Popeye’s Fried Chicken and Biscuits

645 Beacon Street
Boston, MA 02215
Since this is Boston, i’m going to write this review as if you’ve never heard of Popeye’s before.
Popeye’s is a fast food chain that specializes in fried food (primarily chicken). It’s got a little bit of a pseudo Norlens vibe, if you look at the art work on the walls or [...]

Inbound Pizza

1232 Commonwealth Ave
Allston, MA 02134
It’s like when your a kid and you have to choke down an entire big bag of salt and vinegar chips before they start to finally taste good.
One could say the same about Inbound Pizza. It’s made by some kind of eastern euro-anians, but they’re all pretty nice guys considering the [...]

Rami’s

324 Harvard Street
Brookline, MA 02445
I only go to two places for shawarma- Rami’s and Shawarma King.
I like the shawarmas at Rami’s just a little bit better for the following reasons:
First- I believe it’s turkey meat that is rotating on the upright spit.
Secondly- They put it in a pita instead of a roll up which allows [...]

Au Bon Pain

431 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02116
You walk in an its noon time so its crowded and filled with “Young Urban Professionals” (Yuppies). You push your way through what if you hadnt been there before would appear to be a line for waiting for orders but is really just people standing around waiting for their order to [...]

The Avenue Bar and Grille

1249 Commonwealth Ave
Allston, MA 02134
I love cheap beer. I’d almost say I love it more than the woman who tore my heart out and destroyed my naive, innocence and optimistic world view, the family that disowned me, the college I went to four years that taught me to hate pointless sports affiliations, the God I [...]

Our House West

1277 Commonwealth Ave
Allston, MA 02134
I’ve never had the food. That said, the food that wafts by always looks good and I end up in this vicious cycle where i’m only willing to buy it when i’ve already blown all my money on the 2 dollar (large bottle) Brubakers.
I have no idea what Brubaker is [...]

White Horse Tavern

The White Horse is lame.
But…
If you’ve been living off dollar menu double cheese burgers, Marlboro 27’s and drinking cup after cup of beer that tastes like the ass of good beer all weekend and can scrounge up $9.95 its a good way to kill a morning.
Expensive, I know. But it is all you can eat, [...]

Viga

I’ve eaten at Viga extensively, so pardon if this becomes a bit lengthy or gives more detail than you really need to know.
Viga is an Italian place. It gets packed during rush hour but even though the line is long the service is extremely quick and not all that rude considering the volume they’re moving. [...]
