Moe's prices are the best thing. It's very inexpensive and the portions are large - so large that if you're a light lunch or dinner eater, you might want to share with a friend, or bring some home to warm up the next day.
Framingham residents, don't be surprised when you venture into Moe's Southwest Grill on Route 9 east in Natick. The staff does that to everybody. (I won't spoil the surprise. It's a little bit of fun on a humdrum day.) Moe's is one of the new cafeteria style restaurants where you order burritos, salads, tacos or whatever's your pleasure and the counter people make it right in front of you, so you can say what you want on your Billy Ballou and how much. What that has to do with nachos covered with everything but the kitchen sink, I don't know. Moe's prices are the best thing.

Treat yourself to brunch this weekend at Gourmet Decisions Cafe & Grill.
Sometimes the best way to unwind after a long, stressful week is to enjoy a leisurely weekend morning at brunch. At Gourmet Decisions Cafe & Grill, brunch is as much about the food as it is about the ritual: Catching up with friends and indulging in dishes more decadent than your usual bowl of Special K. Casually sip a cup of the full-bodied house coffee while devouring the Tuscan toast (French toast stuffed with sautéed apples, mascarpone cheese, cinnamon and spice), or perhaps try one of their many omelets. The café is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Whether you are an early riser or don’t believe the morning starts till noon on weekends, you can still catch a cup of joe and quality food. Check out their Web site to …

Allora is not your run of the mill sandwich shop or eatery. This is an upscale restaurant serving Mediterranean and Italian dishes. Although the lunch menu won’t break the bank (sandwiches range from $8 - $14), many would see dinner at Allora as something reserved for special occasions and events (main entrees range from $18 - $42). The dilemma here is that each dish sounds as intoxicating as the next. Kick off the meal with the tender Sicilian Fried Calamari, followed by chianti braised beef shortribs, which are served over butternut sage risotto with broccoli rapini. Allora is currently taking reservations for Valentine's Day weekend, for which it has developed a mouth-watering menu for this special day, along with a jazz band on Feb. …
