Restaurants near Newington Junction South Historic District

One of our favorite places, large eclectic menu which usually signals trouble , but not here! The best wings around, great salads, sandwiches. I have never been disappointed at the Monkey. It is very popular and crowded and the noise level can be high. Weekends there is music in the bar and sometimes its a little too loud, the acoustics aren't great but the service and food make up for it. Kathy the bartender is outstanding!

Probably the best meal I’ve had. The steak (Prime Dry-aged Ribeye) was perfect! The sides were great. Service was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

the amount of food for the price is excellent, the bowles look a little small but are super filling which makes it worth it. Everyone seems to have a good time, it is a little louder because of so many people plus the music but overall an amazing place. 10/10 recommend, especially for anniversary dates!

I took my mother here for a late Christmas dinner. It was a first time for either of us going to a Brazilian style steakhouse like this and the food and the service were both spectacular. Our server was very attentive and engaging. It's definitely something I would do again.

I used to go to Max's Oyster Bar often in the late 90's when I lived and worked in the area. I have since moved to Boston and then Maine but was able to go to Max's for lunch while visiting family over Christmas 2024. My husband and I were blown away by the menu, the food, the service, the ambiance, and the prices. We got the seafood tower plus some extra oysters and it was fantastic and a much better value than those we have ordered in Maine! Everything else on the menu looked creative and delicious and the prices were very reasonable. Matt, our server, was excellent; very knowledgable and very friendly. What a fantastic lunch. We will be back ASAP.
