Echo Bridge Restaurant & Cafe

We had to take a detour on our way home due to construction one day and passed by Echo. We made it our mission to come back that way and try it out and I am so glad we did!! The food was so comforting and the everyone there was so nice. Our server Ernesto took great care of us and had great suggestions.

I am giving Echo Bridge 5’s primarily for hitting me in the feels. Haven’t been here since I was a little kid. Echo Bridge has not changed much since my last trip years ago. If you are looking for fancy or modern, likely not your place. But if you are looking for the crowd who prefers Dunkin, here you go. Echo Bridge has been in business since 1962. It’s located across street from Hemlock Reservation where the Echo Bridge over Charles River is located. The falls were running strong yesterday. Food is primarily Italian & they also have American fare (burgers, fries, ..). I had pizza which was huge & loaded with toppings. My husband had a burger which he rates excellent . Drinks are real good & fairly priced. For metro west Boston area prices are lowish. Our waitress was very kind & doing her best. Unfortunately she was only waitress on in dining room on Saturday night. What most amazed me at Echo Bridge is no one had their cell phone’s out. Felt like a diner crowd with all shapes, ages, & sizes. People were talking, laughing. Hope they are able to get right staffed soon. Dietary restrictions: No gluten free or gluten free as a preference Parking: We arrived early for dinner & found spot on street. Note, there is parking behind restaurant. Theirs is a busy city/ suburban neighborhood

Takeout order. They got order wrong....did not give us what we ordered. The food we got was mediocre.

Food so so.

I used to hold this place in high esteem. Tonight, it was beyond atrocious. If I could give it negative stars, I would. Echo Bridge has jumped the shark.

The food is good but basic. There are a lot of choices of typical bar-food. They have Trivia a few nights a week, which is a lot of fun. The drinks are fairly priced. A fun place to meet friends
