1. The Kinsale
Boston, MA 02108
(617) 742-5577
I really love this place. The food and prices are great. However, a word of warning if you're considering going at this time (November 2011). Peter Pan is playing directly across the street. That means KIDS all over the place. My friend and I were…More »

Awesome place! Love the burgers and the fries. The BBQ burger is excellent. They have great soups of… Read more »
2. Brown Sugar Cafe
This place is awesome. I crave their pad-thai on a regular basis. So nicely done. The only other place that comes close to pad thai this good is Khao Sarn on Harvard Street in Coolidge Corner. The crab rangoon here is also to die for. Service is also…More »
3. Laurel Grill & Bar - CLOSED
Laurel is a great place to go if you want to have a nice sit-down meal in a classy atmosphere but not spend a lot of money. Their prices are very reasonable with most of the entrees around $15. Last time I was there I had the salmon, which was done…More »
4. Chef Chang's House - CLOSED
I am a fan! The food is good, the portions are generous and the prices are great. What more could you want? Love their scallion pancake and crab rangoons. Not so thrilled with their mixed drinks, but whatever, you don't need a drink when the food is…More »
5. Khao Sarn
This place is great. I have to say I am with Sandra on the suggestion that this might even be better than Brown Sugar. The pineapple chicken will rock your world. Nice atmosphere too overlooking Harvard Street and cool fish in the fish tank at the…More »
6. Pho Lemongrass
Brookline, MA 02446
(617) 731-8600
Category:
Vietnamese
Neighbourhood: Coolidge Corner
What I like about this place is its quiet atmosphere and reasonable prices. You will rarely spend more than $25 or $30 per person. A good choice when you want a classier restaurant without spending a lot of cash. The food is decent, but I'm no expert…More »
7. India Quality Restaurant
We recently started using India Quality to cater events at our office. They are great for catering! They are always on time and the way they package the food is fabulous! Everything is delivered in large aluminum trays and inside the large trays are…More »

I find it to be quality! It's kind of lacking in atmosphere, more of a place to bring your buddies… Read more »
8. Boston Wing-It
Allston, MA 02134
(617) 783-2473
Category:
Chicken Wings
Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton
Wing It is pretty quality! The establishment itself is a little questionable. Either get take out or have them deliver. The boneless wings are great, as are their sides. I adore the pasta salad. There prices might be a bit more than you might expect…More »
9. Vinny T's of Boston - CLOSED
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 262-6699
Categories:
Italian,
American (New)
Neighbourhood: Back Bay
I am a fan. Granted this is not the place to come if you want really fine, gourmet Italian food, but like others have said if you want a really HUGE plate of very decent pasta, come to Vinny Testa's, or I believe, as it is now known, Vinny T's. I…More »
10. South China Inc
Stoughton, MA 02072
(781) 344-1555
Very good take-out overall. Crisy and delicious crab rangoons were a great appetizer. Also enjoyed the South China Special Lo Mein and the Shrimp Kew, which delighted with an excellent, light, white sauce. Plenty of food all in all and the meal also…More »
11. Vinny T's - CLOSED
A great place for what it is: a local chain Italian place at an affordable price. Don't go expecting gourmet, North-end style, fancy Italian food. But if you want to fill up fast on a massive plate of good pasta, Vinny T's is where it's at. The food…More »
12. Town Spa
Quality pizza! I also had a Greek salad here which was very nice. Lots of cheese! Always good in my book. I can only really speak for the take out, but the service was fast, the girls at the counter were friendly and it was pretty nice and cool and…More »
13. Pizzeria Uno Chicago Bar & Grill
I am in love with the new thin crust pizzas. Mmmm. I have never been a huge fan on their entrees but you have to respect Unos for the pizza. This location is pretty cool too with all the Sox decor. It's good to take Soxs fans to. Also, you cannot…More »
14. Bertucci's Brick Oven Restaurant
I love Bertucci's. You have to respect it for what it is. A very tasty chain restaurant with great prices. The rolls are delicious. My friends and I frequently crave them and have to hit up Bertucci's for a "fix". I have never been too impressed with…More »
15. Emilio's
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 423-4083
Categories:
Pizza,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: South End
Emilio's is so quality. The pizza is great. The french fries are great. You can even get fried dough here now! Yum. Their salads are delicious as well, but are a bit pricey. A chef salad is almost $8 (!!!). However, it is a big salad and you get a…More »
16. Cornwall's
I love Cornwalls. Usually it's relatively quiet with a nice, laid back atmosphere. It can get busy on weekends and I recommend staying away when there are Sox games, but otherwise, awesome place. They have great burgers. I highly recommend the Blue…More »
17. Grendel's Den Restaurant & Bar
Cambridge, MA 02138
(617) 491-1160
Categories:
Bars,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Harvard Square
Oh, Grendel's. Knocking you down a star after some horrible service at the outdoor patio. I don't feel like going into all the errors of the server, but, seriously, when the water you requested with your drink order arrives at the END of the meal,…More »

Grendel's is such a great place to get together with friends for a drink after work or to relax at… Read more »
18. Bluestone
This place has the best blueberry pancakes. I've only been here for breakfast, but it was an amazing breakfast. The decor is a little strange and it's not exactly the most formal place, but if you want really good pancakes in a casual atmosphere this…More »
19. Albany Sandwich Shop - CLOSED
I am sooooo sad this place has closed. Now where will I get cheap beer during lunch hour? :(

I love this place! Best place to grab a quit, cheap bite in the South End. It's really the guys who… Read more »
20. Paris Creperie
Brookline, MA 02446
(617) 232-1770
I so love this place! The crepes are fantastic and they are perfect for those nights when you just don't want to cook but you don't want to go out, you just want to grab something quick and really enjoy it. I get take out from here all the time,…More »
21. Crispy Crepes Cafe
They are right about them being Crispy! I agree with other yelpers on this point. Not that this makes them bad, just kind of unusual. I still prefer Paris Crepes in Coolidge Corner (see my review) to this place, but if you can't stand to walk a…More »
22. Thai Village - CLOSED
The location is fabulous. Right on Tremont Street and close to the BCA and Calderwood Pavillion. I was a bit freaked out when on a Friday night around 6 we were the only people in the place, but as my friend told me, they do most of their business as…More »
23. Mike's Restaurant
Somerville, MA 02144
(617) 628-2379
Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: Davis Square
You can't go wrong with the massive 32oz draft beers for only $6! I was not super impressed with food, however. I had a mushroom cheese burger and fries. While certainly edible and well worth the $6, it was nothing to rave about. The fries were good…More »
24. T Anthony's Pizzeria & Restaurant
Boston, MA 02215
(617) 734-7708
They have pretty decent pizza. It's nothing I would go out of my way for, but if you find yourself in the area for a hockey game or a BU event, it's a reasonable choice for a quick bite. The atmosphere here is interesting: very causal booth seating.…More »
25. Upper Crust Pizzeria
Pretty good pizza. I also recommend the White Spinach Pizza. It's a fun place to visit with friends as in addition to the delicious pizza they also have beer and wine. I highly recommend the Bollini Pinot Grigio ($8). It can be brutal getting a table…More »
26. Beijing Cafe
The food here is very good and an excellent value. The scallion panckae is quite tasty as are the spring rolls. However, as others have pointed out inside it is rather old, ugly and rundown. It's also a few steps below street level so it's kinda dark…More »
27. Nud Pob Thai Cuisine
This place is pretty good. Very decent Thai food on the cheap. I would only go here for take out, however. The inside of this place is pretty sad. It's basically in the basement of a building on Comm Ave right across from BU's College of Arts and…More »
28. Hidden Kitchen
Wow. It really is hidden. It's in this random office building on Albany Street. Completely hidden away! I've never had lunch here but their breakfasts are good and filling and relatively cheap. However, I remain devoted to my men at Albany Sandwich…More »
29. Six Burner - CLOSED
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 262-4393
Categories:
American (Traditional),
Southern
Neighbourhood: Back Bay
I was stuck for awhile in Copley Square and stopped in at Firefly for an early lunch. I found the service to be very slow and confused. It took a while to be seated and when I was it seemed forever before someone came to take my order. The meal…More »
30. Charlie's Sandwich Shoppe
Charlie's has a great old Boston flavor. You do feel like you are stepping back in time when you come in and sit down at the counter. The breakfasts are hearty and a decent value. At lunch the French fries are great. I've always found the burgers to…More »
31. Taco Bell - CLOSED
Yeah, it's a Taco Bell, so no rave reviews here, but this one is actually pretty decent. Could be a little cleaner, but I like the staff. Everyone is always really nice and they smile when they take your order, something which is kind of rare in the…More »
32. Qdoba
Boston, MA 02215
(617) 779-9800
Category:
Mexican
Neighbourhood: Allston/Brighton
I would recommend Ana's over Qdoba any day, but if you are in need of a quick bite in the Packard's Corner area, Qdoba will suffice. I would agree with others that they are a bit more expensive than other places, namely Ana's and obviously Taco Bell,…More »
33. Pizzeria Uno Chicago Bar & Grill
Okay, I like Unos, so don't get me wrong, if you're looking for Unos pizza you will find it here, but the service is soooooooooooo SLOW. I've been here for lunch a couple times and we've had to wait between 40 min and an hour just to get our food. :(…More »
