    A hefty burger for a pretty outrageous price. I got the Double Trouble (+ a second patty, $5 more) and a side of fries. The burger was definitely sizable, packed with beef, and had a great meat flavor overall (especially the charred bits near the edges). The burger came as-shown with no vegetables. You can request for lettuce on the side. For a price of $35, it was truly Newbury St prices...there are better options for sure

    Buffalo Chicken Fries
    Terra B.

    Food was on point, tasted very good. No complaints in that area what so ever. The wings I got, some were extremely small, felt like a rip off. The buffalo fries tasted good with the sauce but without the sauce the chicken was a bit unseasoned. Overall, good service and will return.

    Double trouble burger, but make it spicy chicken sandwhich, buffalo loaded fries, i'm crazy for cookies shake

    One of the most outstanding burgers I've had in a longgg time! This underground spot on Newbury serves up elevated diner food bringing both a sense of comfort and delight when enjoying their crazy good, unique creations! I tried the spicy chicken sandwich, loaded buffalo fries, cookie monster shake, and their cheeseburger, the last of which definitely stole the show! The burger patty was juicy and tender with a delicious salty flavor that melded together perfectly with the creamy cheese. All the toppings were tasty and harmonious while not overpowering the patty itself and the bun was like biting into a cloud, fluffy and supportive of the overall bite. I will admit, after being so impressed with their burger (which to be fair is their specialty), I wasn't the biggest fan of the fries which were tasty on their own but a little too rich with all the toppings, and the chicken sandwich was honestly dry and I wish it had more flavor. Additionally, their shake, while definitely tasty, didn't blow me away. So, generally, I'd say if you're going here for a burger, it's definitely worth the trip!! The portion sizes are generous even despite the pricier menu (and for Boston on Newbury St, it's very good!). Also, the cozy yet vibrant vibes add a nice touch of joy and a feeling casual celebration to the table. The service matches this energy with their kind and friendly yet efficient and professional demeanor. Overall the experience dining here is one to remember for both the tasty comfort food and the fun atmosphere. I'd recommend bringing friends or family and getting a couple dishes to share!

    I highly recommend the milkshakes! The food is ok, but the milkshakes are where it's at. I ordered the I'm Crazy for Cookie Dough milkshake and it was one of the best milkshakes I've ever had. The flavor is pure perfection. We also ordered chicken tenders and wings to share. They were good but the milkshakes outshined them.

    Sweet and spicy fries

    Found this place while just heading down Newbury street heading to Newbury comics. I'm so happy that I did. It was pouring out and I was soaking wet and hungry. Tried the sweet and spicy fries, and they were wicked awesome! I'm a real culinary expert so I paired my fries with an ice cold Angry Orchard and it hit the spot. I'm definitely putting this place on my "must come back soon or life is not with living list" Next time I'm going to try one of those amazing looking burgers!

    Sweet and spicy fries with 'merica style burger with gluten free bun

    I'd been wanting to try out CGK for the longest time and if I was purely rating their food, it would honestly be closer to 4-4.5 stars. However, I think the service that my friends and I experienced really negatively impacted our meal here. To start off on the positives, CGK is a fun, casual restaurant where they offer typical burgers, fries, wings/tenders, and shakes with unique twists! There was a decent amount of seating and I think it's a great spot to catch up with friends over some comfort food. Their menu is easily accessible with a barcode and the atmosphere was lively, but not overwhelmingly noisy! In terms of food, I ended up getting a regular burger, but I specifically requested a gluten-free bun and allergy flag to avoid cross-contamination since I have celiac. My friends ordered burgers as well (without any accommodations) and we decided to split a side of sweet and spicy fries (clearly listed as gluten-free on their menu). The portion of their fries is pretty impressive and easily shareable between 2-3 people. The sweet and spicy flavors were really well done - both the spicy mayo and honey sauces really shone through and you're also able to sample some of their chicken tender bites topped on top of the fries. In fact, I enjoyed the fries side even more than my burger - which was juicy and cooked to my preferred temperature, but didn't really stand out at all. My friends also ordered a side of wings to share, though I didn't try that and can't comment. I was really disappointed with our specific server because she acted incredibly dismissive about my serious food allergy, even though I had wanted to come here specifically because I'd heard great reviews about CGK accommodating food allergies! I probably spent almost 5 minutes just trying to get across the fact that I had a serious gluten allergy, which meant that I wanted to make a gluten-free bun modification to my order, and I also wanted to make sure my specific order was flagged with an "allergy." Our server seemed like she was *very* uncertain about how to address my requests and instead of asking someone else for help or even just letting us know that she has to double check the guidelines, she basically brushed off my concerns - at first saying that my order "would be prepared separately" without even putting in my gluten-free bun request, and then when we politely asked if she could repeat our orders just to quickly double check, she was still missing the note about gluten allergy. Needless to say, I felt very anxious the entire time there since she didn't give me a lot of confidence in her ability to handle my allergy. I understand that it can be incredibly busy during dinner hours but the fact that she was struggling with even basic requests for a serious allergy, and that she didn't even bother checking with someone else or asking for help if she really felt like she couldn't handle it, left a really bad impression on our entire table. Despite all the positive review, I'm honestly a bit hesitant to be back - at least because of my allergy. If you don't have any food allergies though, would definitely be a great spot to try out on Newbury!

    Yum yum yum. I've been to two locations which the food is still yum just different environment. Newbury location feels like a Dungeon- very tight but they have a little patio if available Malden location is like a take out looking shack. Fries are Large portions good enough for 2people

    Chicken tenders

    Cute little spot in the Back Bay Area on a street full of restaurants. Good chicken. Quick service. Friendly staff. I would definitely visit again.

    Diet Coke (~$3)

    Ordered: Oklahoma Style Burger (~$14): charred onions with a beef patty smashed right over the top, and made double, American cheese, yellow mustard Sweet & Spicy Fries (~$14): spicy fries drizzled with hot honey topped with spicy chicken tenders tossed on hot honey and drizzle with better than ketchup sauce Diet Coke (~$3) Aya's take: We found ourselves at CGK since we wanted something fairly quick to eat that would also be satisfying and filling. Off the bat, I would highly recommend the Sweet & Spicy Fries. They were crispy, spicy, sweet, and just the perfect harmony of greasy goodness flavors. It could've used some pickles to cut through some of the fat and saltiness. The Oklahoma Style Burger was decent but the taste of onions and yellow mustard completely overpowered it. Most of the onions weren't charred (just sautéed) and along with the yellow mustard, it didn't mesh well together. The bun was super soft and fresh, and the beef patties were juicy and well-seasoned. Loved the Sweet & Spicy Fries but the Oklahoma Style Burger didn't hit the spot as I hoped it would.

    Mango milkshake to go!
    Aurélie W.

    We randomly decided to stop since the ambiance was so nice and they had a two person table out on the patio. We got a hot mess burger but since it comes with shave beef we opted for a single patty and got the truffle fries to lighten the load. Our server, Debra was so attentive and great, she recommended the mango milkshake and she wasn't wrong! Prices are high but you get a lot of food. We took the shake to go since we were stuffed! Really glad we stopped here, will definitely be back!

    Wicked good burger. Juicy and great GF buns. The sauce and smashed onions directly into the burger were a nice touch on a classic burger. The GF tenders were delicious with the garlic parm being a garlic butter rather than a creamy sauce which was much preferred

    Is that possible to have 15 persons?

    i think it's possible, but will be a tight squeeze and possible taking over the restaurant.

    Does this location permit puppies inside a carrier?

    Pros: The warm…read morelobster roll was tasty, buttery, and generously filled. My only gripe is that it comes with a bag of chips rather than French fries, which are standard at many lobster roll spots. Given the price point, fries would have felt more appropriate. The whole fried black bass with ponzu and cilantro, served with steamed rice, was excellent. You'll need to be comfortable navigating bones, but as Asians who grew up eating whole fish, that wasn't an issue for us. The fish was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and one of the standout dishes of the meal. The fried Ipswich clams appetizer was also delicious. The batter was light, crisp, and seasoned perfectly without overwhelming the clams themselves. As for the ambiance, it felt like a blend of boho Miami chic and Tulum--bright, airy, and filled with soft pastel tones. A beautiful space for lunch. Cons: Unfortunately, both the Spring Crab Carbonara and Lobster Fra Diavolo missed the mark. While each dish was generous with crab and lobster meat, the pasta itself was a disappointment. Bucatini should have a firm, al dente bite. Instead, both plates arrived noticeably overcooked and soggy. No one orders bucatini expecting mush swimming in garlic tomato sauce. Beyond the texture issue, both pasta dishes lacked something. Call it zest, depth, or that certain je ne sais quoi, but neither dish delivered much flavor. Dare I say they were somewhat bland. At $38 and $45 respectively, that was particularly disappointing. Service was equally underwhelming. Despite having a 12:45 p.m. reservation, the hostess seated us at a four-top closest to the kitchen. There were numerous vacant four-top tables in more desirable locations throughout the dining room, yet we were placed there. We didn't complain, but all of us wondered, "Why this table?" Our server, Christy L., was adequate but hardly memorable. As visitors from Los Angeles, we've grown accustomed to servers making a little conversation--asking what brings you to town, offering recommendations, or simply establishing some rapport. Christy's interaction amounted to, "Hi, I'm your server. What can I get you?" and little else. She rarely checked back and never made much effort to engage. Because of that, we didn't feel the suggested gratuity options of 20%, 25%, or 30% on the payment screen were warranted. We left a standard 18% tip. Bottom Line: If you're craving excellent fried clams or a good lobster roll, this place is worth a visit. Beyond those items, however, there are plenty of restaurants that offer stronger culinary execution, more attentive and personable service, and equally attractive surroundings.

We also spent an hour at the King Tut exhibit across the street! This restaurant/bar always seems packed. And, with reservations for 645pm (highly recommend) the bar was quite busy. The buzz from this high-end cocktail bar is exactly what you want on a Friday evening; From girlfriends sipping their wine to couples laughing and swirling their cocktails, Moon Bar is for the classy and sexy. Abby our server is excellent! A mixologist who knows all the cocktails and can recommend based on your preference. I tried one of their new cocktails with bourbon and did not care for it. Abby made me my mezcal drink that I have ordered before...its the 305 cowboy, an extremely popular drink. A must try for sure! Note: Some bartenders make you feel guilty for saying something about a drink you ordered and did not like. But, here at Moon Bar, Abby was so gracious to make me something that I will enjoy. Hats off to her:) Food: Since it was restaurant week we just shared everything. For starters we ordered the Tuna Tartare that was excellent. Then, we had Piri-Piri Chicken Thighs that were also good but quite spicy. For dessert, we shared the Caribbean Tiramisu, which was great. It was a tough choice between this and the Guava Cheesecake. We were so full that we ended up bringing home leftovers. Oh, I also forgot to mention we always order their Curry Fries - a must try when coming here Trust Me. My husband doesn't love curry but he loves these fries and you will too. #friesaretodiefor Moon Bar, thanks for being amazing in every way.

In advance, I stopped into the hotel to confirm that a gluten-free guest could be accommodated and was assured this would be handled. In reality, the accommodation was inadequate and, at times, unacceptable. While the rest of us were served scones, my stepdaughter was given cut fruit in their place, and told that was all they had to accommodate.The dessert course consisted of what appeared to be basic gluten-free cookies, misrepresented as something more gourmet - egg nog cookies??? This lack of preparation was both disappointing, upsetting and avoidable. The broader experience was equally concerning. We were subjected to an unsolicited and uncomfortable "lesson" on tea service, which detracted from what should have been a relaxed and celebratory occasion. While trying to enjoy the time with the girls, being a lifelong tea drinker and someone who has been to many times at your establishment and its various incarnations, this is something I have never experienced. The food quality was poor (scones were clearly reheated and stuck to the cloth napkin they were wrapped in), and there were notable service lapses, including being served water in a visibly shattered glass. Additionally, when hot water was added to refresh the tea, my stepdaughter's pot curdled and had to be replaced. It was especially disappointing, as I mentioned that I had stopped in and spoken with the concierge, and was assured, as they had called the kitchen while I stood there that they readily accommodated gluten-free. There are numerous places in the city that could have done this, and if you had just told me that you could not do so, I would have booked us elsewhere. I chose not to raise the multiple issues in the moment so as not to disrupt what was meant to be a special day for the girls and me. However, the total cost exceeded $500, and the experience did not come close to justifying that price point! Do not recommend.
