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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Great date night spot! Delicious, as always, and the staff are super knowledgeable and attentive.

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

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

This place just keeps getting better and better. It's one of my favorite places right now. A super unassuming restaurant that sits directly across from Delphino's in Roslindale square. Has a bar with ample seating, open kitchen, and great patio for the summer time. The bar has a wide selection of liquor and wine and good specialty drinks. The food is the star of the show. Can't go wrong with any of the specials. Have gone through and tried most everything and haven't been disappointed. The serving size is large and price is very affordable. Service is wonderful and food comes out quickly. Great for a date dinner or light drink and appetizer at the bar. Easy to see why the locals are all regulars here. (Also....TVs at the bar for those not wanting to miss the game. ) read more

I had heard great things about this place and finally got a chance to try it when some friends were visiting from out of town. First impression - this is a really cozy place, lit nice, and the back patio is big and has heat lamps. Great atmosphere. There were 6 of us and we started with the fried goat cheese twinkie and the calamari and it was thumbs up on both of those things. Lots of flavor and the calamari wasn't too chewy. Most people had cocktails and everyone found them to be delicious, so two thumbs up for the bar staff as well. For dinner, there were ribs and salmon and meatloaf and both the fried chicken and the chicken under a brick. Everyone gave thumbs up on their food, but the chicken under a brick was pronounced "just ok". The fried chicken was really, really good and the meatloaf was said to be "extra flavorful and not typical". I think the only thing I can say wasn't great was the service. I know it is a tough job, but our waiter seemed pretty unhappy. He wasn't engaged with us, let our glasses sit empty, didn't have suggestions when I was looked to liven up the mac & cheese (had seen lobster on the online menu and was sad they didn't have it). He seemed annoyed anytime we asked for something and was not excited when we decided we wanted dessert. I have been a server and I don't expect fake bubbles of joy, but it's nice when your waiter puts in some effort. I will definitely go here again (oh, that fried chicken), but will hope to have a different server next time. read more

753 South is a great addition to Rozzie Village. I am always looking for a restaurant with outdoor seating, and the patio here is a welcoming space with plenty of shade for hot summer days. The menu is pretty eclectic, so I'll need more time to try all the different options here - offerings range from Mediterranean platter to a pulled pork sandwich - but for my first visit I ordered the oyster po' boy. It did not disappoint. It was the perfect comfort food I needed after a busy day at work. The fry on the oysters was done well, and the side of fries definitely pleased. The cornbread, however, was the real gem here. It packed a lot flavor, had the perfect texture - good crust on the outside and a soft inside - and the melted butter on top made it some of the best cornbread I have eaten. Definitely order it as a side. The cocktails, on the other hand, could use a bit of work. I found them to be a little weak. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back and seeing how 753 South develops! read more

What a great find! Tried this for the first time last night. The dining space is cozy but it was worth the wait to eat. The drinks were mixed well. It's so nice when bartenders take the time to muddle fresh ingredients together vs. using mixes! The Glendower Gimlet was fantastic! I had the lobster roll poached in butter for dinner. It was really good. Experienced great service even at the bar near the kitchen. Will be back for sure! read more
