    Decent food for the price in the area. They are a little hidden but there's plenty of seating both in and outside. Food is relatively cheap but nothing that blows you away. The summer special was the lobster roll and it was $25 and filled with large chunks of lobster. The nachos were alright, but the plate was huge and enough to share.

    I didn't know how else to get this feedback to the restaurant. Why does the hot dog say it comes with condiments on it, but then EVERY time I order it, it comes with nothing??? There aren't even options to add condiments to specify. please FIX YOUR ONLINE MENU. It sounds so simple but you're falsely advertising food with ingredients that you ARENT including - KETCHUP MUSTARD AND RELISH ON A BUN, but that has never been served to me!

    My sister and I stopped here for a quick bite after seeing Jake Shane and the staff is soooo lovely! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the bar tender was very accommodating given we were there about 45 minutes before the kitchen closed. They have really good prices for their food! I opted for their BBQ burger with cajun fries and it was delicious! My sister for their Brussel sprouts and a hot dog and I could tell it hit the spot for her! The food did take a bit long to come out but that was okay. Would definitely come back here!

    Brunch hot dog and fries

    This is a solid spot for a cheap, quick bite to eat while watching the game. My girlfriend and I found ourselves amid the chaos of a Fenway baseball game, super hangry. We ventured to the Kenmore area to avoid the crowd and stumbled across this place. It's a small little sports bar with high top seating. We sat at the bar and the bartender took the time to explain the menu despite it being busy. The prices here are super cheap for pretty solid food. I ordered a brunch hot dog with Cajun fries for $8. My girlfriend got a double California turkey burger with a side salad. The bartender accidentally served my girlfriend somebody else's burger at first, and then took the plate out from under us and gave it to the guy sitting next to us, which was a bit odd but we didn't touch the burger so it was fine. Her real burger was tasty and cooked perfectly. I would definitely come here to watch sports and grab a cheap bite to eat. Our meal for two people was about $20. Amazing!

    The K burger with fries

    Kind of a small hole in the wall spot? I feel like I found a hidden gem. It's cozy, the food is SO cheap, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I got the kenmore dog, which honestly was a regular hot dog with average toppings, but it hit the spot! Would 100% come back to try the other varieties, they're all under $6. The K burger was perfectly medium rare, juicy, and the K sauce is to die for. Caesar salad is delicious. Portions are a bit smaller than your typical restaurant (but perfect for me honestly), salads and fries are an extra $2.50 but for the burger/hot dog price point, whatever. We happened to come in on a day where Kona beer was having an event and we got free hats- super cute and Kona beer's one of my favorites. Anyway, as much as I'd like to keep the Kenmore as my secret, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quick cheap bite :)

    Food was excellent, service was delightful and helpful. We all loved our burgers and we were so glad to have found this place on Yelp. Great experience all around! (Also, get the seasoned tots...delicious!)

    Great bar and TVs.

    Was at The Kenmore today...8/11/2024. What a superlative place. Both of us had a hamburger for $6.75 and shared a hot dog, which was $4.50. The burger, on a brioche bun--cooked a perfect medium-rare--had bibb lettuce, tomato and pickles. It was one of the most flavorful burgers I've ever had. The hot dog was on a buttered hot dog roll. Again, one of the best hot dogs ever. Even better than the food was the service and staff. 5-star all the way. This place is a right on Commonwealth Avenue, and a 7 minute walk to Fenway Park. Nice and airy with sweet outdoor seating.

    The Kenmore hot dog, with grilled onions & peppers, on a grilled bun. Sooo good!

Now, i love capital grille so i had high expectations for the burger spot! We were promptly seated and the hostess tonight was happy and nice! Brought us upstairs to a cozy booth we like to sit side by side for our meals usually. Our server tonight was Jillian and she was a gem! Very nice, was quick with suggestions when we asked. I grabbed the $22 capital burger, guyere cheese, french onion carmelized onions and shallot aoili. Opted for the upgraded truffle fries +$3. Cooked a perfect medium, fat patty, cheese pull on point, dip with the aioli..... chef's kiss frfr. The fries were crispy, seasoned well, no complaints outside i couldn't finish them after the burger. It is FILLING. The calamari was perfectly crispy with thin coat of batter, large rings and mustache pieces, and chili peppers/ hots was a great addition. Love this style calamari. The lady grabbed the shroom burger and her's was also juicy, glistening..Goodness! Ample, ample amounts of mushrooms chopped and topped! About $70 bucks for the meal plus tip. Happy with our dinner! Oh the pickles in the mini jar were so good the lady asked for a second serving which Jillian gladly grabbed for us!

    Sail me to the moon with the Clam Chowder they make here!…read more Our first stop on a food tour, we came in for the legendary Clam Chowder. It was an absolute treat to say the least. Thickest, most seasoned, and most delicious Clam Chowder I've ever had. I wanted a second one but knew we had more on our tour to enjoy so I had to resist. In one of my photos attached, the spoon stands straight up in the mug! Incredible! The other food getting served around us looked great too. Definitely adding this to our "come back to" list when we visit Boston again.

    Tourist trap. Best clam chowder? I beg to differ, had way…read morebetter at the Chelsea Market fish market. Our plan was to sit outside at a table on their SIDEWALK area with my 10lb dog in her stroller, but the hostess said, with an attitude, no dogs allowed in the patio area. Patio area? You mean the sidewalk? Isn't the sidewalk a public area? We were confused. We tried to clarify because maybe he was confused? But no, he said no again. My mom was hungry so we opted to get a bowl of chowder to go and we put our name down at the restaurant next door who was UBER dog friendly and even gave my girl a dog bone when we checked in, and lots of pets. Anyways the clam chowder should be renamed to dill chowder because dang, why so much! And hardly any clam, mostly potatoes. Not a fan of the policy or the chowder, would not recommend
