    Classic Burger
    Aleth C.

    Friendly staff and delicious burgers and fries! Tried the classic burger it was cooked perfectly.

    Bonanza burger w Cajun waffle fries

    This is an update to my last review "swing and a miss". Lee's has reclaimed their spot at the top. My wife and I got two new burgers tonight and they were cooked perfectly! As usual, we got an absolute mountain of fries very generously seasoned. And the milkshakes were thick and creamy. Phenomenal service and hospitality to boot

    Onion rings

    Cute little shop. No seating, take out only. There website has pickup and drop off options. I have been here twice and got the double jack burger twice. What a great burger. Also, I love their onion rings. Plenty of paid parking nearby. Location is in the downtown of Newton.

    I do not know how people waste their money with chain burger restaurants, when they have places like this. The shop was tiny with only a couple of tables, but for what it lacked in size, it definitely made up in other ways. I checked photos on Yelp before going in, and realized it was more of a grab & go than a sit down place. Glad I did, because the limited seating was full even though it was just a Monday night. The staff was very kind, with a greeting when I arrived, assuring I had everything in my to-go order, and a friendly goodbye as I left. My son and I both ordered a Double Jack and Fries. The food was packed with flavor and cooked just right - a little pink in the center on the burgers while the fries were just crisp enough. I'll go back here over and over and over.

    Best burger in Boston hands down! Whenever I am craving a giant, the size of my face, mouth watering burger, it has to be a burger from Lee's burgers! This location is not that big but it has a few tables and stools to dine in. It's an order at the counter and if you dine in they bring you your food to the table. My bf and I were craving juicy burgers so we drove up to Lee's. It was busy Saturday night, they had a lot of pick up and orders to go but we found a table to sit and dine in. I ordered the usual which is the two patty Lee's burger and my bf got their other signature burger. The fries came out first and they were perfect! They were super crispy and thick just how I like them. Our burgers came out next and they came out nice and hot! My Lee's burger was neatly wrapped up to keep it together because it was fully loaded! My burger was packed with bacon,peppers, grilled onions, fried egg and french fries and it was amazing! It was challenging to keep it together as I enjoyed every bite but I managed to devour it just fine. It really hit the spot!

    Chicken tenders

    I've always driven by this place and have wanted to try it for years. I recently tried to go to the new Golden Coup chicken place only to find its a "virtual" or pop-up type of restaurant. It basically does not exist, and its a different restaurant making the food. I was disappointed and figured it would be the perfect chance to go around the corner and try Lee's. The place is pretty small, with 2 tables that fit 4, and 2 window areas that can sit 3 each. Its a typical small business with very friendly staff. The menu is easy to scan through and pick out what you want. Pricing was reasonable. We dined in. The Lee Burger was the most expensive burger on the menu and it definitely sounded like something I wanted to try! Its got two 6oz patties, egg, bacon etc. It was massive, and delicious! The waffle fries and onion rings were so very good, as they seemed to have come straight from the fryer to our table. Other items we tried were the meatball sub, teriyaki burger, grilled cheese sandwich and chicken tenders. All were decent, but not as rave worthy as their Lee burger, waffle fries and onion rings. One thing to call out is the service. The guy brought food to our table and dropped a few onion rings. He apologized and unexpectedly brought me another full order! I was really surprised and thankful, as it was so delicious. Great people work here, the place seemed clean, there is self-serve napkins, forks, condiments etc. Its a cozy little place that should be on your list in Newton Center (they also have a location in brookline).

    Cheeseburger
    Jeff K.

    Have been going here since high school. Great burgers and always get the special sauce.

    I should've looked at pics before I paid an hour at the meter because this place is more of a grab and go. I ordered a regular cheeseburger with everything on it and my bf ordered the Philly cheesesteak. We also ordered a reg side of sweet potato fries. Honestly it was just ok but considering the price, which is considered extremely cheap especially since even McDonald's are kinda pricey nowadays. Ingredients however were all fresh like you can tell with the lettuce and tomatoes. The patty though was honestly quite dry so I kinda had to slather with ketchup to make up for it. The Philly was also just ok. Didn't taste a whole lot of anything tbh. Sweet potato fries however were amazing! They were super fresh, light and airy but so potato-y on the inside

    Excellent nice buck cheeseburger with mushrooms  Roll toasted nice

    With party of six...will my reservation be accepted?

It's a bit out of the way from the downtown area all the way down a street, so I hadn't passed it before I don't think, but it's worth visiting if you don't mind splurging on specialty smoothies. The menu was impressive with great options, also telling you all the vitamins and other good stuff contained in each one. I ordered something I hadn't had before, a smoothie called Long Life that included bee pollen along with acai, goji berries (dragonfruit), blueberries, banana, and pitaya. It tasted rich and dense, and felt great to drink! I also had some of my companion's order, which I have to note reminded me of the smoothies I loved getting at B.Good many times before they changed their menu too much over the years, raised the prices, closed multiple locations, and got rid of the glorious apple & bacon kale bowl. It's called the Namaste, a more typical smoothie with mango, kale, spinach, banana, and apple that also tasted fantastic. The service was great too. I for sure recommend visiting 11:11 Health Bar especially if there's a deal or discount happening!

Seriously though I was frantic about something and she was calm, cool, collected and so competent the MINOR issue was quickly resolved. Thank you so much! Onto the food I primarily eat pescatarian, the chickpea tuna salad and buffaltarian mix and my all time fav the Thai peanut salad with extra, extra, EXTRA veggies (extra tofu and edamame too) and all the glorious sauce they can add. I have some great skills but not time management. There have been days that the Nutty Professor (breakfast is with cold brew, lunch with oat milk) and the Grasshopper with hemp protein and matcha have been the only thing to get me through.

At first glance, it's an unassuming spot, but the quality and creativity of their offerings quickly set it apart. Their unique flavors are exceptional and perfectly balanced. I tried their popular Saffron & Rose, and it was absolutely incredible. It was rich, creamy, and aromatic with just the right level of sweetness. It is a flavor that feels both indulgent and refined. I also had the Pomegranate ice cream, which was a pleasant surprise. It captures the fruit beautifully, blending fruity sweetness with a hint of tartness and just a touch of sourness for a perfectly rounded flavor profile. What makes the experience even better is the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owners are incredibly humble and hospitable. They greet you with a complimentary soft-serve sample as soon as you walk in, and happily let you taste any flavors you are curious about. Little touches like this make a big difference. Another standout is that all their toppings are free, which is almost unheard of nowadays when most places charge extra for every add-on. They deliver both on quality and experience. I will definitely be coming back, especially to try their new and seasonal flavors.

We…read morecame in with high hopes given the amount of rave reviews, and seeing they had a 5 star rating! Truly, hats off to them because that is extremely hard to do. Now for our visit: * We came here for fro-yo and when my friend ordered a small chocolate fro-yo, they proceeded to let her try the chocolate hard ice cream. Me and her were both confused in the moment * While she was eating her sample of the chocolate hard ice cream, they said there's no fro-yo, only hard ice cream * I then tried the chocolate hard ice cream since there was no fro-yo and it tasted like freezer burned chocolate ice cream, so on a whim I got a kiddie sized cookies & cream with rainbow sprinkles * The cookies & cream tub was nearly hitting the bottom (signifying an empty level) and the flavor of the cookies & cream was also freezer burned and tasteless so I can't help but wonder if these ice cream tubs had been sitting there for a while. Neither the chocolate nor cookies & cream tasted fresh, and the consistency was really off (see photos) * I was given my kiddie cup of cookies & cream and wanted sprinkles, which was a self service for me to add toppings. That part also surprised me since you wonder the cleanliness of this (for example, some people might take their ice cream and put it in upside down to add sprinkles to their cup, or use their hands who knows) or in my case, I tried using the spoon to top off my ice cream and so many sprinkles went everywhere. I felt so bad for the mess it made on the counter!! Most fro-yo places are self service when it comes to toppings, but this felt interesting for us to put our own toppings on hard ice cream * I cleaned up the sprinkles that fell on the counter, only to have a hard time opening the trash since it had dried up ice cream all over it. It was covered with dry ice cream all on the top and sides of the bin. An idea would be to use a foot pedal trash can so it doesn't require people to touch the physical trash bin like I had to * The staff was super nice + maybe this was an off day because it's the winter, and I'm sure the fro-yo really is good. I'd still give their fro-yo a try!
