    Some of the best burgers in Boston! Ordered the Jalapeño burger and enjoyed every bite! You must get half & half (part fries, part onion rings) with your burger :)

    Offers some of the best burgers in the Boston area. Cooked to order, thick and juicy and with a ton of options/toppings available as well. There like 20+ different ones.

    No matter what you order for food, make sure to ask for a side of the Black Jack sauce. It's killer and goes well with everything!

    The half-pound patties are so large (they're almost round when they hit the grill) that they require patience as they cook. As an added bonus, large, hand-cut fries arrive with your hamburger. Read more

    No matter what, dont cut it in half to share. First of all, it's a delicious burger, you'll want more than half. Second, the thing is loaded and will fall apart. Bocce ball is really good.

    We only had a beer and some fries but the fries were amazing and the burgers looked great. The fries are huge too.

    You can't go wrong with any of the burgers. Also consider the buffalo chicken or jambalaya

    Burgers are awesome, and huge! Fries and onion rigs are fabulous. Ask for half and half so you can try some of each!

    So many burgers to choose from. Go baconnator and a few brews while your waiting for it at the bar.

    Check out the specials and add peppers and onions to your burger. I like the Stella and Guinness on tap here because they pour them the proper way into the right glasses!

    Black and blue burger is the bomb. All plays ate big enough to share. The steak knife helps cut the burger.

    Love that they offer half and half instead of making you choose between their awesome fries or onion rings!

    The best burgers in Boston. Also, awesome buffalo wings. Hold court on Mondays for trivia. Arrive early.

    They're known for their burgers, and they're big burgers. Be ready.

    They don't squish the patty, so start doing mouth stretches now.

    The blue cheese burger is just a burger with blue cheese dressing (disappointing). Also, their onion rings are far superior to their fries.

    The Paddy-O is pretty legit. But I'm a guy who likes lots of onions.

    The patty is totally unsalted which is strange :/ Skip onion rings and go for house fries (big chunks of real potatoes!) Blackjack burger 10.95$ is quite spicy. Overall, good price/quality ratio.

    Best burger in Boston. The fries are simply hastily cut up whole potatoes. Ask for half fries, half onion rings.

    Can't go wrong with either a Blackjack or a Black and Blue burger. Wash it down with a $3.25 PBR tall-boy

    Maybe I went on a bad day, but my burger was so greasy that the bun had almost completely disintegrated by the time I got my food. Completely disappointed!

    Best burgers in town- come hungry and expect to use napkins. The "bocce ball" is one of my favorites.
