    " Food is good & prices fair " The food here is good . The portion sizes generous. The price is fair for the portion size and the food is delicious. It was full however it's fully staff so the wait time was normal even though full . Small place so seating is limited. However you can eat inside or outside on the benches so no worries. It's a great spot in the neighborhood. Plenty of parking all around or accessible by the green line Newton center. Definitely come try or eat here if you're hungry it's well worth it .

    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

    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!

    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).

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

    This is a casual joint -- they do not take reservations. With 6 people during lunch or dinner hours I think it's doubtful you'll find seating inside, but who knows? I would suggest you make a plan to dine outside, just in case the place is jammed.…

Inside, there is Boston memorabilia and distinctly Irish feel with sports, street signs, pictures and references to Ireland. The service is friendly. The food has been consistent and good. The bar is wonderful and quaint. A pint of Guinness never disappoints. I so wanted this to be 5. We Iived in the neighborhood years ago, and would walk to Dunn's especially when we thought I could remodel the kitchen and were without it for six months. The place and service is a 5. The cheesy potato wedges as an app was awesome. The seafood cakes are excellent and a good value. The meatloaf is a little bland and the accompanying broccoli was tough and I didn't finish it. The mash potatoes and gravy are always excellent. The food doesn't seem to be as differentiated as in the past. Overall, Dunn's is a wonderful experience!

We also got the gluten free pasta carbonara (great that they have so many gluten free options for pasta and pizza! major plus), pepperoni pizza (thin crust, very nice crunch), and a bolognese (also good, just a little salty). Also appreciated the customer service. I needed to heat up a bottle for my infant, and they went and got me a bowl of hot water. They also moved some chairs out of the way initially so that we could navigate the restaurant better, and were generally on top of service throughout the night. Really appreciated it!

We ordered drinks, and one came quickly. had to ask another wait staff for remaining drinks 10 minutes later.
