We had appetizers and soups which were delicious! We decided to take our meal home. It was too much for me.I highly recommend if you don't have issues with loud noise.”

Merrimack Valley Sandtrap Bar and Grille 210 Howe St, Methuen Pubs • $$
210 Howe St, Methuen

“Came here for Valentines Day last minute. It was great. Not only because it wasn't busy (as every other place is on this night) but because we had amazing service and delicious food.We walked down the hall, our 3 year old son in tow... 3 of the ladies immediately awed at his smiling face. My son was excited and they're reaction was so welcoming. Then we seated. It's not a super fancy place as in fine dining. It was pretty. Very clean. Quiet.I dislike loud busy bustling places especially on Valentines Day, quality is low, service is lacking- this was far from that! In every best way possible.Jamie was our waitress. She was attentive, friendly, smiling & had a great presence about her.We ordered the calamari, truffle fries(for our son who is obsessed with fries), cheese quesidilla (for our son), the lobster fra diavolo special & fish tacos. everything was great (beans were very salty, they came with the tacos- Didn't bother me I dont really eat them anyways).Price wise, I think the tacos and the quesidilla were over priced. tacos had rice that was plain & salty canned tasting beans but the tacos themselves were fantastic. Cheese quesidilla with just sour cream and pico seemed too much for something very basic.Maybe some better dessert choices? They don't make them in house so I didn't get any which is a bummer, because I love desserts. Nothing special (esp on Valentines day) about strawberry cheesecake, warm lava cake (pre-made), or tiramisu. I can get that anywhere.All in all it was nice and I would highly recommend it. I would come back 100%.Thank you Jamie! I hope you see this or a manager does and recognizes your amazing service!!Kid-friendliness: high chairsWheelchair accessibility: elevator”

“I have yet to dine at Yallas. I have taken out food from there. The chicken and beef shawarma on Syrian bread is good eatin'.You can have it regular or Lebanese way. The latter has some hummus or Tahiti in it not sure what else but it is delish especially they heat the wrap in the oven which gives it a nice warm crispness I like.Parking: Parking is right in front of the restaurant. Usually plenty of space. Unless the lounge next to it is busy. Just certain hours & days”

Plaza Azteca Mexican Restaurant · Methuen 552 Broadway, Methuen Mexican • $$
552 Broadway, Methuen

“So delicious! It’s a Mexican restaurant in the East Coast. So. Expect a little wait. I am from South Texas.. other than not offering charro or borracho beans and only offering refried beans .. I think it’s pretty good! The price is definitely more lol but again Mexican in upper east of the coast. I personally ordered the # 5 on the combo list. It was pretty good. I would ask for no cheese sauce on the burrito. The guacamole was delicious. I tipped that guy for sure.The complimentary chips and salsa- the salsa needs some more flavor and salt but it’s fresh and so are the chips.Second plate ordered was the burrito fajitas. The meat was bomb. But again I’d order no cheese sauce on top. The rice and refried beans were good too. I love Tex Mex but this place is pretty good even by a Mexican from Texas standards.”

“Went with a large group. Service was excellent! My meal was just OK. Pastrami sandwich was a little tough and lukewarm with no mustard or sauce. Waffle fries, which were supposed to be shoestring potatoes, were dry and hard. Other meals looked better. Salads were huge and loaded with protein. Easy access and good parking.”

“After hearing about the animatronic removal, I rushed across my state to visit this place. The place was very well maintained, the arcade selection was great, and the Chuck E Cheese animatronic was in great condition. it is therefore unfortunate that this animatronic is being removed in April, according to employees. As for the food, it wasn’t bad at all, but it isn’t the best ever. Would recommend.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free pizza was great.”

Sahara Club & Restaurant 88 Oak St, Methuen Middle Eastern • $$$
88 Oak St, Methuen

“Band; Jim Porcella was outstanding! BIGGEST COMPLAINT: get rid of what you think are rugs!!! They are more like blankets being held down to the floor with duct tape. I almost felt two times. A handicap friend of mine that came in with her walker had the biggest difficulties. And other people at my table almost fell as well. What the hell are they thinking?! The food was wonderful! But the servers left a lot to be desired, especially the girl. The only thing I ordered for food was chocolate cake and a scotch. The scotch came right away. I had to ask for times for the cake and she still didn't bring it. So I asked the mail server and he immediately brought it. What I ever go back? No too long of a drive from Boston from me having to drive in a rural area in the dark. Other than that, the food and the entertainment was wonderful! Thank you”

Every food item we have gotten has been exceptionally good, and the drinks are inventive, delicious and strong. The bill is always reasonable and the staff is so warm and fun. It caters to locals who sometimes raise an eyebrow at you, but that's part of the charm.”

“I went here 3 weeks ago, dined-in with friends, and absolutely loved it! I got the country fried chicken with gravy, as well as, loaded steak fries. Would definitely get again! The chicken was fresh, hot, and crispy (tasted like it was cooked in bacon) - delicious! The gravy was perfectly placed on top so that there were bites with crispy chicken and smothered gravy.Went back tonight and got 2 chicken critter salads to-go. Impressed yet again! The food was made fast & fresh - 15 minutes flat, at 5:30! I believe there may have been an extra portion of bacon, as well as, hot bread with their signature cinnamon sugar butter! Definitely going back - Cheers!”

“I was in Twaithes across the street the other day and decided to go in on a whim. I saw the sign saying they had Caribbean food, and wanted to get some empanadas and tostones. The owner insisted I try some of the other food they had, and man was I glad I did. I didn't want to just take free food from him, but I couldn't resist. My kids raved about the rice and beans, and he also gave me some sort of slow cooked ribs. Holy hawk were they good. I grew up in Methuen, (went to Oakland Ave elementary school) but don't live that close anymore. Regardless, I'll be back, and I highly recommend the Caribbean food options. So good.”

Olive Garden Italian Restaurant 90 Pleasant Valley St, Methuen Italian • $$
90 Pleasant Valley St, Methuen

“Dined there last night and the food was as great as always. I got the Chicken Scampi, everything was on point. It was unfortunate that a customer allowed their child to shriek out and run around the restaurant. I know there is nothing management can do, but it is still a pet peeve. The reason I have a concern is that I walk with a prosthetic leg and tripping over a child is NOT a good start to the evening. I can absolutely guarantee you the Olive Garden’s food is better than what they give you at Holy Family Hospital. Anyway, the one issue the restaurant can address is the hostess’s attitude, it stunk. She just threw the menu on the table and didn’t say a word. Aside from the server’s lackluster attitude and the child running around, the meal was very good and my server was very good. I will be back.”
