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.
