We tend to always get the same plates, but they're SO GOOD, done in or take away. One of our favorite places in the village.

Cannot recommend this place strongly enough! Great food and service. The polenta goat cheese Twinkie appetizer was amazing and a delicious start to the meal! read more

It was a cozy place. Sat at the bar so we had a front row seat to the ins and outs of the kitchen. Didn't love seeing the [precooked] ribs being unwrapped, heated up, piled on with the sauce. Salad personnel visibly flossing her teeth whilst assembling a quick Caesar. Probably won't go back. read more

I live there neighborhood but weirdly I come here maybe once a year. I usually get a burger or fish but decided on the chicken under a brick. Holy smokes! What have I been waiting for? This chicken is now my go-to. Fantastic! So why four stars? The noise level inside is crazy high. I have fancy high-tech hearing aids and they could barely keep up. Maybe this is why I come once a year, and only eat in the courtyard. Another plus is the service. Consistently great every time I've been here. read more

I found that prices were a bit high for what you get. For example, Classic Ceasar Salad....$12.00 add 1/2 Chicken breast, $10.00. That would make it $22.00 "for a salad. read more

Solid! One of my favorite places to dine. I get the fried chicken breast and have never been disappointed. Gets better every time. Drinks and service are on point as well. My friend has gotten different dishes and never dissatisfied. read more

Great fish and chips! And I always love tacos - fish and chicken. It is small so may be nosy but still recommend. Service is always good - food was hot when we got it! read more

I really like this place. We came with 4 older adults for dinner based on yelp reviews. It did not disappoint. The dining room is attractive but a bit too open and crowded, thus so noisy that it's impossible to follow a conversation across the table. We each had different items from the menu, a burger, steak frites, shrimp po boy, and brick chicken among other items (drinks and appetizers). The food was tasty, portion sizes reasonable, and prices competitive. We will be back! read more

Ordered pickup. At 5:45 PM on a Wednesday. 1 Item, a Vegetarian Chili. Drove there, ambiance was fine, but there was almost no-one there, just a few at the bar. I confirmed with the receptionist that the item was vegetarian, but I should have checked my order before I left, because I once I finally got home, I found beef. When I called back to discuss with the receptionist again, she asked the back of house, and "they couldn't remember" whether it was beef or vegetarian chili. If this is how you respect dietary preferences, I won't be trying your food again. read more

What a great dinner! Started with some apps - yes we tried the Twinkie. It was amazing! Great entrees as well. Highly recommend this place and we will be back. read more

Pretty spot, right off the T. Main complaint are the price difference between their online and in real life menu... I would understand old Yelp pics but their website is wrong. Secondly, is how long any attention took for a bar with only 4 sat at completely empty restaurant. We only realized price differences as we didn't get a *menu* for 10 mins, after being sat, until we asked for it, twice. read more

Pleasant ambience, friendly service. The Mediterranean Fattoush salad is vile... do not order it. Bitter dressing and bitter dried herbs top a stingy portion of lettuce with a few tiny little croutons instead of toasted pita triangles, and some minute tomato cubes with a few bits of a poor quality feta cheese. Don't bother. read more

My husband and I have lived in Roslindale for over twenty years and we've always supported local businesses. On 4/4/25, we sat at the bar for dinner at 753 were ignored and denied service by the owner (tall fairly thin gray haired man). He cleared the area next to us, provided menus, wine glasses and welcomed three white men to sit down for service. We were beyond insulted. Make no mistake, this was not a misunderstanding or an error he blatantly treated us differently and I will make it a priority to raise public awareness about what happened to us in addition to reporting this incident to the civil rights division of the attorney general's office. read more

Solid, reliable neighborhood spot serving approachable classics like fried chicken, fish, & steak. I can't say I've ever been blown away by any food or drink here, but haven't had anything that I didn't care for either, and overall have found it pretty consistent and am usually satisfied with my meal. The menu doesn't change a whole lot, and I'd personally love to see more rotating specials, specifically with a description of them online (the take-out portal saying something like "salmon special" doesn't really help describe what the dish is about?). read more

Great service. Excellent meal. Good variety. Great for date night! Recommend making a reservation especially on the weekend read more

Pictures do not do this place justice. Terrific meal. A gorgeous outside dining area. Lots of great menu options for our many dietary requirements. Stiff gin and tonic (two thumbs up). The goat cheese Twinkie was to die for. read more

The food is excellent, and the staff aims to please. We had made a reservation to eat outside, on the back patio. Unfortunately, the reservation got lost in the shuffle. No worries! We were given a table outside, and when it started to drizzle, they moved us to a table that was protected by an umbrella. I ordered the special: baked sole with mashed potatoes and green beans. Everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. My friend ordered the Twinkie, which was goat cheese that was deep-fried. It was excellent. My other friends always order the salmon and that's what they did on our recent visit. They enjoyed their meal as well. I would return. read more

What a wonderful find! We were heading up to MGM Fenway to see the Pretenders and decided to stop in Roslindale to try this place. The reviews were good. The food was excellent. Prompt service, tasty drinks and a very attentive wait staff! Highly recommended and we will be back again on our next visit into the city. Roslindale has many great eateries- this spot is at the top of the list! read more

Love the patio and the goat cheese Twinkie and fish tacos are delicious. The hosts work to get everyone seated though they are very busy. Waitstaff was friendly and available. read more

Awesome ambiance, friendly diners sitting near by to point out the house favorites, and wonderful tasty entrees. The Fish tacos were the best around & the portion was immense! The vibe was cool and laid back. Def coming back soon! Quite a find in Rossie Sq. read more

Been going for a quiet a while but just can't go back anymore. The food is good and staff is mostly friendly but the tall muster looking owner can be rude and tonight he just ignored my wife and I sitting at the bar in front of him to tend to a couple that sat after us (next to us), and he's done the same to my daughter in the past. His demeanor is always off putting. I've always had the feeling he doesn't like "us". read more

Food was decent, but ambience and service were laughable. The place was pretty dark and music was too loud to have a conversation. The waiter was the slowest I have seen in a long time. We waited fifteen minutes just to get our check paid. Meanwhile, dude was just leaning against a window doing nothing with a half empty restaurant. read more

Hadn't been to 753 in a while but always enjoy my time here, which is usually on the patio even pre Covid. I got the bargains of the nite, a $9 glass of Gruner Veltliner and the $17 fried chicken breast dinner w green beans, mashed and gravy. The order is huge looking like a schnitzel. I started by cutting it in half but decided screw it, I'm eating the whole meal. So good. Friends got the same plus a nice big arugula salad and well made cocktails. Had a bite of the bread pudding for dessert, just the way it should be on the light puffy side. Great patio, awesome service, nice time. They've got heat lamps ready to go when it gets cooler. read more

I finally came here for brunch and was very well pleased. My family ordered the omlette special of the day which consists of spinach and mushrooms and goat cheese and I had the eggs sardou with artichoke which was delicious! Highly recommend. Friendly service. Will happily come back here again! read more

Fun neighborhood restaurant. Easy menu, fun drinks to sample. Parking right next door (also right by the Roslindale Village MBTA station$. They have outdoor seating as well read more

Fantastic food! Everything on the menu looked wonderful! The service was perfect and ambiance relaxing. I hope to visit 753 south again and again! read more

The food is very good here, but limited especially for vegetarians. They do have a couple of good salads (the apple pecan arugula salad is my favorite and my go to) but if you don't want a salad your only other options are a beyond burger or the mac n cheese, both of which are delicious but I'd understand why you wouldn't want them. The drinks are tasty and very creative and nicely presented. They're colorful and classy, yet still fun. Again, while the menu is limited, they do everything exceedingly well. read more

Our first dinner at 753 South was Thursday right before an opera at Substation. Our waitress was so attentive knowing we had a show to attend. The food and drinks both were fine, especially The Cornell, a mix of prosecco, bitters & sugar cube. Not at all sweet. For appetizer my husband and I shared a Mediterranean combo. We got pita bread plus hummus, baba ganoush, feta, maybe tzatziki, & another, all very tasty. Our entrees were fish & chips and brick chicken. My husband found his fish to be fresh, delicious. He couldn't finish the fries! My chicken was juicy white meat reminding me of spatchcocked chicken we eat occasionally. It was served with smashed potatoes and arugula. I took some home it was so generous. Oddly we had trouble reserving a table by calling so I emailed my request. You can't imagine how surprised I was to promptly hear from Bob whom I presume is manager. As we left I noticed a man standing near the door who turned out to be Bob so I complimented him on the restaurant. Bottom line -- The atmosphere at 753 was welcoming to all, including a handicapped entrance in the rear. The menu focuses on a few dishes and we were entirely pleased. Atmosphere is upbeat, staff are helpful and the kitchen staff, very competent. We hope to return. Thank you so much. read more

Another pinterest-esque place to eat in Roslindale Village! Seriously, is it just a Roslindale thing to have cute patios? It was humid-less summer afternoon so I took the opportunity to take my friends to Redd's for dinner and drinks out on their patio. To our surprise, the gate was locked and chairs were stacked on top of tables. Apparently, Redd's is only open on Sundays for brunch and closes after 3p. My friends were hangry and looked to me to rectify this situation and I did just that when I opened my handy dandy Yelp app to find this "hot new restaurant." 753 South has an equally cute of a patio dining area as Redd's with dangling string lights and all. Food was fantastic too. I wasn't too hungry so I didn't get the brick chicken the other reviews mention. Instead I ordered the Cuban sandwich. The Cuban was slightly oily but the flavors were just right. Plus, I loved that there was plenty of pickles inside the sandwich and on the side! My friends got the burger and the walnut apple salad and both really liked their food. In fact, my eyes kept wandering to other tables because all the food looked so good! All in all, great food in a great space. I suggest making a trip out here before the weather gets too cold to sit in the patio. read more

753 South - Cuban with plenty of pickles! - Bars Near Me - Roslindale, Massachusetts

Another cornerstone of Rozzie. Comfort food through and through with some interesting and creative cocktails. The staff, most of whom have been there for many years, are jovial, attentive and knowledgeable. Bob, the owner, is always present to ensure his customers are well cared for. I recommend everything in the menu! No lie. My favorites are the Twinkie, chicken under a brick, fried chicken, lamb meatballs and all the salads. Don't forget to finish off with the brioche bread pudding or chocolate mousse and Judy's infamous espresso martini! It's a very comfortable and warm dining room and a bar crowd of locals who are very welcoming. read more

Been going to this restaurant for years. Love the food, great atmosphere . Worst experience at the end of my meal. The server was not pleased with the tip. Therefore, she took it upon herself to mention it on my way out. She said "thanks for the blank amount tip" in a sarcastic tone. She made the comment In front of other guests, the other server and my companion. It was very unprofessional , poor taste and a complete shame. I really enjoyed my meals there and spent money often there. read more

Awesome food and drinks, great service, mice city on the patio. Chicken tacos, nachos, chicken sandwich, and cuban were all wonderful. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. She even gave us a delicious order of fish tacos that was incorrectly ordered for another table. Had some little mouse guests running around on the patio at night, but can't expect them to fix Boston's outdoor rodent problem. Will dine indoors at night next time. read more

I swear Rozzie Square has the best restaurants. I came here after work for an early dinner and it was wonderful. I started with 6 oysters for the buck a shuck deal. They were real good. Not too Briney. Nice and meaty. I should have asked what kind they were. For entrees, I got the Cuban sandwich but subbed out the fries with a Caesar salad. My bf got the pulled pork tacos. The Cuban was massive. It was really good. Crunchy bread. Tender and flavorful pork. A little spice from the mustard. I wish it had more pickles though. It needed more acid. My bf devoured his tacos. He said the apple slaw was incredible. For dessert, we shared a chocolate lava cake. It was a decent size! About a fist size big. It was warm and gooey though no "lava" poured out. I would still order it again. Overall, I had a great experience here. The server was attentive and the busboy as well. He constantly filled our waters. If you can, sit by the kitchen counter. It's awesome watching them work! read more

Alisa is a phenomenal bartender. I'm an espresso martini SNOB!!! She makes the best one yet!!! Highly recommend visiting her. Not only is her cocktail delivery exceptional but her personality is better. I'll DEFINITELY be back. read more

Food amazing! Consistantly Fantastic. Service NOT good, food served at different times only 3 diners,4 minute wait no apology. Brought steak tips ordered steak. "oh sorry" Not replaced. read more

Absolute neighborhood gem. Love the patio in the warmer months. Service is great, and food delish. Nice for a drink at the bar as well.

LOVE this place. Dylan has been our server a few times and is wonderful. Do you ever go to a restaurant and see how the staff interacts with the customers and think "wow, I want to be a regular here"? That's how my partner and I felt when we first came. The cocktails are wonderful and the food is always amazing. I also love the outdoor dining area. It's so cute and secluded, and each table is spread out enough that you feel like you have some privacy. It's also close enough to everyone else that you can see their food and decide what to order Love this place! read more

Amazing, start to finish. Great service even better food and drink. 6 stars if I could give it

Love this restaurant. Even as takeout (thank you Coronavirus), it doesn't disappoint. The food is always spot on, service is great, and all for a good price. Calamari, burger, and fish tacos are some of our favorites, but honestly we've never had a dish we didn't like read more
