T Anthony's Pizzeria & Restaurant
Neighborhood: Allston/Brighton
1016 Commonwealth Ave
Boston,
MA
02215
Tom E. writes: T Anthony's is a classic East Coast pizza joint. Good cheap quick round pizza available by the slice or as the whole pie. It's not a dining establishment - it's an eating establishment. It's exactly what you would expect for American Pizzeria.…

1277 Commonwealth Ave
Allston,
MA
02134
Alex S. writes: Overall, this is a great place to hang out and play some drunken Jenga...and you thought the game got challenging at the end sober. Plus they have some good drink and snack prices - never eaten a full meal here before.

Cambridge,
MA
02138
Ligaya T. writes: Tip to the golddiggers (courtesy of Wendy L): skip the FiDi and come here. The HBS boys come in droves and you'll look much more sincere if you get em while they're young, ya know? So what if you'll have to wait a few years to really get wined and…

Boston,
MA

536 Tremont St Apt 6
Boston,
MA
02116
Melissa C. writes: This pizza is not good. The crust tastes and feels like rubber. The sauce is bland. It's not even like good greasy, floppy drunk pizza. I'd probably go 1 or 2 stars on this joint, BUT...
*Fresh ingredients.
*CHEAP
*Only an $8 minimum
*Delivers until 1 AM…
Waltham Tavern
Neighborhood: South End
298 Shawmut Ave
Boston,
MA
02118
Alex R. writes: Unfortunately, I have to break it to y'all that the Waltham has been closed by The Man. Apparently the owner has been dead for forty years, it was a mob front and they sold Oxycontin out the back. (I never saw any of those things, but that's the…

Noir
Neighborhood: Harvard Square
1 Bennett St
Cambridge,
MA
02138
Rachel J. writes: What has never failed to impress me at Noir is their low rate of staff turnover. How frequently is it that you go to a bar maybe 10 times a year and see familiar faces each of those times? If the familiar faces make a great cocktail, I keep coming…

Cambridge,
MA

Ninety Nine Restaurant & Pub
4 Fisher St
Foxboro,
MA
02035
Nicole D. writes: Very fond of this chain. As the previous reviewer mentioned, they give you free popcorn as an appetizer, instead of bread. They're in the same boat as Applebees and Ruby Tuesdays in that the walls are covered in useless junk that's fun to look at.…
Rudy's Cafe
Neighborhood: Teele Square
248 Holland St
Somerville,
MA
02144
Heather F. writes: Rudy's is a great local spot for excellent Tex Mex and awesome margaritas. Even if there's a wait (which there may be since they usually don't take reservations), there's seating near the bar and free chips and salsa while you wait (and drink your…

Peter N. writes: (actually 3.5)
I have a real love/hate relationship with Harvest. So let me explore this dissonance:
Pros:
Harvest is less than a half block from my apartment and has saved the day on many occasions, whether it be for a sudden dessert craving, or…
Boloco
Neighborhood: Financial District
82 Water St
Boston,
MA
02109
Brendan M. writes: The burritos are on the small side, but it must be said that Boloco has put some energy into coming up with original and creative fillings. In a sense, I think Boloco may be doing themselves a disfavour branding their wraps as burritos. As a one-time…
The Sevens
Neighborhood: Beacon Hill
77 Charles Street
Boston,
MA
02114
Damien S. writes: When I'm out with friends and a bartender who sides more on the grizzled-but-good than pretty-but-useless joins our conversations and eventually tells us, "I like you. You know why? Because you're not a bunch of pretentious fucks," then proceeds to…

520 Columbus Ave
Boston,
MA
02118
Brian D. writes: Put a take out tray of sushi in front of 5 tequila drunk adults who have not had good food in three days and I dare you to try and take it away. A pack of ravenous wolves could not have done more damage to the contents of this foil vessel of fishy…

All about Atmosphere. It's been in the neighborhood for a hundred years, is huge, and makes you feel like you are in the old country.
