"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
"This Greek-themed restaurant and cocktail bar, in Magoun Square since 2012 under owner Dimitra Murphy, leans on the owner’s Greek roots with an extensive menu of classic dishes like tzatziki and gyros and a drink list that includes distinctly Greek options such as ouzo, masticha, and Greek orange wine." - Valerie Li Stack
"At Daddy Jones in Somerville, owner Dimitra Murphy said staff—who are all vaccinated—will not be required to wear masks, but the restaurant is not reopening indoor dining yet: service will remain outdoors and operate more like a counter-service place with online ordering." - Terrence Doyle
"Daddy Jones in Magoun Square suspended takeout service for December through March, describing this as their slow season and saying they needed to rest mentally and financially so they could return strong for patio season, while continuing catering, meal kits, and merch options." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
