Comfort Food Restaurants near Newton, MA

“Good food and drinks; excellent service“

“The chili is amazing. I can’t ever make it home without digging in on the way. Getting soup and chicken from the same place is genius, a full meal that tastes like it came from your own kitchen.“

“Local live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Great staff, fantastic food, creative drinks, nice beer selection.“

“Truly one of the best the Boston food scene has to offer. Nothing like it. Try everything on the menu if you can. Seriously. May the neighborhood and community surrounding this local gem continue to build and grow around this centerpiece of a restaurant.“

“I ordered online at the new Wellesley location, not knowing that the restaurant was temporarily closed for the day. However, the staff opened up just to make my sandwich and were very friendly. The grilled cheese was delicious, big, and fairly priced. Will be coming back to try the Mac and cheese!“

“Another awesome night at my favorite restaurant- chicken piccata was delicious with mash potatoes & asparagus - my spicy margarita was alive with flavor … the live music was starting & people were pouring in the doors & the night was happening… what an amazing experience & the best place to be!!!“

“First time buyer and I have to say, hands down, the BEST chicken pot pie I have ever eaten. Don’t change one thing about it!“

“food was amazing. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥“

“Wow, it was such a treat to have breakfast at a place with no meat in the U.S.!
Not only is it vegetarian, but almost every dish can be made vegan, which is just amazing!
I had the vegan version of the breakfast burrito and it was super tasty, especially with the roasted Brussels sprouts on the side ,so good. I wasn’t crazy about the slightly sweet sauce, but with a bit of salt and their hot sauce it was perfect.
The waitress was so sweet, and the whole vibe was a 10/10. There’s so much more on the menu I want to try, so I’m definitely coming back!“

“Came for lunch on a Monday and had our choice of seating. We opted for a booth, but the rest of the space was bright and airy and seems to be suited for groups of most sizes.

I got the Blackberry Bumble mocktail and the Sweet Potato Chickpea sandwich. The drink was tasty, as was the food. It came with a huge side of curly fries, which I was too full to finish.

Service was friendly and quick, and the bathrooms were nice and clean. I wish I could give 4.7 stars though, because by the end of our meal, there were tiny little gnats flying around and crawling on the table. Otherwise a lovely meal!“

“The best chicken around New England“

“Amazing food and good service. I will go back.“

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)“

“Top Tier Authentic Good Haitian food in my opinion.I love their rice individually grained and light and not greasy. The portions are generous everything comes in its separate container from the meat, the rice and sos pwa or legume. For now on Fridays you get free mac n cheese with your order .This is your mother your aunt your Grandma your wife cooking food for you fresh from the kitchen with love.“

“Amazing restaurant, I love it. ♥️♥️♥️“

“No longer cash only! This tucked away eatery serves delicious curries and chicken cutlets. Feels like a legit Japan-style restaurant where you can get a comfortable, familiar meal, by yourself or with friends and family. Delicious sesame salad and miso soup! The red pickled radishes with the curry were best. Attentive service and dishes are served at just the right pace. Plus enough for two meals!“

“Finished playing basketball and want to have something healthy. Then went to Iris and ordered Cobb salad. It is good with chicken, bacon and salad, they also add avocado with it. Even though it looks like a fast food restaurant, but the food itself is definitely not fast food and worth a try. I will try other kind of food in the future.“

“Jackson’s Kitchen has been a go to spot for us for years. I love that we can get a salmon dinner with rice pilaf and veggies or an awesome sub or burger. The diverse menu has something for everyone! Don’t miss out on the meatballs or fish tacos either. I end up getting a few dishes- too many good choices.“

“The department is young and a great group that takes its job serious. We are lucky to have them“

“I really appreciate what you did for me. I am from Turkey and I was travelling in Boston in 2018. I had no money with me but still the woman prepared meal for me. It was really delicious by the way. And they are amazing people. I will never forget about you. Thank you so much. God bless you !!! <3“

“I don’t know what spell they put on the rice and beans here but I blacked out mid-bite. The carne de res was juicy, flavorful, and dangerously good. This wasn’t lunch — this was a spiritual reset. I wiped the plate clean like it owed me money. Dominican comfort food done RIGHT. This is my second time here and I am for sure coming back.“

“Food was delicious Fried green tomatoes were delicious Everything was good Only disappointment was dessert we wanted was out“

“Went here for dinner after a Bruins game. It’s a 3 minute walk from the Garden, great food (Pub style), great service, decent prices. Definitely will be back.“
