What People Are Saying About Beacon Street Tavern

The Editor

Eric Grossman

Citysearch

In Short – Similar to its sister location, the Beacon Street Tavern aims to provide its guests with a welcoming spot for reasonably-priced, upscale comfort fare. The menu runs the gamut from pressed sandwiches and spicy beef quesadillas to more high-minded fare like seared tuna and an eggplant napoleon. No reservations are taken, so most patrons face a wait, even on weeknights. When the weather allows, there's a breezy outdoor patio.

all i wanted was a good burger ad fries, i got a burger that was burnt on the outside. the fries were perfect besides the cook adding peper to them-

the waitress could not have been nicer.

abe and louis on boyleston makes a perfect burger with good fries for the same price tag.

Beacon St, yes, Tavern, NO

I was starving and decided to give the place a try since it had outdoor seating and was next to a place where I needed to run errands.

The only "Tavern" food available was a burger and beer. Otherwise it was upscale bistro fare on the expensive side. I opted for the cheapest entree...the burger (at 11.50) and ordered it medium. Well, when it came out, it was about 1/2 the size of the bun and wayyy over cooked. I was so hungry I ate it anyway. I don't mind spending money on good food, but for a burger, I'd go somewhere else.

If you're looking for fiddlehead soup with tender pea tendrils, then give it a try.

Don't forget your credit card! You'll need it.

  • Pros: Great outdoor seating
  • Cons: Expensive fare with mediocre food
