    Quincy's Place in the basement at Faneuil Hall Marketplace 3/2014
    Vivian C.

    Quincy's Place is located under the Faneuil Hall Market Place cupola at basement level with an entrance/exit flight of stairs at either end of the space. Ice cream shop and candy store all wrapped up in one, it is hard to realize that they also sell food-food. That is, if you consider hamburgers and french fries as such. Heh. Whether eating in or getting take-out or ringing up a selection of their candies, you order and pay at the cash register by the center of the floor. Fortunately there was a sign posted, otherwise I'd have no idea. I ordered their Half off at the Hall deal (a February and March special) - Hamburger, Fries & Drink Combo for $5.50 (reg. $11) - which seemed a good deal till I noticed a sign posted on the cash register stating that it includes the Kids cheeseburger, which is listed as $5.95 on their menu vs the $7.95 1/4 lb Faneuil Burger, which when you add the $2.95 fries & fountain drink option to any sandwich would round up the to $11 stated regular price. Yup, I felt a bit tricked. Having patiently waited 10 going on 15 minutes seated at one of their tables, I wondered if perhaps I was supposed to wait at the counter for my order? Nope, they'd deliver. But then my burger popped out of the kitchen before I left the counter after my inquiry. The burger patty itself was okay sized, but nestled within the rather plump seeded roll, it seemed small in comparison. The texture of the patty seemed more pasty than ground, but I could still taste the beefy flavor. The fries resembled the thin cut lengths of McDonald's, but needed a hit of salt. Not bad for $5.50. Not quite worth it at $9. So $11? Nah. Initially, I was going to give them bonus points for cleanliness, as I watched the two staff members wiping and dusting when the teen candy crowd died down. But then I noticed the lady using the same Swiffer along the ledge under the candies that was previously wiped along the floor.

    My mom and I tried this place out tonight. Nobody was there when we went in - we ordered 2 burgers with 1 order of fries. Everything was very hot and very fresh. The burger meat was a little thick for our taste but it was still very good. By the time we left - there were probably about 15 people in there getting candy and ice cream.

    Think I need to talk to Quincy! I saw Quincy's Place beautifully described in a Faneuil Hall Market guide. I saw a few positive reviews here on Yelp, one stating that it was EASILY the best in burgers, fries and shakes. And then the Andrew Jackson and friends I handed over in payment for my meal to be left me with anticipation for a simply straightforward good diner breakfast. For whatever reason, I just had to try the place. The place was quiet; I imagine I was the first customer of day, arriving shortly after opening. Blame me for going without the ambiance of a buzzing crowd but it should have afforded me particular care and service. I didn't know what I was gonna have but figured I'd start with coffee and was pointed to a self serve dispenser, surrounded by paper cups, plastic wear, and sugar packets. Something about this disappointed me. Felt like a fast food restaurant I guess. Ready for breakfast, I asked about an omelet as I picked up a menu, to which attendant responded, "We're not really an omelet place but I can make you one if you'd like." However, I looked past a few breakfast sandwiches and ordered the lLumberjacks breakfast which seemed to sample the entire menu. Not sure about you but when you attach lumberjack to the name of something, I imagine a hefty plate, suitable for a hungry lumber hacking Jack! I thought I mighta been getting ahead of myself, having an "easily the best burger" ordered on standby for when I finished my breakfast but shortly arriving at the counter was a platter managing a preformed hash brown patty (I hoped it would've been shredded and grilled), a brown'n'serve sausage patty, two unbuttered, uncut, barley toasted slices of wheat bread, and maybe two eggs that were beaten and seemingly fried (I ordered them scrambled soft and now wondering what this omelet would have looked like.)- all sheltered by a plastic fork and knife. My pancakes were right beside it on a disposable plate and was accompanied by two butters and a packet of syrup. They were slightly undercooked with their peanut-butter-like gooey center. Next was the burger, which I ordered medium well. I didn't really look at the menu but he didn't inform me of the near impossibility of my request seeing that the burgers were quarter pounders. Well, I figured this out myself once I finally foraged my burger patty buried in the forest of lettuce and tomato consumed bya sesame seed bun. I was glad to have been reintroduced to the sesame seed bun; it's been a while. So, Quincy, I'm not impressed, nor pleased. It wasn't just the microwave ready breakfast or the Dixie plates it was served on. Kinda felt like the dorm room I never had and the experience wasn't rescued by some great food. I could've have done better with my money. I cut some slack figuring that it was easier on the guy who took my order took my money and cooked my food if he didn't have to wash too many dishes but... Then I thought that maybe it's admirable that he's working his way through school until I found out he already graduated some years ago and was a manager! Perhaps the ice cream makes up for it all, but I won't be back very soon to find out.

    On a hot, humid Boston day, the green monster ice cream (mint with Oreo and fudge) was fantastic!

    The Chinese name is "Juxiang Mianbao Fang聚香麵包坊". It had the taste of an old-fashioned bakery and…read morewas very cost-effective. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: The shop keeps the egg tarts in a warming box, which is very thoughtful. I've always preferred the cookie crust of old-fashioned Hongkongese egg tarts; they don't crumble or feel sticky in your throat. The custard filling looked a bit overbaked on the surface, but it was still smooth and creamy inside. The milk and egg flavors were qualified, and it was not too sweet. While not particularly amazing, it definitely deserved 4 stars, especially for a Cantonese person like me who hasn't had egg tarts in a long time. Hongkongese Egg Tart蛋撻: The crust is the same as the Portuguese egg tart, but the custard filling seems a bit more diluted, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger egg flavor. People who aren't used to it might find it a bit eggy. I still prefer the former. Custard Bread奶黃包: Recommended by the owner, and it was definitely the best thing there! I ate it the next morning, but the bread was still soft, and the crust wasn't dry. The custard filling was generous, sweet, creamy, moist, and had a slightly grainy texture. Sausage Bread腸仔包: The seasoning was quite interesting, with a hint of wasabi (?). However, the sausage itself was just average, with a slightly starchy texture. Breads generally cost $2-4 each, and here four items were only $8+, enough to last me all day Important Reminder: Cash only for orders of $10 or less.

    Came to Boston for a work trip and really wanted to eat something light and healthier. I loved it…read moreso much I came back twice! I came during lunchtime on a Monday. It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

    absolutely adore tora! one of the few places i'd always recommend in boston! fish quality is pretty…read moregood and they have a good variety on the menu! i'd recommend the aburi waygu don but also something more interesting is the kani-yaki tama don however that's a bit more if u like imitation crab! resturant inside is pretty casual and service once seated is usually good and quick however resturant itself is very small so wait times on weekends are ALWAYS long but again it's a given for how popular the resturant is! (p.s. i've been here soooo many times times so i'd also say quality has always been consistent)
