Food was excellent so many choices to choose from. Of course I had to try the shrimp. Service was excellent. I would go again and definitely recommend it if you're in town. read more

I used to love this place reminded me of Boston but we went recently went (Father's Day) and wasn't the same experience. I will say - the staff was fantastic, so review is not on their direct service. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place looks a little run down and unkept. Especially the restrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We went at lunch but only 2 other parties in the indoor portion and tables that were used previously patrons were not bussed for a while so their trash was on tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ordered Guinness and it was being put in and warm so couldn't serve it. Makes sense BUT bummer because it's Father's Day and my S.O. couldn't get a Guinness during lunch on Father's Day from a Boston based bar..kind of uncool. Connecticut lobster roll was buttery and fantastic. The chips that came with it were good. My husband's Signature Fish wasn't that great. Rather greasy and didn't taste like our previous visits. Felt bad because took my S.O. chose this place for his day but food was just okay. We also paid $14 for parking (lot in front) - yikes. read more

Went with a group of friends for drinks and a few of us got dinner too. We got the pretzel to share. It was great! Everyone made a comment about how good it was. Super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Their patio is such a great spot. Large and spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The reason for my less than stellar ranking is due to my fish and chips. I got the British style. I love beer bartered fish. This one just was a little too greasy and a little more fishy than I like. My friends tried it and agreed. We did like that you could order a singular crab cake, a few people got that. I would go back but maybe try a different fish. I would love to go back for drinks and the pretzel at happy hour. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute place located in the hip East Nashville area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved the outdoor dining on the spacious patio![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered a Crab Cake as a starter & my hubby ordered the Clam Chower My Crab Cake was oh so, delish! However, my hubby did not care for the Clam Chowder because it was too thick & not very hot. Our main entrees were Fish & Chips & Honey Dijon Salmon with a double order of broccoli. Both were yummy & be warned the portions are fairly large. Melanie, our server was a delight & very attentive to our needs. All in all a great experience will definitely be returning to sample other dishes. read more

We shared the Connecticut-style lobstah roll and the fish & chips (cod with natural cut fries), and both were delicious--fresh, well-seasoned, and reasonably priced for the portion. The lobstah roll was buttery and packed with flavor, and the fish had a perfect crunch without being greasy. Bonus points: they even had malt vinegar for the fries! This is the closest to authentic New England seafood I've found in Nashville. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was clean and provided ample parking and seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was wonderful too--friendly and attentive. Definitely a great little seafood find in the city! read more

First time here after an even in East Nashville. Staff was great, very friendly. We had a group of 10 & we all enjoyed our food. Some for clam chowder & I got clam growder (clam chowder & grits) it was sooooo good. Most of us got different fish & chips & shrimp. We all enjoyed it. Tartar sauce & cole slaw was good too. What I liked most is that the fried fish wasn't oily. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

Boston commons is so underrated. I love this place!! Our waitress was super cool, I love when conversation comes naturally. Shout out to Emily. I got the Wedge Salad- holy moly this thing is huuuuge. It was so good. I got that and fish and chips. Way too much food for jsut me but I wanted a little bit of everything. Im still thinking about the salad though, it really stood out to me. The fish and chips of course was delicious as always. Also, their "rail" liquors are higher quality than a lot of other places. The rail gin is Ford's gin, which I think it pretty good. The rail whiskey was jack Daniels. read more

We stumbled upon this place last night and it was excellent! I had the shrimp and grits and they were likely the best I've ever had! My husband had the Cajun chicken pasta and absolutely loved it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We felt like we were in Boston!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will definitely be back! read more

Recommended by a friend. Did not disappoint. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Comfortable pub bar ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Made reservation and table ready upon arrival. I chose the traditional fish and chips. Excellent taste and portion. Wife had the lobster rolls excellent as well. Desert is a must. Cobbler outstanding - taste and portion. Oh, service perfect and friendly. Definitely look forward to returning and trying other selections. read more

Actually meet, greet and offer patron food and drinks that made reservations and were seated by the manager. Hard to leave a review on the food since we were never offered Anything after watching 3 other tables be seated, greeted, drink and appetizer orders taken while we stare at an empty table.. read more

Got their best-selling cod and chips. Coleslaw and their two yellow cake desserts! The fish had no taste whatsoever, and my dog wouldn't even take a bite. The slaw was flavorless as well, and the cake was old and dry! It was kept in the fridge for days and tasted like it! The French fries were delicious though. That was the best thing. Everything else was a waste of my money. Sorry I'm just being a jerk, but I want anyone else to read those reviews and be tricked into wasting their money as I was. read more

Why don't more people know about this place! Been coming here ever since it used to be battered and fried. Super fresh lobster rolls. We got one chilled and one warmed and they were both delicious!!

We went to Boston Commons for lunch March 4. It was bad. I had their "standard" fish and chips. It was somewhat "fishy" and the crust had a bad flavor. The selections are extremely limited. Questions are not received well. Prices are waaaayyyy too high!!!!! I will not be going back and will deter others from going there. They should remove "Boston" form their name, whereas, Boston has great seafood and and should not be associated with is place!!! --- John Walker read more

What a great spot in East Nashville. Know that they are known for Seafood, but if that's what you are up for then head on over. The Fish and Chips are the specialty. There are options: Cod, Haddock or Pollock. I went for the Haddock, British which means breaded in Guiness Beer Batter. Not a thing wrong with anything there! Fish was excellent, well cooked and loved the breading. Fries come in a little brown bag and were a good match. Husband had the Signature which is cod. Also very good. Friends split the Sampler and I must admit the Pub style (Pollock) was really good! Might need to try that next time and yes, there is a return trip soon! read more

Delicious! We ordered the Maine lobster roll, Cobb salad with poppy seed dressing, and the fish sampler that came with haddock, cod, and pollock. we got it to go and the fish remained crispy and fresh and wasn't overly oily which we appreciated. The lobster was so good, encased in a buttery roll. The salad was fresh and a good balance to the rest of the food. 10/10 recommend checking them out! read more

We were in the area to check out a boutique and decided to find a place to have a drink. Stumbled in here and had a wonderful experience! 2 of us had drinks of the seasonal menu. We weren't going to eat, but then we saw the amazing menu! Clam chowder was fabulous! Apple cobbler was homemade and yummy. We can't wait to go back and try out the full menu! read more

Great experience. Liked the lobster rolls and traditional fish and chips. Loved the brussel sprouts and cocktails. Of course we had the peach cobbler for dessert. First time. We plan to go back. read more

Outstanding! The food was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is very Irish pub like.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to Ireland so I can contest to that.The hostess and our waitress were the sweetest They even mixed my Jameson and Coke perfectly. My wife took me here for my birthday and I can't wait to go back. I highly suggest the variety of fish and chips and the deserts. Wish we had a pub like this in the Boro but Boston Commons is worth the drive. read more

Pretty good dinner here. The clam chowder was so thick you could eat it with a fork. It tasted great, so no complaints, but don't expect a "soup". The crab cake was pretty good but nothing special. Fried pick 3 plate was tasty, hot, and fresh. We especially enjoyed the clams. Coleslaw was fresh and a good palate cleanser. Cocktails left something to be desired but in all fairness this is more a beer type place that offers a few cocktails. If you're looking for a pub atmosphere with good food, go here. read more

Had the British fish and chips. Small portion of fish, batter was poor and chips were fries. Won't be back. Service was okay though.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Well this time it was so hot inside[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the lobster rolls were lacking meat disappointed

Service was good. Food was so so as I have had better fish in other places. Probably not coming back.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance and service was fine, but the food was lacking seasoning across the board.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Literally, not so much as a dash of salt on my fried fish, French fries, or fried shrimp. Portions were good, texture was great, nothing was oily, but without seasoning those accomplishments were not enough to save the food. read more

I love to share their sampler platter. It is so much food and allows you to try a lot of different things! I always have great service!

Boston Common's fish and chips selection is unrivaled. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While the service leaves much to be desired, the food is always good, the beer is always cold, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I find myself looking for a good meal with friends or family in town, this is always a solid choice on the East side before the night begins! read more

They try hard to accommodate every persons expectation of fried fish and chips. In so doing maybe a step or two is lost on the English version. The batter does not adhere to the fish very well. Perhaps I might suggest a flour dredge before the batter. Some chippies season their flour, some do not. It makes for a better eating experience when the batter does not slide off the fish. read more

we had the best time at Boston Commons. the food is incredible, service is top notch and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is so cozy and fun[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. the owner is a gem and Joseph was a pleasure to work with. if you're in Nashville you will not regret this spot! 12/10 recommend. and trust me...you Need to try the Boston cream pie. read more

We went here for lunch today. It was very good and better than I expected.[[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior is casual and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Moderate noise level.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is divided. The main dining area on one side and the bar area on the other side. They also have a cool patio area outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's moderately priced. The Lobster roll was a little pricey, so I skipped it for today.[[HIGHLIGHT]]There are plenty of TV's to watch a game on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There are 2 pay to park lots within 1 block of the restaurant. It cost us $9.00 to park for 1 hour and 15 minutes. I got the fish and chips sampler because I wanted to try 3 of the 4 pieces of fish that they offer.They were all great. The fries were cooked well and were tasty. My wife got the New England style fish as it isn't available on the sampler and she got a cup of Clam Chowder for a starter. Our server was Bailey and she was great. The Fish entrees were out to our table in about 20 minutes. Everything was hot and fresh. I can't say enough about the Fish. It's so good. I'm definitely going back. By the way- My favorite out of the 3 pieces I had was the Signature. Wow. All of the fish was cooked perfectly. read more

Bailey did an amazing job enough though it was obvious she was in the weeds. The whole staff seemed committed to providing great service.

This is a super chill, clean, lots of TVs sports bar with super friendly staff and pretty good food! On Wednesday's they have a friend oyster special I didn't love them too much but the cool looking fries that come in a brown paper bag with it made up for that. They have the most delicious Cajun chicken pasta, completely unexpected for a sports bar but super flavorful, the fish and chips were also pretty good. I'll definitely come back to this place. read more

Cute place. Although the menu reads like a nicer restaurant, it is more like a sports bar with a lot of TVs. Service was great- very friendly. Food was just okay. Chowder was so thick. It was more like gravy. Naked lobster roll was not that hot and felt like it was microwaved instead of cooked. Fries and mozzarella sticks were good though. Great outdoor patio. Maybe check it out and order something besides the chowder and naked lobster roll. read more

We have been going here for years. I can't remember the name before Boston Commons I think the name was battered and fried but yeah it's been several years. We always get the pasta which is soo good. You have the choice to get it to your liking which I enjoy it spicy. The service is always great and prompt. Parking can be an issue due to the busy 5 points neighborhood the restaurant is located in. read more
