I hate how you pay a convenience fee for food that is right off the highway. The prices here for all of the food stalls averages out to about 30% more than what you would pay elsewhere. Sure, they can get away with it but I use this more for the bathroom stalls after sitting in 95 traffic for an hour than I do for a Big Mac that costs like $7. The bathrooms themselves also aren't always in the best condition as I've walked into some unsightly and gruesome scenes. Not a complaint of the people who service it here but of the animals who are driving all around you on crowded roads who may also stop here and have no sense of dignity. Lack of decent food options (there are only three of them), sometimes yucky facilities and high prices lead to the low rating overall.

Feel free to bring in your whole desktop computer setup and monitor, also you can make your bench a bed!

Clean facilities with a fair amount of parking. Some shady looking occupied cars in the southern part. Otherwise a descent spot.

Massachusetts (my home state) has the worst rest stops. But just compared to other McDonalds, this one is not good.

I recently tried Dave's Hot Chicken, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The chicken was crispy…read moreon the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I ordered the sliders with fries, and everything came out fresh and hot. The spice levels are customizable, which is great whether you like mild flavors or extra heat. The fries were well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the signature Dave's sauce. The portions were generous, making it a good value for the price. The restaurant had a fun atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and efficient. Overall, Dave's Hot Chicken delivers delicious food, bold flavors, and satisfying portions. If you're a fan of spicy chicken sandwiches or tenders, it's definitely worth a visit. I would give it a 5 out of 5 stars.

Went back to Dave's in Newton again...this time to target their new Mozzarella sticks! I love…read moreChili's hot honey mozzarella sticks and I'm glad I can find them easier now at Dave's. Chili's is hard to find around me. This time I ordered from their new kiosks....and it didn't even print my receipt out, but whatever my order was in on the screen. None of hte workers knew what to do about the machine and lack of a receipt but it didn't bother my order. This location also has a new tv screen with order status based on the platform you ordered from. Helpful. We got the usual, a couple of #2 combos. One of them I got one sandiwch mild and the other spicy but both of them tasted mild or something...it had zero heat at all. Funny thing is, the color of the sandwiches looked normal from all of my many previous orders, but flavor wise, they tasted the same. Weird. Still enjoyed them. The mozzarella sticks - I ordered a 5 pack. I can tell you size wise, they are very similar to the Chili's sticks. The crunch on these from Dave's was crunchier IMHO. However, the cheese is packed less densely here vs Chilis. The cheese pull is just as good on this first try, despite less cheese inside. When I ordered the 5 pack, it allowed only ONE spice level option. I wish I could've gotten some medium and some spicy etc. Not very sharing friendly. The staff was super friendly as usual. No problem getting my order and extra sauce packets etc. The place continues to look clean and well maintained. This location and framingham are my 2 fave locations for Dave's.

Jersey Mike's is a straightforward sub shop built around made-to-order sandwiches, and this…read morelocation keeps that experience simple and consistent. We walked into a clean, casual space that makes it an easy option for a quick lunch or an unfussy meal. Sandwiches are prepared in front of you with fresh toppings, and the process feels more personalized than a typical fast food stop. The layout is functional and unpretentious, the kind of place where you can get in and out without unnecessary delay, though the parking can be limited depending on the time of day. The main draw here is the quality of the subs, especially the Italian-style sandwiches and hot grilled options. The Italian subs have a good balance of cured meats, toppings, and seasoning, with each component coming through without overwhelming the others. The hot subs bring a different experience with freshly grilled ingredients that add a richer, more savory dimension to the sandwich. We tried the Steak & Cheese and a Kahuna-style sandwich, both of which stood out with generous portions of beef and a depth of flavor from the grill. The bread, meats, and toppings work together well, making the sandwiches feel more substantial than the average chain sub. The rosemary parmesan bread is worth specifying if you want an extra layer of flavor, as it adds a savory note that pairs naturally with the fillings. The menu offers plenty of customization, whether you prefer a classic cold sub or something hot off the grill. The large sizes are especially worth considering if you want a more filling meal, and the portions generally match the higher price point. Compared to many quick-service sandwich spots, the focus on preparation and ingredient quality gives it a more premium feel. The sandwiches feel crafted rather than assembled, and the attention to slicing meats fresh for each order makes a noticeable difference in the final product. Service can vary depending on how busy the store is. When things are running smoothly, the staff keeps the line moving and the ordering process is quick. During busier periods, waits and order accuracy can become a little inconsistent, which is a common challenge for a location that handles a mix of walk-ins and online orders. The team manages the flow as best they can, and the friendly demeanor of the staff helps smooth over the occasional delays. The overall setup makes it easy to stop in, grab a sandwich, and be on your way. This Jersey Mike's works best as a reliable sandwich option when you want something fresher than a typical fast food meal. The grilled subs and Italian options are the highlights, and the made-to-order approach is what separates it from many other chain sandwich shops. It delivers the kind of hearty, satisfying meal that works equally well for a quick lunch or a casual dinner, and when the timing aligns, the experience feels seamless and worth the stop.

So much potential! I came here as a "safe location" right around the corner from my new office. I…read moreusually avoid chains but I don't know the area (for now) so I didn't want to get lost and this place was right in front of me... I ordered the ham & gouda baguette. I'm giving 2 stars for the baguette (bread) alone, as it was huge AND delicious! If I had to take a guess, it may have been over a foot long in size and tasted homemade. However, the rest of the sandwich was subpar as it was lacking ingredients. In my experience, I've discovered places that use bread like this normally "hollow it out," meaning they take the inside filling out of the bread so they can stuff it with ingredients (ie; ham & gouda). This is not the case here as the bread is not "hollowed out" so the bread-to-meat ratio is off to say the least. Each bite was all bread and barely any filling. Not only was this disappointing but I felt like this was a very expensive sub for what it was even though chips & small drink were included. I will avoid this place in the future unless absolutely necessary...
