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.“

“I just had the best meal of my life here at Comfort Kitchen. Everything and everyone at this restaurant was phenomenal. We started with the Onion Soup Sliders - truly excellent, like a roti quesadilla. Then we had the Fried Trout with the Collard Greens, both were indescribable; the spicy crab sauce served with the trout was gourmand and the delicious smoky bacon flavor of the collard greens was not too heavy or oily! Each element shined and was so well-balanced.

And then, the DESSERT! WOW! The cardamom semifreddo was creamy and not too sweet. Just incredible, especially paired with the Nepali Milk Tea — which was clearly homemade!

My new favorite spot in Boston!“

“I got the Mac ‘N Stack with a potato salad side, the New England Clam Chowder, and a peanut butter chocolate frappe. It was so good! The potato salad and clam chowder were just like my memories from before going vegan, and the peanut butter chocolate frappe really brought me back to childhood memories. And the Mac ‘N Stack itself was good too, with the waffles with macaroni inside of them providing an enjoyable and unique textural experience, a great seitan patty, and excellent sauce.“

“We booked a boat dinner during Head of the Charles weekend for 22 people. Zoe at Sloane's helped me plan the event and she could not have been more wonderful for helping us make it all perfect. She was responsive and understanding. The restaurant staff made us all feel welcome and comfortable. The food and drinks were awesome and we all left very happy. Thank you!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

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

“Excellent food with influences from all over the world. Every dish we had was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Just be warned that the menu is pretty short, so look at it online before going to make sure there is something that appeals.“

“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!“

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

“Cafe Mami is a neighborhood gem. We've been coming here for years to enjoy their variety of Japanese comfort food. They have probably the best curry in Boston. Love the depth of great fruity curry flavor with their pork and chicken katsu and hamburger. Their gyudon has crispy sliced beef and beansprouts. Couple of our favorites are the Nininku chicken and beef tofu sets. Sauces are great and free refills on rice. They offer great value and quality. Staff is friendly and efficient. So happy they are still in the neighborhood after all these years.“

“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.“

“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“

“Had dinner here last week and my husband and I agreed its the best meal we've had in Boston in awhile. The food was delicious and flavorful without being heavy or unnecesarily complex. We especially loved the cauliflower/almond soup. The oysters with cherry salsa were another favorite. The mocktails were fantastic and the atmosphere struck just the right balance for us - excellent food and a well designed space, but not formal or stuffy. This feels like an elusive find in Boston. We're thrilled to add Liars to our short list of restaurants that fit that bill and can't wait to get back!“

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

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

“I haven't had a bad meal here yet! Really love that the have smoothies....the cranberry delight smoothie is my fave 😋 And how they make their eggplant parm subs--dice the eggplant into small pieces instead of big pieces that get soggy like I've had at some places. The staff is always friendly, great service, and the place is clean. Maybe a lil pricey, but its worth it for the quality of food 👍🏾“

“The best chicken around New England“

“Delicious food with so many options. Must visit when in Boston!!!“

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

“I purchased two plates of jerk chicken and fries last night. OMG, mi was very impressed!!! It was sooooo good!!!“

“Love the drinks and food here“

“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.“

“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.“
