User Reviews for The Joshua Tree

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Had a great time, was fun as Tonic but better as JT. Been to the JT in Somerville and NYC. If you're a beer enthusiast and go with at least one other thirsty scholar try the "table topper." Trust me, you'll enjoy it..Waitress was fun and enthusiastic, bouncer at the door was funny..

I loved the tonic, but the Joshua Tree is even better. The half price burger deal just cant be beat, and the burgers are fantastic. If you havent checked out the new menu at this place you need to get there soon, you will not be dissappointed. Still has the same great service.

Pros: Half price burgers, sports

Cons: nothing

My fiance and I have been going to the Joshua Tree with friends since it opened. The food is really tasty. I recommend getting a side of sweet potato fries to share, as well as the spinach artichoke dip. Joshua Tree does it "sunset style" by piling the dip on top of cruncy pita chips. When we were there for the Sunday Brunch, the owner was very present by checking in with everyone and giving out sweet shots! For the most part the service is good...

Pros: beer, tv, food

Cons: service

Had a previous bad experience, but wanted to try again. No luck. Beware their false advertising. They say food is 1/2 price M-F b/w 5 and 7pm, but I was charged full price. Since I already had been waiting THIRTY MINUTES for my food, I didn't want to make a scene. When I finally got my dinner, the burger was lukewarm and the fries were cold.

Pros: Convenient location

Cons: Food and service

Editor's Review

Popular Davis Square bar looks to duplicate its success by taking over the former Tonic space in Allston.  See the full editorial review.
