Cassidy: the burger is my personal favorite (with double fried fries!!) but the chicken sandwich is also strong. $1 oysters (usually wellfleets) from 4 to 6 and after 11pm weekdays.
Christina Varrasso: Love this place! Yummy, upscale cocktails, salads, burgers, flat breads.
Rob Atkinson: Great beer list and food. Ask about the off menu burger!

Philippa Counter: Veggie burgers are delicious tons of yummy toppings.
Mara Jade: The Teriyaki Burger, while very delicious, may require a fork and knife approach... as it is very juicy.
Kevin H: Awesome beer selection (and great staff who knows all about it & can help novices like me) + great burgers. Oh, and fried pickles. Get fried pickles.

Cheapism: The $5 lunch special is one reason to stop by. It only gets better from there. The burger “sets”, which is a burger patty with choice of sauces or even a fried egg on top, are unique and delicious. Read more.
Eugene Kim: Get the extra large Tokyo Hamburg set and extra sauce. Curry pork cutlet is phenomenal as well. Get there early for a table - they can only seat around 10!
rina ku: The hamburger sets are the bomb!

Ashley Onoyan: Black bean burger with asiago cheese, baby arugula and garlic mayo = heaven
Melinda Green: Order a chickpea-mushroom burger topped with red pepper puree, roasted tomatoes, and goat cheese. This carnivore could eat one every day.
BU Today: Veggie Galaxy has the feel of a classic diner minus well... the meat. Instead you'll find baked mac and cheese, mushroom chickpea burgers, and a club sandwich made with grilled tempeh bacon & tofu. Read more.

Alwyn Velasquez: Try the BBQ Burger - Juicy and delicious-a perfect compliment to the crispy fries that came with it.
Ana Beatriz Bersano: Sunrise Burger is the best!!!
Christine Canevari: CBC Burger is absolutely delicious. And that's coming from someone who doesn't ever order red meat at a restaurant, never mind a burger. Oh, and best pickle ever!
Martín Caballero: Don't leave without trying the Starlite-style burger: two 4 oz. patties on a bun, separated by a layer of fries and another layer of cole slaw, topped with special sauce. Messy but so worth it.
Gloria Chin: "turkey burger: A moist, hearty patty tricked out with a sweet and savory blend of Swiss cheese, mustard, apple mostarda, and peppery arugula"
Scott Williams: Some really tasty stuff here. Just not tons for the veggie crew. The veggie burger is super tasty and the drinks are A-Ok! Worth it.
