ChewOnThis Welcomes You by Kiat Cormier

Strip T's (93 School St Watertown, MA 02472)

The beers on their list are interesting and I wish I could have tried each of them.I had the Milk Stout from Left Hand Brewing. Awesome. The other beer was from MA and had the word "fisherman" in the name. Also, awesome. The cauliflower appetizer was excellent and very reminiscent of Ssam Bar. The fried chicken was also great. (Really great, actually.) The burgers that were going out to the other tables definitely made me wish that I ordered a burger, too.

Meat Spot (28 Mt Auburn St Watertown, MA 02472)

Prosciutto lover -- prosciutto is cut so thin, it literally melts in your mouth. No joke! People throw that term around like it's nobody's business, but I'm dead serious. That sandwich was undoubtedly one of the greats in my life...Hot Pastrami Sandwich -- also very, very good. The boyfriend ate most of it, but of the bite I had, I can say pastrami is still the reigning champion of deli meats for me. Service is out of this world Fast easy and yummy

Eagle's Deli (1918 Beacon St Brighton, MA 02135)

Eagles is pretty good. nothing stellar or out of this world. If you're like most people, everyone has that "Diner" type place in their hometown that is a MUST VISIT sort of place when visiting home. Eagles can satisfy that urge when you aren't able to make it home. The burgers are good, not the best - but they WILL fry and egg on it for you which is A+ to me. Eagles is that place I will go to when I want to get fat!!

Summer Shack ( Boston MA)

Great seafood spot, with an unusually laid back atmosphere for this type of place in this town. Most seafood restaurants are snooty affairs, but the Summer Shack's butcher-paper tablecloths encourage you to eat with your hands. The oyster list is impressive, the traditional clambake is fantastic (hard-boiled egg, potato, sausage?), and the ever-changing specials can't be beat. Beer is the drink of choice here, which goes nicely with the fare. If you're looking for Masshole experience with a decently priced budget, check out the Summer Shack.

Captain Marden's Food Truck ( Wellesley Ma)

The lobster-mac-n-cheese doesn't try to hide the lobster's natural flavor, as some other trendy places might do. As a lobster fan, I loved this, bug if you want something that doesn't have too strong of a seafood flavor, get the regular mac.The fried platter was pretty good too! Granted, it's the normal fried platter you'd find elsewhere, but again the food wasn't greasy at all, and it was quite fresh, with some of the better fried scallops and shrimp I've had. If you have enough room left over, get a piece of pie! The lemon meringue is a perfect was to end the meal, and the lemon flavor almost accompanied the meal! All in all, if you see this truck PULL over and grab a bite!!

Country Kitchen (181 Sudbury Rd Concord, MA 01742)

If you're in the area and want a honest to goodness sandwich that tastes like your Mom made, check this place out. Their specialty is turkey sandwiches made with turkey breast they roast right there. I had a turkey club and it was great. The only knock is the bread, which isn't anything special (my wheat was a light wheat like you buy at a supermarket). But it tasted great and I'll go back again

Franco's Trattoria (365 Boston Post Rd Sudbury, MA 01776)

Terrific little place. Small unassuming shop in the local shopping center that has excellent homemade Italian food at great prices. The pizza is great and they offer a huge selection of everything from sandwiches to pasta entrees. they also sell beer and wine which is a plus. Very family friendly or for a quick dinner. Prob not best for a first date or if you are trying to impress. Go for the food and friendly staff though.

Only One Jamaican Restaurant (160 Norfolk St Dorchester Center, MA 02124)

Only One Jamaican Restaurant brings authentic caribbean jerk at it's finest. Although I could hardly hold back the tears between bites, the jerked chicken I got was simply fantastic. The staff behind the counter was both helpful and friendly. I don't know much about West Indian grub, but they helped me pick out the perfect selection. It was a bit on the spicy side for my taste, but if hot is your thing, this item will do the job. If you aren't, they have large selection of excellent, exotic dishes. Some of them include seared goat and kingfish. I'm definitely planning on going back in the near future

CK Shanghai (15 Washington St Wellesley Ma 02481)

Keep it real short..This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I eaten at. The Fried Calamari appetizer is out of this world. The Eggplant Pot w/Beef is a surprise. All of the dishes are fresh, original and worth the trip. The Garlic Lobster is beyond belief.

Allora Ristorante (139 Lakeside Ave Marlborough, MA 01752)

I've been here a few times now and have not been disappointed. The calamari appetizer is out of this world and highly recommended. It's not chewy like most places. I've also had Chicken Parmesan, Seafood Fra Diavolo & Baked Stuffed Lobster. The Lobster Macaroni and Cheese is absolutely delicious. I look forward to my next visit and trying something else. If you're looking for Italian and are in the area, Allora is a must.

Casey's Diner (36 South Ave Natick MA)

Yea its a "diner" as in your typical side of the road out of a restored box car kinda deal, but lets be honest nobody comes here for anything else but their awesome hot dogs and burgers. Who thought a hot dog could be so amazing? Boiled to perfection and slopped together in less than a minute for you, these babies are so good its proven literal torture to try and eat just one. I'm a cheese with everything man, but most days I like to keep it simple as an all-around. I cannot ignore the fact that they do serve a killer burger, though. I had one for the first time a few years ago due to the stellar recommendation from a friend, and was pleasantly surprised by the juicy goodness explosion that occurred in my mouth a moment later. It don't know if I would drive two towns over to get one the way I would their dogs, but it was still very good and worth noting. Thanks for not selling out Casey's, as you will forever have a place as a clogged artery in my heart

The Aztec (2 Waverly St Framingham, MA 01702)

What I liked about this place was that it was legit mexican and no frills. The chips and salsa were awesome. Chips were hot and salsa was fresh. I would have liked a bit more spice in my salsa, but that's just a personal preference. I ordered another chips and salsa and they charged us $2.50 and didn't tell us they would. Not a big deal. The food came out super fast and tasted great. I took a bite of just about everything on my dad's plate and everything tasted awesome. The chile relleno was one of the best I've ever had. Vernon (dad) had a green chile tamale on the side which had the greatest salsa verde ever. All and all not a bad place not bad prices and good drinks so check it out ASAP

Cafe Mangal (555 Washington St Wellesley MA 02481)

The food is amazingly delicious for such a small establishment. Portions are generous, and the food cooked with love!!! I had a slow braised lamb nestled on eggplant - sultans choice... Divine!!!!! Shared 3 appetizers to... Superb! BYOB, the family personally tends to the table. The aromas and flavors are deep and exotic but not overwhelming. It's small and packs a hungry crowd. Make reservations, bring a crisp dry white, rich ashen soiled red, and enjoy a lovingly prepared, exotic and simple meal.

Amarin of Thailand (27 Grove St Wellesley Ma 02481)

The restaurant's decor is really nothing special, but it's down home comfortable with tables and booths. The main dining room is at an odd angle, so people who freak out from MC Escher drawings may be disconcerted. Service here is very good and the folks are generally friendly and accommodating. Prices are surprisingly cheap for some dishes, more expensive for big entrees. Tasty fresh food! Start out with Satay anything and wish that they could make a pool full of their peanut sauce to swim in. Mmmmm peanut sauce pool. The vegetarian rolls are OK, but lack some character, even with the sauce. Maybe they should add some basil to them. Tom Klang soup is my favorite: a lime-ish coconutty affair with tasty chicken and those Thai flavors I love! From there, entrees are your choice and everything is darned good. The thing I like about Amarin is that the food isn't GREASY at all. I leave most Thai restaurants stuffed so full of greasy Pad Thai that I need a stomach pump. However, Amarin's dishes feature light flavorful sauces and fresh meat and veggies. Highly recommended are Lover's Scampi (sexy sexy curry), Chicken and Cashews, and anything with duck. Daffy won't thank you, but your tummy will!

Ten-Ichi Dynamic Kitchen and Bar (1400 Worcester St Natick MA)

The atmosphere is really nice. It's well kept and is nicely decorated. As soon as I walked in, the entire waitstaff seemed really nice and welcoming. The server was fantastic! Super nice and did an amazing job explaining everything (e.g. the sauces, specials). Started off with Japanese Style Friend Chicken. It was nice. A bit pricey at $6 for a relatively small amount. At the end of the day, the food is still good, so no major complaints there. The spicy mayo paired very well with the fried chicken (a bit like dark meat chicken nuggets). The Hot Pot was really nice. An order of a hot pot "meal" includes a noodle or rice, assorted veggies, and your dish (e.g. Surf and Turf). I got the Surf and Turf with lamb. The lamb tasted fresh. The surf portion consisted of three pieces of pretty good fish, three shrimp, three "homemade" fish balls, and some squid. The shrimp had a tender fresh from the ocean taste (in a good way). The squid, however, was a little disappointing. The assorted vegetables were definitely the best part; probably since I enjoy veggies the most. Nice selection. They were not cheap filler veggies like some Chinatown hot pot places. They had a Chilean Sea Bass special. Fantastic. Highly recommended. Overall, no major complains. Great service. Good food. Not a bad place to go.

Hops N Scotch (1306 Beacon St Brookline, MA 02446)

The decor is very different from FINALE (the prior occupant) but the soothing browns and comfy seats are very inviting and welcoming. I can see this place becoming a happening hot spot for drinks and bites to eat to give a run for the other area bars for their money. But they stand alone in their outstanding menu of spirits. The Scotch Egg with the spicy chorizo was amazing! loved it and wanted more! The fried Chicken Livers were delicious (a tad little over cooked) but the accompanying bacon dipping sauce soothed and cooled the saltiness a notch. While the salad was typical with a generous portion of big croutons and greens, it was a smidgeon bit salty for our taste. Pork chop topped with apple-poblano chutney and a side of green beans with cherry tomatoes: excellent. Pork was cooked perfectly (perfect char marks), chutney was delicious, veggies were crisp and flavorful (and seasonal). All in all, I think this place is going to do great because it's in Coolidge Corner, which is starving for places like this. It falls way short when compared to other established beer bars in the area, but that is to be expected.

Watch City Brewing Co ( 256 Moody St Waltham, MA 02453)

They Now Serve Bacon Beer..Most interesting amongst the numerous other bars which are a staple of the Moody Street nightlife, Watch City stands out amongst the rest as you won't be finding any major beers on tap here, as they brew everything themselves instead. And while some of them don't always hit the mark, most are more than decent and are varied enough to catch just about anyone's interest. From stouts and porters, to summer-style, lighter beers and even weirder ones like bacon or spearmint flavored ones. Their menu features daily specials - on Mondays, they have a fisherman's platter for $20 - Tuesdays has spaghetti and meatballs on there, and there's more specials for every day of the week, each handing out generous portions for a pretty good price. But despite all of those, the meal itself I think was pretty forgettable. There was no unique twist, something to let the food standout. While it was good, it just was what you'd find it every other typical bar which isn't always a bad thing... but... not original by any means. Over all Watch City is family-friendly and features some nights for families with kids to dine out. If you're looking for a great fun dinner-and-a-movie location, hit Watch City before a showing at the Embassy next door and you can't lose.

Charlie's Beer Garden (10 Eliot St Cambridge, MA 02238)

Most of the food on Charlie's regular menu is junk food, but it's top-shelf junk food. Their array of fried potato products is stunning, they make a high-value lobster roll, and the draft beer selection is better than average (and, more to the point when it comes to deciding where to have lunch in the Square, better than the draft beer selection at Shay's). Their beer garden may be the coolest thing that's ever happened to Harvard Square. That's a bold statement, but I'm prepared to defend it because in my lifetime almost all of the changes to the Square have sucked. So if you have time and feel like enjoying good beer stop by here and check it out!!

The Bearded Pig (445 Somerville Ave Somerville, MA 02413)

As a barbecue enthusiast, I'm always looking for places around Boston that can do barbecue right. The Bearded Pig does not disappoint. Management clearly gets what barbecue is all about--they're not pandering, or trying to get away with subpar product, even though many other restaurants do that due to the less-than-robust barbecue scene in New England. Amazingly, this place does great pulled pork--they use a good rub, the pork gets good smoke penetration, and they've got a very tasty mustard/vinegar sauce to go along with it. The creamy cole slaw was another highlight, as was the mac and cheese. I also tried the brisket, which was trimmed of enough fat to make it so you're not chowing down on a half inch of gristle, but had enough left so that it didn't dry out too much in the smoker. The Bearded Pig also makes its own banana pudding--the most fitting homemade dessert for a barbecue joint, and it also happens to be a personal favorite. Bananas, custard, NIlla wafers and whipped cream. Heck yes. If you live in the Boston area and you're looking for quality barbecue, look no further and give this place your business it's worth it!!!1

Owen O'leary's (50 Turnpike Rd Southborough, MA 01772)

It's not fancy but Owen O'Leary's is a good place to go for a beer and hang out with friends. I visit occasionally to have a drink and play some pool. The food is okay but nothing special to write home about. The waitstaff and bartenders I've encountered have always friendly and overall the place has a nice atmosphere. There is an outdoor porch area for the summer. What more could you ask for? 25 cent wings! and 99 cent pizzas!

Yoki Japanese Restaurant & Sushi Bar (485 Massachusetts Ave Cambridge, MA 02139)

Yoki's SUSHI MENU features classic sashimi , royal hand rolls (IE. "Tthe Bruins Maki": "a spicy cooked salmon, cucumber, and cream cheese roll topped with salmon, tempura flakes, spicy white tuna, tobiko, scallions, sweet sauce, and spicy mayo"), and a little bit of everything in between, including a whole page of cooked sushi. Yoki also offers traditional JAPANESE STANDARDS (apps like edamame, gyoza, and deep-fried oysters). Entrees include teriyaki...all the usual suspects, hibachi steak, and boiled eel. HINT: Save room for dessert: red bean or green tea tempura FRIED ICE CREAM!

Granary Tavern (170 Milk St Boston, MA 02109)

Downstair bar scene is very cool and chill while upstairs is live and fun with the great views out to the Greenway! Really enjoyed the burger with their own specially made bacon and a egg on top! Lobster roll also excellently prepared, light on the mayo so done just right. Thats all I have to say so get yourself there..

Cast Iron Kitchen (177 Main St Maynard MA)

The food was tasty - not five stars tasty but definitely up there. I had the swordfish puttanesca because I absolutely love pasta puttanesca. (Or things with tons of salty anchovy/caper flavor it it in general. Mmmm..) The swordfish was excellent, as was the puttanesca sauce, and came with really delicious brussel sprouts on the side. It did, however, come on a large bed of so-so white rice which looked nice but could have been more flavorful, or even just a bit smaller. Service was attentive, homey, and very personal - I get the impression that the staff are all pretty invested in the restaurant and are really interested in seeing happy customers and having the place succeed. I hope it does well.

Bullfinchs (730 Boston Post Rd Sudbury MA)

The restaurant itself had a classic upscale irish pub look to it. Food was incredible and the chef prepared all courses in front of us. Very fresh crab cakes and mussels. Filet was great, Creme Brule' outstanding. The overall decor was intimate, cozy, and romantic and it was nice that they had Irish music playing in the background, not too loud but just loud enough that you could still have a conversation with someone and not be shouting to be heard. I really loved the fact that they had these encased glass windows with flames shooting out of some contrapcion, but it was very cool.

P.S. Don't be scared off by the location right on Rte. 20. The ambiance inside (and under the tent, weather permitting) makes you forget that cars are zipping by outside.

Paani Pure Indian Cuisine (621 Boston Post Rd Ma)

been looking forward to trying Paani, which finally opened this week. In short, the food was fabulous! The ingredients were fresh and the sauces surprisingly light, flavorful and complex. The Nan was delicate, served steaming right out of the oven. Malai Kofta (vegetable patties) had a fresh-veggie texture and flavor, and the Vegetable Samosas were tender with a fluffy filling. The portions were on the smaller side: 1 appetizer + 2 entrees was just enough for two people. We ate at the restaurant, which is decorated in vivid color, with an open and modern feeling. The service was gracious, but slow and very disorganized. There was a steady stream of takeout customers too, and some of them had to wait a long time. It seemed like Paani wasn't expecting as much business as they had: they'd already run out of takeout menus, only had white wine (no red), and apparently did not have enough kitchen staff on hand.

Dolphin Seafood Restaurant-12 Washington St Natick, MA

Dolphin serves fresh, delicious seafood from a large and varied menu. Its prices are somewhat below those of Legal Seafoods a few miles up the road, but the quality is equivalent, in my experience. The bar is well stocked and the selection of specialty drinks substantial. They make a good mix drinks and more. They have a lobster bake with the usual sides and a twin lobster special as well and to me lobster is lobster unless your sitting next to the ocean eating it. Their clam chowder is pretty good as well. I wouldn't drive out of my way to hit the Dolphin but if you are in town go ahead and check it out and for all you people that like cheap food make sure you get there for their happy hour!!

Mel's Commonwealth Cafe-310 Commonwealth Rd Wayland, MA

This place is great for breakfast on the weekends. They serve off their breakfast menu all day on Saturday and Sunday. So, no matter how late you sleep you can always go to Mel's and get something yummy. The food is good and I really like this place because they offer so many different breakfast options. They have the normal greasy spoon food but they also serve some healthier choices like yogurt pancakes, turkey sausage, egg white omelets. I'm getting hungry..Be careful on weekends as there is usually quite a wait if you dont happen to get there before noon. Large parties (more than 4-5) can be difficult to seat as most of the seating are diner booths, but they do have an area that can accommodate.

Bistro 20-120 Boston Post Rd Sudbury, MA

Had a okay experience the few times I've been here! I sat at the bar each time and was impressed the bartenders and drinks! I got one of my favorite Italian dishes, Shrimp fra Diavolo. The menu had Lobster fra Diavolo listed, but I was not to sure about lobster there, so I got shrimp, and it was quite tasty. Could have been a bit spicier, and I noticed that the marinara was separating a bit. There was a layer of oil at the bottom of my plate by the time I finished. Marinara doesn't need that much oil however There was a lot of shrimp, and I really enjoyed my meal. I'll definitely be back. I hear the pizza is great

Hoy Hing-525 Washington St Brighton, MA

This place satisfied every chinese food craving I ever had while living in Brighton...and for $25 total! Sesame chicken, chicken and broccoli, crab rangoons (i could see ACTUAL crab pieces!), spare ribs, pork fried rice, and egg drop soup...not one single item we ordered disappointed. Yum, yum and more yum. All delivered in under 30 mins by the happiest delivery man of all time. Doesn't get much better than that.

Fast Eddie's-1696 Commonwealth Ave Brighton, MA

This spot is legit. What more do you want in a corner pizza shop? They do all the staples right (pizza, subs, etc) and they also have a good Greek menu. The service is great, they'll make pretty much anything to order, and once you come in once they'll always remember you. Three words: Buffalo Chicken Sub. Mmmmm. Despite the fact that their pizzas are alright (even though they are supposedly the Pizza King, hmm), their Buffalo Chicken Sub keeps me coming back like a love sick teenager!!

Pic A Pasta-600A Washington St Brighton, MA

Another place I really miss since I moved out of Oak Square. Love the "create your own pasta" menu, and I actually think the portions are really generous. I remember being able to order a large, eat until I was full, and save the rest to bring to work for lunch the next day, pretty awesome. I almost always ordered fettuccine alfredo with a bunch of things mixed in, but I also tried the lasagna and the meat lover's special (pasta with bolognese sauce and pepperoni) a few times. Their breakfast burritos are good as well.
My only complaint about this place is that it seems like the food takes a really long time to make. When I lived nearby I stopped ordering delivery because it took so long, and even when I started picking it up I had to wait a long time for it to be ready. Still the food is great, and the prices are definitely reasonable, so if you can wait 20-30 minutes, definitely give this place a try.

The Wok-180 Worcester Street, Wellesley, MA

I am a huge fan of the Wok. They are what I consider the best Chinese in the area, and I am still searching for a better one. Their Hot and Sour soup is great, although sometimes it needs an extra shot of vinegar and tabasco. I recommend their Crispy Spicy Chicken, Kung Pao, Angel Hair Rice noodles, lo mein, Hot and Sour soup, Hunan Chicken/Shrimp/Beef. All their chicken dishes use white meat and rarely do you get fatty pieces like at most Chinese places. They seem to use much higher quality meats and vegetables and everything tastes fresh. Great Combo plates that you can get for lunch and dinner. Definitely the best in the area. No matter what you order for takeout, its always "10 Minutes..Bye Bye" -Music to my ears!! Gets busy on friday nights!

Milestone of Wellesley-13 Central St Wellesley MA

Nice ambiance and reasonably priced for tapas, other light fare and some sophisticated Greek-inspired dishes. The avgolemono was delicious; the arugula salad could have been better as could the crispy (and bland) tilapia. The broccoli rabe sauteed with garlic and olive oil was beyond reproach. Decent wine list and full bar. Great and attentive service, but it only got 3 stars because of the spotty food.

Wild Willy's Burgers-46 Arsenal St (Watertown, MA)

There is a counter area where you can sit on a saddle and their booths are roomy and good for spreading out to attack your burger and the staff manages to keep the dining room squeaky clean even if your face doesn't stay that way.Their prices are a little on the steep side but the burgers are delicious.The Chicken sandwiches are great as well. Get the Onion rings instead of the fries. There are many places where the patty is good but the bun is either too sweet or mammoths the burger. Here the buns are soft, sized right, lightly buttered and lightly grilled and complement the patty and the fixin's. When you take a bite your teeth sink into the bread without being overbearing and right into the meat...the timing is perfect. The first time you take a bite, you end up taking another bite just to remind you that this is the real deal!!

Lotus Blossom-394 Boston Post Rd Sudbury, MA

General Gau chicken was delicious - not overcooked to a crisp, not overpowered by ginger, and served with great fresh steamed broccoli. Hot and sour soup was above average, as was the fried rice, which contained more vegetables than just the usual peas and carrots..They also have a very good lunch buffet. There are only a few things in the buffet (6 or 8 I think), but what they lack in quantity they make up for in quality. They also offer sushi on the buffet, but the sushi is only OK, almost like it is an after thought

Wasabi-1245 Worcester St Natick MA (Natick Collection)

The sushi was tasty, and priced within my expectations. I ate a filling dinner for about $15. It was my first time seeing conveyor belt sushi, so that was a fun little novelty.The service is good and despite the pacing back and forth and sometimes awkward seating, this really isn't a bad place. It's good to go for a nice snack where fried food isn't cutting the mustard

Cheeseboy Grilled Cheese To Go-1245 Worcester St Natick MA

Was it good? Of course, it was grilled cheese with bacon. It's hard to mess up. I have no idea how they did it but, somehow my CheeseBoy tasted almost exactly like my dad's grilled cheese. It was buttery, gooey and on perfectly toasted fresh Italian bread. I recommend getting a cup of classic tomato soup to dip your grilled cheese into, the combination is amazing and so satisfying on a cold day. Also, it should be said that for $5, you can have a delicious sandwich/soup combo which is far less than most places in the food court!

Kelly's Roast Beef-2 Under Price Way Natick MA

Come on who doesn't love a Kelly's Roast Beef? Extra rare, with fresh horseradish (not that creamy sauce garbage either) on that toasted buttered kaiser roll. Oddly enough that is not the reason why I go here..I'm a fan of fried seafood, thus, I'm there either for the fried clams or the fried butterfly shrimp. The clams can sometimes taste a little weird too much of that taste-of-the-sea if you know what i mean* when it's not in season. The butterfly shrimp is my fav tho. Yes, it may look like what you can get at the frozen food isle @ the market, but they make it iso damn good here...nice n crispy, none of that beer batter.

Xinh Xinh-7 Beach St Boston Ma

Xinh Xinh doesn't look like much - twelve small tables and cheap decor crammed into a Chinatown hole in the wall. It looks like exactly what it is - hands down the best Vietnamese restaurant in Boston. Now on the FOOD..The vietnamese fresh spring rolls is fresh but nothin special. A rice paper wrap is filled with rice noodles, veggies and boiled shrimp. It comes with a mediocre peanut sauce. The grilled chicken bun is AMAZING if you are looking for something cool, refreshing, light and a tad fishy (fish sauce is involved). A large bowl is filled with raw bean sprouts, shredded lettuce, and pickled carrots. A freshly boiled and strained serving of rice noodles is plopped on top, and last but not least, an INCREDIBLY grilled tender piece of chicken (thigh) is cooked to perfection so the edges are crispy and placed on top. On the side is a bowl of fish sauce based sauce for dipping. Personally, i LOVE this dish.

Neptune Oyster-63 Salem St Boston Ma

I honestly would've given this place 5 stars but since the place is so small there's always a really long wait. The food here is AWESOME! They have their own house made clam chowder. It isn't as thick as regular clam chowders. It's more soupy but it's still very good. You can see and taste the clams which has to obviously be the main ingredient (instead of potatoes). LARGE chunks of lobster...that's the way I like my lobster rolls and that's the way they do it at Neptune! I tried the hot and cold lobster roll and I think the winner is the hot lobster roll. The saltiness of the butter I think balanced well with the sweetness of the lobster. The cold lobster roll just seemed overly sweet to me from the mayo. The fries that come with the lobster roll were nothing to write home about....potato drenched in oil and soggy. But obviously I didn't come for fries...

Zo-3 Center Plz Boston Ma

ZO IS ONLY OPEN M-F for LUNCH. THEY CLOSE AT 3 BUT THEY MIGHT RUN OUT OF THE ORIGINAL GYRO BEFORE THEN, so come EARLY! This is easily the best Gyro I have ever eaten. The lamb was chopped instead of the thick slices I'm used to in gyros, which is a nice change. The lamb was well seasoned and not overcooked. The tomatoes and onions tasted fresh cut. The yogurt sauce was really good and tasted fresh. I tried to eat this thing while walking and that was a mistake because the

pita is jammed with ingredients.

Tastee Jamaican Restaurant-522 River St Mattapan, MA

I love Carribbean food and was so excited to visit this place! I have heard great things about this restaurant and finally had the chance to try it out!
I ordered the oxtail w/ rice & veggies, amazing dish! I have always been a fan of oxtails! I was satisfied with the taste of this entire meal and so was my stomache! I had to try the beef pattie! Which was also great and what I expected. Ful of flavor and spice, the outside nice an crunchy. The only negative comment I have about the food was that it did not arrive to my table as hot as I would have expected so on a scale of 1-10 I give the food an 8. Finally the jerk chicken. . .which arguably is the best dish that they have--at least its spicy--but its overkill- you can feel your nostils start to burn before you even open the container. But this is the dish that bumped this place from one to two stars its the closest to good jamaican that they have

Teranga-1746 Washington St Boston Ma

Got home from one of the most delicious meals I have eaten in a long time. I had been here once before and enjoyed it, but tonight's experience was even more excellent. I think this is due to the fact that I tried a variety of menu items, and they were all delicious. We started by ordering a bottle of Pinotage, which was excellent. Next came the complimentary bread with an extraordinary dipping sauce. My friend and I shared the Accara as an appetizer. It was fried perfectly, not greasy at all, and came with a delicious sauce. For my dinner, I ordered the Salade Ordinaire, which was nothing but ordinary, and the vegetarian nems, which were amazing; I can't even describe how delicious they were! To end our wonderful dinner, I enjoyed the mango tart tatin, while my friend tried the Beignets Dougoup. While my dessert was quite enjoyable, I had a bit of food envy - the Beignets were delicious! My only regret is that I did not realize until I got home that I could have actually ordered a vegetarian entree - apparently the vegetarian entrees are on a separate menu.

The Wapo Taco(Roslindale, MA)

Got a craving for a cheap, sorta greasy, hard shell taco and you don't live anywhere near a Taco Bell or otherwise anything even related to a Mexican restaurant? No problem if you happen to be in Roslindale, check out the Wapo Taco. You get what you pay for, and that ain't a bad thing. Cheap Mexican style fare is just that, cheap food for the people. But that also means that you can stuff yourself on good old fashioned tacos. The steak tacos, burritos, and wraps are consisantly good. The food is very fresh and the salsas are full of flavor. The hot can be hot and they can accommodate special needs or mixes.

Little India(Waltham MA)

If you always order Curry or Tanduri when you dine out for Indian food, break out of the rut and try Biryani. Now I don't know how you pronounce it, but I'll tell you that you can't go wrong with saffron rice, raisins & cashews, coconut garnish and plentiful shrimp (or chicken, lamb or veggies). The curry dishes were outstanding and the appetizers were perfectly fried and tasty. The tikona-think samosa with ground lamb re-heated nicely the next day. Naan is always good and was totally fresh. Take a walk on the spicy side and try the gobi paratha. Between the prices and the amazing food I will be back.

The Linden Store(Wellesley MA)

I have eaten sandwiches all around , and still, nothing comes close to a Linden sub. They use fresh, soft bread, slice the meats to order and are still lightning fast, even when there is a line out the door. They are also family owned and operated, clean, consistent, friendly and supporters of the community.

La Campania(Waltham MA)

For Starters ordered Warm Eggplant Terrine,Layered with Fresh Mozzarella "Affumicato", Torn Basil, Plum Tomato Ragout which was just awesome .I liked the way it was presented. Also ordered Spicy Rock Shrimp White Wine, Cherry Tomato, Chile Flakes.For my main course decided on having Hand-Cut Potato Gnocchi "Trifolati"Wild Mushrooms, White Truffle Oil which was just amazing.The meal was AMAZING. La Campania is a very authentic looking Italian restaurant. The ambiance was relaxing we had this small candle light on our table which was so beautiful .Interior lighting was flattering, the walls were brick, the rooms furnished with farm tables; vases of tulips were scattered throughout the dining rooms

Ye Olde Cottage Restaurant(Weston MA)

Still has wooden booths, counter stools, jukeboxes and advertisements on the wall from about half a century ago. As for food...today it has a friendly counter/waitstaff, ambiance from a less rushed time and pretty standard fare that'll stick by you all day. Pretty basic. I got scrambled eggs and french toast with sausage and didn't feel like eating for the rest of the day and lets be real that never happens!!

Tennessee's Barbecue( Framingham MA)

Slow cooked bbq was never served faster. Juicy pulled pork and ribs, beans and corn, rounded out with dirty rice ... still licking my fingers. Yummy. For now the tastiest BBQ I have sampled in NE. Red Bones is tasteless in comparison. You got your BBQ: pulled pork and pulled chicken platters, burritos stuffed with dirty rice, meat and cheese, smoky bbq wings, even salad! You got your sides: potato salad, corn on the cob, mac & cheese, dirty rice cucumber salad, and a half a dozen other options that are impossible to remember. Best of alll you got a sink to wash off the mess after your done eating!!
