“We've only done takeout but it's been great. The ambience of the restaurant seems good- when picking up you have to enter the dining area. The food is delicious! We haven't experienced dine in service but take out was fine.”
“This place is the best authentic Italian restaurant in the area, hands down. You won't find chicken parm on the menu, which is perfect in my opinion. The service is awesome because it's a family business and they all genuinely care. The ambiance reminds me of a typical place you would find in one of the little hill towns in Italy. The chef and owner will accommodate any requests within reason! Love this place!”
“Fantastic place with excellent beer. The owner is an amazing human being who made a spot for me when it was closed for a private event and I was in need of a drink. You can see that kindness in his excellent handcrafted IPA. Highly recommend it!”
“We were a party of 4 older women. The noise level was great because we could talk and enjoy each others company. The food was terrific. The waitress was attentive and helpful. Definitely would recommend One Bistro!”
“I absolutely love Minas Cafe Steakhouse. Great food, friendly staff, clean and reasonably priced! I eat there twice a week every week and they never disappoint.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Ordering online was super easy. They even have a feature to order ahead & have a set pick-up time. Brisket & Ribs were both well cooked & tender. The portions across the board were very good.”
“I've had their Indian food and their pizza. Everything was really good. The Indian food is some of the best around, and surprisingly so is the Pizza. I like that their large pizza is 16" (as they should be). Given the good taste, quality, and portion sizes, their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend”
“Great Italian restaurant, food was really good and authentic, good portion too. The service was very friendly and efficient. Will be my go to itialian place for ”

“This was my first time eating at Minerva after hearing rave reviews from my family for months! We came for the weekend lunch buffet and it was amazing; so many options, fantastic food, and great service. This will be a regular spot for me every time I visit Boston!”
“Atmosphere nice , brew ariste was very nice and accommodating at the counter. I had a sample of fiver (hazy ipa) nice and smooth. Not too hoppy. Very smooth. I also had the rice brew which was nice taste. Tried the stout. To strong for my palate. Good atmosphere…”

“What an adorable place! It's decorated so cute, definitely a place to sit (plenty of seating) and enjoy something sweet. There's tons of international snacks to choose from in addition of ordering from the counter for ice cream, donuts and a ton of different drink options. Ordered 2 chocolate and a cinnamon mochi donut- buying more lowers the cost per donut. And a honey lemon green tea with Boba per their recommendation and it's sooo good! Super refreshing. It totaled $20.33, and was able to pay via Venmo. We will be back!”

“This place is very warm and friendly. The food is awesome but the service is the best. The girls are all very quick and do an amazing job when the place is packed on a Saturday morning. I have moved away, but will drive back into town to enjoy the homemade corn beef scrambled egg special with jalapeños.”
“I would say the food and the service are very good. We came here for the first time after having a bad experience in another Italian restaurant in Norwood. We can't complain. Food is always fresh, the hostesses are pleasant and make you feel welcomed. Thank you!”

“Indulge in the finest glass of orange juice in Norwood, MA, at Sunrise Breakfast! ?? This charming, family-owned establishment boasts a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the friendly owner to the delicious food, including delightful GF French toast and pancakes, every visit is a delight. Sunrise Breakfast is one of my top breakfast spots in Norwood!”

“Great fast/casual restaurant. Low-key atmosphere. We got 4 tacos and the avocado fries. The avocado fries had breading that wasn't that exiting, but it came with a cilantro ranch that was wonderful. I got the vegetable taco, my husband got the pork belly taco and we each got a pastor taco. Each were very good. Excited to try some different tacos next time! There were many other types to choose from. The service was prompt. We had a nice meal and a nice time today. I'd love to try some of the tasty sounding beverages they had on the menu next time. Will certainly go back. The restaurant is in the Norwood center area - it doesn't have it's own parking, but there is quite a bit of street parking and a lot of public lots within walking distance.”
“YUM. From Texas, and this place hit the spot.My partner got the flautas. They were nice and crunchy but filled with tender chicken and cheese that oozes out when you took a bite and topped with salsa, the best flautas we have ever had.I had the chicken encebollado, which is grilled chicken served with grilled onions, rice, beans, salad, and thick tortillas. Absolutely delicious! Chicken was cooked perfectly and the orange salsa was extremely tasty.Staff was helpful, friendly, and the food incredibly fresh. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Celebrated family birthday lunch at Masa. Chef put on a fun performance cooking our orders (Hibachi Deluxe and Sea of Japan). At the end of the course, the waitress put on the mini-mouse costume, played birthday music and brought a complimentary ice cream Sunday for our birthday guy. It was a great experience.”
“After seeing a post of the pepperoni pizza on facebook... we had to go for ourselves. I got the cheese pizza and the boyfriend got baked stuffed haddock. Everything was delicious and I loved the pizza. Our waitress Linda was so pleasant and so efficient. Great dinner out and definitely will return ?”
“I usually only do online orders for pick up, and even these are usually doing down hours, so it's always very quiet when I come in, and no one is immediately managing the pick up register, still I never have to wait long for someone to notice me, and the food is always delicious.”
Online Reservation Available
“First time going on a whim we were looking for a place and this popped up. The first thing I asked is this north shore roast beef the very friendly person behind the counter did not hesitate and said a resounding yes. I ordered a super beef 3 way and it was delicious the only slight if the beef was just a little warmer it would be 10 of 10 but 9.5 is still great.”

“Another good time had at Lewis’s! The french fries & OVCs are the main reason I come back (some vegan options would be nice) but the vibe of sitting in the OG seating near the keno sipping the OVCs with the fries and great company is the best.”
“Went here in a group of 4. We got the miso ramen, kimchi ramen, 2 chicken katsu, shrimp tempura, & cheesecakes & fried ice cream. The food was really good all around. We had some mishaps with the cheesecakes but the manager was really kind & fixed it for us free of charge. It took us a while to get checked out, but they were understandably very busy. I would come back for the food & atmosphere.”
“The best Chicken parm sub around, owner very nice person everyone should definitely go there! Everyone there are friendly and awesome! If I could’ve gave 20 stars I would!!”
“I had a really nice time at Golden Abacus. We eat at it's neighbor, gyro and kebab frequently and I wanted to give it a shot. We were seated promptly and received our food quickly. We both got dinner combos and I really enjoyed the food. My husband and I both thought the amount of food was good value for money. I really enjoyed the food and so did other folks in the dining room. I heard one woman telling the waiter that she comes down from Jamaica plain for it and she'd brought her daughter to try it. Now, that's a rave! I am not sure I'd drive from JP for it but it was solid Chinese food. The parking lot for this set of businesses can be a little intense if it's busy, but it's usually fine. Also there is a psychic next door if you want to spice up your outing.”
“Highly recommend. A lot of dishes can be customized - I get at least once a week pad see ew (ask for vegetarian sauce and no egg). The excellent scallion pancakes are vegan by default. Spring rolls are great too!”
“Last minute choice for a group of 12 ,no problems .. went right in ( on a Saturday) everyone loved their meals and beverages. Staff was especially helpful! Thank you.”
“I've now been to Jake and Joe's three times with my boyfriend and have consistently been impressed with the food, atmosphere and service as well as the prices! Portions are generous and our food came out quickly. Last weekend, I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries and he got the California Chicken Club. We split the steak rolls as an appetizer. Their menu is enormous with a lot of variety including some healthy and GF options. All of the servers are friendly and attentive. This place is family friendly with a chill vibe and is ideal for sports fans (they have several large screen TVs) or anyone who just wants to relax on a Friday night. We will definitely be back again! Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 5 stars”
“Great Turkish food, always fresh and delicious. You can’t go wrong with any dishes here. Our favorites are kofte, lamb gyro, lahmajun, pide with lamb…you have the option of ordering small portion or a full plate. Prices are reasonable, you can have a main dish and a soft drink for 25$. It has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of seating for groups and families - and a patio for summer days. It’s worth a trip every now and then.”
“We had my 30th bday party at Limey’s this past weekend and it was everything I was hoping for. Great food, great live music, and the best staff. Stacy was amazing and helped plan our menu the week before the party and made sure we had a good spread and amount of food for our guests (about 30-35 people). Stacy, Jenna, and Kelly were amazing the night of the party bringing out the food and getting everyone drinks on a very busy night. Couldn’t have asked for anything better!”
“Yay finally had a chance to visit this place recently. There is free street parking in front of the restaurant, making the pickup process easy. It is a takeout only place for now. I originally tried my order on its website, but you cannot pay online. I then tried my order via the Yelp app. Unsurprisingly, the prices from Yelp order is higher than its website. It's common practice (higher charges on a third party platform), so I was fine with it. The Yelp app gave me an estimate on the order time, but didn't provide completion updates. By the time I got there, my food was already ready and waiting for me. The owner (I think) greeted me warmly. The food is very good! The price isn't "cheap", but you are supporting local businesses. I have to say the entrees are on the sweeter side. I don't normally have Moroccan food, so I'm not necessarily used to the taste. The Paprika's Moorish Grilled Wings were so so good! Overall, very good quality food! Highly recommend it!”

“The aroma when you enter Guarino's makes you feel like you're in a North End bakery. The authentic Italian pastry, shorter lines with great service, and free parking make you wonder why you drive to Boston for pastry so often. Try the delicious sweet creamy-filled Zeppole (St. Joseph's Day, March 19th, specialty). The apple dumpling is the best! Cookies, cakes, pastry, bread, you can't go wrong whatever you get.”
“I've had their Indian food and their pizza. Everything was really good. The Indian food is some of the best around, and surprisingly so is the Pizza.

“One of the BEST scones, lemon squares and hand pies I have ever had (& I have a sweet tooth!) and the HAND PIES - no joke I watch a grown man actually jump for joy after biting into the Buffalo chicken hand pie - ha,ha. Chef Edith truly puts all her passion into her cooking & it shows. Love that I can also grab frozen items to go and heat at home after work - so delicious.”
“I ordered two meat pies and got the chicken and beef. I had them for breakfast and they were delicious! This tiny place has great prices, amazing selection, wonderful quality, exceptional service. This is a diamond in the rough. Don't know how they aren't crazy busy. If you go here, you will want to come back and try everything they have to offer. Yes, the meat pies were small, yet they were not expensive and they were a great breakfast treat.”
“This is my first time going to Murphy's and I could not believe the size of the portions in the quality of the food. My son was very close in Norwood and he couldn't stop talking about it at him and his family come every weekend so we had to try it and we would not disappointed we look forward to coming back.Kid-friendliness: There were so few kids in there and they all look happy and it was great meals made especially for small children.”
“I simply loved it. Was visiting my friend in Boston and we went there on Sunday. I loved the nachos that they great you with as soon as you are seated ... yummy with the sauce. You can get as much as you want ( but don't fill your stomach before you get your food ) ??? nice and smiling staff. Ready to help but some don't speak English. One waiter was nice but didn't bring me a fork for like 15 minutes, had to go and ask for it myself. Bathrooms relatively clean. Liked the food but it was my mistake regarding what I ordered, just made the wrong choice compared to what I expected. I will go there again for sure.Ohhh i was about to forget???????? make sure you order the guacamole yummy yummy yummy.. HUGE portion and the nice thing is that they are generous with their portions.”
“Great Italian restaurant, food was really good and authentic, good portion too. The service was very friendly and efficient. Will be my go to itialian place for ”

“Not a lot of room inside, or places to sit, but delicious options and fun flavors.They have protein donuts by request, and waffles and sandwiches.I did wish my sandwich had a little more Nutella, but it was definitely more of the proper servicing size than I normally spread.The low calorie teas weren’t very good to me (I tried the cucumber one), but I did like the Mangonada.”
“After seeing a post of the pepperoni pizza on facebook... we had to go for ourselves. I got the cheese pizza and the boyfriend got baked stuffed haddock. Everything was delicious and I loved the pizza. Our waitress Linda was so pleasant and so efficient. Great dinner out and definitely will return ?”
“The staff at this pizza shop always goes above and beyond to provide excellent service. The food is consistently delicious and the quality is top-notch. It's a reliable choice that never disappoints.”
“Checked out Maha Juice Bar in Norwood as part of a Yelp event and it wasn't bad but it's not something I'd drive out of my way for either. The offerings are limited and overpriced considering it's over $10 for a ham and egg and cheese plus another $10 for a smoothie that was super thick and had to melt before it was drinkable and left me with extreme heartburn so I never finished the orange, pineapple coconut smoothie. Actually, I didn't even eat more than a few bites of the sandwich because whatever cheese was on it didn't really go well with and I wasn't really in the mood for breakfast at the time. Overall, I did like the that everything is served in a sturdy to go box that keeps it warm...I had to wait 15 minutes before I could eat it because it was too hot Servers were very attentive and offered suggestions when asked what their favorites were. #caitlinscleaneats #4yearyelpelite”

“If you want a great breakfast that is very reasonable priced, you have to come here! THE best around the Norwood area! The owners are fantastic! And I love the look of the diner. Other than a fresh coat of paint, it's has the old time feel to it.”
“Amazing sandwiches. So fresh. So clean. The braided sesame rolls are fluffy and heavenly. Well run place. Always flawless. Try the chicken salad or rare roast beef!!”

“We visited this place twice and are happy with menu & tasteHave given 3* for atmosphere as this place has a very less space between tables and too chaotic if only around 3 families dine in at the same timeMust try: Murchi bhajjiDo not order any indo Chinese as you will be disappointed”
“The food and the atmosphere are very good. They do a good job of accommodating food preferences. I'm honestly not sure where they rank in pricing, because my friends and I enjoy gathering there. The service is usually good, but the place can fill up and that can slow things down a bit. For our friend group it's a "place where everybody knows your name"...lol”

“Had a Great lunch at Yamato Hibachi & Sushi ?.We ordered the Filet Mignon Lunch Special ? on The Hibachi . It was Prepared by The Talented Hibachi Chef Franky?? who created a Delicious Meal ?for us with Amazing Flare ? .The Service was Excellent ?I Highly Recommend.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“The food was great ? my experience for being the first time was great I didn't know there was a Dunkins in the cut. The Atmosphere was good no complaints. I will be back. great customer service and fast food delivery.”
“Tried the new steak egg and cheese bagel. Not bad for a fat food place. The sandwich was very salty but overall OK for a quick sandwich. Won't likely buy again. The strawberry banana smoothie hit the spot.”
“It feels strange giving a McDonald's a perfect rating, but I think this location deserves it mainly for the drive through. Service is quick, friendly, and the food is always exactly what you'd expect. When I go to McDonald's, that's all I ask for, and this location delivers on that.”
“It’s been more than that seven years coming here easy Fife time a week I love the coffee stuff is great. It’s been a couple days. You put the tip option on drive-thru most of the time I tip but this new option makes me uncomfortable you already are expensive specially last year when everything goes up 40% so pay your employers more money don’t force us to give them tips I will not spend even a cent anymore in Starbucks”
“Considering other fast food establishments I’ve been to over the years, I have had people there always look miserable or they were wicked rude. It was refreshing to interact with Bradley, Beatriz and the crew were so hospitable, kind, funny, efficient and fast. Our food came out really hot too, which is not usually the case.Kid-friendliness: The crew here treated my nephew with respect.”
“Stopped in quickly to grab breakfast. There was little to no wait. The staff was very friendly and did their jobs very well. The location was very clean inside and out. Our order got slightly messed up and was corrected right away no problem at all. Definitely a Wendy's location I would visit again.”
“Conrad’s Norwood is a gem worth discovering! From the moment we stepped in, the spotless scent and warm greeting set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The friendly hostess welcomed us, offering a choice of seating, while Kristy, our attentive server, went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.Starting with their seafood chowder served in a delectable bread bowl, brimming with generous chunks of seafood, it was evident that Conrad’s spares no expense in quality. The flavors were perfectly balanced, showcasing a dedication to culinary excellence rarely found elsewhere.For the main course, the Captain’s Platter and seafood risotto further impressed, each dish bursting with flavor and expertly seasoned. As a self-proclaimed food enthusiast, I appreciate restaurants that take pride in their craft, and Conrad’s Norwood undoubtedly earns my seal of approval. Whether you’re a seafood aficionado or simply in search of a memorable dining experience, Conrad’s Norwood is a must-visit destination.”
“They truly are the tops when it comes to handling the high volume holiday events! I would never think to do anything else but Honey Baked Ham for our holiday events! It is actually tradition for our family!”
“First time eating here and it won't be my last. My husband had the chicken chili and the sauce was amazingly tasty!! I'm a vegan and the menu has lots of vegan choices.”

“Norwood's Best kept secret. You will not find better thai food ANYWHERE in New England. Monica and her staff make the most delicious and authentic thai food around. It is ALWAYS SUPER FRESH. So tasty. Reasonably priced. My personal fav is the Chicken Basil - and they will make it as spicy or not spicy at all. Just ask. My husband is a HUGE fan of the pad thai. It really does not matter what you order. It is all fantastic. You will be SO HAPPY if you give this a try. Best food ever. Been going here since it opened.”
“My new favorite pizza place. Buffalo chicken calzone is top notch. I have been living here for years and never even realized this gem was here, what a mistake! The only pizza place I will order at from now on.”
“Home made cream cheese. Multiple flavors. Cream cheese is comparable to life’s a bagel in canton (my childhood bagel spot). The bagels are pretty good too. Again not as thick as life’s bagels. I grew up one town over and this place has great bagels and cream cheese. The honey walnut cream cheese and the olive cream cheese are both incredible but a little pricey. Great local bagel spot.”
“If you're in Norwood this is the place to go to. Brunos treats their customers like family, they are always friendly when I come and their pizza is the freshest and best in the area. I highly recommend”
“The chicken salad is the best chicken salad in the world. I don't think it can be replicated at home. The guys will make a sub or you can buy a tub of the chicken salad and take it home to make sandwiches. Buffalo chicken salad is also too notch. They have good chip selection. Very friendly service. No frills.”
“Just happened upon this place last week and decided to give it a try. Their salads are terrifc and I plan on givng other items a try soon. Very nice and friendly people to deal with.”
“The food and service is outstanding! Baba Ghannouj and Shawarma were delicious! I will definitely be ordering this again! This is our go to for lunch at Dedham Savings!”
“If your about quality organic like components Mustang Pizza is better than that! If the crust is not as expected, the sauce & cheese are a basic pizza, it can be complemented in any way you like by the exceptional products & service oriented service at Mustang Pizza! Ambiance is what you make it, it's your call.”
“Saturday Night Karaoke with Charlie, is a great time! Diverse group of singers, friendly bartenders that remember your name, and food and drinks are served fast! Definitely check this place out (any day) but Saturday night 9pm in particular.”

“Great subs, great staff, i'm from out of town and it's the first time I came here. I'll be coming back for sure!Vegetarian options: I saw the menu, great optionsParking: Practical”
“Very clean location with friendly staff. I've had a couple different sandwiches Including the #6 and #9 Mikes way with mayo and banana peppers. While the food is always fresh, I think the meats could use a bit more flavor, this is not a location issue but jersey mikes in general.”
“The coffee/espresso is great and the staff are friendly, engaging, and helpful. It's also a great place for me to get some work done in the mornings.Dietary restrictions: I have a lactose allergy and the staff who have helped me have given me great recommendations on what to order to avoid dairy.”
“I ordered the egg toll, pork fried rice and the moo shi pork. Best egg roll I have ever had!!!! Rice wasn't great but not bad. The Moo shi was perfect, except they didn't send the sauce with it. Other than the missing item, very solid. Courteous order taking and delivery. I will order from here again.”

“Surprisingly good Irish pub attached to a hotel. They have the obligatory Irish beers and a nice sampling of Irish food staples that all hit the spot. Don't hesitate to stop in for a Guiness and some beef stew.”
“Hadn't been there in a while. Had a new bartender I think I heard his name was Shane - he was excellent. Service was great, food was great, had the chicken marsala. Bar area was very busy - nice to see them doing well.”
“I just hope your new “Chicken Laal Maas” takes your rating from 3.9 to 4.5. Incredibly a wonderful dish that I tried today first time…so tasty!! Keep the same recipe always.!! :)”
“People are following one stupid video who cares foods good quick and that’s it mind your business keep it moving stop judging this owner everyone swears everyone is verbally abusing someone or has done it in a lifetime look in mirrors before you try tearing someone down for god sakes ….racism don’t get me started the way hole world hates against everyone …bye stop in then feel how you will but stop judging this man he works hard trying to own a business mainly food where he cooks cleans serves and more leave him alone and keep it moving”
“Nice atmosphere. Large place had the fresh rolls which were delicious and shrimp pad Thai. The pad Thai here was particularly good because it was not swimming in an overly sweet sauce. Which is what you find at most places. It was well flavored and had a hint of stirfry to the noodles. More authentic, than the typical American approach, as I noted. Would definitely come back again.”
“Last minute choice for a group of 12 ,no problems .. went right in ( on a Saturday) everyone loved their meals and beverages. Staff was especially helpful! Thank you.”
“I've now been to Jake and Joe's three times with my boyfriend and have consistently been impressed with the food, atmosphere and service as well as the prices! Portions are generous and our food came out quickly. Last weekend, I ordered the Chipotle Chicken Wrap with sweet potato fries and he got the California Chicken Club. We split the steak rolls as an appetizer. Their menu is enormous with a lot of variety including some healthy and GF options. All of the servers are friendly and attentive. This place is family friendly with a chill vibe and is ideal for sports fans (they have several large screen TVs) or anyone who just wants to relax on a Friday night. We will definitely be back again! Food: 5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 5 stars”

“This was my first time eating at Minerva after hearing rave reviews from my family for months! We came for the weekend lunch buffet and it was amazing; so many options, fantastic food, and great service. This will be a regular spot for me every time I visit Boston!”
“This place is the best authentic Italian restaurant in the area, hands down. You won't find chicken parm on the menu, which is perfect in my opinion. The service is awesome because it's a family business and they all genuinely care. The ambiance reminds me of a typical place you would find in one of the little hill towns in Italy. The chef and owner will accommodate any requests within reason! Love this place!”

“Decided to check this place out when I was in Norwood and I'm glad I did. These bagels are good!! You walk in and you're transported back into an old soda shop, with tons of vintage decor and hundreds of sodas to choose from. You then follow the walkway, where you will end up at the bagel counter. The bagels are freshly made, and are sitting right in front of you. They allow you to pick your own if you want to buy them to go. I wish they had a glass door in front like at supermarkets because I'm a little bit of a germ freak but it's probably fine. Then as you make your way down, you end up at the register. I ordered my go-to, which is a sesame bagel, toasted, with plain cream cheese. I also wanted a coffee, but I think they're going under a renovation because I didn't see a drink menu. But the nice guy assured me they had coffee and he asked how I wanted it. I stuck to a small iced with caramel. Hopefully they get the drink board up soon as I heard another customer was confused. The bagel was very fresh and the cream cheese was great. Coffee was good too, but the bagel was the star of the show (as it should be!). This was a busy "spot" on a weekday, so I can only assume what a Saturday morning looks like here. All in all I really enjoyed my experience here and would come back!”

It totaled $20.33, and was able to pay via Venmo. We will be back!”
“Considering other fast food establishments I’ve been to over the years, I have had people there always look miserable or they were wicked rude. It was refreshing to interact with Bradley, Beatriz and the crew were so hospitable, kind, funny, efficient and fast. Our food came out really hot too, which is not usually the case.Kid-friendliness: The crew here treated my nephew with respect.”
“Manager and drive thru attendant, on Friday April 19th, at approximately 1 PM. Handed me the wrong order, and when I complained, she reacted with a horrible attitude.”
“Great burrito bowl and great portions, with the quick service that is expected at Chipotle.The dining area leaves room for improvement. The soda machine was out of half of the options, and there was no ice. All of the tea and lemonade options were out as well. Tables were not clean and trash was completely full.”
“The Greek food was amazing. Prolly the best pita bread I’ve ever had. Save room for dessert because the dessert menus as big as the food menu?. I recommend the cheese cake and baklava ice ”
“I simply loved it. Was visiting my friend in Boston and we went there on Sunday. I loved the nachos that they great you with as soon as you are seated ... yummy with the sauce. You can get as much as you want ( but don't fill your stomach before you get your food ) ??? nice and smiling staff. Ready to help but some don't speak English. One waiter was nice but didn't bring me a fork for like 15 minutes, had to go and ask for it myself. Bathrooms relatively clean. Liked the food but it was my mistake regarding what I ordered, just made the wrong choice compared to what I expected. I will go there again for sure.Ohhh i was about to forget???????? make sure you order the guacamole yummy yummy yummy.. HUGE portion and the nice thing is that they are generous with their portions.”
“This is the best Taco Bell around. I'll drive the extra half hour to not visit the one in West Roxbury and instead go to this location. They're consistently quick, the staff is very friendly, and the food is always fresh and great!”
“Indulge in the finest glass of orange juice in Norwood, MA, at Sunrise Breakfast! ?? This charming, family-owned establishment boasts a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the friendly owner to the delicious food, including delightful GF French toast and pancakes, every visit is a delight. Sunrise Breakfast is one of my top breakfast spots in Norwood!”
“The food and service is outstanding! Baba Ghannouj and Shawarma were delicious! I will definitely be ordering this again! This is our go to for lunch at Dedham Savings!”
“First time going on a whim we were looking for a place and this popped up. The first thing I asked is this north shore roast beef the very friendly person behind the counter did not hesitate and said a resounding yes. I ordered a super beef 3 way and it was delicious the only slight if the beef was just a little warmer it would be 10 of 10 but 9.5 is still great.”
“Checked out Maha Juice Bar in Norwood as part of a Yelp event and it wasn't bad but it's not something I'd drive out of my way for either. The offerings are limited and overpriced considering it's over $10 for a ham and egg and cheese plus another $10 for a smoothie that was super thick and had to melt before it was drinkable and left me with extreme heartburn so I never finished the orange, pineapple coconut smoothie. Actually, I didn't even eat more than a few bites of the sandwich because whatever cheese was on it didn't really go well with and I wasn't really in the mood for breakfast at the time. Overall, I did like the that everything is served in a sturdy to go box that keeps it warm...I had to wait 15 minutes before I could eat it because it was too hot Servers were very attentive and offered suggestions when asked what their favorites were. #caitlinscleaneats #4yearyelpelite”
“Atmosphere nice , brew ariste was very nice and accommodating at the counter. I had a sample of fiver (hazy ipa) nice and smooth. Not too hoppy. Very smooth. I also had the rice brew which was nice taste. Tried the stout. To strong for my palate. Good atmosphere…”
