I was going to the Old South Church for a show in the evening. I have also been wanting to try the new 7" street burger since they opened a couple months back so it worked out that they were walking distance from each other. It is located in a nice, brick building right on Newbury Street. The door on the left is the main entrance, leading straight to the registers. Their menu is short and simple, which makes ordering quick. My family and I each got a double cheeseburger and shared two orders of fries. We got regular fries not realizing they had loaded fries as an option. They have soda in glass bottles, but also regular aluminum cans, and water. They have house sauce but it is $1 more for each small container. There is ketchup for free. After placing our order, we tried securing a table and waited for them to call my name for the order. Although there are tables outside, they are not for 7th street, but rather the restaurant downstairs. The only option left was the counter and bar style chairs facing a large window, but it was nice because it looked out to Newbury street and I love people watching while eating. The burgers are a little greasy, but the patties are smashed well, cooked perfectly, cheese is very melted, and onions are finely chopped and soft. The fries were okay, but I really do wish I had ordered them with something on top, or the sauce came in a bigger container to be enough for the order. read more

I got the single burger with fries, and the burger was... okay. Not the best, not the worst, but a really normal smashburger that you could find in pretty much any city. The patty was crispy but not crispy enough, the buns were okay, and the seasoned fries are decent, but small and probably not worth the $4.50 I paid for it. Overall this place is just a really average place with standard food and decent service. It was pretty fast and they had a lot of seating available. I would come back if it were convenient and there weren't better options in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it and I think In 'N Out is better. read more

7th street burger is a solid place. The waits are a little longer, but you know when the lines are long and they will tell you, it's not a surprise. Got a single cheeseburger and a friend got a double cheeseburger. Taste is great. They got his order wrong but they were kind about fixing it. There's a few standing only counter tops and a few booths. Don't count on getting a booth, we got lucky finding a countertop. Would go again, just can't be on a time crunch. read more

Tried this place after seeing a lot of hype about it. It was honestly delicious. I love that the burgers come with sauce, pickles, and grilled onions. Pretty cheap too. Two burgers and fries came out to around 20$. Menu only has 3 things. Bun was buttery and soft. Meat was also really soft but crispy edges. Really good late night meal or lunch. Burgers weren't too heavy either or overly greasy. We waited about 15-20 minutes. Came around 2:00 on a Monday and all the tables were full so I can imagine it's very busy at night and on weekends. Ambiance is really cute. Booths and some high top seats. If you want a good and inexpensive burger would definitely recommend coming here. read more

Portion is way too small for the price. My friend is very petite and even she felt offended by the burger size. The patty itself was also quite thin. Loaded fries were delicious but again the value was not great. Overall, taste is great but you can get same quality elsewhere for less. read more

7th Street Burger Newbury - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Never heard of this chain before, but I guess it's nyc's version of In-N-Out. It's quite good! Tried their burger (I found it funny that they only add one individual pickle per burger), and their loaded fries (similar to animal fries but they add a lot of burger meat--probably more calories than the burger itself). Wait time is crazy. It's like 20-30 minutes per order. If you have the time, I'd say do it! Seating is limited at certain times of the day. Came once in the afternoon and we shared a table with strangers. Came another time before closing, and there were a few tables open. When busy, the line extends outside on the sidewalk. Not sure how long the hype will last, but overall, if I have time to waste and I'm feeling patient, would come through again read more

New burger joint on the block and it was no miss despite the reviews for this location! I will say if I were to only judge the fries I would pass on dining in. They gave us a ball park style fry and you can surely tell it was fried in canola oil. As for the burger it satisfied the smash craving. We have had tons of smash burgers and this one does not place but it will do the trick! If you're in the area snag yourself a double! Service was great and the cashier was very kind! It must of been mutual feeling since we noticed on the recipe that our sauce was comped for "acts of kindness". That was a GREAT DETAIL and more of reason to post a positive review! Loved the vibe inside and whoever was DJ we appreciated the R&B hits! It was a vibe read more

7th street totally lived up to the hype in my opinion as a great casual spot for a late night bite! The classic smash burger was crisp, juicy, and i loveddd the signature 7th street sauce. I also appreciated that it was only 6.50 for a quality cheeseburger - not very often you find that in boston! I also got the loaded fries which i LOVED - a bit more on the expensive side ($12) but worth it. They were loaded with onions, SPICY jalapenos, and cheese! Service was nice! Worth a try. read more

7th Street Burger Newbury - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Welcome to Boston 7th Street Burger! It's open for late night burgers right in the heart of Back Bay, on Newbury Street. We went right before closing and the place was PACKED. We ordered and after I paid was told 30 minute wait, yikes. It ended up being longer. From the looks of it they make burgers in batches but for some reason were behind. I figured it's new so I'll give it some grace. We ended up waiting almost an hour for two double cheeseburgers and fries. Their menu is simple, a single or double smashburger, fries, and drinks. I think you can customize your items like get loaded fries but they don't advertise it on the menu from what I saw. You can also substitute for vegan or vegetarian patties. The food itself was good. The burger was tasty, super greasy but good. I liked the grilled onions on it and the sauce. The crispy fries too were good, were a little cold but I think from the waiting. It's simple and straightforward, which makes it old-fashioned feeling. No over the top menu, and reasonable prices. I'm giving it some grace as I think there are some operational kinks to work out, but I'd be curious to come back after a little while and see how it's doing then. I do think this is a good addition to Newbury St, and the Southie location will open in just a few short days, April 6, 2026! Also beware google says it closes at midnight but they were turning people away at 11pm. read more

I was worried about the wait after seeing the reviews, but the food came out pretty quickly (within 15 mins of ordering). I enjoyed the food and would come back if there wasn't a long wait! read more

7th Street Burger Newbury - Spread - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The double is grease overload. The wrapper around the burger was completely soaked with grease. I felt gross just picking it up. Get the single; it's less greasy. Smashburgers were very average. Not crispy enough and missing some depth of flavor. For $4.50, they are very stingy on the fries. Barely got anything in our container. They are seasoned and very tasty, though. House sauce was decent as well. If it weren't for the fries, I would rate this place a 2/5. We came for Saturday lunch and it appears there's no wait anymore. Plenty of seating. Tl;dr Burg & Shaw is much better than here. read more

The burger was a standard smash burger & fries as well. Service was quick and easy. The price wasn't worth the burger and fries. Overall I probably wouldn't recommend. read more

I'm rating the food...which I thought the burger and fries were very good. Their system of ordering and pickup is absolutely horrible. They need to have an ordering area and a separate pickup spot. We had to fight for a table. Recommendations: go at an off time, try to find a seat while you wait. They also need to move the boxes of food/beverages in the front area so people can stand to wait for their orders. Delicious burger though! read more

This place is super hyped up, and once I knew I was traveling to Boston, I made sure to put it on my itinerary. We got the single cheeseburger, which was pretty good. It's definitely not my favorite smash burger I've ever had, but it's still pretty high up there. I would definitely go back and try it again. My only complaint is that it is pretty pricey for a cheeseburger, but overall, I thought it was worth trying! read more

If you don't want to wait forever, don't come during peak time and give this place a bad review just because of that. I came Wed evening. Wait wasn't as bad then. I went with the spicy cheeseburger. It was DELICIOUS! Regular fries were great too. It's not as good as In-n-out (my benchmark for the best fast food burger) but best fast food burger I've had in Boston. Will definitely be coming back during non peak hours (I love it but don't want to wait an hr for it either). read more

When I first walked in the place nice I went to the waiter and I was greeted with a mean waiter I got the cheese burger with everything on it and fries and water the food was good but if the customer service was better the rating would have been 4+ stars read more

I was vacationing in Boston and out for a walk through the city when we stumbled upon a long line for 7th street. We asked people waiting in line about it and they told us it was a new spot, only opened for about a week, and everyone wanted to try it because it's supposed to be a east coast In N Out vibe burger? So we got in line. The line moved pretty quickly. The inside is quite small with not a lot of tables, but everyone did a really good job of eating quickly and moving on. It probably took about 15 minutes to place our order from the line and then another 25 minutes after we ordered to get our food. They did however let us know that they were new and it would be a 30 minute wait for the food, which we didn't mind at all, and appreciated them giving us the heads up. The food was good. Burger doesn't compare to In N Out in my opinion, because I'm from California, and In N Out is elite in my opinion. But it was good. Different but good. The fries though, 10 out of 10! The right kind of crispy and seasoned to perfection. They also offer coke in a bottle, and I mean who doesn't appreciate that? Haha. Overall, it's definitely worth a try! read more

7th Street Burger Newbury - Single cheeseburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

It's like an improved in n out clone and that's a great thing. The double cheeseburger is the perfect size. The burger comes standard with their sauces (animal style) Other than that the menu is really just fries. I would make the fries "loaded" which basically makes them animal style and they throw a burger on top of the fries. Getting them spicy with the jalapeños was good too. This is my new favorite smash burger. read more

Honestly I can't tell if I was just super hungry or if the burger was just that good. The only issue is, the atmosphere is not the best since there's so many patrons coming in and out, it was overly crowded, and not enough seats. If you're coming for a quick affordable bite this place isn't bad. read more

Excelente Hamburgers and the fries are great. If you need a good hamburger and fast to continue this place it's your best option. The service was great. The restaurant it's small but you can eat fast and continue or take out. read more

Great burger! Had a double with jalapeños. Simple and tasty and was lucky for a Saturday no wait time.

The burgers are fire. All these clowns writing bad reviews about wait time when it just opened. Give them some grace. Geez.

1000% NOT worth the wait. Burger is 6.8 out of 10 fries were shockingly not greasy. But if you know you know Boston Burger company has the same quality burger for $3. I don't think its even the best smash burger on Newbury. Wayyy more options for 1/10th of the wait time. I waited so you don't have to. read more

The longest wait for burgers and fries I have ever experienced. When asked how much longer, they just said it was coming, not hospitable.

This location has people waiting 30+ MINUTES for a burger and fries. They literally have 5 hot items on their menu... talk about operations and efficiency disaster. Waited so long eventually asked for a refund and they couldn't even produce a refund receipt for me as proof. I'd say about 50% of their sales were lost today because of the amount of people leaving after hearing food would be a "45 minute wait". Yikes. Would've had my food faster at a sit down restaurant. read more

Normally one to complain about the NewYorkification of Boston (see, e.g., my burning hatred of most Seaport outposts of NYC hotspots), but I can't do anything but welcome the arrival of 7th Street. Just as good as the original. People leaving bad reviews about the wait seemingly have never been to a new restaurant before. And for what it's worth, when I was there in early May 2026, I was in and out in 20 minutes. read more

This place is literally psychotic. You wait 10 minutes outside then 10 minutes inside, then wait 45+ min for the food on a Saturday. Food is pretty good but not good enough for waiting that long. There are no available tables and they keep letting people in even though there is hardly anywhere to stand to wait for your food. The manager/staff have no concept of optimizing work flow. There are literally 2 things on the menu and these geniuses can't seem to figure out how to have a steady flow of fries and burgers ready. Avoid!!!! at least until they figure out how to be efficient. read more

For starters the wait the get to the front of the line took about 10 minutes. For only 3 items on the menu the wait cannot be this long. Then the wait for the actual food is 30+ minutes and again for the amount of items on their menu it shouldn't be this long to make a cheeseburger. I could've honestly walked to the Shake-shack near here and get better food there before I got something from 7th Street. When I actually got the food the burger were overly greasy for their small size and the fries were just bad. The taste doesn't even help the small portions and it took me a minute to finish the food that took 40 minutes to get. This was the most disappointing dining experiences I've ever had in my life and I do not recommend. read more

Best burger I have ever had. Would eat 10 of these. Would eat again definitely. Fries are crispy, burger is perfect, sauce is flavorful.

I had a pretty frustrating experience at 7th Street Burger. I got in line around 6:10 PM, ordered at 6:21, and didn't get my food until 7:40,so apparently burgers and fries now require a full feature-length wait time. At that pace, it might honestly be more time efficient to fly to California and grab In-N-Out Burger. During that stretch, I checked in a few times and was told "a couple more minutes," which, to be fair, seems to mean something different here. The staff was friendly throughout, which I appreciated, but no one seemed to have a clear sense of timing or what was going on with orders. I understand this location is new and there can be some growing pains, but this feels like the kind of issue that should be worked out pretty early on. After being patient the whole time, I was offered one free burger, even though my total came out to around $50. I get that places get busy, but for a spot with such a simple menu, this felt like a bit much. Hoping this was just an off night--but definitely something to be aware of. read more

Definitely a long wait and I wish there was a little more variety on the menu, but it is very good foodI

My boyfriend went into anaphylaxis after eating here even though we told them about his food allergies and were assured he could eat here. I have reached out multiple times to see if they have taken steps to prevent cross contamination going forward, and have received no response. If you have any sort of food allergy, please stay far away from this place. There was a long wait for mediocre food, too, and the restaurant is small and cramped. read more

So much hype so much disappointment. Finally made it down to try these burgers. Not much wait on a Friday mid-afternoon so that was a plus. Burgers were ok but nothing special. Meat had very little flavor so you really just taste onions and sauce. Sad I didn't just go across the street for the best burgers in town at Crazy Good Kitchen. These burgers were a notch below Tasty Burger and Shake Shack. No reason to return. read more

Was so excited to try these burgers. Not happy at all. But was wet and soggy, I asked for no pickles and of course they were on the burger. And worst of all the fries were ice cold. Not a great start! read more

Such a simple menu to be waiting 45+ min after you order the food. The service is unacceptable.

Anywhere that is a burger and fry place that takes over 45 minutes from when you place your order to getting your food is not worth it.

If you're the type of idiot to wait in line for anything, let alone a cheeseburger because some other idiot from social media said it's good, then by all means come here. The whole draw is a decent burger for cheap, but it's not good and it's not that cheap. It's about on par with Tasty Burger, which is cheaper, and there's no line. Save yourself the time and go literally anywhere else. read more

very long wait time, 40 minutes for a cheeseburger, not acceptable. it was good but not that good really
