    Fried chicken sandwich and tater tots $18
    Joanie L.

    Revisited Local 149 for the first time in a decade at least. Very crowded and loud at 7:30 but managed 3 seats at the bar. Competent service from a very busy bartender. We enjoyed our various drinks ($12 ea) and beers (tons of choices) and I thought the fried chicken sandwich was excellent. It was advertised as Nashville hot and there was none of that which I was fine with. Plentiful and excellent tater tots.

    Oysters

    The food and service were good. The chicken sandwich was great and the wings were 10/10. The oysters and octopus were a little disappointing though

    It's hard to go wrong with a trendy brunch place in Southie. This place was really good, great service and food, but I felt like it wasn't anything too special. I would definitely go back, but if you're visiting Boston, I recommend checking out other more unique places for brunch. Not pictured was the basic mimosa I got because it's not brunch without a mimosa. The most delicious part of the meal was the mac and cheese balls. They were amazing! I always need to try the place's mac and cheese and I love when the restaurant takes it to the next level, like a mac ball! I thought it was interesting that they served in on marinara sauce, I didn't think it would work well, but it actually did. We also got the breakfast tacos, which were basic and good, can't go wrong with that. And we also go the banana fosters french toast. This was really good, really sweet though so we couldn't finish it. Overall, good basic brunch and good food.

    This is the first bad review I've written but I felt compelled because of how bad our food was. Here is a pic of my Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. A paper thin slice of chicken tendons on cold, dry, crumbly bread. A few pickles and a touch of special spicy aioli. Oh, and a small rind of romaine lettuce

    Fluffernutter

    Went here after a run around the area and decided to cancel out my whole workout by ordering the Fluffernutter and the chocolate cake. Got a Moscow mule to wash it down. The fluffernutter was heavy but good but the chocolate cake was amazing. The Moscow mule was AMAZING mainly because they make their ginger beer in-house so it's very different and SPICY. The staff was friendly although the interaction was minimal. The dining space is classic bar vibes. Overall would definitely go again for the Moscow mule. GET THE MOSCOW MULE. Overall: Food: 7/10 Drinks: 9/10 Service: 9/10 Price: 8/10

    A really cute and fun-looking place very close to the water. We sat outside since it was a nice day, and were well distanced from other tables. The food was great! The home fries were amazing-super crispy and well seasoned. The tacos were not too heavy and a great way to start my morning. Only slight issue, recognizing these are hard times, was service was a bit slow. We didn't get water for a while, nor did anyone take our order for a while. This may have been a unique experience since we saw others served more promptly, but just my personal experience that day! A great place to check out, and definitely order something with home fries.

    Our one food stop for Massachusetts. We heard about Boston's deep fried Fluffah Nutta and it did not disappoint. The cod was delicious with the yummy Parmesan sauce on top. My two older children loved their burgers (along with 5 options for potatoes - french, sweet, tot, waffle, mashed). Server was EXCELLENT in a friendly and fast way but not overly so. I would love to come back and try their other menu fares. I almost forgot the atmosphere is also entertaining. Okay, bumping it to 5 stars. They deserve it! Dine inside or outside or takeout right now.

    NASHVILLE CHICKEN SANDWICH

    Great service for Sunday brunch. Absolutely loved the girl dinner drink! The chicken nachos were a great starter and we both loved our meals. Very filling taking half home for lunch!

    Pulled chicken tacos

    Came in on a rainy Friday and the place was jam packed - we immediately put our names in for a table and began huddling near the bar to grab a couple of stools. The place was packed with small groups and dates so knew this was the place to be on a Friday. We ordered a couple of beers and omg they were pricey - I understand that Maine Beer Co could be considered premium and limited in distribution but $10 for less than a pint is just kind of crazy to me.. We ended up waiting over 45 minutes and actually had to go back up to the hostess to remind her that we were waiting - there was a point where we noticed that there were a couple of tables vacant for more than 10 minutes and nobody else waiting for a table, so we were seated in one of those. Service was quick and friendly once we were seated. We had some time to look around and tacos seemed like the way to go so we each got the tacos and they were delish. We also caught a glimpse of someone's tater tot order and we had to get those too..definitely get the tots as an app. Bottom line is that the set up of the restaurant is cool, the beer is cold and the food is good so maybe give it a shot if you've got some time for a drink before dinner.

    We stopped here for brunch today after a cancer walk down the street. The waitress was great while ordering and serving but then disappeared for a bit too long. The drinks and food were delicious. The home fries were great but had a little spice to it. It was odd that they were not able to do a side of hash though. It was a great find and a place to spot and try!

    We walked in to Gray's Hall and met the person at the door. He told us it may be 20 minutes. He…read morecame to get us after just 5 minutes but the seats were at the bar but stools did not have backs so we declined. He said give me a minute. He rearranged the table settings and got my friend and I a table for 2. Then our server came over and gave an overview of the place. We asked about the chilled red wine. He brought us 2 tastings. We loved. Proceeded to order 2 burgers, fries and grilled carrots. The food was amazing. Given the most welcoming greeting and service, coupled with delicious food, I could not recommend this place any more. Truly a gem in Southie!

    You must order the kale salad. I am not a kale salad person, yet I have dined here three times in…read morethe last week to eat the kale salad and am already planning my next visit. You know when you're eating a kale salad and the pieces are too big and you're kind of cramming them into your mouth and then the salad dressing is all over your face? This is NOT that salad! The kale is perfectly chopped so you can enjoy it with just your fork as you talk to your friend/spouse/date or just read your book. The dressing is such perfection, and the perfect amount, no gloopiness here! Crunchy breadcrumbs add magical texture and then there's a shower of finely grated gouda cheese on top. Have you ever read a good book and as you're reading it, you're so into it that you don't want it to end? So you slow down your reading speed to make it last a little longer? That's how I feel about this salad. There are other delicious items on the menu, I saw someone eating the burger that looked so good, I also want to try the Brussels but the call of the salad siren is too strong. Everyone is super welcoming and friendly, especially Catherine, and the kitchen team even shared the dressing recipe with me. Excellent wine list, casual and cozy space with twinkle lights, a lot of bar/counter seating, great date spot. Also attached/sister company to American Provisions I believe (great spot in Southie for sandwiches, cheeses, wines, pastries, rare food items).

    The prettiest restaurant in Southie. Really, it's such a beautiful space, dimly lit and buzzing…read morewith happy diners. The ricotta toast was pretty and slightly sweet with fresh peas and pickled red onions. Arancini was deeply fried and delicious. Pizza margarita was perfect. Pasta was good but a bit overcooked. Steak frites was a bit bland and needed some salt. Frites were very basic fries, unevenly cooked. Not quite perfect but I would absolutely come back and stick to cocktails, appetizers, and pizzas. It was so fun and such a gorgeous place. Also, we found lots of easy street parking.

    Is this place French? Italian? New American? Anyway it's in southie with typical Southie parking…read moreso take an uber. Once you are inside, though, it's special. The space is undeniably beautiful with a feminine and Parisian design. Even on a packed night, the noise level was surprisingly manageable. A huge part of the vibe was our server, Cait. She was incredible. She managed to be attentive without hovering and was genuinely friendly. She made the night feel even more special. Here is the breakdown: * Charred Scallion Dip (4/5): Good portion for sharing with kettle chips but needs more onion flavor. * Prosciutto Arancini (3/5): $20 for four tiny balls is a tough sell so I would skip these. * Fried Artichokes (5/5): Actually the best appetizer we ordered. * Brussels Sprouts (4/5): The new hot honey prep is tasty but serving them on top of blue cheese made it a bit too busy. * Classic Caesar (5/5): Lot of anchovy flavor in the dressing makes this elite. * Butternut Squash Ravioli (6/10): very sweet. This is for you if your like sweet or want dessert. * Margherita Pizza (5/5): dough is fantastic they must make it from scratch and that stands out. * Sweet Sausage Pizza (5/5): Just as good as the margherita and proves the pizza program here is legit. * Skillet Cookie (5/5): You can never go wrong with a warm skillet cookie. * Palm Negroni (5/5): I wanted more coconut initially but the balance actually ends up being perfect. * Espresso Martini (4/5): Solid and not too sweet considering there is no actual espresso in it. * Eros Sour (5/5): Unique and balanced. The food is generally strong, but the pricing on some of the small plates feels off, especially that arancini. The pizzas are a real stand out. Bathroom Review: There are two single stall gender neutral restrooms with baby changing stations. They are very clean. Loved the floor tile and they stock high quality paper towels.
