We were so happy to find this restaurant. The food was really tasty and the portion was just right. We had waffle and fried chicken and pastrami sandwich. We were given choices of French Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, or Truffle Fries! Our server was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was nice with outdoor seating also.

I was excited to find this restaurant as I love trying new places! Started with the steak and cheese egg rolls which were a delight! The Greek chicken sandwhich was moist and so tasty with the feta cheese. The turkey sandwich was loaded with shaved turkey and yummy stuffing and cranberry. Both of the breads were nice and fresh then grilled with a little crisp! The fries were good although the sweet potato fries were cold which was a little disappointing. Overall though it was delicious and I would definitely come back!
Terra Brasilis Restaurant, located on Waverly Street, is a vibrant culinary destination that invites guests to experience the rich flavors and diverse traditions of Brazilian cu…
This is my first time at this place, and I really enjoyed the food. The guy at the grill is excellent; he serves exactly what you ask for, which is difficult considering how many people want their meat cooked differently. Good place for a relax dinner.
Dec 2023: Enjoyed the quick service-its buffet style confusing the first time you go but easy the second time. Everyone speaks Portuguese and if you need help, they are more than happy to assist but you got to ask I noticed they wont come to you. The point is to consume the meat with many options of sides. They have great dish options. Veggie sides and great pasta salad options. You can do dine in/takeout- they charge by weight and it gets expensive real quick especially with meat since they have a higher prorated prices. After you go through the food options they give you your check and you pay with the cashier near the exit once your done. Enjoy.
It’s a great experience to be eating at such a lovely restaurant. I love how there’s a lot of meat options and on Wednesdays which are my favourite there are crispy pieces of eggplant that I really love and may be sometimes that the fries are a little bit old but we can always live with that and does meat is always spot on sometimes it’s a little bit too dry but it’s most of the time spot on the pasta is really good, most of the other stuff I’m not really into but overall it’s very very nice when you’re sitting down you got to watch news or soccer matches and it’s a really fun experience for eating

It's a very nice buffet experience But it would be too expensive for the quality of food if you're to dine in. Best option is to take-out the food. All in all great meat options and food was good. Recommended and as mentioned, do a take out to your heart's content!
Very good Brazilian food. You come in, take what you want buffet style, weigh it and either eat there, or take it out. You simply pay for what you eat.
Food was awesome! My family was treated like family. I just wish they had kids food for American kids. I can only come here with adults and the tables are all small and cold. Food is crave-worthy though and they offer take out.

Had an awesome experience at this location in every aspect. We were all boys who went to eat and drink. The place was EXTREMELY busy but we were still able to get a table and were served food very quickly. Our server was very friendly, attentive, Overall I think prices were fair and I was pleasantly surprised at the size of the chicken sandwich which had a nice large piece of fried chicken that was super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. All the food was high quality. Would highly recommend for dinner or watching a game at this place.
The food was yummy, by needed just a touch more seasoning on some things. Overall the atmosphere was nice, but it's just a little loud between the music, and everyone's voice echoing off the high ceiling. Our server was fantastic and super attentive!
Josh is a great bartender! made my espresso martini perfectly! the staff and service keeps me coming back every time. Madison was our server and she was on top of everything! i never had to look around to find her, she was so present during my stay. I love their every changing menu, im always excited to stop by for drinks and food definitely recommend the chicken pot pie, buffalo wings, and fried pickles

We have been visiting this place for the past five years even after moving out of framingham. I love the ambience and love the food. If you are an Indian, you might like this place just because the food gives you indo-chinese vibes tastewise. We come here and order only these few items and i bet you would love it. Good for the ones who want to have more spicy flavors.
Very much disappointed. Sichuan cuisine is not this. We only ordered a few dishes, thankfully did not spend more and waste of our money. We ordered a pork dumplings as a starter. The dough of the dumplings were partly cooked. They did not even get the time to cook it at least for 10 minutes on the steam. Then we ordered fish fillet in Napa cabbage chili sauce, the portion size was reasonable for Boston food standard, Definitely not reasonable for the $26. *I think fish was haddock. They even charge $2.5 plus taxes for small portions of rice. When you’re ordering a dish for $26 at least you expect a small portion of rice in Chinese restaurant. . The service is robotic, no formality no suggestions and not even asking if the food was any good … WASTE !! For the exceptionally poor service. They expect an awesome tip - Boston food standard. . Definitely not ever going there ever again .
we ordered these food, pork belly, eggplant with basil, cold spicy beef and cold noodle were very good, pepper and spicy chicken was not very good and cold spicy chicken was so so. the service was good. will come back soon.

Absolutely love it! The best of the best you will find here! I celebrated my birthday with them and the team were all so nice and happy and the experience was perfect from beginning to end. Thank you San Sushi
Tough to say what’s best. Food is fantastic. Atmosphere is great. Service (Guilherme) is phenomenal. Combined all these are the reason why we‘ll be back soon. Special thanks for the staff/cooks/chefs as well.
Food is very delicious! We had the "lunch time" and it has a great variety for a very good price. Service was also great! We will definitely come back!

Came here to celebrate a birthday and the service was top tier. I called ahead to let them know that was running a little late and they adjusted my reservation for me. Our server Matthew was so attentive and personable. We had several people pass by our table to check in on us and see if we needed anything throughout our dinner service. Highly appreciated how we were treated. Would definitely come back, and totally recommend the lobster Mac n cheese!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Legal Sea Foods on Route 9 in Framingham, MA, and it truly exceeded my expectations. I visited with a friend and was thoroughly impressed by the experience. Although I wish I could recall the name of our waiter (I believe it was John), he made a significant impression with his exceptional service. His voice was so distinctive and captivating—it sounded like he had a background in radio. I was intrigued and asked him if he had worked in radio, to which he mentioned he does voice-over work as well. His engaging way of presenting the menu and interacting with us added a unique and enjoyable touch to our meal. The food at Legal Sea Foods was outstanding. From the first bite to the last, everything was prepared with care and attention to detail. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and expertly cooked, reflecting the high standards the restaurant is known for. Despite the restaurant being quite busy, the atmosphere remained warm and inviting, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. I was thoroughly impressed with both the quality of the food and the overall ambiance. Legal Sea Foods truly offers a top-notch dining experience, and I would definitely return in the future. If you're looking for a place where you can enjoy exceptional seafood in a vibrant setting, Legal Sea Foods is a fantastic choice. You really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu!
Food is really Food and they have gone great lengths to increase the gluten free options, which is wonderful. Place is way too busy on the weekends, but with good reason. Save yourself a headache and make a reservation. Every time we've been there the service is really good. Waiters/waitresses are very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We'll be back any time possible.

This was my first trip to this establishment, and they did not disappoint. My friends had told me about this place and brought me along with them this time. The food was outstanding, and the service was beyond compare. We sat at the bar, and the bartenders who served us were on point. Never left a glass empty long. Very friendly servers. This will definitely be a restaurant I will come back to.
This family restaurant has been in business since 1946! Definitely a great spot for family dinner or casual gathering, the take reservations. We went on a Saturday night and it was packed. Our waitress was very nice and friendly, she is the daughter of the owner and bartender is the granddaughter, impressive! Portions were huge, the bring bread and salads prior to the meal. Wouldn’t suggest Gnocchi, they were very basic. Lobster and cheese ravioli were delicious! Will be back!
Pleasant place to have a delicious and large portioned meal. It's changed a lot over the years but it feels as if all those changes have been for the better. My sister got married in the upstairs room many years ago and now I find myself taking dates downstairs for some nice evening dining.

I sat at the bar and had the famous sirloin, and it was delicious. Thsi place has an old-school vibe with stained glass windows and little private square booths. It's a really good place, and i was happy with it all. After Tip, i spent $40. Bartenders were pretty attentive, and i would definitely recommend.

Highly rated and my favorite meal, breakfast, I had to try it!! There was so crazy flavor cinnamon pancakes/french toast which was good and different. Otherwise everything else was pretty basic. I did like have the chicken sausage Patties option for the non red meat eaters. I wouldn’t not go back but it wouldn’t be on the top of my return list.
Very good trio of eggs,bacon and pancakes. Small OJ was pretty large. I also opted for the real maple syrup. Nice atmosphere. $28 is a bit high (including 22% tip) but very good. They offer a lot of different toppings or fillings on the pancakes so that would be nice for those who like add-ons.
GO HERE. Food, vibes, and service were all incredible. I let out an audible "WOW" at everything I ate. Would give it all 6/5 stars if I could. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Items ordered: • Ooey Gooey French toast • Sweet potato hash • Pumpkin coffee (special 10/24)

Framingham Station Brazilian Steakhouse is a real treat for meat lovers. We came here as a family and were blown away by the perfectly grilled meats, the attentive service, especially Claudia who gave us extraordinary service. This place is a must visit for anyone who appreciates top-notch food and hospitality. Highly recommended!
We've had our annual company party at Framingham Station Brazilian Steakhouse for the past 2 years now and each time it was excellent! The Framingham Station team did everything possible to ensure that we had an incredible experience. We rented out the restaurant for about 3-4 hours and it's a large space for everyone to fit comfortably. The buffet, rodizio, desserts and drinks were all amazing! Everyone couldn't stop complimenting on how good the food was. Framingham Station accommodated all of our needs with the music and allowing us to have a photo booth to entertain our guests. The staff were incredible, attentive and really made sure that everyone was happy. Thank you so much Framingham Station, Mauro and team for making both of our events a wonderful experience for all of our employees and their loved ones. We highly recommend Framingham Station Brazilian Steakhouse for their food, drinks, venue space, service and an amazing time .
Framingham station was phenomenal. The sides were fresh and delicious and the meats were incredible in flavor and cooked perfect!! The staff were also incredible (and we had two small ones-very kid friendly). I would recommend this to family and friends in a heart beat! The only other thing is parking is a little tight
Burtons Grill & Bar is a premier dining establishment that offers a unique blend of casual elegance and a welcoming atmosphere. Established with a commitment to exceptional…
This was one of our many visits to Burtons. The atmosphere is always pleasant and upbeat. Staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly. We especially liked their bar and the drinks they serve up there. You will see 10 to 15 couples sitting at the bar eating and drinking on any evening. Our food was hot, fresh and appealing. If you have room, try a dessert, which we found large enough to share. The manager checked on us several times. Our wait was friendly and helpful. Kids Menu is available so take your kids as well.
Burton’s Bar & Grill is a delightful spot with a menu that has something for everyone, whether you're craving a fresh salad, a hearty steak, some comforting pasta, or a juicy burger. The food is amazing and comes out at just the right speed, perfect for enjoying good company. The staff really goes the extra mile, like when they offered to cut and split our burger since we were sharing. Weekends can get busy, so if you've got kids or just hate waiting, definitely snag a reservation. Overall, it's a fantastic place to kick back, relax, and enjoy a great meal!
Overall Burton’s is a great experience. Our waitress was very friendly throughout the entire interaction. The space itself it’s nice and has a cozy vibe to it. The food itself is very good as well and safe for allergies. An idea would be to have some more vegetarian options overall. Definitely would recommend this place.

For years, Bertucci has been a well known Italian restaurant in Natick and it still does not disappoint. Their brick oven pizza is made fresh from scratch as you order and the taste is consistently outstanding, with a perfectly crispy crust and a good balance of toppings, all right in front of your eyes. Bertucci continues to offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere perfect for family dining. We did come in hungry and there was a huge rush, however the warm bread made us hold well. We ordered two different pastas and they were very tasty. The meat ball pasta along with the meat sauce and the aioli pasta was very tasty. The unlimited salad was actually good and we ordered a second round. The kids got treated with free Sundays and cookies. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Italian food. The kids menu is good and overall the meal portions are huge!
We attended a make-your-own pizza birthday party for a friend of our first grader child and what a great idea! It was scheduled midday on a Sunday and the place was pretty quiet and we had wonderful service and attention from our server Scott. The chef gave support on how best to make the pizzas and they got to eat their creations. Highly recommend. Fabulous service, can't thank Scott enough!
After 32 years of being away,my Fiancée returned to Framingham. She wanted me to experience a great dining experience and introduced me to Bertucci's. The fresh, homemade bread was absolutely exquisite. Scott, the waiter was outstanding and assured the best possible dining experience. We had the baked rigatoni and meatballs, we also had the chicken, broccoli and rigatoni. They were both amazing! Well worth the trip from Florida, we look forward to revisiting next year.

What an amazing event space! For our business meeting we couldn’t have picked a better restaurant. Delicious food, wonderful service and an amazing space made the night a very memorable one that will be talked about for months to come. Paul, the owner and chef, was delightful to work with and Tony, Alex and all of our servers that night were fantastic. I put my hand in the photo of the Parmesan to show scale- it was very well portioned and delicious! The servers were attentive and really good at serving and keeping the noise down as we had a speaker talking through the entire dinner. We really appreciate this restaurant and highly recommend it for your private event.
I got the cheese ravioli. It was good. You get bread at the table before you order. Service was quick and attentive. Dinner for 3 with dessert cost more than $100. Outside searing is weird. Who wants to sit in the parking lot next to a nail Solon.
Paul and his family have been gracious hosts to me for over 30 years. The food and our experiences have always been exceptional. Thank you.
