Family owned business and has been around for many years. The steak tips and salad are excellent which is what it is known for. The sausage is good. The Italian food is good. The prices range between $10-$18. The staff is very friendly and the owner is hands on. The decor inside is bar & grill, nothing fancy. If possible... More

We have been going here for over 20 years. The food is always good and staff pleasant.The FISH is my favorite they do it excellent. Just make sure you have CASH thats all they except and there is no coffee or dessert if you like that.

Steak, Lamb, Turkey tips all incredible - sausage also good. Local feel - regulars at the bar. Can also order from the "butcher shop" and take home meat to cook on your own grill.

Unbelievably delicious steak tips and salad combo! The service was excellent and the food was very reasonable. The steak tips were very tender and flavorful. I found the atmosphere to be your typical neighborhood restaurant, friendly, inviting and comfortable. It's not dining at the Ritz but the service and food is superb! Look forward to returning again. Very unexpected and... More

I went to the New Bridge Cafe the other night with family. Let me just say that the food there is consistently wonderful. My husband got the combo with steak tips (medium) and turkey tips. The tips were cooked perfectly, juicy and the marinade was flavorful. My daughter got the country style ribs and again they were cooked perfectly. Now... More

Recently dined at the New Bridge Cafe in Chelsea for the second time. Have not been disappointed either time. They quite possibly have the best tips in town -- steak, lamb, pork. Tender cuts of meat, great sauce, perfectly cooked. They come with a choice of rice pilaf -- also very good -- or their fries. Bring along a large... More

The waitress was very helpful. We got our wives dishes to go and after paying for the meal headed to the... More

Every time I travel to the Boston area from Canada, the Newbridge Cafe is on my "places to go" list and I've never been disappointed! The Steak Tips are my favourite, but I've tried the Turkey Tips and Pork Tips and found them very tasty as well....plus the biggest fries I've ever seen!

Food was burnt and cold. Way Overpriced for the quality. Bar was full of drunks, and waitress staff looked like they were on oxycontin. I will certainly go to my usual spot Floramos for now on.
