Restaurants in Medford

“Food is good. Parking is awful. when you get your bill u get a chargé for the kitchen.”

“Great Ramen! I like it spicy, but they have regular and veggie options as well!”

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.”

“We visited with ~20 friends this past Friday. They handled our group like champs. Food, service and drinks were all fantastic and expedited so quickly. I cannot sing their praises enough. Best nachos I’ve ever had.”

“Being 100% Italian also the food was amazing! They started us off with real EVOO to dip Our bread in with salt & pepper you can tell the EVOO was straight from Italy. I started with the arancini special which was sausage and saffron sitting in a white creamy sauce that was absolutely delicious. Then it was a toss up on my pasta dish between lobster raviolis and wild mushroom pappardelle I went with the lobster raviolis in a pink sauce. I never finish my food and I ate ever single ravioli. The portion was good enough for me and the proper way to eat a pasta dish so you don’t have left overs or waste. The pink sauce was creamy and delicious (I even dipped my bread in it at the end). Then I went straight for the dessert and ordered affogato (gelato with espresso) wow amazing not too sweet and not too bitter from the espresso perfect blend. Then my friend and I still were not ready to leave so I ordered a espresso martini and again amazing only advice I would give them is shake the martini more to make it foamy And that was my first experience at Gusto’s I give it a 10/10 Oh and the pizza looked really good that will be my next outing.”

“DELICIOUS food & wine, good service”

“The patties are wonderfully spiced & flakey. can't wait to try sweet the pastries!”

“If you are looking for outstanding authentic Egyptian food please try Kushari. The food made to order is consistently delicious and service is over the top. Plenty of free parking is another bonus!”

“This is a wonderful place. All the people are so nice and friendly. We are regulars there and most of the employees know our special order. Can’t say enough about the owner. Do yourself a favor and go for food and/or ice cream!”

“I live in Bar Harbor, Maine, and one of my guests staying with us offered me a homemade bagel from this establishment. It's one of the best poppy seed bagels I've had in a long time, and the homemade chive cream cheese pairs so perfectly with the smoked salmon. It made my day eating this bagel after work. I love lox. It's one of the sweetest gifts a guest has ever given me. 💕 When I travel the coast looking at lighthouses this winter, this bagel shop will definitely be on my places to stop. Alan is a great supporter and saleman! I'm happy to have met him and have him as one of my guests. Great memory, I'll keep with me. Thanks Alan 😊😊”

“The food is fabulous and the people are super friendly!”

“Great food and even better service. I wish I could remember the cashier’s name, maybe Earl. He was amazing and had everyone engaged and dialoguing. I’ve never experienced anything quite like it in a fast food environment.”

“Outstanding menu that changes seasonally and with specials. Service is superb! Especially Christina. We love to visit and eat here with goid friends. Never a bad meal. A plus! 10 stars! All quality food! Worth every penny. Love pans cota too!”

“Such a sweet new find! Everything was delicious and reminded me of my time in Thailand! We will definitely be back!! Thank you!!”

“This place is amazing! From the flavor to the large selection and quality of food is amazing! No hotpot today which is fine, but the food is delicious nonetheless.”

“AMAZING atmosphere!!! AMAZING service!!!! AMAZING food!!! Seriously run to grab a bite here and ask for Sara as your waitress!! The burratta was Michelin star worthy. The best bite of food that I have ever had.”

“Yoki in Medford is the best Sushi by far Staff is totally awesome and the place is so so clean and their sushi chefs are spot on service is exceptional and very friendly ownership cares about about your dining experience cant miss place you will not be disappointed go and enjoy. we have been a customer for years and love everyone there DiNonna Inc Joe & Rosemary”

“I recently stopped by Nick’s House of Pizza and it was easily one of the best local pizza spots I’ve been to. The food is amazing — the pizza is fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. The crust has that perfect balance of crispy and soft, and you can tell they use high-quality ingredients. Everything tastes homemade and made with care.

What really makes the place stand out, though, is the owner. He is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he truly cares about his customers and the quality of the food he serves. He takes the time to talk with people, remember regulars, and make everyone feel appreciated when they walk in. It gives the restaurant a really warm, community feel that you don’t get at big chain places.

Between the great food, generous portions, and outstanding service, Nick’s House of Pizza is definitely a spot I’ll keep coming back to. If you’re looking for delicious pizza and a place where the owner genuinely cares about the customers, this is the place to go.”

“My friend and I have been to the lounge side and are always treated well by Lucy, who we have seen on a couple of Wednesdays after work. The service is always right on and the food is good too. ! Ro”

“This is hands down the best Italian deli I’ve ever been to! The chicken cutlets were to DIE for. The two subs were absolutely amazing. Customer service was top notch. I live 40 minutes away and will be making this a monthly stop for sure. The premade meals section was drool worthy! And the BREAD…. I could have ate three loafs alone. I never make reviews really but this place deserves it!!!!! Don’t walk…. RUN!”

“Because the majority of their food, dressings, sauces, etc are made in-house and taste incredible. You pay a little more for some of their items but it is definitely worth every penny. And the portion sizes are great too. Their menu takes u from soups, wraps, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, salads and hot dishes. The staff are extremely helpful in tweaking an item to fit your needs. James Beard award I’m sure will be coming soon.”

“Great place, awesome food and very friendly workers.”

“i’ve eaten here at least 50 times while living in medford.”

“Awesome Food! We love chicken parm and pizza!”

“Been coming here since we moved to Medford, it’s our go to spot for something quick and delicious and a very decent price. Several healthy options too. Highly recommend!”

“First time visiting and we ordered the Bun Ga Nuong combo. It came with two pieces of shrimp and a very generous portion of grilled meat—so much that I was able to enjoy it over two meals.

This was a takeaway order, and unfortunately I only realized after sitting down to eat that the bag was missing the spring rolls that are supposed to come with the combo. On top of that, one of us has a severe peanut allergy, and the dish had peanuts scattered throughout, making it unsafe to eat.

I called the restaurant right away. The owner immediately apologized, acknowledged they had forgotten the spring rolls, and offered to remake the dish without peanuts. She also told me to keep the original order, which I appreciated.

When I returned, they apologized again and gave me a freshly prepared replacement along with three spring rolls. While it was inconvenient to make the extra trip, I was grateful for how they handled the situation.

In hindsight, I would usually check about nuts, but I didn’t recall seeing it mentioned on the menu. Typically, peanuts are served on the side to prevent them from getting soggy, so this caught me off guard.

Overall, great portion sizes and solid customer service recovery.

Also ordered a banh-mi for one for the road - big and yummy!”

“The steak and cheese sub is AMAZING!! THE PIZZA IS AWESOME❤️❤️Highly recommend!!”

“This is a place that you can be very adventurous with food choices or go with some standard dishes. My being of the non adventurous type I went with the Kung Pao Chicken - in my POV it was the best I have had.
Service was great as well. Look forward to returning.”

“Wonderful food. Had a nice lunch with a close girlfriend. Our waitress was fantastic. Can't wait to go back again. Better than the NorthEnd.”

“I don't go to bars much these days but came here for a live music event, the Nirvana tribute band and this place is awesome. The place LOOKS amazing, they had sports playing on a bunch of tvs the food was PHENOMENAL, you order and they text you when it's ready that was pretty wild to me, and the best part of all the amazing staff that was so friendly to me and my family members. Would highly recommend, the concert was AWESOME and would definitely come here again. Really memorable night. THANK YOU”

“We love the quiche at Colette's!”

“the best mexican food”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The SunSplash Açaí Bowl is easily one of the best açaí bowls I’ve had. The combination of mango, strawberry, pineapple, kiwi, and coconut creates a fresh tropical flavor that tastes like summer in every bite. The granola adds the perfect crunch, while the honey and passion fruit mousse give it just the right amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. The ingredients tasted fresh, the portion was generous, and the presentation was beautiful. It’s refreshing, filling, and a great choice for breakfast, lunch, or a healthy treat. I’ll definitely be ordering it again!”

“First time there, was on a whim due to a Google search for burgers. Snappy Patty’s did not disappoint!! The cheeseburgers, tots, and beignets were on point!! Delicious, well cooked, and well seasoned!!! I’m from the south and this is the FIRST place I have ever recommended for burgers. The decor is phenomenal!! The colors and pics on the wall.. you have to see it!! Everything from Sesame Street, Star Wars, to classic rockers are present on the walls!! The music is the perfect level!! You can talk and have as conversation, but still have background music. Something I have found is not always the case. The staff is unbelievable. I felt like I was a regular that had been going for years! The communication with ordering to hid the staff works senselessly together is an added bonus to this experience. Yes, experience.. when all your senses are activated.. a restaurant/bar isn’t just a place for food and drinks. It’s a place that comes to life. Check it out when you can and tell me if you don’t feel the same!! I already know I’ll be back. Enjoy!!”

“Food is great and the staff is great especially the bartenders!”

“One of my favorite local Italian restaurants! Their homemade pasta is delicious. Their service is fast and their portions are gigantic!”

“I’m coming From Gloucester MA. Bella makes best raviolis everyone is always happy and smiling and eager to serve . Best raviolis I have ever eaten. My family and I love them. Thank you Bella beautiful to observe family togetherness. God’s Blessings, Roseann”

“Good packing space and good drinks !!”

“Stopped in to Jimmy’s Market today and the advertising I’ve seen on how good their food is was definitely accurate. I ordered a Brennan which was chicken fingers, American cheese, delicious bacon, topped with a nice honey mustard. Definitely very tasty. My buddy ordered a steak and cheese with mushroom, pepper and onion. It looked amazing and he said it was delicious. They were busy celebrating 50 years in business and there is no wonder why they’ve been so successful for so long. We definitely recommend stopping by!”

“great food friendly atmosphere anall the staff are top notch”

“CLASSIC CAFE OFFERS DELICIOUS BREAKFAST/LUNCH AT VERY REASONABLE PRICES. THE CAFE HAS A WARM, NEIGHBORHOOD ATMOSPHERE. THERE IS PLENTY OF PARKING.”

“Deep Cuts is a great little spot to eat and catch a show. The food is good, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The live space is small and intimate. There’s even a selection of vinyl records available for sale in the taproom!!!! I highly recommend it.”

“If you're looking for the most delicious breakfast sandwich that you've ever had in the world ??? come here!!!!??????

They're very affordable! Friendly staff. The tall young guy knows me by face. It's located on Salem St in Medford across from The Original Ronny's pizza shop. FYI- They close early on Sundays. Give them a try, you'll love it!!”

“Absolutely delicious and super friendly and fast service! Got the birria tacos and would definitely recommend and go here again! My friends loved it as well!”

“The Sacher chocolate cakes made for our order were truly outstanding. Rich, elegant, and beautifully balanced, they were among the best chocolate cakes we have ever had! The texture, flavor, and presentation were all exceptional, and our guests could not stop talking about them.
A wonderful combination of craftsmanship and quality—I would order from them again without hesitation.”

“Excellent food!!!! Friendly and wonderful staff!!! A++++ we LOVE everything about PINIS Pizza!”

“Carne Asada meat was more chewy than expected, but otherwise tasty. The rest of that meal beans, salad, rice were good. The scallops meals were great as well. Quick and efficient service was a bonus.”

“We were visiting from out-of-state, and wanted to verify if they carried Richie’s Slush. I messaged and they were very responsive and even told me where to find parking. We enjoyed some delicious slush today! Thank you, CB Scoops!”

“I love Starbucks so much and the one right next to Whole Foods is awesome. The workers are so friendly and kind. Also great fraps and cake pops. Inside it's very nice and welcoming.”

“Best chicken caesar wrap in the area, by FAR. And I've tried at least 10 other local places. The steak tip caesar is even better! Been getting them for the past 6 years since my first one. Really good homemade chips on the side too. If you pick up, don't forget to grab a couple pizza slices! Comes with a free can of soda.”

“I absolutely love the tortilla soup. I love that it's vegan! I always choose Qdoba over Chipotle because of the soup you serve. I hope it never gets discontinued!!”

“Ever since I ordered from here years ago, I have always loved this place. I got D19. Everything was hot and delicious. Chicken wings at other places have no taste, but here wow! Bug too. It's like two chicken wings. Everything is juicy and delicious, not dry. Big pieces of pork and veggies in the pork low menu. Extra soy sauce, duck sauce is free. Other places in the same area charge extra. When you walk in, the guy behind the counter is smiling and very friendly. I don't live close by, but the drive is worth it. I would highly recommend this place to all my friends and family!!”

“Well, I have resided in Medford Sq. area for over two years now. I have given my $$ to Wellington’s as their fare is good, until yesterday. Twice the pizza has so burned it was inedible & Twice scant toppings.”

“We were with friends and they were craving American-Chinese food. I was a tad worried but the food arrived hot and freshly made, seasoned well for our palates and was reasonably priced especially given the generous portions. Staff are kind and helpful. The moo shi pork arrived with the appropriate thin pancakes stacked and shingled in foil and rolled in a way that prevented them sticking together - perfect! The moo shi pork had the classic moo shi flavor and they are very generous with the protein. The egg foo young was not too greasy and was also tasty. I never tried this dish before and can see why it’s popular. Most of the appetizers are your classic fried not-really-Chinese bites and are done true to what one remembers and craves. We would join our friends again next time a craving strikes for classic American-Chinese food.”

“My friend and I have been to the lounge side and are always treated well by Lucy, who we have seen on a couple of Wednesdays after work. The service is always right on and the food is good too. ! Ro”

“Excellent breakfast sandwiches!”

“This is a super modern and clean fast food spot. Interior was also super decorated, high energy, but in a good way--fun music, people, options for seating/standing. I was immediately greeted by a super kind lady who helped me order. There was a mistake in the handout of my order, but after asking about it the manager was super friendly and helped me immediately. Even in a high stress environment, the staff of Cane's put on a masterclass. The food itself was decently portioned and solid, but it was the atmosphere and service that shined.”
