MASSACHUSETTS — Welcome to Patch's weekly round up of food and restaurant news in Massachusetts, where we review openings, closings and more in the state's dining scene.

This week, we learned that a growing fast-casual chain is expanding again, including two more restaurants in Massachusetts.

honeygrow has already opened five new restaurants in 2025 and has an additional six planned for the summer, including Shrewsbury and Allston, in addition to spots in Virginia, Ohio and New Jersey.

The new Massachusetts locations are:

“We are incredibly proud of the growth we’ve achieved with the honeygrow brand,” said Justin Rosenberg, Founder and CEO of honeygrow. “We’ve opened 37 locations since 2020 with plans to reach 70 restaurants by year end. It’s a testament to our amazingly focused team, our extremely disciplined real estate approach, and our incredibly loyal guest base.”

At honeygrow, guests can customize their meals with a variety of protein options, including steak, chicken, shrimp, tofu or egg, paired with freshly made egg white noodles, protein-packed whole wheat noodles, gluten-free rice noodles, brown rice or a vegetable base like curly kale or arugula.

With a wide selection of sauces, dressings, and toppings, such as vegetables, fruits, cheeses and roasted garlic, every dish can be tailored to personal taste.

For dessert, honeygrow offers its signature honeybar, a dish loaded with fresh fruit, a variety of sweet toppings and drizzled with one of three honeys.
