Arlington Restaurant and Diner 138 Massachusetts Ave - 781.646.9266 Recommended Dishes:Mussels marinara Review:Great neighborhood restaurant with plenty of good food.
Blue Plate Express 315 Broadway - 781.646.4545 $5.01 - $15 Home cooking for those who do not have time to cook. Some dishes utilizes the restaurant's barbecue grill, as well as pasta courses and sandwiches. A small unwaited dining area is meant more for people on the go than people who want to sit down and eat. Cuisine: American Recommended Dishes:Grilled Chicken Breast in Balsamic Sauce Chickern Curry Sandwich Review:Overpriced and mediocre
Review:Best in Town
Rama Thai Cuisine 1379 Massachusetts Ave - 781.648.4533 $5.01 - $15 Cuisine: Thai Recommended Dishes:Seafood Country Duck Review:Good Thai A good basic Thai restaurant in Arlington Heights. Nothing fancy here, but it rarely disappoints. The only disappointment that comes to mind was the Pad Thai - I've had better. But other dishes, especially the seafood options, shine. Review:Live and Let Thai This was the first time I had ever had Thai food. It's nothing like I thought it would be. I didn't really know what to expect, but I assumed that it may be closely related to Chinese or Japanese food. I decided to try the Country Duck, which was quite good, but a tad spicy, so for those who do not like spicy food you may want to stay clear of this one. I should also point out that the atmosphere and service was quite good, but nothing unexpected or out of the ordinary. Very comfortable place to dine.
Blue Ribbon Bar-B-Q 908 Massachusetts Ave. - 781.648.7427 $5.01 - $15 Cuisine: Barbecue Recommended Dishes:Order at your own risk, everything has a very smoky taste Full rack of ribs, dry rub. Chipotle mustard. Black-eyed corn. Peach cobbler. rib and sides platters; brisket sandwich; pulled pork or chicken platters; burnt ends! Review:What's the big deal? OK, when Blue Ribbon first came to Arlington, it seemed to be enjoying immense popularity, and it made that particular part of Massachusetts Avenue smell like heaven. The sad truth is, it tastes like hell. The incredible smoky taste of the ribs or barbecue pork sandwiches is equivalent to sitting in a small room jam packed with heavy smokers. I figured this particular type of BBQ was an aquired taste that many southerners have learned to love. But I simply can't comprehend why a restaurant of this particular type of "pit-smoked" BBQ eight miles outside of Boston can be so popular. I can only rate this restaurant as being just so-so. Review:Not from around here...and better for it Anyone who is not from Mass. knows that the locals suffer from a peculiar backwardness when it comes to civilized eating. If you've ever tried to find Sunday brunch with good food _and_ good service at a reasonable price, you know what I mean. By those terms, Blue Ribbon Bar-B-Q is one of the saving graces of the Cambridge/Arlington area. It's almost enough to make up for the damnable traffic up here. Yes, it's that good. Review:delicious, not nutritious, and proud of it i can't say enough about this place. it's fast, friendly, reasonably priced and has a fun vintage atmosphere. i happen to prefer the smoky, dry-rubbed flavor of their ribs (i recommend the "one third slab + 2 sides" as a starting point, unless you're a lumberjack) and Texas brisket to the sloppy, saucy, sweet stuff slopped out over at Redbones in Davis Sq., the nearest BBQ competitor. note there's no liquor license, and not too many tables, but hosted my birthday dinner there for 16 people and we all left happy. yummy cookies and brownies, too, and the butteriest mashed potatoes. they also cater platters. my only regrets: i really can't eat there every day, and they took down the little beanie baby cow, pig, and chicken they used to have hanging over the pickup window. enjoy!
Review:Wonderful place I've eaten at Prose many times and I've had nothing but great experiences with the service and the food. The ambiance is low-key and idiosyncratic but very comfortable. All of the food has been innovative and tasty, with liberal use of strong flavors like Gorgonzola and garlic. The soups are consistently outstanding, and it's always worth saving room for the maple custard.
