    Quincy's Place in the basement at Faneuil Hall Marketplace 3/2014
    Vivian C.

    Quincy's Place is located under the Faneuil Hall Market Place cupola at basement level with an entrance/exit flight of stairs at either end of the space. Ice cream shop and candy store all wrapped up in one, it is hard to realize that they also sell food-food. That is, if you consider hamburgers and french fries as such. Heh. Whether eating in or getting take-out or ringing up a selection of their candies, you order and pay at the cash register by the center of the floor. Fortunately there was a sign posted, otherwise I'd have no idea. I ordered their Half off at the Hall deal (a February and March special) - Hamburger, Fries & Drink Combo for $5.50 (reg. $11) - which seemed a good deal till I noticed a sign posted on the cash register stating that it includes the Kids cheeseburger, which is listed as $5.95 on their menu vs the $7.95 1/4 lb Faneuil Burger, which when you add the $2.95 fries & fountain drink option to any sandwich would round up the to $11 stated regular price. Yup, I felt a bit tricked. Having patiently waited 10 going on 15 minutes seated at one of their tables, I wondered if perhaps I was supposed to wait at the counter for my order? Nope, they'd deliver. But then my burger popped out of the kitchen before I left the counter after my inquiry. The burger patty itself was okay sized, but nestled within the rather plump seeded roll, it seemed small in comparison. The texture of the patty seemed more pasty than ground, but I could still taste the beefy flavor. The fries resembled the thin cut lengths of McDonald's, but needed a hit of salt. Not bad for $5.50. Not quite worth it at $9. So $11? Nah. Initially, I was going to give them bonus points for cleanliness, as I watched the two staff members wiping and dusting when the teen candy crowd died down. But then I noticed the lady using the same Swiffer along the ledge under the candies that was previously wiped along the floor.

    My mom and I tried this place out tonight. Nobody was there when we went in - we ordered 2 burgers with 1 order of fries. Everything was very hot and very fresh. The burger meat was a little thick for our taste but it was still very good. By the time we left - there were probably about 15 people in there getting candy and ice cream.

    Think I need to talk to Quincy! I saw Quincy's Place beautifully described in a Faneuil Hall Market guide. I saw a few positive reviews here on Yelp, one stating that it was EASILY the best in burgers, fries and shakes. And then the Andrew Jackson and friends I handed over in payment for my meal to be left me with anticipation for a simply straightforward good diner breakfast. For whatever reason, I just had to try the place. The place was quiet; I imagine I was the first customer of day, arriving shortly after opening. Blame me for going without the ambiance of a buzzing crowd but it should have afforded me particular care and service. I didn't know what I was gonna have but figured I'd start with coffee and was pointed to a self serve dispenser, surrounded by paper cups, plastic wear, and sugar packets. Something about this disappointed me. Felt like a fast food restaurant I guess. Ready for breakfast, I asked about an omelet as I picked up a menu, to which attendant responded, "We're not really an omelet place but I can make you one if you'd like." However, I looked past a few breakfast sandwiches and ordered the lLumberjacks breakfast which seemed to sample the entire menu. Not sure about you but when you attach lumberjack to the name of something, I imagine a hefty plate, suitable for a hungry lumber hacking Jack! I thought I mighta been getting ahead of myself, having an "easily the best burger" ordered on standby for when I finished my breakfast but shortly arriving at the counter was a platter managing a preformed hash brown patty (I hoped it would've been shredded and grilled), a brown'n'serve sausage patty, two unbuttered, uncut, barley toasted slices of wheat bread, and maybe two eggs that were beaten and seemingly fried (I ordered them scrambled soft and now wondering what this omelet would have looked like.)- all sheltered by a plastic fork and knife. My pancakes were right beside it on a disposable plate and was accompanied by two butters and a packet of syrup. They were slightly undercooked with their peanut-butter-like gooey center. Next was the burger, which I ordered medium well. I didn't really look at the menu but he didn't inform me of the near impossibility of my request seeing that the burgers were quarter pounders. Well, I figured this out myself once I finally foraged my burger patty buried in the forest of lettuce and tomato consumed bya sesame seed bun. I was glad to have been reintroduced to the sesame seed bun; it's been a while. So, Quincy, I'm not impressed, nor pleased. It wasn't just the microwave ready breakfast or the Dixie plates it was served on. Kinda felt like the dorm room I never had and the experience wasn't rescued by some great food. I could've have done better with my money. I cut some slack figuring that it was easier on the guy who took my order took my money and cooked my food if he didn't have to wash too many dishes but... Then I thought that maybe it's admirable that he's working his way through school until I found out he already graduated some years ago and was a manager! Perhaps the ice cream makes up for it all, but I won't be back very soon to find out.

    When the wife says "we can come back here any time" to a burger joint, then they must be doing…read moresomething right. These days, everywhere you go, places are charging around $20 for a burger. More often than not, they disappoint at that price point. And some don't even come with fries for that price! But that's where we are. I ordered the Capital Burger for $23. It was arguably the best burger I've had in my life. Like a French onion soup infused burger. The taste was delectable, the quality top notch, and cooked to perfection. And yes, it came with fries. Finally, a burger worth the hefty price places charge nowadays. Wife had the Ribeye Steak Sandwich which was flavorful and plentiful, as we brought half home for lunch the next day. And surprisingly, the wine list is VERY reasonably priced. Again, if you eat out often, you know the prices for a glass of wine have risen beyond ridiculous the last couple of years. So appreciate this place for not price gouging.

    Great service! We were sitting in the outdoor area, and our server was constantly checking on us…read moreand making sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the mezcal margarita, which was just okay for me. It wasn't as smoky as I was hoping for. The burger, however, was delicious--juicy, cheesy, and full of flavor! I just wish it had a little more caramelized onion. Overall, we had a great experience and really enjoyed the food and service! However is not wheelchair/ stroller friendly.

    Great meal to end the upper US marathon vacation!!…read more We had no idea where we may end up eating but the trusty Yelp app led us to another victory dance!! Yay for Yelp!! We had just cruised the nearby mall center thingy and were hungry on our last night in Boston. We saw the sites and did the things. Boston is a one of a kind place for sure. This was the choice. It was a great choice! Beautifully decorated and oh so chill inside. We have a thing that we do at places with great appetizers. We just order a bunch of those and feast. That's what we did here! We started with some raw oysters. They were very nice indeed. Island Creek Oysters from Duxbury MA. is where they came from. We love the little local Junts a lot and had them all over the northeast while we were there. We also had Crab Rangoon Dip. Very good, lots of fresh lump crabmeat, with a house chili crisp, scallions, and wonton chips. Loved it! They we had some fantastic mussels to close the deal! The flavor was amazing! I wish I could have them every single day! We also had a bowl of BPH Clam Chowder. CC is one of my favorite things and this place did not disappoint in any way! Delicious!! The server was great. She took great care and made our last night in Boston an unforgettable experience. If you are near, you should go right now! Why aren't you there yet? '26 - 108
