What a find! Played a little Unilocal roulette and found this gem. Despite the somewhat divey vibes this place gives off from the outside, the food is delish, and Monday thru Wednesday they have a three course special with an app, entrée, and dessert of your choice for $ 15. Their steak tips and mashed potatoes hit the spot and their house balsamic was favorite. Our bartender Laureen was a sweetheart AND they have keno, what more does a girl need. I would gladly go back again.

I’ve had pasta selections both times I’ve eaten here and I was pleased with the taste, overall quality, portion size selection(small or regualr), and the value. They’ve recently done some dinning room remodeling and I think they also switched to a better coffee. I’m a fan!

Ive eaten there a few times with friends and family. Food is pretty good. Portions are good sized. I have had their burgers, steak tips, lobster ravioli, and their pizza, which were all good. Mostly recommend their steak tips. One time I got their homemade mac n’ cheese and I was not a fan. Very dry. They have a lot to choose from on their menu and I try and get different things when I do go there. Its pretty clean in there and bar is pretty nice. Parking stinks, especially if it is a busy time, but its Norwood St what do you expect lol. Just depends on what time of day it is. There’s a few different ways you can park. There is a parking lot directly across from them, another lot just a little bit down the street across from the MGH, and you can try and find an available spot on Norwood St. Overall the place is good.

Hidden gem just outside of Everett, Sq. Equal or better than any Italian dish or Pizza you would get in Downtown Boston without the parking issues… I“m baffled and relieved everytime I go that I don’t have to wait in line to get in…

Food is good. However, they have a difficult time making even the smallest changes to their menu. God forbid you would prefer your sandwich on a different type of bread… apparently they don’t know how to do that & won’t accommodate you.

I just finished eating my take out order from here not too long ago. Let me first say, I have eaten at high end and low end restaurants, and the most important thing for me is the food tastes delicious. Things like appearance, texture, etc come into play but delicious food is delicious food. I ordered a chocolate cake with raspberry sauce and whipped cream, a side order of fries and a steak tip salad and it came to a little over $ 26. To me, that is expensive considering the quality of food is subpar. The steak tips were very bland, the salad itself was watery iceberg that looked like it was pulled apart sloppily and placed in the tray. Even the salad dressing was nothing special. The fries were slightly over-cooked and soggy. The saving grace was the cake which was good but nothing extraordinary and $ 8.00 which is expensive for pub food. In fact, the cake was improperly delivered, the whip cream already melted as they didn’t place the whip cream in a separate container. Overall, just over-priced for what you actually get. I will NOT be ordering for from this place again.

The food is amazing, and I’ve never seen so much on a plate! That being said, I always take my girlfriend to their bar. And the male bartender(only one male one I’ve seen) completely ignores men. Every time he goes to my date, asks her about her food, gets her drink and doesn’t even look at me. The food is incredible, but do NOT sit at the bar unless you’re an attractive female.

went last week. I always sit at the bar. have a couple of drinks, dinner and keno. If you go all the time you know things you like and don’t like. Everett doesn’t have many places for nice dinner. the food is good. Salad are so good. they do a great salad. the wings are always good. I had pork chop dinner very good. I had steak tip dinner it’s okay not great. price is high for neighborhood spot for steak tips. American chop suey is fantastic. fish and chips on Friday is so good but no onion rings. Cheese burger very good. Eggplant parm a little soggy for me. chicken parm is good not great. turkey dinner is very is very good. They now have veal parm and going to try that soon. Billy the bartender is always so nice and does such a great job and remembers what you drink. I love the music. i think this place is just a great great neighborhood place. it is worth the try. people are always nice. service is always good and food is good not a 10 but not less than 8.

We decided to try this place out on recommendation of a friend. We were very pleased! First of all, it looks so different than what you see outside. Give it a try! Secondly, the waitress, Hope, was great! She was attentive, helpful and had a great sense of humor. She answered all my ridiculous questions without issue. We felt very comfortable and welcome for first timers. The food was delicious! The Portions on pasta dishes is RIDICULOUS(: in a great way). Pizza is thin crust and tastes great. The marinara sauce has a great flavor. Loved it! Everything was reasonably priced. Everything was fresh and tasty. The fresh rolls were warm and yummy! I only wish we had more!!!(And had a side of sauce to dunk it in! I highly recommend giving 8⁄10 a try. We WILLBEBACK very soon but until then… THEYDELIVER!

My cousin took my Myself and my daughter to 8 n 10 Bar n Grill to have dinner her for her 17th Birthday. The food was great my daughter had the Shrimp Scampi, which was excellent lots of pasta, plenty of shrimp, and a great sauce. Her Boyfriend had the meat sauce, with 2meatballs, plenty of pasta the meat sauce had lots of meat, and the meatballs were excellent. My cosin had a roast turkey sandwhich. There was enough turkey for 3 sandwiches and she said it was sooo moist. At the end of the meal the waitress kindly brought out the cakes I had bought with candles lit like I kindly asked her to. The prices are very reasonable. The portions were huge and the quality of the food was excellent. .highly recommend eating here. Cant wait to go back.

The food was good, the drinks are strong, the place is nice on the inside, but I just did not feel welcomed there. When I asked them if they could put the Sox game on at the bar they only half way tried to look for it and the manager(I think) was like oh I think it’s on later. Some other people show up, older/white, talking about wanting to see the game and all of a sudden they find a way. The bartender didn’t do anything wrong helping me but she seemed eager to get me out of there so yeah I won’t be coming back.

I was eager to try this place after reading the reviews. It was terrible. I got the steak tips(dry with a disgustingly sweet sauce), the mashed potatoes(bland) and the spinach(greasy and bitter). My husband got the pasta and eggplant parm, which was marginal at best — it wasn’t great, mind you, it just wasn’t offensive. And then there was the crab cake… Oh my god, it was a crime — it looked like a ball of deep fried tunafish and tasted like cat food. Sadly, my pets ate most of this meal tonight. Hugely disappointed.

Great little neighborhood spot. Looks like a total dive on the outside, but has a really nice wooden bar, and simple décor with tables with checker cloth on the inside. They have a great staff friendly waitresses and bartenders. I been told if I follow them on twitter they put their specials and other things on there. I brought my little brother here for a early birthday dinner last weekend. As always the staff was friendly and efficient. They have great customer service. The burgers are amazingly good. My two favorite is the and the blue cheese burger, those things are monsters good luck trying to finish it(I’ll post a pic), and my brothers favorite the 8⁄10 burger, bacon, BBQ sauce, and caramelized onions. The sweet potato fries are great and additive and I only end up having a few. I actually never had a cocktail here, since I tend to carry out, and been here for lunch. They also have awesome pizzas. I plan to try their pasta dishes just haven’t gotten around to it yet. My only compliant is I ordered out for the wings and they tough and undercooked. I was waiting a bit for my food so I don’t know if they rushed or what. That has been my only compliment about them and I eaten here multiple times. Also love that they are very affordable.

There is a shortage of restaurants close to my office and 8⁄10 Bar & Grille is one of the few that is actually on my very short list. That’s a compliment in case you are confused. My GFs and I only ordered pizza on the 4 – 5 occasions we ate here. They make awesome pizzas! We tried the Athena, Vegetarian(white), WBZ’s Jordan Rich’ Shrimp Scampi, The Dick Syatt’ Eggplant and we made our own a few times. The crust is thin and the toppings are amazing. The service is fabulous. We had a very funny waitress today. Hope she was happy with our tip. We liked her a lot.

My friend I came here after we went to a wake in the area, we came just a drink and some appetizers. I have not been in this neighborhood since I lived here in the 90’s. Gawd! I wish this place was here when I lived here! On the outside it looks like a seedy sports bar but inside was a quant Italian restaurant. I love that they serve Moscato wine, not a lot of placed do. So 2 glasses later… For our appetizers we got: Meatball Parm Sliders; $ 8.25 Four homemade Meatballs topped with provolone cheese and marinara sauce. and Mozzarella en Carrozza; $ 6.50 Mozzarella stuffed with Prosciutto di Parma, fresh basil, breaded & baked with olive oil, served over warm marinara. I would love to come in for dinner if we are ever in the area again, the prices seem reasonable & the plates of food at the other tables looked so good!

This is one review I’ve been looking forward to writing. I first learned about 8⁄10 Bar & Grille at the FOX25 ZipTrip on a Fri morn in downtown Everett. After talking to the owner, Rich Sasso, I told him I’d probably check out the restaurant«sooner rather than later.» Well, my brother just came in from out of town and I took both he, and my mother there, less than a few hours later, and I’m glad I did. Now, I write this review, and give it 5 stars, not as an aficionado of «fine Italian dining» but, simply, as a guy who likes Italian food and has eaten at a LOT of restaurants in a LOT of different places. 1. While the 8⁄10 is ironically ensconced between 3 – 4 taquerias, the outside will fade away the moment you step inside. While not large, it makes good use of its space. It avoids the fake Italian decorations that try to make you think you’re in Italy. Instead, you’ll find a pleasant assortment of Sinatra/Rat Pack era photos gracing the walls with Sinatra music playing in the background. 2. While not a drinker, I know a good, well-stocked bar when I see one. It’s a long bar, too, with 3TV’s and, at present, the kind of bartender who seems glad to see you there and makes sure you know you’re welcome back. Whether it was a coincidence, or not, the owner was there, as well and, coming from a family business, that’s a big plus to me, as well. 3. The menu is full of all kinds of options and, for a very reasonable price, portions are large. They even have a separate«wing menu» with wing creations like«Parmesan & Garlic» and«Hawaiian.» The sauce on the fried artichokes was a little too lemony for my taste but that can always be adjusted. Otherwise, we had a great late lunch and found it so pleasurable we stayed 3 hours(only because it wasn’t full at that time ;)) As for dessert, stay tuned! 4. The waitress was pleasant and very accomodating, the owner and bartender friendly, the prices and portions were excellent and the food was delicious. What more can you ask for? Valet Parking? Fend for yourself! ;)
