees were super polite, my sandwich was with the bun aligned, cheese in different directions, right amount of condiments, nice beef temperature, super fast. Congratulations for all the staff and the owner of this place.”
“We just happened to be there in Natick waiting for our car to be serviced. Since I came straight from work I googled and just walked in there. We were expecting a sit down place but were pleasantly surprised to meet Renee. I picked up vegetarian food and a couple of soups.Everything was awesome . It was our first time but definitely not the last!!!”
“This place is as good as the original. If you are going for breakfast, they don't open until 9 am. I was meeting someone there and both of us assumed a restaurant that served breakfast would open earlier! Oh well...should have checked their hours.”

The Pantry
“First time ever coming to this coffee shop found it on google as I’m not from the area but just started working in the area. The coffee is very fresh the breakfast sand-which was light & tasty. The environment is homey and modern loved the decor and so many fresh yummy pastries that I wanted to try but will try next time. I will definitely be back. 10/10 the two lady’s at the front are also very welcoming.”
Cheap Eats
“SweetWaters might be a 5 Star but my first stop in I only got the Cappuccino and Pastry. The cappuccino was made much much better than any “Dunkin’s” makes them, right composition, persistent foam, pleasing flavor, including “barista design”on top, unusual for local neighborhood coffee shops (this place is a cut above “normal”, I’ll go back for “next level” coffee and see how they do. (Mocha cappuccino, then later their cold brew).Spacious classy interior, great for remote work or business meetings over coffee etc, I imagine ok for “coffee tea pastry dates”.My compliments to the Server, “Chris”.Parking: Metered parking in front. Idk if there’s other parking or lot nearby.”
“To go bubble tea when I'm at the Natick Mall! My favorite is the passion fruit green tea with the mango and lychee jelly! There is usually a line so I recommend ordering on the app.”
“Service was outstanding. I noticed one of the employees cleaning the soda machine before the dinner rush came. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the restaurant.Vegetarian options: You're really just limited to fries and peanuts. They also have a grilled cheese, but I believe it's cooked on the same grill as the burgers”
“I like this restaurant the food is always good but it's just a probably mostly takeout restaurant so they're not investing a lot in atmosphereParking: It's just on the street and sometimes Natick offers free parking on the street that usually it's paid metersWheelchair accessibility: I didn't see a wheelchair access entrance it's about four steps up to get in but I expect there's an entrance somewhere”
“Lolas has an authentic taste to its food, the portions are large, and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend stopping into Lola's if you're in the area. The people behind the counter are extremely friendly and welcoming, while I waited in line I was given a free cannoli! The pictures on the wall give you that family feel that not many other places give you - a touch of their family history. Between the take home dinners and subs, i can't get enough of Lolas.”
“Really the BEST greek style pizza in the area. No question. Go ahead and order a chicken stir fry pizza and you will see how legit AF it is. The customer service and owners are awesome ”
“The atmosphere is quite nice the restaurant is very clean the food is excellent I'm a staff do an amazing job you have to be patient that's because of their ”
“This is def a town favorite! I always see people outside the main store or just relaxing inside, they have an array of options and custome combos that you can ask for, they even offer stuff to buy to own merch”
“Sravani is wonderful at her job! She gives great customer service each time I visit this location. She is hard working and listens very well. She is kind and pleasant. Thank you, Sravani. For your excellent service!”
“Never keep the dishwasher in view of the public.The pizza at S'barro (sbarro?) is good. The branding has gone away, which takes away from the atmosphere, but that's mall policy I guess.Edit: Anytime, robot!”
“I love their veggie subs, they are the same every time which I can appreciate. However, I hate that you can't request dressing on the side for salads. On doordash it says this location has turned off special requests. So of course my salad came with the dressing right on it, and I was hoping to save for lunch the next day.”
“This food is amazing I've gone here several times and it's always delicious. Everything I've had so far cheese pizza, feta cheese pizza, steak, green peppers and extra cheese all delicious. The wings are really good too. You want something delicious to eat stop in. You won't regret it.”
“I just came here to get a carmel ribbon crunch frappeicino and aneasa was great u can tell she knows what she is doing she took her time and also the cashier was very nice. This was the first time being asked if I wanted it coffee based or ”
“Walked into this Dunkin’ Natick today. Ordered a medium iced coffee with a twist bagel w/ butter, coffee was perfect to the taste. Customer service was fantastic. Also loved the fresh donuts. The best Dunkin’ in this area and clean establishment.Must visit.”
“I saw the owners review letting everyone know they were under new management. I almost did not order because of the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised!!! I loved the pizza, had a little too much herbs on some slices but REALLY good still! Reasonable pricing, I'd order again! 10/10”
“Great and tasty food with amazing quick service. The golden fried wontons a must try. Dipping them with the sweet sauce that comes with it makes the meal so complete. The general Gau's Chicken is tender and tasty. Sweet and spicy so delicious. The Vegetarian fried rice is to die for. I highly recommend the Mandarin Café.”
“Overall everything I’ve had is good. One disappointment is that they put the fries on top of the steak tips in the meal so they are always soggy. Maybe they need to wrap the fries separately from the meat.”
“The interior looks identical to its now- closed Long Island restaurant, except that the sushi and hot food sections are reversed. The variety was definitely more limited than the NY location, lacking uni, salmon roe, and a myriad of other seafood that it used to have. On the bright side, however, the fish was super fresh and hot foods or salty.”
“It was my first time here. Such a great experience! The restaurant was prepared for our large party. The service was excellent. Our food came out in a timely manner, and more importantly, everything was hot and fresh. My beef bibimbop in the hot stone bowl was yummy, fresh, and tender. Highly recommend. We'll be back to try other dishes for sure.”

“The service was very good, the people who serve the tables are very friendly and so is the bartender. Daisies are delicious and have many varieties. Good price for the service.”
“I have since changed my review from one star to five, as I went back recently after hearing they revamped the place. 100 times better, the food is fantastic. It’s a breath of fresh air!”
“The host could be a tad bit friendlier, but I wouldn't go so far as to say they were rude. Servers are super friendly and take the dining experience to the next level.This was my first time going here after wanting to for such a long time. I'm glad I decided to finally try it out. I arrived at a decent time and there was not a wait or reservation needed, but its definitely recommended.Got seated and served some fresh bread and butter while waiting for our food. The mixed drinks are delicious. I had a peach bellini. For the main course I had shrimp and chicken gumbo. One of the best gumbos I've ever had.I was stuffed at the end of my meal, but obviously I ordered dessert. You can't go to the Cheesecake factory and not order cheesecake when its your first time. The selection of cheesecakes is huge. I got the Cinnabon cheesecake to go and it did not disappoint.Highly recommend and will definitely return.”
“It's not the best cheesesteak I ever had but it definitely hit the spot! Especially considering that it is in a mall I will have to give it points for that. The workers are very nice and customer service was solid.”

“The very best Indian meals we have ever had. South Indian prep is not what most people know. Try the Dosa Marsala and you will want to stay all evening and try the entire menu! Have directed many friends to this diamond and everyone shares our enthusiasm. An additional plus - very reasonably priced. Leave a big tip!”
“I have been here twice with my boyfriend and the servers are always the nicest and most personable people. They always want to talk, share cool knowledge about their beers, and just make friendly conversation. This is especially lovely as we are both typically shy people, but always feel welcomed here. We love coming back here!The food is always great and my boyfriend cannot get enough of the pizzas!Sometimes it does stink that the tables are a little close together , but other than that everything has been so perfect for us!”

“Love this place every time I am in Natick for business.... my lunch choice each time..... had the veal sub and pastrami subs this trip .... A+ food and great service.”
“First experience with this company and I leave it so happy and full. Jimmy ordered the Doogy Burger, absolutely loved it. I got the Deluxe Doogy, and was floored with the amount of ingredients in it, everything played super well with everything else. Honestly the French Fries was hands down the best crispy Fries ever.”
“I saw the owners review letting everyone know they were under new management. I almost did not order because of the reviews. I was pleasantly surprised!!! I loved the pizza, had a little too much herbs on some slices but REALLY good still! Reasonable pricing, I'd order again! 10/10”
“I love this place. It's really nicely set up inside and the food is solid. The staff is always helpful and outgoing. I love their beer and their Korean chicken wings are phenomenal. It's my go to place in the Natick area.”
“Had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant! The delicious pizza and delightful sangria were highlights of the meal. Although the chicken dumplings were okay, the standout items were the yummy lemonade and the always delicious complimentary bread. The amazing ambience added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. Overall, a satisfying dining experience with tasty options, pleasant beverages, and a fantastic atmosphere. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious food and a great ambiance!”
“Cozy little cafe serving shockingly good Mediterranean food. We are huge kebab + rice fans and boy this didn't disappoint. We are so used to lamb kebabs being too firm but this lamb was perfectly cooked - juicy and tender. The spices used on the meat + veggies in the combo dinner were scrumptious. You get these cute little roasted peppers mixed in with the rice, a delicious salad, and fresh made hummus. Everything was incredible. The combo meal fed us both for dinner and lunch the next day. Great for the price too! I can't wait to come back.”
“This is the best café I have ever been to I am never disappointed when I come here, I live about an hour and a half away and I come to Natick Mall just for this café I love it so much and my whole bank account will be going to this place. the besttt!!”
“It would be better if ticket activation fee of $3 per ticket is removed or included in ticket cost or charge a flat fee per transaction instead or per card. paying $12 in activation fees for 4 cards if my opinion feels like trap. Return customers shouldn't have to pay activation fees every visit!”
“This is a drive- theu and walk-in in the parking lot of a strip mall at Route nine and 27I stop in there pretty much every time I go to the stores there, and they're always super fast and efficient. I tried the maple donut the other day and I have to say it was pretty good. The bacon egg "taco" tasted like literally nothing”
“Always something here to explore. Love the subs and dinners. And I always find great little gems that I either haven't seen in years or have never seen on the shelves that I like to try too. I love that it's within my walking distance in Natick center too. Great place to get lunch for sure! Try them if you havent had a chance yet. Recommend to all.”
“For me that was the best McDonald’s that I went for a long time. Everything was clean, employees were super polite, my sandwich was with the bun aligned, cheese in different directions, right amount of condiments, nice beef temperature, super fast. Congratulations for all the staff and the owner of this place.”
“Yesterday was my first time going to Dates and Olives in Natick Center, and I can say I was truly blown away by the food and service. First and foremost you are greeted kindly when you come into the restaurant and the smell of delicious flavors comes over you. The ordering process is very simple, and everything is made fresh on the spot. I got the Chicken Shawarma with spicy hummus and I was IN LOVE. I inhaled the entire entree, the spicy hummus was the perfect amount of spice, the chicken was cooked and spiced to perfection and the veggies were fresh and bright. In addition, I had mentioned how much I liked the tabbouleh salad that my friend was having and a worker at the restaurant overhead me and brought me a little over for myself which was so kind. You can tell the people who work and own this location genuinely care about the customers. Most people who came in already knew the staff, and the staff knew them, their names, and often their orders! I have been dying to find an excellent, fresh and delicious Mediterranean restaurant in the Metrowest area FOREVER, but now that I have found Dates & Olives I can say I will absolutely be a repeat customer.. FOR LIFE!”
“Normally quick service and when it’s not they take care of their customers! Super polite always! I really get discouraged going to a Starbucks but since there’s not that many good mom and pop places around it’s nice to get that same feel from this location. Even if it is a drive through!”
“my guilty pleasure. nuff said.also, workers are always nice, they put a ton of stuff into your combo order. my go to: lo mein, thai blackened fish, mango chicken, curry”
“Amazing atmosphere! Old school dining car with a lot of history. The staff is attentive and kind. Family-owned and super small!The hot dog was absolutely fire. Great snap on the casing and the bun was light and fluffy. The steaming process makes a huge difference. Also got a cheeseburger, baked beans and a vanilla shake. All of it was delicious.”
“We came to this place last night and had chicken satay with peanut sauce, tum yum noodle soup and Bangkok fried rice. All 3 tasted amazing ?. I’ve had Thai food in the US in different places over the years and this place is surely one of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. However I wouldn’t suggest having it within the restaurant since it’s very small in area, location is kind of dingy, was a bit cold inside(even though there was room heater) and didn’t have any restroom. However, I would highly recommend having takeout at this place. I’ll come back again.”
