New American Restaurants near Wayland, MA

“The food was great!! The service, I should say our service was very poor. We waited over 47 minutes before we were served our meals. The problem was not the kitchen because a couple who came in after us was served before us. It was the wait staff.“

“Really amazing steak tips!“

“We went to cook on a Sunday for brunch on a table of 5 with 3 kids. Our server was Johnny who not only had everything on point but did absolutely everything to make sure we felt welcome, the kids were entertained (with extra drawings and crayons requests) and all that while he was training another server.

The food was really good (so much so that we plan to come back soon), we had draft and cocktails and we just didn’t try dessert, but the ambiance was nice, wasn’t too full and is definitely a great location to come back to.“

“Wonderful! Great chicken sandwich on amazing bread! Friendly helpful staff. A true joy to find this place and have lunch. This place is very special indeed.“

“I went yesterday with my friend and had a fantastic experience. The food is delicious and the environment is delightful. Highly recommend.“

“Omg YardHouse…… Every time I come to this place-
it’s like the food gets better and better. I ordered the Whiskey Glazed Burger and it was delicious, Sabrina was our waiter that day. She is super sweet and understanding when I experienced a small interruption from my burger.

Then we had Noah and he was very kind in suggesting what new meal to order off the menu. That night I had the best 12o. NY Steak; chef’s kiss. Yall are the bomb!“

“We had a wonderful experience and have returned a few times. All of our dishes were tasty except for the ninebark salad. It was delicious although for the price they were extremely skimpy with the lettuce, and I finished my salad and watched everyone else enjoy their dishes. If you charge that price point for a salad I believe you should be generous with the foundation of the dish which is lettuce.“

“This was our first visit to 80 Thoreau and we were very happy with the experience. The food was great with unique menu options. The service struck the right balance in terms of being there at the appropriate times. And the atmosphere and noise level was great even though the restaurant was full. We definitely had a nice time!“

“Looking for dinner options along Moody Street and this was an easy choice. I've been to Dallas and had a fun evening in their Deep Ellum neighborhood so why would I skip the opportunity to try it again.

Lots of options here, considering we have meat eaters, pescatarians and kosher eaters in the group tonight. We started off with a plate of their pickles and they were fabulous. With it, beers! Including a draft German beer for me and a tin of a non-alcoholic for Mrs. K.

For main, I chose the Italian sandwich and it was fabulous. Well loaded and very tasty if perhaps a little messy. But that's what napkins are for. Mrs. K. chose the grilled cheese and said it was excellent.

Great service here and we had a fabulous evening. Five stars!“

“always excellent meals and sides“

“We have had breakfast lunch at Eli’s several times, and have always had a great experience. Creative offerings, delicious food, large portions, great service. If we lived closer, we would eat there more often. Highly recommend!“

“I didn't expect anything but the usual chains at a highway rest stop, but this place looked better than McDonalds so I got the chipotle mac & cheese and the broccoli cheddar soup. Both were great! Glad to know there's a place like this on the Pike.“

“Wonderful restaurant and bar located in a lovely suburban setting. When you arrive, you are always greeted with a smile and it feels like home. The atmosphere and the food are top notch and you always feel better after having gone there!“

“What a find! This is close to our doctor's office and a Trader Joe's, so we noticed it. Saw it's often busy. Checked it out today. Wonderful! In these times, very upscale for the price. Delicious well made food. Nice atmosphere and lovely staff. Shared a pepperoni pizza, arugula salad, and homemade donut bites for dessert. The pizza was perfect - crust, sauce, toppings - all quality. Nice dressing on the fresh arugula salad. Those Nutella donut bites - yummy. Wish there was a place this good at this price in our hometown. Have not found one yet.“

“Everything was great! Service and food was excellent!“

We had the crab cake, beet salad, halibut and fish tacos, everything was fantastic, even the coffee with dessert was a notch above the rest!! Service was friendly and attentive, we will be back to see Courtney!! Thank you for an outstanding meal, it was a perfect relaxing evening to end a long week.“

“I just discovered this gem after moving from Philly to Natick 2 years ago. I am obsessed. It was like I was eating my mom’s or grandmom’s best and freshest homemade soups (which nothing has ever been able to compare to until now). Low sodium options are amazing - you can’t find from scratch, quality ingredient made stuff like this easily. I will be a regular customer!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Great service, food and atmosphere! Sadie is top-notch and Chef Dan's kitchen does an amazing job.“

We also ordered the chicken and bacon rigatoni, the wings and a burger with Cajun fries. Everything was excellent. Burger made to order. Pasta perfectly cooked and everything was very well seasoned. Portions were amazing. We forgot to take pictures because we were really hungry.“

“I recently stayed here for a work conference. The hotel rooms were spacious, cozy and modern. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby bar and restaurant was beautiful and the food was very good. Meeting spaces were very nice.“

“Local live music on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Great staff, fantastic food, creative drinks, nice beer selection.“

“Kaua was an excellent host for us at the Pantry restaurant at The Verve Hotel Boston Natick. He was very welcoming when we came in the door. Was available if we needed anything. All around very helpful and made breakfast a very nice relaxed experience.“

“Great food and great service..👍“

“During our recent stay at Fairfield in Framingham, we dined at their in-house restaurant. We were instantly welcomed by Katie, the hostess, so we opted to sit at the bar. She was quick to deliver finely prepared drinks as we browsed the menu. There were several options that kept us undecided but we both agreed on the ribeye steak dinner and were beyond pleased with the quality and flavor of the meal. Katie kept us entertained with quick witted chat and top notch service for us and the (by-now) full bar. Truly needed after a long day of travel!“

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

“Un ambiente elegante y muy relajado, con un menú delicioso, lo mejor de la noche para mi fue el plato de Salmón, estaba espectacular, la atención excelente, la amabilidad de la persona que nos atendió increíble, en español y portugués, nos sentimos a gusto de verdad, volveremos muy pronto👌“

“Got the Chickpea Fritter Platter and absolutely loved it! As a college student, it can be really hard sometimes to find places with good healthy food that doesn't break the bank! I’m happy to say the platter was reasonably priced since it comes with enough stuff to make two meals out of it, and it is absolutely delicious and healthy!“

“Always enjoy eating at Tony C’s Burlington and will continue to do so - Last visit, a group of us had lunch and found the haddock and fries had a bit too much Cajun type seasoning which was not advertised or ordered - Our same group had lunch there a year ago and the food was not seasoned - Unfortunately a few of my friends will not to return - Good experience otherwise - Thanks“

“They had a make your own bouquet of flowers for Mother's Day. This was such a nice touch and the food was delicious. Our server brought my young kids the fruit that came with their meals ahead of when the rest was ready, anyone with young kids knows how helpful this is. The food was delicious as always.“

“GREAT staff. Our waiter was fabulous. Food was delicious. Steak tips and baked fish were so good. Warm cookie with vanilla ice cream for dessert was outstanding.“

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

“The 2 of us had dinner in the Liberty Tavern, very small and historically quaint. The bartender took care of our drink and food order and the team brought food to our table. Within 30 minutes the place was full. The bartender juggled the entire room like a seasoned pro (along with the team bringing food out to everyone). Very impressed with the overall experience and our day visiting the area. Will be back again!“

“Kens steak house is a metro west gem! The reasonably priced meals, quality of the food, and very friendly wait staff. This is my wife and my “go to” restaurant when we want a great meal at a reasonable price, When you waking into Kens it feel “comfortable” like it’s your own home . The wait staff are so friendly and patient. They never rush you and are very knowledgeable about the menu. The steaks are the specialty of the house. Each time we’ve had steak it was cooked yo perfection! The drink prices are reasonable and the desserts taste home made! Great place and I hope they are around for many more years!!“

“Tough to choose; everything was great.. Delicious food, amazing cocktails..“

“good food great service great time“

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

“Great place for a Friday afternoon drink and app! Bartenders are great!“

“⸻ We had such a wonderful Easter brunch experience at the Riverbend! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxing meal. The service was outstanding as well; the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a top-notch brunch experience. We'll definitely be back!“

“Awesome staff and management; both go above and beyond to enhance your experience“

“Outstanding Wagyu rib eye!“

“The meal deal with the piezooki was good. I had the chicken Parm with spaghetti. Even though the chicken was nice and warm the spaghetti lacked flavor. But don't get me wrong I loved the chicken Parm. I loved the strawberry shortcake piezooki that came highly recommended by our server Cole. And he didn't stear us wrong it's now my favorite. Cole our waiter was warm and friendly and even though the restaurant was very busy he always took the time to stop at our table to see how we were doing.
I would go there again. Very clean ample parking and convenient location to get to“

“We’ve been to CPK multiple times, and it’s always a great experience. The food is consistently delicious and served promptly, but what really stands out is the service. Our server, Bandana, has made several of our visits extra special. She’s attentive, friendly, and genuinely cares about creating a great dining experience. Her thoughtful recommendations and warm attitude keep us coming back. CPK is lucky to have her on the team!“
