I'm only a take out guy from here, so take that into account; the decor seems nice, but I've never been exposed to it during an actual meal. timely food, but only okay taste. My wife has said she's been queezy after some of it. I havent been, but I haven't been impressed for the price. There's other place in the neighborhood that are better, at least for take away. Maybe the Decor is worth it. read more

Actually 4.5 stars. I finally found a place with great pancakes! I don't eat them often but when I do I usually am disappointed. I had walked by the other day and saw them on someone's table and they had the perfect look to them. We split a stack today along with a delish breakfast sandwich on a brioche roll w turkey sausage ($13 and $10). Both were excellent and well priced. Nice service. I see I hadn't updated reviews since 6 years ago and def think it's a solid 4 stars here most of the time. Sorry no pics. read more

The Joint - Forest Hills burger and salad. - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Huge menu of breakfast lunch and dinner options. All is homemade. I had a grass fed cheeseburger that was delicious. We were there for lunch and everything came out super fast. Interior is basic yet well worth returning to sample other items on the menu. read more

How did I miss this place? Stopped in for brunch and we were all very happy with our orders, French toast tasted like a delicious Cinnabon, eggs full of flavor and thick pieces of bacon. I also had a fruity mimosa, in a nice lively atmosphere. Our server and everyone working there was awesome! read more

Very good food. I appreciate their special menu that includes a select item per day of the week - that's how my partner was able to try the steak quesadilla on Sunday. I highly recommend the joint burger. The music is great here, a lot of Latino-inspired music. Although small location, the ambiance is cozy and the decor is interesting / colorful. read more

My family and I walked into this establishment on Sunday November 30, 2025 for brunch. We were greeted by a male individual who asked if we had reservations, in which my cousin replied that we have one for 20 people but there is a possibility that we have more than 20. The male individual replied that that was fine, he was going to seat those of us that was there and worry about the others as they were coming in. As more family members started to arrive we notified the male individual that we were going to need another table. And there was one available behind us that was vacant. He refused and continued to place more people at the table that was set up for 20. Once we realized that he wasn't going to accomodate us we got up and left. What made this situation even tasteless is that we had just came from my aunt's mass who passed a month ago and wanted to have some family time. read more

The lemon pepper wings extremely good. However, the ribeye was disappointment. The mashed potatoes was cold and not very flavorful. They were out of asparagus so I opted for spinach. This is my first time at the joint for lunch. I'm usually there for brunch. They have excellent customer service. The ambience is inviting. bartender Belquis makes the best capriniha read more

My friends and I went here Sunday. It was suggested by a friend. The service was good and the staff was very polite and attentive. I ordered their falafel wrap with salad. It had no flavorful, dry and not something I would order again. One of my friends enjoyed her chicken and waffles and her husband changed his to chicken and pancakes. His chicken seemed a bit overcooked but ok. We weren't excited about the meals but hopefully they have better vegetarian or more healthy options. read more

Service was very slow but it was a busy day. I ordered The Joint Burger and it was very over cooked and had no flavor. They also serve spiced fries which just aren't my preference. read more

Randomly picked this restaurant for location purposes and it did not disappoint! Fun decor, friendly staff, super-efficient online online ordering that sends your order directly to the kitchen. Food was prepared quickly, arrived piping hot, and was delicious! All five in our party were very pleased. Highly recommend! read more

Came here with a few friends this past weekend and had a great experience. We entered when it was pretty full but the four of us were able to be seated right away. Coming from brunch I had to try the chicken and waffles and was very impressed. The chicken was fried perfectly and tender and the waffles were just as amazing! A few of us also enjoyed the mimosas the only thing is we wish we split a bottle instead of ordering individuals! If you are in the area I highly suggest stopping at the joint for a bite to eat and maybe even a drink from their full bar! The ambiance was great, we sat in the "bar area" at a table and were able to watch some drinks being made, sports in the tv, and people watch the passerby's! read more

The Joint - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This is one for the record books. Omitting included items because "people already have it in their house and don't need it." I tried to give this place another shot from delivery. I ordered two breakfast items that require syrup: pancakes and waffles. They were delivered without any syrup even though they are is LISTED AS COMING WITH SYRUP IN THE ITEM DESCRIPTION . So I called up the restaurant, where I was put on hold immediately twice without being asked. I spoke to Antonio. I asked him why there was no syrup included. He said "People don't like plastic products so we don't send it. You have to order it specifically." I told him it's listed in the description, why would they omit it? He repeated what he said. I said, "Who eats pancakes and waffles dry?" He told me that "People already have syrup in their house so we don't send it". I reminded him that it's listed in the description, and if it were a turkey sandwich, would they omit turkey because "people already have turkey in their house"? He had no answer. I told him that if they made a mistake and omitted it, that he should just apologize and own up to the error. He continued to INSIST that no mistake was made. I asked him if that is the kind of service that the owner would want to provide, when he told me "It's the way the owner wants it. The owner does not want us to send syrup unless it is specifically ordered. I'm sorry but that's their policy." Instead of saying "Oops sorry we goofed," it is the policy of The Joint to OMIT INCLUDED ITEMS unless you expressly order it (even though it's listed as being included) because you probably "have that item at home" and "people don't like plastic". What a joke. Shameful, and laughable too! Reminds of me that song "It wasn't me." Just say ANYTHING expect admitting you goofed, even if it comes out as verbal diarrhea. GrubHub agreed with me, and refunded all my money. read more

Good food, but no or slow service. The burgers were good, and the initial service was friendly, but after bringing us our food and drink, they disappeared. We wanted to order another round but the waiter never stopped by again. A couple in the back room walked up to the bar and asked for another round. Is this how it works? You get waited on for the initial order but have to then go to the bar? It's just weird. Then when I asked for the check, they said to just pay at the register. Apparently you can order by QR code at your table? So maybe having someone taking our order was a fluke and this is more of a fast casual place and not a place to hang out? It's a nice spot, but not very lively. I feel like it looks like a place you could hang out but the whole ordering, paying, situation feels otherwise. read more

Very Friendly service, delicious food with creative tasty menu options! Went for brunch, and next time I'll order a cocktail!

The joint is amazinggggg I stumbled across this online while looking for a quick brunch bite to eat. They take walk ins no reservations. We had to sit at the bar but we didn't mind, the service was great, the drinks were 10000000/10 the food was delicious and then portions were large. The ambiance is modern but industrial chic at the same time. We will definitely be coming back to this hidden gem. read more

I guess I hadn't realized that The Joint changed hands. I thought it was still just a burger joint. The meal we had was excellent. OK, it was burgers, but we noticed how many other kinds of dishes were available. I plan to return to try the chicken piccata. And really friendly service! read more

I quite like the place. It's one that I sort of always forget it's there but have always enjoyed it. Minus a star for taking over the space where the comic book store was read more

Had a delightful midweek brunch with friends at The Joint. I always live visiting this area because there are a few gems to eat at. This is one of them with a full bar, a neuvo American fare menu with a few ethic dishes that add pizazz. Service was friendly and attentive until we just wanted to be left alone. Though our water was topped off and when our drinks we low they ask if we wanted a refill. The feel is modern bistro with a neighborhood flare. Everything was clean and well kempt. A few local folks were in for lunch, more than other places. I would like to come again and try a few more tasty cocktails and dishes. Solid place and the neighborhood definitely likes it. read more

We were near The Joint Saturday so ate lunch around 230. Seated immediately in this small, cute place. My husband had a v good burger & I had the best chicken avocado club that had crispy bacon on thick sourdough. Both of us had side salads of mixed greens. Everything was so FRESH and delicious. Our server, Antonio, was so friendly. He told me they have been in business a few years and managed to get thru during the Covid outbreak. If we lived closer to JP The Joint would be our go-to eatery. Their menu is not huge and that's since good since they focus on making a few v v tasty dishes with good variety. In short, we'd return in a heartbeat. They are open 7 days a week! read more

Delicious classics with a twist at a clean, family friendly restaurant. Service was quick. I got the shrimp BLT (ate too fast, didn't get a picture), but it was delicious and a big hearty portion. My mom had their classic burger and also thought it was delicious. We will be coming back! read more

This place is a paradox -- all food and drinks is ordered through the Toast app. Its cumbersome to say the least. But we got through it. The service and food to table was slow. There is next to zero interaction with the one wait staff person. Other than to seat us and ask if we had questions. The food was good. She had a burger and I had a falafel wrap. The sandwiches were very good, the fries very good too -- nice crisp. The other part is this place is expensive --- entrees are almost $20, beers, $8. And thats a lot for a burger and a wrap. Would I go back, likely not. Do I think the food was delicious, yup hence the 4 vs 3 stars. Better options in JP for less money. read more

Great Tasty Food Clean quiet environment Service good Parking problematic (but normal for the area) read more

Place is always clean . Food is on point . Service is fast . Kid friendly and very accommodating.

While walking around with a friend, we decided to get a bite to eat and try the Joint. I'd heard decent things and seen a lot of people walk in and out so I was down. The ordering is all done through ToastTab which is pretty cool but I was immediately taken aback by the pricing, which is all roughly $17 for a burger. The food needs to be pretty stellar to match such pricing, so I ordered a falafel wrap hesitantly (one of the cheaper sandwich/wrap options, and I also was craving some veggies). My friend ordered a truffle portobello pizza - see picture. I was disappointed by the falafel wrap so I didn't grab a picture of that. The falafel inside was dry but the wrap itself got soggy quickly - at least there were plenty of veggies inside. The fries it came with were decent and well seasoned but I can get good fries at a much cheaper place. The ambiance was nice and the staff very helpful, but the food was not anywhere near worth it enough for me to come back. read more

Walked in on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, it was the first time I've been in here since the remodel. The inside was gorgeously decorated for a cozy modern feel. I ordered the Stony Brook burger and my friend ordered the shrimp BLT. My burger looked delicious- but I couldn't pick it up :( the bread underneath was so soggy from the sauce so I had to eat with a fork. The burger itself was very tasty but I wouldn't want to order again for the messiness. My friend liked her sandwich but it was nothing special. The fries were yummy though! Very average overall for dinner, though my friend says breakfast here is where this place shines, so I might come back and update my review :) read more

Yesterday was my first time eating here and I was impressed! To start the waitress was so nice! I ordered the The French Toast Combination which came with eggs styled your choice, brioche french toast, breakfast potatoes & a choice of bacon, ham, sausage or turkey sausage. I choose to have my eggs scrambled and turkey sausage. Everything tasted delicious! Also the French Toast was topped with powdered sugar and mixed berries! Aside from their breakfast menu which is all day they have other food options including burgers, pizzas and salads. I plan on coming back to try more! read more

I got the grass fed "joint burger" with joint sauce. It was not good. Burger was under seasoned , the cheese was not tasty and the sauce tasted like nothing. I can't even tell what it was supposed to taste like. The brioche bun was somewhat stale. The fries were cheap frozen breaded nonsense. It's a shame for $17. read more

Visited the Joint last night having heard wonderful things about the food. Well we never got to taste the food because of the lack of service. You are expected to place your own order using a QRC code on your phone. No ability to ask questions about menu items or even ask for recommendations. If we wanted to go on line and just place an order for food we would have just ordered takeout. Part of the dining out experience is interacting with the server. Not to mention this practice of having customers place their own order is taking away jobs from people who need them. Very disappointed, we left and when to a restaurant down the street that understands the dining out experience. read more

Super chill music was very throwback. Food was amazing. No pressure with the serving, service was really good, really kind. We broke a glass and he excuse us very well. Chicken was kind of weird though. read more

Me and a friend of mine went here yesterday thinking it would be great, considering i have had breakfast a couple times and really enjoyed it. Now, yesterday, may 5.....we decide to pop in.....shots are flowing and the bartender is trying to get me to speak spanish despite the fact the i am on my idk what number drink...so i go to say the word "dos" and it sounds like dosh...... Why one of the employees who is less than 5 footsteps anyway begins to mock me! In shock that he would do this right in front my face, i say "don't judge me" And the guy sitting next to me immediately starts laughing, which reassured me i wasnt crazy instead of apologizing he just shrugs me off and says "whatever" as if i am over reacting....and then an entire conversation ensues around me Unprofessional.....Rude......Condescending Next time you want to mock the customers for learning a new language, while spending money at your establishment.....you might want to go where said customer doesnt hear or see you When you understand energy you dont have to speak multiple languages read more

This does not close at 10. Sometimes it closes at 9:30, kinda roll the dice. Food is often good. read more

The food and the service has been outstanding. Since they opened I've been going there. Both Antonios have been great and made us feel like we are part of The Joint family. Went again today and Rosi was also great. Love their breakfast pizza, cheese burger egg rolls and their decaf coffee. Definitely this is now my new spot to go for food. Love the fact that they serve breakfast until 2pm since I am a big breatfast person. Highly recommend The Joint!! read more

I came across this place, as it was close to the Sam Adam's Brewery. Having around an hour to kill before we were doing a brewery tour, we stopped by here for some lunch. Upon entering, no one came up to us, and we just randomly sat down at an open table. Not gonna lie, but the service wasn't that good. And this place was not that crowded. After a long wait, someone finally came up to us to take our order. Since we were kind of on a time limit, we ordered our drinks and meals, all at the same time. We never received any water either, after asking for it. For our meals, we went with what looked like 2 of their most popular menu items. An order of chicken and waffles and a stony brook burger. The chicken and waffles was my favorite of these two items. It was very good and I would recommend everyone order this. The burger was okay. It was cooked nicely and had some good toppings on it. I would of ranked this place higher if we had better service. But food wise, it was pretty good. read more
