T Anthony's Pizzeria & Restaurant
Neighborhood: Allston/Brighton
1016 Commonwealth Ave
Boston,
MA
02215
Tom E. writes: T Anthony's is a classic East Coast pizza joint. Good cheap quick round pizza available by the slice or as the whole pie. It's not a dining establishment - it's an eating establishment. It's exactly what you would expect for American Pizzeria.…
Our House
Neighborhood: Allston/Brighton
1277 Commonwealth Ave
Allston,
MA
02134
Alex S. writes: Overall, this is a great place to hang out and play some drunken Jenga...and you thought the game got challenging at the end sober. Plus they have some good drink and snack prices - never eaten a full meal here before.

Cambridge Common

1667 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Ligaya T. writes: Tip to the golddiggers (courtesy of Wendy L): skip the FiDi and come here. The HBS boys come in droves and you'll look much more sincere if you get em while they're young, ya know? So what if you'll have to wait a few years to really get wined and…
Stephanie's On Newbury
Neighborhood: Back Bay
190 Newbury St
Boston,
MA
02116
Ligaya T. writes: Okay, okay. I'll come clean with my prejudices. I thought this place was for wannabe socialites who come to Newbury to show off their fake LV bags, the same people that wear shades at night. Then I realized that nope, they're at Armani Cafe.…
Stan's Barber Shoppe

Mansfield,
MA

Emilio's
Neighborhood: South End
536 Tremont St Apt 6
Boston,
MA
02116
Melissa C. writes: This pizza is not good. The crust tastes and feels like rubber. The sauce is bland. It's not even like good greasy, floppy drunk pizza. I'd probably go 1 or 2 stars on this joint, BUT...
*Fresh ingredients.
*CHEAP
*Only an $8 minimum
*Delivers until 1 AM…
Waltham Tavern
Neighborhood: South End
298 Shawmut Ave
Boston,
MA
02118
Alex R. writes: Unfortunately, I have to break it to y'all that the Waltham has been closed by The Man. Apparently the owner has been dead for forty years, it was a mob front and they sold Oxycontin out the back. (I never saw any of those things, but that's the…

The boots I snagged handled…
Noir
Neighborhood: Harvard Square
1 Bennett St
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Rachel J. writes: What has never failed to impress me at Noir is their low rate of staff turnover. How frequently is it that you go to a bar maybe 10 times a year and see familiar faces each of those times? If the familiar faces make a great cocktail, I keep coming…
Cafe Pamplona
Neighborhood: Harvard Square
12 Bow Street
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Lolia S. writes: I had no idea this place was such an institution when I visited. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews. I wish I had known in advance that Pamplona was the first café in the Square and that it's been around for almost 50 years. I did notice and…

Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub
4 Fisher St
Foxboro,
MA
02035
Nicole D. writes: Very fond of this chain. As the previous reviewer mentioned, they give you free popcorn as an appetizer, instead of bread. They're in the same boat as Applebees and Ruby Tuesdays in that the walls are covered in useless junk that's fun to look at.…
Rudy's Cafe
Neighborhood: Teele Square
248 Holland St
Somerville,
MA
02144
Heather F. writes: Rudy's is a great local spot for excellent Tex Mex and awesome margaritas. Even if there's a wait (which there may be since they usually don't take reservations), there's seating near the bar and free chips and salsa while you wait (and drink your…
Sligo Pub
Neighborhood: Davis Square
237 Elm St
Somerville,
MA
02144
Ligaya T. writes: Dirty in an excusable, neighborhood way. If you're straight up with the bartenders, they'll be cool with you. I'd really only head there during the summer when it's not overrun by obnoxious Sig Ep frat boys from Tufts. Pound a beer, catch a game if…
Summer Shack Boston
50 Dalton St
Boston,
MA
02199
Jelena Z. writes: Don't let the word 'shack' deter you from the Summer Shack--the only thing shack-like here is the beach bar-inspired décor! Wear your flip-flops, kids. Sandwashed madras walls, picnic tables and fishing nets make for full-on kitschy but totally…
Joe V's
Neighborhood: South End
315 Shawmut Ave
Boston,
MA
02118
Jeffrey H. writes: The boy that took me here summarized this establishment quite well - he said it's a place you wouldn't really drive to, but rather go to because you live in or are in the neighborhood.
The restaurant to me, was a total neighborhood feel. Somewhere…

Nud Pob Thai Cuisine
708 Commonwealth Ave
Boston,
MA
02215
Liz T. writes: Before I discovered the awesomeness that is Thai Dish (
http://www.yelp.com/bi...), I came to Nud Pob often--so often that the workers thought I was Thai. I guess no one else eats at the place 2-3 times a week.
My favorite dish is the Crispy Chicken…

Boston,
MA

Atrebor B. writes: Although I'm the type that never eats the crust on any type of pizza (can't stand the fact that there's no toppings) the stuffed crust pizza here was very lovely. I had the Baby size spinach and mushroom pizza with buffalo wings. The stuffing was…
The Thirsty Ear Pub
305 Memorial Dr
Cambridge,
MA
02139
Mike T. writes: Those wacky MIT kids have managed to create a very cool dive bar in Boston. I have only been here once but it was great. Its located in the basement of an MIT dorm and there is no sign and or any indication that this is a bar. The front door look…

Erica S. writes: Right now I'm on a "cleanse." Sure, go ahead, be like all my co-workers and tell me I've gone all new age hippie dippie on you, but hey, I feel great. I've cut out all animal products, heavy starches, and the utlimate sacrifice-- alcohol. Now 9 days…

The Breakfast Club

Allston,
MA
02134
Jenna C. writes: I always forget about this place.
I know what you're thinking: An 80's themed diner only a 10 minute walk from my house... How could I forget?!
Well anyway I remembered this past Saturday when I had 2 hungry Atlanta roller girls staying at my house. We…
Harvest Co-Op
Neighborhood: Jamaica Plain
57 South St
Jamaica Plain,
MA
02130
Peter N. writes: (actually 3.5)
I have a real love/hate relationship with Harvest. So let me explore this dissonance:
Pros:
Harvest is less than a half block from my apartment and has saved the day on many occasions, whether it be for a sudden dessert craving, or…
Boloco
Neighborhood: Financial District
82 Water St
Boston,
MA
02109
Brendan M. writes: The burritos are on the small side, but it must be said that Boloco has put some energy into coming up with original and creative fillings. In a sense, I think Boloco may be doing themselves a disfavour branding their wraps as burritos. As a one-time…
The Sevens
Neighborhood: Beacon Hill
77 Charles Street
Boston,
MA
02114
Damien S. writes: When I'm out with friends and a bartender who sides more on the grizzled-but-good than pretty-but-useless joins our conversations and eventually tells us, "I like you. You know why? Because you're not a bunch of pretentious fucks," then proceeds to…
Jae's Cafe
Neighborhood: South End
520 Columbus Ave
Boston,
MA
02118
Daniel S. writes: This is one of my favorite places in Boston. You get home. Diner is a chore, so you get Jae's take-out, but I'll let you in on a little secret. The downstairs part of Jae's is more than a men's restroom. It's a full bar, quiet, peaceful and…
Doyle's Cafe
Neighborhood: Jamaica Plain
3484 Washington St
Jamaica Plain,
MA
02130
Dawn E. writes: I'm pretty sure our AWESOME Waitress, Mary, was my mother's waitress when she went here in the late 60's.
She was just the right combination of ornery and sweet. LOVED HER. None of our stuff came out together, but that wasn't her fault, since no…
Crossroads Irish Pub
Neighborhood: Back Bay
495 Beacon St
Boston,
MA
02215
Matthew A. writes: My Irish ex BF used to bring here here for drinks and Sunday brunch. We were both hungover so the very greasy brunch was just the trick, or maybe it was the drinks WITH brunch that helped.
It was a bit rundown, but not too bad. It has nice Boston…
Legal Sea Foods
Neighborhood: Back Bay
100 Huntington Ave
Boston,
MA
02228
Atrebor B. writes: Although we had to wait 25 minutes for our table of 2; it was well worth it. I've always loved seafood and Legal certainly doesn't disappoint. I ordered the "President's" clam chowder while my friend selected a dozen of varied oysters from the raw…

Aretha W. writes: Some of the best chinese I've ever had. Unbeatable fried peking ravioli. The BEST orange beef I've ever had. Very tender, with a great sweet and hot sauce. The rice here is cooked really nicely. The scorpion bowls are sweet but potent. The fog…
