    Porchetta sandwich
    Alyanna T.

    My partner and I shared the porchetta sandwich - TASTE: 5/5 - was not expecting the sandwich to be so good lol. The sweet peppers and relish combined w the salty pork, marinated in rosemary, garlic, and fennel, was chef's kiss TEXTURE: 4/5 - fatty pork, crunchy skin, and a tender ciabatta roll - very satisfying PRICE: 4/5 - $14 sandwich wasn't too bad SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - hearty portion and filling for lunch SERVICE: 4/5 - walked up to the counter, w no line, at 12:30pm on a Friday and the order was ready in under 5 minutes ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - one of many options at the bustling High Street Place Food Hall PARKING: 4/5 - got a metered street parking spot a couple blocks down on Oliver St

    Chicken sandwich

    We were in town for Seaport's "Snowport" winter festival and this was our first stop for food. The chicken sandwich was crispy and juicy! It could have used a little bit more buffalo sauce, but then that would probably make the sandwich soggy. For being a 5/5 coming out of a booth on a busy rainy day, I bet their main location would knock people's socks off. Also, their service was super friendly and personable!

    After half a year of working in the area, it was finally time to try Pennypacker's @ HSP. I wish it were a better experience. I wanted to be lenient, but if you ask me if I'd order the Brisket Sandwich again, I'd have to say no. While nothing was glaringly wrong, several more minor issues added to a disappointing experience. Before I throw the book at these poor folks, here are a couple positives: First, the sandwich contained a generous amount of protein! Second, the service was friendly and amply quick. Thirdly, I did immensely enjoy the lime-marinated onions. Now, the 'book': First, the bread did not work for this sandwich. The crust had substantial give, which caused this poor thing to get crushed under a bite. As a result, the fillings would start to get squeezed out after the first chomp, after the fourth, good luck. Then there is the question of veggies & cheese. As much as I enjoyed the onions, I would have liked more of them. These were already applied rather lighthandedly, and the crushing issue above didn't help things either. As for the cheese, while I am a cheese lover, I don't know what the crumbled queso fresco added here. The cheese lover in me wishes the cheese element were more impactful. Then, we come to the crux of the matter: the protein. I learned from the food-based YouTubers that salt brings out the flavor, and fat carries it; this brisket was lacking in both. The pulled meat was 95% lean, with a couple of small pieces containing any noticeable fattiness that makes brisket so heavenly. I wouldn't go as far as to call it dry, but the lack of moisture was evident. As I ate, I felt some sauce was definitely called for. It would free three birds with one key: add moistness, flavor, and salt. Finally, I was surprised that the sandwich was cold, though I don't know if that's by design. While these minor issues compounded on top of one another led to a less-than-stellar review, all are easily fixed. A different bread, an extra scoop of onion, a sprinkle of salt, a squeeze of sauce, and hopefully some fattier bits of brisket, and we are in four-star territory. Make the sandwich hot, and we might be flirting with five!

    I recently had the Porchetta sandwich after a recommendation from a friend, and it didn't really live up to the hype. It was okay. The porchetta was good but the sandwich just wasn't worth anywhere near the $15 price. We had one sandwich with the cherry mostarda and the other with the onion agrodolce per the employees recommendation. I'm glad we did that so we could try both. The mostarda was incredibly sticky to the point where each bite my teeth would feel like they were glued together. The bread however was very very good. The fried potatoes were very good and definitely recommend adding a side to your order. Service was super friendly and very quick turnaround time.

    Lifted Restaurant - Crispy fish tacos

    Lifted Restaurant

    Waterfront, South Boston

    I ordered the brussel sprouts, grilled chicken sandwich and a salmon sandwich…read more All of the food was average, nothing was over the top. The brussel sprouts were not good as it tasted like someone put an entire lemon on them. It was also outrageous to charge an 18% service charge and a 3% admin fee on food that I picked up from the restaurant. I have no idea why you have to pay over 20% in fees for food that you are taking to go. I would not recommend dining here.

    Rating: 3.5 Stars…read more Lifted is on the fifth floor of the OMNI Hotel. My friend and I stopped by around 8 PM on a Wednesday night. We went up to the hostess stand and were seated right away. Our server came by and was very friendly. However, as the night went on the service became quite slow. It took a lot of time for our food to come out and to get our to-go boxes as well. For a drink, I ordered the PINA-NO-LADA. It is basically a virgin pina colada. Very delicious and they added some nice cherries on top. For the food we shared: -CEVICHE: Great flavor and very fresh octopus. Went well with the tortilla chips it came with. -SHRIMP SCAMPI: The pasta was cooked perfectly as were the shrimp that were big and juicy. However, the sauce was overly acidic. There was way too much lemon in it. I do also wish they had more than just 4 shrimp on top of a $30 bowl of pasta. -BRUSSEL SPROUTS: Was good brussel sprouts. All in all, while the food was pretty good (with some hit or miss elements), it is such an expensive meal especially for the portion and service you are getting.

We enjoyed both the kababs and shawarma. The rice is fantastic and we tried their custom drinks which were refreshing an enjoyable. The pita is soft and a good accompaniment to the fresh hummus, which is just the way we like it. We would come back for sure. This was our first time so the staff was helpful as we made our choices. We noticed that there were many, many to-go orders that were picked up as we were dining and the drivers were quickly given their orders, they were even kind to a rather rude driver as he picked up his order. I was impressed.

Quick and easy order of the: + classic pork + tzatziki meats were tender, but wish it was hotter. fries could have been crispier a great Gryo! + truly Greek chicken the honey mustard slapped on this! Enjoyed my ladies gyro more than mine haha. I thought the portions were just right for us, they have the meats already cut from the rotisserie and slapped together our gyros efficiently and quickly! There's a reason they have so many locations! Only tidbit i would say is i wish the meats/fries were hotter. I get it though, can't be hand cutting off the rotisserie every order during rush hour. Place was super clean, ample seating. There is also a kiosk you could order from and wait for your order to be called when ready!

We got the Thai chicken meatballs which were seasoned well and had the perfect amount of spice for the coconut green curry sauce. Their beet salad was also good, the shaved fennel and avocado really helped. For our mains, we got the cider brined Berkshire pork chop and the organic chicken. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, had a good sear/crust was juicy, really my favorite. The chicken was also delicious well, not dry and seasoned well. For dessert we had the orange cream pie which was the perfect finisher.

    Tl/dr: not bad but nothing super special…read more Loved: - The chic interior and upscale vibe. - The attentive service (esp w respect to allergies). - What I'm sure is a beautiful view of the water from our table when the sun doesn't set at 5p. But the food is just ok. The 3 of us ordered 2 pastas (one entree size, one app size), and 4 or 5 apps and nothing was impressive. The pappardelle w bolognese was the highlight for me. The lemon ricotta ravioli was borderline cold by the time I cut into it which was really odd. The mozzarella was forgettable, but the pork belly was solid. The scallops that were on special were the itty bitty kind and just ok - mostly overwhelmed by whatever breading they were covered in. The best part was probably the deserts - I had the creamy Nutella something or other - and was really upset when I got to the airport in the morning and realized I left it in the hotel fridge /sad face. Crème brûlée was on point. If nothing else, their pastry chef is 100 on the land/sea/sky.

Went simple with the chicken finger & fries. Want your typical junky finger, had good meat no fat or hard stuff in it. They were nice and hot, crispy and had good flavor. Deff get the bbq and honey mustard for dipping. Service was fast and friendly, greeted everyone when they walked in (not typical for Boston lol). Inside was on the smaller side with several tables and high top seating but very clean. Menu had a solid range of options for a smaller place.. Subs, sandwiches, burgers, soups, and salads. One of those spots where you could come back a few times and try something different each visit. Only regret.. i missed the special sign that mentioned they had a breakfast burger available that sounded delicious, would've ordered that immediately instead. Overall, Stubbys is a great spot to stop in for a quick bite to eat if you are on the move with solid options to choose from.
