The Burren is Davis Square's popular Irish pub. It's a nice place to stop for drinks, and if you want a snack, order the curry fries. Several friends have opined to me recently that their food is not what it used to be, but I still enjoy their beef stew. Tends to get rather loud on weekend evenings.
Dragon Garden chinese, the place with the neon moon and bunny in the window, is my preferred chinese fast food place in Davis. It's not gourmet chinese food, but if you want chinese fast food, cheap-ish, and you're there, it's always respectable. The ambiance is kind of a zero however.
Taipei Tokyo, across the street from the theater, offers a mix of chinese, japanese, and thai food. The chinese food is very nice, somewhat better than Dragon Garden and somewhat more expensive to match. I am unimpressed with their sushi - it's edible, but not as good as the sushi from any of the nearby sushi restaurants. I haven't tried their thai dishes.
JP Licks ice cream is in the middle of the square and is always tasty.
Rosebud diner is... well, it's a diner. With full bar, for some reason. Order something you'd expect to order at a diner, and they'll probably do a really good job of delivering to you what you'd expect to get at a diner. They have really huge BLTs, and service with a smile. (Damn, now I want a BLT.)
