Editorial Review for O'Sullivan's Pub – by Eric Grossman

With its warm-colored wooden walls and a horseshoe-shaped bar, O'Sullivan's feels like a neighborhood lodge. Young and old couples laugh and chat over pints of beer while watching sports on the two large hanging TVs. Reliable, affordable pub fare includes subs, steaks and seafood entrees. But the star is a juicy half-pound burger (with more than 25 toppings, including sauteed mushrooms and homemade Boursin spread). Sides include hand-cut fries, rings and slaw.

High Marks
* "...you can see the grill and they start your order as ordered. so you have to wait 20 minutes for your burger. but it is well worth the wait..." (bleuemoon, Citysearch user)

* "I wouldn't go anywhere else (besides my own kitchen) for a great burger. The "black and blue" is my favorite..." (ashley001, Citysearch user)

Low Marks
* "...The only drawback was the size. O'Sullivan is your nieghborhood bar & grill so a large group is not recommended." (firstfriday, Citysearch user)

* "...the service was poor. I asked for a medium burger and it came back well done..." (marjoriecam, Citysearch user)

Know Before You Go

The nearest T station (Porter Square) is quite a hike, so be prepared to walk many blocks--or drive, if you're not drinking.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I was smitten with R.F. O'Sullivan & Son from the first time I eyed the 20+ burger list. The only drawback is that the burgers take 20 minutes to grace the table. For distraction, I dive tortilla chips into the Tangy Chili topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese. My pick is the Black & Blue Burger, a 1/2 pound of Sirloin, encrusted thick with black pepper, and smothered in sharp Blue Cheese. Wedge-fries and thick onion rings are a bonus. Luckily, a few beer selections are sized to match the burgers.

BEST burgers in the city. Period. Great atmosphere - they just recently renovated - great brews on tap. Monster menu - I think there are over 20 combinations of burgers on that menu! But nothing beats their steak tips. OMG they are sooooo good! I HIGHLY recommend!
