Melt in your mouth! That's what happened at Mainley Burgers. It was right off the grill, soft potato bun and just the right amount of cheese (and ketchup) for deeply bites! Super close to Roadrunner and the track at New Balance. I also had a few fries and a vanilla frappe. They were OK but the burger was the clear cut winner. Lost points: the decor is becoming haggard. Wood circles falling off the counter wall, paint chipped off the walls and some gathered upholstery. Needs a little love. The cashier taking out order accommodated our need for some to go food and times it perfectly to be ready as we were leaving. We had some volleyball players awaiting their lunch. She coordinated it quite well and we appreciate that! True score: 3.75 read more

Another mediocre, high priced burger joint that nobody needs. However, when you are stuck at a hockey tournament in Brighton, there aren't many options. You can shoot the works and drop a few hundi at The Stockyard ... or have Ellios-worthy flatbreads. This place offered a burger option, so I tried it. Right off the bat ... this was one of the blandest burgers I've ever had. No seasoning at all. The fries were also bland. Seriously, how hard is it to shake some seasoning onto what you are cooking to somewhat differentiate it from the paper it is wrapped in? The mushrooms were canned and watery. The swiss cheese was barely present and almost liquified ... not gooey and stringy, like I had hoped. The burger was an absolute fucking mess to eat. It was a sloppy, drippy falling apart mess. The burger was literally in pieces, likely due to some grill mishapp. It's a smash burger style but this looks like after the smashing, a ninja then chopped it up. After taking away the blandness with ketchup, mustard and secret sauce housed in crusty communal squeeze bottles, I was wearing as much of the burger as I was swallowing. And after eating a burger and fries, I wasn't even experiencing that 'Shake Shack' level of satisfied. I could have eaten more. Judging by how few people were in here on a Saturday during a busy hockey tournament, I don't expect this place to last. It has a 5 guys kind of vibe inside at 25% higher prices and 50% less flavour. The restaurant also seemed kind of dirty and not clean. There were things laying everywhere behind the counter and the communal condiment bar looked like it hadn't been wiped down in days. Would I return? Nope. Flavorless burgers at premium prices in a restaurant whose concept I just don't really get just doesn't do it for me. read more

Ordered takeout from here as a meal while we watched a movie nearby. We each got a burger and shared an order of fries. The burgers were a good size and I enjoyed the flavors of The Beast burger. I wanted to highlight the fries here though! Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture. I'm very particular about my fries and prefer to be more potato-y and softer and these fries fit exactly that. They were also seasoned very well. I loved them and would come back just for the fries! read more

Mainely Burgers - The Beast - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Wanted some food on a cold afternoon and this place looked warm and friendly. I love the state of Maine. Been going there for many years, so I had to try this place. It has lots to choose from like burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, salads, chicken tenders. Then there's French fries, onion rings and you place your order and get it when ready. The restaurant is small but very cozy. Nothing fancy but I liked the decor on the walls. Maine theme with like boats and water in black and white on the wall. Very cool! I ordered a chicken sandwich with onion rings. Both were very good. My friend had chicken nuggets, that comes with French fries. That was good too. Would recommend if you are in the area. Glad I found it. read more

First and foremost, I want to thank the working staff for being very awesome and cool people. Very hospitable and genuine. Which is why it agonizes me to blemish their place of occupation as follows. $18 for a burger and fries. Before tax. Single smash patty, no bev, unfortunately mid. What has happened to us. To our lives as we know it. Somebody needs to take a stand. Somebody needs to do something. Anything. May God have mercy on our souls. read more

Enjoyed my lunch here. I ordered the Chicken Tender Basket which came with french fries and 4 tenders. We also got an order of onion rings to split. The tenders didn't come with a sauce, so when I asked for one, I was told they only had bbq or a chipotle mayo. This was a little disappointing as I expected honey mustard or something. I ended up using the chipotle mayo which was good. They have ketchup near the utensils but not what I usually use for chicken tenders. Sauce aside the chicken tenders and fries were good. The beer-battered onion rings were really good, but they didn't give a lot for the price. They come with the chipotle mayo which paired nicely. Overall I liked the food and the Maine theme but almost $40 for small portions was a lot. Would eat here again if in the area. read more

Was pretty good! My friend and I both got the spicy, but we couldn't taste any spice. We are both Asian so maybe it is white people spice level. The burgers were still good and my friend said her veggie burger was great. The truffle fries were amazing and we also got thick shakes! A perfect place to eat if you are going to Roadrunner! read more

Today I found my new quick go to burger spot. The burgers were so delicious and affordable. Service is so quick and the staff is friendly. The cajun fries are a must!!

Always have fun and tasty burger specials. They are not that busy but they absolutely should be. This is my go to local spot!!!

TL;DR High quality burgers but too pricey for what you get. I ordered Mainely Burgers on Grubhub because they had an offer of 35% off your order. We were going to eat locally, but I thought this made it a decent deal. I ordered the Mainah while my boyfriend got the Coop. We also split an order of truffle fries. I believe this originally would have been $25. The Mainah was really good. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. The toppings were good but relatively tasteless. I got this to go, and when I ate it about 15 minutes later everything was soggy. The bun was falling apart and the apples lost their crunch. I tried my boyfriends burger and it was much better with the fried egg and again cooked perfectly. The truffle fries ($4.25) were good but soggy. They don't have size options. I also thought based on photos they would come with cheese but they only come with truffle oil. Their condiments also cost extra so I had to use the extra mayo from my burger. We demolished our burgers so they were definitely good, but definitely not worth the $9.25+tax. If you do come here make sure to eat in, because everything would have been better fresh. I will also say based on ordering online it appears that they take allergies seriously which is great! read more

I'm not a big fan of burgers, but decided to check out this place. It's a new location and in a neighborhood where parking is much easier than driving into Boston, phew. We ordered the Shroom' & Swiss burger with a double veggie patty. It came, as the name suggests, with sauteed mushrooms and swiss cheese, along with lettuce, tomato, and house sauce. The veggie patty was unlike any I've tried in the U.S. It's a green patty (usually it's always black bean or at the most sweet potato), so it felt great to try something different. While it was tasty, I feel it lacked salt. However, you can make up for it with the various sauces. So I didn't mind! This way, it is more accessible to those who prefer a low salt intake. We ordered the parmesan fries as a side. The fries were crispy but I could have done with a lot more parmesan, haha. The ambiance is pretty sunny and open. Quite a lot of seats and no wait time. You order at the counter and the food is ready in minutes. Pro tips - 1: Free parking on the street. 2: Check out the Boston mural on their wall. 3. So many burger options, they also have temporary specials - check out the far right menu board. 4: If you get their veggie patty, ask them to top it with some Sriracha! read more

The burgers are so good. Can get a little messy but they have bathrooms. The menu was kind of restricting because I always end up getting the beast but makes it easier to choose. The frappes are huge but wish they had whipped cream. They usually give you the mixing cup and another cup for the shake. Staff are friendly and the music is like stuff you would hear at Johnny Rockets. The seats remind me of five guys. They have cups for water and you can just go up to refill. It's pretty empty when I go there too. I feel like the music changed a little and the fries are thicker. Still no whipped cream. And they switched to a smaller plastic cup. read more

They did not text me when my food was ready, the bottom of my burger was soggy and there was mold. My friend ordered a bottled water and they didn't have it and didn't refund her. Overall it wasn't inedible but def not worth $15 for one burger read more

Wow! Outstanding burger in the middle of Boston? Everything cooked to perfection with friendly service. Was there for a concert and got served quick. Fries were way better than five guys. Real fries crisp on the outside and not greasy. Comfortable and clean eating area. read more

the regular burgers were alright the meat wasn't seasoned so the star of the burgers are definitely the toppings. I don't recommend going here if you want a plain burger. They're probably more well known for their speciality burgers although I wasn't too keen on any of them. The cajun fries were really good! very seasoned and flavorful. their fries were crispy or soggy and were a perfect medium. read more

The burger was horribly tasteless, which is hard to do for a burger. The patty was bland and the other ingredients surprisingly didn't help. I also didn't get the drink I ordered. Never, ever ordering from here again. read more

Tasty burgers and chicken sandwiches! Ordered takeout and food was ready quick and on time. Understandably since I ordered takeout by the time I got home to eat, some of the edges of bottom buns were soggy from the sauce. To that point, these burgers were juicy! Ordered different varieties and all were good combos of sauces and toppings. Don't be afraid to swap out the beef patty for chicken patty -- usually I'd think the chicken patty is dry and tasteless, but here the grilled chicken was flavorful, very peppery but I liked it. The buffalo cauliflower was also good, not too spicy which I prefer but if you like super spicy this might not hit the spot. The Brussels sprouts were good, flavor is there but the sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. And onion rings were alright -- I was expecting them to look bigger as pictured on the website but they are pretty standard thinner onion rings. I would come again! read more

Ordered the MB classic and onion rings for takeout. The burger with the potato bun was simple and delicious. The onion rings (while pretty pricey) were some of the most delicious ones I've had. The batter had great flavor. The spicy mayo for dipping (that's how we do it in Maine!) was great, too. read more

The burgers and fries were amazing. (Seriously, the Maine-ah is a gem.) The stars are for the ambiance, which left everything to be desired. 1. Took forever to get someone to take our order, despite the place being completely empty. 2. The music was turned up to eleven (and on a Spotify channel blaring ads every three songs). 3. The manager took a call on speaker and sat at a table to talk until another customer came in. He then stayed on the call(!) while he took her order. ‍ Honestly, guys. Could be a great lunch stop, but I can't imagine chancing the trip only to find that atmosphere again. read more

Drove by almost everyday and decided to give it a shot. I love to give new business a chance and taste. It was pretty quiet at 11:30am , walked in and greeted by a pleasant young gentleman. Broke down the menu for us and we decided to order the avengers special and the beast veggies both medium. The cashier brought the food over to our table and it looks appealing. Once we bit into the burger meat it actually surprised me that it's flavorful and juicy enough . We also ordered the truffle fires which was crispy and good. So far everything is good but a little up there with the pricing. read more

On par with Wahlburgers. Mediocre and expensive. Fast casual burger joint hailing from Maine trying to break into the burger industry against the likes of Five Guys, Burger Fi, Shake Shack etc who do it better. $16.25 for a Mainah burger (apple slices, bacon, cheese, sauteed onions, maple mayo), brussel sprouts, and soda. I also got lettuce, onion, tomato on my burger and a side of spicy Thai mayo. I ordered my burger medium rare and got it well done unfortunately. The brussel sprouts we're crispy but oh so greasy. Each bite was a burst of grease in my mouth. My fellow diners ordered the beast beef burger with an egg and it was a hard Sunny side up sadly. The veggie burger was a green patty of mush, flavorful by itself but tasteless mess in the coop (pickled onions, spicy mayo, egg). The chicken burger was small but the chicken breast was still moist. Their fries are interesting. They're crispy and kinda hollow. The truffle version they toss the fries in light truffle oil and they come very shiny. An expensive mediocre burger with mediocre sides. They don't have the rhubarb drink here like they do at the Central location. read more

Hot Garbage. Guys, if you're going to offer a Steak and Cheese sub for over 12 bucks, at least put it on a decent sub roll not two hot dog buns. And what is all this yellow stuff that this thing is completely saturated in? Cause that ain't cheese. read more

This burger spot is a rip off. I ordered two burgers and mozzarella sticks with a drink and was charged 41 dollars. When the food came out they ended up also charging me for fries and two drinks. The food was average at best. Don't waste your time going here. Better off going to a grocery store, making your own burger and half cooking it. It will taste better. Hope this helps people make better choices about the lunch spots they spend their money on. read more

I remember seeing the food truck up in Portland but didnt have time to give it a try. Now I can sit and enjoy their food, which I much prefer. Service, food, and atmosphere are very good. They use high quality ingredients so the prices reflect that. Keep in mind that the burgers can get a bit soggy and messy near the last few bites so have those napkins ready. read more

Got the veggie patty on a salad. Good amount of avocado which was nice. Patty was good, big, seemed homemade. Will ask for well done next time since I think it will be better like that. Veggie patty seemed a little on the oily side, too. Meant to order Brussels sprouts but hit the cauliflower button by mistake but no biggie since I like cauli. Cauli could have had a little more flavor and was definitely a bit oily. Will definitely try the sprouts next time. Just a little underwhelmed for a roughly $20 lunch to go. read more

I frequent the Boston Landing area on a daily basis, so I've been waiting for this place to open. I've never been to the Central Sq location, so I can't compare between the two, but I highly enjoyed my Mainah burger; I'm glad to know when it comes time to any Cambridge cravings. Fresh, inviting - Mainely Burgers itself feels like it has just enough local charm with its mural just for this spot. The restaurant feels pretty spacious with enough large group seating and smaller tables that I could bring an impromptu group. The Mainah is just some flavors I really like all packaged together. Its crisp, thin-sliced green apple gives you a nice flavor change from the rest of the sweet onions and mayo on top of the juicy patty. Though honestly, I'm not sure if it was the onions, but my burger was dripping into my wrapper even before I took it out of the tray. It's really not an experience in my mind if you don't get a bit messy, but just food for thought. Staff also ask you how well you would like your meat cooked - so there's room for customization. We also split a side order for their classic fries - which were the full experience, skin on, just thick enough for steak-frites level. A personal point of happiness is that they offer glass bottles of Maine Root soda, which is much better than having a Maine Root soda machine I've seen in other Boston-area Maine food eateries. Washing everything down with a blueberry Maine Root soda is the only right way to end a meal here. I'm glad there's a little touch of Maine here and I know where to go to get my soda fix too. Definitely want to try some of the other sides like brussel sprouts to taste the whole offerings here. read more

No lie, this place was pretty dope. Came in looking for a tasty burger and cool vibes, and I found just that. Pretty standard menu and was not disappointed by the food. You can ruin a burger pretty easily, but this place did not. My girlfriend got the hotdog and it looked straight outa ballpark photo add type of dog. I mean I though they had pulled something out of Fenway Park and given it to her. The fries were like golden crunchy perfection. Dip that ish in the readily available ketchup (found at any table) and you're set. The place was immaculately clean. Felt like I was dirtying it up just by breathing. The bathrooms were so nice, and there was even a large black metal container that wasn't scary at all in the men's room. Like I wasn't worried it contained things it shouldn't at all. Free street parking was easy to find, which was a nice relief after the stresses of finding parking in Boston. So much room street parking I could've taken a nap out there and not bothered anyone. read more

This was very disappointing. For the same price of 10 McDonalds cheeseburgers and fries (and I could have gotten a better burger and sides that I'd walk away happy with!).
