So the service is great. It's a small little kind of seems like a dive bar. They have a jukebox. They have great music playing we went in the middle of the day. There was like three or four customers just a bartender working so you have to cover the whole place. The menu is basically everything is à la carte but everything is very affordable. Total bar food but we got a veggie quesadilla that was actually delicious and I got the cowboy burger, which was great and my friend Tammy got a steak and a chicken taco, she liked them both very much. The server was very attentive. He made sure everything went well. The only reason they don't get five stars is we ordered a quesadilla as an appetizer and when we got our main courses he had and brought it because he forgot to order it. It was apologetic. He was super nice, but you know, obviously it's hard for a bartender to do everything but I would recommend anyone go through in the neighborhood and just want a cheap eat or a place to get a quick drink. read more

Visiting Boston after going to a concert. The Avenue was a yelp recommended late night spot near my hotel. Stopped in and wasn't really impressed. The music was way too loud for it to be just a radio speaker. I ordered a chicken quesadilla and it was more beans than anything else. The male runners aren't very courteous, the just drop your food at the table and dip before you can ask for anything. Maybe I'll try another visit when I'm back to see if maybe it was a one off but overall, wasn't really impressed. read more

I love the laid back atmosphere here and that this place has been here for years. My first time here was back in 1997! The food is still really good but I came back to check it out because of my great memories here. Love the chill atmosphere... Prices are reasonable. The service here was friendly and prompt. I'm looking forward to writing another review about this Alston institution in another 10 years or so... May the Avenue live forever!! So many great memories.... This is the type of place that puts the motion in the ocean.... read more

The Ave is such a vibe. We came for dinner on a Wednesday night and it was packed. Poppin. In the best way possible (it's important to note that it wasn't slow service because it was packed but more so it was very cool to see a place so busy on a Wednesday full of people of all ages). They also have an outdoor seating option right on comm ave which was also full because it was a beautiful night out! Go figure. :) We got the buffalo wings, waffle fries (a must order) and the nachos. The Buffalo wings were oh so good. Not overboard spicy but also definitely still had a Buffalo wing kick to them. The waffle fries are so good here -- one of my favorite menu items. You can even order them with a cheese and bacon topping too. The nachos were HUGE and sooo filling and loaded with toppings which is a major plus. They also have promo nights on Wednesday's and Thursday's and their kitchen it's open until 1am!! That's hard to come by in Boston. Fabulous spot, friendly stuff, good vibes, good music, this list goes on. read more

Have had many great nights at this local establishment. The staff are all amazing. The dartboards in the basement are often available and the basement is a great space to hang with a large group. The spicy margaritas are the move, the food is simple, delicious, and reasonably priced. The tacos, burger, and waffle fries are go-tos. read more

Everything always went well there they always had great pastry and great rolls I always liked the round fried dough with the raisins in it. They had different names for some people called them elephant i ears people call them different things. I just called them delicious. I don't know if you still make them, but I could. I haven't been there in a while, but those were yummy. I always got them read more

I've come here a couple times with local friends. It's a nice vibe to just chill and eat. I had a beautiful moment with the avenue's burgers. It started out with one to share with my partner....i ate 2/3 of it. Then I ordered another to share with him but ended up eating the whole thing. Still hungry. Got a 3rd one, I was full and satisfied, and he got another 1/4! Food came out fast and I will be coming back for another tasty burger. 4 stars just because the bouncers and bartenders are hit or miss sometimes. Some are nice and some are very rude. read more

Very relaxing and chill neighborhood restaurant. Loved the sweet potato tots! Good beers.

The server is really nice and helpful. However, the food is so bland, not good at all. I order an avenue burger and dozen chicken wings. Both are ashes. The drink is not good too. I order two cocktails, and both of them are not good too. The vibes are okay, nothing special. read more

Quick. Great vibe. Amazing prices. I got the burger with tater tots and it definitely did the trick. read more

This is such a great neighborhood bar. Very low key with a great draft selection and relatively cheap food. There is one server there that has been there for at least the past 3 years that I have been living in the area and she is so great and makes the experience even better. They always have seasonal beers on tap and had a good selection of pumpkin beers. For food I had the chicken tenders and fries (can't go wrong with this one) and my boyfriend and I split the pretzels. We had never had them before, but they were so good. They used to have late night specials which they have not had since they reopened from Covid. I hope they bring them back at some point. read more

pretty nice bar around the corner from Brighton Music Hall! worth checking out before a show, decently priced, and staff was friendly, cocktails and food were great. Only thing of note is that despite the cheaper food prices, fries aren't included free if you order a burger so was a bit surprised by getting an extra $10 on the bill I didn't expect so just keep that in mind that some sides are charged extra. read more

The Avenue was a delightful place to stop after my long flight. It felt like a favorite neighborhood pub good for a pint, some superb grub, and great company. The servers were prompt and friendly. 10/10 do recommend. I had the bird's nest burger. It reminds me of a smash burger, perfectly cooked. The over easy egg was creamy and delicious. The onion straws added that crunch and extra savory something that has me craving it again. read more

The proof is in the pudding....about the extra-charge bacon BARELY being in the burger. I'd be legitimately ashamed and embarrassed to serve this. Ridiculous. ONE SLICE! Even McDonald's puts more bacon in their burgers. read more

Service was great for a Friday night. It was definitely busy but the two bartenders were attentive and recommended a beer which is now a new fav! Thanks eddy and Harrison for a great experience The $2 burger was a W as well read more

Good food, service, and homey atmosphere. Solid pricing as well. I love it here! Burger is awesome.

I was really disappointed with this experience because I heard such great things about this place. When we got there, it smelled like throw up. Not sure if that's the usual vibe or if someone threw up. Our waiter disappeared after taking our order. The runner was nice and got us our food quickly. We split the pretzels, which I believe were just those frozen Super Pretzels and the cheese that came with it was that movie theater nacho cheese I'm pretty sure. The honey mustard was yummy, though. I got the shrimp tacos, and they had one shrimp in each taco and the aioli was just squirted on top and fell off right when I picked it up. Even though we got the food quickly, it was kind of cold and seemed like it had been sitting out for awhile. My boyfriend got the burger, which was pretty decent, especially for the price, but small. Our drinks were never refilled (just water and coke), and no one asked if we needed anything else. Our waiter was sitting at the bar on his phone with a drink the whole time. I'm not sure if he was on his break or was done with his shift, but if that was the case nobody picked up our table and we had to wait a half hour after we were done to find someone to get the check. The waiter for the table next to us who finally brought us our check was very nice and helped us when we asked immediately, though. It also wasn't busy, there were about 5 tables sat, so we were confused with the slow service. I would maybe come here again just for drinks if they're good, but I do not recommend in the slightest for dinner. Very cool look to it but I've never had worse service. read more

So much great food! Best burger, wings, and great specials. Friendly staff and patrons.

I entered at around 4.45pm and to my surprise the place was almost already packed! We were here for a couple of beers. Ordered nachos and fries. Nachos were huge portion and tasted amazing, but they were badly stuck to the parchment paper. I have never seen so much guac and sour cream on a nachos platter ever in my life! Fries were great, right out of the oven, warm and crispy. Service was good. Great place to hang out and have a good time. read more

Cool place with a lot of good beer. When I came on a Thursday night there was a ton of seating and they had some games playing on TV. Seemed to be good vibes only. Late night burgers are $2. However, in the past my friend was able to get one of their specialty burgers for half off as well. Now, they will still charge you full price. So instead make sure you get a basic burger and just pay for the extra add-ons. However, everything here is so cheap already that it's worth it. Sides range from $2 - $5. The tacos were also very good. Overall a great late night place to hit up. Besides the difficulty with the price in the burger a good place to stop in for. read more

Depending on what you are looking for, this spot can be just right. I went here to catch up with a friend over a burger. We got the classic avenue burgers which we both liked, they just needed a little extra kick of something. I asked for pickles, which helped. The fries that accompanied the burger really hit the spot. This place is very reasonably priced and has reduced money deals sometimes later in the night. The portion was just right for me, but could leave some still hungry. The service could have been better, we were trying to pay for a long while and couldn't get the attention of the waiter. Good burgers and fries, and cheap prices. Sports games are also always broadcasted on the widescreen TV's, so could be a good game day spot. read more

Had their avenue burger. Solid. Cooked right. Good flavor. Right size and fresh tasting. Our server greeted us promptly and made us feel very well taken care of despite how busy it was during the Celtics playoff game. Ambiance was fun and the place was really clean. Will make a point to go again when I'm around Alston again. read more

If I ever feels for wings I always come here every chance I get when I'm visiting Allston. The Garlic Parm, Buffalo and Sweet Thai Chili are always a must to get and it's really good wings for a good price. Getting 20 wings for $16 is a no brainer. This is the cheapest deal on chicken wings I've seen in Boston so far. I've been coming here for 3 years now to get my dose of wings. My husband and I carried some friends of ours here for wings and I think we got them on board. Also I'm typing this here so that everyone knows and it's also a note to self because I always forget: - $2 The Avenue burger on Mondays - 50cent wings on Tuesdays read more

Thankful to have been able to catch the superbowl here since all the neighboring bars were packed so early. Despite a not so friendly welcome (which I can forgive since the employees were super busy), my friend and I ended up having a satisfactory time here! Our waitress checked up on us and refilled our waters quite regularly throughout the night. And we really accomplished what we set out to do, which was to watch the game( even if the TV screen was a bit small) In terms of food and drinks, it is what you would expect from your typical bar. They have a huge selection of beers and drinks and a small menu of small plates to accompany your drinks. We ended up ordering tacos and pretzel bites to share and were surprisingly very satisfied with our food. I thought the cod taco was pretty tasty with a good balance of seasoning and freshness. I also really liked the baked pretzels which were perfectly salted and super soft in the inside. I would say for bar food, it was actually pretty good! I'm really glad I discovered this place and that it is so close to my apartment. I can foresee myself coming back here to catch some drinks or watch sporting events! read more

We both enjoyed our first visit to the Avenue. We ate outside under the umbrellas in the hot sun and felt cool enough. They had a good draft beer selection. We both had burgers mine was black bean hers was a real one both excellent french fries are much better than average they were crispy and I had a vegan taco that was yummy. The beer was good too we would like to go back. read more

Such a great neighborhood bar. I come here quite often just for some cheap food and a good draft selection. I love their burgers and nachos. Food also always comes out wicked quick. Also, the vibes inside are great, with TVs everywhere and good lighting for a late night. Also.. $2 Jello shots! Highly recommend if need a good night out that won't kill the budget. read more

My cheeseburger was simple, and they cook it to at least medium, but it was well executed. Fries were definitely above average. Hubby liked his veggie burger and tofu taco. The patio seating is pleasant. Our waiter was friendly. The menu is pretty basic, but we'll try to eat there again. read more

I have been here MANY times and every time the food and service are 5/5. They always have affordable drinks and good food.

They have a large patio with heaters, which work great. I will definitely be back! read more

The Avenue - A man grabbing for his yellow shot with waffle fries and sweet potato tots on table - Burgers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Hot local tip: $2 Avenue Burgers on Mondays after 10pm. 50 cent chicken wings on Tuesdays. Their burgers aren't large, but they're juicy and sandwiched between a light, toasted sesame bun. And they're only $2!! The employees are really nice and aren't a stickler on time, so they even gave us a break around 9:30PM and let us have the burgers for 2 bucks. Also their servings of waffle fries are large enough to feed two people, and they're delightfully crispy. Come check this place out on Monday or Tuesday, you won't be disappointed! read more

Ordered the Avenue burger and sweet potato tots for take out. The food was prompt, and when I went in to place the order, the bartender was super helpful. The burger wasn't the most amazing burger I've had in my life, but it tasted exactly how I would've wanted a burger to taste and the sweet potato tots were excellent-- they were not over salted so you could still taste the slight sweetness, and since they were fresh they were nice and crunchy. I was also definitely not upset about the amount they gave me! Overall, I would recommend. read more

This time we went to get iced coffee ($1) and donuts ($3). Both were a lot better than we were expecting. The iced coffee was stronger than anticipated and it was good value for what it was.

This place is trash. Heard the male bartender with the pony tail talking about how their customers piss him off. Kept yelling about how stupid customers are for calling asking about reservations. The dude passionate as hell about yelling at me for not wearing a mask after being walked to my table( he saw me walking down the street in my mask, and in the "lobby", but took it off as we walked to table) seems to be completely uneducated about the fact that a lot of bars, restaurants and even retail spots are doing reservation seating only. Tip: if you don't like Nickelback video vibes & corny people, avoid this place. read more

The Avenue is a great little place. Cheap burgers, good cocktails, reasonably priced beers, and yummy appetizers. Service leaves something to be desired ...but I think a lot of times the servers may be assigned to too many tables, so it's definitely not their fault. I LOVE their soft pretzels... like I crave them at very random times and every time I have a hankering for carbs the soft pretzels are exactly what I want. I usually am a total fanatic for cheese sauce, but the mustard dipping sauce is so good I wish I could bottle it. Everything else is good too, but the soft pretzels and cheeseburgers are what keep me coming back. read more
