This location was a lot of fun. We went here on a lazy Sunday. For a World Cup day, it was surprisingly quiet. The hostess said night time gets busier, but you can make reservations. The food was good for a beer hall and is was nice to have something to nosh on. I recommend the queso - not as good as you get in Texas, but pretty close. I would not get the poutine again - do my search for good poutine in MA continues. The beer is what you are there for other than vibe. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, so definitely ask for advice if you are not sure what to get. I can see this being in my rotation. read more

Great place especially if you're a brew aficionado. (I am not.) Went with some long-time friends for dinner. They are beer fans and they spent quite a while discussing the many thousands of options. The food was pretty good. Not overly-large-typically-American portions. I got the mac and cheese just cuz I like mac and cheese. Our apps were good too. The waitstaff is great. Very knowledgeable and polite. It's pretty loud there even though it's sort of an indoor/outdoor place. We sat inside but it was so nice out that they opened their bay (think garage) doors so the breeze could waft through. It ended up being a bit cold but was fine. This is a great dinner or happy hour restaurant. Highly recommend!!! read more

Friendly service and great bites. They also have trivia Thursday nights and that's always a blast. I've had lunch and dinner here and have also hosted an event here with 70+ people and folks had a fantastic time. Even for non-beer drinkers, they have hard seltzers and hard smoothies which are delicious. Recommended dishes that I've had: patatas bravas, aloo tiki, birria poutine, hummus, chicken tinga tostada, chips & guac, smash burger. Friends have had tacos and mac & cheese and said they were great. If you're catering an event, get the beef sliders - they were a favorite and truly delicious. Very accommodating. We had a few folks with dietary restrictions and they allowed us to bring in a couple dishes for those folks, though most of their menu had a ton of options for everyone else. They also helped us with managing drink tickets (they even had tickets for us to use!) and making sure folks weren't over-served. If you're looking to host a large/companywide event, this is a fantastic option. read more

Seated at a table, but didn't have any waitstaff approach for 20 minutes. It was a little busy, but not crazy. Finally flagged down a waitress who agreed to ONLY take our drink order. Ordered beers and waters. The waters never came. Apparently she's not taking food orders and didn't seem to notify someone who would. Giving up on food entirely, we just enjoyed our beers. Half way through the beers a waiter appeared and asked if we needed anything. We had been there for probably 45 minutes at this point. Finally got the water and just ordered some chips and guac, didn't want to make things too complicated at this point. Plus I figured I wasn't staying for another beer so wanted something that would come out fast to snack on with the remainder of my beer. I like the location. Beer is good, but more geared to IPA or sour beer lovers. Very few lager options. Food is really just ok, so I wouldn't come for dinner. I would rather order snack food to go with my beer when I'm there. Overall, some of the staff is super friendly, but it was a bit less organized than I would have liked. Love that they have outdoor seating. I'll be back for sure, this was hopefully just a one off bad experience. read more

I stopped for breakfast and had a pleasant experience. I ordered the shakshuka and an oat-milk chai latte, both were enjoyable. I also got the mango smoothie expecting it to be freshly blended, but it ended up being a bottled Naked drink. I should have read the menu better. My friend got the Dubai chocolate pancakes. The portion was on the smaller side, but they liked it. Overall, it is a nice place for a casual breakfast. read more

Thank you for coming to Arsenal Yards!!! What a nice edition to this family friendly area. My family and I have been pleasantly surprised by Mighty Squirrel and have visited this place many times. First, I love the ambiance of this place. It's so big and open. I love their outdoor space. I've only been here in the summer, so I'll be interested to see how they'll use their space in the wintertime. Second, the beers and other beverages are so yummy!!! I love that you can get small versions on most of the beers. I also love that they serve coffee and fresh juices. What a treat for any occasion. Their food is pretty good too ... especially their fish tacos. They are craveable and better than most taco places!!! I do wish, however, they had some flatbread options. That would really make this place amazinggggg!!! And last and most importantly, their service is impeccable. They get pretty busy but have always tried to accommodate seating. I also superrrrr appreciate that they are baby/toddler/kid friendly. Like ... so patient and no dirty looks. You'd be surprised how many places automatically judge you when they see a stroller pull up. This really makes this place shine and stand out cuz honestly, who needs a a drink with a nice vibe more than moms and dads of kiddos. read more

Came here for some drinks and food with a small group of friends, and it was everything we were hoping for with a brewery. The inside is spacious enough that you can find seating and not feel crammed. It's also family friendly, making it an easy spot for groups of all ages to meet. There's a wide range of beer and other drinks that everyone found something they enjoyed. For food, the menu was a little limited compared to other breweries Ive been to, but anything we ordered tasted good. Few folks got the smash burger which they enjoyed the blend of flavors. I got the chicken tinga tostadas the were tasty and filled leaving me satisfied. Id say it felt more like wonton cups filled with chicken, veggies, and guac - still delicious. We also ordered the chips and guac and birria poutine - the fries were crispy and depending on if you like poutine it was a hit. Theres also igloos you can reserve online which looked fun. The best part of this location is that there is ample food around arsenal yards if you arent feeling the menu here, and easy parking parking. The staff was also very friendly and accommodating, especially given that we had a toddler with us. We would definitely come back to this location. read more

Pretty good beer selection and relatively good food. Big outdoor seating area. Nice option at Arsenal Yards.

They have done a great job since changing the format. I loved the food trucks but they moved to their own truck. The first few weeks were brutal but now it's great. They added a lot of staff and things are much better. My favorite weekend hangout. read more

What a delightful addition to Arsenal Yards. After years as a pop up there, Mighty Squirrel took the leap and opened up a tap room. Lots of outdoor and indoor space. Brewery vibe. Tons of options on tap. They even do coffee and food! We got the mango lassi sour and the prickly pear sour. Generous pour, in a funky looking glass. I had the mango lassi, which I think had a slightly higher alcohol content than the prickly pear sour. It was also notable that it had lactose, which is interesting, and offset the sour just a little. The birria poutine was a fabulous fusion. Super creative and delicious. My other fav were the sliders. Liked the touch of crunchy bacon. read more

Nice addition of a second open brewpub to Arsenal Yards. Very friendly and attentive bartenders/servers. Food just ok. Prefer the original spot in Waltham, but happy to have a second one in driving distance. read more

Although it says it is a brewery, it does have food. I don't drink beer, but I was happy with the strawberry daiquiri that apparently comes in a can. (The menu says it is gluten-free. I had no idea there was gluten in a daiquiri, so it was educational, too.) Unfortunately, they do not sell the cans of daiquiris. They do sell cans of their beer. The food was tasty. I had the lamb lollipops. A little on the salty side, but nicely cooked and for 4 lollipops it was a good price (these days at least). My friend's mac and cheese was smooth, cheesy, and tasty. As a bonus, there is a free parking garage directly across the courtyard. I look forward to better weather so we can eat on the patio. A caveat: it is loud. read more

Fattoush salad is not the real fattoush salad but it taste really good as refreshing green salad with full of tangy and zesty flavors read more

Brought some family here. Was excited to see outdoor seating and the international menu. Unfortunately the food and service were mostly disappointing. - When we arrived to the restaurant, we were the only people at the check in desk. 2-3 people came to the desk to grab something, didn't say anything and then walked away. The place inside was mostly empty. - Finally someone came to bring us to a requested table outside, but had us circle around the whole perimeter to find one. It was pretty comical. He gave up in the end, until one of us suggested a table. - once the plates were served, there wasn't a mention of what each was, so we didn't always know who to pass the plate to. The first server we asked walking by didn't know. - Aside from the Birria and Baja fish tacos, the flavors were off on each tapa plate we tried. Like a tourist take on the recipes of various cultures. On the plus side, the outdoor vibe was great, so added a star for that. And there was at least 1 server of the ~5 who helped us who was great. read more

Mighty squirrel makes one of my favorite hazy and juicy IPAs, Cloud Candy. Their small plates are a nice pairing with whatever drink you get. The staff are always super friendly and share their beer insights when asked. Great local place with summer outside seating as well! read more

Very much enjoyed our experience visiting the Mighty Squirrel yesterday and so glad we discovered this place! The beers are great, around the world inspired tapas were delicious, and overall excellent service. The owner Naveen also came by to ensure everything was good, and was very kind and friendly. Outdoor seating was lively and overall fun ambience. Highly recommend visiting the Mighty Squirrel! read more

Went here for breakfast. Not a lot of people, Place was very nice and clean. However the service was less than stellar. Placed three different food orders. One order was a French Toast Bagel. Server forgot the bagel, the other orders came out at different times. I asked server about bagel, he forgot, when he brought the bagel to table 10 minutes later, it was not the bagel I ordered, he improvised because they were out of what I ordered..I mean why not come to the table and tell me you were out of what I ordered? I left and got a donut in Boston. Definitely not a place to go for breakfast. read more

Excellent beer and apps Service was spot on !!! Bought a t shirt and collectors glass. read more

We love Mighty Squirrel beer, and the location is great. The patio is lovely. However, the service was scattershot; we seemed to fall between the cracks multiple times over the course of the evening. (They offer a kids cheeseburger but left the cheese off -- TWICE -- before a server told us they were out of cheese.) Also, the menu feels much too ambitious -- lots of "international" options, all of which were undercooked and underseasoned. We appreciate the brewery's efforts to expand their food options, but they spread themselves too thin here. Perhaps a smaller menu closer to the chefs' expertise would be better. read more
