We tried Conrad's in Needham tonight and were really impressed. It's a cozy local spot that's part of a small chain, but it still has a neighborhood feel. I ordered the Bourbon Steaktips Tortellini -- tender bourbon-marinated steak tips served over cheese tortellini in a rich truffle cream sauce with spinach and red peppers, topped with shaved parmesan and toasted garlic bread. Everything was cooked perfectly. The steak tips were incredibly tender, and the bourbon flavor paired surprisingly well with the creamy sauce and perfectly al dente tortellini. Service was excellent from start to finish, and our waitress was attentive and friendly all night. They also have a very solid beer list -- seeing Maine Beer Co. Peepers on tap was a nice bonus. Overall, a really great find and definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Conrad's Restaurant - Bourbon Steak Tip Tortellini - Pizza Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

hi i at at the conrades in needham .the woman that worked the bar was great. the servis was great and also the food was great .hope to hear from you soon. thanks stephen read more

A decent restaurant for family meals when you are too tired to cook at home. Lots of tables, good lighting and TVs in the booths. The steak tips were the best thing we ordered. The Reuben was good, not excellent, and was quite large, so I took 1/2 home. And the clam chowder was served in a big bowl, but the recipe needed more potato and clam, less flour. Still, this was world's better than my cooking, so I'll be back to other things on the menu. And, the people who work here are lovely. It makes the entire experience enjoyable. read more

Had a good experience here recently. Got a mixed grill with potato salad and cole slaw, French onion soup, and a Cobb salad. All was really good. Service was on point. Would definitely return when in the area. read more

See all

Whom ever is working at Conrad's building meals should not be so skimpy on contents. I had a Cobb salad with chicken and found it lacking. Small portions including avocado, bacon and chicken. This is just this location on Conrad's. I had just days ago enjoyed a Cobb salad at Conrad's in Foxboro and it was a bit less expensive and included what I consider an expected amount of each part of the salad. I will not rush back to this location. read more

I stopped in to try as this place opened months ago . I have been to the Norwood location. It was a cold damp raining day. First, place was cold inside, please turn the heat on . I was told the steak tips are supposed to be good. Well , I ordered steak tips to be cooked medium and a beer. The draft beers was a 20 Oz and cold and a good beer. The options for sides on menu detailed minimal options. I selected mashed potatoes , and the only Vegetable option was broccoli , how about corn, green beans, creamed or sautéed spinach, honey carrots, grilled asparagus, grilled garlic brussel sprouts , anything?. I consider myself well versed on steak tips from All locations Newton Dunn's, Oharas , Paddy's . Doms in Malden, 99 restaurants tips, Conrad's Norwood, Lewis's , Texas Roadhouse, Long horn, Capital grill, 110 Grill, Villa Wayland Applebees, Midway Dedham, Dubliner Boston and many others steak tips serving locations . Even the steak tips at Joe's 320 cafe diner West Roxbury were better. These came cold more medium rare than medium .... Looked reheated vs. fresh grilled . No marination flavors ....how about teriyaki, bourbon, bbq, honey , anything for flavor. Mashed potatoes cold , lousy, no flavors, needed cream or butter or anything. My I mother would never serve mashed potatoes as lame as these mashed, no cream, butter or parsley , or cheddar, garlic, onion ... again any flavors .The broccoli was cold , no flavors , no steamed butter or sautéed in lemon flavors ... tasted bland cold, not cooked at all... Entire meal needed a chef ? Menu looked boring options , like a 99 restaurant with 99 more options and seafood . At least Applebees prices are reasonable for better or similar bar type food. Wasn't many steak tips for the price . No bread, rolls, butter offered. I had to ask for butter for flavorless mashed potatoes and dry broccoli. I don't see ordering this again here. I'll be honest .... The restaurant up the street I have eaten at few times has a better experience, food excellent, and appears a chef. Anyway... beer was good, staff nice, may stop back in future and try a burger and a beer ... But , with better options up the street ( I won't mention the name to avoid dinging Conrad's with a competition restaurant) or next town over ; tough to risk another lousy meal which was 47 bucks ... 1 entree, 1 20oz beer, decent tip... I think place needs improvements for food, menu , overall kitchen support... Serving this should be seen by a manager as lacking. Sorry... I wanted to like my dinner outing. I don't recall the Norwood location being this bad . read more

I was so happy to see that Needham gained another family-owned restaurant! My mom and I stopped by here for lunch on a Sunday. Service is wonderful, all the staff is super nice! I got a cheeseburger with fries, and my mom got a salmon bowl. My California burger was cooked perfectly, well-done, and was relatively juicy. The toppings were fresh and the bun was tasty. The fries were very good too. The staff was super accommodating to bring me a table full of various sauces for my fries as well. My mom's blackened salmon was very tasty, and the chipotle sauce drizzle served as a nice compliment to the flavors in the bowl. Fresh avocado in the burger and in the bowl was very appreciated! So tasty. We will be back! read more

Conrad's Restaurant - Burger and fries, salmon bowl - Pizza Near Me - Needham, Massachusetts

Conrad's has opened another location in Needham in the former Bertucci's next door to Cookie Monstah. They also have locations in Norwood, Walpole, and Foxborough. This popular restaurant and bar offers a solid menu including a selection of appetizers, salads, chili, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, steaks, chicken dishes, turkey tips, seafood, pizza, calzones, desserts, and kids menu. The full service bar offers 20 draft beers, bottle/can beers, wine list, and cocktails. The prices are moderate. The space was redone which offers seating at the bar, high top tables, and table seating, plus flatscreen TVs throughout the space. I stopped by Conrad's - Needham for dinner recently. I used to frequent their former Sudbury location and enjoyed several dinners with my local friend there. The place was very busy when I arrived around 5pm, every seat at the bar occupied. I was seated at a high top table and given menus. The server arrived promptly and took my drink order. I ordered my food shortly after. For a starter, the Crock of Chili ($8.99 plus tax) served with crunchy corn tortilla chips waa comprised of 3 kinds of beans, ground beef and a mild spicy base, topped with melted cheese. Next, the side salad (included with my dinner entree) had a mix of greens & lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, croutons, and dressing on the side. For dinner, the Chicken Marsala ($19.99 plus tax) was comprised of tender pieces of boneless chicken, bacon mushrooms, seasonings and soft linguine in a wine sauce, dried parsley garnish. I bit into a chicken tendon though, a minor comment. I asked for a box for some of this pasta dish so I could order dessert. For dessert, the White Chocolate Cherry Bread Pudding ($9.99 plus tax) was a nice ending to a filling dinner, a warm housemade bread pudding with white chocolate chips, cherries & cinnamon finished with caramel anglaise and vanilla ice cream. The check was presented which was $41.69 with tax and before tip. Overall, dinner was pretty good and the service was very prompt with food items being served in rapid fire succession, still working on previous food items. I will keep Conrad's - Needham in my rotation for dinner. read more

Sat at the bar. Total patrons sitting at the bar 4. Asked for a BUDWIESER with a glass, server came back with bottle, asked if I wanted a glass. Never a good sign. People beside us ordered steak tips and wanted bread and a salad. Salad and bread never came till he asked again when his steak tips arrived. Now 5 total sitting at the bar Rubin meat was cut too thick and was tough. Needs to be sliced thin. Windows were open so you got the full effects of the commuter train passing the building. Out of 5 visits they have not made the food I ordered right To bad we needed a new GOOD restaurant read more

I was just there yesterday for an after party from my good friend's funeral. The restaurant was a bit smaller in size and the ones I'm used to as I go to several other Conrad restaurants in the state. But it was very nice. It was still open in here just like all the other ones we went to the back room with the gathering was being held and it was a bit cramped in the room. The bartending service was wonderful. They were very up on top of everybody's drinks the flow and kept going without a problem. They had ice water and other things there. We just sit around for a while talking with everyone then they brought the food out. It looked delicious. However it was a bit disappointing. The Caesar salad was perfect right temperature of right dressing. Everything else rolls and butter are fine. However, the main courses were a bit on the cool side. We had like a pasta dish with some sort of like peachy colored sauce and I think it had spinach in it that was definitely cold. Next we had a grilled chicken that was warm and very thin like and then there was a steak tips to steak. Tips were very good. They were tenders could be. I've had them other Conrads before that they were just exactly the same they were perfect And at the end they had string beans, but the string beans were kind of crunchy. I'm not sure if this is where they're supposed to be or if they just didn't cook them long enough. That part of it was disappointing. I will definitely go back and try this new Conrads again with my husband and myself another time we can have lunch and have something else to compare it to. But other than that, the service were very nice and I ended up taking home two desserts the peanut butter bomb as well as the white chocolate cherry bread pudding both were fantastic with every penny really good food, etc.. read more

The atmosphere is very nice - though a TV at every single table is a bit much. Food is very mediocre - so mediocre that I've eaten my last meal there. It's like a place that specializes in nothing in particular. They DO have amazing potato salad, but that's the only thing I've had there that has been great. Some staff has been nice, but mostly sort of "meh" and recently we had a waitress who treated us like we were a pain in her butt ... and we were her only customers (we think she was bummed that we came in at 8:30pm on a Saturday and she couldn't leave early). Service aside, it's the food that made me decide not to return. If they can improve it, I'd go back. read more

Hi Yelp! I stumbled into this place on a sunny spring morning. To my surprise the food was delish and the drinks were to die for! I sat at the bar (lonely) but I instantly felt like I was surrounded by old friends. The quirky bartender Emily was let's just say quite a character. The other bartender Bobby was a class act let me tell you. Lovely place! read more

if you want to watch a sport show, or have your kid watch television during dinner this is your place. Each booth has their own TV. our wait person said they are known for their steak tips so we had those. Stringy unevenly cooked some were rare some were overdone. Tasteless mashed potatoes not great service. Some of us had our plates sitting in front of us 10 minutes after others had been taken away. None of us will be back read more

We were with a large group who all ordered separately. The waitstaff handled us very well. My margarita was weak and watery, but the food was very good. The pricing was fair and the dining rooms were comfortable. read more

Love the food. Service was great. Lots of attention and the food arrived quickly. Tips, burgers, pizza all are top notch!

Terrific experience at Conrad's last night- our second visit Elizabeth was our server and she knows her stuff! Very pleasant and attentive- food was generous and delicious- salads cold and crisp- baked stuffed shrimp and chicken piccata outstanding and who needs to address the steak tips! So glad Conrad's chose Needham read more

Turkey and steak tips were delicious with amazing mashed potatoes, grandson had a great burger but french fries tasted like they need to change the oil and left an aftertaste. Great waitress, very hospitable employees. read more

Huge menu. Food really good. Easy casual ambiance. Family friendly. Decent neighborhood restaurant that you can go to and know that you'll get a good meal and not crazy prices read more

Well prepared food, attentive and cordial server, reasonably priced in an attractive, comfortable, family friendly atmosphere. A solid "go to" anytime you want a solid dining experience without hassle. Happy to have them in the neighborhood!! read more

Wow I'm actually shocked at all the great reviews. I am one and done. Steak tips were chewy, turkey tips were dry. Side of vegetable medley were inedible-literally came out of a frozen vegetable bag. read more

Ambiance is very clean. Very comfortable family vibe. But the food is over priced and under quality. 20 bucks for chicken parm that made with Prego sauce topped with sliced cheese. I think this place has potential just needs better food quality. Drinks were 50/50 hit or miss. Fried cauliflower was good. They newly opened hopefully in time they will improve to be competitive with the local restaurants. read more

Service and beer were adequate! I ordered the "Captain Platter". It consisted of haddack, scollops(4), shrimp(2); all broiled. I was hugely disappointed! The haddock was mush, the shrimp mushy on bottom, the scallops small, tough, and over cooked. The fish and shrimp hadn't been turned while cooked so only one side fully cooked. I believe the fish was frozen prior to cooking. Nothing worse than fish that has been frozen then cooked! Grossly overpriced at $25.99. Almost forgot, the potatoe salad was good. read more

First time at this location. I looked at a draft beer list with no prices. I chose a 16 oz Maine Lunch which I've had at many other restaurants & bars. When I got my check I discovered that I was charged $16 for the beer. This is an outrageously high price compared to every other place I've gone to. If the price was listed on the draft beer list I never would have ordered it. Besides that, the food & service were fine. read more

The place is ok. However, I did encounter two incredibly rude employees that will ensure I will never come back again. An employee named Joanie spent most of the shift in the corner gossiping with another employee, white male in his late 20s, and they both even bad-mouthed their former places of employment to us. So unprofessional. Would not recommend. Food came out cold. read more

Poor service and very little food for the price: I ordered the combo plate: steak tips and turkey tips and got 3 small steak tips and 4 small turkey tips for $24.99. There is an additional charge if you pick a side salad as one of your sides, which I was not told about. The bartender was more interested in talking with the other staff than service. She brought my salad after the entree only when I reminded her. I think I will stick with the Norwood and Walpole locations where you get a better meal and service. read more

Ordered fish and chips. $20.99. Three very small pieces - I'm guessing 4 oz total before breading. Overpriced for what you get.

Great spot,Great steak tips fast friendly service and sides are very good not just an afterthought.lots of televisions but not blaring so you can have a conversation .It is a new restaurant so everything is fresh and clean. read more

this place surprised me! food was good, I got the carbonara and my boyfriend got the bacon jam burger and both were yummy! our server, Tim (i think) was super welcoming and kind! he made our night and was funny, will definitely be going back read more

The pizza was excellent! Happy to have Conrad's in Needham. Enjoyed the restaurant in Norwood. The pizza is the same.

It was my first time visiting the Needham location. I have been to the Norwood location in the past. I ordered the pizza. It was exactly as I remembered it from the Norwood location. It was delicious! My husband at the leftovers and also enjoyed the pizza. read more

Such a great new addition to Needham! I would recommend Conrad's to anyone looking to having a family-friendly meal!
