Restaurants in Lexington

“Amazing omakase experience! I enjoyed this more then the very well reputed Boston omakase, and at a fraction of the cost. So convenient to the suburbs, right in Lexington. We will definitely return!”

“I was craving Pad Thai and saw great reviews for this new Thai restaurant in Lexington and decided to order takeout. I'm so glad that I tried them because everything was delicious. The place is nice and bright and my order was ready on time. I will definitely order from them again!”

“Was nearby and wanted to try new boba spots and saw this place had açaí too so we had to try it. The space is super long. Unfortunately boba was no longer on the menu. But the açaí was really good. I got super hyped when I saw they had different bases, I couldn't decide on what to try. We got a Berry Delicious açaí base bowl, and a Paradise Pitaya base bowl, and a Açaí berry smoothie. My fiancé devoured his açaí bowl no problem. And the pitaya base was so good and fruity. I saw they have a green base and a spring time mango base too. Definitely gonna have to come back and try it!”

“It's my go-to place for Indian lunch in Lexington. The Masala is excellent and the Dal and Chickpeas are outstanding.I just had the Lamb Korma, and I despise lamb, but I completely enjoyed this dish.Vegetarian options: They clearly mark what is vegan and not. A vegetarian can easily find what is needed. They also say what is gluten free.Parking: Parking is usually not a major problem, but be prepared to spend a couple of bucks.”

“I walked in today and ordered a simple coconut cake for my husband’s birthday. The cake was ready in a couple of hours. Service was amazing, the lady who took the order was super nice and attentive; she also helped me a lot in selecting a cake. This cake tastes insanely great, is super soft, moisture well, and not super sweet, that's exactly what I wanted!”

“This is a practically weekly go-to in our family for good quality, comfort food. Some of our must-haves are the meatballs, the salmon grilled dinners, and the Italian or Steak Bomb subs but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu...we haven't yet!”

“It's a busy place for lunch in a business park. All ordering is online. The food is pretty good, and despite the lack of table service they are very friendly and helpful.”

“I've been going to Mario's for probably 20 years and for standard, economical Italian fare it can't be beat. No reservations taken; in Lexington you go to the sign-in book, put down your name and the # in your party, and wait to be called. Long time customers know the best times to go to get seated right away; be prepared to wait most weekends at dinner time. I've sampled several things on the menu and my go-tos are either chicken parm with meat sauce (you can get everything marinara if you prefer) served with shells (you can choose spaghetti if you prefer) or pizza (best sauce ever) loaded with sausage, extra cheese, onions and black olives. All the portions are plentiful (I always take half home for leftovers) and always tasty. I've had the lasagna, which is huge but lacking in enough sauce for me (I'd order extra sauce if I were to get it again) and the ravioli which I have no complaints about. Bread is served to the table in the form of fresh rolls. I often get a side salad for dinner and did so last night. It's usually fresh and tasty but for some reason at 5pm the salad I served was limp and tasteless. Maybe left over from another day? The service is impeccable. The waitstaff take orders, deliver to tables, keep track of who's waiting to be seated and deliver them to a table when one becomes available. Orders are taken quickly, food is delivered hot. Fun fact: often during the summer students on vacation are working there, which makes for fun small talk. As you can imagine Mario's appeals to everyone; families, couples, singles, so don't expect a quiet, romantic ambiance where you can have a leisurely meal and a private discussion. When full the place is very lively. There is a large metered parking lot (2 hr max) directly behind the restaurant and a larger one behind that if you want to, say, also go to the Lexington Venue (movie theater) or visit the many shops in Lexington Center.”

“I will definitely go back to this restaurant. Pleasant and inviting customer service is a must for me and their family-owned and operated spot did not disappoint! Minimal seating available...mostly a take out joint. Try them out... you'll be happy that you did....”

“We were sad we weren't able to stay at the inn, but at least we got to eat dinner there for our anniversary. The service was friendly and on pointe, offering a complementary glass of bubbles for our anniversary. The space is open and intimate, you can hear each other and not feel crowded by the other tables. Cocktails were perfectly balanced.The oysters were amazing. The monk fish is firm and a little sweet like lobster, the duck was divine and beautifully medium rare. We had never even heard of vinegar pie, it was great! Similar to but better than chess pie.”

“Everyone's got a go-to lunch spot and they're all the best on earth, I know. But here's another, all the same. Must have had a hundred lunches there over the years, not one of them ever subpar in any way. It's a high-quality delicatessen with all kinds of options, you're in good hands, you're gonna love it.”

“Stopped by here to grab some sandwiches to go for my son and myself on a busy, activity packed Saturday.We got an Italian and a Roast Beef and Turkey on heroes. Very generous portions, packed with fresh crispy lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Nice pickles and hot peppers too, upon request.Very satisfying sandwich.There were 3 families seated enjoying sandwiches and the sandwiches all looked delicious. The pastrami also smelled delicious. I have to go back there to try it next time. :)”

“My Grandmother works here and I'll go to son's day sometimes and I always have a good time. The work done here is amazing, and I will always remember the time I spent there”

“The food is delicious!! They will always prepare it the way you like it- for instance we like the steamed chicken and vegetable dish with the sauce on the side. They are very fast in delivering!!!!”

“FOOD WAS AWESOME! OUR SERVER DYLAN WAS TOP-NOTCH! THE SCHOOL IS VERY CLEAN! MY FRIENDS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!Wheelchair accessibility: DUE TO ANY INJURY, I WAS ON CRUTCHES AND EVEN IF I HAD MY WALKER, I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS. IT IS HANDICAP ACCESSABLE!Dietary restrictions: I HAVE SEVERE FOOD ALLERGIES AND THE SCHOOL COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE CARING AND PLEASANT TO MAKE SURE I WAS WELL TAKING CARE OF!”

“This is a hidden gem! We came in here after a bike ride for coffee and an egg sandwich. The egg sandwich was on a homemade biscuit and one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The baked goods were unbelievable. The owner, Ramona, is so sweet. We will definitely be back! 10/10 recommend you check this place out!”

“My experience with Cake Inc was one of a kind and incredibly special! From the first email with Susan, I knew that I had picked the right local bakery to order my parent's anniversary cake from. Susan was a dream to work with, exceptionally kind and professional. I sent her an inspiration photo but the cake was more beautiful than the photo and she even added on another tier to our surprise. I plan on telling everyone about Cake Inc, Susan went above and beyond!”

“Me & my wife stopped in for ice cream and we were well satisfied!Portions are generous, service was great, and the flavors are unique. Goat cheese and honey ice cream is great. Samples are free and necessary to narrow down the choices.The shop itself is cool, sit and people watch through the large windows. Enjoy the memorabilia on the walls. When you're finished, there's cool water and cups available.Kid-friendliness: It's ice cream, kid approved!”

“I have tried many of and love all their freshly-baked bread products. Breads (sourdough, whole wheat, challah and others), baguettes, and bagels. And they sell related products like maple syrup, etc.IMO one secret advantage they have is that they are a sourdough bakery. A co-owner told me during my last visit that not just their sourdough bread, but also their whole wheat, cinnamon swirl, and others are sourdough (no sourdough baguettes yet).FYI, sourdough bread acts as a prebiotic, which means that the fiber in the bread helps feed the “good” bacteria in your intestines. These bacteria are important for maintaining a stable, healthy digestive system. Sourdough is also lower in gluten than other forms of bread.”

“One of the best drip coffee I’ve ever tried. Staff were extremely friendly and gave good suggestions. Plenty of seating inside and outside the cafe, will be coming back for more!”

“I love this place so much! I go here once a month at least. The people that work there are super nice and welcoming. The place is always clean and neat. The seating area indoor and outdoor is a good amount of space if you're hanging out with your family or friends. The flavors are always good. I love how the froyo is not liquidity like other places ive been to, it's a perfect texture.Kid-friendliness: It's very kid friendly! The workers as of now pour the froyo for you because of Covid.”

“One of the best local businesses in Lexington!! Joe is so so kind and always willing to give back to our community. The custard is always superb and the chill wheels are incredibly delicious. Definitely a must-visit place in Lexington and a great staple for locals when looking for custard as well as their delicious cakes and pies. They also can provide dessert at events such as parties which is incredibly underrated and something everyone should consider for their next event!!”

“Medium sized Starbucks store located about a half mile from Lexington center. There is inside seating and a few outdoor tables. It can get reasonably busy here so you can’t always find a table. When it is busy then ordering through the app helps you skip the line. Service is always friendly.”

“The pizza was surprisingly decent for a highway rest-stop. While the slice was on the greasy side, it also had a good sauce to cheese ratio. The sauce was flavorful and the base of the pizza was thin and crispy. If only all highway rest stops and gas stations had pizza of this quality!Vegetarian options: This place has some vegetarian options on the menu.Parking: Plenty of parking - as this is a rest stop.”

“First off all this place is a hidden gem almost always, although i'd only consider this place as a take out open, not really a sitdown. The staff is always friendly! Other than the creepy old woman who tried to touch child over and over... the food was good. butternut squash soup, and beef stew were delicious, our grilled cheese was ok... not really toasted, and the cheese wasnt melted but no big deal my kids loved it nonetheless! TY”

“In a service station. 2 Brazilian Staff had trouble underage my order and made mistakes entering it. We took our time amd verified and corrected 3 times since i was the only customer. Could be very tricky in crowded times or if you need clarification on options, orders or food limitations and allergies.Dietary restrictions: Some gluten and dairy free options available!Parking: Service station parking lot”

“Best food ever!!!!! My husband is from Lexington and we live in California. Getting food from Changhai is the best part of our yearly trip. Everything we've tried is amazing and I would give my entire life savings for them to open a location in the Bay Area.”

“We used Prince Street Cafe for an office retirement party and everything was so wonderful. Dana helped us create the menu, had lots of great suggestions and her knowledge was so helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and the team seamlessly worked the event keeping the food moving and making sure it all looked appetizing and keeping it all fresh. I got lots of comments about the food and staff during the event, all positive. Highly recommend!”

“I came here for lunch and had the season special Chicken Pesto Melt sandwiche.Limited drink options but they do offer free water.My sandwich was absolutely delicious. It had two chicken cutlets!They have gluten-free options but also disclaimer that cross contamination is possible as non-gluten things are made in the same spaces.”

“I just want to start off by saying that Rice Cube's Chicken Satay is some of the best that I have ever had. They always do have amazing service when I'm picking food up. The place is not the cleanest but it doesn't really matter because all of the time that I am having rice cube I will do take out.”

“I have been to over a 100 different dunks while traveling through New England. I come in here every Friday at 1:45 as a little treat to end the work week.The worker who makes the ice coffees here makes the best ice coffee I’ve had out of any of the dunks I’ve been to. I don’t know how to explain it it’s just always perfectly made every Friday. Bagels and donuts r normal dunks bagels and donuts. But if u like ice coffee this is the place to go.”

“Safa and Ramila do an incredible job in the mornings. They always get my order correct and are consistently able to attend to all customers needs during busy mornings.Jacob does a fantastic job in the afternoon. He’s A+ customer service and always gets my order correct - even if it’s just him working with many customers coming all at once.Millie and Diane are a great team on Sunday mornings. They do an amazing job. And whenever Shain is working, he always makes great drinks and prepares food very well and is extremely personable.”

“I’ve never had a bad meal here. The chicken parm sub is my favorite, the beef tips are delicious, and the wings are always good. Also in the top of my list are the calzones. All portions are generous and the prices aren’t bad either.”

“Good food, decent prices and good service. Went here few weeks back to meet up with friends so we were a group of 7 people. Initially we sat at one of the long tables but soon after everyone arrived they gave us one of the round tables with the lazy susan rotating center. We ordered a bunch of dishes - kung pao chicken, MaPo tofu, a lamb dish that came in a pot, beef dish, squash dish, a green leafy vegetable dish, and a couple other dishes none in total plus steamed white rice and green tea. There was a lot of food and it was all very good and tasty. Meats were tender and flavorful. We were quite satisfied and full with all the food! We also got some leftovers to bring home lol! Parking was easy as they have parking. Also was easy to find this place not too hard. Will come here again if we're in the area.”

“I got the green tea cheese cake slice and a cannoli. The cannoli was delicious. The packaging is beautiful. It would be very impressive to bring something from here as a gift.I was however disappointed with the cheesecake. I love cheesecake, this just wasn’t my favorite.”

“Man, this place is a complete experience all in it's own. What an awesome place!From the moment you pull up (much less when you walk in, your impressed with the outdoor vibes of the beer garden. People and kids outside enjoying the sun having a drink with some A+ food.When you walk in, it's another shock, a massive open concept Douglass fir timber framed beams stretch across the entire interior.A full size ping pong table, and shuffle board, sit across from the lounge area of the restaurant.The pizza though...try the pizza. Unlike any other pizza you've had before, I guarantee it.And lastly the beer wall, this thing is so cool! It's a pay by the ounce, or pay as you pour concept, that allows you to freely try small amounts of the multiple types of beer, cider, and wine on the wall.Overall, I haven't found a place quite like this before. This Craft food halls chain is really impressive, and if your looking for a day out, a date night, or a place to host company parties, they do that as well.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian and vegan optionsDietary restrictions: Gluten free burger buns and pizza crust”

“Amazing food as always because it's our go food when no one wants to cook. The one time they forgot rice I called (because my son eats plain rice as his meal sometimes) and they were here with a large rice in 10min. Thank you guys! You do great.”

“We ordered the Classic Lava Pearls, Berry Lovers and Fresh Lemon Yakuit. They were all very good with the Yakuit standing out most. The ordering system is efficient and the place is cool. My only complaint is the fact that I paid for tapioca pearls to be added my drink (this specific drink didn't come with any) but they were never put in the drink. Bit of a bummer but the taste made up for it.”

“Pretty good food. Nice servers. Nothing to complain about, but nothing exceptionally special.Vegetarian options: Variety of vegetarian choices.Kid-friendliness: Booths for families and mints for children”

“My husband and I came to the weekend brunch buffet which is a relatively new offering starting August 2023. I have never really been to the restaurant before as the first year I lived in Lexington I actually thought this was a ceramics studio! We were impressed by the wide range of curries both vegetarian and fish/chicken options. Everything was well seasoned with spices and good quality. A few months ago I had had not so good Indian brunch at a diff establishment and this was far superior in taste and value. Service was attentive and we would definitely return.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options. We particularly liked the butternut squash curry and okra curry.Kid-friendliness: While we didn't bring the kids as alas our 3 yr old and 7 yr old don't do well seasoned food, there was ample seating for families”

“This is located in the corner of a Shell gas station! The sign for DD is visible from one direction but really not from the other!Parking: There's only parking available on the side of the building!”

“Ginger tea was fab. Ran out of Maine beer. Fresh spring rolls were disappointing with little flavor, mostly lettuce with mint leaves on the outside & a thick sticky sauce with crushed peanut on top that was just ok & had to ask for 2 additional containers as portion was skimpy. Dumplings were average. Massaman curry was tasty. Sauce was a bit thin over the tasty rice. Curry was seved in an elevated crock pot designed to have heat source underneath, which was non existant. Not as good as previous Thai place there but will try again & pick different items. Seating is a bit on top of each other but expected at these small places.”

“Surprised we haven't been coming for years. It is so good that we are now almost once a week visitors. Appetizers are uniformly delicious. The sushi is well prepared and delicious. Noodles get good reviews by my family. Service is attractive but discrete. We recommend this place without reservations.”

“Living in Lexington we naturally have tried most surrounding restaurants. We LOVE Via Lago. It is not noisy. The food tastes very delicious similar to restaurants in New York City. Honestly…The atmosphere is calm, beautiful, with many seating areas. Prices are below other local restaurants. We are going again next week..I can hardly wait.Parking: Big lot 1 minute off side door.Wheelchair accessibility: YES… MY HUSBAND HAS TO BRING HIS WALKER.”

“This review is based on a pizza/sub-shop. I have only had one bad meal from Lexington house and it was a steak and cheese sub and it was a 3 star sub. I have been ordering from here for the last 2 years and had consistently amazing pizza, fries, wings, and chicken cutlets subs. The service is great the delivery drivers are usually very quick and nice. The owners and staff are very kind a friendly as well. If you love Greek pizza this is your spot. Fries are always crispy!”
