Thank you for making our last evening in Massachusetts special!“

“Yesterday was the first time we tried the pizza at Pizzeria Enzina...Wow... and we are so glad we did. My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!“

“Excellent all around“

“Fabulous food, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Always have around 10 specials. They also have creative give aways/promotions a few times a year. The owner and staff are very friendly. Today Susan waited on me and she was quick and very nice.“

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!“

“Good food very nice service“

“Visiting from England and with the help of our waitress, we had a selection of tapas instead of individual meals. I must add that it was the highlight of our visit. Service was prompt and friendly and the food is without fault! Absolutely delicious and we will miss it. Hope to return in the very near future. Keep up the great effort all.“

“In town from NC and part of the craft beer industry down there so I love to check out different breweries when I’m visiting places. Randomly stumbled across Mighty Squirrel and had such a wonderful experience. First, absolutely delicious blackberry sour! Crisp, refreshing, with the perfect balance of pucker. Second, the staff all around was kind. We went to the Fenway and Waltham taprooms. Splendid bartenders, servers, and managers. Supriya was kind enough to give us a tour of the brewery itself. She is so sweet and was a blessing to us to be able to see the massive barrel and canning system! Highly recommend.“

“I and my husband had a dinner yesterday and food was delicious, Angelo, our server was excellent, real pro. The restaurant by itself gave us a feeling of the real Italy. Thank you!“

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)“

“This sushi restaurant has a clean and comfortable atmosphere. The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented, with a great variety of choices. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend!“

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.“

“My family and I just returned from the Charles River Chapter of the Bay State Council of the Blind Holiday Party at John Brewers. It’s at least the 12th year we have been going there. Everyone is so friendly and attentive. The food is always good and they provide braille menus. We all had a great time.“

“the best! lunch dinner, great service, highly recommended“

“Great spot just off 95. Warm and friendly staff with a great comfort menu. Nice place for a date night.“

“The pizza was great! The kids asked to come back the next time we’re in the area. They were impressed with the size of each slice! - Franchesca - Rochester, NY“

“Love so much about this place, the food is really good - the staff are so nice and friendly. They make you feel welcome. Love our Sunday brunches here.“

“Delicious food and excellent service!!“

“The staff was friendly. The food was delicious. The price was reasonable.“

“Okay, our new favorite Sichuan restaurant! We’ve been a couple of times now, and the flavors are amazing. All of the dishes that we’ve tried have been great - both in taste and value. Mapo tofu, spicy fish fillet, clay pot eggplant and pork to name a few. Highly recommended!“

“The price to quality ratio is very good, the only thing better would be the Costco $5 chicken. Lunch specials run $11 or $13 and comes with a bowl of rice.

While other restaurants in general load the meal up with fillers, such as breads, beans or rice, the ratio here is the other way around. There is 2X or 3x of the dish, relative to starch.

Comes with tea, picked vegetables and dry peanuts“

“Leo’s is a great place that has a friendly staff and great breakfast and lunch food with speedy service. Highly recommended.“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“Everything here has been super tasty. I’ve been many times and brought different friends who has all loved it. Nice, casual, cafeteria-style service. Lots if actually-vegetarian options that are very well-seasoned“

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!“

“This is a great local pizza shop. This place has been around for many years. Mainly meant for takeout, but has options for dining. My children love the pizzas. They say it's very tasty. They also have other options as well including salads, subs and calzones. This is definitely a place to add to ones list and try out.“

“I hadn't been to Sweet Basil in a while and my friend and I decided to give it a go. I had forgotten how beautiful the decor and ambiance was. We sat at the bar and were warmly greeted by the host as well as Caroline, our bartender. She made us two perfect martini's to the rim, and brought us out a complimentary dish from the chef which was fantastic (I think it was fried chickpea flour in the shape of a very think fry. They also brought us out complimentary bread and focaccia as well as home made pesto. We ordered the meatballs (the best I've ever had, and my wife is Sicilian). We then shared the Chicken Parm which had the most amazing chunky sauce packed with flavor along with homemade rigatoni! This by far was one of the best meals I've had in a while! Sweet Basil will now go in our rotation of weekly restaurants to visit.“

“My boyfriend and I love it here! When the staff learned it was his birthday they went all out with taking care of us. The staff are so kind and want you to enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great food and staff! Will visit again!“

“Came here on a Saturday evening because we had a hankering for a variety of meats and had driven by this place many times. As you walk in, you are greeted by a salad bar and table with plates or takeout containers. You grab whatever you want from the salad bar buffet (which has a small selection of meat at the end) and then head over to the grill. There are a different cuts of chicken, beef, pork, and lamb that you can request. Once you’re done ordering, they weigh your plate and you pay based upon that. There are different prices for salad bar only, salad bar and grilled meats, and grilled meats only). Then you can either take it to go or sit in the dining area behind the bar. There was a TV playing a concert and some other folks back in the casual dining area.

The picanha and other beef was a bit overcooked the night we went, but that doesn’t take away from how great the other meats were. The chicken breast wrapped in bacon was super juicy and flavorful as was the pork and spiced chicken sausage. I also tried the chicken heart just to try something new and it was also pretty good. The chicken wings were also a hit. I didn’t try anything from the salad bar, but my compatriots said the pork meatballs were also fantastic!

Overall the meats are great albeit some of the steak was overcooked, however the value for this meal was excellent. With tip, I paid $21 for nearly 1.4 pounds of various meats. Worth a try if you’re in the area and I suspect we’ll be coming back when our next carnivore craving hits!“

“BEST thai we have in Waltham! Very nice staff. Been ordering from them for many years. Never one complaint. Great art work to admire too!“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“My plate of food was 🥘 good but too expensive .“

“God food taste and excellent beers“

“Delicious, fast service. My husbands childhood spot..“

“I see the one star reviews for this place, while I can see how somethings like that can happen, I did not experience any of those things mentioned in those reviews. I got the molcajete and everything was fresh and tasted good decently seasoned but needed some more salt and maybe lime or another citrus or freshness. My wife got the bitting tacos and said they were good as well. My aunt got a burrito which was a generous and I mean generously sized burrito, she said it was good as well. The queo was not a ball park nacho cheese (it was your typical white queso) that had chorizo in it. Our waitress was good and professional.

I havent seen any additional charges after paying or on the check like the one person mentioned in their one star review.

All in all, a good place for Guatemala/Mexican food. (They also serve brrakfast)“

“We had such a great meal here! We started with the soup with pineapple, tofu, and shrimp rice wraps, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. For our entrees, we ordered the steak banh mi and the beef pho, and both were perfect.

It’s been a while since I’ve had a truly great Vietnamese meal. I usually get banh mi in Malden, but they never feel like a full sandwich, and my favorite pho place that I loved for years closed. I’m so happy to have found a new spot that I can look forward to going back to. Everything was tasty, satisfying, and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend!“

“Always tasty food at a reasonable price 😊“

“Hands down the best Chinese food in Waltham! Delivery is fast and food arrives hot and well packaged. Crab rangoons, chicken fingers, egg rolls, boneless spare ribs, wonton soup, fried rice, lo mein, peking ravioli, general gau's chicken, and beef/chicken teriyaki skewers are among our routine orders. They are all soooo good. Have never eaten at the restaurant, always done delivery.“

“Annie is the most awesome bartender.she is so personable and helpful it was a great experience in Waltham“

“I love this place; it’s very clean, and whenever I go, I’m treated very well—the staff are so friendly, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The food is delicious; I brought some friends along last time, and they absolutely loved it. They deserve five stars and more. I highly recommend it.Gracias Izaias un abrazo“

“Our party of 6 had an excellent belated-valentines day dinner this past weekend. Our server Danny was so attentive and personable. He kept the drinks and laughs coming! All the food was fantastic and came out quickly. We will definitely be back again!“

“I give it 4 stars clean and friendly staff.“

“Honestly has been my go to for the past 3 years. This place slaps every time I get it. Prices are great, portion sizes are generous, and taste is good. Highly recommend the pork fried rice. Obviously not something mind blowing but, for the price, they don’t skimp on the meat and you can really taste the wok hei. Also one of the few places open past midnight so great for college students.“

“I ordered through Uber Eats from here, and I liked the food! The wings could be a little crispier, but they tasted good! The fries come with a lot of seasoning, but they could also be a little crispier. Overall, not a bad place to get dinner from!“

“Recommended by the front desk at the Best Western. Really Good Food!! Did not disappoint. Local business, friendly service, will make it a “go to” when I’m in town.“
