They saw our place, peeked in, went to the end of the block, looked around to see what else there was of restaurants and opportunity and then came back here. “They wanted to find something to eat that was different and unique,” Brown told Newton News. The Maid-Rite may be made with a “scoop of loose, pebbly, well-done meat dug out of a cooking trough and dumped onto a bun,” but it is also jam packed with nostalgia for many Iowans - and The Economist notes that.īrown was pleased with the article and that the journalists found “a real diamond in the rough” when they visited his establishment. The column shows the sentimentality derived from regional foods like the loose meat sandwich. Dan’s Sandwich Shop in Newton has both of the Midwestern dishes on its menu, but it was the loose meat sandwich, also known colloquially as a Maid-Rite, that caught the eye of traveling journalists.Īs a result, the Newton restaurant, owned by Michael Brown Sr., was featured in the May 14 edition of The Economist as part of a new, recurring column called “World in a dish.” Brown said the two reporters entered the establishment on a whim while writing a story about Newton’s $10,000 moving incentive. Oh well, two and done, there’s no reason for me to give them any more of my money with the vast number of restaurants in the center.Iowa cuisine breaks down into two signature food items: the breaded tenderloin and the loose meat sandwich. Max & Leo's Artisan Pizza 171 reviews Open Now Italian, Pizza - Great pizza and Great people really great pizza and very good beer selection.but very tiny and obviously. Just a lame sorry from the hostess (NOTHING from our waitress), who ignored our table for the rest of the meal. Dunn Gaherin's Food & Spirits 273 reviews Open Now American, Irish - Menu A great find Great, charming spot 6.
We were sitting near the POS system, where she went and put my salad in, which she’d obviously forgotten to order. After 10 minutes, someone finally comes over to see if everything is fine, and I ask if my salad is coming. I told them to eat so that their food wouldn’t get cold (though my wife’s chicken wings were already pretty much room temp when they arrived). I figured, oh well, they probably couldn’t fit everything on the tray. They put meals in front of my wife, my niece, and her husband., then left.
However, after apps were served, the entrees came out. They don’t eat anything remotely fancy or spicy, so we thought that though we didn’t love the food at Union Street it was a good bet for them to enjoy it, which they did. My niece and her husband were visiting, and they are very simple eaters. Will need to come back.Īlso, I have to amend the service review of Union Street from 4.5 to 3. Excellent cocktails and interesting food. This is probably the best Greek Pizza I’ve had, but it’s still not good in my opinion. I had the fish and chips, and Irish bar should know better than to serve soggy fish with your chips.įirst off, I hate Greek pizza. Great pub if you want a well poured Guinness or Smithwick’s. Ma Po Tofu and Spicy Schezuan Chicken have been standouts for me. Excellent Chinese food, though I do ask for things a bit spicier than standard. Service: N/A only have done takeout, so no service rating. Pizza is OK, in a pinch, but I’d rather run down to Route 9, and get me some Frank Pepe’s. 2 Tacos for $15 I didn’t feel was a good value.
Example, my trout was a whole trout fillet, both sides, on grains, veggies and fruit. Good wine, really good food, but a bit pricey for what you’re getting.Įxcellent entrees and apps, though we found the apps to be not of a good value.
Old school American red-sauce Italian, with all male waiters. Our fresh burgers are cooked to perfection and dont forget to add our famous hand-cut fries and. Great breakfast joint, with house made corned beef hash, and excellent crunchy French Toast Browse all Five Guys restaurants in Newton, Massachusetts. Great cocktails, awesome food (only one item over 4 visits we ordered we didn’t like too much), and super nice bartenders. Great HUGE fries (the large fries are REALLY large!) We ate in, but it’s more of a takeout place. Went back for a drink one other night, same bartender, same problem.
NEWTON RESTAURANTS UPDATE
I will update this list when I go to more places.Įnjoyed the food on our one visit, but the bartender was more interested in her friend at the bar than anyone else. We’ve not eaten at all of them yet, but I will list where we’ve eaten and a rating based on a scale of 5 for food and service/atmosphere. While we miss Brighton (we’d lived there for nearly 30 years), we were excited to see how many restaurants are within a ten minute walk of our apartment. As of mid-June my wife and I have lived in our new digs in Newton Center.
