I've needed two tires repaired in the last couple years, and this is where I took my car. They are courteous, fast, and charge very reasonable prices.

Oh where to start! I have been going to Franco's for the past twenty years. Have tried others, but always end back at Franco's. This family owned restaurant and pub have the greatest employees - friendly, quick, helpful, fun. A great place to hang with your friends in the pub, or bring the whole family to the restaurant side.
The pizza has been voted best in Waltham for the past five years. They have a great assortment of toppings. They even won the best calzones in Waltham as well. Each one is made to order. Nothing can beat their homemade chicken parm. Always made fresh and hot.
When my friends go out, we always end up at Franco's. Their pub dine-in only specials are worth the trip. The have great live bands each week. We also have a great time at the Karaoke nights. The night bartenders are so much fun. Always down to business, but at the same time, they actually converse with their customers. They are a great team and fun to watch. The day bartenders are very nice as well.
One thing that my friends and I probably like the best is the owners. They are always so nice. Not many places have one or more of the owners there all day and all night. The older female is known as Mama. She has been known to go out of her way to make a special something for a customer for a birthday or special event. The older male stays more to the kitchen. Doesn't converse very much. The younger guy though is the best. I think he is there from when they open to when they close every day. He is always talking to the customers. Going back and forth between the restaurant side and bar side. He even does the karaoke once each week. That is the best night to go! How many owners do you know that sing right along with their customers. His kids are great. Then there is his wife. Not sure if she is part owner, but a really nice person. Seems to be there all the time talking to the customers. She does their fundraising nights. Not an event to miss.
Pros: Everything - food, staff, fun!
Cons: Friday nights you may have to a few extra minutes for pizza or calzones since they are so busy.

Everyone at Brandeis when I went to school there a few years ago knew about Cappy?s, which is right at the edge of campus by the commuter rail station. I think all of us have memories of trekking over to Cappy?s or getting takeout from there whenever we got too sick of dining hall food or too stressed out during exams. Their pizzas are smothered in cheese and have very doughy crust. Their individual Mediterranean with feta, olives and tomatoes was always one of my favorites to order, and their subs and fries are equally delicious. In my view, we ?Deis students couldn?t have asked for a better pizza spot next to campus!
Pros: good pizza at affordable prices
Cons: small dining area

A perfect place when looking for a bar where you can just relax with friends and enjoy a good drink. A classy retreat from your average meat market. Decor wise, antique pictures from historic Waltham hang on red walls. The dark wood bar has seats for 12, and has a classic brass railing. Above the bar there is a pair of high def flat screens showing the games of the night.
The knowlegable staff are fast and attentive, serving up your beverage of choice. The specialty drink list ranges from new adeptations on classics like The Lincoln (home infused raspberry vodka martini) to a Charles River (as the menu says: "You don't want to know"), which complements a good selection of beer, wine, and liquor. Food is your standard fare like burgers and hot dogs, but the staff doesn't mind if you bring in something from somewhere else.
Pros: Atmosphere
Cons: Can get crowded later in the night

I find this place to be quite ordinary. The grocery items are not well organized. The quality of items is sub standard. They do sell good rotis though.
They also have fresh vegetables. In the evenings they have some Indian snacks. Parking is a big problem. Almost always you will not be able to park near the shop.

Just Cutz is a small barbershop right near Waltham Square. It's a very friendly place--they have video games for you to play while you get a hair cut. Prices are inexpensive and haircuts are very professional. Once, my friend was not completely satisfied with his haircut and went back later in the day and the manager fixed it and gave him a certificate for a free cut at a later date. Great customer service!

This service station, though a bit of a drive for me, is worth the trip. The mechanics here are friendly, competent and honest... a rare treat in mechanics!
They are happy to work with people who tinker with their own cars (like my boyfriend) and give advice and help. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, and I have never walked away feeling cheated.
I have had horrible luck in the past with mechanics, but now that I have been introduced to this service station I feel my luck has changed.
