MISSION STATEMENT Almost 50 years ago, we had an idea. Well, actually, our stomachs had an idea. And that was to make the best sandwiches with the highest-quality ingredients possible. Sounds crazy, huh, taking advice from our stomachs? Well you know what crazy is? Crazy is settling for some soggy, microwaved sandwich when you can have something so much better. That’s why we opened up our first D’Angelo in Dedham back in 1967. We wanted to make food that we, and our stomachs, could be proud of. And over the last 45 years, plenty of other people have decided to let their stomachs think for them as well. It’s because of our guests and their smart stomachs that we’ve been able to expand all over New England. Now you can find D’Angelo Grilled Sandwiches from Maine to Connecticut, in major sports and entertainment venues, on college campuses, near your business, and even in school cafeterias during lunchtime…pretty much anywhere people appreciate quality food. So next time you’re thinking about grabbing a bite, take a second to think about it with your stomach. Our guess is we’ll see you shortly after that…and we’ll be waiting!

Legal Sea Foods began in 1950 as a fish market in the Inman Square neighborhood of Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s here that the “Legal” name became synonymous with quality and freshness. In 1968, our first seafood restaurant opened, right next to the fish market. The fish was simply prepared, either broiled or fried, and served on paper plates at communal picnic tables. Despite the low-key trappings, the food was second to none and word quickly spread. This early success led to further expansion and now, six decades later with restaurants along the Eastern Seaboard, the commitment to freshness and quality endures: "If it isn't fresh, it isn't Legal!”

There was no shortage of restaurants when Not Your Average Joe’s first opened in 1994. There was, however, a shortage of great restaurants with reasonable prices in the suburbs. Tired of driving too far and paying too much, Steve Silverstein decided to build the restaurant he was longing for. The name Not Your Average Joe’s came out of Steve’s determination to avoid the run-of-the-mill-restaurant rut. Today, Not Your Average Joe’s boast 25 locations from Nashua, NH to Woodbridge, VA, satisfying a seemingly limitless hunger for creative casual cuisine.
