“Incredible food and drink menu. Everything 10/10”

“We’ve been coming to Noodles for years — day tripping from the Worcester area. It’s always an enjoyable experience. The people are wonderful, and the food is delicious. Highly recommended!”

“I am amazed at how much we enjoyed the Green Room 💚 this evening. The Staff was superb. It was very busy but never had to wait for orders, suggestions, or bill.

We will definitely be back for many encore performances!”

“Delicious food. I knew as soon as I came in and was met with the most wonderful smells and a full house that it would be great. Service can be slow, but they’ve just changed owners and are still ironing things out.”

“Lots of gluten free options and SO good.”

“What can I say? This restaurant is an institution. There is no Indian food like it in the United States. Truly authentic and delicious, extremely reasonable prices, perfect ambiance, and wonderfully hospitable. The staff are very kind, personal, and professional. Whether it be Kerala fish curry, puri bhaji from Mumbai, or tandoori chicken, the food covers a vast array of Indian dishes from many regions of the country, with the dinner and lunch buffet alike being plentifully tasty and fulfilling. The atmosphere of the restaurant itself is full of community, with many people, from college students to retirees, coming together to enjoy a feast under its roof. As someone who has a deep appreciation of Indian cuisine, I can honestly say that this is some of the best Indian food you will ever find. There are simply no words to do justice to the experience of eating at Bombay Royale and I could not recommend it more highly.”

“I highly recommend Joe's Cafe in Northampton for several reasons. First and foremost, they serve the best pizza in town—it's simply unbeatable! The atmosphere at Joe's is welcoming and cozy, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a meal. What truly stands out, though, is the staff; they are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making you feel right at home. If you're looking for an enjoyable dining experience, Joe's Cafe is the place to be!”

“Fantastic gourmet yet healthy food. Nice atmosphere. Great service.”

“We went for lunch and we were the only diners - we had a fantastic experience! There are labeled vegan options, and the staff were super helpful with answering questions.

“By far the best sushi Restaraunt in Northampton. Having been to all the sushi places in town, they have the best prices, the best portion size, the fastest service, and the tastiest sushi. A perfect balance of everything you could want from a restaurant.”

“Food was amazing. Wine selection top notch. It was slower for a beautiful afternoon evening on a saturday with great weather but honestly made it more enjoyable!”

“Everyone needs to experience Highbrow. You will not be disappointed. All meals are cooked to perfection and only the best ingredients. Menu has so many choices and fun kids meals as well. Very respectful staff and so kind.”

“They sell slices of cheese and pepperoni that are super affordable and convenient so close to Smith College. I got a slice of cheese, it’s exactly what I wanted, hot, fresh, and appropriately greasy- it was great.
The staff is super polite.
Great experience, I will be coming back!”

“Everything about this place is amazing ♥️”

“This is the place that I've been going to lately.I've gone at least 3 times maybe 4 this time.Though. When I went during the taste,there was a worker.There male larger set in size,who was very discourteous to me.Just because I told him that I couldn't do anything with orange.In it, because I had a slight allergy to it.He tried to basically toss me out. Saying that I couldn't order their because things got crossed. Contaminated all the time wouldn't listen to anything I had to say,even when I was trying to tell him that I had been there before without any issues.Just kept trying to verbally, push me out the door if it wasn't for the female worker there,I wouldn't have been able to order anything.Restaurants and food stores need to be more accommodating to people who have allergies or require. Food accommodations,they need to stop being so condescending to those who need food changes giving us attitudes or disrespects simply because we can't have something is discourteous.And disrespectful.If you can't accommodate us,put a sign out saying that you can't do so.Rather than waiting for us to come in and say something.And then causing a scene.Especially when it's only one worker who has an issue and not all the workers,it's embarrassing.And it's disrespectful to us as customers.It's worse when we know that we're being lied to and we know we can be accommodated And it's a simple fact that you just don't want to. I like the fact that I can choose between coconut or almond. For my milk, I also like that. I can mix flavors. They've been very accommodating for this at least when I can find with the female workers
When I do my teas. This time around, though I tried to do a slushy. Unfortunately, it didn't actually turn out a slushy, at least not the kind I'm used to. It kind of slashes I'm used to are pure. Ice with flavor this was more of like a milk like type slushy, i mean, there was ice, but not a lot, i had to add more ice when I got home, and even though I asked for mixed flavor and it wasn't mixed the way I wanted, I asked for strawberry and peach, but there was way more strawberry than there was peach. I couldn't really taste peach. I'm not sure if this is how they do their slushies. I think I'm probably going to stick to my usual drinks. I do like their food, though they're buns. I've tried those at least 2 or 3 times I like that. I can get those here. I would say the only one I don't like when it comes to the food is the sticky rice with the seaweed. I mean, I like sticky rice, just not the seaweed part, not a fan seaweed. The past drinks that I've gotten have been
Dragon fruit? Where's mango and almond milk? Which was okay? I put it that way because it was a new thing for me to try. I'd never mix those kind of flavors before.
I believe I also did mango and strawberry.
And then they're was peach and dragonflies.
I always added almond milk. Since you guys don't have coconut.
It would be really nice if you guys had more flavors to work with.”

“This is one of those pizza places that just makes you feel right at home! There's something about the atmosphere that gives it that classic, old-school pizzeria charm, and I absolutely love it.

The prices are great, and the pizza is even better! The pies have a nice balance, not overly saucy or greasy, which is something that you always appreciate. Just good, straightforward pizza that hits the spot without trying to be anything fancy.

One of my favorite things about this place, though, is the walls covered in currency collected from around the world over the years. It's such a cool and unique touch that gives the restaurant character. I always find myself looking around at the different bills whenever we visit.

Overall, Pinocchio's is a great little pizza spot with fair prices, delicious pies, and a welcoming atmosphere. Sometimes the best places are the ones that keep things simple, and Pinocchio's does exactly that!”

“Thai Garden is, without a doubt, the absolute crown jewel of Northampton’s dining scene. The culinary craftsmanship here is phenomenal, deeply authentic, and executed to the highest degree—this is food that doesn’t just satisfy, but brings moments of pure celebration and joy to the soul.

Every single dish we experienced was a masterpiece:
* Chicken Satay: Paired with an extraordinary peanut sauce that stands out as the best I have tasted anywhere, across continents!
* Sweet Thai Chili Wings: So expertly cooked the meat slides effortlessly off the bone.
* Duck in Coconut Curry: Rich, aromatic, and a beloved favorite for good reason.
* Pad Thai & Spring Rolls: Flawless executions of classic favorites.
* Desserts: The Mango Sticky Rice is so transportive and authentic it threatens to bring happy tears to your eyes, while the Fried Ice Cream is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that leaves everyone raving.

The interior is beautifully decorated, lavish, and wonderfully upscale—offering an elegant atmosphere perfect for a memorable sit-down meal or a seamless, polished pickup. The hospitality matches the food: every staff member is kind, graceful, and ensures everything operates with smooth efficiency.

It has become my ultimate local mission to explore their entire menu. I will be bringing loved ones back here over and over again. If you are looking for the truest, most extraordinary Thai gem in town, look no further!”

“Great place to give a try!!!”

“Waitress was very nice, service was great,and food was delicious as always,we were a party of 3 had sausage egg and cheese on English muffin side of hash browns,one of the amazing blueberrie pancake,side of sausage links, Monte crisco sandwich side of sausage links also chocolate milk x 2 each plus peach iced tea.....was great always enjoy eating there.”

“Excellent food! I look forward to Eating there again !”

“I give five stars one of best restaurants that has awesome donuts and the only one that got the street dogs that got cheese, hot dog and the out side of it you can get few things on them”

“Love this place!! Haven’t had a dish I didn’t love! Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, and guacamole are my favorite! I hope to try the flan next time!”

“Such a fabulous restaurant. Few things are better than dining outside on their balcony when the weather is nice. The food is exceptional, including the gorgonzola steak which is my favorite steak dish anywhere. The pasta dishes are also great. But what I love most is the helpful and efficient and, importantly, *non-pretentious* attitudes of the staff. That will be refreshing to some who are more used to another Italian restaurant in Northampton, which shall not be named. Mulino's is the best!”

“Went here today and got a Thai burrito 🌯 and it was amazing! Friendly staff and delicious food! 5 stars!”

“Yokohama Ramen is one of my favorite food spots. My wife and I have been coming here for years. The food is consistent and the quality has never diminished. The staff are very kind and attentive to the tables. I talk about this place to all my friends and everyone I take there has nothing but good stuff to say after. We will always come back, thank you Yokohama for the many years of amazing food and hospitality. We will 100% be back for more”

“The best! We've been coming here for years. Healthy, fresh, yummy food at a great price. Owner is super nice and sets a friendly, cheerful tone. Our family's #1 pick in Northampton.😀😀😀👍”

“Love there drink selection”

“I highly recommend this place! The food is great, prices are reasonable and staff are friendly. Also, I've never waited long for food to come out, even on a Saturday night.”

“Woodstar Caffe is an absolute pillar of Northampton’s culinary community and a local treasure we must cherish and support. Every single thing they craft is top-notch, and it has become a personal mission of mine to explore their entire menu because standard-setting quality lives in every corner of this beautiful space.

The offerings are exceptional across the board:

Sandwiches: Whether served hot or cold, every sandwich is generously crafted, packed with fresh, healthy, nutritious ingredients, and bursting with vibrant flavor. It is the ultimate wholesome treat to share with someone special or enjoy as a moment of self-care.

Bakery & Coffee: Their fresh pastries are out of this world—from light, flaky croissants to decadent cookies and rich brownies. Paired with a beautifully brewed drink (I am particularly fond of their Caffe Americano), it’s pure comfort.

While it reflects the higher quality of scratch-made food, every bite is worth every penny because you are investing in incredible care, premium ingredients, and true nourishment. Because it is such a beloved spot, the cafe is usually bustling with a steady, lively energy—transactions move at a fast, efficient pace, so just be ready for a quick and friendly counter interaction!

The entire team works with impressive dedication, doing a terrific job keeping the cafe impeccably clean and vibrant despite the constant stream of guests. You can feel the heart and hard work poured into every shift, which is why I love tipping generously whenever I visit.

Woodstar brings so much life, warmth, and vitality to Northampton—please make sure to visit and support this extraordinary local gem!”

“Great local bar, the bartender was awesome and we met one of the owners and she was very attentive as well! 10/10 we will come back every time we are in Northampton”

“If you have never dined here before, you are in for a surprising treat. The Culinary Arts Department at the Smith Vocational and Agricultural High School operates a student-run restaurant three days a week, Wednesday through Friday of most weeks, from 10:45 AM to 12:30 PM. The students, under the supervision of three chef instructors, learn every aspect of food preparation and service. There is menu service on Wednesdays and Thursdays and an all you can eat buffet on most Fridays, which is currently priced at only $15.00. The menu changes weekly and is posted online. This is genuinely one of the hidden gems of the Pioneer Valley.”

“Our Indian restaurant experience is very limited but I must say it was excellent service was spot on we enjoyed it”

Delicious sunrise smoothies, latte, Americano, breakfast sandwiches, scones and the cherry on top- a rad t shirt to support the Trevor Project! We will definitely be visiting again!”

“Irish Night was amazing! Excellent music, Traditional Corned Beef/Cabbage dinner, phenomenal raffle prizes. Great kick off to St Patrick’s!”

“second time there, and there will be a third, fourth, fifth cetera cetera...☕”

“Mary, Avy, and Autumn were incredibly welcoming and attentive, setting a warm tone from the moment we arrived. We had a truly delicious breakfast, with smooth, well balanced coffee and toast topped with almond butter, banana, and honey that had just the right crunch and bite. We genuinely enjoyed the entire breakfast experience and would happily return.”

“love the food. but Northampton location always spells my name wrong. Even with me spelling it for them. Today I am Oynna apparently.”

“The atmosphere and staff were lacking . The tv was off and there was no music. Only one staff person and she had no personality, didn’t even acknowledge the customers as the waited in line. Food was still excellent”

“Quick stop and grabbed two boba teas. They were both really tasty. I usually like to visit a place two or three times before I leave a review but Google was pestering me so I left a quick 4 stars!”

“Jaylene JUST helped me with my iced Black brown sugar coffee. She is the definition of superb customer service! I stopped here after having a very awful experience at the Granby location earlier this week... & now, I’ll make this my new location! THANK YOU!!”

“Thank you all for liking my store. We sure are trying to be # 1.”

“I’m gf and their food is the best Chinese gf I’ve had! They also have a great selection of items. I love their sweet and sour chicken and their shrimp dumplings!”

“We order your Whopper with cheese, the best! Also order the Original Chicken Sandwich, problem is it’s thrown together poorly. A lame pice of lettuce, doesn’t even cover the chicken, mayo spread weakly. This happens ALL THE TIME. Please fix issue!”

“Spoleto‘s Continues to provide outstanding cuisine. We have been customers since Spoleto was located on the south end of Main Street up to it’s latest iteration next to the railroad station. The food is great, the parking is free, the wait staff are excellent and all is good. Since all good food requires time in preparation when it doesn’t come out of a frozen locker; the wait time can be longer than McDonald’s, however, nothing better than sitting and sipping while waiting. A great New England experience.”

“We love the place, I order something different every time and love it all.”

“I recently visited my local Chipotle on King St. in Northampton MA, and left not just satisfied with my meal but genuinely impressed by the exceptional service I received from the shift manager and grill employee, both named Josue. They maintained an upbeat attitude, engaging in friendly banter with customers waiting in line. It was evident that they took pride in their work. When I requested a modification to my order due to a dietary restriction, both the shift manager and grill employee took immediate action to ensure my meal was prepared safely and to my satisfaction. Kudos to the shift manager and grill employee for their dedication, kindness, and efficiency.”

“Went to this place today while visiting my home state and this place is off the frickin chain! Awesome food and friendly staff. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent food! I look forward to Eating there again !”

“This is a typical McDonald's restaurant you will find almost anywhere in the US. This particular restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I always order fresh fries, and the staff was very accommodating and our food was ready in a timely manner - fresh and hot like we like it. Overall, one of the better McD's we have come across in our travels around the world.”

“The Bluebonnet has an inviting atmosphere and a great wait staff, they’re always so friendly. And their pancakes are so good😍🥞 Best Diner in the area!💙”

“Was there for the first time today was very impressed with outstanding and friendly service and the incredible / creative cuisine. I want to try more of the menu!”

“My favorite coffee shop in the area if I need good wifi, sunny ambiance, and a creative drink. They have a solid selection of pastries and light snacks (including items from Vegan Pizzaland/Coffee Counter after 10am), but don't expect to get a full meal. Love being able to roll dice while waiting for a drink, and you can even buy the good ones that give nat 20s 🧙‍♂”

“The best meals I have had since moving to WMA have been at Toasted! Not fancy but fresh and really good quality, like they care about the food. The place is cute with a great vibe and really nice staff.”

“Really unique, I love how the frozen yogurt isn’t too sweet. They have great toppings; I got fresh raspberries and kiwi. The medium was actually sized like a medium. Delicious!”

“Randy be doing his thang on them sandwiches, controlling the environment, crowd control, and supporting directing and assisting his fellow coworkers to get the sandwichs done in a timely manner. I watched him go through 20 people and push sandwiches as fast as he can. He definitely needs to raise or to be some type of supervisor shout out to Randy.”
