    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!

    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.

    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!

    Brunch hot dog and fries

    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!

    The K burger with fries

    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 :)

    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!)

    Great bar and TVs.

    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.

    The Kenmore hot dog, with grilled onions & peppers, on a grilled bun. Sooo good!

    Wicked good hot dogs...wicked good burgers...and awesome draft beers and ciders! What more could you ask for? Especially before a game. Fun vibe & super clean. Get here early to grab a seat and enjoy.

Weekday lunch visit: -- "Capital Burger" (their signature offering): A French onion style burger with speckled and well melted Gruyère cheese, soupy caramelized onions, and shallot aioli, on a sizable bun dotted with both black and white sesame seeds. Juicy medium rare center as ordered, but not much crusting on the exterior (the two are not mutually exclusive), and very light seasoning. Cheese flowed like lava. Onions were soft and noticeable. Very good burger even with the two shortcomings. -- Mixed Baby Greens: I traded fries for something more healthy. Well dressed with a tangy concoction and some carrot shreds and cherry tomatoes in the mix. A good complement to the burger. Service was VERY disappointing. The place was empty on a Friday lunch, with only one booth occupied, yet I got seated on the other side of the partition, literally inches from them. Then my server doesn't show up for roughly 15 minutes. Then I don't see the server ever again after receiving my order. Nobody came by to follow up. After finishing my meal I waited roughly 15 minutes again with no check, no server, no service, no pulse among the front of the house. No manager either as far as I could tell. I calculated the payment, left cash, and departed. I expect better from a place with "Capital" in its name. Capital Burger's Yelp bio promises "featuring a commitment to exceptional service and hospitality." This visit showed not only the lack of exceptional service, but the lack of commitment as well. (And yes, I did mention this to the business via their Instagram account.)

Tho I've never really liked full size burgers so always been a slider fan. Damn. Let me repeat, damn. Again, damn. Super simple but so so juicy and whatever sauce they are saucing on it? My mouth waters at the memory. They are decent sized and you get 4, plus a massive tower of also very good onion rings. The onion rings were good no complaints but after the sliders nothing was going to compare so I kind of forgot any opinions I had on them. Inside is cozy, staff are fun and great, reasonable prices and good vibes anytime I've gone in. And I'll be going in again soon bc damn. A few days later I was out with friends somewhere else and we got sliders and I was so disappointed now that I've known 21st's.

We finished by ordering the plate of sliders and by far, the best pub sliders I have ever had! Everything we ate was amazing. Izzy was energetic and never let our glasses go empty!
