“I love StockYard. We haven't been in a long time as we moved faraway. Now, after 10 years we came back and it was like we never stopped coming to eat here. The food was super delicious. The NY Sirloin, and the tenderness of the Fille Minog was extraordinary. Outstanding customer service. The drinks were superb. And the complimentary chocolate cake with ice cream for Father's day was out of this world. Thank you.“

“india Pizza in Lexington, MA - A Hidden Gem. I recently visited India Pizza in Lexington, MA, for the first time and wasn't sure what to order. I decided on fried chicken and fried vegetable rice, which turned out to be an awesome choice. The rice came out first, and it was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crisp, just the way I like it, even though I didn't request it that way. The customer service was top-notch—very professional. I only interacted with one staff member, but the service was fast, and I didn't have to wait long for anything. I highly recommend you try their food. I'll definitely be coming back. Excellent service all around! I'm not a person who try different culture foods. The reviews sold me. The Service I received again was top notch 👌 👍“

“Great pizza and staff. Chef worked her buns off. A great sign.“

“the macarons are delicious“

“Cacao is a small cafe located in Newton Highlands, specializing in chocolate related confectionery and drinks.

We came in during the afternoon, and it was quite busy but the staff were very accommodating and knew the menu quite well, recommending some things to try out. They had a large assortment of pre-assembled goods to buy, such as chocolate covered nuts, as well as hot chocolate mix.

We tried the hot chocolate and the dulce de leche. The portion size was reasonable for the price, and the chocolate was pretty good. The hot chocolate was made primarily of dark chocolate, which isn't my favorite, but turned out to be a good choice as it cooled down and became more rich.

Overall, a great experience and would definitely come back to try again.“

“The Dooliner has a wonderful neighborhood atmosphere, great food and friendly service. Highly recommended!“

“Without any doubt, 5 out of 5 stars ?!

I recently had one of the most, if not the most, delicious pizzas in my life at Pizza By Rocco in Natick, Mass. Even though it may be considered a hidden gem, I doubt it will be considered a hidden gem for much longer as more and more people hear about it and try the food out for themselves!

Each time I have introduced a friend to Rocco's, every single one of them has said that this is some of the best pizza they've ever had.

The crust has that sweet thin crispy taste, and is cooked to perfection. The sauce always has just the right amount and also has a great taste. The toppings are always fresh, more than generous with the amount given, and expertly balanced. In fact, the pizzas and all of the food items in general are more than generous in terms of how much you're getting. In terms of ambiance, although the store is small it still has an inviting and cozy feel to it, and offers some seating outside. Last but certainly not least, the service is no doubt top shelf service. Everyone here is very friendly, attentive, and lightning-fast with their food preparation. Carol, who takes the orders, legitimately sets the very warm and welcoming tone right away with her effortless affability and enthusiastic aura and smile. Red, the pizza/food maker, is a master at his craft and is very personable too. As one can tell simply by the quality of the food, it is clear to see that Red takes his work seriously and is proficient at his job. All of the people who prepare the food here put their strongest efforts into the process; this is food that is made from a place of sincere love!

Rocco himself is at the shop quite often and he goes above and beyond with regards to looking out for his customers. This aspect was something that truly stood out to me about this place and sets Pizza By Rocco above all the rest for me personally. For example, Rocco is very genuine, and is an incredibly generous person and that generosity spills over into his work. His genuine personality is noticeable right away when you meet him. If a customer has any issue with anything, he makes sure to do whatever it takes to ensure said customer is taken care of and leaves the shop happy and satisfied. Not every store owner makes it a point to do things like that. It just goes to show that Rocco and his fellow workers really care about their customers, which is probably why the store has so many repeat and loyal customers.

The menu has your usual favorites/go-to items, but also has some fun and creative specialty options as well. The Buffalo Chicken thin crust pizza is extremely popular and a must try favorite! One of the specialty options that made a great impression on me was the "Typical Johnny," which can best be described as literally a "Big Mac" on a pizza. The only difference is that the Typical Johnny is even better and tastier than an actual Big Mac!

I cannot stress enough how much I recommend Pizza by Rocco for all the pizza lovers out there, and for those who like to support local businesses. I had such a great experience there that I have been back a bunch of times since my first visit. If you come here to try it out, I can guarantee you that you will be coming back for more. It is just *that* good!

Thank you very much Pizza By Rocco for providing me with such a wonderful and extraordinary experience each time I come to your shop! This place is easily one of my favorite places to go. There really is no better pizza around. Keep up the incredible work guys!

“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.“

“A friendly place, inside and out, with a delicious variety of ice creams & concoctions (and fudge!)-- an old-time hand-packed ice cream experience for a new generation.“

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

“Amazing accidental find on our part. We did not set out to find this amazing Argentinian empenada café, but we are so happy we did. There were over 20 different types of empenada still available that day with some varieties already sold out, vegetarian, beef, pork, and chicken; multiple types of each. Plus very friendly and accommodating staff and fast service. Food was delicious.“

“7th Wave is a great local brewery that has a good range of brews on hand. However, they also have some of the best pizza in the entire area. Great Neapolitan-style pizza, seriously. Been a fan for years and the beers have only improved.“

“Great hotdogs and great service. They care about the community as well.“

“This is going to be a long one but the short of it? This place is a must-try! I visited with a group in the evening. The drink menu offers all the classic boba flavors you'd expect, along with some unique twists like a soda lemonade drink that was super refreshing on a hot day. It’s the perfect spot to catch up with friends, with plenty of seating, including cozy spots in the back if you want to get some work done as WiFi is available.
We weren’t planning to eat, but ended up ordering the popcorn chicken. It was the perfect snack. Later, we ordered their chicken teriyaki. The food is freshly made by the owner’s mother, which makes the whole experience feel extra special and fresh.
Beyond the food and drinks, this shop is full of surprises: handmade teas, press-on nails, and original artwork created by the owner, who is an incredible artist. You can purchase prints or postcards of their work, which adds such a personal and creative touch to the space. This is a family-owned gem with heart, flavor, and creativity. I already can’t wait to go back!“

“The best pizza and sandwich’s around delicious 😋 best customer service when you have an issue with door dash thank so much harry for lunch 🥰“

“Pizza is too salty. Most of the ingredients contain lots of sodium so try to cut down on the added salt“

“So, we had planned on, reservations for eating outside but a rain storm moved in. They were able to accommodate us (party of 3) at the bar. The bar staff were amazing. The food was excellent and the beer was cold and excellent. We'll definitely go back.“

“My favorite brewery, always a nice selection, everyone can find something they like. Lots of entertainment; trivia, bingo, live music. Their merch is nicely done too. Food trucks and lawn games outside with lots of seating. Big big screen for sports, place never gets too rowdy. There is an arcade for young and old alike, bathrooms clean, nice staff. Don't forget to grab a 4-pack on your way out“

“Taco 🌮 Pastor, grilled habanero salsa and a Modelo draft 🍻 for lunch.“

“It's the Simply Things.... After a stressful day at work or it's mid-week and you're looking for just something to get you through... drop by Flora's Wine Bar. This is my go to place for great drinks and food. James and Corey will surely make you feel at home.“

“love the food. love the patio. love the family environment.“

“Everything Is So Great Here. The Hot Sausage Brings Me Back To When I Was A Kid. They Are Fantastic!!“

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

“Seemed a little odd that the restaurant appears to be part of an apartment complex, but that thought dissipated once we were inside. Our server (forget her name) was super kind, welcoming, friendly, attentive but not overbearing- she was great! We had a large party of 9 and she handled it perfectly. The spinach dip and meatballs were both very good, would definitely recommend. I got the chicken, broccoli, ziti pasta and it was AMAZING!! Everyone else was really happy with their meals- chicken parm, calabrian chicken sandwich, baked haddock, etc. and my kids loved their kids meals. We got chocolate mouse cake for dessert and it was a little dry and boring, would skip that next time. Overall, would definitely return!!“

“my favorite rest. they are the best.ask for george!“

“This family-owned bakery and donut shop offers a warm, inviting atmosphere and is nut-free for peace of mind. They handcraft all of their baked goods, including custom specialty cakes (with advanced orders). The moment you walk in, you'll feel right at home. Their donuts are so delicious you'll find yourself craving more, and the coffee is top-notch, brewed with great quality beans. The menu features a variety of donuts, pastries, and breakfast sandwiches—all at affordable prices. In addition, they create custom cakes, cookies, and cupcakes for any occasion. This bakery truly goes above and beyond to deliver excellent quality and service to their customers.“

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

“The feeling that filled my heart in this moment was one finding a long lost love. One that you had once, one that eventually drifted apart due to whatever circumstances, and then finding each other again in the most unexpected moment and regaining that wonderful traction of a friendship all over again. Yes, I’m talking about food.

It was once a tale of two spots. One in Watertown and one right here. As I resided in closer to the Watertown location since the move here, I frequented it and found solace in their dishes - absolute comfort food that was done very well. However, like all businesses, things change and eventually the business was sold. I knew there was a transition period and the owner and chefs stuck around to “train” the new owners. I hoped that the “good” would remain and that the new owners would continue the tradition of wonderfully curated dishes and keep the regulars coming back. Did it happen? No. I gave them about a month of repeated visits to gauge their level of culinary competence but it never came through.

Long story short. I stopped going and that feeling of lost love began to fester.

I didn’t think much of it. I thought he had sold this place too since I’ve often overheard him saying how hard it was to run this business to his associates as he tried to satisfy every customer walking in the door or ringing the phone off the hook. So when I finally found a chance to be on this side of town, I decided to stop by and give it a shot. Maybe, maybe I thought, the new owners here would do a much better take on what they had taken over.

What I didn’t expect after placing an order was to see the owner walking out from the kitchen with dishes in hand to serve another table. Eyes wide open, I couldn’t help but say, “HEY! Good to see you again.” He in return showed the same look and smiled greeting me back with fondness and delight.

That’s when I spoke to the lady and asked more about the whole situation, wherein she explained how they sold the other place but kept this one. Regulars of the other spot now take the 15-20 minute drive just to come up here instead for a meal. I smiled. It made sense. They must have felt robbed when they went back after the place was sold. Food wasn’t even remotely the same. Don’t even talk about service either.

Anyways, long story short, when the food came out. I felt this completeness return back to my soul. Here, once again, I felt home away from home. The food did me justice. The flavors impeccable. The culinary finesse was displayed thoroughly with each bite. So it is, once again, I found my long lost love again in Boston and can’t wait to be here every single Sunday for a wonderful special meal that teleports me back to what “Home Tastes” like.“

“I love the Bakehaus. Cushings Square has been made infinitely more delicious and the outside seating is summery and lovely!“

“The food is super fresh! I had the “The dirty monkey” smoothie…..the same! Fresh and delicious. Definitely a must try!“

“I have been coming here for about 3-4 months now and when I tell you the food is amazing, it is AMAZING. Rachid the owner is always so welcoming, polite, family oriented and personable. I love it here. I have brought friends and family to this location and they love it here too. Amazing. Please come down and check this place out if you haven’t. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Rachid and staff for providing such a welcoming place that makes you feel at home.“

“Always tasty and fresh 😋!“

“Maha is a cute little smoothie and bowl shop! I love their build your own smoothie options and bowls. They are fresh and always taste so good. I’ve been to both Norwood and Franklin and haven’t been disappointed. The ladies that work there are sweet as well. Definitely give them a try!“

“Coffee, deli, & ice cream are all amazing!! Highly recommended!!“

“Saw the street sign and had to stop in. Got to meet the owner and he is a real cool guy. 11/10 the food was well priced and some really creative flavors. Food quality came before looks or media. At its core, it is deep dish pizza. Will be coming back“

“Location: use GPS, Then easiest for me was to park on south side of building. Cannot drive along west side of bldg. Entrance around corner, southwest side. Can eat inside , a few small tables.. some picnic tables outside. I think it gets busy based on time of day, season, and if weekday or weekend. About 2 blocks from Norwood center. Selection: both hard and soft serve. Today's pricing average, From kiddie cone, 3 sizes, or dish. Can share the banana splits etc. well done. First time I found it. Will return if in area.

Parking: Near center. Once God gets u to bldg, see other notes.“

“Went in for Grand Opening & it was Great!! I grew up in Newton & have worked in Watertown for over 20 years. I’m so Happy to see what’s happening @ Arsenal Yards!!! Store was Beautiful Staff was attentive & Friendly. Can’t wait to go back next week :)“

“Great location, pick up was quick and easy! Their bubble tea is awesome and they have an awesome variety of flavors and boba options“

“Chipotle chicken Melt on a wrap“

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!“

“Enjoyed the 갈비 비빔밥 (Galbi Bibimbap) which is essentially marinated beef short rib in a mixture of white rice and fresh vegetables and a fried egg. It was delicious and an enjoyable experience watching the food cook in the hot bowl right in front of me. The rice at the bottom crisped up and gave the dish that extra crunch I was not expecting. It was a pleasant surprise and I'd come again.“

“Inviting and comfortable atmosphere with ample seating in 2 adjoining rooms! Many regulars. Simple breakfast menu but unique offerings. Waltham fog tea was delicious! Lunch begins at 11 am. Nice view of lush Waltham common. A little pricey.“

“Very very cool 😎. 😎. 😎 😎“

“I was lucky enough to try their take out on American New Years. Their fried chicken, Char Sui pork, fried pork dumplings, scallion pancake, and fried rice are served hot and are very tasty...fresh ingredients, well prepared. The beef skewers were very tasty. The exterior of their restaurant is painted a cheerful Rose Madder pink. They have wooden Chop sticks and sides of " plum sauce " or, as its also known as , " Duck sauce." I hope to return there soon. This is a popular Waltham Spot. I'm pretty sure ine can order online as well and through Uber, Grub Hub, and Door Dash.“

“As a Waltham local, this is my favorite bubble tea shop in town. My go-to drinks are the Wintermelon Milk Tea with Herbal Jelly and the Coco Cream WOW Milk Cap. I tried their Almond and Taro Milk Teas, but they tasted too powdery for my liking. They have a BOGO deal on Wednesdays which makes coming here even sweeter!“

“Good value for money. Food is good, large variety included in all you can eat menu, raw and hot options, some specials available. Make sure to understand the ordering system and portion sizes for each item: Service is really fast, so don’t order a ton of things in your first order (like we did), you can keep requesting as much more as you can eat at fixed price, also reduced price for kids. Street parking may be somewhat difficult depending on time of day.“
