“Service was quick and effecient. Wait staff gave me a great recommendation for lunch. The short rib curry was delicious; came with rice. Dining area was small, but single seats long the window were open. Price for the entree was $22, but short ribs don't come cheap. The meat fell off the bones, and it made a tasty curry! There were also peas and peppers in the curry. Spice level was perfect, big flavor, not heat.“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“Visiting from California and went here for dinner, what a great decision. The owner greeted my wife and I as if we had known him our whole lives. He was extremely helpful and the food was delicious. The portion sizes are HUGE and the price isn't.“

“Deep Cuts is a great little spot to eat and catch a show. The food is good, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The live space is small and intimate. There’s even a selection of vinyl records available for sale in the taproom!!!! I highly recommend it.“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“We had a graduation party and this was the perfect ending . Delicious ice cream and cookies . Highly recommend“

“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 !!“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Been drinking Idle Hands beers since they were in the original Everett location (I think it was a slasher movie film set). Quite simply, the best beers you can get unless you leave the continent and head east, and they’d give the European breweries a run for their money too. Top notch!“

“An amazing gem in Belmont. I can’t recall ever having a more tender chicken than I had here. The portions for the main dishes are enormous so they’re worth the price. The staff were kind and attentive. I’m looking forward to trying more dishes and I highly recommend Cafe Vanak!

Vegetarian options: The menu offers an impossible version of some dishes and there are grilled veggie options as well.

Parking: There’s a small lot behind the cafe, and street parking seems reasonable.“

“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.“

“Love this place. Although my burger was well done and I asked for medium rare, but no restaurant ever gets it right. It is a little pricey but expected these days. Service was great. Food was excellent. Will return.“

“Ordered an ice cream cake for Easter. It was delicious!!!“

“If you ever find yourself in Boston, do yourself a favor and visit Jen’s place. Jen is an incredible woman, hard working, dedicated, and truly passionate about what she does. She built her business with the kind of diligence and professionalism that can only come from someone with deep Italian roots and a genuinely kind heart.
From the moment you walk in, you can feel her warmth in every detail. The food is unforgettable, her meatballs are rich and comforting, and the cannoli are some of the best I’ve ever tasted. But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the atmosphere Jen creates. Strangers sit together at the same table, share a meal, laugh, talk, and by the time they leave, they already feel like new friends. It’s a beautiful experience, one that stays with you long after the evening is over.
I loved every moment I spent in Boston at her restaurant, and I’m deeply grateful for Jen’s generosity, her spirit, and the love she puts into her work. Thank you, Jen, for making your restaurant not just a place to eat, but a place to feel at home.
Laura Laureto.“

“The husband and I did an order during their soft open, and it was super good! We have ordered atleast 2-3 more times since the soft open and it's always good! I've tried all their sides, brussels are DELICOUS. Zucchini salad is also VERY good. I do think it has a LOT of almonds, but I could have just gotten a nut heavy scoop, so definitely recommend! We did and sampler platter and the meats are solid. The ribs are THE BEEEEST. pulled pork and brisket is good too. have yet to try the burnt ends, that's my next venture! Overall a great meal. Price wise, it is moderate. price points around the same if not cheaper for most BBQ I've had up here. I'm from the south so prices will never be as cheap as there, but the food, personally, is worth the price.“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“The ice cream is amazing. So many flavors and they’re all good. The prices and also great for the amount of ice cream you get. We also bring our cooler and buy a gallon of milk when we go. There’s always a line on the weekends. We also love the mini golf and batting cages. The mini golf is a little more expensive (over $30 for three of us) but the batting cages are a great deal at $2 for 12 pitches or you can get 10 tokens for $16. It’s also fun to walk around the grounds and see the animals.“

“First time in Nee England and my buddy joined a bowling league. So I told him lets go and I’ll just chill at the bar. This place is awesome! Great flatbread, great beer and great service! If I’m ever up this way again I’m for sure making a stop here.“

“Really good flavors. I tried the mushroom lobi bowl as my main course and also some of the appetizers and desserts. This is primarily a quick-serve take out restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables inside. They also serve breakfast too under another name. I tried their fruit compote (juice) which is house made with real fruit and it was delicious. Owner was the only one working and he was very nice.“

“This was the best night out I’ve had with my husband in a long time. The food was spectacular- I suggest the mezze platter so you can try everything, and of course the koshari. The mushroom fritters they had as a special were divine. The atmosphere and quality of service were top-notch and we will absolutely be coming here regularly.“

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

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“Definitely coming back“

“Though I have not been to the Cafe in person, the sandwich I had from there was one of the best I have ever eaten! Can't wait to go in person. 5 stars.😋“

“Mancini Soul Project definitely recommends night shift brewing. the best people, staff and brews!!“

“After living nearby for more than a year, I finally visited Bikeeny Caffe this week. The pastries were delightful! My favorites were the Italian cheese blend pastry and the honey pecan pastry in the photo I’ve included. The employees were cheerful and kind. I plan to return at least once every week!“

“We come to Boston every 6 months, this restaurant is within walking distance of our hotel and our go to place. Such great food amd amazing service! We love our waiter Robin!“

“Loved it! Great cocktails! And puppies!! 😍“

“I wanna say thank you to the Jana Grill restaurant for the delicious food! I really liked the Armenian kebab, the restaurant is cozy and comfortable. There was an event on this day, but this did not affect the service time, there were a lot of people and i want to say thank you to Dmitry, sorry if i misspelled your name, this is a waiter in a black shirt who helped me with the choice from the menu, especially with dessert it was delicious, very good service! I will definitely return to you. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for such staff I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“This place is one of the best places I’ve been to in a hot minute! The bottomless brunch and $4 mimosas had my best friend and I making immediate reservations! The staff and management are so sweet and truly care about the service they provide. This really is the place to go and if you haven’t yet you better get on it babe! Will be here once a month at least! Seriously obsessed! 🤍“

“Great food and coffee and tea! Friendly staff! Beautiful atmosphere with lots of light and pleasing design.“

“Everything at Taco Libre is delicious!!! I ordered take out. I got their nachos with carnitas and extra queso. It can feed almost 3 people. Their ingredients are fresh and the owners are so friendly !! Give them a try and support a local business. You won't be disappointed!!!“

“nice state park.lots of wild life to see.“

“visited the Salem Willows location for the first time the other night, as a person with allergies I was thrilled to be able to enjoy the Vegan cookies and creme with GF Oreos 😍 delicious! And the staff was amazing, TJ answered all my allergy questions with a smile, really helpful, and Olivia gave us gorgeous cups of ice cream that were perfectly scooped, not always the case when you get ice cream on a hot day, so thank you to you both 🥰❤️“

“Great food and pet darn fast actually. My wife had the shrimp scampi with linguine and I had the stuffed calamari over black squid ink linguine. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“Delicious food, prepared with care & love. I had a jerk chicken & plantain wrap — highly recommend. For dessert, key lime pie — out of this world. Excellent service & atmosphere.“

“Great sandwiches, coffee drinks and a welcoming environment.“

“I very much enjoyed this coffeeshop. It is very cozy and welcoming. The coffee was fantastic, and they have creative drinks I haven't seen other places. It is the perfect sort of place to come and sit and study or do work. The staff was so kind. I like how they display local artist's artwork on the wall. I thought it was a kind gesture that they have a printer available to the community too if someone needs to use it. Very much a community focused coffeeshop. I definitely will be back next time I am in Boston area.“

“The quality and presentation of the food was top notch. We were incredibly impressed by the dining room layout and staff. If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.“

“Thank you! I tried your dairy free Black Raspberry Oreo, and it’s a game changer! Finally a dairy free ice cream that has the right consistency and tastes like actual ice cream. I was so excited that I could taste the black raspberry without any hint of almonds/sunbutter/coconut as is always the case at other places. Cal’s Creamery is the best! PS - my husband loved your baklava flavor!“

“This place is unique in that it is one of few spots in town where one can order espresso drinks in the evening and sit and hang out. (And this includes espresso martinis!!!) However, lately the espresso machine has been shut off at 7pm, so be sure to place your order well before then.“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“For years, I breezed past this spot, assuming it was just and old convenience store. Little did I know, I was missing out on some good sandwich deals. A few months back, I discovered they were slinging subs, so I stopped by a couple times to grab some cold subs.

P&K has been a neighborhood fixture for over seven decades, and you can feel that old-school charm the moment you meet the owner. He’s the kind of guy who’s always friendly and never skimps on the toppings—generosity is clearly baked into the business. While the sandwiches aren’t quite the size of Al’s famous subs, they still pack great value, and honestly, they’re hefty enough that I rarely manage to finish one for breakfast. My favorites so far were the seafood salad and the classic Italian sandwich.

Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for no-frills, classic Italian subs. Just keep in mind that the hot subs aren’t usually available until after 10am.“

“This self-served salad bar is perfect! Everything keeps clean and staff wearing gloves. Though they have different choices of Korean food, I was attracted by this fresh variety of salad and it’s so flavorful and tasty. Great for vegetarian and veggie lovers, can’t ask more for this summer ! Highly recommended the place.“
