“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención”

“We ordered the grilled chicken & beef banh mi. Both were fantastic and HUGE! Ate mine for lunch two days in a row. Service was also extremely warm and friendly. Will be back soon!”

“Fast service and food is amazing every time!”

“very good food decent price . will return for more...”

“The best chicken..:definitely”

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.”

“Casual atmosphere, good service, and good food.

Parking: Parking in back enter at Dunkin then go to your right.

Kid-friendliness: Seems to be very kid friendly.”

“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!”

“I love their food jun our server she is great”

“Love this Pokebowl here! Good ambience, clean restaurant, nice staffs, and they have kids menu!

Parking: Arsenal Yards has plenty of free parking in the building”

“Amazing and authentic south Indian food. We had kuzhi paniyaram, podi dosa, egg kothu parotta and parotta with chicken salna - everything tasted great , fresh and felt like you would have it in home.

Highly recommend this restaurant”

“Certainly the best Persian food in Boston. Must try the Koobideh”

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices”

“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.”

“Thank you for coming to Arsenal Yards!!! What a nice edition to this family friendly area. My family and I have been pleasantly surprised by Mighty Squirrel and have visited this place many times.

First, I love the ambiance of this place. It’s so big and open. I love their outdoor space. I’ve only been here in the summer, so I’ll be interested to see how they’ll use their space in the wintertime.

Second, the beers and other beverages are so yummy!!! I love that you can get small versions on most of the beers. I also love that they serve coffee and fresh juices. What a treat for any occasion. Their food is pretty good too … especially their fish tacos. They are craveable and better than most taco places!!! I do wish, however, they had some flatbread options. That would really make this place amazinggggg!!!

And last and most importantly, their service is impeccable. They get pretty busy but have always tried to accommodate seating. I also superrrrr appreciate that they are baby/toddler/kid friendly. Like … so patient and no dirty looks. You’d be surprised how many places automatically judge you when they see a stroller pull up. This really makes this place shine and stand out cuz honestly, who needs a a drink with a nice vibe more than moms and dads of kiddos.”

“My favorite place to have freshly cooked bakery goodie’s. Olive bar with so many different types of olives. Clean and very friendly peoy. Strongly recommended.”

“This is a hidden gem. The service might be a little slower at times because it is such a small joint. But do not let that deter you from a phenomenal cup of coffee or treat. The cold brew is OUTSTANDING, it speaks for itself and I could drink it black it is so smooth.”

“Thank you for a nice chicken parm dinner. It was very good and a nice portion. I'll be back!”

“So glad to see you open 6-8 pm Fresh quality ingredients. Everything I have ordered has been excellent!”

“This is the second time in one week my friend and I have chosen this restaurant as our destination for food, drinks, and merriment and we were not disappointed.The staff is a delight, both times we were greeted with a warm smile and they were very knowledgeable recommending dishes and levels of spice. The naan bread is delicious and the appetizers and entrees we ordered were amazing as well bursting with so much flavor. The cocktails were crafted with precision and so much passion from the wonderful bartender. The live music is great! We definitely recommend Chulo restaurant and plan on returning again and again!”

“Just had food delivered for my birthday last night for the first time. Absolutely amazing quality taste and presentation. My husband and I are both disabled so not going out much. We felt like we experienced being there. Delicious!”

“Best burger in town and I love the sweet potato fries!”

“Excellent coffee, good aroma as well as taste. The pastries are also outstanding. The cinnamon bun wasn't overwhelming with cinnamon, which is what a lot of other places get wrong, and the pastry was flaky as opposed to dense. The maple scone was also tasty.”

“Excelente lugar, la comida deliciosas y muy buena atención”

“I highly recommend Greg’s restaurant. My best friend from high school Nikki who 41 and I who 41 love to go here . We go frequently. Our favorite. Nikki is in love with the summer picnic salad and literally gets it every single time we go. She knows she likes it so she goes with it kind of like Sheldon on the Big Bang theory. I love this salmon dinner , salmon bowl , grilled chicken dinner , Their veggie burger , the crunchy Chinese chicken salad and both quinoa salads . We went last night and Nikki had piece of strawberry shortcake. It was huge and so good she said . They are noted for their desserts. Bear desserts and meals around! Nikki also loves their clam chowder. Last night dining down in the pub section where we love to go we had the sweetest waitress Britney who said she remembers us cause we go a lot. We’ve had another young lady waitress with glasses couple tones who’s sweet too and a young handsome male waiter who’s awesome too. Greg’s makes best pickles too. Greg’s great place to get a great meal and dessert! We go to the East providence location on Pawtucket Ave.”

“I went with my family on a road trip and stumbled across Johnnie’s and we absolutely made the rite decision! The wings are fenomenal and the calzones are so delicious as well! So happy we stopped in to eat here! Also the service was fantastic!”

“Persian bakeries are hard to find. We drove over an hour to get here and were not disappointed. Everything is delicious and fresh as can be. Lots of good stuff is not on display so make sure to ask.”

“Five stars. Service was amazing and food was all made using fresh ingredients. It tasted homemade and it was lovely. We had a nice chat with the cashier, she was a very lovely and welcoming lady.”

“I love the pizzas, of course! My favorite: a white Roman with fresh spinach and tomatoes. Yum!”

“I’m honestly glad that I waited to post my original review with a lower rating and thought through the experience a little bit more. As always, I find it a bit harder to review fusion spots. Not just any fusion either, but one that is all over the world map. It’s easy to just nitpick one dish and use it to judge everything else; but what about that is remotely fair?

For example, their Beef Rendang (a dish that I’m very familiar with - including the different regional renditions) is more like a hint towards what “real” Beef Rendang is. I don’t even need to speak on behalf of the Filipinos regarding their adobo (which I also grew up on) who are infamous to show up on public forums to criticize and say “that’s not how my grandmother makes it” (lol).

What did come to mind is the old quote that many often find negative but actually was meant to be a positive phrase (if the last part isn’t so often omitted). “Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than a master of one”.

That definitely applies here with their style of food. There’s a lot going on and a good portal to the true potential of each dish. Definitely give them a try! Portions are good and the food is definitely tasty!”

“Enjoyed a delicious brunch here today - they also serve their regular menu all day. Staff was friendly, beautiful space.”

“Love this restaurant, it is my go to spot in this area. I even grab their rotisserie chicken to go sometimes! The aesthetic is very nice here for friends or work colleagues. Always great food, drinks, and service.”

“The menus items are fusion of different cuisine, which are quite fun to try. All dishes are medium sized tapas style, each person probably needs about 1.5 dishes. The alligator meat is exotic, and tastes quite nice. There are other dishes that are a little salty and too strong in flavor that left a strange after taste, hence the four stars for the food. We did not finish the duck and the ribs.”

“Delicious vegetarian/vegan and gluten free friendly food. The Gobi Manchurian Cauliflower is delicious.”

“Excellent, excellent sandwiches and the owner is super friendly and cool. There is very little seating so it’s more of a take-out joint but there is a counter and a couple stools if you want to dine in.”

“Service was fast and friendly, coffee felt overpriced but I was proven wrong as you get almost two whole portions for the cold brew and it was delicious. My chicken and waffles was great, my boyfriend’s omelette was ok but it came with a laughable amount of home fries especially for the price. Probably wouldn’t return for food but might stop by for coffee!”

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious”

“This place is really awesome. I am Greek and I love it. Restaurant is clean and updated. The service is excellent, and the owner is very nice- always remembering my family when we come in. Food is fresh and tasty. We all git something different and we all enjoyed what we got.”

“Very delicious food here, we loved everything. Amazing service as well. I loved the crispy rolls. Thank you!”

“Great spot for food and sports. staff all great to highly recommend going here”

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend”

“Tori Jiro is an absolute gem for anyone who loves authentic Japanese cuisine. From the moment you walk in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel right at home. The yakitori is perfectly grilled with just the right balance of flavor and tenderness, and the variety on the menu ensures there’s something for everyone. Every dish is beautifully presented, and you can tell the ingredients are top quality. The staff is friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, always happy to recommend something new. Tori Jiro has quickly become one of my favorite spots for a relaxing, delicious meal. Highly recommend!”

“cute family owned pizzeria. professional, dedicated to service and food. I wish i had found it sooner.. close to 250 Arsenal research park. great option!

Parking: you really can easily park and run in.”

“This is literally the best Persian restaurant in the "Greater Boston" area! Definitely an unforgettable experience! The food's delicious as ever! The service's + Atmosphere's 100% terrific!”

“Great Staff and they Make consistently outstanding Apizza just like New Haven.”

“Delicious food, quality ingredients. Gracious service!”

“Love everything, from warm chips and salsa to entrees and delicious drinks.”

“was in a last week Food was great and Denice waited on us. She was so attentive and so friendly. Such a great server! I will definitely be back and hope we get her again.”

“Opens at 6am which is awesome! They have yummy coffee and MEM tea as well as a massive assortment of tasty treats (those cinnamon buns are dangerous…maybe leave those for me).

They also make cakes with 48 hours notice!!!

There is one step to get in but there may be a ramp around the side. I didn’t notice. Otherwise fully accessible and plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: One step”

“We were looking for excellent Indian food and tried Chulo for the first time on basis of other reviews. We were not disappointed!! Food is varied and high quality. Our son lived in Nepal and said best Momos since he left Nepal. Try Chulo!!”

“Pruducto excelente sabor muy bueno”

“This place has the best pizza in newton/watertown hands down. It is always consistently top notch quality. Their buffalo chicken Caesar salad is also one of the best that I’ve had. Highly recommend!!”

“A kind lady attended to me, and she brightened my day. She made it clear to me that the items being sold are to bring joy to people who are walking nearby and want something to take with them! it produces an industrial level.”

“This place is amazing- We came to visit for our Boston trip for the weekend and we decided to eat at this place. Not only the prices are cheap, but the food quality and portions make it AMAZING. I would 💯 recommend to eat at this place anytime. You will not regret it.”

“Happened to be in Watertown, googled nearby restaurants for lunch and Halfway cafe came up as a suggestion. It was only a mile away, so I decided to try it out. In business since 1964, it turned out to be a lively place with friendly staff and good food. I ordered a beer, which came with a small bowl of movie theater popcorn to much in while I waited for my grilled chicken sandwich. I enjoyed my yummy lunch while watching the French open on one of the large screen tv’s. A nice place to hang if you find yourself in Watertown.”

“Love their hand pulled noodles (especially the you puo mian) and their liang pi!!! Great for a casual dine in meal or takeout!

FYI Cash only below $15.”

“I'm a burger and beer guy, and come here pretty regular. Just found out the other day they have weekday lunch specials, flatbreads and sliders with a choice of sides, great value for the price. Service is always friendly and chill. I usually sit at the bar and the bartenders are consistently good. Best place in the area for watching College and NFL football. Big place, can accommodate big groups (had my fantasy draft there, 16 people, they nailed it.)”

“Standard pizza and sub shop, but the food is delicious, and the service goes above and beyond. My boyfriend and I always order takeout from D&D. They are super kind, efficient, accommodating, and the food is always on point. Would 100% recommend

Dietary restrictions: Menu options are made to order”

“my usual go to starbucks on the weekends although this morning I wasn't very happy with having to wait 10-15 min for my drinks after my food order came out very quickly. the place wasn't even busy! 5 people behind the place and only one person making drinks one person taking orders one person making food orders. the other two walking around aimlessly. the barista making the drinks decided it was a good time to make himself an espresso as he started making my refreshers and when he drank it it dribbled from his mouth all over his shirt so he had to stop what he was doing to go clean up. not even a sorry about the wait after he put my drinks on the bar for pick up. also why are employees parking in the 2-hour customer parking spots, the signage suggests those are for customers only who I going to be there for 2 hours or less. considering it's a very small parking lot for customers I don't think employees should be parking there and taking up the space.”

“Chicken lo mein is mid, but the scallion pancakes are fresh and crispy, and Rick serves a stiff SB, but
I love this place for more than its good and reasonably priced fare. There’s a certain curb appeal that comes from having no windows that more modern establishments are still struggling to grasp. Rick is the most gracious host/server/bartender, and I welcome any additional business in his direction even if it’s just to hear his genuine, “You’re welcome,” each and every time you politely thank him for something. It’s fun to go for some drinks with a few friends when it’s dead, and fun to go to celebrate your birthday when it’s popping. Give it a whirl!”

“Atmosphere here is great! I go every weekend to this location after rowing on the Charles. The atmosphere is wonderful and the staff are very kind! The boba tea is delicious- I recommend the grapefruit green tea or milk tea which are both refreshing. The grapefruit green tea is especially perfectly sweet! I personally like this location over newbury street.”

“The steak fajita plate is perfectly seasoned and tender. This restaurant also has affordable house margaritas. The staff are friendly. They even bring my daughter a non-spicy salsa.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment. Sometimes the playing music can be loud. Changing table available in one of the restrooms.

Wheelchair accessibility: The back entrance is accessible.”

“Hafez House of Kebab is a standout for anyone who loves authentic Persian cuisine. The kebabs are perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender perfection—each bite bursts with rich flavors that keep you coming back for more.

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly and attentive, making every visit feel like a special dining experience. Whether you’re a fan of traditional kebabs or trying them for the first time, Hafez House of Kebab is an absolute must-visit!”

“Finally tried this local legend! We're so glad we did. Got a Sicilian pie - cooked to perfection, fresh ingredients, yummy sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and an amazing crust. This is genuine pizza. The kind that is rare now. The Arancini was delicious too. The best part - how well everything heated the next day - few pizzas are so delicious second day now. They're so thin, charred, dry. This Sicilian pie heated up beautifully on day 2. It's the pizza of many people's childhoods - authentic! And the staff could not be nicer, helpful, friendly. A+”

“Arguably the best Sichuan restaurant in Boston, better than mountain house. High variance depending on the dish you’re ordering and the chef chef’ing but I’ve never had a bad la zi ji, beef tripe appetizer, or twice cooked pork.”

“We order food to go from this place very often and it’s always 10/10! Burritos (have tried chicken, steak and pork) are so good and their birria tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had. Service is always great and they are very friendly!”

“It's as good as it gets if you like Cantonese cuisine. The classics—har gow, siu mai, cheong fun and char siu sou are fantastic, but don't make miss the desserts: egg tarts, lau sar bao and durian puffs. Bring your friends!”

“Clean, quick and friendly service on a Sunday morning. I’ve visited this location for a few years now and the Starbucks app still has the WRONG pin on the map but the right street address.

Use Google maps for the right address or see the picture I posted.”

“The food is always fresh and delicious! Love the ‘Shroom burger and the crinkle-cut fries.”

“I love this place ,this place is my favorite place ,Becouse everything is fresh and almost 50% is homemade,the staff is very professional,and the new owner they change many things in this pizzeria In good way !!”

“It was nice to see something different”

“great waiter tonight with his funny face mask 🎭 .. great wine the lemon pasta is to die for I'm love with this place .. great recommendetion thank you for your hospitality 😊 also a restaurant chef and I give 5*****”
