Natick offers a variety of eateries, from fancy to homey to chains. Natick’s best-known restaurant team is Dora Tavel-Sanchez Luz and Gabriel Sanchez Luz, who launched Buttercup in Natick following their success with The Farmhouse in Needham. Fanciness aside, Casey’s Diner is the place to go for steamed hot dogs, burgers, and other diner classics.
A slew of Asian restaurants dot the town, from Tama Sushi & Hibachi on Rte. 9 west to Shanghai Tokyo at the Rte. 135 strip mall to Dah-Mee in Natick Center. There’s even a take-out sushi bar at Roche Bros. grocery store that does a brisk business.
Other restaurants featuring ethnic delights include Italian restaurants such as Comella’s, which has a signature dish called the “Mess,” Agostino’s, and Mexicali Grill, serving authentic Mexican cuisine on the Natick/Wellesley line.
Natick’s densest restaurant rows is Route 9, which in addition to the previously mentioned spots is home to chains such as The Cheesecake Factory, and P.F. Chang’s (all located in the Natick Mall), and more.
Not to be overlooked in town are eateries such as Zaftigs, an authentic Jewish deli that serves all-day breakfast, latkes, loaded sandwiches, and more. Another unique breakfast and lunch spot is Station 5 Grille, a hometown diner that’s been family owned and operated since 2006.
Natick is home to a host of pizza joints as well. These include Bill’s Pizzeria, located in a strip mall just outside of Natick Center; and Liberty’s, an Italian-style pizzeria.
If you’re looking for a cold treat, Natick has a bunch of options, including Park Street Ice Cream, which closes for the winter; Ben & Jerry’s on route 9; and Dairy Queen on N. Main St.
Then there’s always Dunkin’ Donuts, which has no fewer than eight outposts in town, from the Natick Mall to one on West Central St., and one on East Central St.

We asked for an appetizer of bacon and cheddar potato kegs, the adult version of that kid’s-table standby, tater tots. In the 7 South way of reimagining the comfort food, the tots have put on some weight, evolving into crispy, deep-fried grated potato barrels, with bacon bits and scallions, served on top of garlic aioli.
