The James Pub, Needham

Absolutely incredible. One of the bests Sunday Roasts out there - even compared to those in the UK. Generous portions of meat, perfectly roasted veggies, crispy potatoes, and a perfectly baked Yorkshire pudding. Interior is cozy, warm, and super inviting. Made me feel like I was back in London. Wonderful place.

A Hidden Gem in Needham We experienced the pleasure of lunch at The James, an exquisite smaller Nouveau American restaurant in Needham Square, on November 26. I didn’t count the seating, but it can’t be more than about 40. The menu fits on one side of a page yet is satisfactorily varied. My wife had an exquisitely dressed burger with fries, cooked perfectly to her request. I had the “sausage sando” which is a medium sized sausage sub garnished with cooked onion and other condiments and which, to my surprise, didn’t leak or fall apart. I would order this again. The fries were perfectly cooked, as good as any I’ve ever had. We didn’t order drinks but they had a comprehensive cocktail menu. The staff was great: intelligent, courteous and pleasant, and service is prompt. Reservations

Decent beer, awkward staff. Burger could have been better had it been less greasy. Too much mayo inside and around the bun (change your glove). Small menu options. Small, cozy spot for a friend meet up or coworker, not a date spot.

Excellent food and service! We were looking for a new place to try and chanced upon this little gem on their first day of service for weekday lunch. Highly recommend the roasted carrot- the sauce is out of this world. The fish and chips, sausage roll, garlic hummus, and cheesecake were all quite tasty. It felt much elevated versus a local greasy pub.

Cute little place. Drink menu is impressive only if you knew what 1/2 the ingredients are in some of the drinks. Ordered a standard margarita it was delicious, not too sweet. Ordered chicken wings, marinated olives & lamb lollipops. Chicken wings standard. Crispy. Dipping sauce was a nice add. Marinated olives would be better if they were pitted. The lamb lollipops were the show stopper! Delicious! Cooked perfectly. Great taste! They should just up the price to $27.00 and offer 4. Instead of unchanging additional $7.00 for one more for 2 people. Would go back for more lamb lollipops!!!
