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

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

Service was not great. We kept asking our waitress for things and she would come back empty handed. They brought my friend the wrong drink. We had to ask for honey for our tea 3 times before it made it to our table. All modifications we asked for our food was ignored. I got the French toast and it was inedible and burned. The food was lowkey cold by the time it made it to our table. 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

I adored this little spot on the corner of Centre St & Pond st. Inside is cozy, rustic and the staff were attentive and welcoming. I ordered the shrimp scampi w/ salmon and it was decent. The salmon was fresh and lightly seasoned, it was missing the lemony-garlicky-buttery taste that you'd usually have with a classic shrimp scampi. So I'd classify this as a fresh seafood pasta. I will come back because it's a nice little spot read more

I've been there a few times for brunches. It was delicious. Great service. Quick and efficient. The ambience was perfect.

I went into The Joint for the first time when they first opened. I was put off by the unwelcoming employees who didn't greet us or offer to seat us or anything even though it was slow and didn't end up staying. I decided to give them another chance. Three of us walked in around 3PM on a Saturday. It was not particularly busy, but not slow. We were not greeted and went to the bar to ask if we could get a table. A rude employee waved me away and said 5-10 minutes. She eventually did seat us and rudely said if we are going to be ordering drinks she needs to see all of our IDs (which is obvious, and we understand, but she explained it to us like we are all dumb when we are all around 30, so we know how it works). We got drinks and food without incident. Meaning she took our order and the food came, but not once did anyone check in on us or even speak a single word to us while we were placing the order. It was like she hated interacting with people. The food: dry potato's, bland salad dressing, bland chicken, and basic fries. Eggs Benedict was over cooked. It was not disgusting, but extremely underwhelming. The only somewhat decent thing was the Bloody Mary. So in conclusion: service was horrendous, food was not worth eating, and the drinks were okay. Don't waste your time going to a place where the staff clearly doesn't like their jobs when there are so many other great places in JP. read more

So, I had my first burger here maybe not long after they opened awhile back. Was good - not amazing, but very good. Didn't have another burger until like just last week, and it was AMAZING. Like, a top 5 burger of my life. It was just lit up perfectly. It was juicy, and way bigger than I remember the first one. So, guys, keep up the great work! Keep putting love into the burgers! I highly recommend read more

Nice little brunch or burger joint! I'd recommend brunch the best, although their classic burger and fries is a good choice, too. See pics for deliciousness! read more

Took my sister her for a late lunch. She got the chicken wings (Buffalo sauce) which smelled really good. This place has limited gluten free options - they do have gluten free bread which is definitely a plus. I wouldn't eat the wings since they are cooked in the same fryer with gluten containing items. The Mac and cheese is truly amazing looking. My sister loved it! The consistency is definitely enough to save and keep you full. According to her there wasn't much salt but once we mixed everything it turned out better. I would add a little pepper flakes/pepper to the Mac. Overall looks family owned and definitely hole in the wall. read more

This place charged me $24 for a steak that I could honestly do better at home. It was tough, bland, and badly undercooked. The next time I went, I ordered a burger which was also undercooked and wasn't neatly as good as the burgers offered by place that this place is replacing. They should take a cue from the thriving restaurant (Gras Fed) that used to be here (that I was a regular at) and copy their menu...particularly the boozy smoothies. No sweet potato fries? Why not?!? I want this place to be amazing...but it just isn't. WAAAAAAAY too pricey for what they offer. Also, I detect a suspicious amount of 5 star generic reviews for this place. read more

I looked at the menu and I was not impressed but decided to not be that person and try it out because it was a suggestion. I had the mango margarita! - had 3 lol. Had clam chowder - hands down the best clam chowder I have ever tasted. Legals has nothing on them. 3 days later still thinking about it. I also had the sweet chili wings and all I can say is. I can't wait to go back!!!!!!! Glad I was not being picky! read more

I ordered from this place for the first time via DoorDash. I got the Belgian waffles with fruit and the breakfast pizza. The Belgian waffle came literally with three pieces of half strawberries, no syrup, and a pinch of powdered sugar. How are you charging more for waffles with Berries and you're not giving berries? Furthermore, how am I to eat this with no syrup. You call back to the restaurant and try to explain what the issue was and it's like nonchalant they don't give a f***. Glad I was able to get some of my money back from DoorDash will not be eating here again! read more

I ordered the joint burger, medium done. It is good but lacks some flavor. The store has a nice space behind and can host parties. The waiters were very considerate and asked about whether we would like some music or we just want to have a relatively quiet place to have conversations. read more

Fun times, cute ambiance, super awesome staff makes this place a solid 4-star experience! Came to the Joint on a whim after putting in a few hours of work at a local coffeeshop and they served up some yummy, hefty burgers pretty quickly despite the press of in-sort and takeout diners. Both burgers were delicious with really generous patties, a soft brioche bun, and just the right amount of cheese. I wish mine had a little more crunch factor from lettuce, although bacon served that function nicely. My partner's Forest Hills burgers (with grilled pineapple) was lovely -- the pineapple was smokey and thin, adding just a hint of sweet and tang. They had a very solid beer and cocktail list ($10) and their drinks were pretty interesting. The staff was the best part -- so friendly and helpful! When I thought I had lost my hat they really took time to help me try and locate it (although afterwards I realized I had put it in my pack for safekeeping...facepalm). A little north of $40 after tax and tip, for two burgers and a cocktail! read more

Pretty disappointing, but I suspect it's largely due to the delivery situation. Ordered for 5:45-6:00pm window and was not thrilled to get texts from different numbers telling me my order was ready and en route at 5pm! But then nothing showed up and at 5:30 I checked the tracking and saw the delivery guy from Doordash just left it on my porch 15 mins earlier and didn't ring the bell. WHAT. That is so uncool. Not even a text saying it was delivered. So, food was early, old and cold. I think pizza, fries and calamari would've been nice if it was fresh. Falafel wrap was really boring, but the chicken club got a thumbs up. I wish the online order site had a text window option with more than 50 characters to enter requests and allergies. I might try this place in person, but definitely don't recommend delivery. read more

My husband and I were nearby at Sam Adams doing a brewery tour and were searching for somewhere to eat afterwards and found The Joint. I love a good neighborhood spot and it was an easy walk from Sam Adams and back to the train station. We had good service and everything we ordered was amazing. We didn't get a picture of the cheeseburger egg rolls but those were our favorite! We also ordered the lemon pepper wings and truffle fries. The drinks were delicious as well! Pictured is the passion fruit margarita and a piña colada. read more

Just had the grilled chicken sandwich and the Mac and cheese. Both were very good! Perhaps just a little more chicken in the sandwich would make it excellent. Loved the Mac and Cheese!! Just add your own salt and pepper to taste and you will be happy! The shards of cheddar on top is a very nice touch. Mix it in with the rest of the dish and DAMN it is delicious! Kathy was my server. She did an excellent job of taking care of my order and food service. Great place. "I shall return"... read more

This is a place I'm afraid to give good reviews to because it's already too crowded for brunch and I want to be able to get in. The name is apt because I consider this my neighborhood joint. We go regularly and the people who work there couldn't be more welcoming. It's my home away from home. And the food is delicious. I love the crab cake Benny and my hubby loves the rancheros. You can't go wrong with pretty much anything. I have salmon there occasionally and it is so well prepared you think you're in a 4 star restaurant. So if you're in JP go the joint. You will be happy you did. Antonio 1 is a great chef and Antonio 2 is wonderful. read more

A very cute little spot in downtown JP! My boyfriend and I ordered a couple of the various burgers that are on the menu. They were both delicious!! The truffle fries were amazing too. My only qualm is that their ordering system is via QR code and phone, so the server doesn't come around quite as often and sometimes it's difficult to get their attention. Otherwise a really great experience! read more

Cute place, nice people, great burgers. Comfortable place to sit and have a chat and something to eat. You will not be disappointed.

Nice little spot in Boston. You order everything through your phone, the servers are only there to bring the food out to you, which I thought was a little odd. The food is delicious! Our table ordered an omelet, the pizza with truffle oil/eggs (so good), the chicken and waffles, and a wrap. read more

For a place that bills itself as a "burger joint", their $17 burger was decidedly underwhelming. Ordered a medium-rare burger and I received a well-done burger. Even if it had been prepared correctly, there was nothing that would make it special (low to mid-grade meat, bun and other ingredients, fries are what you'd expect from a diner). Think of this place as a Burger King where you have to wait 30 min for a table and need to order from your phone, but are still expected to tip 20%. read more

Fantastic place for a quick bite. The crew is super super nice, which makes up for the limited menu. Chicken and waffles are A1+! And the prices are affordable... I've been there about 5x and always more satisfying than the last read more

I live in the neighborhood and stopped by one afternoon. The bar was empty and the bartender was fine. I just wanted a snack and a beer. I ordered a pint and some fries. The beer was flat and not warm but not cold either. The fries had some sort of coating on them and way too salty. They're supposedly truffle parmesan fries. I didn't taste any truffle or parmesan. I'm a potato freak and rarely would I not finish off a plate of fries. I only ate about a quarter of them. The bartender had disappeared and there was a woman server there whom I asked for my check. Without looking at me or saying a word, she gave me my check. I paid her and she never looked at me or said a word. I told her, "the fries are way too salty". Her one word reply was, "yeah". I don't like perky servers so I really don't mind unenthusiastic ones as long as they do their job well, but this one, she was downright depressing. The Joint may have the best food in Boston (it wouldn't be difficult) but I'll never know. My first impression of the food and the sourpuss server left a bad taste in my mouth. BTW, if you plan on having a few beers, there's no bathroom here. Go figure? read more

WOW, that was sad. Today I went in and it was about 18 minutes before I even got a waitress over to my table to take my order . Not to mention that a table that got sat about 5 minutes after me had their order taken before I did. But anyways I put in my order, it was another 32 minutes before I got my food (by this point I was timing it). When I finally did get my food, my waitress FINALLY asked me if I wanted water (having been there for 50 minutes without a drink or tableware or anything else really), which I declined given how slow things were moving. I ordered the Boston cream burger, medium, and it was bland honestly. The food was by no means worth the wait but by that time I was hungry enough to want to eat it anyways. Honestly I will never come back. And before anyone talks about how they were busy, I've been to busier restaurants that were more understaffed and still got better service then I did today. Hell, I would've even preferred my waitress was a dick because then, at the very least, I would've had some decent service. Wow I didn't even realize it at the time but I didn't even get the right burger. SMH read more
