The 621 is a staple on the North Shore. This is an old school restaurant and bar located in Malden. We don't usually get appetizers but the nachos are our favorite. For our main dish, we always get the chicken Marsala. This is one of the better pasta dishes we have had. Portions are generous and the price is great. We also always get the steak and cheese calzone. The portion is huge, and the price is right. The service here is always excellent. I would recommend stopping by here, you won't be left disappointed! read more

Ok nice place, has a local fav type vibe to it, square bar in the center, plenty of tv's for viewing and tables and booths. The staff is very friendly we've done take out a few times. We had the Buffalo chicken pizza and I did the real veal and pasta lunch plate. Pricing is very reasonable, good size portions and fresh ingredients, the veal was plentiful and tender. The pizza I think could have been a bit more crispy for my liking but plenty of chicken and cheese, I think it could have had a little less sauce though. Overall a decent option for lunch, a couple of peeps out of our office generally go for dinner and luv it. For me it'll stay in the lunch rotation, I've got to try out a few more of their options. read more

621 is the perfect neighborhood spot to come enjoy some pizza and a beer! Its not fancy by any means but its not meant to be! The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the service is fantastic. Jessica was our server and she was such a sweetheart. My fiance loved his bacon cheeseburger and we also had a cheese pizza and a Caesar salad pizza. The quality and amount of food you get for the price can't be beat! Highly recommend. They have a huge menu with plenty of options from steak tips and grilled items, to sandwiches, salads, Italian specialties and more. I highly recommend it! read more

You know, I spend a lot of money in this restaurant as well as takeout. Pay attention to your takeout orders, they screw it up every time! You ask for well done pizza, you get raw, uncooked or someone else's pizza. You would think you wouldn't have to check and a simple order is just that, but NO, check your orders! read more

Went into this place a few days ago just to order takeout with my service dog! For context I have a seizure condition and my dog is a real service animal. A few minutes go by as we patiently wait at the front and the owner of the place comes over to me and is extremely confrontational about my dog being in his restaurant. I explained he is a service dog and I just want to order to go he then asks for my dogs paperwork which is illegal in Massachusetts by the way. But I show him anyway, because I just want to order food and take it to leave. He then says one of his staff will help me about 2 minutes later a nice older woman comes by and takes my order. I take my dog on a short walk and come back for the food. When I came back I was told he was asking people about a "guy with a dog" from other guests outside... I enter the restaurant and waited patiently I got my food paid for it and left. I live about a 4 minute walk from the restaurant. I get home and try the food and it's mediocre at best. ribs with barely any sauce and steak tips I should of just given my dog. I work in fine dining so I know exactly what it means to make a guest feel welcomed and taken care of but this was the exact opposite! safe to say I won't be dining here in the future. This was a horrible experience. If you own a restaurant you should know exactly how to treat this situation he's quite lucky I don't have the time or energy to make this much worse. read more

I would give 621 Tavern n' Grille a rating of 621 stars for portion and price. Let's peep things out with some deets: Is this a fancy place? No, it ain't. Is this gourmet food? No, it ain't. Is this a great place to hog out? Hell yeah! I got the Fish Tacos and they were wicked humongous. Moey got the Chicken Parm and it was wicked humongous too. The menu is quite extensive here and prices are unbeatable (cheap). A rarity for today's world, aye? Admittedly, the food is hardly gourmet, but my Fish Tacos were nevertheless yummy AF. These here tacos were prepared "Malden Style" as opposed to Tex Mex or Baja style, etc. Really just slaw and some sort of green Boo-Boo Sauce blopped on top. Not a bad thing because this is real American food for real Americans here. Moey's Chicken Parm was legit. Best of all no "healthy options" like vegan crap and gluten-free garbage. This here food is meant to induce kankles and thunder thighs not skinny physiques. Good stuff here, folks. Eat up. The waitress was wicked nice. It is a fun place to hang with a million TVs with sports on all (No PBS Mozart flute recitals or documentaries, etc.). They have Keeno too. In conclusion, this place is best described as wicked pissah. I'll be back to hog out again for sure! Highly recommended to all YELPers. PS -BIGG portions here! PPS -Wicked inexpensive! Casual attire required. Let's Make American Food Great Again! read more

Good food. Large portions, friendly servers and great prices! It is a sports bar and a great place to be in October!

Good place for a burger. Wine not so great selection. Bit good value fir the food. Pizza good if you want a club sandwich this is the place

Have dined here 2 dozen times and each time the service and food is excellent. Each time we try different dinners but the chef amazes us. Last week we ordered pizza after trying almost everything on the menu and it was light, fresh ingredients and out of this world. We strongly recommend the 621. The servers and staff are well taken care of by the owner. You can see it in the happy vibe in the room. Even when crowded during rush hour we can quickly get a table cleared to sit down. read more

I can't say enough great things about this place. Working in this business I spend my afternoons on my two days off at the 621, Wednesday and Sundays with my husband. The bartenders are great and seeing the consistency of regulars just reinforces that they have figured it out! Generous portions, fantastic prices. The soup specials always blow it out of the park. The steak tips and fish tacos are amazing and highly recommend read more

I love this place, fun after work stop. Nice server actually split our check so we paid for our own stuff.

This is a local hangout. Don't come here expecting gourmet Italian or steaks. It's decent, service is friendly. Soda is not refillable so beware. Just decent food with lots of fake butter in the pasta dishes. Salads were large. Steak tips were underdone. Just set your expectations to about a 6/10. read more

First time there. On a Monday filled with locals. Looked like a fun crowd. Got the blue pots special which was chicken teriyaki with rice pilaf. Was good and you can't beat the price. With a soft drink and the meal it was just under $10. Will have to visit later on in the day. Worth it read more

621 Tavern & Grille - Chicken teriyaki with rice pilaf - New American Near Me - Malden, Massachusetts

Ordered one half cheese and half pepperoni pizza and one onion pizza to go. When I got home, I see I received the half cheese and pepperoni and instead of onion, I received a cheese pizza. I called restaurant and spoke to manager who was very ignorant. He said to bring cheese back. I told him I had company and wasn't going all the way back. He said that was only option. I paid for the onion. I told him I was going to leave a bad review. His answer was, "you're not the first to do that". Shame on their customer service. All over onions! Manager was rude and ignorant. Won't ever be going back or ordering from them again. read more

What's not to love? Nobody beats 621 in pricing for portion...NOBODY. They are extremely generous (even with drinks) and you just have to think for a local spot that's been serving the community for years.....it takes a HUGE effort to deliver consistent goodness on a daily basis. I have been here many, many times. Pizza is wonderful, but my favorite dish BY FAR is the fish tacos off the Specials menu. Comes with 3 LOADED soft tacos. If you want the fisherman's platter, but you're really only getting it for the fried fish....just get the fish tacos and thank me later. Service is always patient and speedy, despite high traffic. Their slogan should really be "Great times, Old Friends". Cheers read more

I would say probably some of the worst costumer service I have ever experienced. Now I understand that it can be busy and staff is often short staffed but to give someone an attitude about how short staffed you are while serving 3 mixed drinks to the table that sat down behind 15 mins after us is inexcusable. I would not recommend to anyone, I will make it a point to leave negative reviews on all apps! I don't know if it's different management that's taking over within the last 5 years or what but definitely less than 1 star! read more

It was okay,it's a little crowded not just by people but the tables are so close together.The food was cheap but amazing. I got the chicken parm for $18 it was good and the cutlets were so good and big. But the reason it's a 4 because somebody at my table found a long black hair in their food,but the person who found it had short blonde hair. read more

Great place- always delicious- love their pizza -everything is delicious !! Lots of selections and great prices !! Prime Rib is a lot better than the places "known" for theirs !!! Chicken Marsala and Chicken Piccata were both great !! Greek salad was a great appetizer - plenty for both of us Service is always quick and friendly !! Very clean - bathrooms also always clean !!! Def our new favorite spot !!! Sometimes we even take a pizza to go !! And.... There's Keno !! read more

This is a good place to have a meal or sit at the bar. They have T.V.'s visible for everyone and Keno. The bar is usually packed even during lunch on a weekday. It seems to be a lot of regulars but it's a good crowd and lowkey atmosphere. The drinks are so-so; personally I like sticking with beer here as some of their mixed drinks come out too sugary. As for the food... They have a little of everything here but not everything is good. I highly recommend the pizza, I forget the name but the pizza with the Italian sausage and hot peppers is so good! read more

A little history lesson for you newbies to Malden, you know who you are, you double income no kids who gentrified the shit out of my city and drove rents through the roof. The 621 was formerly the Roadside, which I washed dishes at as a kid here, this place has one of the biggest and best menus in Malden. There really isn't a bad thing on it either. The one thing that is sneaky amazing in the pizza. I was recently with some friends and we were discussing the best pizza in Malden and this was unanimously the winner. I'm a sucker for their French onion soup and I think it's because I hated having to wash that cheese that was stuck all over the bowl. Sorry dishwasher ... read more

Good spot! The menu has something for everyone. The drinks are great and the prices are reasonable. Can't go wrong here.

Some of the best steak tips I have ever had. Service is always perfect when I come here. Never too loud and everybody is nice. A hidden gem off of Route 1. read more

Pizza here is excellent. The steak and cheese calzone is another home run. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Relaxed sports bar atmosphere. Be sure to call ahead for take out orders. read more

A friend took me for my birthday lunch today - first time there for both of us. Our kind of place - a nice, "dahk bah". Menu and specials choices were amazing, beer frosty-cold. I got the fish tacos and they were just the way I like them - crispy fried flaky fish with slaw and pico de gallo in soft tacos. I couldn't finish all three and I'm stuffed. My friend got the first lobster roll she's had in a couple of years - overstuffed, the right amount of mayo, toasted roll - she loved it. Our fries were hot and perfect! We'll be back! read more

Great food and specials. Service is always good. Sometimes it is a little too loud. But this is a great Place to get lunch or dinner. read more

Service was good even though it was busy. Sauce really good. Calzone was cold inside and cheese not melted. Steak tips were a completely different cut of meat, tough and just didn't taste good. Ribs, the meat was tough, you had to rip it off the bone and there was a weird taste. Everything just seemed either old or really low quality. read more

Great good! Large portions. Lobster roll is the best and at a reasonable price. Awesome onion rings.

Mike & Richie went above and beyond for me & my friend. We had the best night here. Girls night, date night, family night you'll catch me here! Thanks again! read more

Food was good, wished they delivered... Had to go pick it up & was told about 20 minutes, so I get there & they clearly UNDERSTATED the time, I had to wait in the waiting room which was a bar, where I felt compleltely like the Fat kid who doesnt get picked for Dodge ball in Elementary School... There were about 150 people in there & they ALL KNEW EACH OTHER... I mean it, and the more people who came in, all new each other, it was like Cheers & I was the farthest thing from "Norm"!!! The food was phenomenal though, good portions.. Great prices! Will be back when in the area & dont mind having to wait to pick it up! read more

The pizza is phenomenal so we figured we would try a few different items on the menu. Not so good. Whipped potatoes tasted like they came from a box- sauce on the cutlet sandwich, not good. Steak tips were cold in the center. Not a fan. The pizza is good, though. read more

Came back again tonight with the baby. Can I just say this place is the best! Not only do they have delicious food but they are accommodating to large parties, small parties and new parents like us who just want to get out of the house and have a good meal with an infant. lol sound personal, but true. Today I tried the turkey tips and they are the bomb.com! I LOVED them almost as much as I love their sirloin tips! Honestly, you cannot go wrong here just expect a bit of a wait for dinner between 6:30-7:30pm! read more

A group of us went there last night. I heard the turkey tips were delicious so I ordered them. Five of us did. Our order came. One of my friends turkey tips didn't come because it had burned. They apologized but my friend had to wait until they cooked her another order. To me It's excruciating to sit and watch while everyone else is eating. They should have given her a free salad or something. Meanwhile I am a very slow eater. I didnt notice until 1/4 of the way in that mine were burnt too. The 1st two were overcooked and dry but as I kept eating l flipped the rest over and the burnt was on the underside. Hard as charcoal. My only side was mashed potatoes. They were tasteless. I brought nothing home. It wasn't worth it. I would've eventually just tossed them in the trash. If I go there again I'll complain right there before shelling out money for burnt food. (The waitress did hear me complaining but said nothing) read more

I've been going to the 621 in Malden for several years and have always enjoyed the service and food/drinks... always... went last week for the first time in 2-3 months and was unpleasantly surprised how the serving size has shrunk. Most notably was the large calzone. A couple just this past late summer/early fall the large calzone fit diagonally in the large pizza box... now sadly it fits vertically/horizontally with tons of space... actually I ordered 2 LG and 1 sm calzone and they fit in one box... just this summer each lg would have it's own box... same price 1/3 the size... VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! Probably won't be ordering a calzone anytime soon.... or ever read more

Waited over an hour for a pizza that never came. Management was not helpful with the matter.
