Another one of those places that needs to be indulged in only once in a while. Service was speedy and waitstaff was pleasant enough. I ordered The Sophie. It was cooked as ordered and the flavors (goat cheese, balsamic vinegar) was really taste bud poppin'. The potato chips were good, very good even, but just ordinary - even for homemade. I SAW one of their amazing milkshakes, but didn't have one. Not sure I could actually justify having one...even with sharing it with 2 or 3 others! read more

Food and drinks are all good. Drinks can be a little pricey (11 dollars for a whiskey and cola). A bit steep if you ask me. Burgers are literally amazing and the staff are very friendly. read more

Jillian the manager is such a B***H. And tries to scam people. She certainly shouldn't be working anywhere near people. The place in general is good. Burgers are awesome and cooked correctly. read more

Food: 4/5 Stars Service: 4/5 Stars I'm not a fan of sit-down burger places but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by Boston Burger co. I came here for lunch on a Thursday and had the killer bee which was super tasty! Filled with smoked BBQ sauce, onion rings, and bacon this was a delicious lunchtime meal - filled me up quite well indeed. Service was very relaxed for a lunch time meal but I wasn't in a rush so that didn't matter to me. The burger itself was top notch. I liked the presentation with a giant stack of onion rings on top of the patty. One critique I would have is that the bbq sauce could have been more evenly spread throughout the burger as I think that it was mainly put on the onion rings and didn't always reach the patty. Would have been more flavorful if so. The weather / patio area is also beautiful in the summer. Grab a beer and enjoy a huge luscious burger! read more

It was a Saturday evening (07/07/18). We ordered 2 burgers, the King and the Green Monstah. The King was cooked perfectly, full of flavors. However, when we tasted the Green Monstah, the meat didn't taste fresh. We mentioned this to our waitress and she immediately asked her manager to speak with us. He came by and we told him about the meat situation. He was a bit defensive and told us that there couldn't be anything wrong with the meat. After talking for a few minutes, he still insisted and came out with more excuses. We quitted talking with him and just didn't finish our burger. The manager just doesn't know how to properly treat his customer. read more

THEY SERVED SO MUCH HEARTY FOOD. I ordered the burger recommended by Food network (4 cheese mac n' cheese, bacon, etc) and I could not eat through even half. For the next four hours, I couldn't even sit down because I was so bloated. I would not come here again. It is delicious for some people but I think Bartley's has a better balance of taste and portion size. read more

Slow service, my burger arrived undercook. When they corrected the order the burger was terrible. One of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in a long time. read more

Great burgers and homade chips. My Fiancee Sara and I ordered the 420, The King, The Porksasurus and a Pig Pile plate. Everything was very good. The service...not so much. Our server wasn't rude she was actually very nice just not very attentive. Never got a refill on our soda and just came by at the end to drop off the check. But the food was well worth it. read more

This is a slightly expensive place and the burger was good but not as great as I expected. The IPA suggestion by the server was good and I enjoyed it. read more

No "Impossible burger" option. If someone in your party is vegetarian or vegan or wants a healthier options it is not available.

It was OK. I can't say that I'll remember this place in five years or even one year. If you're coming in for a quick bite it is perfect. If you want to burger this place is perfect. Will be the best party ever had?, no.... Come in for a quick bite grab a burger and a beer. read more

I was super excited to go to this place. I ordered the classic Mac n cheese. I was kinda disappointed by the Mac n cheese. I also ordered the Oreo Frappe. It was amazing. Side note: if you go on a really hot day it's very hot indoors they don't even have air conditioning. I would recommend this. read more

I got a $6 chili that was the size of a drink i would give a toddler at my preschool. They overcharge the crap out of their food. Not worth it. read more

Wow! We were blown away not just by the food but also by the service! Our waitress was wonderful and the Manager on duty was very attentive and friendly. My son stated that the mac and cheese pulled pork eggrolls should be illegal as they were so good. He especially loved the BBQ-ranch dipping sauce. His burger was cooked perfectly. The cobb salad was huge and the chicken on top was seasoned just right, and the ranch dressing was perfect. So good! The freak frappes were outstanding. Overall we will be back probably tomorrow! read more

My husband and I came here to watch the game a few weeks ago. We grabbed seats at the bar and ordered a few beers and the Inferno fries. They were so good! They weren't really 'in your face' spicy but had a kick to them. read more

I am a huge fan of burgers, so I was very excited to try this place. I was a little disappointed since my expectations were high, and I think the burgers here are overhyped. I ordered the All American burger, which has bacon, BBQ sauce, creamy blue cheese, American cheese, lettuce, and tomato. The problem was that I could barely taste the flavor of the burger because it was drenched in BBQ sauce and blue cheese sauce, which completely overwhelmed the taste of the meat itself. I ended up scraping most of the sauces off because they were calorie bombs and were detracting from my experience of the burger, instead of enhancing it. I was also not a fan of their potato chips instead of fries on the side (it costs extra to get fries) and side order of chili, which didn't go well with either the chips or the burger. For the price (~11 for a burger), I would rather go to Tasty Burger down the street and get a tastier burger for half the price. read more

Boston Burger Company is my favorite burger place in all of Boston! I've been to three of its locations (Davis Square, Boylston, and Cambridge near Harvard) and it's never disappointed. It was around 4:00 when I was on Mass. Ave., so what's better than embracing the 420 burger that they advertise all over social media? This burger was very heavy but delicious. Definitely come only if you're starving! I couldn't believe it was actually $4.20. read more

Boston Burger - 420 burger - Burgers Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Went there last week with my girlfriend and a couple friends. Our server was awesome, I believe her name is Lia. But the food is overrated. The nacho fries were good, a little bland. The sweet potato fries were perfect. I ordered a burger, medium rare, and it came out well done. Our server was right on it. It was okay, the bottom bun was nice and hot but the top one was ice cold. Creen brûlée shake, was amazing! Overall, if it's your first time, don't give into the hype. But definitely go for a shake. read more

Wow, this place has changed (for the better). I went to Boston Burger way back when it opened and I was not at all impressed. Burger patties seemed frozen fast-foodish and the fries were lousy. This time around, years later, everything from decor to burger patty quality has changed. They cooked the meat correctly to the medium rare I asked for and it was high quality. I don't go for those colossal mega burgers that are filled with nonsense, I just want a simple burger with cheese, lettuce and tomato and that's what I had. If you do want the colossal burger they have that too! I'll definitely be going back after this recent experience. read more

First meal in the Boston area. The burger was delicious! Very worth the money. I had the All American burger with chips. Chips, to me means fries, so I was surprised to see Kettle chips. That sad, they too were delicious! read more

I love Boston Burger Company. I've been here multiple times and the service and food have always been great. However, that was definitely not the case today. I go between 4:20-5:20 because that's when you can get the 420 burger for $4.20. Today, I walked in just after 5:00. After being seated, I had to wait 10 minutes for someone to come over and take my order. Mind you, the restaurant was practically empty. The waiters and waitresses were just talking to each other and I even saw one counting their tips. I got my food finally and it was great. Then came the bill. I ordered at 5:10 and they charged me full price for the burger, so I asked my waitress why it wasn't $4.20. She said that deal ends at 5:00. Since when??? I've taken advantage of the deal so many times in the past after 5:00. She said she would go to the manager and see if they can do anything. After a few minutes, she came back and said the manager told her there was nothing they could do. I asked to speak to the manager and he said the deal ends at 5:00 now and that it's on all their advertisements. Where??? He also pointed at an advertisement to try and prove his point, although the advertisement had nothing to do with the deal I was talking about. It was showing off a new burger they offer. Anyway, the manager said he'd go see if he can do anything and came back to tell me he couldn't. I know how retail sales work. The manager has the ability to go on the computer and do just about anything he wants. I'm honestly really disappointed by this experience and I know the manager said he would try to do something so that I'd feel like he tried and I wouldn't leave a poor review. But that's not the case. read more

If this were a horse, it'd be third place. A totally respectable showing, and pretty, but not the crown. I came here with a friend who is a recent Boston Burger Company convert. He said, Get the chili! He's basing it on size, of course, as men are often wont to do. The bowl of chili ($6) is humongous. I ordered the cup ($4), which came in a bowl, bigger than the bowl in most places. The chili was covered in melted cheese ("that's a star all by itself!" -- kidding, kidding!) but had no other accoutrements. (Hello, Chef, tortilla chips would be nice.) So we ordered french fries, too, which were baked and (maybe?) fried potato wedges with some sort of coating. They are huge. I can't emphasize this more. These are Huge Wedge Fries. HUGE. (If size matters, get thee to Boston Burger.) As for taste, it was just okay. Not spicy. Ground meat, red kidney beans, and chopped red and green peppers. Chili should have a complex flavor where the meat interacts with the tomatoes and vegetables and spices. This chili tasts very new, perhaps cooked by a timid chef. In the no BS category: I asked for and got sour cream on the side -- no charge. Bartender warned me away from the "bowl" of chili. She was right. Generally pleasant, if you get the right bartender. The decor feels clean and fresh without feeling cold. The curved bar is beautiful. It makes the big square room look hip and interesting. Congrats to the architecht. Good view of the TVs for sports or, because this is Cambridge, politics. The only minus is that when the outside door opens, it blasts the bar with cold air. We were there in May -- I can't imagine January. Any chance of installing a buffer of some sort? Overall, service kinda slow and inconsistent. As soon as we sat at the bar, I saw the sign that says "PBR $1.50" which sealed the deal. I asked the bartender for a PBR in a cold glass. Bartender says, "We don't have cold glasses." And doesn't serve the beer and then disappears. Huh? Five or ten minutes later another bartender appears and so I ask again and get a PBR in a cold glass, no fuss. My companion orders a cocktail, which is expertly mixed by our new bartender. Food takes forever -- chili, fries, and salad shouldn't take this long. But it's not an unpleasant wait. Especially since we both have drinks and the bar is comfy. Everything feels clever. I'd certainly return and try a burger. As I was leaving, I saw a woman photographing her burger, which was HUMONGOUS. Another yelper? I'm waiting for that pic! Park the car in Harvard Yard. Or don't. Just south of Harvard Square, BBC is a short walk from the Harvard T. If you insist on driving, you might find meter parking right in front, or if you're lucky or good, depending on time of day and day of week and whether or not it's family weekend at Havhad. Sometimes the universe loves you, sometimes it don't. read more

Come here if you want awesome potatoes and burger toppings/condiments! The burger patties themselves are just okay. We both asked for them to be cooked medium rare, but they came out closer to medium-well. They are also not seasoned well. But I guess if you top it with delicious sauces and condiments, that's fine! (not). Their loaded fries are very good. I usually don't like steak fries but these are soft and crispy at the same time. Service on a random Tuesday night was very slow and inattentive. Our server was rather frazzled. I would probably come back with a Groupon, but BBC is certainly not my first choice when I'm craving a burger. P.S. Pitchers of PBR are $5, if that matters. read more

I personally think the food is gross. Ive had their clam chowder and Brushetta fries. If your not going there for or a frappe then do eat there. Its a burger company so i would stick to that.

I've tried this place in Davis Square and the BBC in Harvard is definitely stepping it up. It's fairly new so it wasn't incredibly crowded. We were seated immediately. While the decor isn't something to write home about, they're able to open up the store front windows so you can enjoy your burger AND the beautiful spring day. They have a long roster of delicious combinations. If you're nostalgic for thanksgiving food, try the pilgrim. If you want to experience life to the fullest, even if it doesn't last that long, go for the deep-fried artery clogger. Although I haven't had it, the 420 burger looks like it'll calm your munchies with mozzarella sticks, onion rings, french fries, and mac 'n' cheese bites. I love the kitchen sink with the fried egg (mostly because I wish every meal were breakfast) but it does get a bit runny. While BBC excels in elaborate burger construction, they're pretty solid on their classics. Last time I opted for the Alpine-a patty topped with mushrooms sautéed in garlic parmesan butter with swiss cheese. Yeah, even that doesn't sound that simple...but it's fantastic. To top it off, the staff is great. The servers are new so there might be some hiccups but we didn't experience any. The manager even came over to our table to check if we had enjoyed our meals. Our friend (who is French) was rather shocked to see a restaurant care about it's patrons enough to check up on them. Best part about it (for me, at least) is that it's conveniently located. I don't have to travel more than two blocks for a delicious burger fix! read more

Extremely mediocre burgers in a dingy dive bar setting. Came in here on a Friday night at about 10pm, was about the only burger place in the area that wasn't closed. I had the Green Monstah burger ($12) which is a burger with guac. Don't understand how you can ruin a burger with avocado, but they did. The meat quality, I think, is not fresh and is clearly frozen, which ruined it for me. My partner got the Porkasaurus, which I didn't try but I think it looked pretty mediocre too. The burger comes with homemade potato chips (quite good actually, possibly the best thing) and a side of slaw (not very good at all). I had a hankering for fries, so got me some garlic parmesan fries ($8.50). Sounded great in theory, poor execution. The fries were waaay too salty. The service was ok; we had a fairly attentive waitress. I was too tired to complain about the quality of the food but rest assured I will not be returning. read more

We came here on Tuesday night and the place was surprisingly really crowded. They were definitely understaffed because we waited 10 mins for a menu and had to end up flagging down the waitress just to get a menu. The waitress also never checked on us and come take our order until we had to track her down again. In terms of service, I would give this place a 2/5. The have an amazing PBR deal for $1.50 for a pint and $5 for a pitcher, unfortunately they were completely out of PBR when we went :( Given all this negative experience so far, I would have rated the place a 2/5, but the burger was a undeniable 5/5. I got the 'Hot Mess' burger and loved it. It has long island sauce, jalapeno, lettuce, and sweet potato fries. Its basically a giant big mac with additional toppings. The long island dressing made all the difference and gave the burger so much more flavor than a plain burger can provide. All burgers come with potato chips instead of fries and a choice of slaw or baked beans. Both sides were okay, nothing special. We used a Groupon here which made it a pretty great deal, but I really wish they are improve their service and get enough PBR to serve its customers on a busy night. read more

I was pleased with everything. Service and Staff was very welcoming. Food & Drinks was Delicious & the kids loved their Shake

Came for a Friday lunch service was safe and friendly. For it being a full house we only had to wait about 5 minutes to sit. My boyfriend got the vermonster cooked (MR)and I got the alpine cooked (M) both were good burgers but we decided if you want your burger juicy here you must order MR. With exciting crazy different burger combinations I honestly didn't think the quality of ingredients for those combinations we're at the level I was expecting. The burgers were just okay. Would deff come back in the future though to give it a shot once more. They had some cool beer combinations I'd like to try. Service- Good! Food- Average Atmosphere- laid back. read more

Stopped in Boston Burger after visiting Harvard. The place has a fun atmosphere and the staff we're all very nice! I ordered The Sophie burger with chips and baked beans. The burger was pretty good and it was big! The chips and the baked beans were okay, nothing to write home about. I also wanted to try one of Boston Burger's famous freak frappes, so I ordered the strawberry shortcake flavor, even though it was a hefty $11.00. I was really disappointed in the desert - it tasted very artificial, kind of like a McDonald's "strawberry" sundae. The shortcake was way too sweet for my taste, and again, very artificial tasting. Although the burger was good and all the servers were very friendly, I probably wouldn't go back to Boston Burger. read more

I'm giving two stars because our server was really sweet and helpful. The staff over all seems nice. Ok...party of 1for lunch. I know that's a big group but the restaurant wasn't that full. The kitchen screwed up the temp on every single burger. If I knew that medium would be really well done, I would have requested it being black & blue. I got the basic burger with a friend egg on top. I felt really sick later that night and then again the next day. I got to work and found out half our group felt the same way. Think I'll stick with what I know and love. Mr. Bartely's. read more

I went to this place a little while ago, I orderd the surelywecantacoboutit shake and I had no clue that there were nuts in the taco that they place on top, surely I thought it had been nugget but it was in fact peanuts. I have a severe peanut allergy immediately after eating I had to run to the bathroom and throw up my food, my gums were swollen, when asked if they had Put nuts in the taco the waiter replied yes and quickly got nervous, any restaurant I had been to has had a (contains peanuts) signed somewhere on the menu, it hadn't been written anywhere. they definitely need to write on their menu what items contain nuts and which do not. Complete un-acceptable. read more

Damn I never write these reviews but this is one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant in a long time. Let me explain: 1) Horrible Service. We pretty much had 2 different servers for the night. We ordered fries right off the bat because we were all starving. They never came. We then got our burgers and told our waitress that she could just cancel our fries because we wanted them before the burger and we would have chips (that comes with the burger) to snack on. She then was like omg so sorry some other table must have gotten your fries. Liar!! PS the chips were soggy af, which is why I'm so salty. 2) Burger was pretty dank I must say. Pretty much the only reason why I gave this place 2 stars. I got the Mack attack. Didn't come medium rare though. Ugh. 3) THERE WAS A BUG IN MY BEER. Maybe other locations are better than this one, but probably will never come back here. Dab. read more

A little pricey but worth a visit. I had the King burger which is voted a top 25 burger by the Boston Globe. The milkshakes are pretty awesome and worth a try. Parking here is awful but I think it's pretty bad just about everywhere in Boston. Overall I enjoyed this place. read more

I decided to give this review after a take-out order and a burger and beer at their bar, and they were a pair of good experiences. To start with, I like the look of the place, and it's comfortable, clean, and approachable. The staff was friendly and helpful on both occasions, but really, lets get to the issue at hand... ...The burger. It's great. I mean, really, really good. I'm a huge fan of Bartley's having grown up on them, but there is room for another great burger in Harvard Sq. The two things that leaped out at me were the really flavorful and juicy burger, and the soft pillow of a bun. My friend spent a decent portion of her meal commenting on the bun actually, and it's a worthy support for a range of burgers. The first time I went for a simple bacon cheeseburger, medium, and in 15 minutes I had it, medium. My friend got her's medium-rare, and again it was right on the mark. The second time I went alone, and got the Killer Bee... cheese, onion rings, BBQ... it's really good. That bun comes in handy when wrangling the toppings! The burgers come with homemade potato chips, which didn't really excite me on paper. In person though... oh they're charming. I can't imagine anyone who likes potato chips, not liking these a lot. You get a choice of a little side of cole slaw or baked beans, and they're both really good. The cole slaw in particular is that sweet, addictive type that goes well with meat. The fries are unusual, but amazing, a kind of VERY crispy wedge-cut. They're good on their own, and the sweet potato variety are great, but they shine when you start piling things on them. Bacon and cheese worked well, but my favorite was the Greek style... basically a Greek salad with fries instead of lettuce. Yum. The mac and cheese balls were good, but honestly I'd rather just eat more fries, chips, or burger... or fried pickles, they are GREAT. Finally, the bar is comfy, the beers I had were great... I'll be back. read more
