Two guys working on Sunday afternoon. We walked in to a few folks at the bar and an empty set of tables. Didn’t look promising. We were pleasantly surprised from start to finish. The after show rush filled up the place in 20 minutes and the place got busy! The guys were humping, but did a great job taking care of everyone we saw in the place, despite looking short handed. Food was all good, solid pub fare. North shore roast beef took me back to Ipswich. The number of gluten free options was awesome to see.

My family and I went here the day after Thanksgiving as a special holiday trip since we live over an hour away from Boston and turned out to be the best place we could've chosen! I made a reservation through the OpenTable reservation app and when we arrived at the restaurant they seated us right away. The hostess was amazing as when we first arrived we didn't like where our table was placed, and then when we moved to another it was right next to the kitchen, where the music played very loudly. Not making an enjoyable place to order. Luckily though, the hostess was kind enough to move us a 2nd time to a booth and made sure we were all set and comfortable! I truly have never had that happen in a restaurant before but our hostess was so kind and patient even when it was very busy. She went above and beyond. After getting seated and finding a perfect spot for my family, our server Addison was kind and amazing. She made sure to give us time to decide what to get as it was our first time there and even went out of her way to make my sister and I a drink they did not have on the menu. My sister really wanted a daiquiri but couldn't consume alcohol at the time so Addison let us know she could make something for us based on what they had at the bar and was a lemonade base, which my sister wanted. She came back with a house-made peach lemonade and even added an orange slice garnish to give it the daiquiri feel and was so accommodating and went above and beyond! After some time of ordering our appetizers and entrees, Addison made sure to check in on us and ask if we needed anything even when it was super busy and a full house. Later after finishing our food and all of us requesting a to-go box, Addison made sure to get us the correct size boxes for our leftovers and even gave us a bag and willingly helped us bag up our food in a to-go bag provided by the restaurant. I rarely try new places during the holidays, especially on a Friday night, which is when we went, but this restaurant was an amazing choice and I highly recommend it! The dishes we ordered were super flavorful and probably the best restaurant I've tried in Boston when it comes to a simple American menu. It is such a family-friendly restaurant and very warm and inviting. I would be willing to drive over an hour again just to come back with my family and friends. Another thing I really enjoyed about this restaurant aside from the service and food is their ability to offer both vegetarian AND gluten-free options as one of my sisters is gluten-free while the other is vegetarian. The restaurant has so many options and took my sibling's modifications seriously. My gluten-free sister also reported that her food was very good, which is rare as a lot of restaurants we've tried do not have tasty gluten-free options/dishes. The photos down below show my family's order being; the Korean Sticky Pork Ribs, 2 BPH burgers, 1 Beyond Vegetable Burger, a side of the seasonal sautéed vegetables, and 1 Fish and Chips entree. Overall, if anyone ever wants to try something new with their family, or even go by themselves, I highly recommend this place and their Korean Sticky Pork Ribs and the Fish and Chips!

Boston restaurant with gluten-free options. Variety of burgers and very friendly waiters. Recommended

The food was great! They have gluten free buns available. Really cool atmosphere, historic!

Excellent food, great waitress, and huge portions for the price. We got the fried pickles (huge plate for $5), fish and chips and the Reuben. Ordered the Reuben as gluten free and they made it on a gluten free bun with no up charge. We had a bunch of leftovers!

Anyone familiar with Quincy Market will know it is a madhouse. Ned Devine's gives you the chance to get away from the craziness and sit down for a meal. The food is pretty good. I loved the soft pretzel appetizer and the Ned Burger was great. It is a big burger too. The gluten free options are plentiful as the rest of Quincy Market sucks in this regard.

Really impressed with the service and food quality. Small portions, but no upcharge for gluten free pasta.

Two Tickets Away

Sat at the bar, was a pretty slow Monday evening so service was quick. Bartender was very friendly. Ordered a gluten free pizza and some drinks. GF dough is marked, not sure about other GF items(have to ask). Overall it was tasty! Just know that (personally) 1 GF pizza is enough for one person. If it’s more than one person I’d recommend getting one each. Delicious nonetheless! Would go again

Delicious food and drinks! Special shout out to Estefani for her superb service. My friend had asked about the gluten free options and Estefani immediately asked for more details on whether or not it was an allergy / celiac. She went over the options thoroughly with my friend and clearly communicated to us how the kitchen could modify the menu to accommodate a GF diet. Throughout the night, Estefani was incredibly attentive and kind. Thank you so much for making this the 5 star that it was! Service like yours makes all the difference!

We had brunch on December 30. We made reservations and we seated upstairs. There is a big difference between the upstairs room and the downstairs one, although the downstairs one is quite nice as well. The food was very good. The service was excellent. You have a great view of the park and the ambience is quiet and soothing without being pretentious. There were other families there and they have enough for kids to eat, but the adult menu is wonderful. Additionally, they had vegan and gluten free options.

Super cute, historic tavern. Really really music which isn’t my favorite but other than that, the food, drinks and service were great. We got gluten free chicken tenders, which were good. They do not have a separate fryer just fyi.

Delicious shrimp tacos! I appreciated that the menu pointed out the gluten free options. The fries were extra delicious too, though probably a little fatty for some people
