"Burgers are the name of the game at Mr. Bartley'€™s. Across from hallowed Harvard Yard, this famed burgermeister has been grilling burgers and whipping up thick frappes for decades." Full review

"Some sandwiches have humorous names linked to a celebrity or politician, but most importantly, the prices are right, the food is fresh, and it fills you up."

"Simple seafood dishes (grilled, broiled or fried) like sea scallops, filet of sole or Boston scrod that should be paired up with a side of Boston baked beans." Full review

"Apart from Boston scrod, the best bet by far is the raw bar. Savor the differences in oysters from various waters of the world."
