Restaurants in Dedham

“Best Mediterranean food I've had in decades. Everything was delicious. Couldn't be better. I had the kofra kebab plate, ground beef with lamb, rolled and fried, salad, hummus, garlic sauce and tabouli. Look it up. I'm probably not touching it all the great aspects of it. Every part of it was exceptional, full of freshness and taste, each part distinctive in taste and presentation from another part. Not the usual commodification of Mediterranean food present in most imitative restaurants. So many spots are predictable, bland, food feeling like it sat around waiting to be served and unremarkable in every way. Not here. A full size salad, bright, light tastes with just the right amount of a delicate dressing. Not just the typical hunks of greens and ingredients thrown together with no soul and doused in some soybean oil based imitation.It was not the thick flour pita pocket that despite rips apart when you try to lightly stuff it with your salad or grape leaves or tabouli, despite being the thickness of baseball glove leather. This pita pocket was as thin as it could be, not the chewy baseball glove we usually get, yet completely resilient. It held everything I stuffed into it.”

“Every time I’ve gotten Johnny pockets I get service with a smile and delicious food! I’ve tried multiple different sandwiches and I’ve never been disappointed.”

“Customer service chick at the register was super c😎😎l and accommodating. That (ALWAYS) makes the difference. And although my GPS confused me, I was relieved I didn't have to drive all the way to Legacy Place👍”

“I ordered take out and the food was fresh and delicious! My first time trying sticky mango and I absolutely loved it!”

“Its definitely expensive but the cookies themselves are very high quality. They are very sweet, I would only eat at most one half each serving.

The brownie and pineapple cookies are probably the best here, pineapple isn't too sweet so that's a good choice for someone who preder less sweet.”

“Our waitress, Asha was awesome despite all the tables she had last night. Food was excellent as always. Entire staff was accommodating and took lots of pictures for a memorable birthday for my wife.”

“Beautiful little hidden restaurant. They're so friendly and the food is SO GOOD. I always get the chicken satay and pineapple rice, both are the best I've had anywhere ❤”

“Our favorite pizza in Dedham!”

“Vincenzo’s Italian Deli is the real deal! Their panini are prepared with the freshest of imported ingredients (prosciutto, mozzarella, basil, etc), They also offer hot subs, freshly made Arancini rice balls, mini sfogliatelle, and homemade focaccia. In addition, they sell a wide range of imported Italian snacks, cookies, drinks, and condiments (many of which you can usually only find in Boston). Furthermore, modern Italian music is playing from the moment you step in, which truly adds to the authentic experience. Staff very friendly and hardworking🙌”

“Stopped in on a whim and had a great meal. I was with my mother and my daughter all of us enjoyed the place. There was a little something for everyone even had a cocktail; we will be back.!”

“The best Albanian food I’ve ever had! 🇦🇱❤️
This place is truly special. The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can really feel the love and care that goes into this family-run business. The food is absolutely spectacular—authentic recipes, fresh ingredients, and so much flavor!

We tried several small dishes, and even though we ordered a variety, we left completely satisfied. Everything we tasted was delicious and felt genuinely homemade and authentic.

I highly recommend this place if you want to experience amazing Albanian food and wonderful hospitality. I can’t wait to come back and try more! Hopefully they open the next location soon!”

“Excellent food. Excellent specials. Caprese salad so fresh. All of the salads are a meal in themselves. Best chicken parm. Best chicken Marsala. Steak tips so tender with garlic mashed and sautéed spinach. Bartenders are so friendly and fun. Wait staff are awesome. Get there early. Fills up fast! Tommy and Mollie. Joe and Lori are greatest bartenders. Jocelyn and Jess and Paola are best waitresses”

“Absolutely fabulous! Great food, excellent service!”

“We tried 6 different things and they were all amazing . Great pizza , deserts are delicious. Fun atmosphere and the big wood stove fire is cool. Service was fast and polite. Our food came out pretty fast even tho it was busy on Friday. Everything was very well prepared and generous serving sizes. I can’t wait to go back. Get the Popeyes sweet pea pizza . One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.”

“Just Ordered One Of The Best Italian Subs I’ve Had In A Long Time.. First Timer There But They’ll Get To Know Me, Waiting To Try Their Take-Out Dinners And Such..”

“Ive been coming here for years & I promise the food is so good 10/10 for sure! Everything is always hot and fresh. The staff is top tier❤️”

“Best food around!!! Great service and price!!!”

“This bagel sandwich was gobbled up by two family members who LOVED it! A toasted asiago bagel loaded with sausage, egg, cheese, spinach, onions, and tomatoes. 🍅🥯🥬 The sausage is very flavorful!”

“The best pizza in Town . Highly recommended. Delicious and The people are so nice 👍”

“I love the ice mocha and the muffins Today they had 80’s music 🎶 playing”

“Had the flat iron Benny, amazing!”

“We are from out of state and stopped in because we were all hungry. The food was amazing the service was amazing! The staff were very personable welcoming and wonderful to interact with! If we are ever in town again we will be back!”

“Great vibe & decor. Food look very appetizing (muffin was good) although we just stopped for coffee. Young girl who served us clearly didn't want to be working.... no smiles, moved slowly - clearly not happy. Coffee was lukewarm & when I asked to have some hot water added (wasn't asking for a new coffee), I was met with indifference! She should have been in the kitchen on that day. Great location for doing a little remote work tho & I am expect it probably is a fab place with a different server.”

“Adrian was the best service we have had in a long time. Great place ask for him if you want great service. Will be back.”

“We got a menu for them in the mail today and what made me order was the taco pizza. ive been looking for years for somewhere that made it. its absolutely delicious! However we are disappointed that the $13 chicken wing dinner only came with 5 wings. A ton of rice but not much chicken. I also didnt like how the driver never had me sign the receipt authorizing the credit card payment. i didnt even get a receipt showing how much the order was. The food is very good though. we ordered several things. ill definitely be getting this taco pizza more”

“Old world New England charm. no frills, real food, real people, real service, the kind that doesn't exist anymore. May God bless us with this establishment for the rest of eternity.”

“I'm giving this a 5 star review. Why you ask chick? Fil a has been my favorite since every year. I come so I had my best friend. She was amazed because hello, but I don't care why people are giving this a one star review because it just doesn't understand chick. Fil a has Chick-fil-A sauce. They also have Honey barbecue and Chicken Sandwich, but my favorite one is macaroni cheese. They're Mac and cheese is the bomb and their ice cream is amazing. Let's talk about their service. Their surface is less and less. It's getting worse because their surface have to do something because something is happening last year ago or let's say a month ago. I want you to check the way and there is less paper that was working. It's unlike teenagers, teenagers are supposed to be having jobs to support their money to go to college, right? But you know that there was no young teenagers, there were adults. So what happened don't know in that hour to 10 minutes to 20 minute hours to wait for a whole line to get my food, which they took forever, they even they took a book phone oh yes, the new update you wanna know you can do. Is do a phone? Yes, but you only have to pay online. You don't have to pay on the store. It's not DoorDash. It's something else, it's amazing, but it hacks your account and it goes Ding-Dong Wong because it doesn't hack you account because when you actually eat it, it just makes herself now I'm just giving the supply strawberry voo because I love it, thank you.”

“Good food, friendly staff, affordable for lunch and catering”

“Fabulous lunch here. The presentation was beautiful and the taste-fabulous! I highly recommend it!”

“Can never go wrong at yard house near Milton first off its the only place open to offer food after 9pm which makes them already the best, some people especially with the colloege close need a later place, not only are they the only restaurant that cares about the later crowd you can never go wrong with their food...the pretzel is always a smash, the tuna nachos 10 out lf 10, burgers a hit, pizza delicious you really cant pick wrong if you pick the right type of food...the service is always on point, they only got 4 out of 5 bc their bartenders are not on the same.page the same drink tatse different from bartender to bartender and shots took 12 min...other then that the atmosphere is fun with good muisc”

“What’s wrong with this picture not covered dried out where I can coughing on mention that to the bartender don’t care”

“This is one of those Whole Foods at which I end up spending $30 on the hot/ salad bar because there are so many scrumptious vegan choices. The store is very well-stocked as mentioned in the description.”

“Dave Dj'd our wedding on 9th August 2024 he was brilliant and kept our guests up on their feet. Thankyou for your part in our special day 👍”

“I ordered the Big Burger and Strawberry Love shake and they were delicious. Staff member behind the counter was very helpful. I ordered from the app and had a little trouble getting to the payment screen and staff member showed me how. Food was prepared quickly and was hot. I noticed another customer didn't want to use the tablet to order and staff member took her order at the register. I read other reviews criticizing everything I found perfect. Updated from previous review on 2025-09-11”

“Food is always hot and fresh, I went in because my sister had bought some food there and the chicken wings. What your typical Chinese chicken wings? It was like a fusion of American fried Chicken in Chinese chicken wings. Very good. Very tasty. So I wanted a seafood fried rice which I didn't see on the menu but I asked do they have it? The woman at the front desk was like thought about it for a minute and said you want all seafood in it and I said yes. She was like every I said everything that comes in fried rice but just all the seafood and she made it for me and I was so thankful and when it came out it was hot and it was fresh and it was very delicious. I recommend that to anyone who goes there and I continue to go there even though it's like a half hour from where I live which is not too bad but for good food I will travel 😁”

“Ron’s is truly a hidden jewel, the ice cream is amazing and you’re going to love the bowling alley.”

“Solid spot for a filling, weekday lunch. Location is a little hard to find as it's way back in Dedham Plaza, beyond the Star Market. Parking is simple and there are a few seats/tables if you wanted to eat in but I assume most patrons do take-out. Inside is clean and well-kept.

I ordered a Regular plate with chicken and beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and red and white sauce. With tax, total is around $15 for a generous portion of delicious food. The lettuce and tomato tastes fresh, adds some crunch, and I love the white sauce.

Will always come back when I'm craving it.”

“Great for spending extraordinary moments with friends”

“Great Customer Service I love the experience great food”

“First time buyer and I have to say, hands down, the BEST chicken pot pie I have ever eaten. Don’t change one thing about it!”

“Great atmosphere. Fun place to have drink and meet nice people.”

“New to the area and had this place recommended for Chinese food in the area. The Chinese restaurant near us where we lived before was very greasy and we eventually stopped going there. Because of that we were hopeful that Cathay Kitchen would be be an improvement. It certainly was as we found everything to be excellent. Looking forward to the lefttovers and we will happily order from here again.”

“Super cute place!! I've been wanting to try them and was not disappointed! Easy to order and super friendly staff, I really enjoyed my visit. I was so overwhelmed with the options lol, I restrained myself to only 4 and a dessert cupcake. I had the meat lovers, shrimp and mac, buffalo chicken and mac, double pepperoni and the lemon blueberry cheesecake for dessert. Also a fresh strawberry lemonade that was excellent! Fair warning they come out HOT HOT HOT, I actually burned the roof of my mouth a little they were so hot but I couldn't stop eating it, they are a perfect size, not too big or small. So cheesy and stuffed with toppings, so expect some greasy as well. The buffalo chicken could of had a little more spice to it, didn't have a big buffalo flavor for me. The shrimp and Mac was just ok, nothing special. The two meats were great full of meat and cheese..as a pizza should be! One cupcake was cooked a little too long the bottom was a little tough, but I had another one cooked a little more on the top and was crispy just like a liked it! Perfect!! The dessert cupcake was just ok to me, not really flavorful, but I'm also not a big sweets person. They do rotate the dessert flavors on a monthly basis, but always have the regulars available. I even had left overs of the savory ones which were just as good the second day! Definitely will come back next time to try new flavors and take some home to freeze!!”

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right”

“One of the most flavorful meals I’ve ever indulged in! Love the vibes there, and that everything is healthy and organic. Impressed that the prices weren’t too high either! Was just traveling through Salem on vacation in September & glad I found this place. Highly recommend. (Pictures are of the Rainbow Harvest bowl and Blue Magic Smoothie) - which had a kick to it, but tasted like Christmas.”

“We had a problem with the online ordering for party today (outdoor) but the staff at Dedham took care of everything did a great job we had our food when we had originally planned - everything fresh , delicious and enjoyed by all. Thank you!!!”

“Had a fun time here. Attended a business networking gathering in a private room. The food and service were good. It was easy to set up the bowling lanes. Got there around 6 PM on a Thursday night. Parking was challenging.”

“Where do I begin? My family had a GREAT experience celebrating a birthday at The Friendly Toast, Dedham. The service was excellent, first of all. Brendan, our server, was so attentive and caring -- as well as professional, making sure we had a great experience with attentive -- yet prompt, friendly service -- and particular kindness to the Birthday Girl, my sister.. Sabrina, who had just come on board, was also friendly, warm, and professional. The manager, John, also came around to check on whether the birthday celebration for our little party of four was going well.Wow!

As if that wasn't enough, along came the food. The french toast sticks stole the show! Light and soft -- yet crispy outside, these delicious treats were packed with sweet/ savory flavor. They were fun to eat -- dipped into not one, but various kinds of dipping sauce, including one with a tangy kick. If you like a kick or simply enjoy trying unexpected, yummy flavors, get the strawberry dipping sauce.

Another star of the show was the Sklarmageddon -- an egg breakfast that seemed to have everything in it. It was simply scrumptious, and although my Loaded Lox -- smoked salmon, Everything Bagel, lots of veggies -- was fresh, delicious, and healthy, I'm planning to get Sklarmaggedon next time we come.
As you can see, I was too busy devouring my own meal and eyeing the Birthday Girl's to pay much attention to the other two orders, which my other two family members loved, but was told that these were delicious, too.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was fun and festive, and the decor, lively...yet there was a calm that was nice enough to be able to hear each other and have good, fun conversations, inspired by the setting.. Because there was a full bar (we were thinking that if folks wanted to, they could have mimosas, though we didn't ), we were guessing that on weekends, the place must be bustling, likely an area favorite.

The Friendly Toast? A toast to The Friendly Toast!!We will be back, and I'm already planning my order. If you're in the area, looking for a delicious breakfast with great service and atmosphere, this place was 2 thumbs up -- tines four people, giving it an eight thumbs up: we all loved it.”

“Muy buena la atención y la comida 💪”

“I love it in this place, my favorite is chicken kabob salad, good portion and very fresh vegetables... I can say that this place has the beast roast beef in MA. Thanks guys...”

“Everything was great. Our server Crystal was incredible and really made our ladies day even more fun. The food was delicious and the setting was just as great. We had such a good time.”

“Sat at the bar, had the boom boom cauliflower which was good, but the service was FABULOUS. Noticed many people ordering the oysters so definitely will be returning to try those. Declan was one of our bar tenders and he was extremely nice and attentive!! However, all bartenders worked together extremely well to make sure everyone was having a good time and our water glasses stayed full 🙌 loved the spicy cucumber margarita and Declan made a badass dirty martini with stuffed olives on request ✨”
