Restaurants in Central Square

“We have been here a few times, excellent service, very friendly staff, food was delicious, portions were great. Highly recommend this diner to all looking for a nice hometown meal.”

“We stopped for lunch before heading back to Georgia. The Lobsta roll was very good as well as the jalapeño cheeseburger. Fries were crispy. The staff was unbelievably kind.”

“We just left Akropolis and the Gyros were amazing 👏 The lamb meat was so fresh, tasty, and tender. I am assuming the owners, they were the nicest people ever. Also, the restaurant was extremely clean! Thanks for meal ❤️❤️”

“Just had the Adirondack on a sub roll while traveling through and it was perfect! I’ll be back.”

“Pavones has been a staple in my family for years, and it never disappoints. The pizza is true New York–style, with a perfectly crisp crust, rich and flavorful sauce, and a great variety of options to choose from. Everything is consistently fresh and well-made. If you’re looking for authentic, high-quality pizza, this place is definitely worth a visit.”

“I had takeout from It'd Be A Chef Jeff and I’ve gotta say — this place seriously impressed me.
I ordered the haddock dinner, and the fish was fried perfectly. It had that ideal crispy crust on the outside while still being flaky and tender inside — exactly how it should be done. You can tell they know what they’re doing in the kitchen.
I paired it with the macaroni and cheese, and honestly… it tasted just like something I’d make at home — in the best way possible. Super comforting, rich, and not overdone.
The portions were big, too — definitely getting your money’s worth. And what really surprised me was the presentation, even for takeout. Everything was put together clean and professionally, not just thrown in a container.
Between the quality, portion size, and overall care they put into the food, this is easily a go-to spot for both takeout and catering. I’ll definitely be back.”

“awesome place the bartender who took care of me was super nice and very kind i had a big burger and big portion of fries with 2 beers and still was under 20 dollars i was impressed and the food was great”

“I got married on 9/13/2025 at 916 Riverside and it was one of the best wedding related decisions my husband and I made. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception on site and it was absolutely beautiful from start to finish. The ceremony was held outdoors on their patio, and our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how visually stunning it was. We primarily communicated with Jake, the owner, and Brooke, one of the head staff. They were both incredibly helpful and responded immediately whenever we reached out. Anytime I suggested something or asked if it was possible to do X, Y, or Z - Jake accepted with open arms and supported all of our ideas to make our big day personable and meaningful. Planning a wedding is stressful enough, but doing so via Jake and Brooke made it as painless as possible, and that is something I am very grateful for. Staff paid attention to small details and ensured that everything got done in the way we envisioned and requested. At the end of our reception, Jake’s staff cleaned up quickly and packed all decorations and center pieces onto two designated tables, which made it that much easier for my husband and I to pick up and pack up everything the day after. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and there’s truly nothing I can critique. 916 Riverside will always be special to us, and I would recommend them in a heartbeat for any couples who are hunting for a venue. Thank you Jake, Brooke, and all staff at 916 Riverside!”

“love it there!”

“Its clean. Service is fantastic. I've been to sit down restaurants with less attentive staff.”

“I am usually a regular here most of the employees are great, very friendly. But lately the last few times I’ve been here this one girl that works here is obnoxiously rude for no reason. Like she’s bothered to do her job?? She wears glasses and a nose piercing. Other than that this place is great and clean with awesome food!”

“My Favorite place Just wish we can get there special ahead of time”

“Nice little spot, it's not fine dinning now don't get all crazy but for a local spot I think it's a solid spot. I really enjoyed the crab Rangoons and the general tzos. I would recommend this place over the place in camden 7 days a week.”

“Wow, I was there several weeks ago. Got a normal cup of drip coffee. Today tbe coffee serving shrunk to about a 6 oz cup. Going back to Dunkin”

“Patient and kind - they treat you like family!”
