Restaurants in Watertown

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.”

“We ordered the grilled chicken & beef banh mi. Both were fantastic and HUGE! Ate mine for lunch two days in a row. Service was also extremely warm and friendly. Will be back soon!”

“The best chicken..:definitely”

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención”

“Certainly the best Persian food in Boston. Must try the Koobideh”

“very good food decent price . will return for more...”

“Casual atmosphere, good service, and good food.

Parking: Parking in back enter at Dunkin then go to your right.

Kid-friendliness: Seems to be very kid friendly.”

“The food here is amazing! I was skeptical based on a quick scan of the menu (Caribbean & Mediterranean??) but everything exceeded expectations.”

“Fast service and food is amazing every time!”

“Love this Pokebowl here! Good ambience, clean restaurant, nice staffs, and they have kids menu!

Parking: Arsenal Yards has plenty of free parking in the building”

“Amazing and authentic south Indian food. We had kuzhi paniyaram, podi dosa, egg kothu parotta and parotta with chicken salna - everything tasted great , fresh and felt like you would have it in home.

Highly recommend this restaurant”

“I love their food jun our server she is great”

“I wanna say thank you to the Jana Grill restaurant for the delicious food! I really liked the Armenian kebab, the restaurant is cozy and comfortable. There was an event on this day, but this did not affect the service time, there were a lot of people and i want to say thank you to Dmitry, sorry if i misspelled your name, this is a waiter in a black shirt who helped me with the choice from the menu, especially with dessert it was delicious, very good service! I will definitely return to you. Thanks to the owner of this restaurant for such staff I will recommend this restaurant to everyone!”

“the lunchbox meal was delicious! reasonable prices”

“Just had food delivered for my birthday last night for the first time. Absolutely amazing quality taste and presentation. My husband and I are both disabled so not going out much. We felt like we experienced being there. Delicious!”

“The best baklava in the area! Have not tasted anything fresher. Other places ship in, they make it right there. Great customer service and they have so many products.”

“What a cute coffee shop and bakery! I had the espresso soda, a cranberry scone, and a bag of black sesame short bread. The espresso was very flavorful and well made with good crema. The baked goods are incredible, lovely textures and flavors. It's sometimes hard to find a really good scone that isn't overly sweet and this really hit the right balance. Great service as well.”

“Mighty Squirrel just opened in watertown. They have amazing beer collection. They recently launched tapas manu around the world. Must try aloo tikki. Around the world series - INDIA beer is must try”

“The food was exceptional. I've never had chicken breast that tender from a restaurant. The sugar snow pea salad is a great starter. If you like spicy & sweet, the Tamarind Grilled Shrimp are GREAT! SERVICE: Our bartender was friendly, talkative when they needed to be, and attentive throughout service. They got a little busy and took some time getting us our bill after we completed our meal. I would still come back but prefer to get the payment ball rolling once the experience is over. Overall 9/10 and great experience.”

“Best burger in town and I love the sweet potato fries!”

“This is the second time in one week my friend and I have chosen this restaurant as our destination for food, drinks, and merriment and we were not disappointed.The staff is a delight, both times we were greeted with a warm smile and they were very knowledgeable recommending dishes and levels of spice. The naan bread is delicious and the appetizers and entrees we ordered were amazing as well bursting with so much flavor. The cocktails were crafted with precision and so much passion from the wonderful bartender. The live music is great! We definitely recommend Chulo restaurant and plan on returning again and again!”

“So glad to see you open 6-8 pm Fresh quality ingredients. Everything I have ordered has been excellent!”

“Excelente lugar, la comida deliciosas y muy buena atención”

“Thank you for a nice chicken parm dinner. It was very good and a nice portion. I'll be back!”

“Persian bakeries are hard to find. We drove over an hour to get here and were not disappointed. Everything is delicious and fresh as can be. Lots of good stuff is not on display so make sure to ask.”

“I went with my family on a road trip and stumbled across Johnnie’s and we absolutely made the rite decision! The wings are fenomenal and the calzones are so delicious as well! So happy we stopped in to eat here! Also the service was fantastic!”

“Enjoyed a delicious brunch here today - they also serve their regular menu all day. Staff was friendly, beautiful space.”

“I love the pizzas, of course! My favorite: a white Roman with fresh spinach and tomatoes. Yum!”

“I wouldn't call the noise level energetic as much as LOUD the music wa bumping and we had to scream to talk to each other and we are only forty we aren't even old people looking for something to complain about.”

“Five stars. Service was amazing and food was all made using fresh ingredients. It tasted homemade and it was lovely. We had a nice chat with the cashier, she was a very lovely and welcoming lady.”

“I highly recommend Greg’s restaurant. My best friend from high school Nikki who 41 and I who 41 love to go here . We go frequently. Our favorite. Nikki is in love with the summer picnic salad and literally gets it every single time we go. She knows she likes it so she goes with it kind of like Sheldon on the Big Bang theory. I love this salmon dinner , salmon bowl , grilled chicken dinner , Their veggie burger , the crunchy Chinese chicken salad and both quinoa salads . We went last night and Nikki had piece of strawberry shortcake. It was huge and so good she said . They are noted for their desserts. Bear desserts and meals around! Nikki also loves their clam chowder. Last night dining down in the pub section where we love to go we had the sweetest waitress Britney who said she remembers us cause we go a lot. We’ve had another young lady waitress with glasses couple tones who’s sweet too and a young handsome male waiter who’s awesome too. Greg’s makes best pickles too. Greg’s great place to get a great meal and dessert! We go to the East providence location on Pawtucket Ave.”

“Delicious vegetarian/vegan and gluten free friendly food. The Gobi Manchurian Cauliflower is delicious.”

“I’m honestly glad that I waited to post my original review with a lower rating and thought through the experience a little bit more. As always, I find it a bit harder to review fusion spots. Not just any fusion either, but one that is all over the world map. It’s easy to just nitpick one dish and use it to judge everything else; but what about that is remotely fair?

For example, their Beef Rendang (a dish that I’m very familiar with - including the different regional renditions) is more like a hint towards what “real” Beef Rendang is. I don’t even need to speak on behalf of the Filipinos regarding their adobo (which I also grew up on) who are infamous to show up on public forums to criticize and say “that’s not how my grandmother makes it” (lol).

What did come to mind is the old quote that many often find negative but actually was meant to be a positive phrase (if the last part isn’t so often omitted). “Jack of all trades, master of none, though often times better than a master of one”.

That definitely applies here with their style of food. There’s a lot going on and a good portal to the true potential of each dish. Definitely give them a try! Portions are good and the food is definitely tasty!”

“I love this place- the vibes are good, the coffee is delicious, the staff are nice. However, in the last 3-4 weeks, the hours are not updated online or on their site, they don’t pick up the phone to confirm if they are open, and they have closed early by hours or shut down for days at a time. I’m not sure what is happening, but it would be great if the hours could be updated online for people who don’t live within 5 min and make a 15-20 min trek to come get great coffee!

Thank you”

“cute family owned pizzeria. professional, dedicated to service and food. I wish i had found it sooner.. close to 250 Arsenal research park. great option!

Parking: you really can easily park and run in.”

“Excellent, excellent sandwiches and the owner is super friendly and cool. There is very little seating so it’s more of a take-out joint but there is a counter and a couple stools if you want to dine in.”

“Great wait staff…..coffee delicious”

“Great spot for food and sports. staff all great to highly recommend going here”

“Best Chinese food around and the best customer service! Always so friendly and the foods always fresh! I highly recommend”

“I had a nice dinner at Tori yesterday. Everything i ordered was fantastic. It was so fresh and superb. The server is nice and attentive. I will definitely go back. Thumbs up!”

“Delicious food, quality ingredients. Gracious service!”

“Great Staff and they Make consistently outstanding Apizza just like New Haven.”

“This place is amazing! The food is both delicious and beautifully presented. It looks impressive, and I always order here. The place is always packed with people.

One time, they brought me calamari instead of shrimp, but they quickly fixed it. I really appreciate such great service, and they even treated me to a smoothie as a gesture.

I highly recommend this place! Great food, excellent service – 4 out of 5 stars! ❤️”

“This place is really awesome. I am Greek and I love it. Restaurant is clean and updated. The service is excellent, and the owner is very nice- always remembering my family when we come in. Food is fresh and tasty. We all git something different and we all enjoyed what we got.”

“was in a last week Food was great and Denice waited on us. She was so attentive and so friendly. Such a great server! I will definitely be back and hope we get her again.”

“I highly recommend this place! They have great customer service and very quick with making their drinks. They are so polite and welcoming. Currently my favorite bubble tea place! I specifically had Zlata as my server and she was very nice and sweet <3”

“This is literally the best Persian restaurant in the "Greater Boston" area! Definitely an unforgettable experience! The food's delicious as ever! The service's + Atmosphere's 100% terrific!”

“Opens at 6am which is awesome! They have yummy coffee and MEM tea as well as a massive assortment of tasty treats (those cinnamon buns are dangerous…maybe leave those for me).

They also make cakes with 48 hours notice!!!

There is one step to get in but there may be a ramp around the side. I didn’t notice. Otherwise fully accessible and plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: One step”

“Pruducto excelente sabor muy bueno”

“We were looking for excellent Indian food and tried Chulo for the first time on basis of other reviews. We were not disappointed!! Food is varied and high quality. Our son lived in Nepal and said best Momos since he left Nepal. Try Chulo!!”

“This place has the best pizza in newton/watertown hands down. It is always consistently top notch quality. Their buffalo chicken Caesar salad is also one of the best that I’ve had. Highly recommend!!”

“A kind lady attended to me, and she brightened my day. She made it clear to me that the items being sold are to bring joy to people who are walking nearby and want something to take with them! it produces an industrial level.”

“Love everything, from warm chips and salsa to entrees and delicious drinks.”

“The food is delicious. Breakfast tostado plate is one of those dishes you find yourself craving every weekend morning. A couple of downsides though: it's impossible to find a phone number to call this place to order your food and when ordering online you can't indicate any customizations (like "no cheese" for allergy reasons for example). Outside seating is a nice touch when the weather is nice but during the summer the place is like one giant bee hive. Bees everywhere. Also once it gets cold outside, there are only a few tables inside which makes takeout and having a number to call that much more important!

Dietary restrictions: There's no way to indicate any dietary restrictions when ordering online and I've never been able to find a phone number to call to order takeout.”

“Love their hand pulled noodles (especially the you puo mian) and their liang pi!!! Great for a casual dine in meal or takeout!

FYI Cash only below $15.”

“Hafez Restaurant has amazing Persian food! The flavors are authentic, and the portions are generous. Highly recommend it if you’re craving delicious Persian cuisine!”

“Have been living in Boston for 8 years and this is the best Chinese food I have had out here. Might be the best general tsaos chicken I have had anywhere ever. Big portions, fair price, fresh, cooked to perfection. My go to is the general tsao dinner special w/ pork fried rice, crab rangoon and beef sticks. Comes with enough food for 2 meals. Ken and his wife are the best!”

“my usual go to starbucks on the weekends although this morning I wasn't very happy with having to wait 10-15 min for my drinks after my food order came out very quickly. the place wasn't even busy! 5 people behind the place and only one person making drinks one person taking orders one person making food orders. the other two walking around aimlessly. the barista making the drinks decided it was a good time to make himself an espresso as he started making my refreshers and when he drank it it dribbled from his mouth all over his shirt so he had to stop what he was doing to go clean up. not even a sorry about the wait after he put my drinks on the bar for pick up. also why are employees parking in the 2-hour customer parking spots, the signage suggests those are for customers only who I going to be there for 2 hours or less. considering it's a very small parking lot for customers I don't think employees should be parking there and taking up the space.”

“Delicious Sichuan style food. I really enjoyed the mala spicy whole fish and Chengdu fried chicken. Skip the fresh chicken with mala broth which had too many small bones to pick through as you chew. Quiet place to dine most evenings.

Kid-friendliness: No high chairs or changing tables. No kiddie cups available.”

“One of my favorite dive bars with an amazing summer menu. Lobster rolls and clams for a decent price, good portions and no wait AND you don't have to drive into the city for any of it ?? Trivia nights are also great, but sit closer to the guy because it's the pen/paper/ runner style instead of the modern ones where you submit on your phone. I love the staff here, they always get the job done right.”

“The steak fajita plate is perfectly seasoned and tender. This restaurant also has affordable house margaritas. The staff are friendly. They even bring my daughter a non-spicy salsa.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly environment. Sometimes the playing music can be loud. Changing table available in one of the restrooms.

Wheelchair accessibility: The back entrance is accessible.”

“It was nice to see something different”

“Standard pizza and sub shop, but the food is delicious, and the service goes above and beyond. My boyfriend and I always order takeout from D&D. They are super kind, efficient, accommodating, and the food is always on point. Would 100% recommend

Dietary restrictions: Menu options are made to order”

“Chicken lo mein is mid, but the scallion pancakes are fresh and crispy, and Rick serves a stiff SB, but
I love this place for more than its good and reasonably priced fare. There’s a certain curb appeal that comes from having no windows that more modern establishments are still struggling to grasp. Rick is the most gracious host/server/bartender, and I welcome any additional business in his direction even if it’s just to hear his genuine, “You’re welcome,” each and every time you politely thank him for something. It’s fun to go for some drinks with a few friends when it’s dead, and fun to go to celebrate your birthday when it’s popping. Give it a whirl!”

“We had a really nice time. I was really disappointed that they discontinued my favorite cocktail (bourbon smash). The drink they replaced it with is not as good. Otherwise our meal and service was great.”

“Finally tried this local legend! We're so glad we did. Got a Sicilian pie - cooked to perfection, fresh ingredients, yummy sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and an amazing crust. This is genuine pizza. The kind that is rare now. The Arancini was delicious too. The best part - how well everything heated the next day - few pizzas are so delicious second day now. They're so thin, charred, dry. This Sicilian pie heated up beautifully on day 2. It's the pizza of many people's childhoods - authentic! And the staff could not be nicer, helpful, friendly. A+”

“Love Dimsum,
Love Joyful garden, they do it right from the taste of the cart service,
Waiters and all.
Highly recommend if you like Asian cuisine.
Easy to park at Best buy and Target lot.
Weekends will be a line to be seated, they don't take reservations, but definitely worth the wait.”

“great waiter tonight with his funny face mask 🎭 .. great wine the lemon pasta is to die for I'm love with this place .. great recommendetion thank you for your hospitality 😊 also a restaurant chef and I give 5*****”
