Garlic parm chicken 'wings' and pulled pork egg rolls
Leah J.

We got the pulled pork egg rolls... absolutely amazing!!!! I also order the chicken parm wings which were good but I was very confused how these could be considered wings... they are chicken tenders... I feel as though they were mislabeled on the menu because that's not what I expected ... other than that it was very good!

Small place with great eats! My family and I loved everything we had. The burgers were good, a bit messy but still really tasty. I wish they had different veggie burger options. The patty was just okay but it was nice that you could put it on any burger you wanted. Our waiter was extremely attentive and knew what we needed before we could ask! We were seated quickly too which was a big plus!

Hot Mess
Erin O.

This was my first time trying this location of Boston Burger Company in Davis Square. It is in a prime location - right off the red line and very accessible. On a Friday night, it wasn't too packed so we were able to get seated right away. The menu here is absolutely insane... the burger choices are wacky and they have pretty much any combination that you could think of. I decided on the "Hot Mess" burger, while my partner ordered the "Vermonter" burger. It's a bit of a disappointment that they don't allow for substitutions for a side of fries (by default you get a side of chips with coleslaw or baked beans), but after receiving your food you quickly will realize that fries might be a bit too much. These burgers are massive and absolutely loaded with toppings. The "Hot Mess" had thousand island dressing, lettuce, sweet potato fries, and more. While the burger was tasty, it was definitely overpowered by everything else going on here. I honestly preferred the taste of the "Vermonter" burger more... the different elements of this burger paired together better in my opinion. The chips and coleslaw were okay, but nothing special at all. Because we're crazy, we also ordered one of their loaded frappes - the s'mores flavor. This frappe was insane. Topped with graham crackers and flame-torched marshmallows, it was overwhelming even for two people to share. Still, it was tasty and unique. If you're coming to this restaurant for a crazy burger/shake experience, you're at the right place!

The King - very good!
Madeleine B.

4.5 stars. Came for a casual family lunch and overall had a good dining experience. It is a small venue but the staff was nice enough to move a few tables together for our group. The service was almost too attentive, they frequently asked if we needed anything which was very nice but also a bit sales-y as they tried to offer additional dishes and drinks. The burger and chips were solid, I got The King which was really good. The milkshakes are fun and photogenic but there is so so little milkshake in the actual cup, I wish they would do that thing diner's do where they give you the extra milkshake on the side of the photogenic serving.

Bruschetta burger
Jennifer Y.

Craving a good burger go to this location. I've never had a bad burger or fries here. Cooky and crazy concoctions for burgers come and get your variety 31 to choose from and you can create your own! They've got these freak frappes that look so yummy and wild. They have 14 varieties of fries. If your not in the mood get some boneless wings cuz why not! My favorite burger is the Vermonster apples on your burger what what don't knock it til' you try it! It has bacon, cheddar, a maple aioli instant fall flavors in ya mouth. My friend had the Bruschetta burger and it looked really good light and fresh. All burgers are served w house made chips that are super crisp and golden. Just do it you won't regret it but you may need a stack of napkins on deck lol

Pulled pork Mac and cheese
Holly W.

Just Do it! Include Boston Burger into your plans. I saw the pics. I thought to myself this place has catchy shakes- their food can't be good. I was wrong. I am admitting it. Sorry Boston Burger Company for my judgement. 2 kids, one adult. 3 cookie dough shakes $51 later- no regrets. The cup rolled in vanilla frosting. Cookie cereal bites meticulously lined up in the frosting. A skewer in the shake topped with an ice cream sandwich and a god of cookie dough. Oh wait want more dough, no worries! Dough inside the shake and an extra gob on the side! Chocolate syrup, whit cream and a cherry! It was what cookie dough dreams are made of! The food... The pulled pork egg rolls with fried Mac and cheese... There for it! But the win was the dip they served it with! The 420 burger split three ways because I knew th se kids cannot handle the shake and their own burger! And it was a good assumption. The burger was delicious! Their bbq sauce was very flavorful. Their coleslaw- win! I love a coleslaw that's juicy. The kids loved their potato chips (pretty sure they make their own- cape cod style.) Pro tips: kids can't finish the shakes and the merch is hilarious

Hard Apple Pie A La Mode
Alana K.

I've been to the Cambridge and Boston locations of Boston Burger, but this was my first time trying the Somerville one. I went with a few friends on a Saturday night. This was in October and the windows were open, so there was a significant draft in the room. I ordered the burger bomb, which comes with sautéed peppers, mushrooms, onions, and cheese. I thought the burger was slightly overcooked and part of it tasted like char. We also shared the hard apple pie a la mode freake frappe. I think their normal shakes are really good, but I didn't love the addition of alcohol. Maybe just not for me. Overall, some menu items are great and others are just okay. Great if you're craving a huge burger. The service is standard.

I keep ordering from here through ubereats even though every time I do, they always get at least one thing wrong. I keep ordering because I really love how this food tastes however. This time I got a side Caesar salad, but they gave it to me without any dressing which , in my opinion , Just renders the entire thing not enjoyable. :/ The food is legit so good, which is why I keep giving this place the benefit of the doubt. it's just that every time I order, they get at least one thing wrong, whether it's forgetting an item I ordered, giving me something completely burnt, or giving me a third of the portion of chips than usual. I really enjoy this place and it's flavors. I do, but the consistency when following an order is always a risk.

420
Christopher W.

Amazing. I had the 420 and the dish was massive. Two mozzarella sticks, fried mac & cheese, bacon, onion rings and fries covered in honey mustard sauce, and the burger itself. Coming on an empty stomach was the smart idea here. My friend ordered the Pigferno which was also massive and stacked like a tower with the burger, onion rings, spicy mayo, and BBQ sauce. We also ordered the Dry Rub Wings which was also incredible. Only thing I did not like was not having enough stomach space to order some more! Especially one of those crazy shakes, was hoping to order The King Frappe or the Oreo. When I visit Boston again, this will be another must-try-again! Definitely want to try one of those crazy shakes. P.S. There is also a "420 deal" where you only pay $4.20 for the 420 if you go during Monday - Friday from 4:20 pm (to 5:20 pm I believe).

Burger Bomb Burger
Rich L.

Life is short F....it up Family, Flavor, Friends Small quaint burger place in Davis sq. Ordered the Bomb Burger - sautéed onions mushrooms cheese burger. It was delivered on a lighted grilled bulky roll, homemade chips and baked beans. The chips were tasty especially when u dip it in the baked beans( yeah I know that sounds weird). The burger was as expected although it did not have a lot of seasoning it was cooked on a flat grill and had a great flavor.

Mini Mac-Anchini
Jon L.

Ordered delivery via their website. The food was delivered hot and fresh. Got the Mac and Cheese with Pulled Pork. It was delicious! Highly recommend!

Mac Attack
Alex P.

We had the "Big Papi" & the "Mac Attack'" & they were stupendously superb !!! Vegan & Gluten free are not spoken here. Front of seating area is open to Davis Sq. Whenever I'm back in the area I will return !!!

Pizza Fries
Carra F.

Kendra was our waitress and she was amazing. The pizza fries were perfect. When I got my The King burger it didn't have the peanut butter on it so I had to wait a few minutes for a side of peanut butter. The king burger tasted really good. I didn't like the baked beans- they tasty herby. The garlic Parmesan wings were a big disappointment. Overall the food was good but I would probably only come back for the pizza fries. The service was the best part.

Full Blog: https://tantorski.com/f/black-ruby…read more Friday nights in Cambridge have a great energy, and Black Ruby fully leans into it. The restaurant was buzzing when we arrived, but we were seated right away at the last available table. The space felt both lively and cozy, perfect for a date night. Service started a bit slow, but once it picked up, the pacing was excellent. Our server was more hands off, which worked well, letting us settle in and enjoy the night without feeling rushed. We started with the Larb Pork Dumplings, which were beautifully presented with chili lime mayo, fresh herbs, and crispy greens. They were fried perfectly, packed with bright Thai flavors, and the added crunch from the greens made the dish even better. With five dumplings, it was a great portion to share. For dinner, we ordered the Crispy Basil Burger and the Thai Garlic Burger, both cooked medium and full of flavor, with Thai seasoning adding a unique twist to the beef.

It has all of the flavors and textures of Khao Soi, with pickled mustard greens for acid, crispy noodles for a crunchy flair, and just the right amount of spice. I find myself craving it often! The one and only bone I have to pick with Black Ruby is that the service, while very attentive, is almost TOO fast. I get that they want to turn tables over efficiently, but the last couple of times I've come, I kind of felt like they were rushing me out. I came here to catch up with a couple friends and our food came almost instantly, before our drinks, and the waitress seemed eager to keep us moving. I think our entire meal was less than 50 minutes. While I'll definitely be back, I think it won't be somewhere I'd bring friends anymore since it's just not enough time for a full conversation.

In particular, there was an orange mezcal cocktail I loved. For brunch, it was good but not great. The pancakes were good, but the eggs Benedict wasn't as good as I hoped.

The coffee and cappuccino was also mediocre. The service was friendly and the location convenient, right next to the Cambria hotel with an indoor entrance between the two.

I got a martini with the blue cheese olives, the smoked blue cheese in the olive was so unique and CREAMY and salty I'd be happy to back just for the olives alone. Shrimp cocktail came with half a lemon with OLD BAY seasoning!! Genius! Big shrimp, two sauces were great too, horse radish cream sauce and a classic cocktail sauce which was a tad sweet for me but I'll get over it because I'm all about the lemon and old bay. Cesar salad! Big salad! Wish we shared one. Big garlic croutons with a bit of rosemary and you could taste good olive oil on those. Dressing was very lemony and there was a hefty amount of cheese. I'd say even if you're someone who prefers a creamy Cesar you'd probably still like this because there's a lot of cheese which added great texture. Came with a big grilled lemon which is an A++ move in my book. Husband added grilled chicken to his and said it was great. Next time we'll share a Cesar and I can't wait to go back and try the fried artichokes.

TL;DR - if you are from Bombay, are craving that specific Bombay Chinese food taste, and Vada Pav - look no further - this is the place. Most of their staff are fellow Mumbaikars - shout out to Shiv, Dhvani, and Ronak! Shiv, our server was friendly and our hungry table got straight to ordering which included a flavor packed and well priced Lychee Martini ($10), Masala Chai Hot Toddy ($12), and Spicy 'Lil Rita ($12) - being the best one! Food included some well name dishes like Kashmiri Deviled Eggs ($12), Vada Pav ($12), Rasam Risotto ($15), Butter Chicken Pot Pie ($20), Chicken Steak with Makhani Sauce ($18), Street Fried Noodles ($16), and Penne Pasta with Chicken for the kiddos. Food just hits the right spots and is very flavorful, extremely well seasoned, and perfectly spiced. Interiors and their bar is very inviting. Noise levels during our stay were on the lower end. Service was excellent. What was refreshing was they didn't charge us any automatic gratuity even for our large group - but absolutely deserved a generous one! Highly highly recommend if flavorful food is your thing!

Wow talk about a hidden gem!…read more I hadn't heard much about this place so I wasn't sure what to expect-- located in Inman square with nearby limited street parking (there's a metered lot on Springfield street nearby!), Oak Bistro is a medium sized restaurant with a simple but chic decor and true focus on hospitality. When we came in we were greeted and our coats were taken and put away. They have rotating specials that our server walked us through. We ordered all three of the mock tails on the menu -- Odin's Oracle was a sparkling elderflower and passion fruit drink, the Northern Rose was fruity with a slight thick cream of coconut base (and the tables favorite!) and the last drink was a warm ginger drink. They all came out looking beautiful. For food, we started with the Halloumi Cheese which was delicious and perfect for sharing (comes with four pieces), then tried the Blueberry Ricotta Cornbread (really well made and yummy but needed a little more butter spread) and the fried burrata (huge serving of burrata with balsamic, fig jam, warm bread, just as good as it sounds). We tried the Braised Short Rib Croquettes which were stuffed with short rib and topped with sooo much yummy cheese. We also had the Pappardelle braised shore rib Ragu which was truly delicious-- would highly recommend. For dessert we tried a special menu bread pudding which was a perfect end to the night. Our leftovers came perfectly packaged in little baggies with dish names and dates written on them which is so cute and thoughtful!

I really hope they kill it at night as our visit was at lunch. I absolutely loved my sandwich and think about it often still to this day. Beautifully grilled and crunchy, with a great beefy/oniony taste. The au jus was rich and flavorful and oh so good. Fries were fresh and also banging as well. C's dish of the thousand layers of really thin potato slices was probably the coolest thing we had to eat on our trip to the northeast. Wonderful dish with an excellent presentation! The piles of pecorino were an instant swoon. Very time consuming dish to prepare well. I applaud them for having it on the menu. All in all, a total memory maker kind of place that I do hope to return to someday. Until then, take care and keep up the good work! '26 - 10

This was the best burger I have had in a while. I have all but given up on eating burgers out but this one was ... chef's kiss.

Bonus points for the raspberry lime Rickey - Also something I gave up getting at restaurants because it is usually too sweet.
