Our waitress was inattentive, the silverware was dirty, and the food was inedible. Waitress didn't seem bothered that we hadn't eaten more than a bite. We paid full price for a meal we didn't eat. read more

Stopped in here for lunch on a trip to Boston. Service at the bar was friendly and fast. I was greeted quickly and served a nice cold beer while I decided what to have. I started with the clam chowder and then had the Connecticut style warm lobster roll. They were both excellent, some of the best I've had in the area. The restaurant/bar is great with a cozy feel, tvs and plenty of seating. read more

The spinach salad is fabulous and the burgers delicious. The bread for burger and chicken sandwich were both really fresh and soft. It's a comfortable brick bar atmosphere but quiet enough to talk. Service was great too. Highly recommend! read more

Granary Tavern - Burger with sweet potato fries and spinach salad - New American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Met some family here because it was close to the hotel. Their food was fine. Service a little inattentive and disengaged, which led to a bit more waiting around than I typically like. I would say though we had a bunch of kids and if you were here with just adults, it's probably be better. Good beer list and cold drinks. read more

Great food and location. Was in town with a group of friends for a hockey game and this place was perfect!

I don't typically leave reviews, especially bad ones. However, I am extremely disappointed with my experience for dinner last night. When we first arrived, we were very happy to see how nicely decorated it was for the holidays. The host was able to sit us right away and we were so excited to eat. Our waitress came over to take our drink order and then took our appetizer order. The food came quickly and we loved our mussels and popcorn shrimp. However, our waitress never came back to check in on us or take our entree order. It took me waving her down for her to come back, and she did not seem thrilled to take the rest of our order. Again, the food came quickly and we began to enjoy our food. We were able to look past the service until we saw the mouse. We come from New York City, so we are no stranger to rodents, however never in the restaurant we are eating at. We understand in big city these things happen, but we still didn't love it happening while eating dinner. We let our waitress know as soon as she walked by. She didn't seem to know what to do, which is understandable. Nevertheless, we expected them to not sit anyone else in the dining room, since it was crawling around the whole dining area. The waitress told us she had informed someone, but then we see the host continuing to sit people at the tables it was crawling under. We had to inform the patrons about the mouse and they requested to move. We wanted to then speak to the manager, something we never do, because we wanted to make sure someone knew about it. We at this point had abandoned our food, which was a shame because it was very good. We became distracted about the mouse crawling around in front of us. When the manager came over, he informed us that he knew about the mouse but said he had been in the room a couple of times and didn't see it, also he knew we were leaving so that's why he didn't come over. We weren't expecting that response, and to be honest not thrilled about it. We did not expect anything to come from this but a little bit of acknowledgement and ownership would have been nice. The response made it seem like we were lying about the mouse? So to avoid any more confusion, here is the video of part of our mouse adventure. While not pleasant to see while eating it's not what made me want to leave the review, what was worse was the restaurant's response. Hopefully they were able to safely remove the mouse, otherwise I hope it's enjoying its new home. If you do go make sure to say hi to our friend Mickey. read more

obviously it's the location not yelp reviews that generate traffic for this restaurant, but still. Serving stiff, many times over microwaved, incomplete steak and the ignoring the question: "why is it not medium rare as asked "- is very disturbing. Because of my medical condition, I didn't want to argue, but I will sure remember that waste of $48 for a long time. read more

Came here after visiting the aquarium. Was with a friend from college. We haven't seen each other in years. The Brunch menu has a great selection of breakfast and lunch items. It's definitely decently priced. We all got the fried chicken sandwich. It was the most delicious chicken sandwich I've ever had. It wasn't spicy at all - maybe a tiny kick. The breading was perfectly crispy. No chewy parts of the chicken. The bun was perfect and buttery. The fries were great. I also had a cocktail called Witch Hazel. There was a little spiciness in that. They also have a good kid's menu and high chairs for toddlers. For a Saturday afternoon I thought it would be more crowded but it wasn't. Service was fast and great. Hadn't been here before in our 15 years living here and we will most definitely be back. read more

Ambiance, eats, and drinks welcome you into this totally cool place. I like older places -- a lot. And this is it. It's large, kind of loud, and darn good. The clam chowder is so delicious!!! There's are lots of other offerings, including sandwiches (including a lobster roll). Chicken and waffles, mac and cheese, salmon, fish & chips -- lots of choices. And a first rate bar!!! read more

We were so hungry when we got here. We just finished doing the entire Freedom Trail and we were starving. We were seated immediately. The service was decent. The place has charm and character to it. The beers are cold. My party got the clam chowder and I got the hamburger and fries. Everything was excellent. I killed the hamburger. We would go back. Prices were reasonable for the area. read more

The food was not very good, but that is not what dinged this review. We had a large group with a reservation, and yet they were highly unaccommodating. Some members of the staff were unprofessional, though most of them were kind. I just had a really unexceptional experience mixed with poor attitudes from a few that left a bad taste. I don't think I will return. read more

Very cool ambiance coupled with average food, service and loud noise. Looks great but not my cup of tea for a sit down meal. I might visit for a night call drink or two. read more

Sat outside because it was nice outside and inside was so dark. I ordered the avocado corn flatbread which had: 1/4 of an avocado, 10 kernels of corn, and 1 cherry tomato. It was 90% cheese, which was listed as the last ingredient, which usually means it's the least used item....service did not bring us a bottle of water (which others had) and out table saw no employees for long enough (our mini glasses were empty) that we had to go inside and find someone. Our server was only seen to take our orders and bring the check. Water and food were brought by others. read more

It was ok, there are many other restaurants that are better within a short distance, but it wasn't terrible. Food was overcook and under seasoned, and our server never came to check in on us. Sides were missing, and we had to chase them down ourselves since he never came back except to drop the check. Overall I would skip this place the next time I'm in Boston. I had the lobster roll and could tell right away that something was wrong with it, but never had the opportunity to tell our server as he wasn't the one who ran the food. read more

Overall, we had an okay experience here! Solid 3 stars. The service was good, the vibe and atmosphere was great, super cute place with great outdoor seating. The food was just alright. The tavern sandwich was very unique tasting but good (3 stars). The Caesar salad was okay, but they put too much dressing on it so I would recommend asking for the dressing on the side! The Boston Dip sandwich was good (4/5) stars! And the salt and vinegar dip was okay, a bit too strong of a blue cheese flavor for me though (2.5/5). The prices were decent, with it being in a great and central location. read more

We tried sitting outside but it was a bit too windy when we sat down so we decided to move inside. They accommodated our party of 4 no problem. It was a Saturday around 4pm. Hostess wasn't overly friendly. The waiter was tentative and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is a bit loud but it's to be expected with the design. It's a different vibe, and there is a downstairs seating area as well which we've sat in before during another visit. I got the french dip which was good. The bread was fluffy and the meat was tender but not "rare" as stated on the menu. Homemade potato chips were tasty. My partner enjoyed his fish and coleslaw. Fries were nothing to really write home about but still passable. read more

We have eaten here several times over the past 3-4 years, and every time, we've thoroughly enjoyed the food. I love the diverse menu options, and especially the kid's menu for my son. I have loved every dish I have gotten (most recently, the Chopped Salad - Romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, bacon, VT Cheddar, black beans, butternut squash, peppitas, house ranch dressing). It was DELICIOUS. I had trouble deciding what to get, and am SO glad I went with this. We sat outside most recently, and it was so pleasant. I love that they have outdoor seating - and love the new seating on the side with the greenery (wish we had sat there! Looks so quiet and intimate). Overall - one of our favorite family-friendly places in the city. read more

If I could give this "establishment" 0 stars I would. This is due to the lack of service by the staff. My party and I waited for 20min+ and no staff approached our table. As we left the establishment I noticed the wait staff all hanging around at the bar. No food, No service, mid-tier atmosphere. read more

We stopped here for lunch after a great visit to the Boston Aquarium across the street, and everything about our meal was fantastic. My wife wanted to try some clam chowder and have a salad, so we got a bowl and a Caesar Salad for her, and I got the Fish & Chips. We shared our meal, and my son got the Chicken Pesto Flatbread. Our server, Justin, was pleasant and attentive, and brought our food promptly, checking in to see if we needed anything a couple of times despite the busy lunch hour. We had a wheelchair that was easily accommodated and the staff were so friendly and helpful! We felt very welcome immediately. The chowder was freshly made, and not from a can! The potatoes were diced nicely in it, and not overcooked. It was rich and flavorful. The salad was crisp and delicious too. The fried Cod in the Fish & Chips was cooked perfectly, crisp and not too greasy. The coleslaw that came with it was the best coleslaw I have had in years. It was perfect, with a dressing that wasn't too sweet, but perfectly balanced. My son loved his flatbread, with fresh basil, pesto chicken and some spicy arugula sprouts on top for a little crunch and flavor. We had a window seat that allowed us a sunny view, and the interior decor is warm wood and historic without being corny or 'cracker barrel' like. The prices were also excellent too. We will definitely eat here again the next time we are in Boston. Two thumbs up and five stars! read more

I had a wonderful lunch experience this week at Granary Tavern! First off, the staff were unbelievably kind and welcoming - they were all easygoing yet attentive, and our orders came out quickly (which often isn't the case around lunchtime in the financial district - many restaurants tend to get busy and hectic around that time!) The interior is great - definitely has a pub-like/tavern vibe (as the name suggests), but with plenty of natural light by the windows. I've only been there for lunch, but it seems like it would be a great pick for dinner as well, ambiance-wise. Top 3 orders: Espresso martini: Ah, my favorite. I got my espresso martini with Bailey's, but they make it both ways! I loved the flavor - definitely pretty strong, and not too sweet but you could taste every ingredient. Added bonus - looked beautiful with the classic three espresso beans on top! French onion soup: I order this pretty much everywhere I go, and am literally addicted to cheese, but with those two things aside this French onion soup was so, so good!! Amazingly cheesy and when I received it, the bread/crouton portion of the soup wasn't soggy by any means. The broth was a bit salty but had a ton of onions in it - all in all would DEFINITELY order again. Emphasizing the cheese-based perfection here! Truffle fries: YOU NEED TO GET THESE! Whatever you do, get these truffle fries. The flavor was UNREAL, they had so much shaved parmesan, and they were perfectly crispy. I had mine with the lobster roll (which was also SO good) and probably could've spent my whole meal just eating these. Couldn't recommend more! (Note that my fry habits are a little out of the ordinary - I always like mine with a mayo/aioli instead of ketchup - and their mayo was 10/10 with the fries.) Thanks to Granary Tavern for an excellent lunch. I'll definitely be back soon - such a great place for a lunch during the work day or a dinner afterwards! read more

We loved the cute seating and diverse aesthetics here. Our server Olivia was awesome! She helped sub out fries and even got extra pita chips for our spinach dip app, which we didn't even ask for. It was our favorite dish. As for the rest, the burger and flatbread were good. Very well made, but not something to crave. The steak, though an incredible and fresh cut of bistro cooked to a perfect medium rare, was not seasoned, at all. It tasted as if the chef forgot salt. Luckily our salt shaker was full. For all the competition they have in the area, it's a hard sell coming back again. read more

This place was super good and we got to sit outside which was fun! I ordered the chicken and waffles as my entree and it was really good and the fruit was a good touch. Probably one of the better chicken and waffles I've had. We shared a truffle Parmesan fry and those were really tasty too. The person I was with got fish and chips and said they were super tasty! read more

We had exactly an hour before our aquarium tickets time entry slot, and popped into The Granary Tavern for a quality meal before hitting the tourist attractions. It was 1:00 p.m. on a busy Monday afternoon and we got the last table available. Our server was efficient if not super friendly. Drinks arrived right away and we had our food within 15 minutes. I had the shrimp tacos, which were amazing. Homemade thick corn tortillas plump well seasoned shrimp and an excellent crema topping. I loved this dish. Son had a cheeseburger with bacon and pronounced the fries to be exceptional. Drink refills and check were handled promptly and we were at the aquarium by 1:45. I am impressed that they can turn out this high quality food, this quickly, for a packed house. Great job! read more

An awesome outdoor set up (both sides of the corner) and we loved that they completely open up the windows when the weather was in the 80s. Grabbed dinner here on a visit to Boston. The drinks were strong and the Guinness was great! The chicken and waffles were tasty as was the clam chowder. The Ahi poke bowl was meh on the quality of fish and tiny portion of fish! The service was quite slow. Overall a great location and the food was hit or miss but we had a great time! read more

Fabulous watering hole and oasis for getting you back into the groove to continue on your adventures! Cold water and a Fiddlehead beer (recommended by locals and now by me:) to start the dining experience is a must for my revival!! The Fiddlehead was a perfect pair to go with the Thai Asian salad and Fish and chips. The last two items were five stars in themselves, so good, flavorful! The cod, lightly breaded and probably the best I've ever had, period - and I've caught my own rock cod in NW WA. The Thai S was so tasty and had so many flavors, it was just what we needed. Splitting the two dishes between the two of us was perfect! The waitress was so sweet and helpful as well. She must have seen how tired we were and let us rest and enjoy the coolness of the restaurant as long as we wanted. read more

Our server forgot to put my husband's dinner order into the kitchen. When we asked about it she said she "thought he had already received it" because when she came to check on us, we said everything was fine so far (we had our appetizer). Later she told us they had delivered his meal to another table. Then we waited a ridiculous amount of time just to pay the bill. They took my husband's dinner off the bill, but we won't return. read more

For a tavern, which I usually don't frequent, I love this place. Nice interior atmosphere with dark hardwood floors, black leather seats, dim lighting but not too dark, tall tables with prominent but not too big of a bar. Wherever I go, if I see sweet potato fries on the menu, I order them. These are the BEST I've had... maybe ever. Cut fresh and perfectly golden. An order is like 2-3 portions to me. Absolutely delicious at a decent price. Oh yes, and they have Bell's Oberon on draft! I lived in Michigan and it's Michigan's best. I haven't seen it in a liquor store, let alone on draft, here in Boston. Definitely try out Granary. It's located on the Boston Greenway and has outdoor seating for the summer. High fives, Granary. read more

We went in the morning for breakfast so it was very fast service. The food was pretty good, but it could have been better. My boyfriend ordered the french toast, which he thought was good and I had the Granery. Mine was okay but I would have liked my eggs to be a little more scrambled and my cheese to be melted IN my eggs and not just laying on top. This place was around the corner from the hotel I was staying at and so it was in a very convenient location. The bar area looked fully stocked so I would imagine this place is more popular at night. read more

In today's world where it seems customer service lacks with little interaction from service staff by way of scanning a QR code, what do you want to eat, here you go and now pay, and, if service is poor it is because we are short staffed, many places have lost their touch or level of service for which they were once known. Some may disagree, but I would almost prefer a place shut half of its restaurant, bar or hotel down to continue providing that high level of service rather than hurt or ruin their reputation. All that to say, it does not seem to be the case with Granary Tavern. The staff come across as a very professional and attentive team. To add to it, they are very welcoming and attentive. Customer service is very apparent. I did order all food at once thinking it would be well timed. The main entree came around the third spoon of the delightful Chowder. This allowed my main course to cool down before I was ready to eat. I am sure this is not normal. T and team quickly helped and made sure things were to my satisfaction. I was extremely satisfied with how they cared for me and ensured I had a great meal. Wow! Customer Service Wins Here!!!! Surely it may be wondered why an issue would make me rate this restaurant so high. All i can say again is I do not believe what happened is a normal occurrence, but it is the customer service that blew me away. Of course the food was very good too. Like so many Yelp! reviews, the Chowder is great, and it's a nice big cup as well. For someone seeking a small lunch/dinner, this could be the meal in itself. The Lobster Roll warmed in butter was delicious. As were the fries. The overall sounds and atmosphere are very fitting for this establishment. Tavern is in the name. If you need a quiet place to eat, this is not it, but don't get my review wrong. It isn't obnoxious or overwhelming. It is perfect for a nice casual meal. When sitting near the stairs, be prepared for more noise than usual. It sounds as though the kitchen is below, and the service staff who I am sure make the trek up and down more than they may wish have found quick ways to traverse each step. It can be a little noisy and rumbly. But it is the way the business is setup, and it ads to the atmosphere. Take a moment to check out Granary Tavern when downtown. Traveling a lot for work, they have a new loyal customer when I come to Boston. Thank you Granary Tavern!!!!! read more
