I love Roza Lyons - this is my go to bar to grab drinks in my neighborhood for the last 3 years & I always have the best time. This was my first time trying out the food and we were a bit underwhelmed! The chicken wings were nothing special - the actual wing was good but honestly they had no real flavor at all. I got the philly cheese steak and while it was good, there was really not a lot of steak/filling so it felt very small & dry (so much bread), the tots were great though! My boyfriend got the crab cakes & he said they were some of the best he has had a while. Food wise, I would probably give Roza Lyons a 2 but I love the environment, the entire staff, as well as the drinks & live music so giving the overall restaurant a 4! read more

Great bar in South Boston. Fantastic selection of beer on tap and wide selection of items on the menu. The Rattlers are a great appetizer to start with. I had the ABLT and it was delicious. The bread was flavorful. Service was top notch. Interior was well done read more

I don't normally write reviews but felt it was necessary in this case. I went to this restaurant for the first time tonight and felt extremely uncomfortable due to service and attitudes of staff. Overall would not come back not based on food but on staff attitude. read more

Spacious outdoor patio but not the best scenery with lovely East Broadway in the background. Steak & avocado salad was a solid delicious big portion meal. Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare! Would come back for steak. Tried the Hawaiian bowl, but surprisingly comes with long grain rice instead of short grain rice. Not a huge fan. Bonus - side of tots for only $4! read more

This place is disrespectful. A server literally to my face yelled " f****ing move" to me as I was walking from the bathroom. Every table near me that heard it was applauded too. read more

We got a table right away! In South Boston, hard to get anything right away because it is so populated. We got here right at 3:00 so they were still serving Brunch on this Saturday. I opted for the breakfast burrito which comes with home fries or tater tots and a nice fruit salad. My honey got the Roza Lyons brunch quesadilla. Filled with blackened chicken, scrambled eggs, bacon & different cheeses. He got the home fries which were nicely seasoned and covered with grilled onions and peppers. He loved them! This is a cozy, nicely decorated Southie favorite. It is on Broadway, one of the main streets here. The windows open to a beautifully decorated area of outside seating. The staff are great. Everyone is on point. There is a Walgreen's directly across the street where you can possibly park but it does say for Walgreens customers, all others will be towed. We parked there with no problem. Easily accessible by the T. Another one of my must try. You will not be disappointed. read more

There's something to be said for vibes. These alone were enough to propel Roza Lyons into 5-star territory. That and the fact that they aren't afraid to use basic seasoning (looking at you, On Deck). Unfortunately, I didn't come hungry. So I only had enough space in my stomach for the Rattlers. These were great! The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly and was the true star of the show. The supporting acts of cheese and sun-dried tomato tortilla did not get lost along the way. In a word, everything was balanced! Only the tiny (and undressed) side salad seems like an afterthought. I'd also like to take a moment to point out the sauces. The habanero ranch was pleasant, though alas, my heat tolerance to make an impact. The hot sauce, though... let me tell you: this stuff is HOT! Solid flavor and real heat! Proceed with caution. The Cool as a Paloma cocktail was terrific! It hit all the right notes from the recipe. There were flavors of cucumber, a little sweetness from the grapefruit, and some spice from the jalapeño. Overall, it was refreshing and strong despite not tasting super boozy. Finally, the vibes, as mentioned earlier: This is the kind of place with local regulars where everyone knows each other. Not just by name but about their lives and families. Even as a first-timer, I felt welcome as well! People aside, the location itself is clean and welcoming. While I may not be a local (at least not yet), I may, at some point become one of the regulars! read more

Great spot to sit outside & grab some good American food. The street tray nachos give you so much for the price & will give you more sides of guac, salsa, and sour scream for free if needed read more

Three of us arrived at 5:15. We were told that we had to order our food and be gone by 6:30. We ordered appetizers, and then ordered the main course.. Every 15 minutes we were reminded that we have to be out by 6:30 because of other reservations! Since the second course arrived late, they moved us to another table, and told us we had only 20 minutes left before we had to be out! We did not stay and packed our food to take out. It was the worst dining experience I ever experience in my entire life, These people are a disgrace! If they the last restaurant in Boston, I would never go back! What disrespect for customers and people who pay hard earned money for a good dining experience.! I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my worst enemies! Save your money and save your time and go someplace where they respect customers, and don't give them the "bums rush!" read more

Delicious food! In. Special the cauliflower pizza. In addition to a good service 100 recommended read more

Stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for a Pats game. Got seated right away despite a good-sized crowd. Great service - cheerful and attentive. Order the Rattlers for an app. Perfect to share. The Philly Cheesesteak with tater tots was terrific. Now, Roza Lyons is a go to on Broadway! read more

The food was unique and amazing! Tuna salad and turkey melt wrap/sandwich were great as well as the bruschetta app. Service was good and staff was super friendly! Highly recommend this spot if you are in town. Great spicy Paloma as well. Extremely well balanced with sweet and spice! read more

Forgot to take pictures.. but really enjoyed Roza Lyons! Stopped in after a day at M Street Beach with a friend. We got the rattlers for an appetizer and they were excellent. Full of chicken and very cheesy/crispy. Came with both a spicy sauce and a ranch type sauce for dipping. The spicy sauce gave a really good kick. They were so good I almost ordered more. Got the Mexican Wrap for dinner. Nice and toasty! Blackened chicken was awesome plus lettuce tomato bacon and guac. Wrap came with baked tater tots that were very crispy. Will definitely be back! read more

I have little need to try other establishments in Southie. Roza's food is top notch, prices are decent for Boston, new specials every week, drinks are amazing, the ladies and gentlemen that work there are some of the awesomest people in new England! The atmosphere is really laid back and chill, (none of the loud and crazy and wild stuff I've seen outside some of the other bars in the area) definitely a plus to me! The owner's are always sponsoring(or doing something related to) some kind of walk or run supporting a good cause around Boston, those are fun too, or helping raise money for a little league team, or something! I love seeing a business that gives back to it community! read more

Roza is good, with the right expectations. The drinks and food aren't the best in the immediate area, but they have a nice street patio (Covid times at least), nice giant window that opens, and much less crowded than many of the surrounding places. Chicken pot pie had curry in it which was um interesting, but, overall and I'd be back for a casual night out read more

Roza Lyons - Chicken Pot Pie - Salad Near Me - South Boston, Massachusetts

Roza Lyons is decent! I didn't expect the food to be good, but have been here twice - once for lunch and one for a night watching the Pats kick some bootay. Lunch time I got one of their paninis (forgetting the name, but it had apple, gouda, turkey I want to say), which was actually quite good - my only quarrel was there was no option for french fries... just chips... womp womp. The second time we got their queso which was awesome, mainly due to the large chunks of chicken within the dip. Not to spicy, but a nice kick to it. A friend next to me had ordered the nachos which looked UNBELIEVABLE, not one chip left untopped. And the toppings appeared to be a nice array of everything you want on a loaded nacho plate. Overall, fun environment here, especially during a sports game, or just grabbing some drinks and apps with some friends. read more

Topline: Was recommended this place by my Air BnB host and it did not disappoint. Good vibes, perfect spot to catch up with friends, a date, or on hang out by yourself. Great food and service. Ambience: 5/5. Narrow bar area when you walk in that is super crowded around dinner time, even on a weeknight. Seemed like it was a lot of regulars who knew each other. Past the bar the seating area is small and intimate, perfect for a date night. For Mr. Solo Dolos, there are 5-6 TVs all playing different sports channels. Service: 5/5. Colleen was awesome. Super helpful in explaining different options on the menu for foods and drinks. Taste: 5/5. The fettuccine with their house marinara was so good. They have a special frozen watermelon slushy drink that was pretty good, although probably not everyone's cup of tea. Expensiveness: 4/5. $30 for a house drink and an entree. About what I'd expect to spend at a nice restaurant in any major city. read more

Kind of blown away at the menu of a neighborhood bar in Southie. No shade, but there are tons of restaurants around like Lincoln Tavern and the Broadway and I had never heard of Roza Lyons until someone posted a picture next to their heaters on the 'gram. I messaged them and came in soon after. They had one table with a temporary barricade to stop the wind and a huge heat lamp above our table-- that's the table I would recommend if outdoor seating pops up again in Boston. The eggs benedict were great (we asked for regular bacon instead of Canadian), the breakfast pizza was very good, as were the drinks. I have to dock them one star because the inside doesn't seem super conscious of COVID restrictions-- there was a relatively large party near the front door/bar. However, this place has a good vibe during COVID-- a veritable unicorn amidst the pandemic. read more

Our favorite neighborhood spot. Such friendly staff and awesome food! I love grabbing a seat at the bar!

Classic Boston pub. Terrific creative food. Load up on the appetizers and the Deep Eddy Vodka specials!!

Love it! Great- food, drinks, and atmosphere. The staff is friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend.

I've been to the Roza Lyons about 8 times for drinks. Bar staff very friendly and great service. For the first time went there for early dinner. The food was not bad but the service was terrible. The waiter was extremely unfriendly, rude and pushy. This experience would make me think twice about ever going back. Road Lyons is in walking distance from home; but other places with better food and service also nearby. Very disappointed because I brought friends with me and we went in my recommendation! read more

This place is fantastic. Great ambience, service, and food. One of my favorite places in town.

Do yourself a favor. Order the buffalo Mac and cheese. Perfection!!!!! The rattlers and tacos carnitas complete the family meal. Always a hit! read more

The service was good, but the food was awful. Way too salty and weird flavors. Won't be back.

RL needs to do a little more advertising because this place could easily be overlooked. After 1.5 years of living in Southie, finally gave it a try for brunch. Bar is a little dark but is a great space. TVs surround the walls so you have plenty of viewing options for sports. Bar tender and waitress were very friendly and greeted us right away. Brunch was crazy good. $10 for each meal which is affordable and worth every cent. Kelsey and I could only finish half of our meals because it was so big. Perfect flavor, came out hot, and had fruit salad and home fries as a side. I had the quesadilla with blackened chicken and it was great. Kelsey had the breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon & sausage. It was grilled and easy to eat. I can't believe I've missed out on numerous brunch opportunities here. Will recommend to anyone looking for a brunch spot that doesn't want to deal with crowds, big wait times or numerous teeny boppers in chokers constantly yelling. Delicious, great price, even better service. read more

we have been getting take out from here for months (we live on east 3rd) but haven't had the experience of dining here! we had a HORRIBLE experience at an overpriced, unorganized back bay restaurant. i called roza lyons for a reservation (while still sitting at our current restaurant) and they welcomed us with open arms. their covid standards are impeccable. we sat indoors and they have plexi lining in between each table. the food and drinks are unreal and we should've gone here in the first place!! staff couldn't have been nicer. thanks again! we have loved the takeout during quarantine and had an even better experience in the restaurant. can't wait to order the buffalo mac and cheese again! read more

Love this place!!! Last night my daughter and I were passing by the restaurant. The hostess was warm, welcoming and very sweet with my daughter. Alan, the bartender, is fabulous! Both Alan & Brian, one of the patron's, at the bar were super kind and generous to my daughter & made a donation to her Girl Scout troop to support first responders. Kindness always wins! Dine local! read more

We were looking for a place to have lunch that was fairly close to our hotel. This place fit the bill. We had the apple & goat cheese salad, tuna tartare, and pretzels. All of them were great!! Good beer & wine list too. Will be back on our next visit. read more

Another great addition to the neighborhood. Nice to have an option that isn't blaring loud music and I can actually have a conversation! The servings were much bigger than I expected! I got two apps ($10 each) and it was almost too much food for one sitting and I took some home! They have a great drink list with a lot of beer options on draft. Will definitely be returning in the near future to try more of the menu! Very attentive waitress and someone who might have been an owner checking in. I appreciate that especially with a new business! read more

Roza Lyons - Pretzels with cheese dip (with siracha, I might ask them to hold that next time), chicken lettuce wraps, crab cakes and the Lyon sandwich - Salad Near Me - South Boston, Massachusetts

Roza Lyons is the Southie version of Cheers. We walked in, grabbed a spot at the bar, and proceeded to become best friends with the two guys on the bar seats next to us. Great lively and friendly atmosphere, and most welcoming bar to stop by if you're flying solo for the night, as you're sure to make friends. While the general space and bar area is small, you're sure to find an open table if you're ok not sitting right in front of the bar area. While I don't think people come here for the food, we were pleasantly surprised that they can still serve up a mean sandwich. We came out of sheer curiosity, we'll return for another night of pleasant debauchery with our new friends! read more

Great place for wonderful food, great beer selection and service is fantastic. Wonderful local bar that has a great mature bar atmosphere read more

Great place, nice outdoor seats, really good menu with a lot of options and great stuff

Came here on a night with a friend! We don't usually come to the area but are glad that night suggest Roza Lyons for brunch. We shared the eggs Benedict and banana/Nutella French toast. Eggs Benedict was really tasty though the eggs were slightly overdone and one did not run. Side potatoes were delicious (way more effort here than usual diner and brunch sides) and came with fruit on the side. The banana Nutella French toast was also delicious and came with syrup on the side. Too sweet for me as a whole dish but glad to try a slice from my friends plate. The feel of the restaurant is very casual and neighborhoods, with some really unique decor that very boston. I agree w the other yelp review that points similarities to Cheers. Overall glad I came here! Kind of far for me to trek from Cambridge but I would come again if in the area. read more

Frequent visitor to this place, great service and good food. Taco carnitas and pretzels a fantastic. Amanda has been our bartender a few times, she's very very personable, knowledgable and (most importantly) makes great cocktails. Very underrated spot for the games, they have TVs everywhere so you'll be able to get a nice view regardless of where you're sitting. Great neighborhood spot. Highly recommended. read more

Wow first time in Boston and our friends brought us to this place and I hav to say it was the best food I've had in years everything is soooo fresh and very farm to table I would highly recommend the quesadillas spinach and artichoke dip,blackened shrimp w penne pasta and guacamole!!!! read more

Decent early dinner here on a weeknight a few months ago. I want to give it another chance as I'm looking at the menu and they seem to have made some improvements. We ordered a number of small plates to share on our first visit and a few items seemed like frozen foods that came off the US Foods truck and thrown in the oven. Service was good to begin, but tapered off and forgot about us as the restaurant got busier. I like the concept of what they are trying to do and the neighborhood certainly warrants it, so hopefully they can continue to evolve the menu as I unfortunately didn't get that Farm to Table feeling. Is it possible that Playwright (same owner) is sharing food sourcing and hence some of the subpar quality? I'll give it another chance because I live right here and want this to succeed. read more

Wow, I was so excited to hear about a cute new bar with walking distance of my place near the park. Now I'm just disappointed. Came here with friends from the office and we all agreed the only redeeming quality was the somewhat interesting beer list. Food - meh. Mojito - ergh. Service - double ergh. (How does a server not know what Tanqueray is?) Felt like the charcuterie plate came directly from next door (that would be Stop-N-Shop for you non-southie residents). The pretzels were wet (?) on the bottom, no idea why. Definitely won't be going back. read more
