Restaurants in Watertown

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

“Great food and great service! I even got gluten free chicken parm and spaghetti which was excellent! They have a wonderful food and drink menu. Our server Jess was was excellent as well. The manager Nick greeted us when we came in and found us a great table by the window. So the bottom line is, this is a great restaurant and I'm so happy we found this little gem! We will be back!”

“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.”

“The best chicken..:definitely”

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención”

“What a fun place!! Like stepping back in time in the best sense and the food and service and everything is top notch. We will definitely be back!!”

“Amazing food and drinks! A small and friendly spot in the heart of Watertown! I highly recommend all the drinks and have not been disappointed trying the multiple slush drinks. Be sure to add your favorite toppings. My new favorite place in Watertown for a good sandwich and drink to pick up and go to the local park to eat! Do not miss out on this local spot!”

“Sevan Bakery is amazing! Fresh, healthy, and unique prepared meals that are always top quality. Nuran, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming. This isn’t just a bakery, it’s a little community hub that’s been part of the neighborhood for years. Highly recommend!”

“Cede was the best server ever!! She was so nice and so accommodating. My friends had a nut allergy and she was so understanding, and made sure to go out of her way for us! The food was so yummy too.”

“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!”

“We had a wonderful family dinner at Halva Kebab and it was truly a great experience from start to finish! My husband, my son, and I ordered the mixed grill along with several appetizers, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, the portions were generous, and every dish we tried was outstanding.
What makes this place extra special is that it’s a family business — you can feel the warmth and care in both the food and the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so welcome.
If you’re looking for amazing food and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere in Watertown, Halva Kebab is the place to go. We will definitely be coming back!”

“Amazing food! Best Persian food in MA! Clean! Friendly staff. Reasonable pricing.”

“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.”

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

“Had the wild mushroom pizza. Absolutely delicious Fries were also delicious But the chocolate cake and vegan vanilla ice cream cream was to die for! Highly recommend”

“One of our favorite restaurants! We love going there for the friendly service and delicious kababs.”

“Great place especially if you’re a brew aficionado. (I am not.) Went with some long-time friends for dinner. They are beer fans and they spent quite a while discussing the many thousands of options.

The food was pretty good. Not overly-large-typically-American portions. I got the mac and cheese just cuz I like mac and cheese. Our apps were good too.

The waitstaff is great. Very knowledgeable and polite.

It’s pretty loud there even though it’s sort of an indoor/outdoor place. We sat inside but it was so nice out that they opened their bay (think garage) doors so the breeze could waft through. It ended up being a bit cold but was fine.

This is a great dinner or happy hour restaurant. Highly recommend!!!

Oh and for dinner *definitely* make reservations. Or else risk a very long wait.”

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices”

“The dumplings were really yummy and fresh. Our noodle soups were okay, nothing impressive though. I liked the flavor of my sour and spicy broth. It was yummy to try hand pulled noodles though hated how much they stuck together. Crab rangoons and egg rolls were really average here.”

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

“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!”

“I am crying. Beef tough is like kissing my girl. A large collection of Japanese spirits at very reasonable affordable price. Everyone who go to Kura should come here instead.”

“Awesome food and vibe. Very good waitress but I can't remember her name. Tolerated all of our nonsense. Though, she's never seen the princess bride and that is not great.”

“We hosted an event at Branch Line on June 6, 2026, and it was an amazing experience! We started planning in January (special shoutout to event director, Deena). They were accommodating, organized, and a pleasure to work with! On event day, everything was set up and ready to go. Shoutout to Merrick & the Serving team for their professionalism and all-around positive attentiveness. The food was absolutely delicious (we couldn’t get enough of the sticky ribs) and the drinks were on point.

If you are looking for a venue for your special event, look no further, Branch Line is the place to be!”

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

“The best falafel I’ve ever had. My wife finished nine out of 12 of these in less than five minutes driving away from the store… We turned around in order two dozen more. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere is no frills but all delicious”

“Great food at a reasonable price that is always fresh. Prompt, friendly service by nice people.”

“Me and my gf come here regularly, love the food, atmosphere, and the service has never been less than spectacular. We don’t typically get any drinks but if your looking for a good spot to stop in for a beer you’ve found one.”

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

“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.”

“Cute, cozy cafe with some delicious signature lattes. My favorite is the tiger brown sugar latte. Fresh baked goods are available too. Support your local small business, but be prepared to take everything to go because there are only 3 counter seats inside so not the kind of cafe where you can park with a laptop for hours.”

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

“The #1 of best diner 🍽 I've had the pleasure 😍of enjoying everything I've ever order there🤗. More years to come and more to eat😋.”

“Always loved the staff and vibe here. They've never failed and always make the community a better place especially in an elitist sort of area like this.

Just really disheartened the mocha went up to $7.50 before tax, I cannot believe it after so many years of reasonable pricing.

As someone who splits their time between Watertown / Cambridge and Seattle in Washington state, I have yet to find another cafe crafted mocha set at the price of $7.50 between both coasts.”

“Food was great as usual. Sometimes an ingredient doesn’t show up (like mandarin oranges last night) but the flavors are great. The price is reasonable. Customization options are plentiful. Only problem last night was it took more than an hour to be delivered and we live 5 minutes away. (And no, we couldn’t get to the restaurant).”

“Amazing restaurant! one of the best Malai kofta's i have ever had. Recommend onion pakora as well. They were super crispy. Amazing value as well. If I had to pick only a small bone it's that the green chutney was quite bland. Other than that, everything was great.”

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

“always excellent food and service!”

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

“Very good flavorful food, not too overwhelming with ingredients, pretty simple protein+ +vegetable+carb. Very generous portions at a very fair price.
A perfect healthy take out, go for it.”

“Highly recommended! Super delicious and nice service :)”

“Arsenal Pizza is our go-to pizza shop. Their pies are incredible, from a simple plain cheese to lots of toppings. We also love their chicken fingers and fries! Fast service, great prices, and a family-owned business. The best!”

“Has a great seafood platter fried clams Were especially tender”

“Ugh okay. So I really like this place. They have great specialty coffees and great breakfast sandwiches. BUT I ordered lunch the other day and was highly disappointed when I got a Caesar salad with chicken and paid $20 for this…. Very disappointing.”

“The roast beef is cooked perfectly. It is cold but it is really really good. The BBQ sauce made that sandwich smack. I give them an 8 out of 10. I'm glad I stopped by.”

“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.”

“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”

“Ive lived in the area for 7 years and drove by this place many times and never felt inspired to check it out based on its curb appeal. Inside its a standard mid-sized local sports bar that I get the sense has a loyal local following. To my surprise food was above average and staff was very very friendly. Full bar, but limited draft selection if your a beer snob this probably isnt your spot.”

“Quebrada in Watertown generously donated to the nearby elementary school for our annual cultural event this year – they are a huge supporter of the local community. Their pastries and desserts are delicious - yum :)”

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Pizza Roma, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best pizza spots around. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and made with real care — you can taste the quality in every bite. What truly makes this place special, though, is the owner, Giordano. He runs the place with passion, professionalism, and genuine respect for every customer. It’s clear that he takes pride not only in the food but also in creating a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels appreciated. Huge respect to Giordano for maintaining such high standards and building a place people trust and enjoy. If you want great pizza and great service, pizza Roma is the place to go.”

“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.”

“Pruducto excelente sabor muy bueno”

“D&D Pizza generously donates to the nearby elementary school for our annual cultural event every year – they are a huge supporter of the local community. Definitely check them out!!”

“Delicious food, quality ingredients. Gracious service!”

“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.”

“The employees were nice and friendly. They usually have food stocked and ready to go so theres not a huge wait, least there hasnt been the few times i have been. Pizza hut is my favorite pizza, and i think their breadsticks are the best.”

“This site is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I love it most. I never miss an opportunity to go to visit this place. when I feel like having a proper dinner, this place comes immediately to my head. Great and many types of food and a large menu.courteous crew, and pleasant ambience. Not less important, the bill is modest. I tell about this place with pleasure.”

“It’s about half an hour west of Boston Metro area, could be traffic, and in the middle of nowhere. I’s inside a mall with plenty of parking. Most importantly, the Dim Sums is really good and service is pretty attentive. Though the place is big, it could still be a long wait at peak hours. But they provide a pager to buzz you when your table is ready. So you can do some shopping while waiting for a table.”

“Oct2022: 4⭐: I would recommend visiting this location if you are shopping in the location. I was in the department store shopping and came across this location. Some of my family members decided to try the specialty drinks. I got tea, they each selected a coffee of some kind. They were happy to receive the drink and enjoyed the beverage. We are on vacation in the area and selected some pastries as well. The personnel were fine during our visit. The drinks and pastries were pretty good too.”

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious”

“This is the best pizza in the Newton/Watertown/Waltham area. It’s the crunchy Greek-style crust that my wife and I love most. It’s just one guy doing it all by himself, so just avoid using the bathroom there. But he’s got the pizza making part down.”

“Two nights ago, I had a great experience choosing and enjoying my drink with the wonderful help from Chelsea and Zlata. Both gave me great feedback on which drink would suit my cravings best, and were very comforting and accommodating even though I took a long time! Would definitely recommend their drinks!”

“The cheese dip was smooth and spicy. The chicken tamales were authentic tasting but a little heavy on the Masa to chicken ratio. All of it was satisfying and very filling. I would also recommend the aroz con pollo as being flavorful and satisfying. Overall, a pleasure to dine here. There's no longer an attempt to classify menu items as 'gluten-free' or not, but my wife had the tortilla soup with no I'll effects, so there's one.

Compared to other Mexican restaurants, your food is delivered reasonably quickly. I can't say that for most other places and the quality is always consistantly good and satisfying.”

“I am a regular, probably more often than I should. I get my usual Power Protein smoothie, which is amazing, but I’ve also tried other food and bowls, and everything I’ve had is great.

Moreover, the staff there is amazing!!! Everyone is so friendly and nice, and the service is always fast and super high quality!”

“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.”

“Best place around since I lived here for 2 years I finally found my favorite spot from the way the restaurants set up is beautiful food is always fresh never disappointed thank you”

“A very solid Dunkin' with extremely fast service and ample seating. I had the breakfast sausage sandwich on a croissant, whose butteriness hit the spot, and a hot pumpkin spice latte, which was a bit too sweet for me but good, coming in a nice holiday cup.”

“It's been up and down over the years(as is expected in this economy and a hole in the wall) but lately it's been AWESOME, super moist fried chicken, perfectly seasoned collard greens, great portions, fast, just cannot ask for more. So glad to have this in the neighborhood”

“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.”

“I go to a lot of different Dunkin’s in the area and this one is my favorite. I get refreshers with protein milk a lot and this is the only one where it doesn’t curdle. Every other Dunkin I’ve ever been to the milk ends up looking gross (tastes fine but looks awful) thank you to this Dunkin you are my favorite to go to!! The people are also always so nice as well”

“I just wanted to leave a review for Sintayehu at Dunkin. She was working alone and still managed to handle everything so quickly and professionally. We ordered around 5 coffees, and she made them super fast while staying kind, patient, and friendly the whole time. You could tell she was working really hard, and she still gave amazing customer service. Employees like Sintayehu deserve recognition!”

“I’ve been going to Gerry’s Italian Kitchen for a long time, and I’ve always had a great experience. The pizza is consistently delicious, the steak & cheese subs are excellent, and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming.
I’ve seen some of the negative reviews, and honestly, many of them seem to be about very small issues. Every restaurant makes mistakes once in a while there isn’t a single place that’s perfect 100% of the time. What really matters is how they respond, and from my experience, the staff has always been willing to listen and make things right.
Gerry’s is a hardworking local business that deserves support. If you’re looking for great Italian food and friendly service, I’d definitely recommend giving them a try.”

“The service was super fast and so friendly! I really enjoyed it—I’ll definitely be back!
I left the hospital with so much on my mind, but I felt so much better at this café. That’s why they say a pregnant woman never forgets who treats her well!
Thanks, girls!”

“Great salad! Awesome and friendly staffs.”

“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!”

“Excellent food, service and welcoming space! This was probably our 5th time eating at Condesa and it is consistent. Plenty of free garage parking. Greeted warmly, seated quickly in a buzzing atmosphere with nice decor. There's a bar, high tops, booths and tables by the windows. We've had Diego A. as our server multiple times and he is fabulous! Plenty of cocktails or beer to choose from - excellent margarita's btw. The food is delish - nice menu of options and if you have a question or special food requirement, it's not a problem at all. Very reasonably priced too. It's definately part of our restaurant rotation when we want a nice dining experience and terrific food. Kudos to the entire management and staff!”

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

“What a fun place!! Like stepping back in time in the best sense and the food and service and everything is top notch. We will definitely be back!!”

“I saw the massive amount of negative reviews on this Chiptole and decided to check it out myself. Granted, I did go at 10pm, my experience was better than the majority. Portions were as expected and surprisingly fresh which was a pro. I expected less since the place was dead and it was late, but I was happy with the quality. After thoroughly expecting, this was a solid spot. Price was about $15 for a chicken al pastor bowl and small drink. Would come back, ignore the haters”

“Food was great as usual. Sometimes an ingredient doesn’t show up (like mandarin oranges last night) but the flavors are great. The price is reasonable. Customization options are plentiful. Only problem last night was it took more than an hour to be delivered and we live 5 minutes away. (And no, we couldn’t get to the restaurant).”

Be sure to add your favorite toppings. My new favorite place in Watertown for a good sandwich and drink to pick up and go to the local park to eat! Do not miss out on this local spot!”

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

“The best chicken..:definitely”

“I really wanted to give this restaurant 5 stars because their veggie taco, quesadilla, and all of their salsas were so good. However, the veggie tamales were sadly quite dry and had too much corn for the amount of filling.

I will certainly be back because everything else was too tier. I’d highly recommend checking this place out, but based on my experience today, avoid the veggie tamales.”

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

“Chicken Caesar Wrap was very delicious, as well as my oat milk iced latte with honey & lavender, most of their flavors are made in-house! Also place is very chill and quite.”

“This is my second time here and boyyyyy did they not disappoint!!!!! I always get the chocolate chip cookies 🍪. They are very warm, soft and lovely😏.

Yeah....I most definitely will be coming back again for a 3rd 😁time. Chip City is in a great location, very spacious and clean.

Kev & Izaiah where very friendly, professional, and extremely helpful 👏.
Answered all questions asked.

-Lennie”

““It was my first visit, and I stopped by for lunch. The staff member who assisted me, whose name on the receipt appeared as Breseida, recommended the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, which turned out to be exceptional—rich in flavor and perfectly balanced. The service was impeccable: attentive, courteous, and efficient. They also kindly brought the food to my table, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Without a doubt, a very satisfying visit that I highly recommend.””

“I really enjoy it here. It’s quick friendly and pretty cheap. I just need them to realize that if you’re touching lunch meat my tuna shouldn’t taste like cold cuts. I got tomatoes today that I didn’t ask for. She opened up my sandwich with the same gloves she made everyone else’s with took the tomatoes off, dipped her hands in the pickles and then rolled my food back up. As I’m eating my food taste like meat. That was kinda gross. But not did I feel like I could say anything because she was the only one with an attitude. It wasn’t worth it so I didn’t bother but that was not ok. At least the guy changed his gloves after taking my cash…”
