I rarely leave reviews, but I had to for this. I ordered the filet mignon with caramelized onions, green beans, and a twice-baked potato. This meal was a 10/10 and cooked to perfection! No offense to the "other" restaurant in the area... but Tomahawk is officially our NEW go-to steakhouse!

My hudband and I found Out of the Woods as we were on our way to a concert & decided to check it out. Now we can't wait to go back! The best food that we've had in greater Boston, including Boston itself, and the best duck I've had since living in New Orleans back in 2003. Highly recommend!

    Tuesday is $1 shrimp and oysters so that was an amazing start to the meal. Love their kale salad with salmon and they did not disappoint! Also had a slice of the traditional pizza with pepperoni and sausage and enjoyed that as well. It was pretty loud in there but it didn’t bother my group. Service was great!
