Traditions - Kosher restaurant in Lawrence - 302 Central Ave, USA

Was invited there for a Sheva Brochos event. Beautiful setup. Excellent service. Good food. Of course having wonderful hosts and guests helped with the atmosphere as well.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel like a valued customer, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The extensive menu at Traditions caters to a wide range of tastes, making it a perfect choice for both discerning food connoisseurs and those with pickier palates. The culinary journey begins with the famous Big Mouth Burger, a true testament to Traditions' "go big or go home" philosophy. The combination of two all-beef patties, grilled pastrami, and their signature barbecue sauce creates a flavor explosion that is simply irresistible. The recent expansion of the party room is a welcome addition, offering a perfect venue for private events.

I usually love the food here. Tonight I got gumbo chicken soup, it was delicious! I also got southern fried chicken, you can taste the leftover in the chicken, you can taste that it was reheated. Quite disappointed to say the least.

My wife and I love this place. A real institution in the Five Towns. Always welcoming, always a table available. Clean. Fast service. Comfort food. Decent pricing. Order the deli—excellent deli.

Outstanding food and great service. Very good portions. Plenty of complimentary pickles and coleslaw too.

Unparalleled gastronomic delight! Each dish tells a story of culinary craftsmanship. A five-star haven for those who crave a remarkable dining experience.

I would recommend going somewhere else. It was very loud and hard to hear who I was sitting with. I didn’t like the pastrami I had it was extremely salty and kinda slimy. Not completely on them since my friend loved the pastrami. Then I got my food boxed up to go and part of my meal wasn’t included in the container. They also didn’t include the pastrami I took off my sandwich which I was planning to box up for my friend who actually liked it. I guess I should have specified that the food on my plate should have been included but I’ve never had this happen at any other eating establishment I’ve ever been to. Given how pricey everything is, I’m not please that they didn’t include this. Overall would definitely say there are better places for kosher food. What I will say on the positives is that our waiter was fantastic. We were a fairly large group and all of our food came at approximately the same time. He was very attentive and made sure everyone had what they needed.
