Boston Burger company is famous for its excess, but underneath all of the show and gaudy menu items there is a rock solid foundation for American fare is it should be done. I'm not one for loaded fries, 1k+ calorie shakes, or burgers with more than say... 4 toppings (I'm a burger purist). That big, flashy, calorie-bomb is Boston Burger's focus, and while I can appreciate that kind of stance it is not something that I was in the mood for during our visit. For me, I'm a keep it simple: bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, onion, pickle, mayo (on side), and ketchup (on side). That is how I measure a burger place, not how many toppings can be piled on to hide potentially subpar execution of the actual menu item. So, I had a simple cheeseburger as described above with their seasoned fries on the side. Everything we ordered and got was as expected, for the price point. It was a good meal, nothing blew us away but there was also nothing to complain about (hence the 3 star "OK" rating). The fries were crisp, and the burger was done well (not well done :P), and the toppings were fresh and crisp. It fell on the spectrum between my experience (same order) of Red Robin and Zinburger, putting it on par with say a Wahlburgers experience which is nothing bad if that is what you are looking for. At the end of the day - under all the show, glitz, flash, and excess Boston Burger has a great foundation for everything on their menu. I would not say it is the best burger/shake you will ever have, but you shouldn't leave disappointed at the price point. I will return to have my typical burger and a side of fries if I'm in the mood (and area), but I wouldn't go out of my way or make a special trip for what they specialize in. read more

The reviews looked ok, the pictures didn't look bad. As for me my experience...The music was hard to listen, due to the kitchen had their own music going at the same time. Dim as hell, looks like the lights were not on. The service was subpar. Received a flat beer then had to get the servers attention to remind him after 15 minutes about the requested water. The burger meat was cooked well and the taste was good. The bread it was served on, was too soft for the meat and if falls apart after your second bite. The fries were also sad, lacking of flavor. They also did not melt any of the cheeses, on the fries or the burger. Like wtf? Over priced for what is being offered. read more

I use to come here during high school / college years and I remember this was the best burger spot I've ever been to. I moved out of Boston for a few years but coming back to Boston Burger Company as an adult still hits the same. The music and vibe was good. The service was excellent. The food is epic. It is a vibe. We got the mini mac-ancini for appetizers. It was alright but honestly, if you want an epic burger, I would stay clear of appetizers because their burgers fill up the digestive system. I was good for lunch and dinner because of this one meal. I usually go for the kitchen sink burger when I was younger and remember loving it. This time around, I went for the 420 burger. It is absolutely crazy to say the least. It is so stacked. Probably called the 420 because you have to be that high to have a burger so crazy. I mean...look at the toppings. Mozzarella, mac & cheese, onion rings, bacon, more cheese, drizzle over bbq sauce. Ridiculously awesome. Get the burger medium rare and it is a burger dream come true. Overall, I would come back if I am in the area. Highly recommend for burger lovers. read more

Stopped by for the 420 burger special - (weekdays between 4:20pm and 5:00, you can get a 420 burger for just $4.20). Overall, a pretty standard burger joint - 420 burger comes packed with onion rings, mozzarella sticks, and mac-and-cheese bites, so definitely a LOT of food (especially for the price), but I do admit it can be a little too much - too greasy, too heavy, etc. - for me sometimes. It comes with a side of potato chips, which were quite salty, and coleslaw, which was sitting in way too much dressing. We also ordered a poutine, and this was much less satisfying than the burger since the fries were not very crisp, having been drenched in the bland gravy (cheese curds were nice though). I'd say overall, things are much more expensive (at regular price) then they're worth - but the 420 special is definitely worth it. read more

The food was okay. The burger didn't have much flavor even with all the toppings. The desert was good, the cheese fries were just okay. Definitely had better meals other places in Boston. The service was good, which is why I gave it any stars at all. read more

We stopped in for lunch and were seated right away, in a corner by ourselves separated from the next closest table by glass. Although we thought the place sounded good based off of its name, neither of us ended up ordering a burger. I tried the mango habanero bbq boneless wings with a Diet Pepsi and my boyfriend got the Buffalo Mac and a lemonade. The Buffalo Mac was fantastic! I thought the mango habanero was a little sweet for my tastes, but I'm a big spicy mango habanero fan. The boneless wings had an interesting breading. Their menu has shakes and they look sooo good! I'd love to come back to try one of the shakes for dessert. read more

Was really looking forward to trying this place after seeing how the food looks, but was greatly disappointed. Got the chicken Caesar fries, fries were impossible to eat with how oily they were, there was barely any lettuce, and the chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. The Oreo frappe was also way smaller than they portray, but tasted fine because it's hard to mess that up. I would not return here read more

Came here on a Friday evening with no wait. I ordered the $15.50 Ranch BLT burger (medium well), which came with potato chips and choice of coleslaw or baked beans. Decent burger, nothing special but nothing bad. While the burger was just average, the large range of burgers was interesting. They have a very large selection of burgers and other food items and seems friendly for vegetarians. The food is a bit pricey though in my opinion. The service was fast and great; I had a great server. Overall, I recommend getting a burger other than the Ranch BLT. The burgers are average but overpriced. Boston Burger Company is good pick if you want to try a large variety of burgers and sandwiches. read more

Had read about their famous huge burgers and frappes as well as seeing that they had been featured on Triple D, so we had to try it out while visiting Somerville (the location they Guy visited when he did his show) My husband and I shared the 420 burger and it was delicious! It comes with house chips and baked beams. The two sides were very good. The burger was cooked to medium and all the toppings were on and made for quite a yummy burger. We got a basket of fries to share and they were nice and crispy steak fries. We also shared the churro-ly frappe and it was so good. Highly recommend! We had great service and food came out quickly. read more

Overall rating: 5/5 Food: 5/5 The 420 burger at 4:20 for $4.20. There's fried Mac and cheese, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks in the burger! It definitely sounds like a handful but this time around I disintegrated the burger just a little, heh. Ambience: This location looks a bit newer (I'm not sure when it was founded/when it opened) but it's like a typical bar. They have seatings in a pretty large space and a bar once you walk in. Price: I've only ever had this twice and both times it was the 420 burger for $4.20. It is definitely worth the price considering burgers at other locations or restaurants are typically $12+. The standard burger is about $16-18 though if you were to order it outside the time frame. The shakes (so I've heard are super good) but I didn't want to risk not finishing it! Service: The waitress was super generous and accommodated us promptly! We were the second table to be seated and everything was pretty swift. read more

Found this place while on our day trip! I have a severe dairy allergy, but the waitress & staff above and beyond. Went with a grilled chicken salad to be on the safe side. Which although simple, was super filling & delicious. The waitress took the time to talk me through other things they could offer me and the process to which they would make sure it's safe for me! They were more than willing to do accommodations. Had two young kids with us who had a great time & loved the food as well. Wasn't too loud and although a smaller place, didn't really feel crowded. read more

I have celiac, so eating out is always a little risky. They took my celiac seriously, and I had little concern. The burger bomb was exceptional, the fried onions, peppers and mushrooms were generous but not over the top, they didn't balk at my request for extra pickles, or field greens. I am stuffed! My son's burger was insanely large and delicious too! Tater tots, baked beans and potato chips all superb! read more

So so delicious. I come here every time I go to Boston or Cambridge. It's by far one of the best burger spots! I love their chips as well as all the apps they offer. The sampler gives a great variety of all their best and yummy appetizers like the chicken fingers and fried pickles. I love their Hot Mess burger and I tried their Mumbo #5 with grilled chicken. Had to be one of the best grilled chicken sammies I've had! Food always came on time and they listen to substitutions pretty well. :) read more

Burgers, ok. Shakes, better photos than taste. Service, not much to write home about. They charged us for tip, in violation of their guidelines, and couldn't reverse it "because they misread their own menu". Wasn't worth a battle but wouldn't go back or recommend you go. read more

After seeing Boston Burger Company on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, I knew I had to give it a try. To start, I ordered Mumbo fries and I enjoyed them very much. The fries were more like potato wedges and they were delicious. The fries were, hot, crispy, and fluffy on the inside. Similarly, the mumbo sauce on the fries was great. It was sweet and tangy and the sauce really brought everything together. After a great start to my meal, I was really excited to see how the burgers were. Considering that fact, I decided to order the Mac Attack burger which is the burger Guy Fieri ordered. The Mac Attack is a burger topped with macaroni cheese and bacon. Now, I don't say this lightly, but it was one of the best burgers I've ever had. In view of this, the burger was incredibly delectable and it was pouring out juices. The beef was so fresh and it was ridiculously juicy. Moreover, the macaroni cheese was cheesy, savory, and cooked to perfection. It made the burger even better and took my tastebuds on a delicious journey. Also, the bacon was perfect, it was crispy with just the right amount of fat. On the flip side, the bun was a bit flavorless and generic. With everything said, Boston Burger Company has some of the best burgers there is and the Mac Attack Burger is a one of a kind gem. read more

Featured on Diners Drive Ins and Dives. Ordered a side of fries which could be a meal in itself. The pizza fries were topped with tomato sauce, a ton of cheese and pepperoni. The tomato sauce made the fries soggy unfortunately and the mound of cheese made the fries salty, no need to add any extra salt. The burger was cooked medium and juicy. read more

Boston Burger - Pizza Fries - Burgers Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

Was craving a burger and shake and they had both, plus they're quick. Atmosphere: Its what you would expect of a burger bar. There is a slight open kitchen so you see them making shakes and such but its not right in front of you. The place is slightly small, but there's always people there so thats a good sign. Attire: no special attire, wear what you please Food: if youre craving a burger this will help it a little. the burgers are good. they're better than your quick McDonalds burgers as the patty is fresh. They offer a wide variety of toppings, but with all the amazing burger concoctions they have on the menu, the one thing that bothers me is their buns. Their buns wouldn't hold up to a simple hamburger. It gets soggy immediately unless you eat it at the restaurant. If you're ordering it for delivery or pick up, I highly suggest picking it up asap. The one thing I love here is their shakes - amazing, delicious, will definitely stop here for a nice refreshing shake. On top of that, they always get it to the right thiccccness. With the burger orders, the order comes with their house made chips. Though I love me a good homemade chip (which these are delicious), what's a burger without fries and they charge extra to switch out the chips for fries. It just doesn't make sense to me. Lastly, their wings. DO NOT ORDER. Man was I soooo disappointed. I thought I was getting boned in buffalo wings. Like you know the ones with the skin and such. Nope. Wrong. They were like chicken breast tidbits. So dry, so lacking in flavor. So disappointing. The worst ever. It was so dry, even the blue cheese dressing was not helping. Location: Very convenient location if youre a pedestrian or a biker or not a driver. Right on Mass Ave by Harvard square. Price: im going to say the price is pretty hefty for what youre getting. I mean its a hefty burger, but its also not the best so pricing I dont think correlates with what youre getting Parking: If you drive, on a non busy day...which in this area is never, you can try snagging a street parking 2 hour max spot. if youre picking up, I guess you can do what every body else's does and double park where there's a perfect spot ( no please dont do that!!!) If youre picking up, the side street is a nice place to park your car temporarily and put your hazards on while you run in. Overall: It could have been better. -1 point for the "wings". -1 point for chips option instead of fries. -1 point for not meeting the same standard as when I first ate it. I find that restaurant qualities is way better when they first open than as time goes on. I expected more from a place that was featured on one of my favorite food shows, but this was not the case. read more

Food is very heavy, pretty big sizes but not the best quality. Not a big deal but frights are extra and are pretty good.

This is a great spot if you want a quick meal. The servers are very friendly and attentive. The kitchen pops out orders very quickly. The burgers are a good size and juicy. There are so many flavor combos. I got the hot mess and it really was a mess. There was just so much sauce that it was a little hard to eat. I thought it would taste like an elevated Big Mac but the sauce was a little too mayo-y for me. I didn't think I would like the sweet potato fries in it but they did add a nice crunch. The boneless wings were a bit over cooked and I was a bit puzzled by the sauce. I expected like a garlic parm glaze but it seemed more like butter and shredded parm? We got bbq on the side which helped with the dryness. I love their wedge fries and ate most of the order myself I think I'd come back for a simpler burger and def fries but skip on the chicken next time. read more

The food wasn't bad, although the food took a little long to arrive (think I waited like an hour?) But perhaps because it was July 4th. Things I got: 1.

I have always loved this place. I've visited here multiple times, never disappointed! The best part about this place is that any burger you choose, you get the option to replace the meat patty with a vegetarian patty. The varieties of burgers are great and you can even build your own. My favorite ones are : 1. Hot mess 2. Roots burger 3. 420 Ooh, and the sides with chips and coleslaw are a cherry on the cake!! Perfect combination!!! Desserts are also amazing! My favorite dessert is the strawberry shortcake. It's a must try!!! Overall, if you're around Boston, do visit the place! read more

My first mistake was coming here when I'm in a "I can eat" mood, because holy cow the portions are huge. I came because of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and when I looked at the menu I realized it's been on other shows too (Rachel Ray, Food Paradise) so my expectations are super high at this point. There are so many items to choose from, so if you're indecisive like me it'll be better to study the menu before coming in before it takes you (me) 20 minutes to decide. I love poutine so of course I got it. They come in wedge fries and drowning in gravy and cheese curds. I also got the pterodactyl boneless which came out cold and extremely sweeeeeeet, also drowning in the sauce. The burgers were just regular burgers. It didn't feel like I was eating the best burger I've ever had, and for $17.50 it should have made me felt that way. So overall my experience was just meh. I won't be back for the burgers but I will be back for those milkshakes!!! read more

Wow, this was the first restaurant I ate at in Boston and it set my standards HIGH! The burger menu is so large, with so many creative burgers! They had a handful of burgers I would have never even thought to create! 4 or 5 of the burgers are famously recognized from Rachel Ray, the Food Network, and other well-known platforms. I had the thanksgiving themed burger, and then an onion ring type burger, and my friend had a maple apple type burger. All were delicious! However, I wish I could substitute the chips for fries. Not a fan of the chips. But everything else was great! read more

Wasn't my first time here but I tried out something new which was a burger on a garden salad with a choice of your salad dressing. I love this option of having your burger (any kind) on a salad instead of eating with a bun. The fried pickles are really good as well if you're a fried pickle fan. The prices are kind of up there but if your a burger fan I would check this place out! The food was good but nothing mind blowing for me, server was super friendly and kind!

We had a really memorable dining experience here! Be prepared to leave feeling super bloated yet satisfied. I had a really long internal debate about what to order but figured I might as well go all out with a burger that came with bacon, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, fries, AND fried mac and cheese bites all stuffed inside for once. We also got a seasonal freakfrappe to share that was topped with an honestly impressive slice of cheesecake, which made everything even richer and creamier. Overall, it's a great casual place to have an indulgent meal from a super fun and extensive menu! read more

This is the place to go to for burgers and milkshakes in Boston! Their menu is extensive and there is definitely something for everyone. They even have a full bar! It wasn't crowded when we went and were seated right away. It did take a little longer than expected for someone to come take our order, but they might give people extra time to look at everything on their menu. Since I study menus before I go somewhere, I already knew what I wanted when I walked in the door :) Everything came out together, so fresh and hot. Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs when we ordered, but that's okay because leftovers are always welcomed. There was a bit of a hiccup with the one milkshake we ordered. We went in June and ordered their pride month milkshake which has a giant slice of rainbow cake on top. Since this is basically defying gravity, it had toppled over twice before making it to our table. They had to re-do the milkshake a couple times. With all the work that is put in to this milkshake, we got it toward the end of our meal, but it was definitely worth the wait. And since it took longer, they comped the price of it, which was more than expected and so nice. Overall, great place and a must go-to when in Boston. read more

My kids found this place during our recent trip to Boston and it made for a tasty and most filling meal. The homemade fried pickles were good, but they would have been easier to eat had they been cut vertically instead of horizontally because the long cut meant most of the pickle pulled away from the breading with the first bite. Loved the spicy mayo dipping sauce though. Both the Sophie and The Hot Mess burgers were given rave reviews by our party. The S'more Than You Can Handle & Strawberry Shortcake Freakfrappes were decadent and over the top. Great service. read more
