I've been to the Boston restaurant bar and grill a number of times and have some mixed emotions…read moreabout this place. My go to nights were weekdays because they have a great bartender that goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable and have exactly what you want. Outside of her the drinks are ok. I had the pizza it's pretty good, the Haitian meals give you the best value, it's loaded with sides although they're hit or miss and the downfall of this place is that they're always out of something. It's usually pretty slow with traffic and the waitstaff at times you have to look for them (especially when you're ready to leave lol). This place has great potential but I would say it's hit or miss most of the time.

Great ambiance and food. Once they get Jamsey back on the shots it's the best bar in Hyde Park.read more

It is not easy to gain access to this place…read more I arrived here at noon on a sunday, eager to start a UYE day drinking campaign. The door was locked, and the windows were opaque. I wasn't sure if the bar was abandoned, closed, or if they were just unwilling to accept my business. Moments later, what could only be a "regular" sullenly unlocked and opened the door for me. I asked "are you open?" and got an affirmative grunt in response. Master McGrath's is actually quite spacious and clean; the bar has about 15 seats, and is well-lined with small flat-screen TVs, the better to see the Sox beat the snot out of the O's. They have an internet jukebox, and a popcorn machine for free snacking. I knew right away that I was in a bar frequented almost exclusively by regulars; the surprisingly cute female bartender was eager to prepare drinks for the customers walking *in from the back door* before they sat down. I received a fairly standard silent-treatment half hour, followed by a cautious inclusion in some casual conversation. Being a gregarious individual, I soon was laughing and chatting with the regulars, and even had one of them buy me a drink, a favor I returned later. I was not able to get a Jameson - the man who bought me the drink explained that "if there's a bottle of Jameson, I'll drink it all." Of course, I didn't know if he was a manager, owner, or regular customer, but he is apparently important enough to the management that in an Irish pub, they don't stock Jameson. The buffalo fingers are top feckin' shelf. Definitely worth ordering. Hyde Park is a neighborhood that could use some more folks making the trip down to see. Lisa, the bartender, is cute and friendly, and will chat you up about shark week. All in all, not a bad way to spend three hours on a Sunday afternoon.

I am a frequent visitor to Zaz. This establishment is always clean…read more I ordered the jerk chicken was a tad dry but flavorful. The coconut shrimp was delicious and sauce is an added bonus to the meal. The wait time for food is long. It is recommended you order online or call ahead. You may still have to wait as the restaurant states food is made to order. This establishment offers seating on the oppsite site. I often see the owner at various community events which is a plus.

What went well, you ask. Ok, I'll tell ya. The food was amazing the service, although brief, was…read morepleasant and welcoming. I was only in location for as long as it took to pay and pick up the order, but I could tell right away that ZAZA is a whole vibe. Normally when I visit, my meals mostly consist of the pizzas or whatever else the kiddos come up with. This time, however I came in with different thoughts on the matter. When I saw, on the counter the remains of what she had the day before, I was more than a little leaning ZAZA way. Then when she told me about it and showed me the menu I was like F dem kids. This what we doin'. I had the salmon, she had the jerk chicken pasta, and number 1 son had shrimp. All of it was amazing. The whole experience from start to finish was perfect. Well worth the $$ and drive.

This spot has been on my "I should try that someday" list for a few years, and I'm so glad I…read morefinally made it in. The first thing that surprised me was how much seating they offer. The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

Food was alright, nothing to memorable. Our server was going home halfway through our meal and tried multiple times to close our tab. I get she wants to get her tip but it was an unpleasant experience as a guest. We were obviously here for the game like everyone else and was not planning to leave in the second quarter. Waitress kept coming back every 5 to 10 min to try and clear our plates. After the third of fourth time I just told her to take it away so they don't keep bothering us. Unfortunately that was my lasting impression after she closed the tab and went home. We could have stuck around longer to order more drinks but vibe was already ruined and it was a terrible game. Not to mention one of the TV stopped working and speakers were cutting in and out the whole time.

It was a perfect meal to split. The cole slaw also went really well with the barbeque which is important. Our waitress was great and prompt. They were serving Maine brewing's Lunch which is a particular favorite of mine. Easy parking. High marks all around. If you go, just a heads up - there are no low chairs. If you have any type of mobility problem that won't allow you to climb into a tall chair or a booth with a step you will have a hard time sitting inside here.

Hillside Pub is a solid spot for a classic bar burger. I stopped in while on a work trip and…read moreordered the pastrami burger. The half-pound patty was juicy and flavorful, and it came on a quality bun that held everything together nicely. I really wanted to love the onion rings but they were just okay. They were a little too hard for my taste, almost like they'd been fried twice. Service was friendly, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and parking was easy. The only downside was that the restrooms could use a refresh. For the price, it's a great value, and I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

My mom and I shared the poke bowl and the schnitzel…read more The schnitzel was much better than the poke. The rice in the poke didn't taste like authentic sushi rice. And the cucumbers had too much salt. But it was a generous portion so most people will like it. The schnitzel had very fresh vegetables and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. The sauce was very good so I'd tightly recommend it. Portion sizes are good. The decor was fun and the atmosphere good. Our hostess was great. What wasn't good was as our waiter. He didn't give me an extra plate when asked. And as I was finishing my meal he hovered over me waiting to take my fork and plate. Not cool as he made me feel rushed. However I would recommend this place to everyone.

Porter Café is one of those neighborhood gems that hits the sweet spot between cozy and quietly…read moresophisticated. Tucked right on Centre Street in West Roxbury, it offers the kind of relaxed pub vibe that makes you want to linger for one more drink or dessert. The bar has an impressive craft beer list and a solid wine selection, and the cocktails are mixed with care--never rushed, always balanced. The food goes well beyond standard pub fare. The pasta dishes are fresh and flavorful, and the burgers are consistently juicy and well-seasoned. Daily specials often surprise with some bistro-level creativity. Service is warm and genuinely friendly, with staff who seem to know the regulars by name. Whether you're dropping in for a casual dinner, a quiet drink, or catching up with friends at the bar, Porter Café always feels welcoming. For anyone in West Roxbury or the surrounding area looking for great food, a comfortable atmosphere, and excellent service, Porter Café never disappoints.

Every time I visit, I end up ordering something different - and I haven't had a bad dish yet. The cocktails are expertly crafted. The service has been great (we sit at the bar). If you're tired of the same old menus at every other restaurant, go here. It's easily become my favorite reliable-yet-exciting neighborhood spot.

We've come here twice and ordered the following- First time…read morefor brunch: chicken and waffles, mushroom omelette, and a side of beignets. Overall, everything tasted great (esp the fried chicken and home fries) and the portions were massive to just right. If there were a few kinks to iron out, I'd say that the beignets weren't really airy and some of the mushroom stems in the omelette were really tough and should've been discarded before cooking. Next for dinner: their fried chicken dinner which came with Mac and cheese, collard greens/broccolini, cornbread, and the tempura hake, and a side of cornbread with pecan butter. That pecan butter was delicious, we definitely asked for more. The fried chicken dinner was also amazing, every single dish in it. The hake while crispy, didn't have enough salt. The server fixed it immediately with a side of garlic aioli and that was great. If I could make a suggestion, I would say they should swap out the celery root slaw for something that goes better with the fish. Service was excellent both times. Very friendly and accommodating, always asking if we enjoyed our meal and they were quick to make things right if we had requests. Ambiance is really nice, very warm, inviting, perfect for a sit down meal. Apart from a few kinks in their dishes (which I'm sure they can resolve), I'd give them 5 stars.

Yes! This place is everything I want it to be!…read more I got the OG burger with two patties, the fries and a cookie. The OG burger was an excellently executed smash burger. I literally heard my burger get seared on the flat top, it was lacy, cheese, and hit with an excellent sauce. Fries were great too. Hot and crispy, and the person who took our order at this fast service spot, came to make sure we had extra sauce for fry dipping. Cookies were mad in house, huge and delicious. Plus the mural on the wall made for a cool burger joint vibe. This is a must go spot. I will be returning to try the loaded fries, the chicken sandwich, and another variation of the burger.
