Cook - Needham

Amazing place! The food and drinks were fantastic, and the bartender was incredibly friendly and accommodating!

Cook offers a pleasant atmosphere for a casual meal, with its attractive decor, comfortable seating, and nice cutlery and dishes. During our lunch visit, we noticed several families dining there as well. We ordered a Basic Burger and a Mandarin Salad, which is where the experience fell short and prompted us to drop two stars. The burger was cooked perfectly medium, and the fries were hot and tasty. However, the salad was disappointing—it consisted of a few cups of chopped romaine, some red cabbage shreds, a handful of sliced almonds, packaged wontons, and a few orange slices. The dressing was a salty vinaigrette, and there was far too much of it. Given the rising prices everywhere, the burger truly was basic, and the salad felt like a rip-off considering the minimal effort that went into it. The service was satisfactory, and parking is readily available both on the street and in a lot behind the restaurant. It is also handicap accessible, as we saw a patron with a walker come in while we were there. Overall, the seating and menu options are decent for families as well.

The restaurant offers an excellent variety of food and drinks. The staff was very friendly, and they had a kids' menu available. Prices were reasonable, making it a great value. I will definitely return!

Cook's was one of those places that was pretty good to go to once, not sure if I would choose to go again. I didn't particularly enjoy the shrimp bowl I'd ordered, and the drink (which I believe was a mocktail version of something with passion fruit) wasn'ttoo exciting either. However, a lot of my friends really liked the food, and the overall ambiance was pretty good!

Great place! Nice ambiance, love the oven at the center of the action . If you want to support a local business go dine here. Pizza as an appetizer works great, 1 for 2 people is just right. Everything we had was tasty, well cooked andpresented. Service was prompt and friendly.
