Kevin MacApril 29, 2016Had the Korean BBQ with turkey. It was delish. Wait staff was friendly and provide good service. Sweet Potato fries are a must!
Fernando KikudomeDecember 13, 2016The Signature´s house burger was very tasteful. Unfortunately they don´t have bbq, however the homemade sauce was good. The onions were also nice. The hose famous shake is the best option. The cake ok
Michelle VaughnApril 22, 2016This is a hopping place! The food was excellent. Some of the VERY BEST sweet potato fries I've ever had.
Leandro AmorimSeptember 11, 2014Terrific. The Original 5 Napkin burger is great. They also have the best onion rings I've eaten in a long time, heavily crispy and awesome.
Bonus H.October 9, 2014Well if u want a Sam Adams beer in a signature glass it's a good place but not for $7.50 a pint! Come on! $2 slider at hh r good way to try the $15 burger and save ur cash. Full price not worth it!
One of the best burgers I've had in my entire life, but it doesn't stop there... The milkshakes for dessert are ridiculously good!
Boston University Panhellenic CouncilDecember 29, 2012Our VP Programming, Brittany, can't get enough of this place! Her favorites are the original 5 napkin burger and the chicken noodle matzo ball soup - who would have thought?
Billy SMarch 11, 2015BBLT burger was good, fries overdone (crispy dark yellow to orange), and slightly over an hour from seating to entrée on a quiet Monday night as an eight top. Calamari was nice.
Jen RobertsNovember 30, 2013All of their burgers were massive, but they made me a kids size burger with adult style fixings. Very accommodating. Good fries too.
5NB rocks! Can't go wrong with sushi + burger + shake. I'll vouch for the southwestern roll, original burger, lamb burger, smores shake and cookies & cream shake. Enjoy!
Boston.comDecember 29, 2011It may look like an old-fashioned butcher shop, but this upscale Back Bay spot offers every modern variation on the burger you could dream up – and all between great buns. Read more
Gerald RheadApril 9, 2013It was good but by no means the best burger I have ever had. My wife said the fried pickles with pastrami were outstanding.
IrinaJune 21, 2016Patty in their special burger is juicy and tender. Ribs are really spicy. Everyday special thing works only at the bar. Overall, the place is ok but nothing extraordinary.
Oh my. I'm a PITA to feed with all my food allergies, but 5 napkin gave me the red carpet treatment. Don't be afraid to talk to waitstaff about your needs.
Kat ChapmanMarch 3, 2013Taquitos are small but huge burgers! Love the avocado ranch... Has all the favorites and best fries in town
Lisa D'MekkoDecember 22, 2012Original 5N burger is amazing and we ordered a multi grain bun instead of a a white roll. Excellent service!!
Max SaberFebruary 22, 2015Veggie burger is crazy good. I enjoyed getting lettuce as the "bun" for the burger :)
Andrew CameronAugust 8, 2014Good burgers and easy fare while shopping in/around the Prudential tower and Copley Center
WynterAugust 27, 2013Sit outside on the patio if its nice, order the blueberry mint lemonade and calamari..you're welcome
Douglas MooreMarch 20, 2012The bacon and cheddar burger was really good. Get the Tuscan fries! Definitely a good spin on the normal French fries.
S A SHAPIROJune 29, 2017Happy hour at the bar is reasonably priced. Sitting at a table in restaurant is way over priced.
5 napkin burger doesn't need any condiments. And if you really feel like splurging, get the fried pickle & pastrami app. Do it. Seriously.
Eileen ChamJuly 28, 2012huge portions - share dish with someone! waitresses were graciously nice when we told her that we were sharing
Meaghan GAugust 3, 2012Leah is a great bartender. And splurge for the Tuscan fries. Hands down best burger ever!
Donna Tickner LuglioNovember 25, 2016Burgers cooked to order. Asked for medium rare, got medium rare!! French fries extra.
Nick LesswaterMarch 30, 2013$2 happy hour sliders in the bar/cocktail area (4-7, 9-11/12) ARE THE BOMB
Jason CarrascoMarch 24, 2011the Tennessee Tea is a great cocktail - Jack Daniels, sweet vermouth, mint and housemade ginger ale
BostonTweetJuly 7, 20115 Napkin Burger has 50c gourmet wings and $2 sliders every day from 3-6pm - Allagash White too!!!
Not a fan of the original 5 napkin burger but the ahi tuna burger is quite tasty. Pair it with a side of tuscan fries and enjoy.
Matthew CoolMarch 28, 2012pricey for what you get. My burger came w/ some house sauce, plus the burger was pretty well done for med. Tasty Burger is down the st and 1/2 the price
Joel FernandesMay 16, 2015Blah burger... Nothing great... If you made it here... Go a few blocks down to Boston burger company... You'll not regret
Allyssa EdwardsApril 13, 2012Substitute turkey or veggie for any burger. They are very flexible with their menu items.
