Hooray for Sunset Cantina!. This is the best place for anything, from a big group outing to an intimate date to showing your parents a cool college restaurant. The decor consists of everything beer-related, and you can't go wrong w/ any of the food here - the portions are huge for a decent price (i.e. nachos for $8). Can't comment on the drinks as I'm not 21 yet, but my friends always rave about the birthday cake shot... guess where I'll be for my 21st!! Service is great, the servers are attentive and laid-back. Be prepared to wait a bit on the weekends during the busier hours.

Excellent food and beer selection. Great food. Very attentive wait staff. I've eaten there @ 60x in the last 5 years and have NEVER been disappointed. A+++++ in my estimation.

Don't go there.... If you enjoy being served by rude waitresses, having margaritas with no alcohol and overcrowded places, then that's the place for you. Went there last week, the waitress was extremely rude, the place very crowded, although this wasn't the biggest problem, the food average and what made me angry the most, they felt free to charge my card 2 dollars more than what the bill was...

Absolutely not recommended..

Nachos and beer. You have to get the nachos. But expect to share with the group and still feel as full as you can fathom. They've also got the best beer selection for miles, as well as some top-notch ciders. I've had the burgers and they're not my favorite, but they're still pretty good. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The only downfall is that it's always crowded with BU dudes acting stupid. Maybe they're not acting. Still, the food and beer is fantastic if you have the good fortune of being seated far enough from the men's lacrosse team.
