We came here tonight and had such a great experience. Sean Hopkins was our waiter, and he was incredibly attentive, personable, and shared some great stories with us. Honestly, with how on top of everything he was, we thought he owned the place! And it was only his 5th day!
The food was fresh, the drinks were strong, and the overall vibe was fantastic. Sean truly elevated the entire experience and made the night even better. We’ll definitely be back. This stop is great on its own, even more convenient it’s on the way back to Boston for us!

Wowser! What a great way to end a day in Boston. Right at the Newburyport rail in a super cool converted train station. Service was outstanding and the food was really good. Cubano and Taco hit the spot. Nice beer selection and of course margaritas. Can’t wait to hit this spot again on my next commuter rail trip to Boston!

So glad to be back here again! My partner and I had lunch that was very enjoyable! To start we had their sweet potato fries along with a fall sangria and peach rumonada. Our main dishes were the pork belly tacos along with the birria ramen. We also had the repo nitro margarita. Everything was delicious, made fresh, and overall lovely! The interior space was really nice with all the brick and this cool little model replicating the station and metzys building!

Had a great experience here, the atmosphere and food were great. With the very large screen, it feels like a fusion between a Mexican restaurant and a sports bar, which is a great vibe! We ordered a couple things, but would most recommend the nachos, empanadas and of course the strawberry margaritas. We’ll be back!

I was part of a large group that attended a little amigos lunch. It was a family event that included crafts, a movie, lunch and a visit with Santa. The kids had fun making ornaments and watching Rudolph. The food and drinks were excellent. I got a crunch wrap that they made vegetarian for me. Chips and salsa were a perfect blend of salted crispy chips and slightly smoky salsa. The kids all got a dish of ice cream with a churro which was yummy. Service was friendly and very organized (serving a large group). A good time was had by all!

We had a great time at Metzys. Shannon and Tyler took very good care of us and the food was fantastic! Plenty of seating and tons of parking. Plus it’s perfect for commuters who want a quick bite. I love this place and we’ll definitely be back.

We just ate here and holy crap – the birria tacos I just had were life changing. Best tacos of my entire life. I’m visiting from out of state and will dream of those tacos forever. We also got the nachos and they were top tier – some of the best. Margarita was good. Classic. The service was excellent and friendly and kind. I feel lucky I was able to have this meal.

I came here after getting off the commuter rail and wasn’t disappointed! Erin was my server and she was absolutely fantastic and was extremely personable and kind! I got the chips and guac and the dry rub and Thai wings. The food was flavorful, I loved the chips that came with the guac. I highly recommend this place!

Had the sliders special today and they were
Almost like a chef made an upscale Big Mac… toasted buns, fried pickles, perfect pink patty… etc…
I appreciate some variety and simple items done well.

Domenic is an outstanding bartender and server. Metzy’s is the go-to spot for high-quality food and drinks. Its location just outside of downtown gives it a unique and relaxed vibe. The prices are reasonable, especially compared to downtown options. It’s also the perfect spot to grab a bite before catching the train. My wife and I love dining in at the restaurant and often grab takeout during the week.
