Restaurants in Waltham

“The food is great. I always get the taco special. The ingredients are fresh.
The only downside is the waiting area. You are packed like sardines in line to place or pick up an order.
I would definitely suggest calling ahead and placing an order for takeout over the phone.
There are a few tables for sit-down dining but the room is very tight and crowded.”

My husband and son ordered a calmelized onion and red pepper version and I tried the vegan veggie pizza. We were thrilled at how delicious each slice was and we loved everything, from the taste of the dough to the generous amount of toppings and how incredible the vegan cheese on mine tasted so amazing...yes my husband and son both swiped slices of mine... it was that good. So happy we found you Enzina....my new favorite ....can't wait to try other dishes and the canoli too!!! We are so grateful for such a wonderful meal!!”

“Delicious food and excellent service!!”

“I have been nothing but happy with my ordering from AK's. The delivery charge is minimal and the delivery is super quick. Even when I order around lunch time, with the order tracker, I can see it leave the restaurant promptly. Each delivery driver has been very friendly. I am in love with the soup of the day! Worth it, all around!”

“The service and the food is amazing. I highly recommend it.”

“Excellent nachos, came back just for them!”

“Love their dosa and chole bhature !!!!”

“So, we had planned on, reservations for eating outside but a rain storm moved in. They were able to accommodate us (party of 3) at the bar. The bar staff were amazing. The food was excellent and the beer was cold and excellent. We'll definitely go back.”

“This place is wonderful!!! Great food, and decor. Even the Ladies bathroom is chill. Shout out to Sam our server who was so cool! Definitely coming back :)”

“I remember going there as a kid and getting there warn French bread, square pizza, lemon squares, and raspberry turnovers! Family treated you like family!”

“We had a last min no reservation bday dinner for my grandmother here, where we were seated by Tauseef and his team immediately and served! We ordered a bunch of food for our large group and enjoyed!

Thanks for the lovely experience as we visited Boston! Great selection of north and South Indian food, and indo Chinese food!”

“Went in for my birthday dinner. Service was great and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back again.”

“We went for Thanksgiving because our family was out of town. We were seated immediately but we were not rushed. Amanda, our server was excellent and the food was paced correctly and prepared perfectly. We opted for a filet and a Delmonico rather than the traditional turkey plate the offered on the menu. I am so glad we did! We ended with dessert - pumpkin cheesecake and pistachio profiteroles. Needless to say, we happily waddled to our car with smiles on our faces.”

“Simulators are legit and it feels like you are outside playing on the actually course you've selected. It's a nice vibe and a great bar to watch games or golf on and the pizza is amazing. (get the sweet heat, it wont disappoint) They also offer leagues and spots for parties/events. If you're looking for a spot to work on your game this winter, grab a beer and watch some sports I highly recommend Birdie Bar!”

“Loved the food, the service, great place 🙌🏼”

“Creative cooking with a variety of options. Inventive cocktails, too. Superb service is attentive but not overbearing. Needs to install sound absorbing materials.”

“An impromtu visit to celebrate a work win. Always a fantastic meal, my wife's favorite steak prep method with the butter on her ribeye. The creamed spinach and au gratin potatoes are big faovorites too. Wine and coctails were equally satisfying and very well prepared. Service was very polite and timely but not obtrusive. Never an easy task and usually a challenge keeping our teenager's water glass full and napkin supply sufficient! We'll be back again soon!”

“This fabulous restaurant never changes! It's as I remember it 30 plus years ago when I used to meet work friends for dinner when working in Waltham. I met up with 3 work friends recently and the memories came flooding back. They have kept the restaurant in great condition, the Service is friendly and attentive, and the food is amazing! I love the old school atmosphere and different dining rooms. I had the toasted ravioli with meatball and meat sauce with a side salad. Perfect portion for lunch. Prices are so reasonable. So worth the trip from the South Shore.”

“My 8 and 10 year old and I LOVED eating in the restaurant and our whole family loves it as take out and delivery. In particular, my kids loved the ramen saying it's the best they've tasted. We all loved the sushi (SO fresh) and I particularly loved giving the Sushi Chef (who I hear is a master who would love to practice his craft creatively off menu when given the chance :) my loves, preferences and any dietary constraints and he just surprised us w/delicious stuff of his own creation. It's become our favorite!”

“Great food, great service. Classic 1948 stainless steel diner. Convenient onsite parking.”

“Good place for a quick and satisfying lunch. These banh mi’s are served on fresh shatteringly crispy bread and they are filled with the protein of your choice plus jalapeño slices, cilantro, mayo and carrot and daikon pickle. I see some reviews complain about no pate but that is usually only in the cold cut banh mi. Staff are helpful and efficient. We got our food made to order in just a few minutes.”

“Outstanding! Great food and drinks, we are regulars. We took friends from the mid-west, and they said Margaritas was the best Mexican restaurant in the U.S.A.”

“Years ago, when I was a student in Boston, I met Osman in a Turkish restaurant. He was kind, hardworking, and always full of warmth. Seeing him now as the owner of this wonderful Turkish restaurant filled me with pride and gratitude. Osman’s hospitality, generosity, and genuine heart was into every detail of this place, from the warm welcome at the door to the last bite of dessert. And the food is absolutely phenomenal. Every dish has authentic flavors of Turkey, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented, and made with love. From the tender kebabs to the fresh mezes and perfectly flaky baklava, it was a feast in every sense. You can feel the care and tradition in every bite. This restaurant isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to feel at home, to celebrate friendship, and to savor life. Thank you, Osman, for creating such a beautiful space. We’ll definitely be back! ❤️”

“super amables yo les doy un 100”

“Foods are delicious. My first experience in this restaurant was great. Tasty and delicious food.”

“Great owners and food. They aim to please”

“What a cute restaurant with delicious food! It's a bit unassuming from the outside along a busy street, but Fin's has a bright, open atmosphere inside. We enjoyed lunch on a late Sunday afternoon and highly recommend the beef fried rice, Chirashi sushi bowl, and the tuna poke bowl. The poke bowl was a unique and deliciously fun surprise with strawberries, mango, and avocado. The bowls came with miso soup, and everything was fresh and yummy. Great find in a busy neighborhood and close to 95.”

“Keep an eye open for this spot. Great atmosphere as you enter. Friendly and attentive staff that still gives you room to breathe. Chicken sandwich is great but next time I need to dig in to one of those burgers.”

“Unquestionably the best steak n cheese anywhere. I’ve been to South Philly and tried both Pats and Genos. I’ll take real American cheese over cheez whiz Thank You. Not to mention there is no attitude like the above mentioned”

“Extremely friendly service/ Grabbed a coffee and a cranberry-orange muffin today- the muffin reminded me of my grandmother’s recipe- so moist!!! 👍”

“Good matcha and savory croissants are awesome”

“This is what I LOVE about being vegan.
Besides delicious food; the strangers (patrons) start talking to you as soon as you walk in: and an owner/ cook whom is doing what he loves and is so modest you have to force him to take a tip.
First time there; but definitely not the last!!”

“I have been going to Grassfields for many years and have been very pleased. The past few times I have been there I ordered the broiled scallops and have been disappointed. The muscle on the scallops are not removed which are very tough to eat. Also I feel they are gritty. I am hoping that someone reads this and corrects the issue because Grassfields is a lovely place.”

“We’ve been coming here since they opened. Their menu has evolved and it’s a go to for the Waltham/Watertown/Newton area without having to go into Boston.

The ingredients are fresh and the place is clean. Lately we’ve been going weekly for dinner and it never disappoints. Their liquor/drink selection is a great bonus as well!

Highly recommend if you’re in the area~”

“Caffé Ollo in Waltham is such a hidden gem! The Italian Caprese Toast Sandwich was fresh and flavorful, while the Chicken Salad Croissant and Classic Ham & Cheese Croissant were buttery, flaky, and absolutely delicious. I also loved their pastries – the Blueberry Cheese Danish and Blueberry Mascarpone Slice were light yet indulgent, and the Strawberry Cake Slice was the perfect sweet treat.

Their smoothies are amazing too – you can really taste the difference with the 100% real fruit. The Berry Berry Smoothie was refreshing, the Mango Smoothie was tropical and smooth, and the Harvest Green Smoothie felt both healthy and tasty.

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and high-quality food and drinks make this place a must-visit café in Waltham!”

“Unbelievable food! We got the dip trio, spinach pies, swordfish kabobs and lamb kebabs. I couldn’t believe how tender the swordfish was. Staff was very kind as well. Will definitely be back”

“Love coming here…my favorite sport”

“I recently moved and used to be a couple minutes away from this place and will really miss it. The servings are very generous and the prices are fair. A nice hidden gem if you’re ever on moody st. It’s almost always empty inside but don’t let that fool you!”

“Went to this restaurant after seeing it featured on Phantom Gourmet and my husband and myself left full of good food. The food was tasty and came to our table ready to eat and the service was great! They gave us everything we needed in a timely manner. The restaurant was on a smaller scale but we got a table pretty quickly without making a reservation. We even had the dessert of the strawberry shaved ice which had a bowl that was big enough to easily feed the two of us and it was very delicious!”

“Excellent ice cream place! Tonight went there for the first time and head black raspberry chip it was really good. The owner is a great guy too talk with him at the register. I highly recommend this place.”

“ Four of us went on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was nor fully booked. We ordered appetizers dinner and dessert. The chef came out a few times to see how we were doing and we were able to take our time and enjoy a very relaxing dinner.”

“First time trying this place and it was amazing! We got the roasted chicken, plantains, yaroa, and chicken & beef patties. Everything was tasty, and the sauce they gave us was great. Very authentic vibe and the staff were helpful and friendly. Will definitely be going back!”

“The food is delicious. I have been going to the downtown location for many years. I was happy to find they have this location as well. The menu seems to be the same, same great taste. Great price as well.”

“Coffee, deli, & ice cream are all amazing!! Highly recommended!!”

“I recently learned about this place through my friends and had a great experience. The food was well prepared especially the Ma Po tofu and the Spicy beef in Sichuan style. They also offer a wide variety of cocktails and beer. The service was excellent and the food came out decently quick. Overall this spot delivers authentic traditional chinese food, excellent service, and a comfortable atmosphere. I recommend this place especially if you enjoy spicy food and sichuan style Chinese food”

“Solid non dairy/vegan pizza! I was looking for non dairy options and decided to give this a try. I wasn’t disappointed! Taste was great although impossible meat can’t beat the taste of actual chicken/beef.

I got the Shekh Kabob Pizza with vegan cheese. Didn’t get any stomach discomfort/issues at all. Very impressed.

Paid $26 for a medium pizza which is expensive ngl. Also, this is a takeout only store.”
