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.
