“I've lived in Revere all my life and I remember when there were at least 6 roast beef stands, "BESIDES KELLY'S ROAST BEEF"...???.... I'M SORRY THEIR WASN'T AN ENGLISH WORD TO EXPLAIN THEM AND NOT ENOUGH TIME, back to NICK'S on Squire rd.. All of the takeout diners around here were owned by one or two Greek families, and i or nobody else would have it any other way. I'm from BEACHMONT so we had BEACHMONT ROAST BEEF,ONE OF THE BROS. Opened UP PETE'S SUPER BEEF ON BEACH ST. NEXT TO SHIRLEY Ave AND REVERE BEACH STATION. THEN ON BROADWAY THERE WAS DINAS' ROAST BEEF, AND GIORGIO'S IN NORTH REVERE, NEAR LINDEN SQUARE.WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THAT ALL OF THEM, "YES ALL OF THEM CLOSED DOWN FOR GOOD", BUT THERE WAS A SHINING STAR STILL STANDING, NICKS IN WINTHROP. After a few years in business they OPENED up another restaurant in SAUGUS,and then NICK'S BISTRO IN REVERE, CONVENIENTLY KFC BURNED DOWN TO A CINDER 6 MONTHS BEFORE NICK'S BISTRO STARTED CONSTRUCTION??. THE OUTCOME OF THAT FIRE GAVE BIRTH TO A BRAND NEW ROAST BEEF STAND IN REVERE, 10 YEARS PRIOR TO THIS WE HAD 6, BUT I'LL HUMBLE MYSELF AND BE GRATEFUL FOR WHAT WE HAVE, AND NOT UNGRATEFUL FOR THE THINGS WE DON'T HAVE“
“I've tried Ernesto's North End on two occasions. The first time I ordered pizza by the slice which was reheated to order. The second occasion I ordered a whole pizza which they made to order. The fresh pizza was much better than the pizza by the slice. The whole pizza took under 10 minutes to make. The crust was perfect and crunchy without the flop. The cheese and ricotta cheese topping was a little thick and kept falling off. But overall very good pizza. I'd say 5 star for the fresh made pizza and 3 star for the pizza by the slice. Workers were very friendly and the pizza with toppings was about $27 which was very reasonable.“
“Grace is honestly a fantastic bartender, with the people skills of a trained pro. I’ve watched her navigate the busiest bar and full floor like it was nothing, keeping the crowd happy. Mike’s commanding presence is not only because he’s tall, but he’s knowledgeable and friendly which you’d be able to tell immediately. His expertise in the hobbies we share made me feel welcome and at ease. Amilcar is skilled equally at making good drinks and making good conversation, what a guy! Dylan is personable and funny, putting guests at ease, easily. Great team, great atmosphere, great food and great drinks.“
“The food here is amazing, like really the food is incomparable to anything else. everything on the menu is 10/10 and the people are so friendly and so kind. They are so charismatic and talkative and make you feel very at home. There’s not enough stars to give them :)“
“After being unable to give a phone order for takeout at a snooty vegan place nearby that, snootily, doesn’t accept them, we were welcomed at Billy’s, even though they were surely busy when we called.When we arrived, we asked if they might have a bathroom we could use even though there was absolutely no apparent public restroom. Thing is, my friend is mostly blind and likes to drink coffee, meaning I always need to look for a place for her to go. Several employees went out of their way to accommodate us in their very tiny prep and kitchen spaces as we moved through to use their private restroom in the back. ?It was so very kind and thoughtful and if I could give them 10 stars I would! ?Simple consideration, like answering the phone to take an order and letting someone use the restroom even if it inconveniences their operations for a moment, demonstrates LOVE is still alive in the world and it can be found at Billys! OMG, and then there was the food!!! The omelettes were amazing, the home fries were delicious and when we wished we had gotten ketchup with our takeout, there it was in the bag, along with the extra napkins for my friend. And don’t get me started on the blueberry pancakes… Amazing!!!?The value was unbeatable and even as we were walking out the door, the love continued as I was carefully handed two coffees in a carrier and our paper bag of food as they could see I was leading my friend. Thoughtful from beginning to end. We will DEFINITELY be going back!?Thank you so much, Billy Bunch!!!“
“Last night, went to Prezza for the first time. Was excited because I love its sister restaurants,Tonno Gloucester and Tonno Wakefield.Short walk from North Station and the Garden! Beautiful restaurant! The staff are superb! Polite and friendly and on point! We had the meatballs, tuna crudo, and crispy shrimp ? for appetizers. Fabulous! No pictures. We ate them too quickly. For dinner, we ordered crispy pork, tomahawk veal chop and tagliatelle Bolognese. So good! For desserts we had flourless chocolate cake and a special bread pudding in whiskey sauce! Great restaurant for a date or a chance to catch up. Tables are not on Top of each other and restaurant is quiet compared to other great North End spots!“
“Great pizza in a modern brick atmosphere with some reasonable pricing. Bonus is they do slices as well as fresh sandwiches and salads. I would rate the large and tasty slices as being above Upper Crust's and their ingredients appear to be top notch.They do a "2 slice free drink" special.Service appears to be friendly with regulars/neighbors and professional/straightforward with all others. Bathroom on site too.Vegetarian options: Veggie sandwich, salad, and pizza options.“
“I was dejected from having the displeasure of a quite frankly awful experience at a putrid spanish restaurant down the street. I had decided to come here in a pinch to satiate my growing hunger, and it did not disappoint.The waiter was helpful and nice, and the environment was quite lovely. I was seated in a booth with my group, and I ordered the New york Bianca with Italian sausage and hot honey. The pizza was absolutely delicious and I couldn't recommend more. The other pizzas looked great as well.I can not speak on the appetizers as we did not order any. However, they looked good too.5/5“
“Huge portions, you must get the house prepared fettucine if you are offered a pasta option. The staff was very friendly and being our first time helped us pick out great options for dinner (she told us about the fettucine). We were sat quickly. Only unfortunate thing is the door bringing so much outside cold air in to the small restaurant, they do try hard to cut down on the cold air by keeping a curtain pulled to try to block it as best they can. Can't wait to go back.“
“The food is very delicious, healthy, fulfilling, and flavorful. The service is even better! Such a friendly staff, especially the cashier from Greece itself (I believe his name is Nicolas, but I might be mistaken)! I highly recommend GrecoVegetarian options: Veggie fritter“
“Dinner and drinks with a friend, great service and food. We had a fish sandwich that was plentiful and delicious and the Parmesan fries were outstanding. My friend had the “plain Jane” pizza which was great too! Definitely a “go to” in the neighborhood. Drinks were excellent, a white sangria and a razz lemonade!“
“I work at Mount Auburn Hospital as an ER nurse. With their kindness and generosity, donated and had food sent to all ER Staff on 3/23/2020 at around 21:30-22:00. I just want to say thank you very much for all your generosity (especially on this tough times).“
“I freaken love this place! It’s located in a corner of a Main Street in Saugus so you can’t miss it!! Pizza is always on point, topped with fresh vegetables and the crust is crispy. Tonight, I decided to get the chicken Alfredo with broccoli..oh man! it hit the spot. Tortellini pasta was aldente!! If you are in the area, stop by! They are always busy but food and customer service is always sooo great and most importantly consistent. Prices and portion matches the quality of food .“
“This little place has some of the best most affordable Italian cuisine on the North side of Boston! I was visiting Boston for the first time and decided to go here for my anniversary dinner! The chicken limon was delicious cooked perfectly a top a bed of homemade pasta with artichokes and spinach. The stuffed mushrooms were delicious and the lobster clam chowder was delectable ?“
“I ordered three pizzas from here and they were fresh and delicious!!! The crust was thin on the bottom and not too fat around the edge. It also wasn't overly salty. I will definitely go back. The owner was very friendly! It was also an easy place to pick up my order by car.“
“Nice rooftop views, good for a group dinner. Limited menu with pretty standard American food. Had the onion dip, jalapeño-bacon croquettes, & fish tacos. The tacos were meh but I'm rarely impressed by tacos. Liked the dip itself but didn't like how we given normal waffle fries with the dip rather than the potato waffles I had seen in pics. The croquettes were my favorite--very cheesy with a kick of spice. Friendly and fast service.“
“I got the Chopper Cheese and it was by far the best steak sandwich I’ve had in a long time. Rich flavor, great quality steak, and a perfectly toasted bun. And the hand cut chips were perfect. I only had a brief interaction but they seem very friendly and the shop is cool. I can’t wait to go back.“
“amazing job this morning to one of the managers there who i believe told me his name is Jose Amazing customer service and the first time experience this man have given me super friendly staff there Hands down the best Food ive tasted their grill cook she knows what she doing :)“
“absolutely loved this resturant. it is a sister resturant to futago udon right next door and the service is just as wonderful. eating the mazesoba truly is an experience - the combination of the flavors of the runny egg yolk and the umami flavors of the sauce is wonderful. you can also add vinegar to your noodles to change up the taste which I find fantastic. yuzu mazesoba was light, acidic, and refreshing. portion is just right. after you finish your noodles the leftover sauce is eaten with a free scoop of rice. just a wonderful resturant!“

“Initially I was concerned that I wouldn't find any vegan options in Boston. The Life Alive Organic Cafe in Cambridge was a great find. They are plant based having vegetarian and vegan options. The food is fresh, quality and the tastes a great.A wide range of dishes including warm grain bowls, salads, wraps, noodles and soups, and desserts. The beverages include smoothies, cold pressed juices, coffees, teas and suoerfood.lattes.This is definitely on par with the best vegan food I have had in London. Free WiFi, great food and service what more could you ask for. A short distance from MIT you should put it on your to do list.Pictured are Miso Tofu Ramen, Grilled Pita and Blue Breeze.Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
“Excellent all around. The salad was a bit more ordinary, but the kale salad was really nice with a mix of flavors and hearty greens. The jerk chicken was moist and tender, and nicely seasoned. The chipotle chicken might even be better! Small flavorful tender bits all around. The mac and cheese was a bit lacking - with there was more cheese flavor to go around. The beans and rice was delicious. The nicest might have been the plantains; they were really not too sugary, but had a nice sheen on the outside and cooked beautifully. So good!“
“We have ordered Work Hard Eat Good multiple times for catered work events and let me tell you, our employees don't get this excited for any other caterers! The jerk chicken and the mango salsa go SO well together, and the plantains are a lovely sweet treat too. The owners are down-to-earth and very pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend trying them out!“
“Food I'll come back for! You order at the door, so best to check the menu before coming in, to make sure you get seated the quickest. They'll serve your food after the order. The food and drinks were ?? They do have the cold pressed drinks in bottles. So if you're eating in, maybe skip them. We had the Spicy Peanut Noodles, The Adventurer Bowl, Elote Avacado Salad and and drink Frozen Mochaccno, Orange Blossom Cold Press and Ginger Crush. They were the best.Vegetarian options: All Vegetarian, killer food!Dietary restrictions: Would accomedate any dietary restrictions. All option clearly marked on the menu.“
“Ordered on a whim on Uber Eats and was thrilled after I took the first bite. Everything we ordered was delicious, portions were great, and the food was packed nicely! Came back the next day to order again because it was DELICIOUS! Will definitely be returning and telling others about this place.“
“Love this place for how amazing the experience is you can always trust a place to sit down friendly people they are by far the best chicken fast food chian another reason I like chick fil a is because they hold christian values to and with me being one that is what makes it more special for me this place“
“not pictured is a ham, egg and cheese on a plain bagel which was so good! mom and fiance both loved their breakfast. our server was lovely. restaurant was clean. would definitely return for breakfast. only downside to here is there's not a lot of parking“
“With breakfast being my favorite meal, I am always looking for something savory and sweet.My friend and I did a little trading of French toast. The Fire king and banana bread french toast were both flavorful and different in their pens. The fire king had cinnamon swirl in the batter. The banana bread french toast was the perfect combo.For the savory, you can go wrong with the classic: eggs, bacon, potatoes (and hash browns, we split those too) and toast.Definitely will get back!“
“Stubbys' Buffalo popcorn chicken is a true crowd-pleaser! Each bite-sized piece is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, coated in a flavorful Buffalo sauce that packs just the right amount of heat. Whether you're enjoying it as an appetizer or a main dish, this dish is sure to satisfy your cravings for something spicy and savory. It's the perfect combination of comfort food and bold flavors, making it a standout dish at Stubbys.But what truly sets Stubbys apart is the exceptional service. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest has a memorable experience. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality make dining at Stubbys an absolute pleasure.Overall, I can't recommend Stubbys enough. Whether you're dining solo, with family, or with friends, Stubbys is the place to be. Five stars all the way“
“Great service and atmosphere. I do wish they had a warm food bar option for people who don't eat meat.I went with family with the understanding that it's a steakhouse and a meat based establishment, but we had to pay for the full option and the poor severs kept coming over to me with their skewers.They were all really nice and brought the pineapple and cheese out to me first in our section, which I thought was a nice touch.Vegetarian options: There are options but it will be expensive for just the buffet.“
“Hands down! This is the best middle eastern food you can get. Great hospitality, friendly staff. Price over value is very good. All food items including the salads are great. I tried the whole roasted chicken, and I’m speechless. اكل اسكندرااااانى يا ناااس والاتحاد سيد البلد“
“Living out of state it’s hard to help family out when they are in the hospital. This will be my forever go to! They delivered outstanding food to my sister! Her and my niece thoroughly enjoyed it.The best part! My sister is going blind. She couldn’t go down to meet them and the hospital wouldn’t let them up (who knew) they came back when my niece got there. Way above and beyond.They delivered a sandwich, pizza and the pear salad! I was drooling here down South.Thank you thank you!“
“The menu is quite expansive, so this is a good catering option. I love middle eastern/Mediterranean food, so I’ve tried a lot of different places in Boston. Compared to other places, I wouldn’t say Sultana’s makes the cut for my favorites, but it wasn’t bad.- Spinach feta quiche: The portion size is good, but the flavor was bland. I wasn’t able to finish it.- Cookies: The cookies weren’t overly sweet, which I liked. They were crumbly yet soft.- Fruit yogurt pastry: This was my favorite. I liked that they are bite-sized (though, this is also dangerous because you’ll end up eating a lot). The pastry was flaky, and the yogurt was sweet, which balanced the tartness of the fruits.- Caprice acma: I wasn’t a fan of this. The acma was too doughy. Maybe it would have tasted better warm.Happy to have tried a new place, but I probably wouldn’t come back.“
“I made a mistake while ordering food for my wife. When she went to pick it up, she called me to express her frustration (anger) to me. I immediately contacted the restaurant and spoke with a woman who was on the phone on Thursday night. She was kind enough to replace the food, even though the mistake was mine. It was my first time ordering from this place, but it definitely won't be my last. Also, I must say that the swordfish I ordered was absolutely delicious!“
“I visited Greco this past weekend with three friends and had a great experience! Personally, I ordered the chicken gyro plate, which was a hearty and delicious serving. Staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend!“
“It is the best tourist trap that locals go to...skip tasty burger or shake shack in Harvard Sq and just go to Mr Bartleys for a superior burger at a very similar price pointBiggest issue is no public restroom for a sit down place, but its the city's fault not the business“
“It’s always a great day when I get to go to Lincoln’s Landing! The food is great and the people that work there are wonderful. The menu has a lot of variety, and the prices are really good for the amount of food you get. I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance!Parking: There is free street parking along that main road. There should always be a space available, but you may just have to walk a little further to get to the restaurant.“
“Topline: Was recommended this place by my Air BnB host and it did not disappoint. Good vibes, perfect spot to catch up with friends, a date, or on hang out by yourself. Great food and service. Ambience: 5/5. Narrow bar area when you walk in that is super crowded around dinner time, even on a weeknight. Seemed like it was a lot of regulars who knew each other. Past the bar the seating area is small and intimate, perfect for a date night. For Mr. Solo Dolos, there are 5-6 TVs all playing different sports channels. Service: 5/5. Colleen was awesome. Super helpful in explaining different options on the menu for foods and drinks. Taste: 5/5. The fettuccine with their house marinara was so good. They have a special frozen watermelon slushy drink that was pretty good, although probably not everyone's cup of tea. Expensiveness: 4/5. $30 for a house drink and an entree. About what I'd expect to spend at a nice restaurant in any major city.“
“For $14 (via Uber Eat), cháo lòng is excellent! Forgot to take a picture. No bad smell from the intestines (which is really hard to achieve). Generous portion of meat and clean bean sprout, with a side of quẩy. Not a lot of places in Dorchester can rock an excellent cháo lòng. One thing I'd suggest, a side of small fish sauce and thai chili comes with it, to make it more authentic. Bánh canh cua is ok, 8/10, will get it when I desperately crave for it. Will come back.“
“As always our meal at Dovetail was spot on. I had the snapper and my wife the scallops. Bother dishes were thoughtfully prepared, attractive and very tasty. We've been fans for years and have never been disappointed in our meals at Dovetail or their sister restaurant, Brewers Fork.“
“Everyone has been raving about this place so while I was getting a sticker across the street I went in and got a small Italian. It is very hard to get a real Italian Sub anymore. This sandwich was amazing and their bread tasted very good. I ate half of it there and took the other half home. While I was eating the owner gave me a small piece of Sicilian pizza and a meatball to try out! They make their own meatballs. Both were great. I can't wait to go back and I will definitely be ordering take out from them.Parking: There are a few spots in front. The parking lot is behind the building.“
“I stop here every time I’m in Boston. There’s always a wait but it’s worth it. The hot lobster roll is incredible and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great. You know the seafood is fresh when more items on the menu are listed as “market price” than not. Do yourself a favor and make the stop!“
“The Zaatar flatbread was great if you like the taste of Zaatar. The Chicken Shawarma is the second best in Massachusetts. It's reflects the flavor of a true Lebanese Chicken Sharma upto a great extent (except, the flavor was really light). But the chicken seemed a little dry and the size of the shawarma is a little small for the price.“
“The company I work for used Home Town Pizza for a company lunch and the food was so good I decided to call and plan a lunch for my own team. The owner right away took care of me and after giving a budget and an idea of what I was looking for, he made it made it happen and made the process super easy for me. Kept in touch with me, offered a variety of options, the food got delivered on time, checked in to make sure we liked the food and that we had enough, and most importantly, everything looked great, was delicious and the team was happy. I definitely recommend Home Town Pizza and will be using their services again. Thank you again for being so attentive, you did not disappoint!“
“Awesome place for a little hole in the wall. Website didn't work to order but phone order was fast and easy. Pretty cheap prices for the generous portions and awesome taste. The steak and cheese calzone was amazing and their subs are to die for.“
“Best pizza in Brookline! Meat lovers was great, taste of crust could be improved. White pizza was boring. Great mocktails and service. Fun atmosphere.FYI Boston has better places like Locale.Vegetarian options: Whole menu section for vegans“
“It's a good place to get Thai food and Sushi.I give the Masseman Curry and Siam Garden dishes a solid B and my partner feels the same about the Sushi. Thai Ice Tea is decent. We have been there around 10 times over 6 years. Food seems a bit improved recently.“
“Have been looking for good pizza and I found it. Crispy, not greasy and not too saucy. Realized when I got there it's a brewery spot too. Lots of beer on tap. Didn't eat in but will definitely have to next time. And it's filling.“

“Life Alive Organic Café has been a consistent favorite of mine during graduate school, serving as a reliable spot for healthy and tasty meals. With over 300 meals enjoyed here, I can confidently say that it offers a great variety of fresh, organic options that cater well to anyone looking to maintain a balanced diet.The café itself has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a great place for both studying and relaxing. Their commitment to quality ingredients and sustainable practices shines through in every dish. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience.For anyone in the area looking for nourishing food in a pleasant setting, Life Alive is definitely worth a visit. It’s been a great support to my routine of fitness and yoga, providing meals that are not only good for you but also delicious.“
“This place is a gem. We strolled in around 11am on a Sunday and were met with a warm welcome from the staff. Everything was delicious. We had the local oyster selection as well as the lobster cocktail. Incredible. So good we devoured it before we could take a picture!We had a few cocktails as well and enjoyed chatting with the Bartender, Michael.We’ll definitely be back in the summer for the ferry that goes back and forth to the other ReelHouse restaurants around the Bay!“
“Food - 5/5We got the esquite, al pastor tacos, carne asada tacos, birria tacos, and al pastor quesadillas.As a Californian, I’ve really missed good Mexican food, which is a big “missing” in Boston. I especially enjoyed the al pastor - great flavor and texture. Salsa is bomb too - nice and smokey!Ambiance - 4/5The restaurant is small and doesn’t have indoor seating. Definitely brings you home to California or any other place with Mexican food.Service - 5/5Service is fast and staff is friendly and warm. They mainly speak Spanish, so be prepared to whip out your Spanish food lingo.Other notes:1. There is paid street parking that’s easily accessible right next to the restaurant.2. The beach is half a block down if you want to find a place to eat.“
