This place is my go to for filet mignon. It is always cooked to perfection and on point. I try filet mignon everywhere I go and Burton's is by far the best! They also have excellent drinks and amazing creme brûlée. read more

When I have guests and want a good selection for everyone I can count on burton's not disappointing. Meals are always delicious and the service is great! I even copied their zucchini cheese appetizer to make at home. Highly recommend. read more

Great service every time I've been here. Attentive, kind servers. To start, doughy rolls with a creamy herb butter are brought to the table. Even if you're trying to save room for the main course, the rolls are a must-try. Menu offers a variety of options, as well as separate menus available by request for vegetarian or gluten free diets. Had soup of the day, black bean and corn, and it was delicious. Great start to the meal. Followed up with the beet salad, one of my favorite salads around. Beautifully presented with goat cheese on top, beets diced with onions and nuts beneath. Veggie burger is outstanding as well and a filling meal for any hungry visitor. And the fries are always delicious! Prices are reasonable for the amount and quality of food you are getting. read more

Can't beat those potato chips at the bar! The bar area gets a bit crowded. But the bartenders and servers, and menu are great!

I have been to Burton's Grill in Hingham about 4 times now. Each and every time I've dined there, the food has been simply delicious. I had been meaning to write a review before I forgot what I had for lunch or dinner, but it didn't happen. Today, I am making the time to commend the chef on his superior culinary skills and enticing my appetite each and every time. I had the real crab meat stuffed Alaskan haddock that was served with julienne vegetables and jasmine rice. I asked for quinoa instead of the rice. The quinoa sure did make me forget how much I love rice: They served us red and white quinoa that was savory and fluffy, a perfect consistency. The piece de résistance for me was the crab and the tasty, light, creamy lemon sauce that was served with the main course. I even asked for extra sauce; it was that good. My dinner was bursting with flavor: I enjoyed each and every bite. The portion is enough to satisfy most appetites. I had to take some home with me because I wanted to save room for dessert. We ordered the dessert special, the white chocolate raspberry crème brulée. This crème brulée was perfectly made, not to mention mouth-watering delicious. Burton is one more reason to shop at the Derby Street Plaza. Great food, great service, spacious, and roomy dining room with unpretentious elegance. Bon appétit! read more

I used to love a particular salad & buy it all the time - Mediterranean - but they stopped. Wish they would bring it back. Service is perfect. Atmosphere is great. Just wish they hadn't changed the menu. read more

Was skeptical; for nearly 4 years of this place! The located in Hingham and how sophisticated the area was and wondering whether or not this establishment was just catering to the demographic or really intending to put on a culinary show... Shame on me! Hand made from scratch is what they tout and IS what they do. How can you tell? The choice and blend of seasoning between plated items is not only discernible but complimentary. The lump crab stuffed Haddock reminded me of my own work at home; and that's important. They are plating up dishes with a purpose and can't imagine the rest of the menu not being of equal commitment and quality. Well done Burton's, well done. read more

Great meeting spot and the food is great. Sometimes difficult to get a table and it can get very crowded, but everything is top shelf.

Been here many times but today for lunch was unacceptable. Ordered a chicken sandwich which was served raw so we told the server who took it back to show the kitchen. Didn't feel like another sandwich so just asked for a bowl of soup. Asked if I could keep the fries to have something to eat until the soup was ready. Server said yes you can keep the fries - we are just going to throw them away. Soup had no flavor, was charged $1 for the fries, and regular price for the soup. I guess salmonella was free - C'mon man what happened to this place! read more

Why can't you veiw the menu on their website? For days now. What appears to be the menu you would click on is covered with an unrelated, unclosable pop up ad. As well as text being super imposed on other website text. This menu hiding seems to be an awful trend with better restaurants. Burton's is not haute cuisine. So just publish your menu. JHC. This is a way for restaurants to make more money. They feed you what they got left over from the week before. Gross. Screw the menu. We went to a very pricey ($400 pp) chef's tasting menu at a Boston restaurant in February. Wine pairing was extra. No preview of the menu. We were assured the chef would accommodate my veg diet and another diner of our party's olive and caper intolerance. Four of the small plates contained bacon, ribs, pork belly and meat grease. No alternatives. Disgusting. Even the salad had pork grease vinageratte and also capers and olives. The main was duck. With bacon. Stringy, greasy nasty overcooked duck. The cheese coarse was very sketchy. Cheese menu was not provided. Definately not artesian or organic. Or from Vermont, as we were told. The skimpy slice of cheesecake with hazelnut ice cream for dessert smelled moldy. For $400 I ate two small squares of what I know was Cracker Barrel. Which I enjoyed. 80 percent of our table's food was not eaten or taken home. Over $3K. The chef said we are not sophisticated enough to understand his "food genius." That was pretty funny. read more

I would have always rated this a five. I'm gluten free and the GF fish sandwich is something I dream about. It's the only reason I come here...simply divine. And they are so good about allergies here! I also have a shellfish allergy, which is very common. I ordered the fish sandwich today and was told they now have "firecracker shrimp" on the menu, and it's cooked in their dedicated "seafood fryer" so the fish sandwich is no more, for me. I asked if they could cook the fish in another fryer, but was told no, because it would contaminate the other fryers for those who are allergic to fish. Seeing how shellfish is such a common allergy, and white fish is not, this makes no sense to me. And for whatever reason, they also aren't offering bread now. The GF focaccia was amazing. Just disappointed they couldn't find another fryer. Hopefully they will consider this read more

I had lunch at Burton's Grill, Hingham today with my sister. We both had the lobster roll. I'm not usually shy about sending my food back but I did not complain or call my server over regarding the lobster. I also did not ask if the lobster was fresh while ordering, another mistake. I could tell the lobster was not fresh. The lobster was cold and had little taste. Either it was frozen previously or shipped in packaged but it was certainly not from a fresh lobster. The only saving grace was the warm buttered brioche bun. The price was $21.95 and I expected much more. I did finish it because the bun masked the flavor of the lobster. My sister took her's home. Service was very good. I will not Be coming back for the lobster roll. read more

We love Burton's for a steak cooked to perfection or my favorite - their fork & knife burger. Unique artwork all around & a social, well-stocked bar. Waitstaff are super friendly and ask each guest if they have signed up for the rewards program which is a pretty sweet deal. read more

Excellent food and service! Fish was amazingly fresh and delicious. Waitress was fantastic! Highly recommend read more

The Crab cake Haddock is the bomb. Staff is very personable and attentive. The Super food salad is great too. Haven't had a bad meal here yet! read more

I shouldn't start my review agreeing with someone else's review but Katie C. hit the nail on the head. I walked in the door and didn't even get a single head looking up at me. Two people at the hostess counter didn't head no attention. Strike one. Went to the bar to eat lunch, water no drink, beet salad and a sandwich. The beet salad was decent, water had ice and the sandwich was not memorable enough for me to write down what I even had. No strike given for mediocrity. The bartender, a Sunday fill in, was talking to the girl sitting at the bar. They had both worked at Legal Seafoods, knew the same people, experienced the same Legal Seafood drama and decided to talk about it. How freaking boring. So the little cute girl gets a drink and the bartender pours himself the excess. I took my camera phone out and filmed him drinking the bar while ducking down behind the bar as not to get caught. Ummm, the people at the hostess counter are to busy ignoring everything so he drank his whole drink (isn't that illegal in MA) and got her another drink and ... OH. got a drink for her boyfriend without him being there. That's right, he put a drink up on the bar without seeing him and without knowing if he was of age! Strike two. I paid (don't think the cute lil girl drinking and flirting with the bartender even got a tab) walked past the hostess stand again and still NOTHING spoken to me (the place was not busy at 1ishpm) got into my car and noticed three other restaurants in the complex. I won't be back to Burton's Grille anytime soon. They need to work some wrinkles out. read more

I go to Burtons regularly. It's always a good take. The new summer menu is good. Drinks are always good.

Just a fancy place where they hike up prices because it is on Derby street. I had the spring rolls (which are actually egg rolls if you want to get technical) when I ordered it I was expecting spring rolls not the fried egg rolls. I guess Americans wouldn't know the difference but being Vietnamese we know! anyways the order came with 3 "SPRING ROLLS" for $15.00 this blew my mind. I would never in a million years eat this dish which is nothing compared to the original egg rolls which costs around 2-3$ for 3 egg rolls. Then I went ahead and tried their Calamari dish which tasted like it sat in room temperature for a week meaning, they were not fresh. Secondly our waiter kept taking away dishes that we were clearly still using and dishes that still had food on it. just completely rude. Lastly I would like to address the fact that they did not seat my group the order that we arrived (at 11:30 A.M) they seated people who were behind us in line, first. I wouldn't even send my dog to eat here if it was the last place on earth that has food left, thats how horrible the whole experience was. read more

Where to begin? In the past several visits to Burtons, my experience has been a consistent 3-to-4-stars. Not great, not bad... but certainly not last night. it was like a cliff-dive. My friend and I decided to go to Burtons to catch up and enjoy a nice dinner out. When I politely asked how long a wait is for a party of two, the host (who wouldn't look me in the eye and was more concerned with looking at a couple in the bar) quoted the wait between 45 and 60 minutes. No big deal for a Saturday night, right? An hour and forty five minutes (that's 105 minutes for the mathematically challenged) and we were seated. What's worse is the host had my cell phone number as a point of-reference - no phone call to say they were running late. No manager to apologize, either. Instead, the Harry Potter look-alike host, had the audacity to call my cell phone as we were standing in front of the host stand waiting for a table, glaring at him, while there was only one another party waiting for a table, too. The food was okay - I had the bronzed salmon special that was just, "okay." Dessert, the chocolate torte, was just "okay" but still a sweet treat. Overall ... very turned off by the substandard service. The restaurant experience begins and ends with the host; welcoming guests as they arrive and wishing them a good night and hopes they'll return as they leave. If I'm going to spend money at a restaurant, I will spend it where I feel welcomed as compared to feeling like a burden. Time for a new place to visit. read more

By far the worst food service I have ever experienced. The manager tried to buy my surveys of with a credit on my bill. That is not and what not was I was looking for, nor did I accept it. I was trying to enjoy a night out with my wife. Thanks for ruling it Burtons read more

I had thought Burton's was a national chain, something in the vein of The Cheesecake Factory, until my parents set me straight and told me it was a small local chain with just three or four outposts in Massachusetts. I ended up there last night because my mom is caesar salad obsessed, to the point that she carries a little notebook with her to keep track of her opinion of the caesar salads at various restaurants. Well, Burton's scored high and she was determined for me to try it, so off we went. I ordered the caesar salad, of course, since not ordering it would be akin to slapping my mom in the face. I was not disappointed, it was definitely one of the best CS's I've ever had. It was perfectly dressed with an incredibly fresh dressing and had just the right amount of cheese and toasted croutons. I also had the crabcakes, in hopes that I could make up for my terrible experience with crabcakes last week. It worked. These crabcakes were loaded with jumbo lump crabmeat, which might be the greatest protein on earth. I wasn't into the red bell peppers that were in the crabcakes, but they were easy enough to pick out. The entrees are a bit steep, but you can get a delicious and inexpensive meal if you stick to a caesar salad and the clam chowder, which my mom also raved about. I think that's what I'll do next time. read more

Long wait for service after being seated, must have been in the middle of a shift change. Food was decent though. Fresh baked bread was wonderful, decent wine selection, salads fresh and crisp steak and chicken we're cooked perfectly. Chocolate cake was a delightfull way to finish our meal without it being too heavy or overly sweet. Will return read more

tl;dr: the seating sucks, the noise is overwhelming, and they're more corporate than craft A friend from Boston wanted to meet for dinner and he suggested Burton's. I'd just been there for lunch and had an okay (3*) experience so I decided to give it a go. I called early in the day to make a reservation but was told that they don't take same-day reservations. Huh? While this might make sense in the math of running a restaurant (although I'm not sure how), it is decidedly customer-unfriendly, which is an apt characterization of Burton's at dinner. It was 7ish on a rainy Thursday in spring. They seated us in the lounge area, which is very large, very noisy area of maybe 30 tables. Our table for two was part booth, part bench seat that backed up very close to another much larger booth with no partition. I was closer to the people at the adjoining booth than I was to my date. They were so close that I could reach out and touch them, not that I'd want to, especially since I knew them, a detail that made the already awkward situation of the table even more uncomfortable. Do restaurant designers think that people have nothing private to say when in restaurants? I don't get it. In addition, one of the seats jutted out into the walkway, which is what I might expect at the mall food court during Christmas season but not at a restaurant with $30 entrees Oh, right. This *is* a mall eatery. Next to us on the other side were four empty tables. I'll never understand why restaurants jam patrons together even when there are empty seats or, when crowded, why they don't time the seating of diners so that as one party ends their meal, the adjoining party would be starting -- you know, alternate -- so that strangers don't sit atop each other from app to dessert. We asked to move to one of the empty tables. No, they said. Those are reserved. Hard to believe that all of them were reserved, especially since they don't allow same-day rezzies, but whatever. They offered us a table in the bar, which we agreed to take. I mean, how bad could it be? Bad.They squeezed us into an end table between a wall and another table where once again we were closer to the people at the next table than we were to each other. The tables were so close that the server couldn't even stand beside us (or between the tables) to take our order. Not that we could hear her, what with all the noise. How do you spend $150 on dinner under these circumstances? We waited for two seats at the bar, which, after the fiasco with the seating, felt like a huge relief. Maybe it's not always this tough to get a decent seat? Maybe we were in a bad zone? I'm not going to deduct stars and whatnot for an off-evening. But if you come here expecting elegance, you should know that the seating sucks, the noise is overwhelming, and they're more corporate than craft, all things reflected in the ambiance and, as I was soon to find out, the food. Cocktails are mediocre. There are a few with cutesy names on the menu but if you ask the bartender to go off-menu -- and I mean for standards -- he or she -- I asked both -- will balk. They're not mixologists. They're cogs. Food is mediocre. The vegetarian risotto was like bland fried rice -- just an unimaginative melange of veggies tossed together without any of the creaminess so characteristic of slow-cooked arborio rice. Why bother? The beet salad was bland. The pork just okay. But you'll be glad to know that the chicken wings were tasty. I suppose if you've never eaten at a nice restaurant you could be fooled into thinking Burton's is good. But here's a measure: my teenage son thinks it's the bomb. It's probably okay for a beer and an app. Granny and the rugrats will probably be happy. But if you're stuck in the burbs and want something real, keep yelping. read more

Great food, gluten free menu! Service was good. Best to come after 8pm to avoid lines. I have enjoyed their burgers!

I was excited to learn that Burton's has a totally separate gluten-free kitchen and they are so great with making a dish vegetarian/vegan too. However, I (wrongly) assumed that since they are SO careful about gluten and vegetarian, they must be just as careful to avoid the most common food allergens. (dairy and soy being mine). I took my family to Burton's to celebrate my birthday. When ordering, I almost felt too cautious when I mentioned that I was also allergic to soy. I mean, what are the odds? About 5 minutes later, the manager came to our table to explain that the only oil they use is soybean oil. I had a salad. Everything else has meat, dairy, and/or soy. Bummer. read more

I love Burton's and always look forward to going. It is a fabulous place for after work, the appetizers are phenominal, the wine list fantastic and the cocktails are delicious (Espresso Martinis are worth a trip alone). The quality and preparation of the food is also excellent. Nothing is overly complicated or overdone - just great steaks and seafood. The bronzed seafood is a favorite!! The atmosphere is great as well - there is definitely a great energy to the place. Lots of professionals but not stuffy by any means. I have always had great service as well - whether at the bar or at a table. Burtons is not cheap - but you absolutely get what you pay for and it is well worth it. read more

We live 3 minutes away and used to dine here a couple of times a month. Although the food is good and we always found it to be consistent. We decided to stop going not because of the food, but the chaos in the bar area, where we preferred to eat. The management elects not to control the tables in the bar area so when it's busy, it's a free for all to get a table. Our last visit there was after a verbal confrontation with someone who had just arrived and rudely cut us off to grab the table. We were waiting over 30 minutes but the manager shrugged and said "first come, first serve". Yeah, that's my point. I personally spoke to the restaurant manager on more than one occasion about this easily solved problem by suggesting that anyone who wanted a table check in with the maitre 'd upon arrival to reserve a table just as one would for a dining room table. Burton's lost me as a regular customer who not only dined there but brought large groups as well. read more

My fiancé and I have been going here for a couple years now and I can honestly say neither of us has ever had a bad meal here. The food is always (always!!) consistent, the burgers and steak are phenomenal, and bartenders are great. Best burger on the South Shore, hands down. read more

Burton's can be a hit and miss. We've eaten there at least 12 times. We've been there when the service was excellent and the food was hot, delicious, with excellent service, which is why we are repeat customers. However, it is unfortunate to say that there have been 3 occasions where the service was not good-the waitress was preoccupied or had too many tables to service, and the food was ok -the presentation was sloppy and the food was lukewarm. I wish they were consistent in their service and food quality. read more

Not the best but certainly not the worst. It won't change your life but I enjoyed my meal here. It definitely beats out my experience at the Prudential Center's Legal Seafoods Restaurant. The service was excellent. The server was on top of everything and I appreciate that tremendously. We tried to keep the dinner light so we opted for the Philly Spring Rolls, Clam Chowder and split the entree, Halibut with Crab & Shrimp Risotto. The Chowder was good, very good. I'm learning that the more chowder I try when I visit MA, it gets better. Yay. The real highlight was the entree. I enjoyed it very much and the risotto was cooked perfectly. Not too mushy nor was it undercooked. It's very rare to go to chain restaurants and have meals executed well. All in all a good experience. I would recommend it to anyone. read more

Burton's is my go place for celebrating my birthday every year. Food is excellent and service is impeccable!

Very nice place! I enjoyed the sea scallops and appetizers. Drinks were made to perfection. Definitely will return...

Always crowded, can be tough to find a seat at the bar unless your there in the middle of the afternoon. Steaks and burgers are first class, seasonal specials are well worth checking out. The bread and butter with chives is dreamy, as is the chefs daily risotto, I love the fact you can sometimes make up your own risotto, try shrimp and scallop or salmon with peppers and asparagus. Getting hungry just thinking about it! read more

Overall: decent experience. The food was average. Our waitress was great with offering GF options for my SIL but we didn't really see her much in general. I ordered the California Chicken Sandwich- it was definitely lackluster- the sweet potato fries were okay, I almost feel like they could have been cooked longer. My husband had the shrimp and lobster pasta and said he really liked it. Cool vibe- would I go back?......probably not. read more

Unbelievably rude hostess No respect to customers. Server, Dani was the only reason for us to stay... The level of unprofessionalism and unpleasant look that the two hostesses gave are just horrible. I have never experienced this low level of customer service... read more

We've been to Burton's on a few different occasions, but my feelings about it remain the same. Burton's has a nice atmosphere and a nice bar area--a great place for the after work or pre-dinner drink. However, I thought the food was just "OK" for the prices. I've had scallops, shrimp, and filet mignon there and everything has been pretty good, but not quite as good as the prices might suggest. The salads are fine but there's nothing very unique about them, and on more than one occasion our service has been pretty slow (2 1/2 hours to complete a dinner...most of which was spent trying to find our waitress to order or pay the bill). Nonetheless, Burton's is in a prime location and is a great spot to meet for a quick bite with friends. I gave it three stars based mostly on location and bar. read more

Got curbside pickup the other day . Paid $30 for Salad, Baha Burger, and French fries. Burger was ordered well done and cooked medium well. No ketchup, utensils, or napkins? $30 doesn't buy what it used to. read more

Best burger in the south shore!! Make sure you make a reservations days in advanced to get a dinner table. I typically sit at the bar where you can often find a few seats or order out when I'm in a rush. Love their rolls and garlic butter...drooling thinking about it. Favorite dish? Seems silly but they make a mean chicken Cesar salad ! read more

We've been going to Burtons for years and it is usually our go to for special occasions. We went there last night, however, and were pretty disappointed. We noticed all the prices have gone up, the menu has become smaller, and the service was not nearly what we remember. My husband always gets a steak, but now it only comes with a starch and no vegetable- for more money. I always rave about their seafood options, but was disappointed when they offered their "catch" of the day as a fish from Australia. I'm having a hard time believing that that would be a fresh catch. I ended up getting a pork chop, which was delicious, but not what I went there for. It also seems as though the service has become a little more lacking. I always appreciated when the server took the time to explain the specials, and now, they simply leave an extra menu with the specials listed. When I asked a question about the menu the server seemed annoyed. The runner for our food dropped our food and never asked if we needed anything else. She barely even looked at us. At least if we are paying more for dinner, the service should be a little more involved. As much as I rave about their risottos, I think we will be trying other restaurants for our special moments for a while. I'd rather my husband and I have positive conversations over dinner, instead of complaining about the restaurant to each other. read more

Went here for dinner on a Sunday night and loved it! No wait for a table, fabulous food, friendly and attentive service, stylish but comfortable atmosphere. We will definitely be returning, though it's a bit too pricey to be much more than a place for an occasional date. I would like to return to sit at the bar because I'm sure we would equally enjoy just having drinks and apps. I drank the Ginger Basil Smash and will most likely order it again when I return. We started with the risotto fritters which were crispy and flavorful. For dinner I ordered a land and sea special pairing two crab cakes with the steak frites- both were delicious (the steak was juicy and perfectly cooked) but I would highly recommend the crab cakes. I rarely am in the mood for dessert but the hot fudge sundae caught my eye because it's topped with heath bar (my fave). Everything was great. Seriously, no complaints. read more
