Reviews of Boston Burger Company (Restaurant)

Monica Porter

Seriously fantastic burger joint. We visited the location in harvard Square on a bustling Friday evening. No wait and an awesome seat near their open-air window facing the street. Our server was extremely sweet. I’m pregnant and was on mission for some sweet potato fries and a hearty burger. Boy were my expectations exceeded. Probably the best sweet potato fries we’ve ever had. And I couldn’t believe how good the house-made potato chips were that accompanied my burger! I ended up using the side of baked beans for dipping my chips and it was all so delicious. The gluten free bun was also super good and the staff was careful to communicate about cross-contamination with the fried items, though fortunately this isn’t an issue for me since I’m merely sensitive. They were so accommodating and we’re already planning to door dash them for dinner tonight!! Highly recommend

I love this place!!! I'm waiting for my frappe and they look so good.

Tyler Souza

Simply the best burgers and shakes

David, Max & Joey Jayne

I was impressed. Incredibly good food. Drinks were less expensive that I had expected.

Dayna Maguregui

I got so many recommendations to this place on my trip to Boston. And I was not impressed. It was good. But not great. I got the mac attack burger because I heard it was amazing. Maybe once upon a time it was but for the price noooo it is not amazing. 3 star rating because in the end it was good and we ate every last bite. Just wish it tasted better. Service was great!

David Decoteau

Good food people real nice

Mike G

One of the best places to eat in the Boston area. The King milkshake, 420 Burger, and bacon cheese fries were amazing. The owner/manager was very friendly aswell.

Marcelo Machado

Endless choices of the best combination 12" tall burgers and shakes ever! They also keep up with the latest of the local brews

Pratik Mehta

Great food, great service

Dillon Harvey

The 420 burger special is a delicious deal! You can't beat that price for such a hefty burger, and the taste meets the hype. The bar is also a good spot for the solo foodie to eat in a friendly environment. Definitely glad to check this off the bucket list.

Excellent Food and excellent customer service

kunal shah

Best burger place in town. Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing fraps. Also, this is the best place for vegetarian burger, they have a great veggie patty, so any burger can be made vegetarian. It has one of the best fries. Chips are made in house and chips with cold slaw is amazing too.

Christopher Roche

Fantastic service food was incredible and the shakes were fantastic

Jonatan Ramirez

Great atmosphere cool food but staff needs to pay attention to details when costumer request a change on the food... Boooo

Steve Mathieu

Ordered medium, cooked well-done.

Valerie Prunty

Excellent food try the fried pickles

Dominique Lucio

"The King" is an amazing burger

David Soule

The food is outstanding, the wait staff is awesome, the decor is cool. The Frappes are the best and very creative. You get your money's worth.

Chris Hammer

Great burgers and great shakes! Awesome selection of predesigned burgers with interesting toppings and combinations. Their fries are bad but other than that I enjoyed everything I get here every time I come. You can turn any burger into a salad if you're looking to cut out that unnecessary bread.

Natasha Klimenko

Nice atmosphere and very delicious food. Highly recommend

George Konstas

Amazing burgers and great beer list!

Jana

Nice place with very friendly staff. The burger was good, but not outstanding, same with the coleslaw and the chips. Definitely overpriced for what it is

Yuval Yellin

Everything was really great Amazing food, great meat, drinks and shakes all with style well make and worth going to

Tien Li Shen

Great burgers. Delicious

Jarconna Mathis Sr.

Never tried the food or experienced the place before. So myself and a friend order food to go because we wasn't sure what we doing for the night. Once I arrived I noticed that they had a bar and informed my friend of it, so we decided to stay because of it. While waiting for the drink I started to eat my food while doing so the bar manager asked me to stop because they want to keep it separate. So I won't be making that mistake again or cing back.

Brian Kostantin

Decent food, not better than c overall experience. A/C wasn't put on, making the place feel like an oven. Employees didnt seem happy and appeared not to have any direction or desire to resolve the discomfort.

Andrew

I typically have excellent experiences with the food, but quality changes depending on the time of day/week. Weekends are best.

James Brumaghim

The burger was great! Just the way I wanted.

Tomi Kalmi

The Adam Jones burger was probably the best burger I've ever had in my life. Thank you for this experience and I'll be back for sure the next time in town!

Josh Murphy-Katz

Waited very long for to-go burger. Got order wrong. Really expensive for basic burger. Fries extra.

Ryan Spyres

Pretty good food.

Mathew Franco-Diaz

Went on a busy night so we waited a while to be seated, only to be next to a loud 10+ person party that was so loud that we could barely hear ourselves. The food was amazing and the menu had so many delicious looking options that it was hard to pick. several options were noted as being on some foodie lists. I'd come back, but on night they're not slammed. I got the bruschetta burger.

Daniele Giuffrida

Huge American burgers in a relaxed environment. Some say that they make the best burgers in Boston. A few steps from Harvard square.

David Kehoe

Way overpriced for the food. Burgers are good but not worth what the total bill was. Hard to fit large groups in the tiny restaurant as well. Variety and options were very good. Have great beer options. The staff is very friendly and quick.

Chris Bailey

Delicious innovative burgers, cooked as you like. I have been several times and had many of the burgers on offer, I have never had a problem with the quality of the food. I have also never been able to indulge in the shakes and desserts, but watching them being made I am sure they are delicious.

Preetam Bakshi

A lot of choices for delicious burgers. Do try the drinks on the menu. Mindblowing choices for the cost

Patricia Allen

Loved the local Boston eats! That Hot Mess burger was delicious!!! You WILL leave with your belly full!!!

John Johanson

A wide array of custom burgers, some of which have been featured on TV food shows. The King (peanut butter, bacon, fried bananas dusted in cinnamon & sugar) works, with the sweet and savory. The peanut butter on a burger is well worth trying! The service was lackluster, including difficulty getting a refill on drinks. Overall, not worth going out of your way.

Calvin Do

If you're looking for a place to fill you up, this is the place to go! The burgers are creative and will definitely be worth trying. The wait might be a little long, but you can enjoy the atmosphere and a drink while they prep your food. Their chips are homemade as well as their fries. The prices can be on the heftier side, but it's definitely worth a try, not every burger may be to your liking, but they for sure have one that you'll enjoy. The frappes they have are large and very funky making for a unique experience you can't find elsewhere. The service was a bit backlogged, but they were overall very nice and accommodating!

jacob quinn

Best in Town!

Brian O'Connor

Amazing food and amazing milkshakes. I'm not from Boston, and I think I need to return just for this!

Gordon Gardner

Great taste great price.

Grace Young

I ordered a Hawaiian bowl from here on Ritual and it was really bad. It was like a deconstructed burger without the bun - iceberg lettuce, tasteless tomato slices, and some pineapple. I wouldn't order it again.

William Thompson

My wife and I went here for dinner during a weekend getaway. Marcus was our bartender/waiter. He was energetic and personable and we had a blast interacting with him while dining here. The burgers were fantastic. I was a little iffy about …

Feda Afaneh

Great food beautiful atmosphere awesome service ♦️

DrowsySquid75

Nothing can describe the experience that I had at this restaurant. Walking in there was a long wait but we decided to stick it out anyway and boy was that worth it. The burgers are huge and juicy and everything was piping hot. A must go for any meat lover.

Patrick Bell

I made my own burger. Bacon cheese burger that was supposed to be cooked medium. The buger was a nice size with great toppings (lettuce, pickles, bacon, mayo and onions. Taste was just okay and the burger was dry. Great wait staff and setting.

Robert Arlt Jr.

Best burger place.

Michael McCrory

Just don't try a burger. I had one at Boylston, not only was it unevenly cooked L > R, but they also managed to unevenly cook it top > bottom. Seriously, raw on the middle right and burnt to the upper left.

kevin herron

Better come here hungry lol especially for them milkshakes and burgers. The chips that comes with the burgers are on point loved them. Service was good but at times I wonder who was out to lunch the waitress or me lol

Charlie Ruggiero

Interesting burger topping combinations, was very pleased with my peanutbutter and fried banana topped patty!

Manuel Avellan

Best and most outrageous Burgers around!

A M

If you like burgers, you will love BBC. It’s always very tasty and burgers are juicy. They have nice beers too. Inferno is my fav and their shakes are superb.

William Welch

The food was really good. The selections for the burgers and frappes was inventive. It was a little pricy though.

R Scott Martin

Pricey but we'll worth it, huge entree's, Nice atmosphere.

Soumya Singh

Great burger! Recommended going for Green Monsta- with your choice of protein

Keith Kaplan

Wish I had come to this restaurant sooner as it's delicious food and great location in Cambridge. They have such a large assortment of burgers. I ordered the Mac and cheese burger, which is what was on Diner, Drive-ins, and Dives. I highly recommend it as well as any of the french fries. You also need to try one of their shakes... totally worth dit if you have a large enough stomach. I'd suggest putting in a reservation on the weekend for dinner as it can get pretty busy and place isn't too large.

rakesh jena

Great burgers and beers at great price. And near to the universities with football matches on. Cheers

Martin Aucoin

First and foremost the joint is obscenely overpriced the quality of food. The chicken was flavorless with barely any sauce to offset that fact. Chips were also very bland and the addition of beans was strange and seemed like a waste. I’ve had an okay burger from here but once again the price is outrageous for the quality. Stay away unless you’re a tourist.

Marcus Williams

Not bad food just lacking the flavor we were advertised the meat was a bit dry but nice combination of of infusions. Overall good job! Bartenders are very friendly.

Jesse Shearer

Love this place. Keep bringing new people here. Amazing food, fun atmosphere, great customer service.

Nicole Roach

Beyond incredibly delicious food. Staff is great as well! DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT A 420 BURGER. You will not be able to live with amount of regret you will feel.

bearlickus1

Great burgers, so-so service.

Alma Love

A pretty average burger joint.

Alon Mayafit

Very good hamburger.the fact that they donate lart of the revenues ,make it even more tastey

Veronica Phenix

The burger was alright, this place is pretty pricey and truthfully not worth the $$$. Staff is nice, facility is clean it was just sub par especially the Mac & cheese with pork egg rolls. 2 egg rolls for $10 (which I didn’t realize until after I ordered) and they were very terrible. Sadly not satisfied with the food.

Some Guy

Best burger and milkshake of my life 12/10

Sam Bartleman

The Killer Bee is phenomenal! The only disappointment is that you can’t sub the coleslaw that comes with the burger for fries, they have to be added separately. But the portions are huge, one order of fries is enough for a few people. Inside decor is very artsy and functional, trending towards the ever-popular industrial warehouse vibe. Service was great.

Dennis Smith

By far the best burgers I have had in Boston! I didn't get a chance to try the shakes (though a table near me did and it had an entire piece of cheesecake on it!) but they looked delicious. My significant other did however get a cocktail that they out dry ice in to make the glass smoke. I highly recommend this place!

Julian Massari

Good food! Nice shakes! A bit expensive though.

Peter Sandrev

As an out-of-towner, this is certainly in the running for the best burger I've ever had. The chips were top notch and the beer selection was exceptional. Highly recommend and will be back for sure.

Ana Escudero

I’m not going to pretend to be a burger expert... what I can say about this place, and why I liked it is: - They are heavy burgers, but they do not taste heavy. The meat is good and I would venture to say they are done on the day. - The …

Will Kin

food was amazing. but the waiter decided to have a very bad attitude after being asked to split the check among a group of 5. not only that but made us separate who got what and made us do what was asked of him. and after receiving a poor tip he came outside and verbally assault us as we were waiting for our car. would not be going to this location after this.

pirate0bloodyskull

Pretty mediocre and overpriced burger, to be honest. Shakes seem to be their gimmick, so I’d probably stick to this place as a dessert location.

Gardner Bryant

I've been here a couple of times. I've never been disappointed. Service is quick, the bartenders are knowledgeable, save room for dessert.

Ram Bhadra

Amazing food. Very creative combinations for the burger (My personal favorite is the 420 burger). The only thing that bothered me was that I got a spicy salsa instead of a sauce. It was a clear misunderstanding between me and the server but other than that great experience. Also don't sleep on the shakes here, absolutely out of the world.

Suna Sato

I'm not the person who needs all the flare. I like a basic cheeseburger. So maybe I'm not their demographic. My burger was reallllly seasoned but also dry... Also disliked that I can't sub fries for chips. I'm not fond of their chips I found those dry and no seasoning just a flat dry crisp. I was going to do 3 stars but the frappe was so over the top that they got another star

Kyle Mastro

Excellent burgers, both in quality of the food and the combinations of ingredients. The chips are house made, I would describe them as good, not great but the burgers more than make up for them. The beer is fresh and tasty. For the desserts I would suggest getting one of their huge Frappes. They are big and expensive, but easily serve 2 people and are ultra delicious. We sat at the bar and the service was great.

Janet Hurley

Burgers are unreal i had the king and loved it their shakes are fabulous

Shikhar Verma

Amazing amazing burgers. The whiskey tango foxtrot, kitchen sink and 420 are a must try. Other sides and all are nothing special but they are anyways insignificant in front of the glorious burgers. They have some good beers on rotation as well!

Jared M

Great food!

Mrs G

We were seated promptly. The pepsi tasted metallic so we sent it back but it returned tasting the same. I overheard another patron complain about the same thing. The food however was very good and tasty. The highlight of the evening was the …

Alisa Calzonzi

Loved the burgers! Staff was great, beer was great. Had a bad encounter with a woman who was mad my 9month old was a bit restless, but the staff didn't share her treatment towards me. Delicious!

Corey Wilburn

Good was Great, service was fast and with the windows open you get the feeling of being outside without actually sitting in the heat of the sun.

Przemek Pałka

My favourite burger place in Cambridge. Huge variety of burgers, one can order them also in a salad form, without the bun. Nice selection of craft beers. Reasonable price, fast service.

Robbie Cannon

Simply amazing

Lavanya Kodali

The burgers are must try....everyone is unique and tasty.

박지영

They have variety of burgers. You can enjoy very creative burgers that you can’t taste in other place. But it is little bit expensive.

Miguel Sandejas

Burgers are nice and juicy cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their chips were a bit dry but the fries were quite good. Nice restaurant/bar atmosphere for a gathering with friends!

Chelsea Monroe

Excellent food and beer. Cozy atmosphere. Hubby ordered a Lord Hobo Virtuoso, and we split the Sofie burger and sweet potato fries. Burger was cooked exactly as we ordered it. Interesting and unique burgers! Couldn't be more pleased.

Ricardo Jorge

Amazing burgers with very good service and atmosphere

Victoria Sidoti

Delicious. There are a lot of options but all of them are worth it, whether you're looking for a crazy burger or classic. The frappes are amazing and you get to add alcohol to any of them.

Michel Hilani

One of my favourite burger places in Boston!Menu is rich with a great variety of shakes, beer and cocktails. They have a massive selection of burgers, each burger is creative in its own way and has the most unusual ingredients you would imagine a burger might have! Service and staff was good. Definitely reccomend this place!

Emily Rose

Worth it. Worth the wait and the prices. Was originally going to go to the one in Boston but the wait was ridiculous so we opted for this location. I got a grilled cheese and my husband got the alpine burger. We shared sweet potato fries. It was super crowded inside, even more so because a dozen or more people waiting for tables were standing inside next to the patrons eating because it was cold outside. The poor waitresses were having a hard time politely getting through the people with backpacks, bags, large artwork canvasses.... anyway delicious food and was very happy to finish it off with the nutella frappe!

Shokoofeh Shafiei

A very good experience. Food was so tasty.

Levi Athan

Best burgers around. Love their Mac Attack

Daniel Clayton

Let me preface by saying the food here is pretty good. That being said the restaurant almost makes it to the level of a great restaurant but it always feels like a thing away. Some examples of this are I ordered the burger and it tasted good but was cold; the soda I ordered was lukewarm; the sweet potato fries were good but they could not be ordered as a side; the staff was extremely attentive to my wife and almost ignored me; and the bathroom was clean but it felt like I had stepped into an industrial area and the was graffiti on the mirror. The food aside from all this could have probably earned the restaurant 4 stars, but with a price tag of $50 before tip for my wife and I, I expect more.

Collin Anderson

Honestly, you get what you pay for with the burgers. Didn't partake of the $13-$15 shakes. That being said, they looked like they'd be worth it. Great atmosphere and great tasting food.

Murat POLAT

Friendly environment. Their nachos and burgers are really good! It's a little bit on the expensive side, but not unacceptable. Their shakes look really good but haven't tried them!

Anna Ray

This place is so fun. The milkshakes are a work of art and so are the burgers. They really work hard to make their food look and taste amazing. The cocktails there are a little strange so I'd stick with something you know you like.

AlphaDragon X11

Great size burgers and not super bad price. My biggest recommendation is to get the 420 burger at 4:20-5 if you are hungry in the time frame. The shakes are amazing as well

Mary Canavan

Love this place! Have been many times! My favorite burger is The Pilgrim. It is the best turkey burger I’ve ever had. My husband loves the Ranch Burger. The onion rings are to die for! We always get them as an App to share. I went her this weekend with my daughter and she had the build your own Mac and cheese and then we shared the Oreo Shake! Yum!!!

Tp37

We went for dessert and the milkshakes were fabulous

William MacKenzie

Tough parking, good not great burgers

Peter Wright

I enjoy the burgers here. Though they can be a tad pricey, there are some inventive and delicious options; I highly recommend going for the "420" special on weekdays. Service, however, is not always great. It's tough to get a consistently full glass of water, which doesn't seem like it should be a challenging thing to do.

Raj kumar

Love this place. Every burger is tasty including the wings

Mellythibs

Good place, definitely is a place worth trying

Amanda Melanson

The food here is really good. The milkshake themselves are okay, the toppings are what make them good!

Ashlee Perrotta

The Burgers are really good but I think they put way too much sauce on them. I couldn't taste the individual flavors of the toppings because all i could taste was the sauce they put on it. The atmosphere was very noisy.. I could barely hear my fiance across the table. A little disappointing. I won't be traveling to Boston for a Burger anytime soon

Carissa Diana

Very good burgers and chips! Friendly staff.

Juan Gaspar de Alba

Big Papi Burger is unique!

Stephen Medbery

Great burger. Cooked perfectly. You definitely won't leave hungry

Wendy Huang

The burgers are thick and they try to get creative with the add-ons and all that. But when you bite into the burger, it's not flavorful and a little disappointing.

Patrick Barbosa

Amazing Burgers but awesome shakes! Definitely must try.

Prajakta Jadhav

I had big papi burger and nutella #freakfrappes at boston burger company. Simply loved both the things.

Chelsea Hill

Very interesting menu. Never seen anything quite like it. The burger definitely hit the spot. Cool stuff.

Ryan Joy

Excellent burgers! Love going here with a group of friends, lots of awesome choices for burgers and really really good milkshakes that are worth developing diabetes for.

Emily Huang

Lots of different interesting burgers but the fundamental bread and meat were just okay. The two of us asked medium burgers and they were more like well done but still tasted fine. The bread was dry and not particularly spectacular. Their milkshakes also have a lot of flair and are fun but taste fairly average.

Stuart Davidson

Good food, cost slightly than it would in some other places but good service and flavour to make up for it

Stephanie McGinnis

Huge yummy burgers!

王龙Bira

Hype. Eaten better burgers at a better price

Ameze I

I would give this place zero stars if i could only because of my first experience there. I went to the Cambridge location and the staff was extremely rude. They gave us the wrong order, and then got upset when we brought it to their attention. Stay away from this location if you can

Maureen Fleming

Always my favorite stop when I am in Boston! It’s a must try. Everything is delicious especially the Sophie burger and the Mumbo Fries!!

Pratik Jawahar

Amazing Burgers! Must try the pigferno if you like pork. The hot mess was amazing as well! Their Milkshake with the caramel and churros are to die for!!

Reid Harris Cooper

An absolutely amazing burger and sides. It's huge and mouth watering. You could be in for a long long wait, but the service staff does their best to keep you appraised. I kind of wish I got to try one of their insane looking shakes.

Elsa Dong

I got the Root Burger. It was really good!! - Plenty of avocado, super ripe and creamy - Dreamy cheese sauce, nice strong flavor or cheese - Crispy tater tots! - The English muffin bread was sooo good, really well toasted, soft and fluffy

Kate Washington

Extremely great food! Nice people, good burgers, good prices for north beach. Definitely recommend

Warren Harrison

OMG! Fantastic burgers and fries and everything. Total comfort food. LOVE!!!
