Great spot to grab a quick bite and watch a game. The food was good, the service was great, and it's in a very walkable area.

We went there just to have a burger. And because it was slow, we were able to safely eat gluten free because they do offer gluten-free buns, but they toast regular buns on the grill. If it hadn't been so slow, I don't know if I would've felt comfortable, knowing the kitchen would still clean the grill well enough to make the burger safely. That said the burgers were OK. Also, they said the fries were gluten-free however they were made in a shared fryer so they are not in fact gluten-free because of cross contamination I think you should just come here for the bar. read more

I have EVERYTHING amazing to say about RANDALL. We were in town from out of state for 48 hours for a Rosalía concert, he made an effort to make us feel seen and appreciated, and left us with such a positive energy when I had an early 6:30am flight to catch. I cannot say enough about Randall. 10/10. THANK YOU RANDALL for serving us!!!! And making our night cap so sweet. read more

The food was fantastic and our waitress, Danielle, was even better. Whatever you're paying her, double it bc she deserves it!

Decent food for the price in the area. They are a little hidden but there's plenty of seating both in and outside. Food is relatively cheap but nothing that blows you away. The summer special was the lobster roll and it was $25 and filled with large chunks of lobster. The nachos were alright, but the plate was huge and enough to share. read more

I didn't know how else to get this feedback to the restaurant. Why does the hot dog say it comes with condiments on it, but then EVERY time I order it, it comes with nothing??? There aren't even options to add condiments to specify. please FIX YOUR ONLINE MENU. It sounds so simple but you're falsely advertising food with ingredients that you ARENT including - KETCHUP MUSTARD AND RELISH ON A BUN, but that has never been served to me! read more

My sister and I stopped here for a quick bite after seeing Jake Shane and the staff is soooo lovely! We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the bar tender was very accommodating given we were there about 45 minutes before the kitchen closed. They have really good prices for their food! I opted for their BBQ burger with cajun fries and it was delicious! My sister for their Brussel sprouts and a hot dog and I could tell it hit the spot for her! The food did take a bit long to come out but that was okay. Would definitely come back here! read more

The Kenmore - inside - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Awful service. The bartender was more concerned about getting some from the girls down the bar than taking care of customers. Come on guys.

I don't ordinarily write about business models, but that's what struck me here. The Kenmore has a straight-forward, honest menu, and service to boot. Hey, it has a section only for "Hot Dogs." At $5.95, it's fair and direct, as everything else in this pub. "Handhelds" are for burgers; "Sharables/Soups/Salads" are for...you can figure it out. That's the point, it's all there in front of you - no games, no hidden costs, no nonsense. Even the chalkboard drink menu has sections for Drafts, Ales, Ciders, Sours. And there is no high music level, yet there is music at just enough volume for background. It has a bar vibe, yet a gentler restaurant vibe. Some people are not coming in for a bar experience, so there's no intimidation factor. Our server, Nathan, was very friendly, yet efficient. The same goes for Dave. And there's the consistency too - American value and promised delivery...honestly It is part of a consortium with the same owner. Try also: in Allston, Hobson's (by North Beacon St. Bridge,) and Hopewell's (Comm. Ave.;) and in Brighton Center Harry's (by St. Elizabeth's,) and The Last Drop (Oak Square.) read more

We were greeted at the door and immediately felt welcome. Great martini and choice of beers . If you are ready for a relaxed place to grab a burger, the people here make you feel at home . If I lived here ... this is the old " cheers " vibe for sure. PS: Roland the bartender is who creates this vibe. read more

This is a solid spot for a cheap, quick bite to eat while watching the game. My girlfriend and I found ourselves amid the chaos of a Fenway baseball game, super hangry. We ventured to the Kenmore area to avoid the crowd and stumbled across this place. It's a small little sports bar with high top seating. We sat at the bar and the bartender took the time to explain the menu despite it being busy. The prices here are super cheap for pretty solid food. I ordered a brunch hot dog with Cajun fries for $8. My girlfriend got a double California turkey burger with a side salad. The bartender accidentally served my girlfriend somebody else's burger at first, and then took the plate out from under us and gave it to the guy sitting next to us, which was a bit odd but we didn't touch the burger so it was fine. Her real burger was tasty and cooked perfectly. I would definitely come here to watch sports and grab a cheap bite to eat. Our meal for two people was about $20. Amazing! read more

The Kenmore - Brunch hot dog and fries - Bars Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A small, intimate space with a nice ambiance. The staff were friendly and accomodating staff and the food we had was very good. I had a shroom burger and side salad and my partner had a chicken quesadilla. The side salad came with shredded cheese and crumbled bacon and a very nice balsamic dressing. That was a pleasant surprise! The quesadilla was very nicely done. The only negatives are... The menu is pretty limited if you're coming to eat and not drink as we were, but I guess it's really more of a bar than restaurant. And the clam chowder was just too expensive to take a shot on At $9.95 for a cup and $12.95 for a bowl it doesn't leave much room for an otherwise very affordable dinner. We'll be back when we're next in the area! read more

Kind of a small hole in the wall spot? I feel like I found a hidden gem. It's cozy, the food is SO cheap, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I got the kenmore dog, which honestly was a regular hot dog with average toppings, but it hit the spot! Would 100% come back to try the other varieties, they're all under $6. The K burger was perfectly medium rare, juicy, and the K sauce is to die for. Caesar salad is delicious. Portions are a bit smaller than your typical restaurant (but perfect for me honestly), salads and fries are an extra $2.50 but for the burger/hot dog price point, whatever. We happened to come in on a day where Kona beer was having an event and we got free hats- super cute and Kona beer's one of my favorites. Anyway, as much as I'd like to keep the Kenmore as my secret, I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quick cheap bite :) read more

As a non student neighborhood resident, this is the best locals bar in Fenway/Symphony/Kenmore. Great food, great beer. Tv has the game on with sound. A Beautiful place. read more

We ate here after a Red Sox game and it was the perfect place to hang out before heading home. No wait on a Tuesday night and our server was friendly, prompt, and extra patient with me when I couldn't make up my mind on what to order. Good variety of beers on tap, and they had a cider on tap as well. Deep fried hotdogs were delicious and the nachos were great too. It was our first time here, but we hope to come back after our next night at Fenway! read more

Food was excellent, service was delightful and helpful. We all loved our burgers and we were so glad to have found this place on Yelp. Great experience all around! (Also, get the seasoned tots...delicious!) read more

Was at The Kenmore today...8/11/2024. What a superlative place. Both of us had a hamburger for $6.75 and shared a hot dog, which was $4.50. The burger, on a brioche bun--cooked a perfect medium-rare--had bibb lettuce, tomato and pickles. It was one of the most flavorful burgers I've ever had. The hot dog was on a buttered hot dog roll. Again, one of the best hot dogs ever. Even better than the food was the service and staff. 5-star all the way. This place is a right on Commonwealth Avenue, and a 7 minute walk to Fenway Park. Nice and airy with sweet outdoor seating. read more

This place is awesome. They allow dogs on the patio next to the street. They have a small patio right by their front door as well, but can't bring dogs there. Food is solid. Service was excellent. Great location, walking distance to Red Sox. Highly recommend. read more

The place was awesome. My partner and I arrive and walk down these stairs to this almost very put out there but also tucked in bars. My bartender Nathan was perfect.

Danielle and her brother provided great service last night. Such a friendly bar and great beer selection.

Stopped by here for a quick drink/ bite with my brother when visiting town. Grabbed a pumpkin beer and the vegetarian dog , which both of which were great. I'll keep this short and sweet - great drink selection and really good food at a great price point. If you find yourself on Comm Ave, definitely pop in, have a quick convo with the Staff, and enjoy the food/ time. 5/5 read more

Limited menu. Great burgers. Didn't like the Brussels sprouts. Drinks were delicious. Friendly staff.

I ordered online for takeout, and picked it up a little while after the promise time. They had to go out back to check on it (no big deal, but I'm surprised because they immediately brought it out). I ordered the fries tray with a side of ranch and a pub burger with tomato. They didn't give me the ranch, and there was no Kenmore seasoning. I'm quite disappointed. There also was no bacon on my burger. I've never ordered takeout from here before, and I don't think I will do it again. read more

The hubs and I stopped in after a Yanks-Sox game over the weekend. This is the spot where Lower Depths used to be - which I LOVED. The service here is great. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. The food was just okay. We got a quesadilla, which was a little boring, and some Philly steak and cheese egg rolls, which were really lacking in substance and flavor. They do have a good beer menu, but I wish there were more options, especially porters and stouts. Overall, it was a pleasant way to sit down, relax, and grab a drink and a bite until the T died down after the game. Hoping next time, the experience is just a little tastier where the food is concerned. read more

Yummy delicious burgers, perfectly crispy fries, drinks and awesome tunes. Great attentive service. Cozy friendly atmosphere. Def recommend!

Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans. read more

Loved EVERYTHING about this place. The clientele were fun, our server was kind, responsive and friendly, and the food was very tasty. This is not a fancy place but I felt comfortable with my teen kiddos and we each enjoyed the whole experience. Oh -I had the vegetarian sausage... omg it was so good! If you're looking for a break from pretentious eateries but one that similarly delivers on food and drinks -I highly recommend The Kenmore! read more

Breakfast Burger and tots were amazing! Kyle our server was even better! Seriously one of my favorite burgers I've ever had.

I usually write dumb reviews and weird stuff on this website but honestly this place was amazing. The workers were always so nice, the service was quick, the food was cheap and honestly so delicious, and I'd come back in a heartbeat. Right by Kenmore station, and way closer than Tasty Burger (and a better deal and ambiance), honestly one of the best burgers for price and taste I've had in a long while. There are also late night deals which are amazing, but we didn't get because we came too early (it was Sun-Thurs at 10 pm-11:30pm and Fri-Sat from 10pm-12:30 am, K Burger for 2.50 and basic dog for 1.50), but honestly with it being open so late, I'll be back. This place is amazing. read more

We were a little concerned because the restaurant was empty. That always makes you a little nervous. We decided to stick it out and we were not disappointed. Chicken sandwich and cheeseburger with fries were very good. We didn't leave a crumb. Came out very hot. Service was very good and fast. Restaurant had a full bar. It is a quaint little basement restaurant with street parking. You imagine this place has some history to tell. We would stop in the next time we are in town. read more
