35 Best American Restaurants in Somerville

“One of my all time favorite spots in Somerville never had a bad meal. Great vibe and service always suggests it as one of the top spots in Somerville.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and superb service. Highly recommend!“

“We love this place! The baked goods are our favorites, especially the personal sized cakes and loaded biscuits with seasonal fruit. Everything is made in small batches, always fresh and delightful. The thoughtful menu changes almost daily and I love that I can just pick something delicious without having to build my own. It’s always perfect as is! 🌞“

“This was my Daughter's birthday weekend and we wanted to Take her to one of the places that Guy Fieri Visited for DDD...making memories. What we got was so much more. Truthfully the Best dining experience we have EVER experienced. The hostess was super friendly and immediately made accommodations due to the fact that I am currently in a wheelchair. The atmosphere was astonishing!!! The food...we truly cannot say enough good things about an are planning when to take the trip from Vermont again to get more. We were blown away . However the highlight of our evening hands down was our Server Kevin!!! He made my Daughter's night ...focused on making her smile and gave her a piece of cheesecake to celebrate. We will remember this forever and simply cannot thank you enough“

“This place was great!! Highly recommend! Awesome atmosphere!“

“We came in for an early dinner at 5:00 pm and were surprised by the atmosphere. The place was absolutely BUZZING, but the music was so loud it felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant. It's a fun energy if that's what you're looking for, but it made having a conversation nearly impossible. Great for a party vibe, less so for a quiet catch-up!“

“One can never fail when going to the Vernon. Consistently great food, drinks and service.“

“Delicious and safe dining experience- the food was unbelievably fresh and creative. All servers went out of their way to be attentive and friendly- the mulled wine was the perfect beverage on this chilly afternoon! We brought blankets- and used them!“

“Good location in Davis Square“

“First time at Olde Magoun's Saloon. Beyond amazing food and service. Our waiter ( didn't catch him name) tall gentleman with a beard was phenomenal! Friendly and efficient!!! The food was savory and fresh. We enjoyed the Irish Chicken Curry and the Besto Pesto sandwich!! First time to Boston and by far our favorite meal here.“

“Love the vibe! Great place to just get a drink, or eat to your heart's content. I have been holding Twisted Networking- Somerville, MA for a while in the side room- awesome! #askjo“

“The Burren is hands down one of our favorite spots to play in Boston! The energy is always incredible, the crowd brings the best vibes, and the atmosphere is perfect for live music. We love hosting our showcases here and can’t wait for the next one!“

“All you can ask for in a wine bar.“

“Cozy, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and efficient service. Great food and drink!“

“Love love love this place. I’ve been a frequent regular for a few months now and I can say that the drinks, food, and staff are always top notch.

They have one of the best burgers in town especially for late night! The pimento cheese is beyond delicious and at this point the bartender Mika always knows to throw it in for me the second I walk in.

The cocktail and mocktail list are pretty impressive too. If you like the mocktail “1, 2, 3, 4” you should ask one of the bartenders to make you the 5678.“

“Easily my favorite bar ever!! The food is always phenomenal, the drinks are delicious & the staff are incredibly friendly, kind and accommodating. My friends & I are here pretty much weekly because we love it so much!“

“Can’t rate this place high enough! Clean, friendly service, abundance of options, but the food? The food is beyond incredible! Had the breakfast tacos and my husband had the Colombian breakfast. Omg, it was incredible!“

“It was my first time there but I can tell you not my last !! It is now my favorite breakfast place .. ( can’t wait to try them for lunch ) They girl that waited on us was very friendly and you could just tell the day after Christmas that she loved her job The place was very clean , and didn’t smell like old steal oil .. And the foot well that’s another story and why I will be back !! It was fresh , I mean FRESH !! Like everything was picked from a garden out back to make my omelette.. And the home fries amazing !! Try it you’ll love ❤️ it , just like me !!“

“This local place has delicious food, and has been serving it up for years. it's my go-to for their barbecue chicken (char grilled with a delicious garlicy sauce - not your usual American style barbeque!), and their beans are excellent.“

“Great room. Staff go above and beyond. I would say possibly my finest hotel stay..“

“I’m a huge Twin Peaks fan and this outside patio theme weekends are amazing! The staff is so friendly (I enjoyed nerding out about loving Kyle Maclachlan ) 😂 and it really makes being in the city so cozy. The playlist is spot on, and the menu and drinks are so to the show! Last night was my second time and it felt like I’ve been going there forever. Will definitely check out hopefully post Covid!“

“best vegan just egg bagel ever!“

“Cozy, neat little burger place. The food was delicious, and very unique. But the milkshakes, OMG out of this world. This is a unique dining experience that is definitely worth the trip!“

“So great! Thank you for being the neighborhood friendly place you are to a family in need of getting out of the house. We really appreciated the warm welcome and hospitality. We’ll see you next weekend for sure! - Sara & Matthew West (cute son Graham)“

“Great food and great staff. I'm a bit of a wing snob and these were some of the best wings I've ever had. I was told to try the steak tips and they did not disappoint. My only complaint is I live 14 hours away so I can't come back as soon as I want.“

“Small neighborhood greasy spoon diner with generous portions and an excellent breakfast menu. Numerous daily specials including omelets, stuffed French toast and benedicts. I had the William Wallace omelet with fresh apples inside for a sweet savory and my girlfriend had one with avocado, broccoli and spinach. Service was polite and self service coffee was available. Not necessarily a destination for brunch but a nice place if you live in the neighborhood.“

“Great staff and service is great. Food was very good. Lots of tables and a beautiful bar. highly recommend this really great place - nice atmosphere!“

“I am not a vegan but, I had to give this spot a try.
Ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, heavy on the pickle and a side of fries.
Let me tell you, I genuinely thought I had a real chicken sandwich. It was absolutely delicious! 🤤 The fries were the best I've ever had in this city, and that's truly saying something because fries are my all time favorite snack/comfort food.
Dwayne provided excellent service and great conversation while I enjoyed my lunch. His sauce recommendation was on point.
Definitely coming back again soon for some fries and spicy ranch. Can't wait to try another one of their vegan sandwiches.“

“Spent 3 days in Boston and enjoyed something different every single day! Bartenders helped me feel comfortable in a new city. 10/10“

“Fun cool and comfortable creative“

“Love it here. The Fig and Brie appetizer is always a must for us so we started with that. I tried the Crème Brûlée French Toast for the first time and now I'm a fan. Eggy. Creamy. Sweet. So good! I will order that again definitely. My daughter and I each had the margarita flight as well. Each glass is good sized. And the flavors were fun all delicious. Lively atmosphere and good service as always“

“Assembly Row is well complimented by Lucky Strike of Somerville* Great location with free parking in the adjacent garage. Well lit entrance with a lounge that welcomes you right in. Stairway to your right leads up to the fun & entertainment* Plenty of games to enjoy INCLUDING DDR! (iykyk*) Bowling lanes are dimly lit to set the vibe. Drink and snack menu provided with great options. Passed the bowling are more interactive games to play and a Large sit down bar, which has Plenty of screens to watch live games. You can also kick back on the comfy sofas there too* Great place for a date, a function or just a great time.“
