    We ordered two burger bombs cooked medium. The bread was cold and stale and the burger just warm and cooked medium well. The burger comes with house made chips which were cold and greasy. No pickle on the side but comes with either cole slaw or beans. We had beans and they were cold. Fries were an extra charge. Our server was excellent and attentive. Price is a bit high given the quality of the food. We only treat ourselves to a burger 1–2 times a year so this was disappointing. A generous 4 stars because our server was so nice and management took the opportunity to make it right.

    You always find impossible burgers but it’s rare to find a veggie burger. The taste was delicious and recommended dining place if you visit Davis Square. What should I put first in my belly and what bite I should save as last one will always be a question….A coleslaw salad, chips or the burger. If you save burger bite as last, you like the burger and that’s what you’ve drove for…. Only one critique, if flies are controlled it would be a 5 star place.

    Wide selection of delicious novelty burgers and frappes. For a simple giant saucy burger that is equal parts greasy as puzzle to fit into your mouth, they can't be beat.

    The best burger experience I’ve had in Boston. They have a proper vegetarian patty instead of lab made veggie substitutes. That itself earned them 5 stars. When you order here, you don’t need to be worried about asking for more since portion sizes are huge. You’ve got to work up an appetite before visiting. Their loaded chip-nachos are a meal in itself. I’ve tried their shakes, those are very over the top yet equally delicious. Our server was very patient with questions and made ordering food a delight. 110% recommend.

    I had another fantastic meal here that did not disappoint. Today's selection was the Artery Clogger. The burger was done to my requested medium and sandwich was not greasy, like you would think it would be. I highly recommend stopping it and giving this place a try.

    Um. Yum. Their fried pickles are amazing. We sat outside to people watch in Davis square which never disappoints. Outside space could be utilized a bit more..My daughter is obsessed with their Mac n Cheese & Shirley temples and I had their veggie burger with marinated tomatoes & roasted reds. Boston Burger killed it with the V options. Woop Woop.

    Boston Burger Company is personally my favorite burger in the area. The menu items may seem gimicky but the quality is consistent and great across all menu items and all ingredients. Everything here is just good. I particularly recommend anything with the mac & cheese or pulled pork. The milkshakes are artisan, the burgers are perfection, and the sides are outstanding. Be prepared to eat a lot though, my friends and I always plan our visits and fast the entire day leading up. Although the prices may seem higher than a normal burger shop, the ratio of cost to volume of food is actually quite amazing.

    Paid a visit to Boston Burger in Somerville, armed with high expectations based on past delightful experiences at its Boston counterpart. Here’s a detailed account of my evening. Server: She was the highlight. Efficient, attentive, and commendably prompt. She handled everything with grace, making sure our drinks were timely and our concerns were addressed. Spicy Pterodactyl wings: Despite the promising name, they leaned heavily on the teriyaki side, with no discernible spiciness. Their temperature was inconsistent, with some wings arriving cold. On pointing out a possible mix-up, the replacement was swift but seemed to be a quick-fix rather than a fresh order, leading to an even heavier sauce saturation and still-cold wings. Burgers: My go-to choice, the Inferno burger, which has always been a delight in Boston, sadly disappointed. The buns lacked freshness, appearing limp and cold. The patty itself was just warm, lacking the rich flavor and temperature I was accustomed to. On the other hand, my fiancée’s order of The 420 had its own set of issues. While she found the taste acceptable, the ingredients inside, particularly the mozzarella sticks, were cold. Additionally, the patty was undercooked, being served rare instead of her specified medium. Price Point: Our experience, when weighed against the $80 we spent, didn’t align with the value we expected based on prior experiences at the Boston location. In conclusion, while I’m inclined to chalk this up to an off night for the kitchen staff, the overall experience was underwhelming. I believe in second chances, so I might return after a while, hoping for consistency with the Boston location that I know and love. But for this particular visit, it’s clear there are areas needing attention and improvement.

    Burger and milkshake were both delicious and ridiculous, as promised. Unfortunately our milkshakes were delayed because the staff forgot to refill the ice cream machine, but on the bright side, that delay gave us more time to start digesting the hefty burgers before cramming more food into our stomachs. Everything about the burger (I ordered the "420") was perfect. One slight complaint about the shake is that I would have preferred a higher ratio of actual shake to whipped cream.

    I heard about this place through TikTok and I had to try it. Funny enough I’m from nyc. Me and my girlfriend came to try the food and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Mumbo fries to start and the flavor on everything was so on point. Healthy portion of fries to say the least. Next came my burger (I ordered the “Burger Bomb”) and it was very flavorful, and nicely sized! Lastly I ordered the S’mores Freakfrappe and it’s just like I saw on TikTok! I say it was worth the visit and the flavors won’t disappoint. The area is a little cramped but the service and food was well worth everything. Let me just say if you go here, bring your appetite because you won’t be wanting food anytime soon after!

    Located at the heart of David Square. The best thing about the place is the menu. Too many options to choose from and what a wide variety available. If you are some one who loves burgers, surely try this place. Although, the taste of the burgers were decent. That’s the reason I have give 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Henry D. 10 months ago on Google
    Wow, we have lived by Davis Square for two years and didn't try this place until this past weekend. The portions were huge. I probably could have just had half the burger and been okay, but I finished it. Normally when a place has so many toppings on a burger the meat is lacking but that was not the case here, great burger, great toppings. The shakes also looked amazing but after eating a burger and some fries there was no room left.

    Ordered delivery from here on Sunday. The food showed up and we were missing 3 full meals, and one burger which was ordered with a gluten free bun and noted a gluten allergy was on a regular bun. Tried calling the restaurant multiple times and they just never picked up the phone. Finally I called the Cambridge location and spoke to a manager who said he’d get in touch with the Davis Square manager and someone would get back to me, but I have still heard nothing

    This was our 2nd visit. Food is consistently good. Server was nice. Good beer and wine selection. I am not usually a fan of boneless wings but these were very good! Poutine was also good.

    Life is short F….it up Family, Flavor, Friends Small quaint burger place in Davis sq. Ordered the Bomb Burger - sautéed onions mushrooms cheese burger. It was delivered on a lighted grilled bulky roll, homemade chips and baked beans. The chips were tasty especially when u dip it in the baked beans( yeah I know that sounds weird). The burger was as expected although it did not have a lot of seasoning it was cooked on a flat grill and had a great flavor.

    Really a perfect location to sit outside and have a phenomenal burger. Everything was sensational, I’ll continue to frequent as I did in my college days.

  • 5/5 K B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went for a late night bite with the family. I got the hot mess burger, my son got the buffalo, and my wife got the 420... We also got the July special fries which had cheese, bbq, ranch, and caramelized onions. Everything was delicious, next time I wouldn't get the fries, because I feel they were a bit over priced for the amount we got, and of course we had left overs of our burgers, so we would've been fine without them anyway. Overall, a delicious meal with great fast service. The place was very busy, but out waitress was very attentive.

    They have a lot of options for food, especially their hamburgers. I really enjoyed the food and the shake was good (outside of the coffee cake part haha).
