They have real Belgian style fries here--the thin ones. And awesome burgers. My favorite bar around North Station.

The Porters' Porter, made by Mercury Brewing Co., is the house beer and a very solid porter. Drink one (or many) before a Celtics or Bruins game. (Unfortunately, it's not available in the summer.)

Came here on Sun around 2pm place was pretty empty. Cajun chicken warp was tasty, lots of flavor. The fish tacos on the other hand lacked flavor, need some spices in the breading. Ate everything :)

The Cajun chicken spinach salad isn't listed as a Porter's choice, but it's quite delicious for anyone trying to keep the carbs down.

Troeg's beer is one of the most underrated breweries in the nation. If they have Hopback (or other) on draft, give it a try.

Got the Cubano pannini. Turkey was kinda cold, but the chipotle mayo made up for it. Recommend the Dogfish 90 Min. IPA on tap.

Least crowded bar that's the least amount of shady prior to a Celtics or Bruins game. Anyone who's been to the Penalty Box knows what I'm talking about.

Go to Porters. The burgers are great, but the Cubano is like crack. Talk to Scooter. Read more
