“If you're new to Korean BBQ this is a good place to start! The menu isn't overwhelming and the food is tasty. They're always pretty packed, but we managed to get a table for 5 on a Saturday night. There's a 90 minute table limit which helps with the turnover.“
“Parking: Food is pretty good, slightly more on the expensive side for AYCE. Most dishes come fairly quickly. Depending on the wait staff they may or may not offer to get you a new grill. On average the waitstaff are very quick to changing them regardless of a busy night or not. If you love BBQ, you don't want to miss out on the opportunities here, especially with Japanese Quality bites.“
“Food came out very quickly. When the food was served they also gave us several bottles of various sauces to use at our discretion, which as a sauce enjoyer I greatly appreciated. The fried chicken and pulled BBQ chicken were both excellent, especially with sauce. The restaurant is certainly a bit noisy and active but the food will quickly absorb your attention.“
“In Boston for the weekend and daughter and I stopped in Easter Sunday for late lunch/early dinner. Fantastic burnt ends, pulled pork. Also got Brussel sprouts and beans which were also fantastic. Ordered ribs and burnts ends with sides to take home to husband and son. Hubby's words - best Easter dinner ever! Think we started a new Easter tradition!“
“Happened upon the Square Deli when a friend were in Chelsea for a medical test. OMGOODNESS. It was amazing. The menu was huge and so were the sandwiches. We had a Reuben and Paisano with lotsa fresh ingredients including yummy fresh bread. Served with homemade chips and pickles. Enough for 2 meals or to split if we agreed on the sandwich, lol. The owner was SO nice and friendly and accommodating. We opted for take out containers for another meal and the chocolate chip (homemade & huge) again with a great balance of soft in the middle and crispy on edges. They have been working on their cookies for a while, so they say, I think it's by far the best cookie I have ever had! hopefully don't have to go back for medical tests but would definitely field trip for their pizza next which has won many awards.“
“Service is friendly but the BBQ is only ok. Blue Ribbon is a lot better but if you're in Harvard, this might have to do. The brisket isn't that tender but the sausage is decent. The pulled pork is passable. I liked the cornbread and the brussel sprouts though!“
“It's a nightclub, bowling alley, and bar all in one. The feeling you get is unlike what you expect…. It is filled with staff that is welcoming, smiling bartenders, and the perfect playlist that kept us dancing from the moment we walked in. It's clear that from the drinks to the hiring process, the people in charge care about the details. It's not just about making money. It's no surprise why this place is so successful. Incredible job to everyone who works Saturdays our wholethe crew had a fantastic time.“
“Ive been blessed to spend the last year on a travel assignment to Boston and Ive discovered some pretty amazing food and Big Pig is one of the best!! The Brisket bomb has raised the bar for all other barbecue! I was so excited to share this food with my co workers and they loved it so much they ordered and shared with their family and friends. Big Pig is a feeling of home away from home!“
“Well done Smoke Shop, East Boston! I absolutely recommend it!I had lunch there today with two others. The food and service were excellent and the location is stunning! It was a sunny day so the sun was sparkling on the water :)) The restaurant is large enough to handle a crowd, yet intimate enough to enjoy it solo or as a couple. Between the three of us we ordered the Pitmaster Salad, Pulled Chicken Sandwich w/ Pit Beans, and the Pitmaster BBQ which includes two choices of meats and two choices of sides. I ordered the Burnt Ends and Pulled Chicken w/ Brussels Sprouts (w/ onion jam), and Zucchini Salad sides. The meats were cooked to perfection. It melted in your mouth and nothing was overly-sauced - just right! The Zucchini Salad was addicting. It had a nice dressing that added wonderful flavor to the salad. The Brussels Sprouts were tender and onion jam was the perfect compliment. If you're looking for a salad then the Pitmaster Salad is for you. It has a great balance of sweet and savory. It is great on its own or you can choose one of the meats as an add on... and you can never go wrong with their sandwiches. They are great anytime, anywhere! A big shout-out to Andy and Maria for making our afternoon so wonderful and memorable!“
“Rewriting my review because the place has changed hands and changed menus. Pleasantly surprised to see that brunch was still on the menu, and even more pleasantly surprised to see these awesome Indian brunch fusion dishes. We got the butter chicken eggs Benedict and the masala chai French toast. It was super fun and delicious, definitely considering becoming a regular. My only regret is that the portions have shrunk somewhat since the previous owners.“
“Ok so first point is the food was awesome. Friendly staff, and good location. The price is good, a little less than typical for bbq. We had 3 meals which consisted of brisket, ribs and half chicken with the sides of Mac n cheese (which to me could use a little smoke flavor or cheese with a little more flavor. Could just be a personal preference. ) baked beans and Brussel sprouts.Overall fantastic meal for good price.They need a bigger seating area but for a new BBQ place in New England they are on their way to becoming well known for great food. Will visit again soon. Great job CODE 1 !!!!!“
“Very good ! The food is great if you like to eat meat. Rally good.The sides are good but not a great variety of them.There aren’t any spicy side. And they don’t have any Tabasco or any other spicy sauce to order , that was a bit weird for me.The waiter was so kind and servicial . Very good.All was as expected , very good .“
“The food there is always so delicious and the staff there are always so polite!!! The friendly man (not sure if he is the owner) took good care of us by providing us plastic aprons in case we stained our shirts, gave me another spoon without me having to ask, and overall provided great service. Food + service was a 10/10! My fav place to go now!!!“
“Incredible experience! Wait staff were very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Food was cooked to perfection for us over a charcoal grill. Very tasty sides dishes. Next time in Boston we will definitely be back. One of our waiters, Jinoh, was in training and gave great service! Hello from Nova Scotia Jinoh!“
“One of the best Sichuan restaurants in town!!! Although it’s hard to find parking around the area. It’s my go-to place if hungry for some authentic Chinese food. The flavor is rich and on-point, their BBQ is another must-try from the menu. Highly recommended!“
“Hands down, the Best BBQ in Greater Boston. Best of all, it's cheaper than a flight to Texas. Place is a garage in Union Square with no seating - it's takeout only. The guy that runs the spot is super passionate about the craft and was kind enough to chat and explain the process. Only caveat is that the brisket sells out fairly early. The sides are very good, don't sleep on them. Between this place, BT's in Sturbridge and Rusty Can in Byfield - the New England *good* Q scene is slowly improving.“
“Friendship BBQ is my go-to spot for mouthwatering barbecue in Boston. The food here never disappoints. The brisket is tender, and the sauces are a flavor explosion. Quick service and affordable prices make it even better. I keep coming back for more!“
“Nice choice after we viewed the Gardner museum which is a ten minute walk even on a rainy day on a Saturday afternoon. Service was friendly. Get the biscuits and a brisket burnt ends sandwich. Side salad was also very good with Brussels sprouts hazelnuts and other ingredients!“
“Such a great experience, our server Jenn could not have been more accommodating or friendly! Highly recommend the Tuscan wings and the Melanzana pizza pizza, wow! You won't regret it. We will be back, regularly. Also great coloring books and crayons which with our kids goes a LONG way!“
“We stumbled in here and happy we did. Very attentive staff, clean and delicious food. My favorite was the biscuits. Perfect with two different butter choices. My husband loved their hot sauce. Each batch is made with 10lbs of jalapeño peppers and he could tell. Everything was great!“
“Once again you and your wonderful staff at Coast Cafe, have outdone yourselves!! Joshua's birthday celebration was an amazing time and partly due to your delicious food. Everyone gave high praise to every dish and went back for seconds and thirds. Thank you so much for being such a Beacon of Light in the Community! We love Coast Cafe!!“
“We had a lovely waitress who was very attentive for lunch on Thursday, March 28th and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal of Boneless Short Ribs (Galbi), Boneless Chicken with a pesto sauce (Dak Galbi), Thin Sliced Beef Brisket (Chadolbagi), Short steak (jumulleok), Flank Steak (Chimasal), and vegetables, such as zucchini, mushrooms, peppers, and other veggies. We started with miso soup that was excellent, a large salad that we shared with horseradish dressing, and a bowl of rice. The Korean BBQ uses charcoal which gives the meat a more authentic flavor. The meat was thinly sliced and marinated before cooking. Korean BBQ grills are designed to be used indoors, and when the grill started getting pieces of food stuck, our waitress, removed the grill and gave us a new grill. There were three sauces to enjoy with the meat which were teriyaki, ponzu, and spicy sauce. We very much enjoyed the experience, and spent two hours enjoying our meal. My colleague is from Seoul, and she knows an authentic barbecue restaurant, and I chose the restaurant because of all the positive reviews. We will be back again! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal! Our sincere thanks!“
“Recommended!! New fav hotpot buffet spot in Malden! >> Reasonable price + Clean + Fresh + Yummy + warm service???The bone broth and spicy butter broth are awesome. The meats are tender and delicious.The sweet sticky rice in buffet menu is yummm.Also we tried the meat in the screwers today (a la carte). It's good as well.Overall, Definitely come back ?“
“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.“
“Why can I not order wings on the Doordash app? I can order everything else but NOT wings??The food is great, service could be better.Multiple times I stopped by during lunch for wings and their excuse was "No wings right now, check back at 2 pm". I did check back after the recommended time and still no wings.. ridiculous .. A real hit or miss if you stop by the TD HUB a lot for lunch.Main reason for this review is to add "wings" as an option to order PICKUP on the Doordash app.“
“Customer on service on point when I walked in. Multiple people saying hi. Guy comes over and tells me how system works, sides then meat. Asked him for medium rare. Found a medium rare piece for me. Took me through all the meats they offer. Set me up with a great box. Food was hot, savory, and succulent. I moved nearby. I'll be eating a lot of meat.“
“A classic spot in the area. It is absolutely huge with two bars large seating areas and a takeout spot by the host stand. The bar can get crowded but I've never seen more than 3 groups seated beyond the bar high tops in the dining room so you can certainly always get a table. Beers and drinks in general are great! Pretty big menu, I've personally not enjoyed any of the food I've gotten as it all feels bland and kind of nursing-home-taste-bud cooked EXCEPT FOR the mozzeralla sticks. I could eat twenty plates of those.“
“This Vietnamese restaurant ranks among the best I've experienced for both dine-in and takeout. It was an enjoyable adventure for me. If it's your first time visiting, I recommend studying the menu and familiarizing yourself with how to eat the dishes beforehand. Even better, consider going with a Vietnamese friend to fully appreciate the experience. I found the service to be friendly. Here's a tip: When trying drinks like the raw fresh sugarcane juice, request "no ice" to maximize your value.“
“Nestled on Main St, this gem of a restaurant should be the talk of the town for all the right reasons. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted with an atmosphere that's as welcoming as it is relaxed, setting the perfect stage for any dining experience. Whether you're there to play keno, unwind with a few drinks, or enjoy a meal with friends and family, this place caters to it all with an unmatched charm.The food, oh the food! It's nothing short of incredible. With a menu that boasts a diverse selection of dishes, each plate is a testament to the culinary prowess of the kitchen. The flavors are bold, the ingredients fresh, and every bite leaves you wanting more. It's clear that a lot of thought and passion goes into the creation of each dish, ensuring there's something delightful for every palate. Especially the butternut squash!!But what truly sets this restaurant apart is the stupendous service. Melissa and Amy, in particular, are stars in their own right. Their attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and genuine care for guests elevate the dining experience from great to extraordinary. It's rare to find staff who make you feel so at home, yet they manage it with effortless grace.This restaurant is a must-visit. It's not just a place to eat; it's a destination where memories are made, and good times are guaranteed. So, the next time you're pondering over where to dine, look no further. This place has it all, and then some.Kid-friendliness: Awesome kids menu. My kids love it“
“If you haven't visited, you are missing out. We were there on a busy Saturday night. The place was full. Everything was so clean and orderly. There were many employees walking around making sure everyone was okay. The live music (you have to make a reservation for a table in the extra room) was amazing. The guitarist played many genres new and old. Our server was always checking in but not overbearing. The drinks were cold and delicious. The passion fruit caipirinha is a must. The food was delicious. My wife got food by the pound. I decided to go with a portion order. Everything was so fresh and good. Definitely going back soon.“
“Food: 74/80 (92.5%). We ordered a variety of meat skewers, corn, cold noodles, and foil enoki. Everything was delicious especially the corn, foil enoki, and lamb skewer. Only lost some points because some of the beef skewers were slightly dry.Service/Atmosphere 8/10. Service was quick, good atmosphere.Re-eatability 8/10. Quite a big menu, not too expensive.Overall: 90/100. Very chill vibes and great food. Will definitely be going back as I think they have a lot of unique food on their menu that you don't see often at other restaurants.“
“What a perfect little BBQ place in Arlington, MA! When you enter, you place your order at the cash register, and they tell you when your food is ready. There is no table service. I ordered the North Carolina pulled pork sandwich without the bun (for GF) with green beans and baked beans. The portions were so large that I took half of the pulled pork home! Three other people in my party ordered the BBQ burrito and thought it was delicious! Another person ordered the Texas Hot Links Platter, and they also took home leftovers.There were multiple choices for the flavor of their homemade BBQ sauce, and I actually bought a bottle of their original sauce to bring home! The shop had only 3 small tables for seating, but many customers were picking up take out.Dietary restrictions: Right away I asked which of their foods contained gluten. The person who took my order was knowledgeable and pleasant. They easily explained that their meats and most sides were gluten free while the obvious things such as Mac&cheese, the cornbread, and the sandwich buns were not.“

“I was checking on the review and it read 666 reviews. I thought it was not an auspicious number and hence reviewed this business. I have never been here but I always cross it on my way to work and it smells amazing and the crowd is always great. ??. I will be visiting soon.“
“You guys are absolutely insane if you do not rate this restaurant 5 stars their steak tips are phenomenal and so tender, moist and flavourful. Their seafood is fresh their ribs are the staple here the meat falls off the bone literally amazing all around the staff Is very friendly What more can I say but just go see for yourself And if you want the best espresso martini Rigo is your guy!!!! One of the best bartenders there hands down!“
“Consistent throughout the years. Prices have jumped quite a bit but I'll happily pay for their high quality steak tips rather than cheaper, lesser quality elsewhere. As always, the antipasto salad and rice pilaf never disappoint. The staff is always very sociable and quick to joke around with ya. Originally from Massachusetts and now in Manchester NH, I gladly make the drive multiple times a year. Also I quite enjoy the old feeling of the place as it hasn't changed one bit since I was a kid 30 years ago but as old as everything is, it's always very clean.“
“Nice little place in Winthrop. Atmosphere is great. Good selection of craft cocktails and craft beer.Food was hit and miss. The vinegar flavor to the pulled pork had a nice zing to it but was a bit overwhelming. The burnt ends were flavorful and tender but could have been crisper. The spicy slaw and mashed potatoes were spot on.I'd like to come back and try some other dishes, including the BBQ fries. And I disagree with other reviewers comparing Blackstrap to places in the Carolinas and Texas. I didn't expect the place to be internationally competitive. It's good for Boston and worth a visit.“
“L Street Diner is a neighborhood gem! Although known for their delicious breakfast selections, including an Irish Breakfast, and amazing brick oven pizza, you can't miss with the rest of the menu! Best Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad, Roast turkey dinner (and calzone) with Turkeys roasted on-site daily! Their BBQ is amazing and don't forget dessert with cakes and pies bakes fresh every week! Beer and Wine selection available! TV on with sports and rarely ever a wait!“
“The best char siu in Chinatown!Duck, chicken and pork belly are also very good. Scallion dipping sauce is a must.Service can be a bit brusque at times but don’t let that bother you. The food is well worth it.Take out & cash only. Highly recommended.“
“Tried out The Porch last night and was so pleasantly surprised! There was a live band playing so the ambiance was great. They had run out of hush puppies so we got the honey butter biscuits instead and they were great. We got a brisket tray and a rib tray, each came with 2 sides, and split everything. There was not a single disappointment in the bunch, everything was amazing! I thought Smoke Shop was my favorite bbq in Boston but The Porch just took its spot. Can't wait to come back!“
