    Hot dog, fries, wings, lemon drop martini, fat tire

    Great little bar near Fenway. The food was very good with a good price point. Lots of beer on tap. We had wings, hot dog, fries. Lemon drop martini and a new Belgium fat tire. Excellent service

    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.

    Best night!

    I have EVERYTHING amazing to say about RANDALL. We were in town from out of state for 48 hours for a Rosalía concert, he made an effort to make us feel seen and appreciated, and left us with such a positive energy when I had an early 6:30am flight to catch. I cannot say enough about Randall. 10/10. THANK YOU RANDALL for serving us!!!! And making our night cap so sweet.

    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!

    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!

    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
    Eva A.

    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 :)

    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.

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.

Immediately brought to our table were a round of waters and a small mason jar of their in-house made pickles - ever so slightly sweet and well balanced. Hubs eyes are always bigger than his stomach so for starters he ordered Smoked Gouda Cheese fries with chopped Poblano Peppers, Eggs & Bacon deviled eggs with candied bacon and a cup of New England Clam Chowder. They were all very good. Their menu features 5 creative beef burgers and one in house made vegetarian burger. My Capital Burger was a delicious layering of caramelized onions, Wisconsin Gruyère and shallot aioli - so good! I opted for the side of mixed greens side salad with vinaigrette and it was light and fresh. Fernando was a rock star server and made great recommendations. We will return when in Boston again!!

    Our team at Suffolk University has had the pleasure of hosting two major graduation celebration…read moreevents at Bostonia Public House, and both experiences have been nothing short of extraordinary. While the beautiful venue, incredible food, and attentive staff certainly deserve recognition, the true reason these events have been so successful is Rob, the Events Manager! From our very first conversation, Rob has been an absolute professional and a genuine partner in every sense of the word. Planning large-scale celebrations can be complex, but Rob makes the entire process feel effortless. He is responsive, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure every aspect of the event exceeds expectations. His commitment to hospitality is evident in everything he does. He took the time to understand our goals, our students, and the significance of these celebrations. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism, expertise, and warmth so naturally. The Events Team and staff reflect this standard. Every member of the team has been welcoming, accommodating, and dedicated to providing exceptional service. Our graduates, families, faculty, and staff consistently leave talking about how wonderful the experience was, and that is a direct reflection of the culture of hospitality Rob has cultivated. If you are considering hosting an event in Boston, I cannot recommend Bostonia Public House highly enough. Ask for Rob...you will quickly understand why he is such an incredible asset to the organization! His dedication, professionalism, and genuine care for his clients set the gold standard for what event hospitality should be. We are already looking forward to being back next year.

Be aware that if you're there on the weekend, then expect a wait of at least 45min to 1 hr or more. Needless to say though, it was worth the wait. We had a party of four and everyone raved about their meals. From the baked Haddock, to the baked Scrod, the grilled chicken salad and to my own lobster salad roll. I can only attest to the lobster roll but it was PACKED with meat. A lot of other places had half the amount of meat I got there for almost the same price. I expected much the same this time too but when it came I was pleasantly surprised at the sheer size of it. It came with some od the best fries I've ever had. Super hot, crunchy and full of flavor. The Cole slaw was somewhat disappointing though.. it had raisins in it?!?! Who does that?? The lobster roll could have used some more mayo on it but overall I was extremely satisfied with the meal and the service. We were seated next to the bathroom and kitchen towards the back but each of the tables in the back had window views to the water so that was nice. Bathrooms were clean and the service was excellent.
