The Knotty Pine is a tiny, hole in the wall, kind of place about a 2 minute drive from my office. I had heard students and other staff members talk about it, but never went myself. Finally one day last year, my co-worker decided we had to go. Now, we make it a point to get there at least once a month.
look at it! it has to be good.
The Knotty Pine has been around for what feels like forever and feeds locals and businessmen alike every day. There is nothing special about this place, and that’s what makes it great. No nonsense burgers, sandwiches, fries, and homemade pies make lunch quick and cheap. Everything on the menu is under $7 (except one item, the Cheeseburger Club which is $7.25). The staff is awesome, always joking with customers and going the extra step to make people happy. Booths are reserved for parties of 2 or more, which is great during the busy lunch hour.
no muss, no fuss
We went to celebrate the birthday of my co-worker (same one who first got us to go to the Knotty Pine) and she got what she always gets, a cheeseburger and fries. For about $6, you can’t beat it.
happiest Jenny ever.
burger with lettuce, tomato, and pickles. and crinkle cut fries!
turkey club. and crinkle cut fries!
And possibly the best part of this meal was that I asked for pickles on my burger, and this is what I got.
so. many. pickles.
Those awesome Knotty Piners. Always making my day so happy. If you’re in the Newton area around breakfast or lunch time, stop by the Knotty Pine. The meals are far from gourmet, but will hit the spot when you’re looking for some simple and delicious. We love you Knotty Pine!

Love your entry!! I can’t wait to go again this week! I love the Knotty Pine and love the term Knotty Piners!!
Jenny, you are the epitome of a Knotty Piner! Can’t wait for lunch this week
Great stop for anyone from Lasell! Lasell students past and present wait there, the staff is phenomenally kind and the owners treat the staff very well also which is good to know. It’s owned by two brothers who are always there and their mother, who still waits a few days a week.
Lunch is good, but you NEED to go there for breakfast!
I’ve heard great things about breakfast, but something tells me I’ll never be up early enough to get there before work. It’ll have to be lunch for me!
They serve breakfast until pretty late, take a 10:30 breakfast break and get down there
– worth it.
