Came here during the blizzard to watch the Patriots in the AFC Championship and they deserve a ton of credit for even being open. We got there about 40 minutes before kickoff and had no problem getting a table, which was great! We really appreciated that the staff showed up in a blizzard so people could watch the game. AND they were in good spirits that hyped up the experience! That meant a lot and did not go unnoticed. Food wise, we started with the chips and dip which were so good. Ive also had their fried pickles in the past and those are really solid. For mains, my friend got the Korean BBQ wings and really enjoyed them. I ordered a burger but substituted the beef for chicken. It tasted good too. I got the sea salt fries as my side, but there was no salt on them at all haha, so they were basically just plain fries. The one flaw is I got honey mustard on the side and respectfully, it was the most foul honey mustard I have ever tasted. It tasted like yellow mustard mixed with apple cider vinegar. I'd steer clear! That said, the energy of the room completely made the experience. The staff and other guests were so friendly and really leaned into the moment. After the Patriots won, they played Sweet Caroline and Shipping Up to Boston. Everyone was dancing, singing and taking group photos, even with people we did not know, and there was such a strong sense of camaraderie. I'll def be back! Great atmosphere, great people, and major appreciation to them for powering through a blizzard so fans could watch the game. read more

Terrible, terrible experience. We went here after a game at the Garden and got a one drink while waiting for an uber (pouring out). The GM targeted us and said if we were waiting for an uber then we have to leave, we said OK. Five minutes later, she came back AGAIN, and said if we don't leave then she's calling the cops. What kind of treatment is this? There is absolutely no room for this behavior, we frequent both this bar and the North End/surrounding community. To threaten a patron who has spent money at your establishment, because they finished their drink and are waiting inside for an uber is very unfair. I would think twice before coming here. We are very unhappy with the treatment of the general manager tonight. JPM read more

Unfortunately, they couldn't seat us because we didn't have a reservation and they were full. We have eaten there before and the food was good. It's a casual atmosphere. read more

Great location for us, as we were staying at a hotel around the corner and it's easy to access from North Station. The staff members were great. So nice and efficient and patient with my niece and nephew. They were very accommodating - proactively offering different seating options for the little one. It wasn't busy when we went, just after the lunch rush and before dinner. The place was very clean. We sat near the windows, which made for fun people watching. The food was tasty. Generous portions! Everyone seemed very satisfied with their food, even the kids! The french fries were a hit with everyone. We will definitely have this bookmarked for future visits in the area. read more

This is a great sports bar very close to our station where the Celtics and Bruins play. My friends ordered various pizzas: buffalo chicken, pepperoni and cheese. They all seemed very happy. I ordered the steak tips, and was very pleased. The Caesar salad was nice, as it came with anchovies. Wine list is modest, but they had a decent Cabernet Sauvignon available. read more

It's a Sunday night. We have tickets for a show at City Winery. It's Mom & Dads night out! First stop: A&B Kitchen Bar. Why? Because it's close and had some good food option. A&B is connected to a hotel and is a stones throw away from TDGarden. The bartender was definitely pretentious but nice. He wanted to help guide me in my drink choice and he made me a pretty tasty ginger beer concoction. We opted to share the Brussel sprouts and buffalo wings. The buffalo wings, I wish they were slathered in the sauce a little more. They were litely coated, almost like a rub and the small amount of sauce was on the bottom of the little skilled its served in. The blue cheese was ok. The brussels were my win. Small pieces of bacon, crispy and soft sprouts. Flavorful. True Score: 3.5 read more

We came here for the Celtics v lakers game last night. It was really fun - they had all the tvs on showing the game Service was so which and our sever was so nice making sure as soon as somebody got seated, she would come over and make sure she got their drink order I got the veggie burger with sea salt fries - pretty good. The burger had a crispy texture to it which was great and the sautéed kale had great flavor. The fries were okay but not bad at all read more

We came here on National Cheeseburger Day and were pleasantly surprised! The deal came with a smaller cheeseburger with lettuce and tomato as well as a side of fries--all for $5. The burger itself was tender, and the fries complemented everything well. Considering it was only $5, I'd say it was a great meal that filled us up for lunch! It was also a Wednesday afternoon and so the restaurant itself had plenty of seating both inside and outside and so we had our pick of low top or high top seats. Service was good was well. read more

This place is lovely. Service was wonderful. My fiancé absolutely loved his burger! But- if you are looking for a Detroit style pizza- go across the street to Night shift. I was served a gross undercooked thick pile of dough and congealed cheese that tasted like it came from my middle school cafeteria. So much undercooked cheese it just oozed out into the corner (pictured if you can spot it). Very sad, because the last time I tried this za it was great. Otherwise, everything was absolutely wonderful! read more

The food was ok, nothing to rave about. I got the potato skins and they were pretty bland. I also got what I thought was a slider but it was a regular sized burger. My server was the best though, she was fast and on point. This is a great location for a restaurant. It's live, around a lot of other establishments and near the T. read more

I went here for the tabletop s'mores and it was so cool! I also got the Detroit style pizza while I was there and that was quite tasty as well. Both items were very inexpensive and our service was super quick! There were also a ton of empty tables so I had no problem going as a walk in. Would definitely recommend! read more

My friends and I had tickets to figure skating worlds and went here for dinner. It was so convenient that we ate here two nights in a row. I loved the veggie burger and fries! Bathrooms were super clean. I loved how you could pay by QR code at the end of the meal because we were able to split the check very easily! Would eat here again for any event at TD Garden. read more

This was my first time having the pleasure of enjoying this restaurant. 5 of us walked in with no reservation on a Saturday of a bruins home game. Amanda was managing and hosting and was an absolute pleasure. She gave us an accurate wait time and did everything she could to help get us a table. Upon sitting at our table, we were welcomed by our waitress, Brooklyn. She was attentive, sweet, and made our time very enjoyable. After enjoying the dinner at this beautiful restaurant with great food, we moved to the bar where we had the pleasure of being served by Martino and Steve, some of the best bartenders in Boston. 10 out of 10 will be back. read more

We stopped in here after a bruins game. With so many choices in the area we landed on a safe spot. We were seated right away, and they had a nice layout, with TV's and an open bar. The drink selection was decent, but with so many local breweries I wish it had more choices than the big names. We both had burgers. Both were perfectly cooked to medium rare. Wife's was better than mine, mine was decent but not "wow". Waitress and hostess were great. Definitely a safe spot read more

My friend and I got drinks and apps after work mid day tues Jan 6 and cashed out seeing our (female) bartender shift was over ~ she was fabulous & attentive and we were happy to cash out with her. THEN we had a male bartender who ended up demanding we pay for much more than double the drinks we ordered. After discussing with him and showing our previous cashed out receipt proving our paid libations, he was still adamant & because we had a long day at our jobs we didn't want to argue & reluctantly paid him and we vowed never to go there while he was bartending there again. He scammed us big time. Oh well. =( live and learn. It was disappointing and disturbing. read more

I was visiting Boston for the first time and I was so excited to visit the historic north end for all their Itallian food. Unfortunately, the waits were way too long because of the celtics game. I happened to stumble across this place called A&B and I couldn't have come across a better place. Because of the game the place was packed but I was shocked that one of the managers jumped behind the bar. I didn't think any manger would have known how to pour/make a drink but the espresso martini because its below them but to my surprise it was one of the beat I've had. I also overheard a customer and he was not happy about something but apparently the manager was able to resolve the issue and the I have never seen a customer change directions so fast. I would say this manager is the jack of all trades but she's definitely the queen of everything. read more

Came in late on a Monday after a basketball game across the street. Was expecting some attitude since we were wearing the opposing teams stuff. The hostess was extremely nice. We ordered a very cheap beer for three dollars amazing bank for your buck and a order of pretzel bites. The pretzel bites were so fantastic. We had to order another. Which is a lot that's the only food we ordered. A lemon drop martini with kettle one, meah. Seems like an amazing sports bar. We got to watch Monday night football. The only issue was our waitress was kind of a snatch again. read more

I went here for lunch today and it was very good. I got the Royale burger which was a smash burger. As I was eating my burger. My father opened a ketchup bottle and it literally exploded all over my dad's fit, my shirt and my new meta sunglasses (not even 24hrs old btw). That incident was uncontrollable and I understand things happen and our waitress was very understanding and gave us 20% off. It was very kind and thoughtful, and they even offered me new glasses cleaners. Very nice staff. read more

The location is convenient to the TD Garden. It is nice, clean, and industrial in style. The small plates were a good start, with chicken wings and fried pickles. For dinner, we had Detroit style-pizza, buffalo chicken tendies, as well as the Mediterranean bowl with steak slapped on top.The bowl and steak tips were exquisite We wrapped up with the chocolate chip cookie skillet, which was served piping hot with preppy ice cream. The best part of the dinner was the excellent service. But it was bang'n that was a yumsicle dinner. read more

Love this place. The food & drinks are always top notch. The staff are always friendly & welcoming. Had seen some recent bad reviews & actually witnessed what happened. It was not all true. The gm was cordial to the customers & patiently explained why people were not allowed to wait for ride shares inside the bar. They 2 "gentlemen " were the ones that instigated the necessities to call the police. If you want good food & drinks, this is the place to go. read more

Can't say enough good things about A&B kitchen! The staff is super friendly, the bartenders are great, and the takeout is just as good as dining in. Definitely recommend the sweet and salty burger. The jam pairs perfectly with the burrata! Also a very big fan of the sriracha mayo and the sweet potato fries read more

The service was a .5 and the food was a .5 to equal 1 star this place is garbage no wonder no one was there eating we sent everything back and we're still charged 85.00 I don't no how we left hungry and sick to our stomachs read more

Horrible experience went here after a game at the garden for a couple drinks there was no where to stand as the bar was crowded. Gm walked over to us and said if we arent ordering drinks and just waiting for an uber we need to leave or the cops were being called. We had friends at the bar waiting for us and we were asked to leave as the cops were called on us for standing ordering an uber? Thankfully I will never go there again! read more

Well - It was Valentines Day and we went into the city to go to the Tom Segura show across the street...This isn't about that, but our tickets got cancelled last minute and so we're already there and it was freeeezing. We weren't going to just turn around and go home, so we quickly looked around for somewhere to go. I had gone to A&B Kitchen + Bar awhile back and remembered that it was good and super close, so we decided to go there for a bite to eat instead. Our timing was impeccable because the show was still going on, so it was very quiet when we first got there. The vibe of the restaurant is great - its like a middle-ground, nice(r) American restaurant and bar. They have two sides if you will to the space, (not like a true separation or divide between the dining side and bar-dining side. They have tables and booths, including cute little "half" booths perfect for two people that beats a small little table. We had a very friendly waitress who was patient with us as we looked through the menu and made out selections. We both got Burgers and they were great! Food came out hot and quickly and everything was as expected and requested. The place filled up pretty quickly after the show got out and with its proximity too the garden, it can get pretty busy and is a great spot to go for a bite or apps, or just drinks when in the area! read more

Victoria was very sweet to seat us even though we had reserved a table at a neighboring A&B by mistake... Great food, very attentive wait staff made this an excellent pre-Celtic game meal! French onion soup, amazing burgers and incredible pretzel bites made sure we were ready to cheer on Jason Tatum and the Celts! read more

Num num num... we had some time to kill before our show at TD Garden so we stopped here. The host said there was a 2 hr wait but gave us a quick 2 top immediately. The food wasn't too bad but the menu is slim. I ordered a down East cider and the blacken salmon BLT with sweet potato fries. It was not bad but lots and lots of butter on the bread. Something I'm not used too but I still ate it. Service wasn't bad either. read more

I loved everything about my dining experience. The waiter was awesome and made great food suggestions. I especially loved that the manager stopped over. He took the time to make sure all was well The Korean Bbq wings are a must have. Really enjoyed the tacos (beef). Also had the chicken flatbread. It was yummy. Will be my late night snack after the game read more

I know not many people will read this, but I hope those who do take it seriously. When we arrived, we were seated and then left waiting 15 minutes just to receive menus. After finally placing our order, we waited over an hour for the food--yet before it even arrived, we were asked to pay and were even prompted for a tip. The service was unacceptable, and I can only imagine the food isn't any better. I didn't even bother eating it. I do not think I was overdramatic about any part of this review it all happened as I told it read more

I have to say that I revived my Yelp account just to give a review to A & B! I was in Boston for the weekend my friend Jake's wedding, and without knowing much about the area, I wasn't sure where to eat the day before the festivities, but this place looked like it had the right balance of casual yet refined atmosphere. The pretzel bites were great but their homemade beer cheese was the true star of the appetizer. The sweet and salty burger was cooked to medium rare perfection and they definitely didn't skimp on the bacon! I wish my friend Jake a happy marriage but I wouldn't be disappointed if he got divorced as long as it means I get to make another trip up to Boston! read more

I would definitely recommend A&B Kitchen Bar to anyone in the area looking for a clean, convenient spot to grab a drink before or after an event at TD Garden or Big Night Live. AsI did. I got the "Garden after Dark" drink and it was a solid choice. The service may not be exceptional, but the location and atmosphere is great. One thing to note is that parking can be a bit of a challenge, especially on nights when the Bruins or Celtics are playing. So be sure to plan ahead to secure a spot. read more

The food here was downright terrible. This was our second attempt at getting take out, since the kitchen closes at 11pm but they have their account set up to still let you order - it just gets cancelled. Of the items we ordered the hot dog was the only item I felt safe to really finish but the bun was straight up junk - bread so old it crumbled. The taco salad was bad. Ground beef with no flavoring, shell so oily it wasn't pleasant to eat. But the rice and beans, what rice? It had a spoonful of rice with a massive amount of beans. Which then spilled all over the brown takeout bag because everything was packed so poorly it didn't stand up to a literal two minute walk to the hotel. Our experience was generally subpar all around. But hey, nothing made me sick so there's that. read more

Speedy service for near the TD Garden. However, they never delivered my salad. My corn was cold, twice. You would have thought it would almost be burning the second time. Fried chicken was alright. Nothing special. read more

I was in Boston for a work trip and stopped into A&B Kitchen after my meeting for dinner. The staff was extremely friendly; I was seated quickly since the restaurant was not too busy. The restaurant was clean and inviting with nice big windows and natural light. They also have a very nice outdoor seating area. I was seated inside near a window and enjoyed people watching on the busy street outside. I ordered the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. The food came out quickly and was hot and tasty. They did accidentally bring me regular fries instead of sweet potato fries, but they quickly brought out some fresh sweet potato fries after I let them know. The burger was excellent - the Brie, apple, and Dijon sauce all worked so well together. The sweet potato fries were not as crisp as I usually like them, but they were tasty. Overall it was a good experience and a nice way to end a long day at work. read more

Made reservations for a Saturday and it wasn't busy at all. A great size, high ceiling restaurant with a large bar and plenty of dining tables with two sides. Host and staff were all kind and we got seated right away. We ordered 3 small plates: Korean Style Glazed 6 wings, Asian Lettuce Wraps (3), and calamari with banana peppers. The wings were good, well-seasoned, and a decent size. The Asian Lettuce Wraps came in 3 and was already placed on three lettuce wraps with chicken/sauce along with some veggies on top. The added sauce made it very salty and we could not finish it. The calamari had good flavors but the batter was slightly wet so it lost its crunch and it wasn't enough for $17. read more

A & B KITCHEN! As you are all aware by now, we have made our new home in Boston's West End, and we have spent our first few weeks exploring our new neighborhood! And this past weekend, we got to check out what is soon to be one of our new locals, "A & B Kitchen"! Adorably named after their two sons, the owners of this establishment have created a unique environment for a TB Garden sports bar! Their mission to "redefine guests' expectations of a casual restaurant" is eminently successful! Let's being their novel approach with the fact they have a seasonal menu - something you wouldn't expect for a casual restaurant - and we loved it! Starting our meal with: A&B'S FAMOUS KOREAN BBQ WINGS! FRIED PICKLES! Delicious! Some of the best wings we've had in a long time, you have to try them! Just be prepared to be a little messy Since it was a Sunday evening, and we were hungry, we continued with some entrees: BURRATA CAPRESE SANDWICH with Basil, Burrata Cheese, Heirloom Tomato, & Balsamic Glaze on Rosemary Focaccia! BOURBON MARINATED STEAK TIPS with Robuchon Potatoes, Green beans, & House Made Biscuit! Again, another round of successes! Especially the 'Burrata Caprese', however, it did get us very excited to try their 'Sweet & Salty Burger!' Next time!!! Amazing food aside, "A&B Kitchen" wouldn't be a successful sports bar without a good drink or two...or four! You cannot have a Boston Sports Bar without having some awesome beers on tap! "A & B" have an amazing draft list, so if that's what you're here for, you can't go wrong! However, what we love about their dedicated to elevating the casual restaurant experience is there commitment to mixology, in the form of their cocktail selection! Over our meal, we tried a a number of great options: SHORT BLUE Coconut And White Rum, Blue Curaçao, Pineapple, & A Splash Of Lime! TALL PINK Strawberry Kiwi Vodka, Peach Schnapps, Lemonade, & A Splash Of Grenadine! MANGO MAI TAI Orange, Pineapple, Lime, Amaretto, White Rum, & Mango! THE GHOST Spicy Ghost Tequila, Orange Liqueur, A&B Sour, & Pomegranate! As expected, if beer isn't your game day drink-of-choice, you have many other amazing options! Since we believe the cocktails on this menu are seasonal like their food, we have to say that you have to get down here this summer to make sure to try 'The Ghost' - if you like some spice with your liquor, it's perfect for you! The bar here has a great vibe, and thanks to our bartender, Steve, for providing a great experience! We are so excited to finally get to visit "A&B Kitchen"! We knew for a long time we would be in for a great experience, and after seeing their segment on the awesome show "The Phantom Gourmet" (check it out on YouTube if you haven't seen it) we knew we had to get there pronto! Have you been to our neighborhood's "A&B Kitchen"? What do we need to try next time we go? And, like always, which Boston restaurant do we need to check out next? Let us know! read more
