I've been coming here for a while now, but a recent event impassioned me to leave this review.Let me start by saying that firstly, the food here is ALWAYS delicious and cooked to perfection. Never have I ever received something done badly, spilled, or over/undercooked.Secondly and lastly, the employees and manager here are very kind and understanding. Today, I put in an online order for a pizza, but through either my error or my phone's internet connection error, my comment of "no mushrooms please!" did not attach to the order. When I arrived, my order had mushrooms on and I told them that I had put "no mushrooms." Without fuss, I was told that they would make another pizza for me right away. While I was waiting, I realized that the comment did not attach for some reason, and quickly apologized for my error. They were entirely understanding and even let me keep the second pizza free of charge!This interaction of them "honoring" MY error was wonderful and will keep me coming back for a long time! Combine that with the fact that I heard they give free pizzas to the elementary school students nearby, I gotta say that this restaurant has become one of my favorite places to come to. Delicious food and good company, what more could you ask for!

A lovely family neighborhood restaurant with huge portions and great service. Nothing fancy, just a good neighborhood eatery and bar.

We had to take a detour on our way home due to construction one day and passed by Echo. We made it our mission to come back that way and try it out and I am so glad we did!! The food was so comforting and the everyone there was so nice. Our server Ernesto took great care of us and had great suggestions.

I am giving Echo Bridge 5’s primarily for hitting me in the feels. Haven’t been here since I was a little kid. Echo Bridge has not changed much since my last trip years ago. If you are looking for fancy or modern, likely not your place. But if you are looking for the crowd who prefers Dunkin, here you go. Echo Bridge has been in business since 1962. It’s located across street from Hemlock Reservation where the Echo Bridge over Charles River is located. The falls were running strong yesterday. Food is primarily Italian & they also have American fare (burgers, fries, ..). I had pizza which was huge & loaded with toppings. My husband had a burger which he rates excellent . Drinks are real good & fairly priced. For metro west Boston area prices are lowish. Our waitress was very kind & doing her best. Unfortunately she was only waitress on in dining room on Saturday night. What most amazed me at Echo Bridge is no one had their cell phone’s out. Felt like a diner crowd with all shapes, ages, & sizes. People were talking, laughing. Hope they are able to get right staffed soon.Dietary restrictions: No gluten free or gluten free as a preferenceParking: We arrived early for dinner & found spot on street. Note, there is parking behind restaurant. Theirs is a busy city/ suburban neighborhood

I used to hold this place in high esteem. Tonight, it was beyond atrocious. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Echo Bridge has jumped the shark.

The food is good but basic. There are a lot of choices of typical bar-food. They have Trivia a few nights a week, which is a lot of fun. The drinks are fairly priced. A fun place to meet

The first time I went here was fun and the food was very good. This was my second time for half-price pizza. It took over an hour to get the wrong pizza toppings. 3 of us ordered 1 pizza each, and 1 pizza came over an hour later with all of the toppings of all 3 pizzas on it. They didn't charge us for that one and "rushed" us the correct order. The server kept apologizing for the delay, but it took about an hour and a half to get the pizzas we ordered. The outer crust was delicious, but the bottom was soggy, and toppings were minimal. I don't recommend the pizza, but the turkey tips were delicious, and our server was great.

It's not the Ritz The food is consistent. The drinks liquor good. Always room. Parking tight but good. Huge huge veal parm

Very solid Italian food with a big menu. Have been in person a few times, but being close, we get take out a fair amount. I like the chicken rigatoni a lot and the lobster ravioli is solid as well.
