CitySide Tavern

★★★☆☆ 3 (454) • $$

"I've now gone twice in the past 4 days. I'd describe Cityside as classic pub food meets good music and indoor/outdoor restaurant vibes. My order a few days ago (not pictured): I got the fried chicken sandwich with fries and a black berry downeast. Exactly what I needed to fulfill my chicken sandwich craving as well as a solid berry downeast flavor on tap coming in clutch to sip on while chatting with friends. Awesome music. They've got 90's rock and alternative music on repeat. Needless to say we had a blast. 4 days later: I ordered nachos and a mimosa. My boyfriend got Buffalo tenders and a mimosa. We both loved our meal and left the place full. The mimosas were perfect on a warm Sunday morning. The highlight this time around was definitely the seating situation. Now that their outdoor patio is open (after having been under construction for a couple years I wanna say), we were able to enjoy a stunning view of Cleveland Circle as we sat on the second floor while enjoying our meals and drinks."

Greenhouse Kitchen Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (134) • $

"I think this is a decent spot for a quick meal. The pasta was very over cooked, not close to Al dente. A no no for the Italian in me! However, the sauces were flavorful. I had both chicken Parmesan and an Alfredo paste. The takeout was quick and easy."

Cappy's Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (42) • $$

"I'm giving Cappy's a 5 star rating! I've never eaten here BUT I get so many calls for this pizza place I am tempted to make the trip from Ohio just to check it out! I get a minimum of 5 calls every week. Most callers are pleasant and clearly hungry when they call. Some callers are annoyed but generally courteous which tells me that their call to Cappy's has some serious importance and I am standing in the way of the achievement of delicious satisfaction...With all of this said, I look forward to visiting my brother and stopping by to experience this gastro excellence..."

The Bullpen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (31)

"I'm not at all familiar with the Fenway area but stopped in here before my first Sox game. While it was busy and a little crowded, the bar line moved quickly, bartenders friendly and crowd was fun. The convenience of using the bar to enter/exit the park is very convenient."

Mangia Mangia

★★★★☆ 4.4 (64) • $

"Our family absolutely LOVED this charming, family-run restaurant in the heart of Boston's North End neighborhood! Dropping in one morning for breakfast, we enjoyed scrambled eggs, omelettes and chocolate-chip pancakes in a quaint but comfortable setting. The coffee was delicious, the service outstanding and the value simply AMAZING. We can't wait to come back for lunch the next time we're in Beantown!"

Tessie's bar & kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (51)

"What a pleasant surprise to stop in this bar on Saturday for a quick lunch! The place is pretty and clean, we had a great chat with the waiter and they seems ro be known for their burgers. We got the Tessie Burger and another build up on an iceberg with blue cheese. The meat was fresh and tasty, the iceberg with Tessie sauce was delicious and refreshing! The coleslaw was crunchy a not too sweet like others, i did enjoy it! Service was fast!will defined come back!"

New York Pizza -Boston

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (331) • $

"Stumbled here spontaneously and was pleasantly surprised! Literally had no expectations coming here.Super flavorful pizza, we got chicken bacon ranch, and it was crispy too - we asked for it extra toasted and it came out perfect. The slices are massive and they cut it in half for us. The slice was $5.50 but it's a big portion size so I thought it was worth it. I think it's great for a night time snack/meal :)"

Woodys Pizza

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (60) • $

"Woody's Pizza...... I had to Try it because people either give it 5 stars or minimal Stars and I wanted to know which side was telling the truth. Sadly I guess you have to order pickup to get that 5 star service because we were delivered Sub Par food. When you are located next to a blue line stop and such a foot traffic heavy hub as orient heights, I guess it gets so busy that every other order gets zero cares given.My Wife's two topping meatball and broccoli pizza was nothing to brag about. Just meh. Definitely not worth the priceMy chicken finger dinner came with 3 pieces of boneless chicken that was smashed to shit breaded with crumby knock off shake & bake and overcooked so much and so dry that eating one bite gave me the hiccups.The salad that came with it scrap pieces of bitter romaine hearts, mush tomatoes, cucumbers that had inconsistency some were slices, some were chunks, some had peels, some didn't. And black olive slices that tasted like nothing.Delivery was late, Called the place and the lady on the other side of the inquiry phone call was rude to my wife... likely burnt out from working for such a busy place. But not to worry lady. Y'all will be just a little less busy because we are not ordering from woody's again."

Rising Eagle Publick House

★★★★☆ 3.6 (109)

"Had an excellent dinner here this past week! We went on a rainy Saturday night and found it to be exceptionally busy with a long wait time. We found seats at the bar and were able to order drinks and food. Tried the burger and tenders which were great and very tasty as well as a cornbread skillet which was very good. Drinks were good as well. For some reason it took 30 minutes to get the check, but overall it was a good meal if a little bit uncomfortable. I would definitely go back at a slower time since they don't do reservations. Tough at times for a sit down dinner, but great spot for a drink and some solid food."

Boston Kitchen Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (310) • $

"This NY style pizza joint truly delivers a slice of heaven! The pizza, boasting a perfect blend of chewy crust and gooey cheese, is a savory symphony for the taste buds. At only $5 a slice, the generous portions make it a steal, ensuring both your appetite and wallet leave satisfied. A delicious, affordable slice of the Big Apple right in your hands."

"Simply Awesome! It's all good at Eagle's Deli. The Burgers are legendary. That's it! now go there and eat a burger.Until the next review, My Best!"

Alta Strada - Wellesley

★★★★☆ 3.5 (286) • $$$

"Came back here for an anniversary dinner after many years and this spot is the same great food and service it always has been. Although very crowded on a Friday night, the service here is impeccable and the food is always really good. I told them ahead of time it was an anniversary dinner and they could not of made it more special. Very attentive and complimentary with even a glass of limoncello at the end. The menu here has not changed much from over ten years ago, same selections pretty much, pasta, steaks, seafood and of course chicken etc. The meatballs here are delicious and so is the chicken parm. The dessert again of my favorite mascarpone and wafers was also a nice treat. Prices are very reasonable here and this is a definite treat...highly recommended."

Hot Chix Boston

★★★★☆ 4 (59) • $$

"WOW! Everything here is so flavorful.I got an extra spicy Nashville hot fried chicken sandwich ($13) as a combo with waffle fries and a fountain drink (+$6). I was also super curious about the honey butter biscuit so I got one of them too ($3).The chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken was so juicy with good seasoning without being too salty. Its surface was nice and crispy. I thought that the "extra spicy" could have been even spicier, but I appreciated that the chicken wasn't dripping in greasy hot oil. The sandwich also came with pickles and a refreshing and lightly sweet coleslaw on the inside, all of which helped balance out the fattiness and heat from the chicken. When I first picked up the sandwich I noticed that the bread was dense and worried that it would be dry, but it was not dry at all. The denseness of the bread helped hold the sandwich together because the piece of chicken was so big.The waffle fries were crispy and flavorful! Some places make their fries too salty but I felt that the saltiness on these fries were perfect.I wish I ordered more than just one biscuit. Somehow they managed to make the biscuit both flaky and fluffy at the same time. The honey and butter seeped through the entire biscuit which made it so fragrant and sweet.I can't recommend this spot more! The people who worked there were also super kind."

Sammy's Pizza And Fried Chicken

★★★☆☆ 3 (3)

"I've only had their cheese pizza by the slice and it is PHENOMENAL. They don't cheap out on the cheese and the dough sauce and cheese is perfect. It's not too heavy a slice and I LOVE it every time I go. I also love that they have a great selection of sodas like grape Fanta brisk iced tea and others you don't usually find. The store is very clean and I've had the same man at the register and he is very polite. I really want to try the other items on the menu as well. It's Halal!"

Relish Burger Bistro

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (60) • $$

"I'm quite curious as to why the Westin decided to have a "Burger Bistro" as their main restaurant, which seems to conflict a bit with their glimmering blue glass hotel landmark visible from 128. My company loves using the hotel ballrooms for meetings and firm wide trainings since parking is free and it's a relatively more accessible location than crowding everyone into Boston. Maybe they are going for the gourmet burger image like a Five Napkin? Anyway I wasn't in the mood for a burger while eating with some co-workers so I just ordered a side salad and their chili. My colleagues ordered the largest looking burger and a veggie burger. They looked tasty enough and the fries looked normal. I feel like I've been on such a burger kick lately that it's difficult to impress me with my new gold standard (Black Iron Burger). The server seemed a bit confused at some of our questions but he placed the orders in. We sat near the windows and quite honestly they are super drafty! I felt a chill the entire time from the lack of insulation. We had a great view of the I-95 afternoon traffic. During lunch on a Thursday there were only a few tables occupied. I can't imagine anyone ever coming here specifically for the restaurant. It's more a convenience factor if you are already here. The chili helped warm me up from the polar vortex chill and the salad was just a plain side to fulfill my nutritional needs."

The Quiet Few

★★★★★ 4.6 (100) • $$

"What a cool bar! My friends told me about this place while we were in eastie and I'm so glad they did. The menu has a ton of options from small bites to good portions. The fries and fries pickles are my favorite. I orders a Mexican salad once and it was tasty. The bar has typical options for drinks and pickle back shots if you're interested. The service is always great. Bring your friends or come on a date you won't regret it."

Mainely Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (50)

"Enjoyed my lunch here. I ordered the Chicken Tender Basket which came with french fries and 4 tenders. We also got an order of onion rings to split. The tenders didn't come with a sauce, so when I asked for one, I was told they only had bbq or a chipotle mayo. This was a little disappointing as I expected honey mustard or something. I ended up using the chipotle mayo which was good. They have ketchup near the utensils but not what I usually use for chicken tenders. Sauce aside the chicken tenders and fries were good.The beer-battered onion rings were really good, but they didn't give a lot for the price. They come with the chipotle mayo which paired nicely.Overall I liked the food and the Maine theme but almost $40 for small portions was a lot. Would eat here again if in the area."

Gordon Ramsay Burger

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (159)

"I'd only been to the one in Vegas, and this is a while back. I'm not sure if my burger standards have increased over time, but didn't think the burger here was nearly as good as what I remember from the Vegas location. Tried the Hells Kitchen burger. It was fairly flavorless and dry. I think that they should have added more sauce. Also maybe use better quality beef. No wait, which was a nice change. Prices reasonable for a Ramsay joint (although does not include fries)."

Fresh Pita

★★★★★ 4.6 (33)

"I've driven by this place many times and I love this type of food but my boyfriend is a little reluctant to eat it, so I stopped by one day when I was alone and I am so glad I did! The second I walked in- I was greeted by the wife and her husband was sitting in the booth and I instantly remembered them from their Mineral Spring Avenue Location! I took my son there for Lunch one day- it was years ago-when he was very little and I will never forget that they made him French fries for free- which was memorable just because of how kind they were. I told her I would pay for them but they waved me away! She also wouldn't let me leave a tip today- but I insisted she give the tip to her son/employee.Everything was made to order so I don't understand the reviews saying the food is not fresh because it most definitely was fresh & delicious! I love the chicken falafel combo ! It's my favorite & the meats were juicy and tender. Everything was great and the price was also very good. I hate when I get lunch for myself & the price comes out to over $20- that is just ridiculous in my opinion. My entire meal came to under $15 - which is amazing! My lunch was amazing, the service was wonderful & the price was just right! I highly recommend at least giving it a try and if you don't know what to order- just go with the chicken or chicken and falafel combo and I promise you- it's worth checking out!"

Harvard Gardens

★★★★☆ 3.6 (541) • $$

"Stopped in for a drink, but the bar was completely packed and our group couldn't get anywhere near it. So, we asked if we could still get a table and just get drinks because it was a little later in the evening. They said no, so he started to leave when, the hostess stopped us from walking out. She said that she was going to ask if we could have one of the empty tables even though we just wanted to get a couple of drinks.Then we were seated and enjoyed a few drinks with good company. Our server was lovely, but that initial experience of being turned away because of the food purchase requirement was a little bit of a turn off. I would have understood if it was prime lunch or dinner time and every table was occupied.Anyway, the drinks were good. Cheers."

Mama's Place

★★★★☆ 3.8 (202)

"Dining method: CateringItem(s) ordered: I ate the Cleopatra wrap, but we ordered several others.The review: The cleopatra wrap was brimming with tabouli (tabbouleh?) and flavor. For a vegan option, it proved very filling and flavorful. That being said, the falafel was very dry and, in the middle of a work meeting, that might not be the best to have in your throat. The catering arrived slightly late into the meeting, so I would just make sure they know if there's a hard deadline. Wonderful service. Everyone enjoyed a variety of the other wraps and sandwiches with meat, and said they were very good. I would totally go back to see what the actual restaurant looks like, and would love to try one of the Greek wraps next!"

Halal Eatz

★★★★☆ 4.3 (50) • $$

"Honestly was never expecting to find good halal food in Burlington of all places.Boom. This place came along. Really satisfied my craving.Place had good flavors. White sauce and red sauce flavors we're good.I wish the meat was a bit chunkier. And more vegetables. But that's it! This place is great. Definitely a great eat in the area!"

Boston Burger - Somerville

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1011) • $$

"Just Do it! Include Boston Burger into your plans. I saw the pics. I thought to myself this place has catchy shakes- their food can't be good. I was wrong. I am admitting it. Sorry Boston Burger Company for my judgement.2 kids, one adult. 3 cookie dough shakes $51 later- no regrets. The cup rolled in vanilla frosting. Cookie cereal bites meticulously lined up in the frosting. A skewer in the shake topped with an ice cream sandwich and a god of cookie dough. Oh wait want more dough, no worries! Dough inside the shake and an extra gob on the side! Chocolate syrup, whit cream and a cherry! It was what cookie dough dreams are made of! The food... The pulled pork egg rolls with fried Mac and cheese... There for it! But the win was the dip they served it with! The 420 burger split three ways because I knew th se kids cannot handle the shake and their own burger! And it was a good assumption. The burger was delicious! Their bbq sauce was very flavorful. Their coleslaw- win! I love a coleslaw that's juicy. The kids loved their potato chips (pretty sure they make their own- cape cod style.)Pro tips: kids can't finish the shakes and the merch is hilarious"

First House Pub

★★★★☆ 3.6 (105)

"This spot id pretty solid with awesome food and pretty stellar service. My friend and I needed burgers and she needed a martini - because she's a mom and that would also drive me to drink.... I needed a burger and avocado. They had a burger with caramelized onions, avocado and bacon - it was freaking delicious and came with TOTS!!! Like any bar - later at night you get the annoying loudmouth or too and the service starts going downhill..."

Oak Bistro

"Came here with my team of 10 and had a really amazing meal. Apps especially-layered potatoes, truffle fries, short rib croquettes, citrus salad, peach burrata salad, Brussels- rave reviews from everyone on those.Entrees were all good but reviews more mixed on enthusiasm. Scallops were as good as the apps, as was the mushroom risotto and chicken. Gnocchi was a little bland and short rib pasta good. Ambience is fun, server friendly and competent, cocktails and beer enjoyed by those who imbibed. Highly recommend!"

Grateful Dedham Diner

★★★★☆ 3.7 (162)

"The Grateful Dedham Diner, located on High Street in Dedham Square, is a family owned-and-operated restaurant that offers plenty of tasty breakfast, brunch, and lunch options at reasonable prices served by accommodating staff in a casual, open ambiance. We met up with friends for breakfast at the Grateful Dedham Diner on a recent Saturday morning. While the service felt a bit uneven with a long wait to order and a minor snafu during the ordering process, the staff quickly made things right. They were also very patient with our group, giving the five of us plenty of time to catch up with our local friends rather than trying to rush us to turn the table to accommodate the growing queue of diners.The breakfast menu includes plenty of options with filling portions of breakfast staples including cage free egg platters, benedicts, omelettes, pancakes, french toast, waffles, or breakfast sandwiches. The menu also offers several burgers, salads, and sandwiches/wraps which are available all day for those heathens who don't crave breakfast foods at every opportunity. I had the Irish Jumbo Roll sandwich ($9), comprised of two eggs (over medium at my request), irish bacon, and sausage links served on a fresh grinder roll. Tasty! As always, my dining companion preferred something lighter and opted for the G.O.A.T. platter ($13), two poached eggs over baby spinach, served with what feels like a pound of smoked salmon, goat cheese, avocado, and whole wheat toast. She really enjoyed it.We will definitely be back next time we're in the area!PRO TIP: Grateful Dedham Diner doesn't have its own parking lot, but there's plenty free parking in the Gonzalez Field municipal parking lot at the corner of High and East Streets."

LoLa Burger

★★★★☆ 3.5 (101)

"Overall Lola Burger is a win. Its a nice, moderately sized American restaurant that mostly serves burgers, wraps, sandwiches, etc... The decor is modern and simple and the venue can seat maybe 40 to 50 people at tables and 12 to 15 people at the bar. I'm a sucker for TV's (4 of them) with sports and they deliver, although (and this is being nit-picky) the TV's are too high when you're sitting at the bar. Another nit-picky note--if it's cold outside and you're sitting at the bar, you're going to get a breeze every time someone opens the door. These aren't things that would stop me from coming, just notes from improvement. My bartender was pretty straight forward and didn't really offer me much of her personality but whatever. I ordered a custom burger--double stack ($21), medium well, American cheese (no extra charge), lettuce, tomato, pickles, the Lola Spicy Sauce ($2), Avocado ($2) and Simple fries (no extra charge).The burger was solid--definitely a 10/10, it was sizable, the Lola Spicy Sauce hit and was spicy but tolerable. The fries were a little too simple for me, not that it wasn't loaded, but they were a bit thin for a restaurant in my opinion. They were McDonald's sized (but much better than McDonald's). They gave me A LOT though and they were well seasoned. I was struggling to finish my meal because it's a fair amount of food, but I'm a trooper. Overall there's a few things that I wish were better or different, however this is a really nice spot and I'd certainly return and recommend."

Zazibar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (16)

"As a former Seaport resident, I wish ZaZiBar had been here when I lived there. It lives on the ground floor of the building that has Kings and Flight Club in it. I've been multiple times now, and if you walk in at a quiet time, it's a chill establishment, and if you come in when the music is going, best believe the vibes will be vibing! One thing I enjoy about ZaZiBar is that the cocktails are inventive. Yes, they are Seaport priced, but that is to be expected given the location. My favorite is the Lychee Me Please, which has a noticeable but not overpowering lychee flavor that goes very nicely with the Grey Goose. The Zazi Lada is a particularly beautiful drink that comes adorned with fruit and flowers. They really make you feel like you've having something special.On the food side: The food menu is limited but thoughtfully created. I'm leaning more and more into vegan dishes these days, and the vegan sliders are exceptional. I don't think I've ever called anyone's sliders exceptional (LOL), but they are! There are also Halal Beef Sliders, which carry much more of a flavor punch than their size would suggest. The smoked pineapple wings are also great. The first time I came here, the bartenders (who are all super nice--it honestly feels like a friendly, Southern vibe, except it's largely a Caribbean one!) grabbed fruit-shaped shakers, and so did we, and everyone started making music. It was such a fun moment that's difficult to capture adequately in words, but that's when I know that this place was something special. It's wonderful to have a Black-owned establishment in Seaport. I hope ZaZiBar will stay here for many years to come!"

Moon Flower House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (200) • $$

"Some of the freshest crispy chicken put into a sandwich and this is it! The chicken does seriously remind me of the KFC chicken you find in China. It really takes you down a nostalgic memory if you've ever had KFC in China. Overall, the chicken sandiwch is really up there with some of the best I've had!! Just so juicy and crispy on the outside. The barbecue wings were just okay, but the fries were really good - potato-y on the inside and crispy shelled. In addition, I thought the cute cartoon with the moon face and flower in hand was super cute and a nice touch to their bags and packaging. It felt really nice and cute to unwrap my sandwich from a small bag with that cartoon. I will certainly be back often for more chicken sandwiches!!"

Christo's Pizzeria

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (72)

"Dropped my Neice off at Driving school and peeped this place across the street. Walked in and the team working was busy filling a lot of orders. They greeted and I was asked by two separate people right off the bat if I needed help or ready to order in under 10 seconds. Props. The boss man was also teaching as his team was filling orders, the language was professional and mentoring as his team was receptive and very upbeat. It makes for a very good vibe in this spot.Moving onto the food I grabbed a custom pizza and some crispy flavored wings. Boss. wings are nice and crispy not soggy in sauce. Sauce was coated and didn't over power.The pizza looks amazing and smelled great, generous with topping and a very clean pie! not greasy! First bite had a good cheese pull, the slice held its shape well and I am stoked about this pie to share with my Neice and fam afterwards! Overall I am very happy I stepped into this establishment. Definitely found a gem in West Roxbury! Thumbs up familia! Great place to eat! don't hesitate to order!"

Ziggy Bombs

★★★★☆ 4 (9)

"A popular Worcester cheesesteak sub shop has opened near BU!Ziggy Bombs serves up a variety of specialty steak & cheese subs, smash burgers, chopped cheese, kickin chicken strips, wraps, fries, nachos, salads, deep fried ribs, and chicken wings. They also have a few kinds of Ziggy Pop in the cooler.This outpost is located on Amory Street, just off Comm Ave near Target. The place is order at the counter with a long food prep/grill area and inside table seating. There's also a flatscreen TV mounted on the wall.Since I had credits, I placed an online order via DoorDash to Ziggy Bombs ordering the Bacon Mac & Cheese Steak Sub ($16.99 plus tax) and an order of Onion Rings ($6.99 plus tax). My order was ready & bagged in about 12 minutes after placing my order.The Bacon Mac & Cheese Steak Sub was very heavy & overloaded and cut in half and boxed. There was plenty of soft grilled shaved steak with melted American cheese, sauteed onions, roasted red peppers, real bacon bits, fried mac & cheese bites & sriracha aioli in a soft chewy sub roll. This steak & cheese sub was a great choice! The battered onion rings were slightly chewy and decent.I will have to keep Ziggy Bombs on rotation for my post concert eats, since there are a few music venues nearby and limited late night options for food. This location is open until midnight."

"**Updated review**I came back because I believed in the beignets. They were bomb . The place was very clean, with a cute fig tree at the entrance. The service was EXCELLENT. Everyone was nice, especially the cook who made the order. I also tried the classic burger, which wasn't bad. Fries was still heavy with grease, but you know I ate them anyways and it was good."
