Waiting for flight so decided to have a burger at this place. I ordered simple chicken tenders, husband had Sam smash burger. Food was good. Typical bar food. Service a little confusing. Order via barcode did not work for me. On line menu was confusing coz too many drinks/cocktails before you able to see food menu. I approached server he put in order for me. Busy atmosphere. I forgot to take pictures. Sorry. read more

Sam Adams - Menu barcode. - American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I like Sam Adams. The Boston Lager, Octoberfest, and the Winter Ale. (Not the Winter White). Jim Koch - like the guy. What I don't like is hype. I have been aware of Utopias for a decade. Finally had the chance to try it. Didn't know what I expected, maybe a genie popping out of the bottle? It's a Belgian with a genius Marketing Team behind it. It was good and I'm glad I was able to try it. In my opinion; not $400 a bottle good. Thanks read more

The Scarlet Vetter says....while waiting for a flight back home in the Boston Logan Airport I had some time to kill and was feeling a little peckish. I stopped into this place as there was room at the bar and other places seemed very busy, given that it was the weekend of the Boston Marathon. There was a QR system to order but halfway through the bartender asked me what I wanted so I placed an order that way. I ordered a glass of wine and a glass of water. The wine came but no water. The wine was served in a nice sized glass. I asked again for water and five minutes later it arrived. I ordered a Chicken Quesadilla....it was mighty mediocre. Not well presented either, but at least it was warm. When I wanted to leave, it took 10 minutes to get the bartender's attention (who always seemed to be doing something other than paying attention to the patrons.) If you are starving, and there are not other options, by all means, go here. But you might do better at a different restaurant. read more

This is in the airport. I went when nobody was eating. It was just a couple people at the bar with drinks only. They don't let you sit in a booth when you are a single. I guess when it's crowded it makes sense. I ordered pretty quickly. That's where the positives end. About 10 minutes after me, someone else walks in and sits at the big table with me. She orders and gets her appetizers before me. About 25 minutes after I ordered, my clam chowder arrives. I thought I had plenty of time. Now I don't. Boarding is in 5-10 minutes and I still have to walk a ways. As you can see in the picture, the spoon looks like they found it on the side of the road. Not only is it not a soup spoon, it looks like it could be found in a prison. Soup is average. It's hot though! Tacos arrive after I push the soup away. Wow they look great as you can see from the photo. After a few bites, it tastes really dry. I think they forgot to put the sauce on there. Unfortunately, I don't have 25 minutes to wait for a replacement. I eat 2 of the 3 and ask for the check. He did bring the check fast. I guess I should have ate at the other seafood place. read more

Wasn't able to go to the Sam Adams Brewery while I was in town for a conference. Was super excited that there is now a little Sam Adams satellite restaurant in the airport. It offers a lot more food options than the main brewery in JP. Fewer beer options, though... I think they really only had maybe 4 Sam Adams beers on tap? Decent location to grab a quick beer before a flight. Came around lunch time but it wasn't too busy. Surprisingly took a bit of time for my food to come out even though I ordered basic chicken tenders lol. The atmosphere was pretty cool though. Gives a chill bar scene and makes you forget that you're stuck at Logan Airport lol. read more

The Bloody Mary was good. Not the best I've ever had, but not bad... The fish tacos were surprisingly bland considering all the ingredients listed for them. Service was horribly slow, but I understand that's an issue wherever you go nowadays. Just at an airport, it just doesn't work that well. The prices were high, but I guess that's standard at an airport. Just seems WRONG, seein' as it's the same food / drink you'd get elsewhere. Would probably try another restaurant if I were in this particular concourse of the Boston airport. read more

Visited this establishment waiting on our flight back home. Also got hooked on the Oktoberfest while in Boston. Darn this beer for only being seasonal, what ever will we drink the rest of the year. This was our first visit to Boston, so I had to do all the cliche stuff. Had the clam chowder here. It was good. The drinks were pricy. read more

Definitely worth every penny, and probably more. My girlfriend and I aren't really beer drinkers, but what the heck, when in Rome. The tour was nice, it was mostly in one big room and the tour guide talking. But hey, we had beer in our hands the whole time. They explain the history and that this brewery is now really used for research and development which is neat because you can taste what they're working in. Then they bring you to a tasting room and explain how you should taste a beer as a professional would. Overall, top notch, worth the price and definitely something to do while in Boston! Highly recommend. read more

Was looking for something to do when our flight was delayed for a day. Had a fantastic tour of the brewery! Guide was very knowledgeable and engaging. Super easy to schedule our tour on their site. Beer was excellent. Would absolutely go back if I find myself in Boston again!! read more

Party of 3 sat at bar 6:00 PM. Nasty bar top which the bartender cleaned our area after he told us the kitchen was closed and we informed him we only wanted drinks. Threw some coasters and menus down and walked away. Returned about 5 minutes and we ordered 2 mixed drinks. Drinks were ok, but not long after that he informed us the bar was closing and would we like another round. It's 6:15PM at this point and seems early to close an airport establishment with flights coming and going in the area. Meh...would come back if nothing else open. read more

Our food and drinks were great!!!We had time so didn't mention a need to rush... but woah!Slowwww service. Our server was Milly. No water/ greeting for 10-15 minutes then another 10-15 to take order for food. We watched many people who came after us come, eat and leave before we got our food. Then we ordered a drink and it took another 15 full minutes to get it. Maybe it was due to us not raising a stink about a flight but really? read more

Great place to grab a beer and snack. Freshest Sam Adams on tap aside from the brewery. The pricing for drinks and beverages was a little steep for what you get. However I get the appeal. Great gift shop with fair prices. read more

My friend and I are in town in Boston for a few days and wanted something fun and different to do. Neither of us had ever done a brewery tour, so voilà. We came in about five minutes after a tour had left but they helped us join that tour so that we wouldn't have to wait an hour. We started by learning about the ingredients in beer and did a hop smell test. After we were walked through the actual brewing process. Super cool and informative! The end was a tasting which included a demonstration into how judges actually appraise the quality of beer. Super cool, and our guide was very fun. All around great way to spend an hour in Boston, and you can go to the tasting room after if you want to try even more of their beer - this Sam Adams does their R&D so you can actually taste some of the hundreds of beers that will never make it onto the market! read more

Sam Adams - American Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I just wanted to grab a soft drink and wait for a bit for my flight at the bar. There wasn't a big crowd. The server asked me if I was eating and when I said no, just a drink she looked put off and insulted. I had to ask for a refill, I had 3 refills (because the glass was so full of ice). She looked at my glass several times and never once asked if I would like a refill. When the check came for $8.00 I noticed she rang me up for 2 drinks and 2 refills! I tried to get her attention and ask her about this but she wouldn't give me the time of day. I did not see any mention of only one refill per soda on their menu or graphics. The food looked good, but I will never go here again. Bottom line if you are not eating you aren't worth their time! read more

All the beer we went for was sold out. Opted for some of the others on tap which were good. Merchandise store is HUGE. Nothing is free tho not even stickers. They have games out front... Once it was time to close they were not playing around. They moved faster than I saw all night! read more

Every beer geek starts somewhere in the craft beer world. I will always have a soft spot for the beers that I started on in my craft beer path. These include: Sam Adams Boston lager, cherry wheat, DFH 60 minute IPA and brown ale and guinesss. These are my gateway beers into the craft brew world. In 2009 I went to Boston and visited the Sam Adams brewery, the first of now over a hundred that I've been to. After a short walk from the train stop we arrived and went on the tour. Now I can recite to you what will be said in most brewery tours, they all follow the same recipe. Come look at the giant tanks that we boil the malt and hops in, it's now called mash. By the way, beer is 4 ingredients- water, malt, yeast, hops. Did you know about the German beer law? Here's a malt taste it, here's a hop smell it. Look at all of our barrels of beer storing and here's some history of our company, in this case Jim Cook. Now this being the first tour I've ever done, I was actually very entertained and learned quite a bit. Fast forward to the tasting room. The trick here is to go with at least a few people who don't drink beer. Seeing as I went with a bunch of Asian people who get the Asian glow (allergic reaction to alcohol), that way I got at least 2 glasses of each beer. I can't remember how many beers I had for some reason... but I recall part of the line up was Boston lager, Boston ale, Octoberfest, cherry wheat, cream stout, and maybe their light. All of their beers are solid and easily accessible to all beer drinkers. The rest of my time at the brewery is fuzzy so let's end my story here. If you are interested in beer but don't know where to start, this is a great first step into craft beer. The gateway of craft beer! I highly recommend this to all aspiring alcoholics. Atmosphere: 4/5 Food/drink: 4/5 Cost: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Overall: 4/5 read more

Wonderful tour - we went on a Friday afternoon, which is perhaps why it wasn't super crowded and we had VERY generous tastings! I don't think I would go out of my way to visit the tasting room, but the free tour is completely worth it and extremely informational, especially given the instructive tastings. My friend and I had the best time here - such a great activity to do in Boston! read more

4:01pm: Plane is delayed. F*ck! 4:19pm: What's that in the distance??? A Sam Adams brew house??? 4:20pm: Hmmm... (in Larry David voice) delay is sounding pretty good...preeeeeetty...preeeeetty...preeeeeetty good. 4:28pm: Beer #1: Sam Adams Summer Ale - crisp with a lemon flavor and a little spice. Love it...probably one of my favorite domestic beers. 4:37pm: Beer #2: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat - Kind of a fruity flavor...not making my list of favorite beers anytime soon. But of course I will finish it. 4:59pm: Beer #3: Sam Adams Creamy Stout - I like it...don't love it...all this stout talk got me wanting a... 5:11pm: Beer #4: Guinness - Shocker right? I love the black gold. While it is a step below the real deal in Ireland (yes European Guinness tastes better than American Guinness). I am really a little tipsy...might need to slow down...naaah. 5:26pm: Back from a piss break. Beer #5: Another Sam Adams Summer Ale - I love this beer. So delicious and goes great with the burger and fries I ordered. 5:55pm: Beer #6: Sam Adams light - Call me crazy but I like the light over the original. 6:20pm: Beer #7: Sam Adams Octoberfest - Although this is seasonal, since the place is an official Sam Adams brew house, they have them all here year round according to the bar tender. So it was nice to have this tasty beer in May. 6:49pm: Sadly I must go now. But I am feeling great about my flight from Boston to Los Angeles now. 7:47pm: Get on the plane and am able to nap easily. Thank you Sam! p.s. You can find this gem right by the entrance to Terminal C. read more

Christ, I can't believe I'm writing reviews for restaurants INSIDE airports. But I gotta look out for my fellow travelers ... Their cheeseburger was actually damn good - and the fries weren't your normal, run of the mill starchy tubers. Definitely had some extra zip added to them. Tasty. Round it out with a beer or three and you'll be all set for your flight. read more

4 stars for an airport restaurant? Yeah, you read that right. Surprisingly tasty sandwiches at decent prices. Great view of the tarmac. A super friendly and funny waitress with the most ridiculous Boston accent ever. Several varieties of Sam Adams on tap. What's not to love? read more

Whether you have friends visiting from out of town, or you just feel like having fun and drinking beer early on a Saturday, I highly recommend the Samuel Adams brewery tour. Two of the five times I've been there, I was able to take a tour as soon as I walked in the door. The other three times, I had to wait about an hour, but the wait was very painless. Instead of making you wait in line, they give you a ticket, and tell you when to come back. In the meantime, you can hang out in the lobby, send postcards to your friends with free postage, shop at the gift shop, or have some food and coffee at the nearby Ula Cafe. The tour is fun and free (although there is a suggested donation of $2 to the charities they support). All of the tour guides are very friendly and knowledgeable. After the tour, there is a free tasting. In theory, you are only supposed to get three 4 oz samples of beer (and a 4 oz souvenir glass). In reality, you can usually get more if you want it; the trick is to sit at a table with people who don't drink much. Try to save room for one more beer, and hold onto your ticket, because you'll need it when you go to Doyles Cafe after the tour. There's a free trolley that takes you from the brewery to Doyles. It's also a short walk. When you buy a beer at Doyles, and show them your brewery tour ticket, they give you a free Samuel Adams pint glass (a $7.50 value). There is a cool story behind the pint glass, but instead of writing that here I'll let you hear about it from your tour guide. read more

The Sam Adams Brewery tour was a blast. It isn't too long either - perfect amount of time. It was pretty awesome learning more about how the beer is made without it being boring. It's also really nice to know the "free" ticket money goes to local charities! Our tour guide, Willy, was awesome! He was also from Cincinnati (my home turf) so he spent a lot of time chatting with us after noticing a UC hat. Very friendly and great at giving tours! The tasting portion of the tour was fun and they give you a cute little sampling glass to take home and keep. Nice little gift shop too. They also recommended Doyle's cafe for food/drink. We went there after the tour and if you show you that you were at the tour, you get a free Sam Adams pint glass. Loved the experience! read more

Pros of the tour: lots of free beer and you can keep the glass they provide Cons of the tour: it was very generic and absolutely packed and you don't get to learn about what makes Sam Adams unique. I'd recommend Harpoon over Sam Adams. read more

Why hasn't this franchise caught on to the rest of New England!!! Airport food is usually horrible, but you'll find great pub fare here, especially by airport standards. But the Sam on tap is all you need to know to park your luggage here before your flight. Also if your time it right when you double your buzz for free as soon as they pressurize the cabin. read more

i have always enjoyed sam adams beer but am rating just on the brewery alone. the tours are nice and thorough but the tastings are very small at the end. my review is also based on a recent event in which we realized there are only 2 single bathrooms, and the lines became extremely long which is difficult at a place that is catered to drinking liquid. we also were disappointed that the food ran out really quickly. we did enjoy the shuffleboard table and it was nice to be able to sit outside in the large patio area. read more

One of the highlights of my trip to Boston! I had been on the tour once before but brought friends with me this time and they were not disappointed. Our tour guide was fun and energetic and I actually learned some things I didn't hear of the first tour The taproom is adorably decorated and has lots of games to keep people entertained while they sample all of the different Sam Adams beers. I especially liked one of the sours they had on tap the day we visited. read more

Don't count on getting drinks at this location... apparently the "manager" is late and has the equipment needed to pour a drink...

One of my favorite times in Boston. My husband and I did the The Bier Keller: Samuel Adams Barrel Aged Experience. With this tour we got to do a tasting with parings of cheeses in their beer cellar. Very cool atmosphere. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. You can tell he has a passion for what he does. We got to taste a few exclusive Sam's research and development. If you enjoy beer, you should minimally stop by for the tap room and order a flight. We had such a wonderful time. read more

According to my friend who works for Sam Adams, this is one of the top 5 highest volume locations for their beer. You can see why, since it is the only beer that they serve. Regardless, this sure beats some of the other airport bars that I have been stuck in before. The barlady was really nice, albeit her frustrations with the lack of ordering skills from out-of-towners. The next time you're delayed 4 hours like me, drop on by and enjoy a cold pint - or even better try one of the "big boys" 22 oz if I remember correctly. Be mindful of the time, however, they close wicked early! read more

Ah, my dear old friend, Terminal C. The security strip down sucks, but the people at Sam Adams are there to make it all better by providing beer to those who need a little courage before dropping their pants for security. That's right. Pass the Dunkin Donuts and the Burger King to the Sam Adams "pub." The hamburgers they serve are HUGE, and the fries are really tasty. I've enjoyed several pre-flight pints at this locale, and the flight is much more enjoyable. read more

This place is awesome! You have to go on a tour. The free tastings are fun and our tour guide Audrey was awesome and hilarious! GO HERE!

We had a really great tour here on a Friday afternoon. For a free tour, they give you some healthy pours of their different beers! You learn a lot about the history of the brewery and how they experiment with different brews. I highly recommend heading out this way to experience this brewery. It isn't a far Uber ride from the back bay where we were staying. Afterwards be sure to take the trolley to Doyle's and keep drinking! read more
