We got takeout from Tempo in Waltham. We wanted to support a local place, and they have been doing lots of good work providing lunches for essential workers and other community work. Overall, the food was quite good. We started with clam chowder and a pear/gorgonzola salad. My husband loved his boneless bbq-sauced short ribs, which were very tender and flavorful. My Statler chicken was a bit dry, but the accompanying fettuccine with pesto and spinach held up well and was quite tasty. My son’s mushroom risotto was fine considering risotto isn’t usually a great takeout option. A side of roasted Brussels sprouts had lots of flavor, and a family-style strawberry, rhubarb and apple crisp rounded things out nicely. In general the non-veggie menu is surprisingly large and varied, pickup was easy and it felt good to leave a sizable tip for staff.
