Restaurants in New Bedford

“I’m pleasantly surprised. I worked a bit in a well known, closed down bakery so I expected a similar experience, but this place topped it! I was in a long line, much like the place I worked at would often have, but I waited minimal time, and even better, I didn’t witness any mistakes being made. No one came back to complain about a missing item or something wrong with their item. The girls at the counter were friendly. I could see the entire team not stopping, constantly working, even someone in the back I can see constantly busy. The customers seemed genuinely happy to be there, all friendly. I went to my car and had one of the most fresh tasting linguica and cheese rolls! It was wrapped well, not just thrown in a bag. While I waited for my husband to go in and get his order, I saw more and more customers walking in. It was nice to see. Such a little sign, but definitely a successful business. Will be back again! 😊”

I had recently read that they had an amazing clamboil, so I called a friend up who I know, knows most of the area and asked about it, she told me that they had great food. Well off we went for an early dinner. An OMG they were not lying when they said they had a great clamboil there kale soup was also amazing Lobster Roll on point . The staff was polite and friendly. well let's just say I will definitely be back and the deserve a 10 star review. thank you for a great experience and an amazing hospitality......Job well done”

“I found the menu limited and pricey but it was at fashion island and it was expected. I had the tagliatelle bolognese and my fiancé had the mushroom pizza. The pizza was large but had little if any cheese and my dinner was small and needed more sauce. Our friends had vegetarian plate and the Steele head salmon which he enjoyed. When we arrived home, I made popcorn because we were both still hungry. I still would recommend it but not be afraid to ask for more sauce up front”

“Very good ! Will go back !!”

“Crispy Fried Chicken (CFC) consistently provides the best customer service and food in the greater New Bedford area.

The food is always fresh and prepared in a timely manner.”

“This place has become my favorite restaurant in the last couple years. It has it all, great service, perfect environment, and honestly not a bad meal to be had. My family and I are there at least once a week and many time, I sneak there for a lunch, do not tell the family! Keep doing what your doing.”

“Absolutely the best food 🍱 always !”

“Loved my vegitarian fajita and great portion size. My friend liked his taco. Taco is a smaller portion than we expected. Good service and a nice place. First visit and definitely will go back. Located in downtown New Bedford near other resturants and business. Near New Bedford ferry terminal.”

“Stopped by last weekend for drinks and apps. This place did not disappoint! Drinks and food are both great, lots of drink choices. The atmosphere is really cool but best of all is the bartenders/ servers, our favorite is Chelsea!! She is so friendly, outgoing and right on point, we didn't ever have to wait for drinks. Chelsea keeps a good eye on her customers and comes over just before your drink is empty offering a new one. The establishment is great, but Chelsea keeps us coming back!! Hope you never lose her🤞”

“My dream wedding came to life! I cannot begin to say enough about Merrill’s on the Waterfront! I chose this location for both my ceremony and reception, and it was the best decision I could have made. Victoria walked us through the entire process, patiently answering a million questions and even helping us coordinate a room block for our out-of-town guests. On the big day, Victoria and her team absolutely knocked it out of the park. She exceeded every expectation, bringing my vision to life and executing every detail perfectly. She was on top of everything all night! The wait staff was attentive and efficient, the bartenders were amazing, and the entire night went off without a hitch. Thank you, Merrill’s, for the dream wedding, and a huge thank you to Victoria for your phenomenal work!”

“We saw Creed Fisher at the vault. Good sound and up close and personal experience to watch the show!”

“Antonio's provided an exceptional Valentine's Day experience. The appetizers, especially the seafood cakes, were outstanding, prompting a second order. The tomahawk steak, creamy salmon, and short rib ragu pasta were equally impressive. The service was impeccable and the in-house desserts were a perfect ending. Highly recommended for any special occasion.”

“First time visit and it did not disappoint! Chips and salsa, enchiladas and gorditas were outstanding. Then comes the lime and passion fruit margaritas and it was a win! We will be back. ❤️”

“Excellent service, incredible food, and unique drinks. I don't visit often, but this is my choice for a great experience every time. The staff is friendly, casual, and on the ball when it comes to the customer. Phil is one of the best bartenders I've had the pleasure to meet. And I've been to a lot places in the world over the decades.”

“Thankful that our waitress was very familiar with the menu! I stepped out of my normal shell and decided to try the lobster ravioli - it was AMAZING!!!! Not too rich and the sauce was perfect! I'm not a huge fan of marinara sauce and that's why my hesitation but the creamy sauce was absolutely delightful! Thank you for the wonderful dinner for our large crowd! Staff were all super helpful and friendly!”

“Amazing atmosphere and great food!!!”

“I had high hopes for the sushi, and while it was fresh and tasty, I felt like the rolls were a bit smaller than I expected. Service was nice, though, and it had a relaxed vibe. I might give it another try on a different day.”

The vibe is warm, friendly, and genuine. I truly love it here and will keep coming back!”

“dropped in to try this place for breakfast. opted for the table 8 special 2 pancakes 2 bacon 2 sausage 2 eggs 2 toast homefries 11 bucks and well worth it. I'm kind of picky with breakfast potatoes and these were PERFECT crisp outside, soft inside and not overly seasoned or had a bunch of additional things in there. small on the inside and it was pretty busy but orders were filled quick and the staff were friendly and the place looked spotless. will absolutely return”

“Just a big shout out to Ms. Molly and the rest of the staff at Mikey B's tonight!!!! You know they say a closed mouth doesn't get fed... so I had a little situation with a delivery order last night and I stopped in today to bring it to their attention and they promptly and very courteously took care of the problem, apologized, and made me another full meal. I was very pleased with the quality and quantity of food When I reached home so thank you very much😙Just a note if you ever get a food order whether it be delivered or in house and it is not to your liking It is best to speak up than to give up and pass judgment, and possibly not go back there to eat again...because this could have just been a mere mistake...and I wasn't going to go back today... and I did and they made good on it... so that made my day. Thank you again for your hospitality!!!!!”

“i go to this wendys atleast once a week. as long as you are not going in the early morning or late at night it is usually good quality food. i usually get a couple of double stacks and some fries. i like and hate the AI they got taking orders. haven't gotten a bad order yet but if you ask it to summarize what you order it cant. somtimes it will at the very end of the order. i will say staff is usually good when i go sept yesterday when i asked for my card back after the women gave me my food and tried to close the window without my card. that women gave me one hell of a death stare just for asking for my credit card back.”

“I dont go to local clubs/bars . but this is proably the nicest / cleanest bar with live events in the area in my personal opinion. owners are great people who speak to their customers, engage and try their best to make everyone feel welcomed and have a goodnight out.
