Daddy Jones is a cozy, stylish spot in Magoun Square that blends retro vibes with delicious Greek small plates and classic cocktails, perfect for outdoor dining.
"Somerville’s cozy Daddy Jones serves spanakopita, lamb burgers, gyros, and other Greek on a colorful and sunny Magoun Square patio. The lounge-style space is walk-in only, so get there early, or be ready to wait." - Tanya Edwards
"Daddy Jones’s mostly Greek menu has plenty to explore in the gyro and skewers department, but don’t ignore the excellent burgers. There’s several options, but here’s a very good starting point: the Athena burger, made with a lamb patty stuffed with feta and herbs, red pepper feta and American cheese on top, bacon, and a fig jam all smushed between two halves of an English muffin." - Celina Colby, Eater Staff
"Daddy Jones, a Greek-themed restaurant and cocktail bar, has been in Magoun Square since 2012. Owner Dimitra Murphy is a Somerville native and her Greek roots inspired her to feature an extensive menu of popular Greek dishes like tzatziki and gyros." - Valerie Li Stack
"Somerville’s Daddy Jones will not require staff — who are all vaccinated — to wear masks, says owner Dimitra Murphy, but the restaurant isn’t reopening for indoor dining yet. 'We trusted the science to shut down, and now we have to trust the science to reopen,' Murphy says. In addition to keeping all dining outdoors, Daddy Jones also sees less interaction between customers and staff than in pre-pandemic times, thanks to a switch to online ordering; it’s essentially a counter-service restaurant now." - Terrence Doyle
"Daddy Jones is shutting down its takeout service from December through March, continuing to offer catering, holiday trays, meal kits, and merchandise." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
