I convinced my wife to stay for dinner. She had the teriyaki chicken and was pleased the salad was fresh and the chicken was not overcooked. As I type this, it could read like a backhand compliment, but she really liked it. I had the steak tips and was happy the meat was tender and tasty. I will happily return to this fine establishment.

This place was awesome!!!…read more If you are a Gen X'er, and love great cocktails, you will love this place! So we are from out of town; Texas, to be exact, and we were in Boston on vacation. We were looking for a place we could get some drinks and appetizers, and maybe watch some sports. A person in our group found this place online, so we gave it a try. We loved it! The 80s & 90s decor, as well as the 80s & 90s music they were playing made it an instant hit for our Gen X group. Every single song that was played was on my personal playlist, so we sang along and danced at our table to the tunes that took us back in time. There were some early 2000s songs played, too, but all songs played were songs we know and love. So needless to say, we loved the music!! Also, the drinks...oh my, the drinks. They were so, so good! Some in our group had the Adult Caprisun, including myself. It was so tasty, and served in an actual pouch, which brought me back to my 80s childhood. Another in our group ordered the Pink Flamingo which came with a little inflatable pink flamingo that you could take home with you. We noticed that the drinks were just perfect, too; not too strong with alcohol, and not watered down, either. The food was okay. It's bar food, so it's not going to knock your socks off or anything, but it hits the spot if you are drinking and hanging with friends. Our server was good. She was attentive to our needs and took good care of us. It was interesting to me that we, a group of age 50 somethings, were the oldest among the clientele, as everyone else was probably in their 20s or early 30s, but we didn't care. We had a great time! The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars is because someone in our group wanted to watch the Red Sox game, and apparently it was on Apple TV that night and the bar didn't have Apple TV.

I stopped into Rock & Rye for a casual evening and had a decent overall experience. The service was…read morevery good; it was attentive and friendly from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere is very casual and low-key, perfect for grabbing drinks and a bite without any pretense. I ordered a flatbread listed as a Margarita, but it was more like a cheese pizza than a true Margarita. It was still decent, just not what I expected. The online menu did not match what was available at the restaurant, which made ordering a little confusing. On the drink side, the wine selection was underwhelming, but the beer list was solid, and the cocktail menu stood out. They clearly put more focus on mixed drinks. This is not a fine dining destination, but it works well for what it is, a laid-back bar with better-than-average food and a great drink program. I rate it 3.5 stars, but will round up to 4 for the strong service and cocktails. It is a good choice if you're looking for a casual spot downtown with good energy.

Yeah, ok, we caved and came to the tourist attraction. But you know what? This was a very…read morepleasant surprise. First off, yes, it's not the bar from the show. But they have done a great job giving the entire joint a serious style and vibe that makes it feel like you could have taken it right out of the television. Lots of vintage decor and show memorabelia, definitely cool to see. The establishment kind of consists of three or four different dining rooms, and you know that it will almost certianly be busy when you come, as it was when we did. But I gotta give props to the staff, who did a great job juggling to many customers and still getting everything out in pretty quick order. The drink menu is pretty standard, with a good selection of beers on tap, including a really good house hazy that I recommend. And of course, wine and cocktails available. And as for food, it is mostly lots of pub favorites, with some house specialties tailored to certain characters. We both wound up going with the Giant Norm Burger, which was excellent. Two beef patties, plenty of cheese, and lots of sauteed mushrooms. Definitely a winner! And price wise, I was pleasantly surprise, as it didn't seem any more expensive than other similar pub sorts of places we explored in Boston, so good on them for not falling into the tourist trap mindset. All told, Cheers was a surprise on this Boston trip. Surprising we went, and surprising how much we enjoyed it. If you want a taste of nostalgia AND a taste of good burgers, definitely consider swinging by if you are visiting.

We came for lunch and I decided to go with their version of the hamburger $20, which comes on a grilled brioche with aged cheddar, which I upgraded with bacon jam +$2 and sweet potato fries +$3. The burger patty was a bit overwhelmed by the comparatively massive bun that encased it, but at least I was able to keep it from sliding out. I was satisfied. As were those who ordered the $28 fish & chips. Their truffle fries +$3 also smelled terrific.

Food is good. We really enjoyed the Caesar salad, the lobster bisque and the fish and chips. They had a good beer and wine selection. Service was really disappointing.

I ended up coming back there almost every single day for lunch or for a drink after work on the way back to the hotel. I ended up having the lobster roll, their burger, boneless buffalo tenders, fish and chips and clam chowder. Everything was delicious especially the lobster roll and the burger. Prices were good service was fast and it was cozy. My only complaint is I wish I would kick the AC up a little bit because it wasn't as much of a relief from the heat as I'd have liked. But I guess that's what the beer is for.

They sat a table of 6 immediately and the atmosphere inside was great. They had large tvs playing random sports but it was still a vibe. The New England clam chowder.... Let me tell you. This was some of the best chowder I have ever had. The fresh clams and baked sourdough were a fantastic touch. And a hefty portion as well. The Guinness braised short ribs complimented my comfort dinner very nicely. Shaved onions at the top were a great touch. Overall, the staff was very accommodating for a larger party, and the food came out fairly quickly for a decently busy Thursday night. Would highly recommend if you're in the area!
