Went here for a last minute dinner. The lobster grilled cheese was great and oysters were fresh. I hope to go back to Boston again someday and I will definitely eat here again

Had a terrible fish n chips. Still had to pay for it despite it being over fried and having a funky taste and making a complaint about it. Waitress was busy so I didn’t complain early enough about it. I’m in Boston so I would expect this dish to be much better. Disappointed customer.

There are plenty of places to choose from inBoston to get a lobster roll. We stopped in here whilst walking the Freedom Trail for lunch and a drink. Friendly service and a fantastic hot lobster roll to fuel the rest of the walk.

Good service, decent hamburgers and good fries. You can sit in or out. Very good service, quick and responsive. The usual menu found at most of the places in this location, right off Faneuil Hall area. Still, nice place to stop for lunch while sightseeing.

This is Boston’s oldest tavern. As you’re absorbing Boston’s colonial and revolutionary history, wash it all down here!
