The Scene
Weather-permitting, many diners opt to eat outside rather than in the unremarkable dining room. The small bar serves up countless mixed and blender drinks. Laid-back waiters help guests choose from the vast menu. An affordable place to get a decent meal, it can get packed on Red Sox game days.
The Food
You name it, Thornton's serves it. Whether you're looking for just a snack or a dinner plate big enough to share, you won't be disappointed. Fabulous, lightly fried zucchini is just one highlight on one of Boston's largest appetizer menus. Burgers and chicken sandwiches come in endless varieties; lighter fare includes veggie pockets and a gigantic fruit plate served with cottage cheese. Full meals (chicken, fish, steak and pasta dishes) come with fresh house salads. Blender concoctions of fruit and ice cream are available for the few that can manage dessert.

I go to Thorntons all the time because I can't get enough of the food, everything with the exception of the salads are phenomenal. The wings, chicken sandwiches, burgers, and dinners are amazing. Not to mention they have killer fries. However, I go there for the food, and the food only. The service is rough... it is complete chaos when its busy, because i truly believe they have no organization what so ever. It takes forever to pay the bill and get any sort of alcoholic drink. Also, the servers are a bunch of hippie students who get distracted very easily and spend there time talking to other servers even though you may have just asked for something. I work in the industry and I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun at work but this place takes it a little to far. But the food is awesome!! and pretty cheap!!

This is my number one breakfast spot in Boston. (second to the Grecian diner in allston which is currently burned down). Although Thorntons HAS let me down before in terms of service---- I was also given free meals (and mamosas!!) the two times it happened. I LOVE THORNTONS!!!!! I love the cinnamon french-bread-french-toast! Best thing ever on a Saturday morning (...late morning) with friends sitting outside! Go!

The food is alright. It was something really good that I have to return again. I guess it's a good hang out place for students near the Fenway area to grab a bottle of beer. But if you're here for excellent food qualities I'm afraid you'll be a bit disappointed. The prices could be cheap to expensive depending on what you're getting. I ordered bbq chicken. I liked the fact that it comes with salad, cole slaw, very good fries, and a huge chicken. Seriously, it was a chicken, not a small piece of chicken but with wings and thighs...only the head wasn't there. And it was all for $10.95. Pretty good deal for all this good stuff.
