A leader of the local Southern comfort food movement, Trina's is equally serious about craft cocktails and chicken and waffles. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Try a Kayem dog (same dogs used at Fenway) is griddled, then pressed with American cheese, hot pickles, mustard, and caramelized onion. If it’s not your dog of the day, no matter; any dog-day will do. Read more

Try the "Vicious Circle", a classic craft cocktail with a twist. Based on the algonquin cocktail, pineapple is added to the mix to give this strong drink a hint of summer. Read more

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.

The Monday "industry brunch" leaves diners happily full of chicken and waffles, homemade pop tarts, and Kool Aid du jour. [Eater 38 Member]

Here's our go-to order: the skinny onion strings, the bbq sweet potato chips and the pepperoni roll. Give us a can of Carling Black Label or a terrific cocktail and we're happy campers. Read more

Order a double cheeseburger with a side of onion strings. Place the onion strings on burger. Reconstruct the burger. Eat. Enjoy.

The Dog of the Day has achieved cult status. Recent hits, the Charcuterie Plate dog notwithstanding, include the Dog Fried Rice dog with Chinese five-spice, a soy glaze and sesame oil. Read more

Here is a tip from a real person. Everything here is spectacular and unique. In particular, try the strawberry chipotle chicken and the sloppy Joe's on Wednesdays.

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.

Great Monday brunch if you are up for it. Awesome cocktails. Crazy chocolate covered bacon.
Boston PhoenixJuly 6, 2011
Only six taps here, but the draft options are choice. Get the fries with (or without gravy) and the onion strings to soak up all the menu of craft cocktails, offbeat wines + more. Read more

At this hipster restaurant and bar, hot dogs are a focus of the menu. They’re available griddled, as corn dogs, and topped with chili and cheese. But where chef Suzi Maitland really gets creative is t Read more

Chicken and waffles are bomb. So are the tater tots. Ask for some hot sauce for the chicken.
BeckyOctober 22, 2010
Sloppy Joe night, kool aid du jour, tang, hot dog of the day, chocolate covered bacon, and drinks that will knock your proverbial socks off. If you're gettin a burger, order it w the cole slaw. Trust.

Eggplant Parm is outstanding. Probably the best I've ever had. Get whatever Pretty Things they currently have on tap.

Nice place to grab a drink. A bit too noisy for a date, but always a fun crowd.

There's a mysterious taste that stands out in this drink, and whatever it is, it's delicious. But my favorite part is the garnish -- a big, crunchy dill pickle. Read more

Get the Mac and cheese and a cup of chili, and have them mix it together for you. It's good, and should be a new menu item.

The only thing better than the chicken and waffles is the post-chicken and waffles blumkin. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

The hot dogs are creatively delicious - although not cheap.

Sometimes there's chocolate-covered, sea salt-dusted bacon in the kitchen left over from Monday's brunch. Ask during the week and ye shall (perhaps) receive.
