    Hot Mess (bottom) and custom burger (top)
    Mandy H.

    For a popular burger joint, it's expensive for what it is and underwhelming. The chips are stale and it's barely customizable. More flashy with its excessive ingredients that it's hard to taste individual components. A custom burger is also more expensive than the standard ones offered ($14 at minimum for just the meat). Service is alright. My burger had cheese but they forgot it and then they brought me a plate with two slices of cold cheese. Ambiance is rustic with booths and high top chairs/booths. 4/10 food overall. I wouldn't recommend it

    veggie burger from catering
    Grace X.

    I once had a veggie burger here from a catered event. It was not very clear to me whether the veggie burger and bun were vegan or not, but my guess is that they are. The burger and fries were decent, probably much better at the restaurant.

    I came here for dinner and had a great time. This casual spot offers a variety of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and other small bites. Service here is pretty quick and very attentive. I got their ranch BLT (with the ranch on the side) and chips were also included. It was delicious but I just wish that the bacon strips were a bit bigger. Chips were also salted nicely but weren't very crispy. Overall, not a bad spot for a casual burger.

    Alpine Burger, chips & coleslaw
    Ann E.

    Sat at the bar and enjoyed a burger and a beer with my daughter before a game at Fenway. Plenty of good choices on the menu. I had the Alpine which is a burger topped with garlic Parmesan mushrooms and Swiss cheese. It came out rare, as I had ordered it. The roll was fresh. The house made chips were yummy. I ordered coleslaw which was standard. I enjoyed a pint of The Substance from Bissell Brothers. All good. Service was very good. No complaints. They have #Freakfrappes on the menu, which we did not get. They are absolutely huge! Glad we stopped by.

    Great burger spot right near Fenway. My mom and I came for the Boston marathon and needed something quick and delicious. Service was fast and the food was delicious.

    Beautiful fall day. Sit outside and watch all the music students walking to class. The Buffalo burger. Melted blue cheese on top and smothered with franks hot sauce. The burger is big, and the sauce will drip down your arm. Home made crunchy chips. And the Boston beans are wonderful. Overall a solid burger and awesome place to be.

    Gluten free Sophia
    April B.

    Service was great! I got a gluten free bun on my burger, which I was glad they had! Unfortunately, it was fairly dry and crumbled. The moisture that was in my burger was quickly soaked up into the bun leaving an unpleasant dry burger with hints of balsamic and great flavors pulling through. I'm fairly certain that Hamilton, our server noticed that I was not eating and asked but I declined to elaborate as I was honestly happy to find did I could eat and he was so helpful! I was warned of cross contamination of fries (I appreciated that heads up) and accepted that risk as long as they were not battered or coated; unfortunately upon arrival, they were coated. Hubby really enjoyed his burger and the shakes looked incredible! The chips were really good!! I was sad that the beans were what I'll remember Boston Beans as, I'll make my own back in Arizona...

    Sampler Hot Mess

    We were greeted and seated quickly. Drink and appetizer order was taken within minutes and our drinks were on the table less than 3 minutes later! The food: Sampler appetizer, Hot Mess Burger, and Boston Burger were amazing. I have nothing but positives to say about this place!

    Killer Bee
    Hillary L.

    We accidentally showed up before they even opened (classic us), but instead of shooing us away they let us sit inside with ice-cold water. MVP move. Service was solid the whole meal -- just took a little longer to cash out at the end. I got the Killer Bee burger and wow... it was messy, sweet, spicy, crunchy, cheesy -- basically everything you want in a burger. And yes, I actually finished it. My son made his own creation loaded with veggies and demolished the whole thing too. The only heartbreak? No room left for one of their outrageous Freakfrappes. They looked ridiculous in the best way. Next time, I'm starting with dessert.

    Kids Mac & Cheese Bites
    Jessica M.

    I brought my kids to BBCo after a trip to the MFA. There was something for everyone, which was perfect. My kids liked their meals although my son wasn't crazy about the cheese in the Mac & cheese bites. Not sure what they used, but they weren't his favorite. The other kids meals - the grilled cheese and cheeseburger were good, zero complaints. And all the kids liked the chips. The chicken caprese sandwich was excellent! The flavors melded well together and the chicken was juicy. It usually comes with chips but I declined them. We had to round out with one of the giant frappes. The kids devoured it in about 30 seconds. I managed to get a sip and a taste, and can confirm that it tastes as good as it looked. My only complaint about the whole lunch was that service is slow. It was two hours from sit down to leaving and we could've done it in an hour easily. Our waiter was incredibly busy, working the bar seating and tables - I can't fault him. I'm not sure if it's staffing, but the guy could have used some help.

    Homemade Fried Pickles
    Mike T.

    We came back because the food was awesome. They weren't too busy, but I'm sure it was because of the freezing cold. But the service was honestly horrible. We were sat past the kitchen window where a few staff members all hung out on their phones. Our server finally came over to get our drink orders, and we asked for a couple minutes to decide. The server did not come back over for well over 15 minutes, and I tried to get his attention but he avoided contact and just kept checking his phone. Him taking our food order was the last time we saw him until after we were done with our food. Our app came out and then the burgers right after. Again the food is amazing, and for the first time we got the frappes. The holy cannoli was amazing. The place has a great vibe, and kept really clean. I totally suggest this place for the food. I'm hoping that the service was just a fluke for the night.

    Wicked Hot Burger
    Sean P.

    I'll start by saying that the service was terrible. Our waitress took a long time for every single thing and was standing around chitchatting most of the time. There were only about 3 tables with people, so when you are waiting 10 minutes to order, it's a bit frustrating. However, the food was very good. The garlic parm fries were solid, and the Wicked Hot burger was right up my alley with great flavor! I'd highly recommend it, and it's not overly spicy for those who might worry. This is probably more like a 3.5-star due to the service being so bad, but I'll still keep it as a 4 on here (due to limitations) because the burger was overall really good.

    Looking at going at 5pm on Saturday before the 7pm Red Sox/Yankees game. Do you think the wait will be long?

    My son and I have a ritual to eat at Boston Burger before every Red Sox game that we attend. We recently went to a Sunday afternoon game that was PACKED at Fenway and we ended up going to Boston Burger after the game and it was busy but they still… 

    Do they do reservation?

    Yeah kinda. Add name in advance of visit to wait list via website.

    How long is the wait on a Saturday night around 5:00 p.m.?

    Use the Yelp waitlist! We went on a Saturday night and I believe the wait was about 45 minutes but with the Yelp waitlist, we didn't wait long at the restaurant.

    Is it gluten free?

    There are gluten free options. I believe you can get the burgers wrapped in lettuce if you want also.

While the kitchen delivered a solid meal, the service was so profoundly disappointing that it completely overshadowed the food. The culinary side of things easily earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. We ordered a wide variety of items to share, and the highlights included: * The Pizzas: Creative flavor combinations with fresh, high-quality toppings and fantastic crusts. * The Bucatini Pasta: Perfectly cooked and packed with rich flavor. * The Asparagus Appetizer & The Chicken Milanese: Both executed well, flavorful, and cooked to a high standard. Unfortunately, the front-of-house experience was uniformly horrible. For a large party, hospitality can make or break the night, and our server missed the mark at every single turn: * Argumentative & Dismissive: He actively argued with our host regarding an appetizer that had been ordered in advance. When asked about vegetarian substitutions for a sold-out pasta dish, he curtly replied, "Pasta with butter is all we can do"--despite the fact that we could clearly see a wide variety of fresh vegetables being used right on their pizzas. * Inattentive: Dirty dishes piled up on our table, and when we politely asked for them to be cleared, he claimed he needed to get help and walked away completely empty-handed. Our drink orders were rarely checked on or refilled. * Rude to Guests: He displayed visible attitude and put-off body language whenever anyone asked a simple question. This peaked when he was outright rude to one of the young women in our party who simply wanted to put her order in a bit early because she had to leave before the rest of the group. It is a real shame because the ingredients and the kitchen's output are genuinely good. However, between the hostile attitude and the lack of basic service standards, we unfortunately won't be rushing back.

While the beautiful venue, incredible food, and attentive staff certainly deserve recognition, the true reason these events have been so successful is Rob, the Events Manager! From our very first conversation, Rob has been an absolute professional and a genuine partner in every sense of the word. Planning large-scale celebrations can be complex, but Rob makes the entire process feel effortless. He is responsive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the event exceeds expectations. His commitment to hospitality is evident in everything he does. He took the time to understand our goals, our students, and the significance of these celebrations. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, expertise, and warmth so naturally. The Events Team and staff reflect this standard. Every member of the team has been welcoming, accommodating, and dedicated to providing exceptional service. Our graduates, families, faculty, and staff consistently leave talking about how wonderful the experience was, and that is a direct reflection of the culture of hospitality Rob has cultivated. If you are considering hosting an event in Boston, I cannot recommend Bostonia Public House highly enough. Ask for Rob...you will quickly understand why he is such an incredible asset to the organization!

Our entrees included: herb-crusted halibut, steak frites, the signature 1928 burger, and a gorgeous short rib with some fabulous crispy Brussels sprouts. We shared a single Sticky coffee pudding for dessert. All I can say is that the food and libations were superb, and the service was superb. It is not inexpensive, but no more so than any upscale restaurant in Boston. I would take the few recent negative reviews with a grain of salt. I have spent more and received less at a couple of spots in Boston. We will certainly return to 1928. I would love to try eating at the bar on our next visit.

    Phenomenal experience and establishment. My husband and I went for dinner recently to celebrate my…read morebirthday. From the moment we arrived to the moment we walked out of the door, the attention to detail was exceptional. The food was absolutely excellent and worth every dollar. I had the steak frites and my husband ordered the halibut. Both were Fresh, flavorful, and well portioned. We also ordered a side of Brussels, crisp to perfection. The decor and ambiance are gorgeous. I had two cocktails: the lychee martini and the 1928, both were delicious and well portioned with spirits. The service was fantastic. We never had to ask for our glasses to be refilled, our waiter was attentive and professional. My husband had indicated on the online reservation that we were celebrating a birthday, and that was the only mention of our celebration. And yet when the dessert came out, it was a happy birthday, custom dessert. So without having to remind a soul, the team remembered and incorporated the celebration without having to be asked or reminded. Phenomenal attention to detail. One of the best dining experiences we have had. Already thinking about our next visit!

Any dining establishment can be charming with the right outward appearance. The food and staff add a soul to Ma Maison. And it is wonderful to be in this brassiere's dining room. The simple salad contained the best tomatoes, greens crisp at the right temperature delicious house dressing and do get the goat cheese. Scallops were fantastic, browned perfectly, mussels were delicious. Also ordered escargot. Bread was the freshest and made on premises. Fries are real French fries, delicious.

Probably highlight of the meal 2. French Onion Soup. 1/5. Not good at all. Very watered down. The broth was basically lightly seasoned water. Cheese topping lacked flavor. This was very disappointing for a French restaurant. 3. Mussels. 4/5. These were fresh and came with standard sauces. 4. Coq Au vin with pasta. 3/5 Came out hot but seasoning felt off and didn't quite it the mark. Service was good and it's in a cute spot. But Overall, disappointment with our food and wouldn't repeat.

    I saw the steak tips listed as on Boston's list of best steak tips spots. I have tried others on…read morethe list and wanted to give Tip Tap room a try. I ordered a draft beer from a large selection of drafts and bottle, cans options. It was Jack Abbey beer... pint came 3/4 full as left a large head on beer and better for establishment pours 12-14 oz in a 16 oz glass.. Beer was warm... bad demerit again Ordered steak tips which came with three large tips on a bed of mashed potatoes, spinach . It had some sour hot nasty pepper garnish.. I wanted roasted red or green peppers with the tips instead. Steak tips were just ok and needed a marinate or side of a dipping bbq sauce or mushroom sauce or anything. Spinach, mashed potatoes needed more butter or garlic flavoring... fresh tasting but bland. Needs more steak tips too for the price tag. It was a nice bar vibe for drinks. The chicken wing lollipops I saw for an appetizer looked tasty. I left hungry for more steak tips and wanted a charcoal char on my tips . I wanted my spinach on the side with a garlic oil next to sone grilled oil drizzled roasted peppers . I don't consider these some of Boston best but certainly not the worst .

    The atmosphere here manages to be both sophisticated and relaxed, Nice view while dining. Great…read moreservice too! I ordered the steak frites cooked to a perfect medium with a deep, salty crust. It was tender enough to melt but had that essential beefy bite. The sauce was silky and sharp, tying the whole plate together without overpowering the meat. Overall a cool nice place to come enjoy dinner or sit at the bar to have a drink.

You would…read morenever know from the mall entrance but it's a huge restaurant on the second floor with a lovely outdoor space too. We had an early dinner before a concert at TD garden. Food came out of kitchen and yuck but right on point. The big winner was the steak and sushi. A generous portion of the crispy rice sushi was so good. But the steak was cooked perfect and tender and seemed bigger than you'd expect too for the price. Loved my burger was much was huge. Service was great and can't wait to come back again.

    We did not have a great experience here but I don't want one bad waiter to knock too many stars off…read morea restaurant that is 4 stars as this may be an isolated incident. It was a rainy day in Boston so we decided to spend the day indoors. We saw this restaurant and it looked beautiful so decided to come here for lunch. The hostesses were all super nice and professional. The ambiance is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the outdoor patio was closed today due to inclement weather. When we first sat down our waiter seemed distracted and in a bad mood. Everyone has an off day so we didn't think too much of it. He took our drink orders and we received our drinks quickly. When we went to order we both had planned on brunch. It was our fault that we missed that brunch is only served on the weekends, but this is where things really went wrong. The waiter was irritated that we asked him to come back. He seemed to have forgotten to come back as we sat for about a half hour before he came back. Both of our drinks were empty and we still hadn't ordered. Finally we ordered and got more drinks. The food came and I had ordered the carne asada tacos. I took one bite and knew I was in trouble. The meat was so chewy that I couldn't break it down. After chewing for what felt like an eternity, I had a choice to make. Spit it out or swallow it whole. I made the decision to swallow and then began a near choking experience. To be fair I have issues with my esophagus so I am known to eat very dainty bites. But I literally had to force myself to vomit this up in the restroom. The waiter came back and didn't even inquire as to why someone would eat just one bite of food. You would think that he would ask if I didn't like it or something. I'm not sure what was going on with that meat but it was inedible. The waiter was rude and not attentive. The rest of the experience was good though. I will go back and give it another try because one bad waiter and one bad dish deserves one more try.
