Tasty is a must go to and the Fenway one is always on point food-wise. The Bacon cheese burger is like coming home after a long trip and passing out in your bed. Everything you want it to be every damn time. I recommend adding pickles and jalapeÃ±os to maximize drooling. The 50/50 is genius. Who doesn't look at a menu and think "I would order rings and fries but people will stare"... have no fear, order it, and get it with spicy cheese sauce and cherry limeade and let the people around you stare with jealously. Their shakes are also a legit choice. The coffee one is great and the mint one as well, however, be warned, the mint one has chocolate chips and get stuck in the straw. Service here was previously better than it has been lately. There seems to be a new manager or owner(?) who is always there who needs to figure out expediting issues in the kitchen. It's never good when lots of people are looking around like umm how long does a burger take and something fried? Don't socialize by the bar if half the people in the room don't have their food yet! Also--burgers come in this perfect little burger sleeping bag that makes eating that joyous thing incredible as none of it gets all over you after you douse it with all the saucy sauces on the table.

Me and my hubby came to this place last year in June while visiting Boston and we loved it!!!We are back in Boston with our 7yr old and had to go back to Tasty Burger he loved it! The burgers are amazing!!!!! Customer service is always good and the atmosphere is awesome great place to visit while in Boston and it's a block away from Fenway which is great!

This has quickly become one of my favorite place to drop in for lunch or dinner before a ballgame! This is only a problem because I don't even want to know how many calories are in one of these delicious, juicy, "tasty" burgers. This past time I went I was feeling a bit guilty for even stepping foot in the door so I tricked my mind into thinking I was being a little more healthy by getting the Big Tasty and subbing out the beef for a veggie burger. I think the veggie burger was just as good, if not even a little better than the beef patty!! There were REAL veggies in it, not just a rice patty with some beans. It was delicious! It probably didn't save me very many calories, if any at all, but that didn't matter at that point! The waitresses/bartenders have always been super friendly and helpful. And the beer list is filled with your everyday favorites, and the more obscure cans that you can only find in wonderful establishments such as this! Oh! Fun fact! You can get half fries and half onion rings if you can't make up your mind!!

My business partner and I ate here before a Red Sox game. We heard great things about this burger joint on Phantom Gourmet so I wanted to check it out. We found a table right away. I ordered the Big Tasty with onion rings and my partner ordered the mushroom burger with cheese fries and a chocolate shake. The burgers were juicy and delicious and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy and the onion ringer were decent...nothing special there. I highly recommend Tasty Burger for an affordable meal before or after a Sox game. It's a great value with burgers coming in under $6. I would have paid double what I paid inside Fenway Park for half the quality of food. The place is a funky converted gas station which retains some of that old vibe. I saw a pool table in the back. It's cool, relaxed and delicious. Our waitress was attentive, quick and friendly. Thumbs up for sure!

Left a Sox game hungry and thirsty. Burgers were great, but not thrilled with their "large" coke that seemed like a standard 16 oz. Good selection, and I will likely be back when I am in the area.

This place is average. Nothin' special. If anything, service needs work. The manager needs to do some quality control and check in on guests here and there, especially because there are multiple complaints over the undesirable level of service. The beau and I ordered two burgers (the big tasty and the bacon cheeseburger) with sides of fried and onion rings. Food came out and the food runner said onion rings weren't even ordered. Oh and bacon was missing from the bacon cheeseburger as well. Tasty Burger, get it together. Your burgers aren't good enough to have shoddy service and returning customers.

Here's the breakdown for Tasty Burger: +1 star for being open late. +1 star for having beer on the menu. +1 star for excellent variety of combinations of fried meat, bread, and various fixin's. +1 star for expedient service and take-out, even late at night. +1 star for convenient location, especially if you live / go to school near the Fenway. -1 star for being really broey. Seriously, it's like fucking Rush Week up ins all the time. -1 star for quality of food. I mean... it's good, but don't expect to have your mind blown Things I would highly recommend here: a) Butta Burger, if you're 100% committed to the whole "let's channel Julia Child" thing. b) The Blue Collar, especially if you're in the mood for a side of heart attack with your sangwich. c) BBQ Onion burger. I mean, seriously. They had me at BBQ. d) The Hubba Burger. It's chili. On a burger. End of fucking story. Overall, this place won't hold a candle to Craigie on Main, but then, I can guarandamntee you they won't run out of burgers 30 minutes after opening.

Delicious burgers! I've had some better but I really enjoyed the ones I've had there. I've had the Kahuna Burger and the BBQ Onion Burger. I personally liked the BBQ Onion better but both were great burgers. I LOVE their onion rings, nice amount of onion to batter. The onions were very thin which I enjoyed. I also enjoyed the fries, they were nice and crispy as a fry should be. I also got the green monster shake which was a solid milkshake. All in all they have a nice variety of tasty food for a reasonable price!

I drool over Tasty Burger. I'm normally not a huge burger eater, but I will always have room for Tasty Burger. It's cheap and delicious. I have only tried their burgers, fries and onion rings there. The burger is always cook perfectly and its flavor is always juicy and tasty. I always get the spicy jalepeno cheeseburger with spicy cheese on the side. That way I can dip my fries and onion rings. The fries and onion rings are to die for and the best thing you can do is actually put the onion rings in your burger. They have a huge beer selection. The location is prime because its right at Fenway. I love it because you can get it before or after a Redsox Game. I would definitely try this place if you never been. One last thing, last time the manager of the location was so generous and nice and had some Polka Dog/Tasty Burger dog treats. He gave me a bunch to bring home to my dog and my dog (the one in my profile picture) loved every bite. Thank you! From both me and and my dog Butters.

My friends and I did visit this place prior to a RED SOX game(yesterday). It was the worst mistake we made. We've been here numerous time and we all agree this place has gone down hill. Since dining in would take longer, we decided to eat thru takeout. WRONG, not any faster. We waited 25 minutes just to order and another 30 minutes just to get the food. We used to love this place but things have gone terribly wrong since it's first year. Burgers have gotten smaller, pitcher prices have increased, service isn't as efficient as it was, plus the overhype of the reviews for the new diners. No thanks for us (7 people), there are alternatives during a RS game. Tasty's has become a joke.

I go here for lunch when I want to feed my craving for a greasy burger that's good. I almost always get the turkey burger which I would give a 6.5 out of 10. The onion strings are also surprisingly good. The french fries could be a little better but they'll satisfy a craving. The customer service is good, friendly and efficient.

Overall it has good food, but not good service. It was Game 6 of the 2013 World Series. After just arriving in Fenway I made my way to Tasty Burger before heading to a sports bar and ultimately back to my friend's apartment to watch the game. We were in the take-out line and I ordered the opposite of my girlfriend: The Deep Fried Burger with 50/50 fries/onion rings. Orders are huge and a deep-fried burger is not nearly as good as a grilled variety. It loses a lot of its beefy flavor, especially for being cooked in oil. My girlfriend's burger salad looked more appetizing. Next time I'll order something a bit more ordinary. the 50/50 orders are split with half fries and half onion rings, but actually double the order size! The onion rings are actually thinly sliced and not juicy like that ones i'm used to. The thinness of the onion made it super greasy and made its way onto the fries. It's great if you've been drinking, but I wasn't impressed. Overall I enjoyed my first meal in Boston, but was disappointed when they covered up the windows of the restaurant indoors so no one outside could watch the game... even if they were eating their take-out orders. How lame is that?! I can't believe they wouldn't share such a memorable game with their outdoor customers. Oh well. It's still a good burger joint.

Fast, good burgers that are way better than McDonald's, Burger King, etc. Great for those 1am munchies or if you need cheap food in the Fenway area.

Meredith M.

I can see why this place is so popular! Reasonably priced, better than fast food but still a greasy treat. I wasn't in love with the turkey burger but the fries and onion rings were awesome. Next time I'll go for the real deal burger as everyone else seemed really into theirs. Bonus points for accomodating a big order and labeling everything properly.

Tasty burger always has a pretty solid burger and fries especially compared to the other fast food joints in the area. My biggest complaint is this is the slowest burger place I've ever been to (from actually getting to place your order to the time you have to wait after placing the order). They need to get a second register so that the person working the window is not also answering and taking phone orders. Maybe more help or another grill would speed this slow food joint up.

Cyndie B.

What can i say....I LOVED IT! I had a turkey burger that was juicy and delicious. Often turkey burgers are dry and tasteless (because so little fat) but NOT AT TASTY BURGER. They employees are fast and friendly and I would drive from Waltham anytime to get a Tasty Burger again. For those of you who are vegetarian, they also have veggie burgers which I will try next time since I limit my intake of animal protein. They also have dairy and gluten free rolls. Go now!

No doubt--the food is good and the service is brisk. Although I understand Econ 101, I am always surprised when a place like this can't have an updated menu. Our waitress kept wondering out loud why they haven't updated their menu as we tried to order things they don't have anymore (Creamsicle shake, Cheerwine). It's a disappointment when we have to change the order while ordering.

Mary C.

I'm giving this a 3 star because I ate a friend's Tasty Burger and it was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately, when I went to try it on my own the next night, even though my friend and I were the last 2 people in line, the manager chose to cut off the line before us saying "we have to cut this off somewhere". Working in the hospitality industry myself, it only seems that the obvious place to cut the line off would have been AT THE END rather than 2 people before the end. Rude, rude, rude.

STAFF... Super friendly and take special requests! FOOD... Customize any burger on the menu... yes, you CAN have it your way...*smile*. THE DEAL: It's fast food, but it's still TASTY.

The waiter here was a complete jerk. I walked in with my friend arm in arm due to the slushy weather---both the waiter and manager refused to serve me a drink because they claimed us to be "too drunk" even though we had one beer each and were looking for a final meal--TERRIBLE SERVICE!! We left---DO NOT go here if you've had more than one beer elsewhere---they are unreasonable and rude---go to citizens across the road!!!

Bela S.

This place is legit. I "made up" an order and they got it right (unlike the Cambridge location); two turkey patties as a lettuce wrap, guacamole, sautÃ©ed onions and mushrooms, no sauce. They also have cheerwine; this is the only restaurant I have ever seen that sells the stuff. Only other place I have ever found it was at BevMo (a West coast beverage chain store). Food came out quick, hot, and delicious. No complaints here! Awesome location. And PARKING too!

We always make it a requirement to go to Tasty Burger right after we play a show at House of Blues. This burger gives In N Out a run for their money. I had the Butta Burger and Chocolate Shake. The shake had such a unique taste. I could have had 10 of them. Great vibe, always poppin. If you don't love this place, you're fucked in the head!!!

Guillermo M.

We ordered the Tasty Burger and didn't disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful and had a unique sauce. High quality ingredients and the meat was really good. My new go to place for hamburgers. Excellent service and my only critique is that they should put umbrellas in the take out area.

Teresa S.

Had to try this place out during their prime hour (before a redsox game) it was PACKED. We ordered 2 tasty burgers, fries, and a drink. Came to $15 and change, not too bad. Waited about 15 minutes for them which also isn't too bad considering there were so many baseball fans there prior to the game. Their burgers remind me of IN and OUT burger and their fries taste similar. I definitely recommend this place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I really want to try out their milkshakes next time! Can't wait to return.

Matt C.

Extremely long wait for food. Wouldn't have been a big deal but we were not forewarned it would take so long and were headed to a concert. Asked to speak to the manager who promptly entered the kitchen and got things moving. Got food shortly after plus he also made up for the inconvenience with a round of beers...well played sir. Cheers ~ Matt

It took us a while to get service once seated. Granted, on a Sat night they're busy with drunk college students around, but if you're seated, you should at least get some menus. The burger was good. If it wasn't for the poor service, I'd give 4 stars. Just what you need for a late night out. The poor college student deal is a pretty sweet deal if you show i.d. With a burger, fries, beer for around$10.

Below average. This place used to be better. The burgers were put together very sloppy. It was gross to eat something that looked like that. We ordered the hubba burger and the kahuna burger, both were a sloppy mess with the sauces in the wrapper making the buns soggy! They need to analyze the quality of the food that coming out of the kitchen! They said the burger was going to be cooked medium and it was well done! The service was so slow. Very very understaffed. The bathrooms were also not the cleanest. They have hand sanitizer by the door? This is just wrong what happened to good old soap/water. Are their employees not washing their hand properly?!? Think twice! This place is overrated and we will probably not go back!

Great late night burger spot. Skinny fries had the right amount of salt and were crispy. Ordered the hotdog to go with my burger because I was drunk and the bite I had was great, really good flavor but then my wife called me a fat ass and shamed me into throwing it away.

Ate here before the Red Sox game and enjoyed myself and the atmosphere. Good: -BBQ Onion Burger (really good) -Gorgonzola Burger (it was OK) -The Big Tasty (solid choice) -Walking distance of Gate D at Fenway Park -A lot of beers to choose from -If it gets crowded, go for the takeout window Bad: -spicy cheese sauce was plopped on the fries, nothing to write home about -can get crowed and tight

I love this place! The service was awesome and the starvin student special is such a steal! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a glass of Pinot, all for $11! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a cozy, welcoming place with delicious food and wonderful service.

Susie D.

It was decent if you are into that kind of food, but come on, no wheat buns or wheat bread choices? Even Quiznos and subway have great wheat buns, and the new trendsetters like b.good have only wheat. White bread is not good for you unless you like being constipated and getting no vitamins or nutrients. It's like 1970s as far as the bread. No other choices but bland white buns. Not even wheat pita for their burger salads.

Remi M.

Love the jalapeno burger. Love the fries. Love the concept. But don't, don't order via telephone for pickup. I placed an order at 1150 over the phone for my coworkers and I. four burgers. Three orders of small fries. One coke. Got there at 12:15. Waited over fifty minutes. The girl at the window kept apologizing to me but it was so bizarre, tons of people got their food before I did and I ordered in advance. I won't be doing that again.
(2)
Viren V.

They have good burgers, but the service sucks. And by that I mean if is truly terrible. They won't take take out orders by phone after midnight even when there's no line. To whatever dimwit manager who came up with that rule - everyone who would be ordering from you all is just going to eat somewhere else instead.

Excellent quality burgers for when you're drunk, yet not drunk enough to succumb to McDonalds/other comparable fast food joints. Open late. It's truly a man amongst boys.

Get yourself to Tasty Burger and get there fast. They make a double bacon cheeseburger to rival some of the best I've ever had. I always have fun here in the summer eating on picnic tables, listening to the roar at Fenway Park up the street. Some of the other food highlights for me include the strawberry shakes and, their french fries. A word to the wise: their veggie burger is in fact vegan! This has solved many of the late night food issues I sometimes experience with my vegan companions- particularly when we are in the Harvard Square area.

Victoria P.

Cheerwine in a glass bottle?? YES. I'm from the south so finding a place that has Cheerwine completely made my life. Not only is this a huge reason to go, but the burgers are delicious! I had the tasty burger and my boyfriend had the spicy jalapeno burger - both were really good. You should also get the 50/50 - the combination of rings and fries just makes life better. It also helps that they have a pool table that is FREE. Will definitely be back here.

Marion M.

Saw it on the way to Fenway park from our hotel and decided to check it out for dinner. We ordered the tasty burger, the hotdog all in, gorgonzola burger and onion rings. Everything tasted great! They have a nice selection of beers but we didn't order any. Prices are pretty great, not too packed today, Sunday, not a game day, which is perfect. Only thing was the music was a little weird, they were playing old school, slow, romantic songs, a little off for a more sporty venue, but not sure if there was a dukebox people were picking the songs from

Yum! Although air conditioning would be a VERY welcome addition on a hot day, Tasty Burger lives up to its name. The space is casual and fun, with a pool table in one corner (I believe it's free to use!), and a menu with delicious burger and hot dog options. The food is messy, there is no doubting that. A friend of mine tried one of their dogs and eventually ended up using utensils to tackle it (is that wrong?). My chili and cheese smothered burger was also quite messy, but juicy and delicious. All burgers are cooked medium (thank you for having the dignity to not overcook your meat), and they are made to satisfy. I also really enjoyed their take on onion rings, which are sliced paper thin with a light, crisp coating (no heavy batter here). I would very happily trek over to Tasty Burger for future guilty cravings. The burgers and beer definitely hit the spot. In the summertime, the ceiling fans barely make a difference to the heat, especially if you are sitting in the back room where our large party was seated, but otherwise it's a great space and I'd be happy to return.

Sweet, sweet Tasty Burger! our sanctuary and refuge at the end of a long night out dancing/crawling through Boston's clubs. The place was packed around 1:30-2AM, but we got seated without too much of a wait, and the food came out quickly. I had the veggie burger, which was really fantastic--fries and onion rings were also praiseworthy. The burger's texture was surprisingly good for a veggie burger, and with siracha it was exactly what I thought I needed in my drunchies-craving state. Pricing was very fair and affordable, and the wait staff were good sports despite the hordes of barflies straggling in.

I don't even care what people say- this was the best, most fun, most delicious sacrifice we ever made. Game was cancelled so we went a hunting for a place to eat. I wanted a bar, and sacrificed what I wanted since the boys wanted a burger. I was blown away! The beer selection was amazing! The burger selection was AMAZING. The prices were LESS than Wendy's. I couldn't even freakin believe it. I had the veggie burger w/ ff. Mr. H got the bacon Burger. we both were in instant love and plan on driving there from way down here just for a burger on our vacation.

I give it a zero. They only get 1 star because I have to. Worst experience ever. Poor service. Did not get order correct. Service was not friendly. It was pouring rain and they would not let us sit inside because we ordered outside. They gave us a bag that broke after walking for about 1 minute and our food fell to the ground. My hamburger then had a hair in it. Will not be back again and do not recommend anyone to go here.

I used to give tasty burger four stars but their quality and really everything has gone downhill lately. I do like the kahuna burger though or just add that pineapple to any of the burgers and it's a pretty awesome idea

Dear Lord, I'm all in for more of these. I visit boston regularly and finally got to see and eat at this place. What a sight for tired eyes! The decor, people and prices are awesome. Oh yeah and the burger is phenomenal. It completely melted in my mouth in a delicious river of Yes. We went on Saturday and I have been thinking about it since then. Absolutely cannot wait to go back.

So I came here with this guy Nick. We showed up after an electro show at the house of blues. Honestly the house of blues was not fun at all. The music sucked. Skrillex sucked. I met nick at the end of the show and he acksed me if I'd like some tasty burger... I came with him and he turned out to be sketchier than nick cagefightings note pad. The food was great but I give the experience 3 stars

I had my first burger from TB (that's an unfortunate nickname) when I was nearly blackout drunk. Even in my compromised state, however, I could tell that TB's burgers are WAY too greasy. Too greasy for a regular meal, that is, not a night of drunken excess. I should probably thank TB, in fact, for saving me from a killer hangover the next day. Thank you, TB. Kidding aside, I've been back a couple times for trivia (which is a fun, affordable time), and had slightly less greasy affairs. Perhaps they give their burgers a little more TLC when they're not being swarmed by beer-fueled zombies at 2am? Next time I close out Machine down the street, I'll let you know.

I went here before a Red Sox game and I was seated right away. We ordered two Starvin' Students. For $10 you get a cheeseburger, fries, and a beer. Wow. I also liked the artwork (a la Pulp Fiction), and the expansive beer menu. In fact, I decided I liked this place before I even saw the burger. I just so happens that the burger was very good, and I loved the cheese. Shoestring Fries, while not my favorite, were cooked perfectly. The burger comes with a special wrapper to keep everything in place. How can people not be a fan of this place?

This is my all-time favorite burger place in Boston. Oldschool fast-food style burgers. The Big Tasty is an easy sell, with secret sauce and the works. I also love the chili and cheese burger -- holy crap. I've been known to embarrass my friends when I order a second burger. Beer list is extensive, drinks are cheap. There's even a "starvin' student" deal for those that still have their youth. $10 for a hamburger or cheeseburger, can of beer & fries.

Great burger comfort food and delicious. The onion rings are thin and tasty and the chicken nuggets are home made and awesome. Lots of flavor.

I came to Tasty Burger after work on a Friday before a Sox game. We had a rather large group--started with just 5, but our group to 12+. We were seated in the back near the pool table, and as our group grew, the waiter would bring us more chairs. Eventually we took over the whole back nook. I was starving when I arrived, so I ordered a turkey mushroom burger + the chips and hummus/guac. The hummus and guac were average. The chips were sub-average. Honestly, they didn't taste all that fresh and I pushed them aside so that I wouldn't mindlessly eat the rest plain. The highlight of my meal was the AMAZING BURGER. When you order, they don't ask how you want it done. You don't do that here. Please, please don't ask for your burger to be well done. No. Just don't. Trust them to serve you a delicious, moist burger. They bring it fast. It is wrapped up in what I assume is their version of how In&Out wraps their burgers. I can say that this was probably the best burger I've had in the Boston area. I'm ashamed to say that because this is technically a fast food joint, but DAMN. I was really really blown away by how delicious it was, and I scarfed it right down. The girl next to me go the nachos, and they were served over the same chips I got with hummus/guac. I had a few of her remaining chips.... meh. Again, the highlight here is obviously the BURGERS. The nachos used that super fake tasting cheese sauce, and overall wasn't impressive. As more people joined our group, the waiter took individual orders and meals were delivered with lightening speed. Some people ordered second and third items, and everything was brought correctly. We ordered pitchers of Miller light, and those of us who got there early received icy cold beer mugs. Late arrivals just got plastic cups. I'd definitely come back here if I'm craving a burger, but am more likely to return to the Harvard Square venue since it's closer to home. YUM. (But really, stick to the burgers and beer.)

What a great burger place. I always like to grab a nice burger before a red sox, the big kahuna burger is the best. There onion rings are also the best some of the biggest I've seen.

Great Burger joint. Cool art work inside, free pool, juke box. Burgers are top notch greasy delicacies, bunch of different burgers with cool names, amazing milk shakes (get the green monster). All around great little burger place in the Fenway that serves beer all for a good price. Gets busy when the Sox are in town but otherwise...make this your last stop on the way home after a night of drinking.

I moved out here from the west coast and I have been looking for a good burger joint in Boston, which seems to be the one thing they lack. However this place did pretty well. The burgers are delicious and super cheap I had the chili burger, it was very good and was only about $5. Granted the burgers are fairly small, like one patty but you can add patties for 50cents I think. I wasn't that impress with the shake, I had their mint chocolate chips one & it had about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in it. Place is usually pretty crowded, you will most like be squeezed right next to someone as the tables are very close. It's more like a bar environment rather than a restaurant very loud and rowdy but the staff is super nice. I had a good time overall.

When Tasty Burger was first described to me, I simply thought it was just going to be like dining at Five Guys, except there is beer. However... I was so incredibly surprised how amazing this place is! First, the bad: there is beer, but not too crazy of a selection. And only one cider. And it comes in a can. Sigh... OK, now the good... and there is a lot of good here! The most shocking and pleasing thing besides the food was the off-street parking. I repeat: FREE OFF-STREET PARKING. In Fenway, that is absolutely unheard of! We parked at a meter, figuring that was our only option, and as we approached and saw the nearly-empty lot, we were noticeably shocked. Next, the food. I ordered my gorgonzola burger with bacon bun-less, fearful that I'd be kicked out for doing so; however, if you are anti-grains or gluten-free, they're 100% cool with it and call it a "wrap". Another awesome thing about the burger is that they're not scared of making it pink in the middle. Though I like medium-rare burgers, having a fast-food-esque burger made medium is close enough and MUCH better than the well-done hockey pucks at other joints. I was hesitant to order cheese fries because I figured they would be the usual flash-frozen fries with the neon orange goop pumped on top. However, I was shocked to see that the cheese sauce they use definitely has a roux base - that means MADE FROM SCRATCH, folks! (If I'm wrong about this, I'll kiss the person that proves me wrong. I'm THAT certain.) The other folks in our group ordered the 50/50 fries and onion rings. I am not a huge onion fan and dislike most onion rings, but Tasty Burgers' are more like thin, crispy, heavenly onion straws... and they're amazing. Just based on the food and beer, Tasty Burger is a four-star place; but with off-street parking, it just put the whole experience over the top. WOO-HOO AS GOOD AS IT GETS, indeed!

Came here before a Red Sox game. Ideal location along with great prices. If you are drinking beers, I suggest you get a pitcher. I had the Big Tasty. Everything else sounded so delicious but I just wanted to try the simplest one since I keep hearing people compare it to Shake Shack. The bun was nice and soft and the meat was cooked perfectly (medium). The tasty sauce was yummy. Also got a side of the chili cheese fries with the spicy cheese sauce. The chili overpowered the cheese so I didn't really taste the spiciness of it. Will definitely be back.

Delicious raspberry lime rickeys, and I was impressed with the atmosphere- it wasn't at all what I pictured, which was a place you'd just grab a burger and then get out- it has enough of an atmosphere to make you want to stay and hang out. I was disappointed in the food though- very mediocre, especially the burger. And while I love that they have pitchers, we actually had trouble deciding what to order because it's a pretty limited selection (and we're all beer drinkers...). Our server was terrible and came by our table approximately once an hour even though when we initially got there there was pretty much no one else there. One big plus to me is that this is not the kind of place they're going to fill with 200 extra people standing around so no one can move like at most bars by Fenway- makes it far more likely that I'll choose to hang out here, where I can grab a table and some pitchers with friends and still have room to breathe! Prices are very reasonable, and I'll probably come back and hang out outside sometime this summer (and try a shake!).

An adult beverage with my burger? Yes, please! I recommend the Big Tasty. Perfect sized burgers, great upbeat atmosphere, and even a takeout window. An adult place to chill with a burger!

yum! excellent spot for a quick burger and fries but that isn't necessarily fast food. we stopped by tasty burger on the way home last night, and it was an amazing late night food choice. we chose the big tasty and a side of fries, which comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and tasty sauce. my friend also ordered 2 cheeseburgers. when we opened the bag to split up the food, we noticed that there were only 2 burgers in there. i ran up to the window, and the server was really nice about it and quickly gave me the missing burger. as soon as we got home we dove right in. the fries were thin, crispy, and salty, exactly what i was hoping for. not a single one was soggy. the burger was really juicy, but that might have been helped along by the sauce. overall it was pretty good, although a bit overly salty. the bun was simple, slightly puffy and on the thinner side, but it complemented the patty size and toppings very well.

Susan W.

I don't know if this is God's message to me to not eat here. This review is in no way regarded to the burger, maybe not even the service. The burgers and fries still taste wonderful. But on the last two times I have visited, our order was mysteriously forgotten. Both times our order did not come in until everyone who came after us have finished and left for good. Seems like two isolated incident on a row... I honestly don't know what's happening.

I would have given this place 4 stars, but I am not a fan of people putting bad things on the menu followed by the argument "that's not our specialty." If it's on your menu, you should be proud of it. This is the case with their loaded chips (nachos, as I would call them). They're pretty terrible - cheese sauce instead of the cheese that is stated in the menu, none of the bacon that is also stated in the menu, and a lousy, sweet, probably canned chili. Okay. Nachos are not their specialty. Tasty Burger made that clear Their burgers are really tasty, though, and quite affordable. They are traditional American style - flat, griddle cooked and not the big, 1/2 lb gourmet types. Fries are decent. I love the Sriracha bottle on each table. Onion rings and onion straws are two different things. They are not interchangeable. Tasty Burger serves onion straws with a powdery coating. Not very good, and quite disappointing...especially if you're expecting big, golden onion rings. Overall, good burgers and fries. Stick to that and you'll be okay

The food here is always delicious, and the people who work here are friendly and professional! I'm having the veggie burger right now, and after I took the first bite, I had to write a Yelp review about how good it is! I'm allergic to wheat, and it's difficult to find a veggie burger that doesn't contain wheat (and that tastes good), but this one is vegetarian (possibly vegan), wheatless, and contains actual vegetables that you can identify (corn, peppers, etc.), and it's delicious! I also really like the chopped lettuce, cucumber, and onion that goes on top (also comes with tomatoes and pickles, but I didn't want them this time). I only wish they still carried the gluten-free blondies, brownies, and cookies they used to serve!

Having been here weekly or even more since it opened. Nice casual place. Decent burgers with numerous types/toppings option. Like the fact that u can double up and make any burger a double. Fries are okay, onion rings are the thin kind, best option is go for 50/50 and share. Limited beer menu which they have expanded. Nachos are super large serving so be careful and order for decent sized groups. Amazing shakes, the green monster takes the crown. Burgers cooked more towards the rare side (rare-medium) always so keep in mind if ordering to your own choice. Outdoor picnic style tables to sit and enjoy. Can call in and place order in advance. Open till 2am which gives it boost in ratings. Which is especially nice since if u live in the area and are walking back the kitchen smoke (visible from all around) with its meaty, grilly whiffs will make u hungry again and draw u towards the place. They have jukebox and pool table (not that good, banged up in certain spots) but with good food and company one doesn't mind that. Plus the pools free. All in all a decent burger joint with quick, great service.

ok.. This place is now on my "I might not return" list. Walk in, girl hostess/waitress was right there saying hello.. so far so good. Enter dick.. I am sorry, Richard (NOT his name) bartender. He doesn't say Jack to us, throws two menus on the bar in front of us and turns and watches the Red Sox. Comes back, and stares like I should jump at ordering. I asked for my two beers and a basket of onion rings. He's such a dick, I mean Richard.... AmerAsian waitress... think you can text anymore while on the clock? Think you can hide around the corner and text like people (me and wife) sitting at the bar can't see you ignoring your tables and texting! All night long. This place is just like it used to be for food which I like but the staff is a "D" or a "F" in my book. With all the competition in the area I will be hard pressed to return to this "customer comes second" location.

I can assure you, that "All the Way Shaft" that is pictured so often, above - Yes, it is as good as it gets. Hoo-boy. Yes, that was delicious. Scratch one off of the bucket list. I was lucky to get a bite of a "normal" burger, as I looked up and my date's bacon cheeseburger was almost gone. "OMG this is SO good!" she said, between bites, with a sheepish, half-embarrassed grin on her face. The ambiance really works, too. The art on the wall, the mostly classic-rock playing on the juke, and a pool table. And they have a bar. How perfect. Maybe this isn't a perfect burger, but it's close, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Easily 5 stars.

Can I get a burger, though? Oh, you have like a lot of them, okay, give me a minute. No wait, stop, dont go, Ill have the burger. The one in which the meat will be fried. Yeah, that one. Anything else? Um, no, I'm good, I think (quickly scanning menu). Oh, wait, do you have fries ...chili cheese fries ?Thanks. Also, throw in a soda water. Oooooooookay. (I look to my friend) Wanna split a hot dog, too? ...though? Uh... we will take a hot dog as well, okay, thank you. I forced myself to eat as much as I could. My friends really enjoyed everything as well. Also, the service was quitty, quick and witty. The food came out fast and hot. I think I am coming back here soon. I dont know why I did yoga as soon as I got home, was it the fetal position that was taking over my body? The guilt of a fried burger? Definitely running some miles today, though, but it was worth it.

Cheap food but good quality. That's pretty hard to come by. You can get a nice burger and a good amount of fries for less than $6. That's not bad at all if I do say so myself. There are several of these around so you shouldn't have issues finding one.

Why Tasty Burger is a solid 4 stars... Love love love the cheese fries and the burgers! Love the $20 pitchers of good beer. Like the service. But I'll keep going back and maybe the 'like' service will become love and I can review with 5 stars!

Didn't know what to expect when I saw the place was called Tasty burger, looking to eat a hot dog. Great little place to hang out, plenty of parking space. I was impressed by the "All the way" hot dog. Literally a $12 hot dog that's a foot long. I love places that offer challenges and this place gives you an hour to eat 3 of these bad boys. If you like bacon, burgers and hot dogs, this is the place to go

Great location in Boston. Green monster milkshake (mint chocolate chip ice cream) is great. I had the gorgonzola burger, very juicy and flavorful. They don't seem to let you choose how to cook the burgers so mine was a little on the pink side. The fries where good and deff did not seem frozen but showed up semi warm. I could have sent it back but eh. They have a very solid beer list for a burger joint. Would love to try a few different things on the menu in the future. The location we went to was the Fenway location, which was a used car garage with the big pull down bay doors.

Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger! This place is honestly amazing. What more could you ask for? Tasty burgers, and tasty beverages to wash em' down... The prices here are very reasonable. Good selection of beer, a pool table, and... they have flatscreens at the bar (Yes, I know this is normal for a bar) and when I had my visit here, they had a diverse selection for your viewing pleasure... Sunday Night Football, The Lion King, and Lego Star Wars...too good. The lady bartender was extremely nice. I did however feel bad for the gentleman who was trying their local challenge which consists of eating (3) Colossal All-The-Way Dogs within an hour... Doesn't sound too crazy but, if you saw one of these things or read the description below, you'll prolly crap your pants. THIS - All-The-Way Dog = 1/2 lb. Hot Dog, Cheeseburger cut in half and placed on the bun, Chili, Cheese Sauce and Bacon. All Served on a Sub Roll. All in all this place is fucking awesome and everyone and their monkey's uncle should check it out! Shazam! P.S. Some parts of this review are probably copy write protected e.g. Pulp Fiction rips,Tasty Burger Menu descriptions, Shaquille O' Neil Movie Title slash 70's DC Comic television program title... Let it be known, I own nunnavet!

This place is great! And this is from someone who doesn't typically frequent burger joints! I've only been here once (so can't speak extensively about the menu's offerings) but would definitely return. While glancing at the menu, I happened to notice the 'Zum Zum' frank, which was topped with sauerkraut, grain mustard, and celery salt and was immediately sold. Sauerkraut is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE FOODS and grain mustard just "seemed like something I would order" (in the words of my girlfriend). And let me just say, this frank did not disappoint! The actual sausage tasted fresh and like it actually contained real meat (a rare find, indeed!) and the sauerkraut was just the right amounts sour, bitter, moist, and flavorful. The grain mustard and celery salt only added to the already decadent flavor and paired well with modest amounts of ketchup and sweet relish. While the meal itself was reasonably filling, the sheer........tastiness of the frank left me craving more and will soon return, I am certain. I'd love to try other offerings from their menu, as I've heard both the chili dog and 'All the Way' dog are likewise delicious, but I'm honestly not sure I could pass up another 'Zum Zum'. Maybe I'll go back for dinner sometime so I can order multiple franks.

Came in to meet friends before a Yankees/Sox game. We love the burgers. There was a long wait stretching out to boylston and the staff was incredibly calm. The manager made a spot for us at the bar and helped us get on the list. Our friends ended up not showing up in time, but he managed to find us a table. He also printed out our tickets that our friends were bringing. Thank you for turning a bad experience into a good night!!

I love BURGERS. Juicy, meaty, tasty, ketchupy, good meat to bun ratio. Tasty Burger reminds me of a burger shack and well, that is precisely what it is. Fenway Park is in the back and a little parking lot is in the front. We had a cheap meal for under 15 bucks (burger, fries, soda) and I was full. I didn't love it though, I am spolied because my heart belongs to Flat Patties for their amazing little burgers. I also am spoiled because my high end burger at Garden at the Cellar is basically my best friend. Tasty Burger was not bad, but not awesome. Three stars, A-OK and that is not a bad rating. Would I go back? Perhaps. But, I'll stick with my other beloved burger places instead.

Stopped in last night after a show at the Sinclair, it was 1:30 am and busy. Gabriel got us seated quickly and our server got our order and delivered our food in a flash. The food was freshly made and as always wonderful. You expect service to be good, the order to be right and the food to be delicious when you go out to eat, but to have all three at that hour of the morning when the place is full shows that they are doing something right.

+1 - Open at 1am after arriving on a late night flight to Boston. +1 - Close to Fenway, quickly made, interesting menu items. The fries are probably the worst I have ever had. 'Deep Fried Oil' is what my friends and I called them. The burger also was smal

Ethel G.

I thought this place was OK, but came the day after enjoying another Boston burger eatery I thought was better. Didnt care for the fries which were really soft. They do well late night apparently because it was extremely busy. If youre thinking this place vs. fast food, I'd recommend this place but beyond that I wouldnt get too excited.

We found ourselves making the queue at Tasty Burger around 2:10am. Sit-down service had already closed and we were informed to make the line outside. We waited patiently, although worried that the place would close and our hunger would get the best of us. After 15-20 minutes, we finally ordered. Two tasty burgers with 1 fry. Waited some more and our order was ready. I don't know where everyone went, but after receiving our order, I noticed everyone was gone. I guess cold weather and late-outdoor-dining is not a good idea? No matter, it did not stop us from munching down this beefy-goodness. Burger was juicy, very flavorful. Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just perfect. As others mention, "good to the last bite" and totally worth waiting in the excruciating cold. We will definitely return on future trips to BOS.

I really had no clue that Burger joints still existed in the conservativeness that is Boston, but thanks to the awesomeness that is Yelp, my boyfriend and I were able to satisfy our craving for late night munchies!! We came here on a Thursday night at around 1:25am and didnt really expect much, but once we walked in I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was still super packed and they had a beer/wine selection! McDonald's? I think not! After a thorough look through the slightly extensive menu and being conflicted with the calorie intake (promise I'm not shallow!) I Decided to try out the veggie burger. OH MY GOODNESS. The perfect blend of mushrooms scallions onions and tofu will make any carnivore without a second thought ! I didn't want the bliss to end! My babe ordered a classic American Burger with a side of fries which he said was delicious. We recieclved our $12 check and left with a gut full of yummyness and a smile on our faces! Can't wait to get the late night hungry horrors again!

Gorgonzola with Bacon, Fries, and a Coke.... GOODNIGHT! They have the best burgers in the 'hood. Cooked and seasoned right, won't go anywhere else for a burger in the Fenway. I always want to come in and buy a shirt but I always get distracted by the smell of delicious burgers. Question though... its called the Gorgonzola but the menu says, 'Bleu Cheese', what is it really? Also, can this place get a customer loyalty/rewards program? I mean its time to corner the Fenway burger game. Keep on doing what you're doing, we love it!

i actually went inside the restaurant last night, and i'm totally a fan. their student special is fantastic -- a hamburger/cheeseburger, a ton of fries, and bud/bud light for only $10? yes please. i love that they also let me sub any of their hamburgers with a veggie patty. their patty was definitely not your run-of-the-mill gardenburger. thumbs up, tasty burger.

Linda C.

Don't come here if you're hungry. The burgers are so small and leave you wanting MORE....more of something filling. Even if you ordered three burgers and a fry, you'll still be hungry. Plus, these patties are similar to a McDonald's value meal burger. Save the money and time and go to Boston Burger Co, Five Guys or even Wendy's instead. Sad to say, any of those burgers are better.

Harry H.

With no other viable options late on a weeknight, we opted for Tasty Burger - got the 50/50 and a creamsicle shake (which was carbonated, which is understandable but not traditional in my experience) plus an all the way for $22. Nothing impressed but nothing was egregiously disappointing. Alright in a pinch - eat outside at the tables on a nice night.

I do love me a good turkey burger, and this place delivers a fresh, juicy, charcoal-y patty topped with whatever you want (beware, it's filled with fennel seeds, so if you don't like that flavor you won't like this turkey burger). I chose poorly and went with the Budda burger, meaning it was topped with butter, and it was just way too buttery and greasy for me, not to mention it had onions on it even though it wasn't listed on the menu (and no lettuce/tomato). But the rest of my crowd was happy with their own burger toppings, so I think I just need to pick something else next time. (Note: a simple turkey burger with cheese on a return visit was excellent.) I split the 50/50 (fries and rings) with 1 other person, although the basket was huge and probably could have fed 3-4 people. The fries were standard and unmemorable, but I really liked the onions, they were really thin and crispy. I got a raspberry-lime rickey which was tasty. Also, their black and white frappes are delicious, highly recommended. The server forgot our side of ranch dressing, but it's a really casual restaurant (i.e. plastic and paper) and more of a take-out type place IMO, so that can be forgiven. Food came out fast and fresh, and there are a myriad of dipping sauces and condiments on each table. Prices are a little high and things add up... a single burger is $5.50, rickey is $2.50, and 50/50 is $4, so it's definitely no McD's. But much cheaper than any sit-down place.

Fantastic value, kitsch decor, and friendly waitstaff make this an excellent value. I miss In n Out on the west coast, and though this place is not a drive-thru, it has dang good burgers, fries, and shoestring onion rings that definitely satisfy my cravings. I haven't tried the hot dogs yet because I've decided to try a different burger every time I've gone. If you are in the mood for a meal that will not disappoint you or your tight wallet, this place is a fantastic choice. The pool table in back can create a fun atmosphere with friends, and the beer menu is surprisingly varied for such a small place. I'm looking forward to eating outside here when it gets warmer.

Collette M.

Went with my sister for my first meal in Boston. It was a nice place, though the music was annoyingly loud for the 10 people having dinner. I ordered an original hamburger while my sister had the Tasty burger. They came out quickly and we both shared the fries. Believe me that was more than enough fries for the both of us. I also had a chocolate shake but to be honest did not think it was worth the $4 for neither the size nor the quality. Overall an okay experience.

Jeff W.

Been here a couple time. (first time I've eaten here) I enjoyed it. Place was packed, but comfortable considering the Sox were playing and Fenway is less than a block away. The food is inexpensive, $6 for a bacon cheeseburger with an extra $2 for fries. For that you get a burger that's much higher end than you'll get at most fast food places. They're on a par with 5 guys but they serve beer, which I think clearly makes them better. Beer selections descent with a solid selection of draughts and your typical "cheap options". A pounder oh High Life runs $4, which I think is a bit steep but that's my only complaint. So yeah, I'd call myself a fan. Check it out, do it! Also they have a mural of Jules eating his "tasty burger" hanging on the wall.

Todd T.

Got the starvin' student here the other day for $10. The burger was very good, kind of like Fuddrucker's, but better. The fries were just alright. The beer on tap that I wanted was out so I had Miller (wasn't too happy about that). For the price it's unbeatable. It's cheaper than Five Guy's and much better... although I don't know if there' s a FIve Guys anywhere near there. It was a good burger for not too much. I would definitely recommend it. The waiter was nice, the place was kind of crowded and small. I don't remember what night it was, but they were having a quiz night which I thought was really cool.

Even though it was cold and windy while i waited outside, i was totally psyched by the takeout window, and wished i had gone here when the weather was warmer. Nevertheless, i totally dug the walk-up ordering and the fact that i only live three blocks away from a place to get awesome hamburgers ('cause UBurger was such a haul, he complains overdramatically). The hamburgers are very evidently put together for real and not frozen or anything, and come out pretty much ideally. They're not too badly served by transport home, and the accoutrements (i had bacon, of course) are solid. While i debated doubling it up, i was well and truly sated by a single-decker. Part of this is due to the massive pile of onion strings, which i picture them overfilling and then kinda dropping in the bag, at which point it's kinda like an onion-string bomb goes off deliciously. These things are perfectly fried, sweet and salty at the same time. So damn good. It's places like this that are totally going to cause me to be priced out of my apartment.

Pricey, but delicious burgers. We ordered outside and discovered there was a interior dining area. The burgers tasted great and the atmosphere/decor was really comfortable. Knocked off one star because we saw several staff eating and handling orders at the same time. Isn't that a safety\y code violation?

Big and tasty. Fries. Nuggets. Chips. Guacamole. Hummus. Starving after that 17 inning Red Sox game and the food could not have been better. Ordered way too much for 2 people. The burger was fresh and cooked well-done - perfect. The nuggets were real chicken. The chips were warm and the guacamole and hummus was very fresh if not home made. A little loud in there, but great food, prepared right and arrived quickly. Can't remember the final bill, but considering this place is right near Fenway Park, I was very surprised at how inexpensive it was. I will be back.

After taking a tour of Fenway Park & seeing concession signs screaming, "Hot dogs! Burgers! Popcorn!", the BF & I knew we had to go eat some burgers. Luckily, I read about Tasty Burger before, which is literally right next to Fenway Park. I thought it was strange that a fast food joint had a "sit-in waiter service" component & a takeout component. It was awfully cold that day, and sitting at picnic tables located outside for takeout customers didn't seem too appealing, so we decided to bring our order home. We ordered an onion burger, jalapeno burger & a side of fries. Everything was DELICIOUS. I don't know how the fries were so good, but I couldn't stop eating them. Our food wrappers were soaked through with grease, but let's not kid ourselves here... so worth it. Tasty Burger is way better than U Burger & is now my to-go place.

my friend told me about this place a while back and told me her and her friends liked to go there and get milk shakes and fries. being a burger fanatic, i was surprised i hadnt heard of this place before. Well, I finally came here with a few friends this weekend and I was impressed. I liked that they kept the outside looking like a gas station/garage. def gives it a unique look. But i was also happy that the inside was nice looking. it has a bar feel but not tight and crowded. they also have a pool table. now to the burgers. great selection. but I definately wanted to switch up some of the toppings to put on other things. but I decided to stick with what they have and maybe be adventurous next time. I chose to get the mushroom burger with swiss cheese. really good! my friends got the onion burger which was my second choice. I had to get a side order of fries and a milk shake because I heard the fries are great dipped in the milk shake. odd I kno. but so good! love salty sweet combos. all in all, i will definately be coming back here again. the prices are good and the burgers taste great.

Absolutely a great place to go on a date at. The environment is very casual and has a chilling vibe about it. IM not a big burger person, but i have to say the burgers here are pretty tasty!. The prices for these burgers are also pretty cheap. They also sell cheap pitchers also. Best of all they are open pretty late. (2am) I had the kahuna burger which was pretty good. If you are a big person or have a big appetite make sure you order two burgers. The burger isnt that big. I also order the chili i cheese dog. Which was ok, it wasn't out of this world. It was a little disappointing but i am a big chili cheese dog person.(so i set my standards high) And off course i got a glass pbr. I went with a group of friends and they all seem to enjoy their burgers also. SOmeone comment on how good teh onions rings here were It was very fried and crispy and were actually onion rings. I usually only come here late at night so i don't know how it is during the day. BUt they have plenty of booths, a couple of tables and a nice bar. Did i forget to mention they have a tasty challenge here. Come and find out for yourself if you can overcome the challenge

As a Fenway area worker, I'm always excited to see something new and exciting pop up in the area. On the first day it opened I was less excited. Every single person that I know who went that first week said it was "eh. not worth the money." However, I convinced some of my co-workers to go again so I could give it a try. WOOT! So glad we did. I think the key to enjoying this joint is to go inside rather than ordering at the walk-up window. This old gas station is now the home to some tasty veggie burgers that have yummy toppings like chipotle mayo, roasted red onions, gorgonzola cheese, etc. The 50/50 is a nice combo of shoestring onion rings and fries. Perfect to split with a friend!

One of my first meals in Boston. Again, I am not a burger fan (refer to Mr. Bartley's review).. So you must ask: "Why would you go to a place that has BURGER in the name?" Answer: my boyfriend. They have the most interesting specials! If, and when, you see chicken and waffles, get it. I've never had Roscoe's so I can't make a fair comparison but it was pretty good :) And two words: Raspberry Lime Rickey (Okay that was three but whatever!) Didn't know what a lime rickey was til I moved out to BOS, but now that I've had it once, I can't get enough of it!!

Perfect place for a delicious burger! I went with two friends for lunch and Tasty Burger is located in an old garage/gas station. We shared the 50/50 onion rings (shoe string not thick) and fries which was perfect for 3 of us. I had the turkey burger with cheese and it was so good! Didn't feel extremely disgusting afterwards which is always a plus. I also had a chocolate milkshake which was great too -- they have a bunch of other flavors. They have a bar at Tasty Burger too which is a plus and a student special for $10 which is a burger fries and a beer i think? The best thing of all? Found out at this place is open until 2am so if you're out in the fenway area its the perfect place to go to!

I love Tasty Burger. I've had pretty much every burger on the menu and fries, onion rings and shakes and have not been disappointed. Since I no longer eat meat, I thought I wouldn't go back, but their veggie burger is awesome, so there's no getting rid of me.

Great place! I'll give it 5 stars not because they have super fancy gourmet burgers that dropped out of heaven, but because if you're looking for a quick bite that'll hit the mmmmmm spot, something not too small that'll still leave you hungry, yet something not so big that you regret eating, and something fairly quick and simple, this place is as good as it gets (which is how yelp describes a 5 star rating, "as good as it gets")! Try it out!! + Large assortment of sauces at every table ++ Food comes out quickly even if sitting in at the restaurant +++ Bring your student ID, and you can get a burger, fries, and beer for $10!

The burgers are greasy and the onion rings are more friedness than onion, but I feel like that is expected when you look at Tasty Burger's Facade and location next to Fenway Stadium. Don't get me wrong, I love greasy food, why else do I keep ordering the Butta' Burger with Bacon?! It is good, but afterwards I always feel like I am going to have a mini heart attack. There are outdoor picnic tables which are always in the sun... I wish they had umbrellas, too! Though, there is also an indoor dining space, complete with a bar and pool table. The interior is much nicer than the outside, Prices are cheap and the burgers are yummy and greasy, not a place I could go everyday on lunch break though!

Love the chargrilled burgers. Very tasty and they wrap the to-go burger in this neat wrapper that makes eating and driving no so bad. The burger was juicy, decent sized and packed with flame grilled flavor. The fries were just ok. I would definetly go here again. I ordered to-go this time but next time i think i will have a seat and eat-in. The atmosphere seems like a place i wouldn't mind.

Good burgers and reasonable prices. Also, the music was top notch last time I was in there. It's a jukebox, but they should hire whoever was pumping it full of quarters.

Tasty Burger is one of the best late night spots in Boston. The burger variety is great and they are grilled perfectly!! They have gluten free options as well!! Get here as soon as possible!!

I'm experiencing Yelp-rage reading some of these reviews that whine about the burgers not being "cooked." Nothing makes me sadder than a gray, blah-colored burger. You can keep your edible hockey pucks, please. I adore Tasty Burger. On especially reckless days, nothing beats a burger, fries and a milkshake. Tasty Burger understands your inner fat kid.

Do you want a big, fat, juicy burger? Then you want a Tasty Burger! Whether you go for the traditional (single, or double) or you go Big Kahuna or Butter Burger this place has plenty to chose from so you can satisfy your burger hunger. To top it off, if you want a hot dog, some tasty boneless wings (nuggets) or onion straws, Tasty Burger has you covered in those departments as well. And last but not least - the shakes. Overall, this place is GREAT. The only potential downside is their rendition of "rare". Some would say it is under-cooked - some would say it is a perfectly done "rare" - so if you prefer warm pink center, or more 'done' than that let them know to keep it on the grill a bit longer. Did I mention a great beer selection? Ok, it is time for me to stop writing and get over there and eat a burger...

Had an awful experience at this Tasty Burger location last night. I was excited to bring my friend from RI to Tasty Burger, I had hyped up the place for awhile. We are both huge movie buffs and I was excited to show him the really cool Pulp Fiction picture along with have some of the delicious food. The problem wasn't the food whatsoever, it was out server. We seated ourselves, as the sign says to do, than after waiting a bit a guy came over and threw two menus on our table without saying anything and then just completely turned his back and went to do something else. Eventually when he came back he didn't say hello, or ask how we were tonight, just asked if we were ready to order. No refills on either of our drinks either. I was so confused. We both felt extremely uncomfortable and tried to order/eat as fast as we could so we could get out of there as soon as possible. The server never talked to us, just asked if we were ready to order. As much as I love that place I never plan to go back because of that experience. When my friend and I left we both looked at each other with confusing asking what we could've done to make this guy treat us so poorly. He obviously shouldn't be a server if he has no people skills. I'm giving this review two starts because the food is good, otherwise I wouldn't bother giving any for this visit. It's sad because any time I'm in the area for a baseball game or movie screening I insist on stopping at Tasty Burger, never again.

went here before the sox game, kinda busy but everything was great. i got the spicy jalapeno burger with fries, just right. i got the single for 5 bucks, but i think it was kinda small, probably should have got the double. pretty good and cheap beer menu, i would go back.

As far as food in the Fenway area goes, this is as good as it gets. It's open late, cheap, and consistently delicious. I've been there in the neighborhood of a dozen times with a variety of friends and family and no one has ever left disappointed. The service is very quick, the quality of the food is always exceptional, and the atmosphere is cool. This is the type of place that tourists should seek out when coming to visit. Good for vegetarians.

Oh Tasty Burger! My son and I need grease. No hold bar dirty grease. After the movies we headed out to Tasty Burger. Double Blue Cheese and Onion Strings. Ah the juice burger hit the spot. The Onion Strings were perfect. My gas tank of fat was full and happy. Service was excellent. The inside dining area was a nice blend of college kids and people in search of heart disease. I still confused by the parking. The lot said $6 but we found a space on the street so all is good. Tasty Burger is added to me list of wonderful places to go when I need a fix of fat. Two thumbs up (four if you include my son)!

Strike that, my apologies, I confused the prices with another burger establishment nearby. Pricing for the burgers are actually $4.50 to $5.50 and $7.50 for a Hamburger/Cheeseburger combo. Went by again recently around 1:30 in the morning with a few friends after a late night, even though they closed at 2, the staff were more than merry enough to let us stay a little bit later. Service was very quick and fast, and even though my appeal for Tasty Burgers burger are sub par, they're still filling and tasty none the less. We had 2 pitchers of beer, quick, cold and very cheap and had a good night hanging out and talking with the staff about crazy drunken nights and about the holiday season. Honestly, I've had better burgers, but the atmosphere, beers, staff and the joy/experience of being at Tasty Burger is what makes it awesome. Go with friends! Makes the experience so much better, and thanks so much to the staff for serving us late! Much love!

Tasty Burger is conveniently located to where I work. I tried the gorgonzola burger and confused the new cashier by doing so. Poor guy. I used the "take away" window and noted that they should probably have an order window to facilitate the large late-night crowds I expect they get. I'd also suggest a loud speaker because I barely heard my name being called. The burger was just fine, albeit mighty drippy. The gorgonzola sauce seemed to have unmelted, shredded cheese in it (weird!) and scallions (yum!). I'll go back to try the fries as I hear they're good. And I do love the fact that you can get an order of half fries/half rings. GENIUS!

Tasty Burger does not serve the best burgers that I've ever had but they do what they do better than any place that I've ever been to. Either they lucked out or someone trained the shit out of their window girl because she was custom tailored to take orders from drunk people and be awesome. If you are a smart man you'll order your burger like they tell you, medium, and get a tasty morsel that's a perfect metaphor for your heart, black and charred on the outside, pink and tender when you manage to break through. When you get your grease stained bag you'll be a happy drunkard and they aren't giving away those bags of happiness but you could do a lot worse.

Loved the interior! Very creative, not too overdone, chill yet cozy atmosphere allows for lots of different occasions to be held. Waitresses are really friendly and helpful. Kinda slow with service because they chat a bit with other customers, but if you're not in a rush to the movies it's not unbearable. The burger was probably one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had! Not juicy like typical fast food chains like McDonalds or Wendy's, but with quality meat and good bun. Would definitely come here before every movie :)

2nd visit at Tasty Burger and another underwhelming experience. Meh meh meh. You basically need to order heavily condimented burger with lots of stuff on it to cover the mediocre taste of the meat.

used to work in the kenmore area and would want cheap, late night food. 50/50 sausage gravy..HOLY f@CK. so good. gravy is amazing. if i get that with a burger i'm usually stuffed. honestly i'll save half of the 50/50 for a snack later. i've dined in, gotten take out and called in orders. all have been great. one time went after work for beers and burgers. my burger seemed to take forever. And they used the wrong cheese. bartender was totally on it and went back to get the right one. the re fire unfortunately took just as long. bartender apologized and said don't worry you're not even paying for it when it does come. finally got it and devoured it. shit happens, i work in the industry, i was just glad to get my burger. other times i've dined in food/service is awesome. even their salads are good...which is saying something for a burger joint. keep an eye out for their burger of the day. usually some last minute creation. some are intriguing. others are not. always worth checking out though if you want something more exotic than what's on their menu. Take out window service is awesome. there's an order and a pick up window. person at the order window is always friendly. i usually make the jerk mistake of putting my burger order in, add LTO...then remember oh, sub a turkey patty. i guess the way their system is set up...if you're modifying the patty (veggie, turkey, extra, etc) you need to do that first. felt like a total jerk making the girl start over but she was like "no no prob at all" and had it done in 10 seconds. calling in orders...hmph. one time they forgot a burger. huge fail as it was family dinner night back at moms and someone didn't have a burger ended up calling a place that delivered and more in the neighborhood. FAIL. although i did tell my brother he should have counted the burgers since it was a big order. called and the mgr said i could come back the next day and get it ...never got around to it. kinda wish he gave me some sort of credit or gift card..idk. a more recent call in order was flawless though. the person on the phone even repeated the order back and gave me a total (money and also like, okay so that's 5 burgers total). maybe they started doing this because burgers were missing more than once? but when my dad came home with the bags of burgers and fries everything was accounted for. faith was restored for calling in orders. Pricing is super reasonable. I prefer this place over UBurger. but not over 5 guys. Sorry, i just love five guys' fries. Also all of 5 guys toppings are free so that's kind of a no brainer. but if you're in the neighborhood head over to tasty burger and that's just what you'll get!! TB FOR LIFE

Alright, no change in the stars because this place is still a STAR, but how do you run out of onion rings at 6PM on a Tuesday evening with the party hopping??? Literally the only reason why I was there last night and was turned down! Another point--The server definitely had his fries in a bunch. I think the only sentence he said to us was "What can I get you?" He passed by our table multiple times, seeing the check was ready, and didn't pick it up until we had another server make him do it! And he also didn't wait to give us our check or ask if we wanted anything else...I had to order my milkshake outside! Ugh! But still I will be back. Indefinitely.

I love pulp fiction and really wanted to come here to see the giant Samuel L Jackson picture of him eating a tasty burger. While the picture was spectacular, we were hungry and ordered lunch before heading to a Red Sox v Cubs game. Not only were the prices reasonable, beer and hamburger selection bountiful, but they served beer in pitchers. They also had my favorite beer, yuengling, on tap! I'm from CA so it's a big deal when I can have yuengling, especially on draft. I ordered a classic tasty burger and it was delicious. The meat was cooked just right and the special sauce was quite tasty. Based on yelp recommendations, we ordered the half fries half onion rings, which was perfect. The onion rings were the shoestring kind and disappeared quickly; kind of wish we ordered another. I enjoyed looking at the eating challenge wall of fame and wish I could have seen someone try it. There was plenty of seating, a large bar area, AC, and even a pool table. I would definitely recommend coming here before heading to fenway or any time you feel like having a burger and quoting some of the great lines from Pulp Fiction.

This place lives up to its name! I feel like this is what it might have been like to visit the very first McDonald's back in the 50s: no frills, take out window, picnic benches for dining outside in the parking lot. We stopped in to grab a quick meal before catching a movie, and quick it was! But also delicious! My bf ordered a single patty cheeseburger, I went against the grain and got the chili cheese hot dog. We rounded out the order with some french fries (they only come in one size, apparently) and a small Coke to share, but we a little annoyed that the cashier didn't offer up one of the combo deals to save us a buck and change. Oh well, live and learn. It was a nice night, so we ate outside. I had a bite of the cheeseburger and admonished myself for not getting that, but I was pretty happy with my dog. The fries were perfectly salted and really good. I would definitely eat here again! Maybe I'll see what the inside looks like next time.

The burger was good, but the service was awful. I stood at the take out window for 12 minutes after the previous customer before my order was taken, and when I got my food my burger, side, and drink were all wrong. The employee was not happy to get me the onion rings I ordered (instead of the fries I got) or the coke I ordered (instead of the diet I got), so I didn't even bother trying to exchange the tasty burger I got for the bacon cheese burger I ordered. And the shake I got was lacking in flavor. If Shake Shack expands in to Boston, Tasty Burger will be over if tonight's experience is anything to go by.

I have gone to Tasty Burger since last year when they celebrated their one year anniversary with a $1 burger back last September. Since then, I have not looked back and brought many friends here to have a reasonably priced and delicious burger. Though slightly pricier than fast food burgers, it is totally worth it while not charging you an arm and a leg either. Their burgers are delicious and I love their lime rickeys too! Even one of my friends from Korea would go many times over and over again due to his love for Tasty Burger! The toppings are fresh and the burgers are each freshly cooked to order. Truthfully, I think they edge out In and Out (which I do love them too!). You have a choice of dine in or dine out (outside) and save on tip too! Whenever I am in the Fenway area, I have to stop by and grab a burger while I am there.

Tasty Burger is unfortunately close to home - this just means I'm tempted to go all the time! I've never had the burgers, but the hot dogs are great, as are the fries and shakes. I usually get takeout and the service is always pretty quick and the food is very fresh. The people I've dealt with at the windows are all friendly as well! And this place is open til 2 so its great when you're leaving the bars/clubs on Lansdowne and hungry. UPDATE 2/19 I've been here a couple of times late at night, and I don't know if they're assuming that everyone will be too drunk to notice, but the hotdogs aren't cooked NEARLY as well for the late night crowd. Makes me sad because it used to be my go-to late night place, but now I'm inclined to get crap pizza instead. Thus the downgrade to 4 stars - I still love this place normally!

Ooooooooh Tasty Burger. You are the hangover cure I've been waiting for! A couple of my friends live right by Tasty and have been regulars since they moved to Fenway. They kept "checking in" on Facebook and raving about it all the time so my boyfriend and I decided it must be deserving of a special trip. I, like many other people, believe that In-N-Out Burger is the top-dog when it comes to "fast food" burgers. I can safely say that after having a Tasty Burger, they are a very close second to INO. A very close second. As in, I'm glad I don't live in Fenway because I'd be a Tasty Burger addict and would weigh 250 pounds. I wish the burger menu had a bit more to offer, but I'm sure they just know what they do well and feel there's no need to offer more. Legit. Go here. With or without a hangover. JUST GO.

BEWARE OF ANGRY AND POSSIBLY VIOLENT STAFF. Last saturday, my boyfriend, his family and I decided to go to Tasty Burger after the Red Sox game. We sat down and after a while our waiter eventually came over to take our drink orders. When it was time to take our food orders, he stopped my boyfriend's brother in the middle of his order to watch what was on the television... When my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend hesitated during her order, he immediately said "I'll come back" and ran off. Rude, but we let it go. My boyfriend and I are currently waiters, and everyone else at the table had been waiters at some point in their life, so we are very understanding and patient when eating at restaurants. After our food was brought to us (by a different server), he never came over to check how everything was or get us more drinks. We asked him for the check and waited another 10-15 minutes before one of my boyfriend's brothers waved him over to ask for the check again. The waiter stopped and glared at us. He then said, "Never do this (talking about the waving) to me again. It's rude." We were shocked. None of us were trying to be rude, we just wanted our check! And even if it was rude.. DEAL WITH IT. That's his job as a waiter to deal with the public. He continued to argue with us and yell, saying that we were being rude. After exchanging more words about his disrespect, we asked for the manager. Instead of getting the manager, our waiter printed out the check and threw it on our table. After realizing the manager wasn't coming over, one of my boyfriend's brothers went and got him himself. We calmly explained the situation and it was immediately evident that this manager has no control over his staff. All he said was, "I'm sorry, I'll definitely talk to him." He was polite, but I just don't think that was the appropriate way to handle a waiter who yells and argues with his customers. As we were talking to the manager, the waiter was standing to the side glaring at us. Once the manager walked away, rather than apologizing, the waiter comes over and starts yelling at us again! He then said to us, "NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE IN HEAR AGAIN, OR THAT'S A WRAP." Yes, the waiter THREATENED us. He continued yelling at us and began putting his hands on one of my boyfriend's brothers' chest in a very aggressive manner, getting angrier and angrier. Then, he pulled our chairs out behind us and said "GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT!" I repeat. The WAITER told us to get out of "HIS" restaurant. All the while, the manager was not doing a thing. We left and asked to speak to the manager outside. We were so frustrated at this point. He apologized, but flat out said there was nothing he could do. He said it was a saturday night, they were busy and he needed the waiter to stay. This manager has absolutely no control over his staff and that is why his waiters act like complete animals. I'm not positive of the manager's name, I think it might have been Dave, he was an African American male with longer hair. I don't remember the waiter's name either because it was something exotic, "Issa" maybe? Either way, I am absolutely disgusted with this type of service and will never ever eat there again. This is not the first time I have had poor service there. The staff is always unfriendly and inattentive and just plain rude. For example, one time my friend and I were given small sodas but were charged for larges. When we POLITELY asked the waiter to change it she got frustrated saying "If you don't want to pay for your sodas fine!" But, still didn't end up adjusting the bill. My point is, this restaurant is OUT OF CONTROL. The only reason why they are in business is because they are located right by Fenway and in a college/touristy area. The food is good, but you might as well go down the street to burger king where you would definitely get better service. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tolerate/reward this kind of behavior by taking your business there!!! There are plenty of other good restaurants in the area that don't treat their customers this way. What if a fight had broken out? Customers or even worse, children, could've gotten seriously injured all because of the angry staff that works there! This is by far the worst restaurant experience any of us had ever had. I really hope you keep this review in mind the next time you think about eating there. We had done nothing to provoke such angry and rude behavior from the waiter, so I can only imagine what he does when dealing with actually difficult customers. This restaurant does not deserve to be in business so please do not help keep it that way!

Is it really possible to find some tasty hamburgers in Boston at a good price without going to McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's? I think so. If I had to use one word to describe the food at this place, it would probably be "tasty". Yes, the hamburgers are actually tasty. So the name of this place actually means what it says. The first time I came here, I got a tasty Mushroom Burger, which has mushrooms, Swiss cheese and A1 Steak Sauce. The burger meat was really tasty, good, juicy, flavorful, chewy and tender. The cheese and the steak sauce, combined with the soft chewiness of the bun, made it a really tasty hamburger. The hamburger sandwich itself is not really big, probably about the size of a Quarter Pounder from your local McDonald's. However, the hamburgers they serve are probably 5 times tastier than McDonald's, and they are probably competitive with Five Guys Burgers and Fries Hamburgers in terms of tastiness. 2-3 tasty hamburgers from this place should satisfy a hunger craving. They do a really tasty and good job with their side dishes. Their onion rings are not a bad choice, they are nice and thin, with a good amount of crispiness. They are fairly tasty and addicting to eat. A little seasoning and they are probably tastier. As for the French Fries, they are decently tasty, but they are even tastier if you get sausage gravy doused on top. This warm, gooey, and tasty sauce, combined with the tasty sausage pieces, along with the crispiness of the fries made it a really tasty side dish and also an addicting side dish to eat. It's messy to eat, so we used some forks. We felt fairly heavy after eating a lot of these fries, so it was a good idea to walk a good distance afterwards. One major disadvantage this place has is that the soda drinks are kind of expensive ($2), and they serve them in plastic bottles rather than from the fountain tap. I think that is a little bit strange. Environment is really casual, with a small bar inside to get some beer, and a billiards table for some fun. This place is at a really good location, near Fenway Park, so I think this place can get really crowded whenever a baseball game or a rare concert occurs. It's also open until 2:00 AM, so it's still a good choice after a night out in the city, or if you are still awake at 1:30 in the morning, and you suddenly get the "munchies" feeling (a sudden hunger feeling after you did something fun and exciting). There's parking, so you can actually drive here. Overall, this is a really good choice to get some tasty hamburgers or some really tasty fries with sausage gravy. Like I said before in my previous reviews regarding tasty and potentially unhealthy places to eat at, I would not eat here often, unless I have an intense exercise routine before or a few hours after.

I love this place! Great burgers for just about what you would play across the street at bk for one of their meals. Unfortunately the sides are sorta hit or miss, sometimes they're amazing, sometimes they're gross and soggy. The onion rings are more like limp slightly fried onions than anything truly ring like, don't think I'll order them again. I haven't tried any of their chicken items yet, but the hot dogs are pretty solid and that range of burgers is truly impressive, so far I like the Hubba burger best. I've only eaten in once, I dislike the noise level, it's just a bar type atmosphere, but I like the takeaway window, as long as you don't go after like midnight it moves pretty fast. Gotta say I love the late hours as a college student!

I really, really want to love Tasty Burger. And for a long time, I did. Great food, reasonable prices, and good service. But the experience I had on my 21st birthday left a bitter taste in my mouth and I haven't been able to bring myself to go back since. I wanted to go out and have a good time I wouldn't remember, but an 8 am lab the next morning and exam the afternoon after my birthday ensured I'd have to do something a little more low key. So Tasty Burger for beers it was. It was busy, so we sat at the bar. I ordered my first legal drink and the bartender stated at my license for a long time. He finally handed it back to me and very unenthusiastically wished me a happy birthday. We ordered our food - no complaints there, came out fast and hot, just the way we ordered it. My two friends had agreed to split the check for my dinner, but halfway though dinner one of them realized she forgot her wallet. No big deal, we're all friends here, I can pay for our food and you can pay me back later, right? Well when we got the check, the bartender says to my friends "oh, you're not even going to buy your friend dinner on her birthday? Some friends you are." Wow. Just...wow. First of all, there is no law that says I don't pay on my birthday. Second of all, it's not your place to comment on who pays and the way you said it was downright rude. I was so appalled and upset I haven't been able to go back since.

An evening of torrential downpour left us craving local food, combined with a desire for burgers we found ourselves at Tasty Burger battling the Red Sox crowd. Ok, it wasn't really that busy, ordering barely took 2-3 minutes, and our order was out in about 5. My taste buds were seriously confused as to how this burger was cooked. This is super duper important to know, because sometimes you aren't craving the smoky goodness of charcoal, or the super greasiness of a flat iron grill, or simplicity of a gas grill. I have a horrible urge to call them right now and find out, because to be honest I am a bit confused. I couldn't smell anything outside the two times I walked by, so I'm thinking its not made on a charcoal grill. However, it has this smokey flavor that makes me think otherwise. I think the investigation is still open on this one. Besides flavor, a burger needs to have grease, lots of natural grease. Unfortunately, this is where I think things were a little wrong, and maybe it was our fault. We order well done, as we don't like medium. When we got the burger, the outside was somewhat charred and almost tasted burned. I'm not sure if it was the jalapeno cheese that had a super smoky flavor, or if it was the burger because it was semi burned. I will mention however, that the jalapeno cheese was a very cool addition, if the burger patty is made right, this place would easily be 5+ stars for having a great burger at a great price. You can't have burgers without fries, and Tasty Burger's fries single handedly saved them. When we received them they were piping hot and fresh, salted to perfection. In fact, if there is anything I'm craving from Tasty Burger, its their fries. Absolutely simple, amazing, and fresh. I think I've rambled on for long enough now. I will definitely be coming back, because I think there is a lot of promise here. Tempted to get the sack of burgers, if they can be done right, when my fiancee's brother or my brother comes. We'll destroy them.

I was at the Fenway location the other day with 4 others. We all ordered combo meals and there was also one shake. We were told a 20 minute wait. That wait turned into 60 minutes. As we were coming back from the beach we were required to extend the zip car we rented, which was an additional $7 on top of the nearly $50 we had already collectively spent at Tasty Burger. We finally receive our food and it's all cold. The fries are cold, our burgers are cold, and the shake? WARM as if had been sitting out for a period of time. I really hope you find a way to reconcile this negative experience for us. Waiting an hour when we were quoted 60 minutes is bad enough, but to receive COLD food and a lukewarm shake after the fact is just unacceptable.

I was waiting for more than 20 minutes after ordering my burgers and had paid quite a bit more too, so I was thinking this had better be better than McDonalds. It turns out it's much worse! When I came back home with my bag and opened it, I found the french fries missing!! When I called them, I had to wait another 5 minutes just to get a person and this guy started asking me for my order number on the receipt and even my phone number to "verify" (this is over two french fries). I don't know why these guys are in business if they can't even do the basic things right.

Now, I do not consider myself a burger snob like some - I just like a good burger, plain and simple! And what do we have here, hidden next to Fenway? Tasty Burger, and as their name implies - YUM! Now, most people think a good burger is just ground chuck slabbed on a grill. NO WAY! many 'great' burgers are combinations of different cuts of beef, fresh, not frozen, and how they are cooked. And Tasty Burger has the recipe down pretty well. A nice think patty, super juicy, cooked the right way, ready to soak through the wax paper it is wrapped in (yes, it may be juicy and greasy, all the better! You arent eating the burger to be healthy, you re eating it to satisfy your primitive need for a hunk of tasty beef!) The burgers are good size, and I can get away with only eating one (and fries) and be happy. They are priced well, and afforable. They have good outdoor seating, and apparently indoor seating (you can see it, but I hve always stayed outside or gotten take out) Some highlights! - sack of burgers! buy five, get a discount. Wow, are you REALLY that hungry? Or you could use them to bribe your friends to help you out with something. Much better than a sack of McD's... - creative toppings. I am normally boring. I get bacon and cheese. and lettuce. and tomato. yeah, boring. But if you want teryaki sauze and pineapple, sure! They even have dily specials, which are all kid of crazy creations, from deep friend to being on texas toast, to having a hot dog on top of the burger, and even a jersey Shore burger one day! (I was afraid) - Fries are good too. Thin cut, but cooked well, not to greasy, and just enough seasoning. So if youre coming out of a Sox game and hungry, or in the area, give them a try. Very good burgers, just plain good hunks of meat, and worth the few bucks you will pay!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what the hype is all about. I've heard RAVE reviews for months but not being a huge burger fan, I've been pushing back a bit and have always eaten somewhere else before meeting people. Then presented the opportunity before a Red Sox game to finally give their burgers a shot. Now I have mid-western friends who eat probably 2-3 of these burgers in a sitting (yes they are healthy). When my burger came out with bacon, cheese and avocado, I won't lie, it looked fantastic! It just didn't have the flavor I was really looking for. Even now thinking about it, it wasn't all that memorable except the location. I love that you can sit outside, listen to the noise of the ballpark and lean back on one of their benches. That was bliss after a day at work. So overall, I loved the atmosphere, not keen on the burgers or portions for the price.

Read so many good reviews about this place and I left with a okay experience. I got the veggie burger with fries and extra tasty sauce. I ate outside and while I wasn't expected any real service they way call out orders is pretty confusing. I was in a group of 6 people and ordered last. Got my food first and the rest of my friends all ordered the same thing and their orders came out not in the same order whatsoever. I thought this was a good take on the veggie burger because it included peppers. My stomach ached a little bit later that night but that was probably cause the burger was so hot. Good value just make sure you dont order anything out of the ordinary

**Consistently** the burger that can satisfy a burger craving. That's the only criterion that matters. I emphasize consistency here because the other Tasty Burger branches don't match up to this original (have had 3 awful experiences in 4 trips to Harvard). It beats snooty Shake Shack's adult happy meals any day. As a bonus, they're open very late and still serve 'em up fresh, and customer service is great.

I like it here. It's a converted gas station. How cool is that? Very collegey (is that a word?) crowd, with a few other people sprinkled in. Not that Whiskey's Bar college crowd, this is actually a studious, more upscale college aged bunch. I suspect during game time, the demographic changes dramatically. CHEAP and GOOD food. I LOVE the chili-cheese beef hot dog, yummy! I usually get a combo basket of fries/onion rings. Beware, they have those annoying shoestring onion rings, which are just gross and soggy and a pain to eat. They've got an expansive beer and wine selection, flat screens mounted, very clean, upscale atmosphere, and they are about a block from Red Sox Nation- Fenway Park. Cheapest, GOOD, meal in the area. Servers are great, service is spotty- sometimes really slow, sometimes quick.

A little overrated, yelp friends of mine. We had a friend in town who also loves using yelp, so we thought, oh we know a cheap place that has great reviews on yelp, let's try it! So we went, but definitely not a 4 star place. I mean, it is pretty cheap and if you are a student you can get a beer, fries, and a burger for $10 (select drafts of course ha) which is awesome considering we are in the land of no happy hour here in MA. But all of us just thought our burgers were just like any other cheap burger around, and they definitely weren't up to In & Out standards of cheap burgers for those of you who know what I am talking about! My burger came with cheese and jalapenos and it was fine, but nothing awesome. The 50/50 onion strings fries we got, the onion strings definitely won that battle since the fries were just average fries too. Good thing you make awesome milk shakes. The green monstah mint chip shake made Matt J. and his friend love this place so much more. Oh and they have an awesome picture of Samuel L Jackson from Pulp Fiction eating a burger artfully painted on the wall. That made it a way more awesome experience too. I need that artwork in my house.

Oh, Tasty Burger, I'd been waiting to try you for some time now. And oh, how you disappointed. We did takeout, I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun (no lettuce or tomato) and a raspberry lime rickey. I paid. Then I found out that they were out of gluten-free buns. Would I like a regular bun? No, it's an allergy, I wouldn't eat fake bread if I didn't absolutely have to. Would I like a lettuce wrap? Why the hell would I want a lettuce wrap if I didn't want lettuce on it to begin with? Just give it to me in a box with a fork and a knife, please. They still got my $1.25 for my non-existent gluten-free bun. I was still hopeful that this would be a "tasty" burger. Alas, such was not to be. It was a salty burger. No amount of ketchup or mustard was going to change that. One star for the raspberry lime rickey being tasty enough to clear the salt from my palette. Minus 4 for the lack of communication, taking my $1.25, and the mouth puckeringly salty slabs of beef.

I really enjoyed Tasty Burger. Service was great, food served quick and it was truly a tasty burger. It's in a cool old auto garage and it's a block from Fenway. Kinda shocked to see the men's washroom plastered in graffiti, but hey that must be their vibe.

After eating different thick patty gourmet burgers, Tasty Burger is a great alternative. I had a cheeseburger with fries. I loved the thin patty, very 1950s style. It's extra special since not many places do thin patties nowadays. The bun was great as well. The fries were crispy and well seasoned. The staff was pretty friendly and the food came out quickly.

I have always had decent visits to Tasty Burger in the fenway. They always come through for those late night hunger pains. My only complaint is that sometimes the staff is not the happiest but I'm sure they have their fair share of drunk people to deal with at those late night times and it may leave a bad taste in their mouths when dealing with their other customers.

Food here is always good. Burgers, fries and stringy style onion rings. While most burger joints have other items on menu, everything we have ordered here has been great - hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, even hummus. Really great value for your $, everything tastes fresh and freshly prepared. Fast, efficient service inside, where you can enjoy some good beers. Unfortunately, take out window service has become shoddy. Always straight forward orders, but for some reason, lately, nothing has been easy. Service always a bit erratic, and some cashiers a little snarky ( hey, would order faster if the menu was not around the corner so when I want to look at something have to move over to side and take a look ). You can call in an order, but have to give a credit card. That many fake orders? Usually in car when I think it would be great to swing by on way home, so this never works. On one visit asked for chips with works, please put the bacon on the side (sharing with a non bacon lover). Looked at my receipt and realized cashier had rung it up as no bacon and then charging me for a side bacon. When I inquired, was told that was their policy. The side bacon was then left out of the order when I got home. Last week ordered at window. Very cold, outside lamps not on. Lunch time. Tons of people working inside. Twenty five minutes later, went to window and asked for a refund and to cancel order. Apparently they had a very large delivery order and just shut down the take out. Would have been nice to be told or forewarned. There was no, "let me check on it," or apologies, just gave me the money back.

This was the first restaurant my wife and I ate at when we reached Boston on a Friday afternoon. Our waitress was extremely friendly and had lots of recommendations. I ordered the jalapeÃ±o burger with large fries to share, and my wife ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I paired my burger with a harpoon IPA which was incredible. My burger was cooked to a perfect medium with grilled jalapeÃ±os and thousand Island dressing. The French fries were a little bland, but perfectly crunchy. I would have loved an option for spicy seasoned fries or garlic parmesan fries!

Vicky D.

Such a great place for students or families on a budget who are going to a game. You can get a good burger and fries and BEER/WINE for pretty cheap! Service was quick and although I didn't order a burger, it looked pretty basic but good. Had some fries which were fresh and crispy. Would definitely come back here again next time I'm in Boston in the Fenway area.

Stayed in Boston for a week on business. Tasty burger is right across the street from our staff apartment in Kenmore Square. I think I went like 4 or 5 times in the course of the 7 days that I was actually there. Even if it was for a late night snack. Every time I went, I went with the Spicy Chicken sandwich with extra pickles, an order of fries, and a chocolate shake. Amazing stuff. Sometimes you will have to wait in a line.. Especially if you go late at night. Trust me, Tasty Burger is worth the wait! Friendly service too! Wish there was one of these in California....

The hostess and the attendant at the counter/bar both both super friendly and welcoming. And that is about the end of the good part. Seriously, I feel that I went to an alternate universe version of the Tasty Burger everyone here raves about. I ordered a veggie burger, which should have been at least decent. The first thing that I noticed is that my burger took a long time. I mean, maybe they had to run to Shaw's to buy a veggie patty, but seriously, the place was not that busy, it was lunch time on a Saturday so they should have been fully staffed. Then I got excited when I got my order. The burger was neatly wrapped and it was pipping hot. A good sign, but after the first bite I noticed that it tasted very mushy, perhaps it had sat under the hot lights for too long? I really should have sent it back. But maybe that is how they are . Then after a couple of more bites it dawned on me? the bread was soggy, as in it had not been toasted and all the condiment had soaked into it. This burger was really gross. I ordered the onion rings and they also were very unappetizing. Overall, I judge this a crappy experience. My stomach is still reeling from that assault and I would say honestly stay way from this place, unless you just have beer. The ambiance was very strage. This was 1:00 PM on a Saturday afternoon and they were blaring some kinda hip-hop thing very loud, now, I know what you are thinking, Rom, you are just getting old. But kinda the poinht of lunch is to go have a conversation, fine turn up the radio at night if you want when it's party central. A saving grace is that they have a little area for families so little kids can relax and be themselves, but honestly, I would not take my kids to eat here.

I used to live on the East Cost and one thing I missed from Chicago was a good burger. My sister took me to Tasty Burger first thing when I landed in Boston. I would highly recommend to any midwesterner, now East Coast missing home to go here, but warning you ask for a "Pop" they won't know what you are talking about ;) My sister had the Teriyaki, I took a bite, very yummy. I tried the classic Tasty burger, it's inda along the lines of Portillos, but I am biased.

Alexandra M.

Got the spicy jalapeno made with a veggie burger and they did not account for the lack of the juiciness that the veggie burger had making it very dry. The spicy cheese was good...but not very spicy which I thin they tried to make up for with a massive amount of jalapenos. I put some mayo on and that balanced it out well. Really good veggie burger though. We got the 50/50 for people to share and the onion rings and fries were average. The first table we sat at had the air conditioner right above it...meaning there was water dripping on the table so we had to move. Service was decent. Didn't stay on top of water, and we kept having different people do different things. Great prices for students.

This place is awesome. Its crowded and loud at times, they only serve beer and wine, but damn their food is good. If you are in the area and drunk, its even better. This is my go-to for food after a night or day of drinking around the Fenway.

Wow, let me tell a story about this place! I took Brent, my 13 year old stepson, here one day after baseball practice. We have been trying to eat healthy, but when I asked him if he wanted to go to Pita Pit, he said, "No, f*gg*t, I want bacon burger now!" so we came here instead. Their burgurs have the highest amount of flavor this stepdad has ever tasted! We got their 50/50 order of fries and rings. Brent also got a chocolate shake and I tasted a little bit when he threw it in my face (I hope this was an accident) outside on the way back to the car. The only reason I am doing 4 stars instead of a "perfect 5" is becase Brent was rude to me a little bit, and I think the restaurant could have helped a bit with that. All in all, it's a great food place, but not as good as Dave and Busters for stepdad/stepson bonding dinner. Still good for stepparents though. - Rick

Alison B.

I've been a huge fan of Tasty Burger since they opened in Fenway. I find that the more frills are put on a burger, the less I want to eat it. Tasty Burger burgers are simple: flat, greasy, American-cheesy, and just plain tasty. To top that, they have been consistently adding to their canned beer list, which I LOVE. Plus you get a $2 coozie! What could ruin that package? Oh, I know.. TERRIBLE SERVICE. The service at this particular location has gone WAY, WAY downhill since it opened. I don't know if management has changed hands or what, but it has taken a complete 180 .. I used to go in and be greeted almost immediately by either the bartender, host, manager, basically whoever saw me first and it was with a smile and "Where would you like to sit?" The bartenders used to be friendly and accommodating and now I feel like I'm a burden when I take a seat at the bar. I KNOW that a friendly demeanor is 100% necessary to work behind a bar, because I'm a bartender! That's right; I'm a bartender and I almost always prefer to sit at the bar instead of a table, so yes, I am constantly judging the type of service I get from behind the taps. Lately, I'll walk in and absolutely no one will acknowledge my presence for 5 or so minutes. Eventually, I'll take a seat and then for another 5-10 minutes I'll be waiting for someone to come and say hello and take my drink order. One time recently, a gentleman (not in any particular uniform) didn't even say "hello" or "how are you?".. He literally plopped menus on our table and walked away. Are you kidding me? Then when we weren't ready to order, he didn't come back for another 10-15 minutes. We had to call him over and he told us "Sorry, I thought you were still having a conversation." Towards the end I think he realized he was giving extremely undesirable service, because he started being overly nice. I tipped over 20% because I am a server and this is how most people make a living. But Tasty Burger, you need to get it together. Seriously. Just absolutely unacceptable. Your food is so good! It should be just as much a priority to make your service standards as good, too.

I'm not going to lie, this place is so good. It's relatively inexpensive for the amount of food you get. I always recommend getting a combo. That way, you get a burger or hot dog (with many choices), fries, and a drink. I definitely appreciate that the burgers are made to order and the medium rare is a good pink that is juicy and savory. I usually get the Tasty Burger. I also tried the Chili Cheese Dog the other day and it was insanely delicious and hit the spot. The hot dog was juicy in the inside and the chili cheese made all the difference. I definitely will try more of the selection of burgers and hot dogs. I'm lucky to work at Fenway and be able to walk over for lunch whenever I can. I love that this place has an indoor seating section, an outdoor patio, and picnic benches with a to go window. I also enjoy that it's good for individuals or large groups to eat here, and also to enjoy a beer! A lot of people compare this place to In-N-Out. I wouldn't say they are the same thing, because they have a distinctive difference, but I think that this is what I enjoy on the East Coast since I don't have In-N-Out. I enjoy them both equally.

It's opened til 2 a.m.....as in...get out of the bar and get food. Do i need to say more? Not really, but I will. The burgers are yummy, the onion ring and fry combo is a godsend...and getting a Raspberry Lime-Rickey at 130 in the morning never tasted so wonderful. This place has a fun feel, like you are at a drive in or something. I like the picnic tables outside =). I will be coming back here soon...possibly on Friday around 145 a.m....Yeah probably.

I seriously thought I had reviewed Tasty Burger, but I guess it slipped my mind... Not much to say that hasn't been said in the 323 other reviews. We got take-out on St. Patty's Day and brought it home. It wasn't as hot as it would have been had we eaten it there, but it was still DELISH. It took a loong time for our order to come out, but they were fairly busy. Would I go there again? Yes, but there are some better burgers out there.

I have celiac's disease, and being able to eat late night with all of my friends without getting sick makes me feel like a normal person! It is so nice to come to tasty burger time and time again and not get glutened. It's easy, fast, delicious, and they are great about gluten free. Great gf buns, AMAZING French fries. Love this place!

Great location, somewhere in Fenway that is easy to park, and a very good burger - really don't need much more... well except for a clean bathroom. The bathroom here knocked off a star because on the way in i had to walk through a literal SEA of fruit flies, blech, and the bathroom itself was pretty gross. I had the burger with jalapenos and spicy cheese, and it was VERY hot. The onion rings are super delicious and I hope to go back soon (as long as i use a restroom before).

Michelle A.

Highly recommend you get the 50/50 onion rings and french fries. I LOVE onion strings. You know the skinny onion rings. OMG! As a treat after touring Fenway Park we went to Tasty Burger. I've been here before but my little buddy hasn't. We ate every bit of what we ordered. Kinda messy from the proprietary Tasty Sauce but worth the effort. Napkins didn't really do the job of cleanup too well. I could of used a wet nap. Also recommend putting a few more tables out there for the take out people. We had to share a table with a nice mom and her two sons. Not everyone will be as accommodating as she was. Next time I go I will order the BUTTA BURGER! PRO- They actually serve free tap water if you ask for it.

Burgers at 2am - doesn't matter how they taste. Stopped by at 1:30am after a solid night at the bars, and was surprised to see a parking lot/seating area full of people noshing on burgers. Got the eponymous tasty burger. I can see the In-N-Out comparisons, if In-N-Out were saltier, cooler, and altogether less harmonious in flavor. Incidentally, In-N-Out is open until 1am or so on certain nights - but then the you'd have to be in California! Overall, reasonable burger, and at 2am, the $5 charge for a 1/3 pound burger that tastes fine is pretty respectable. Haven't yet slept on the late night food bolus, but I imagine it'll be all water under the bridge compared to the next-day gastrointestinal effects of beer. Go medium on the burger - the meat's not good enough for rare to shine.

I found out about this place on line while trying to find some new places to eat for our trip planned to Boston. The menu looked awesome and we had tickets to a Red Sox game so Tasty Burger was immediately bookmarked. After the game we weren't really sure which way to head, luckily there were a few MA State Police watching the Celtics game outside of a bar, yes they were on duty. They were a great help and gave us perfect directions, so you know they probably eat there all the time. We had no idea there was an inside restaurant until after we ordered from the outside window, but that's okay because they closed up the bar soon after we got there. We got a Bacon Cheeseburger and soda and ate at the picnic tables in the cool night air. It was a perfect after game treat, I could imagine how good it is after a night at the bar too. A little greasy, a little messy, and a lot yummy. I wish we had time to go back for another visit, hopefully on our next visit to Boston.

My hotel concierge pointed me towards Tasty Burger when I asked about a place to grab a quick bite before a Yankees/Red Sox game and I am SO glad he did. This place rocks! For $17 (including tip) I had a delicious cheeseburger, a Bengali Tiger IPA and some entertaining banter (read: talking smack) with the staff. The service was speedy and friendly, and the fun diner-meets-dive-bar atmosphere got me geared up up for the game. Given that I literally could have thrown a baseball and hit Fenway from their parking lot (and I don't exactly have a gun for an arm), the prices were a pleasant surprise.

Damn...these burgers are tasty! It's the perfect combination of home cooked burgers and take out. Tons of options for toppings too. The fries are decent but the fried onions are some of the worst I have ever had. Great beer selection. Over 40 cans!!!! Always a place to sit and they have a take out window too. Prices are good, not cheap but not expensive either. Service is spotty but friendly. A fun place to hang out and have one of the best burgers in town. One last thing....There will be a night when you have had one too many beers. You will enjoy a big tasty. You will have a few more beers. You will see the supreme dog on the menu. You will want to order it. Stop. Drop. Roll the f$@k out of there. It's amazing yes but it is not for you. Not now. Come back another day on an empty stomach. Sober.

I'd say Tasty Burger gives a vibe of an upscale burger eating environment but with really cheap prices. The place is nicely done with modern, pop-art ish burger-related (of course) art pieces. It's a colorful place. And it's very clean. So before I came, I already checked out the menu and was deciding between a Kahuna burger or a Hubba. I went with the Hubba, which is a burger with chili and spicy cheese sauce. My friend ordered a JalapeÃ±o burger. The Hubba is a hot mess. It's wrapped up nicely when they give it to you but once you open it, oh my, you're in for some messy eating. Thank god for the red tray to catch all the chili, cheese dripping madness. The Hubba was satisfying, but I would have enjoyed more chill in it. It was more cheesy than anything else. If you want a cleaner but still spicy burger, I'd go with the jalapeÃ±o. IT'S SPICY!! I think everything's spicy but this time, even my friend who's used to Korean spices thinks so. So BEWARE. If you aren't a fan of red meat, you might want to ask them to cook it more well done. Our waiter informed us all patties are cooked to medium. It was slightly redder than I expected but I like red meat so I didn't mind. We also shared a 50/50 with is a tray of fries and onion rings. Both had a nice crisp to them, but the fries were a bit too salty. The onion rings were really good though and their sweetness very apparent. I'm staying in Boston over the summer. I'm definitely coming back to try the Kahuna burger and sitting in their outdoor seating area.

I really like their take on onion 'rings' and the burgers are great too! They also have a pretty great beer selection for place that has more than 1 location. I've only had the spicy jalapeÃ±o burger, but that alone has convinced me to come back here for another bite of their flavorful, succulent burgers!!

In my previous review, I raved about Tasty Burger. I went last night. Burgers are good, but the after effects are not. My burger was way too greasy and left my stomach feeling uncomfortable. Not to mention service here is very spotty. Because we seat ourselves, unless someone sees you come in, you're going to wait 10 minutes for a menu. We then waited a while for them to take our order. One thing that annoyed me was someone who obviously worked there kept wandering around the restaurant, going in and out and standing by the door looking outside. Instead of helping out by taking orders, there was one waiter to service the entire restaurant. Management really needs to step its game up with quality of service.

Definitely a great spot to eat at any time. The 50/50 is a must and the specials are interesting at the least. Once you become a regular it's fun to venture out and try some of the burgers the fans submit. Great service, great price, great food. A favorite.

ROB L.

The burger was all right. I think I've mentioned it before, but when ordering a burger, I expect the beef to make up a majority of the burger. The burger was really nothing special. I'd have much rather had two or three Five Guys burgers. Robert had a kids meal that came with a regular sized hot dog and small fries. He devoured the fries and a few bites of the hot dog, but that was it. Surprisingly, they carried some 21 Amendment beer on tap! Service was good, everyone was nice to us and very helpful with making sure Robert was well cared for - plenty of napkins.

A good fast food style burger. Simple combinations of ingredients to generate good simple tastes. Expensive for the price. Beer selection is good

Hannah M.

We ordered takeout, so read review with that in mind... Zum Zum hot dogs were good, although a little skimpy on the grain mustard. Sauerkraut was great! Fries were lukewarm, cheese sauce was pretty gross (I could taste flour in it, it was cold, gelatinous and mealy) and definitely not worth $2. Probably a better eat-in than takeout place, but when you're cooped up in the hospital and want a hot dog....

"mmmmm....That is, a tasty burger!" This place is dope! The food is inexpensive and rather, tasty. Go figure. All the condiments you could ask are available at each table. You can indulge in some of their creative burgers or just get a basic burger and you'll be equally satisfied. Give the nitro nuggets a try if you're in the mood for some chicken. I'm a chocolate milk shake fan, but the green monster shake is where it's at. As an added bonus they have a juke box and you can play pool for free. What's not to love? Lastly, it's a burger place, it's probably best to go elsewhere for vegetarian food.

definitely a fan of this place! the burgers are great and their chicken nuggets are to die for! It is the perfect late night spot after a night of drinking. cool dÃ©cor and a laid back atmosphere. Always good times coming from this place.

I have to give the front line staff major kudos for dealing with the massive line of unintelligent drunks that come pouring into this place once the bars start to close. While the service is mediocre after the midnight hour, for which I can not blame anyone (I'd be fired within minutes for being nasty and punching someone who comes to my window), the fact that my friend and I were given burgers that were completely pink inside is pretty inexcusable. Luckily, the rawness of the burgers was made up for with the decent prices (a burger is around $5), delicious toppings, and well-cooked fries. Will I go here again? Of course! You can eat outside, people watch, eventually get something that's edible and much better quality than other burger places that are open late, and the decor rocks. It's a cool place, but please, cook the burgers just a touch more.

Came here after one of my bowling league games. Man, these burgers really ARE tasty. I love truth in advertising. Srsly though, this place is far better than Five Guys as far as I'm concerned. The burger was perfectly cooked, none of my condiments/toppings went shooting out of the back of the burger when I took a bite, and the onion rings - THE ONION RINGS - are amazing. They were the perfect combination of crispy/salty and I probably ate far too many of them but that's okay because bowling counts as exercise, right?

Ali C V.

Tasty B is worth going back to but not for the most amazing burger ever, because it's not there to be found. I'm givin'em... 1 star for service The wait staff and servers were cool. Not the friendliest folks on the planet (this is Boston after all) but really chill, polite, and service oriented (unexpected for a burger joint). 1 star for options - walk, drive, eat-in, take-out, play pool I like the casual charm of the converted gas station; that it's open til 2AM; and that it's a nice walk from my house. I also like that there's some parking to be had when they're not packed. You can order your food at the window for outdoor seating (or to take it to go) or sit inside and have some beer or wine with your food. I sat inside and I liked it. Casual place to grab a bite with a friend. Have a drink. Play some pool. 1 star for value The food value is excellent as you get a great deal more for your $$ than you'll ever get at a fast food chain, BUT... -2 stars for the food - the reason we went in the first place Ordered my burger without onions and got a COLD burger with what seemed like extra onions. Instead of fries, I ordered a side salad and it came to the table made with the driest lettuce I've ever had. I don't know what kind of lettuce it was but it wasn't romaine. I asked my waitress to throw my (cold to the touch) burger back in the microwave a few seconds and she said, "It's cold?" Uh huh. Yup. It was. I don't know what happens between the kitchen and the table but, when I got it back, it wasn't much hotter. Siiiiighhhh I bet you anything that would have been one tasty burger had it been served as soon as it came off the grill.... but that wasn't how it happened. :(

Went right before a Sox game, which was probably not the best time to try a new place. It was impossible to step foot inside and the line to order outside was very long. After about 15 minutes in line, the server efficiently took my order and I paid the (pretty hefty) bill. Drinks were given at the time of order, so the hubs and I looked around for seats. Communal outside seating was minimal - wish they'd ditch a few of the impossible to park in spots and have more outside seating. Wait for food was maybe another 10 minutes - not terrible but certainly not fast food. My burger was well done, but still juicy. The fries were definitely the highlight of the meal and will be the one thing bringing me back. All in all - not amazing. The wait will keep me away during game day but the fries will bring me back on a random fall weekend.

This is a solid place to hang out at in the Fenway area. We meet up with some friends here for a few hours after work every couple weeks. I've been here over a dozen times. Decent burger (not the best in the Boston area, but very good). Their "Starvin' Student" is a great deal: $10 for a Burger, Fries, and a Draft Beer. I love the Kahuna Burger - grilled pineapple and I think BBQ sauce. No liquor; only beer and wine. I'm a cider drinker (don't like beer) and they old have one type of cider (a Crispin English Dry) that I don't like. I wish they had a better drink selection. However, if you're a regular beer drinker, Tasty Burger is just what you'd expect. They have a free parking lot, free pool table, and a nice atmosphere. We like to go here because it accommodates those of us with cars and those taking the train. Service is very sporatic. Sometimes is great and other times it's hard to get a drink refill. We do stay for 2-3 hours, but we'd buy more drinks if they noticed our drinks were empty and asked us if we wanted more.

Warren C.

Tasty Burger is a nice treat after a ball game at Fenway...it's practically right there! Tasty Burger isn't all that clean inside, but it's somewhat passable. Service sucks, but that's not why we come here anyways. The burger itself is good...try not to get it well done because they pretty much burn it. Medium or medium well is a good way to take it I think. If you're seated at the dine-in area, they've got a pool table, some TVs, and a small bar.

Really good burger and fries! We ordered at the outdoor window, our food was ready in about 10 minutes, we sat outside on the picnic tables and enjoyed our tasty burgers!

You know how sometimes the smell of something delicious will grab you by the nostrils and drag you down the street? That's what Tasty Burger smells like. Delicious beef grilling away on an open flame. Ok, so I don't really know if it is an open flame, but you get my drift. I am a big fan of the Kahuna Burger, with grilled pineapple, grilled red onions and teriyaki sauce. And the root beer floats. And the fries. And the beer. Bottom line is, you need to come in. But maybe not when you are in a rush, paying our bill when eating in was a nightmare.

Julia C.

Tasty Burger is kind of growing on me. Scratch the "kind of." I go here almost every week. If you include late night drunk visits to the takeout counter on Friday/Saturday and the Sunday chicken and waffles brunch, it's 2+ visits, every single week. I'm not sure how it happened since I never thought of myself as a burger lover, but Tasty's just kind of became my go-to place in the neighborhood. Good, interesting beer selection (which I grew to appreciate more since outgrowing a mania for cheap beer pitchers - see previous review), consistently delicious burgers, crispy thin-cut fries, buffalo nuggets and raspberry lime rickeys... Tasty's got it all. One small caveat -- I'm still not a huge fan of their thin onion rings, though. Wish they had more onion and less batter. Must tries: The Kahuna (teriyaki and pineapple), Onion, Nitro Nuggets, and the Spicy Jalapeno.

Now, I tend to enjoy TB on an infrequent basis. I grab some takeout on a day off or a late night snack after dancing at Machine. I stopped in recently for a quick lunch because I was in the area. Since it was just me, I told the nice young woman at the door that I'd sit at the bar. When I walked over, the bartender was staring at the televisions. I made a little noise with my chair to signal with him that I was sitting down at his empty bar but he seemed unfazed. The woman from the front came behind the bar, gave me a menu and said "He will be right with you." He proceeded to greet me by not saying hello but staring directly at my chest and saying he liked my tattoo. Ok, whatever, I have wings on my chest and I was wearing a V neck shirt. I get it. But he then launched into a story about tattoos and well, I could only say that his slurred speech made me think he might have been drunk....at noon...I don't know if it was just a speech impediment. I chatted with him politely. I finally was able to interject my order and got the Gorgonzola burger. I realized after it came out that he didn't ask me if I wanted any toppings like lettuce, tomato, etc. I ate it anyway. The grosses part tho was I also saw him dig into the ice with his hands, which made me glad that my Diet Coke came from the back. Yikes, talk about unsanitary! Regardless, I wolfed down my burger and overly salty fries and left pretty quickly simply because I was uncomfortable. I've gotten good food there before. Today's experience, tho, was definitely a one star.

The burgers are good here and I would give them more stars if the girl behind the takeout counter wasn't so surly and the takeout counter wasnt so chaotic. Definitely not McDonald's Uni graduates back there. We placed out order for 2 tasty burgers and chili cheese fries and waited and waited. After the 10 people behind us got their orders including a couple who also had chili cheese fries we went up to the counter girl who finally opened the sliding window after I'd stood there for 5 min - I asked her where my order was and gave her my number - without bothering to check she said we're busy and slammed close the window. She left me no choice but to contact the manager which I never do. When we got our order our fries we cold - brought this to the manager who was sincerely apologetic and quickly brought out the replacement. Also the picnic tables outside need a goid wiping down - they were black with weeks of grime- ugh!

Shannon F.

Ate here before a Sox game... totally hit the spot. We had the standard cheeseburgers - perfect size, cheesy, yummy. Service inside was super fast and friendly. The fries were pretty standard, but the burgers were really good and it was a hot day so the ice cold coke was great.

I was hankering for a juicy burger last night and decided to try this talked about "Tasty Burger". I mean a lot of people I know have been raving how great it is. Ummmmm, but what am I missing? It was meh at the least. Yes, the burgers are cheap. I enjoy a greasy burger from time to time but if the burger itself is thin and greasy. It's a turn off. I like thick juicy burgers.. these are not that. Now I know. I wasn't disappointed with the flavor. The flavor was there. We ordered the 50/50 - When the onion rings came out and they were actually onion strings. I lifted my fists to the heavens and cried!!! I didn't read the fine print on the menu. It does say fried thin onion strings. Or something like that. I guess I like my onion rings like I like my burgers... THICK. hehehe :] (get your minds out of the gutter) The fries were good. I requested some cheese sauce on the side and thank God we did because it would've ruined it. The sauce was grainy and makes me wonder if it was even real cheese. The one thing that saved the entire meal would have to be the vanilla shake. I think I would've drank a gallon of it if I was beast. It made me smile at the end. The service was friendly and quick. Free Parking was a plus!

I'm officially in LOVE with Tasty Burger! I got the Classic Hamburger with a side of Onion Rings -- did not disappoint. In fact, I was really impressed! The Onion rings were thin & crispy (super salty, but to be honest it really just made them taste even better).... burger was juicy & flavorful [you get to choose how well-done you want your burger to be which is a big plus. I got mine just the way I like it: medium-well] Its near Simmons & BU's South campus so great for students when they want something a lil different. If it was a little bit cheaper, i'd go more often but I am definitely a fan. Also, there was only outdoor seating when I went (which was on a pretty cold day). But definitely give them a shot.

Samia O.

What did I do when I craved some Mexican spiciness and a burger? I entertained the idea of getting the Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger, accompanying with a side of fries. Did they pour gasoline on the patty and light it on fire? Because that's what it smelled offensively smoky. Boy, kudos for creativity and efficiency if that's what they did. Disjointed is the word to describe the two components. It wasn't a divorce, it wasn't any dysfunctional relationship, it was just two strangers standing side by side. It was jalapeÃ±o cheese AND burger, not a jalapeÃ±o cheese burger. There were bites that infused my mouth with the smokiness beef, and then there were bites with cheese goo and a hint of spiciness. And yes, my fiance was given the apologetic responsibility of finishing it The piping hot fries saved it from being an abysmal experience. There were delightfully simple and long, no fancy salt-sprinkling or battered coating. One thought appeared as I 'm wrapping this up: I miss you, In-n-Out!

Andrew C.

Great variety of burgers and quick service inside. Wish it had a better beer selection from tap, since I can get the same bottled beer across the street at the liquor store. Also the bill adds up quick ($3 for fries?!), but always tastes great. Be warned that this is the only place in the area open until 2am, so it's usually a long line for take-out after midnight.
(4)
Alie C.

After a night of drinking, this place is the bomb. We could tell when we walked up it was popular. It's open until 2 am, so you can stumble over from the local bars just as they say last call. Having a name like Tasty Burger leaves a lot to live up to, but it doesn't disappoint. It may have been the liquor from the night, but it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. I will be craving this place for a while and will definitely be back to eat there again when I'm in Boston.

Jalal O.

The Big Tasty burger is a revelation. Every layer is perfect, and the generous ladle of tasty sauce just knocked it out of the park. I've had dreams about that burger... Special shout-out to the fries, which are as perfectly seasoned as any in the country. The only complaint is the service (again, I only got take-out). Both times I've gone, the wait has been erratic and long. Erratic because people who order after me have consistently gotten theirs first. Both times, the favored strangers ordered basically the same items as me and in larger quantities. I only point it out because I'd love to give TB five stars, and that's my only beef.

Dan P.

We'll consider this at Stop 7 on the Best Burgers in Boston, although today was my third time going there. This place is great for a quick cheap burger. I've sat down, and had take out and its great either way. The only thing that sucks is parking, yes there are spots, but you have to pay. The burgers are good and interesting. Good combination of taste and creativity. The fries are delicious and so are the onion rings. Today we got the all the way dog which was amazing.

David G.

Went here at the suggestion of a date. Nice casual place for hipsters and college students. Decent burgers, had better, had worse. It was a little too fast food greasy for my tastes but it's pretty much par for the course in a place like this. Would I come here again? With El Pelon so close?!?! Maybe.

Michael R.

The smell is absolutely intoxicating. Every time I'm within a few blocks of Fenway Park, the allure of Tasty Burger is always almost too much to handle. I just only wish their burgers tasted as good as they smelled. I just got a chance to try the Big Kahuna Burger recently, and it really just didn't work for me. The sweet/smoky combo, which is something that works in burgers most of the time, just didn't work for me here. The ratio of sweet to smoky really just didn't do it for me here. I ate about half to 3/4 of my patty, and discarded the rest. However, I definitely have to acknowledge the awesome student discount deal they've got, and the face that they're open late is always a desirable trait for a restaurant within a stumble from some of Boston's most popular bars. Perhaps I just had an off night. I'd definitely be willing to give Tasty Burger another chance, but I really wasn't all that impressed on my first Tasty Burger go-round.

Jonny C.

This place is just fucking rad. I will drop a four star spot on this place despite being largely underwhelmed by the burger. Just a cool space, a former service station turned 50's style purveyor of burgers, fries, shakes - you get the drill. Great selection of burgers from the simply sublime to the ridiculously decadent. Something was lost in translation though, as I wasnt thrilled by the overall flavor of the burger (Jalapeno cheeseburger). I believe that they claim that each burger is 6oz, but that seemed a stretch. Also, be sure to ask for lettuce, tomato etc. because on the specialty burgers, it is assumed you don't want the accoutrements unless specifically mentioned. Amazing milkshakes - I know it sounds stupid, but it was literally like drinking really good ice cream. Super friendly staff, genuinely happy to be there. A sick digital juke box. A pool table. A full bar. The manager/ proprietor is this awesome mix of Paul Bunyan and a 50's biker - and was stoked on everyone coming and going and made sure that the entirety of the clientele felt legitimately welcomed. Parking. In Fenway. Wow. The most amazing selection of table condiments ever assembled: Ketchup, Mustard, BBQ, steak sauce and Sriacha! Awesome Samuel L. Jackson ("That is a tasty burger") in Pulp Fiction piece of art ( I forgot the artist's name, but he did a similarly awesome one of Burt Reynolds that is hanging in the Blue Room in Kendall Square) It is just fun to eat here, and you will leave full and not feeling ill, despite devouring the better part of a small calf.

A simple idea: good food, fast, fresh, and tasty. Got the student deal: beer, burger + fries for $10, saves you about $2. Definitely coming back again!

In its former life this location was a Mobil station. What they've done to it is extremely cool. You can order take out at a window outside or you can venture inside to the seating area with wait service. Here it used to be 2 service bays for oil changes; the garage doors are still there and rolled up on nice days. Now you'll find tables, a full-size bar (beer & wine license), even a pool table. Burgers ARE tasty. This is what a Shake Shack burger wishes to be when it grows up. Patty is 1/3 lb. and generously seasoned. They normally cook to medium here (Reminder: when we're talking beef, MED means a pink center). If you prefer a more cooked patty, just tell 'em. Very good sesame seed bun. Plenty of different choices for burgers and all are a good value at an average of $5. They come wrapped in oh-so-cool PleatPaks making for neat and sanitary eating. Tasty Sauce is combo mayo/relish. Chili tends towards salty. Fries are perfectly crisp outside (cornstarch?) while still staying soft. They are skin-on and cut McD's size. Onion rings are thin and battered as opposed to crumbed. They give plenty, as 1 basket is more then enough to share. Cheese, if you choose to accept, is a real deal sauce and not some Velveeta ooze. Sausage gravy is another very nice option. Another burger joint that makes a genuine shake. Ice cream, milk, malt. A nice thick, smooth pull. Thank you very much. Beers on draft are basic. Lots of cans from small and craft breweries; it's a well-thought out list. Service is quick and efficient even on Red Sox game days. Open late until 2 am. Did I mention this is a cool place?

Susan R.

Ugh. For what it is- this place is ok. A fast food burger joint, open til two, right near Fenway Park. Think about what that might be like. Got a picture in your mind? Well, surprise!...That is EXACTLY what it IS like. I went for lunch today and might feel gross for a week, but at 1:30 am... I bet it would seem like the best burger ever. 3 stars are due to the fact that they offer 50/50 fries/rings and a small beer selection.

Good ole greasy bacon cheeseburger cooked to perfection! Don't order a hot dog. You'll be disappointed. The onion rings are onion strings and yummy. When I have relatives in town, we go here. Everyone loves it.

We found ourselves down wind from Tasty Burger the other night, around 11pm. Sure, we had eaten dinner around 7, and we're not particularly hungry as we left the theater, but it just smelled SO. GOOD. We got take away, and after ordering, and watching the previous orders being picked up. We felt stupid for not ordering onion rings or fries. THEY LOOKED SO GOOD! It IS tasty. They do not lie. I got the jalapeno burger, and a root beer float. I was totally satisfied by this meal.

Brooke R.

Fantastic hamburgers! Amazing onion rings!! This is a great place to catch a bite before you tour Fenway Park. This place was hopping from the time we got there until the time we left. Our food came out quick and hot. However, it did take a while for our order to be taken by our waitress...she was the only one working the enitre dining room of about 20 tables. WARNING: the burgers are cooked medium, not well done, unless you specify otherwise. Normally, I would hate a well-done piece of meat, but being pregnant I cannot eat undercooked ground beef. Just be aware before you order.

Lisa B.

I'm giving Tasty Burger five stars in the "burger joint" category. LOVE this place!! It's close to my apartment, so my boyfriend and I checked it out on a whim. I think he got a double cheeseburger with avocado, and I got a veggie burger. We split the onion rings/french fries. He thought his burger was GREAT! Greasy enough, but not gross at all. My bean burger was pretty good, too. I'm usually not a bean burger fan (I like veggie burgers that have vegetables in them), but this one was tasty. The onion rings are very thinly sliced and the french fries are comparable to Burger King or Wendy's. This is a compliment, since I think BK and Wendy's kicks McD's butt :P We ate inside, but it looks like the inside was fun, too. Check it out!

Rachel E.

I love tasty burger! The food is great and reasonably priced. This visit, we tried the original tasty burger and the "after school special". Both were extremely satisfying and cooked to perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. And gay friendly! 5 stars.

Veronica B.

There's not much to say other than this is the best burger I've had in the US, maybe even in the world. Every time I've had food from here it's been consistently perfect, super cheap, especially when compared to similar chains like 5 guys (but way better burgers in my opinion). Unfortunately I don't live in Boston anymore and I'm going to miss the burgers from here so much!

Aleeza L.

I've been here three times now. 1 - Ate inside with 2 friends. They got the student special (burger and beer) and I was still on my chili cheese fries quest so I got the cheese and gravy fries and onion rings. Service was pretty good. Nothing noteworthy, he was just a dependable guy. From what I heard, the burgers were pretty good (sorry, I cannot remember what they got). Beer was good. Cheese and gravy was alright - the gravy could have been tastier (it seemed like it was from those instant gravy packages) and thicker. It was a bit watery and made my fries mushier faster. Otherwise, still a good time. 2 - Take out! Their mint-chocolate shake was terrible. Very minty, but it had chocolate chips that threatened to kill me after I tried to suck it through the straw too hard. =[ The chili cheese (yes, I'm obsessed) dog didn't travel too well back to my place (chilicheese e'erywhere) but it was still delicious. 3 - Take out! Sack of cheezburgers. I'm not sure if I was just hungry or what, but they were the best plain burgers I've ever had. Kind of soggy bun with everything falling out of the burger, but it was still delicious. Cooked mid-rare served with lettuce and tomato. Yum. I'm craving one now. Overall, it's a solid burger place near Fenway. Way better than any fastfood burger, but don't expect to be wowed by presentation. Just close your eyes, take a bite, and enjoy some good American food. =P

June-Young C.

This place is alright. The burgers have a lot of flavor, and you can tell they are definitely grilled. I'd have to disagree with some people since I thought the burgers were a little small. Was still starvin after getting the starvin' student combo, which comes with a cheeseburger, fries, and a beer. At each table, there are a ton of sauces- even sriracha?!!? They have a challenge to eat a 1/2 pound hotdog with a cheeseburger and a bunch of other things stuffed in it. Lots of choices of beer, in a can no less.
(3)
Andrew P.

The food is great! I typically get the Hubba Burger and it is one of the best burgers I have ever had. My one major problem with this place is the service. It is never consistent, sometimes you go in and you're taken care of right away other times your meal takes an hour.
(4)
Tony K.

March 19, 2015: Downgrading one star because the parking is an illusion, at least during the work week when they seem to sell the spots to local businesses. Plus, with deep snow banks still lingering, there was no on-street parking. No parking, no Tasty Burger for us today!

Minju K.

This is my go-to fast food burger place in the area. it's a great place to come at night to drink beer, have fun with friends to watch sports or play pool (free). The line can be a bit long but if you come during the weekdays, it shouldn't be that bad. They have great burger deals but I go with a burger (forgot the name) with a fried egg. that's my absolute favorite burger. If you are in the area, def check out this place! affordable, chill, and yummy.
(4)
Wendy T.

So affordable and delicious! Seriously THE best find in the Boston area. My favorites are the fries and onion rings. My god it actually tastes like onion rings for once and not just heavily fried dough. For extra points, get spicy cheese sauce on the side for dipping burgers and pretty much anything else.

Jenny N.

Tasty Burger is aptly named! It also has a kind of West Coast vibe, which is interesting for a burger joint located right outside Fenway. A nice change of pace, I say. We came on a Saturday night and while it was busy, our group of four was seated promptly. The beer selection was kind of boring, so I skipped the suds for a lime mint slushie, which tasted exactly like a non-alcoholic mojito. YUM! It was definitely made with fresh mint, which is most excellent. I wonder if they would make an alcoholic version as well? Could be quite popular in the summertime...but I digress. We all ordered different burgers. I had the "blue collar" which was a batter fried patty topped with honey mustard sauce. A little too salty but otherwise tasty. I really enjoyed the soft and substantial sesame seed bun which was well suited to the burger. The boy had a double "hubba" burger, which was two patties smothered in a homemade chili. Delicious yes, but extremely messy to eat. We also shared a 50/50 basket of fries and onion rings. The portion was perfect for sharing. Now, I don't usually enjoy onion rings, but these were finely cut sweet onions and perfectly crispy. The fries were also done just to my liking--soft on the inside, crisp on the outside. Our friends also ordered the side of chips with homemade guacamole and hummus. Again, great execution here, although they could've maybe offered another scoop of guac and hummus since we had way more chips left over than dip. Everything tasted fresh and came piping hot out of the kitchen. This is especially key for fried fast food. Overall, the value was not bad given the portion size and quality. I do wish they offered free parking to patrons, but I think they charge $6. I would probably avoid coming down here on game days since it'd likely be mobbed and impossible to park, but it's nice that they have a takeout window and patio seating for warm weather al fresco dining. I was a little puzzled over the mixed reviews, but I can only surmise that the management made some thoughtful changes upon early customer feedback. Bravo, Tasty Burger!

Another fun burger place in Boston. It seems burger joints are the trend in this region. I feel for the vegetarians; this place is quick, fun and perfect for a summer night heading to Fenway Park! Comparatively to other burger places, this hits the spot; good burgers, beer and resolve to your hunger. I do have to say, I wish they offered heartier fries. The type you would find at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Stopping by Tasty Burger before a Sox game beats the food and high prices of Fenway, too! Thumbs up from me. . . Enjoy!

Forget all of the special burgers. Don't even look at them. Stop it.... Stooooop it...! What you want, what you really really want, is the just the plane jane Cheeseburger. Get it. Don't be sad because you're not getting teriyaki sauce or pineapple or crazy stuff like that. Be happy because your getting the best $4 cheeseburger this side of In-N-Out.

Great place to go to after going to the club/bar, a concert at the House of Blues, the game at Fenway, or just in general on a late night. Always a good time with great burgers.

I came here on a non-Red Sox Saturday night with my boyfriend, despite having the worst dining experience of my life across the street at Citizen Public House, which is owned by the same parent company. But we wanted something super casual and chill, so we decided to sit in the outside dining area so that we could order a pitcher of light beer. I ordered a veggie burger and he ordered a normal burger, and we ordered some fries to share. And a pitcher of Miller Light. The food was quite good, and the price was fair and not blow-your-budget-levels, which I appreciate. Halfway through our meal, a very large beetle of some sort started a-swimming in our beer, so we fished it out humanely and put it on the table next to us and explained to our server that we had just pulled a beetle out of the half-full pitcher of beer we had in front of us. I asked if he could just maybe get us another half-pitcher since it was sort of yucky, and I thought he understood that we weren't asking to pay for another pitcher. So he took it away half full, then brought a full pitcher. And then charged us for it. Sigh...that wasn't what we had in mind. What ever happened to "doing the right thing when it comes to service"? I guess it went out the window. The bathrooms are gross and inappropriate for what I thought was an affordable family meal for game-goers. It belongs in a seedy nightclub, with walls riddled and defaced with copious amounts of graffiti. Honestly, little things like this are incongruent with the rest of the restaurant's image. And not that anyone else other than I, would notice this, but they would absolutely fail a surprise visit from the fire inspector, as the back hallway with the restroom was 70% blocked with dozens of delivery trays of burger and hotdog buns stacked along that back hallway, and of course, the back exit door. Sort of sketchy. It's okay.....

Like a mirage in Fenway park- there it was: Tasty Burger. Open late, serving milkshakes and burgers to the Boston fans, families and drunks alike. I waited in line at 3 in the morning after walking by it earlier that day... me: "Whoa, what's that?" bf: "Tasty Burger" me: "What's a Tasty Burger?".... then I spaced out and fantasized about the endless possibilities of milkshakes,french fries and hot dogs calling to me on my walk home. Low and behold, there I was- waiting behind some of the interesting characters of Boston (that I love.) One woman asked if the burgers were organic..... it was 3 in the morning- that was the least of my concern. They took my name- and I waited outside the mini window for them to yell my name to tell me it was ready. The fries didn't make it home, but the burgers did. And EVERYTHING was delicious. Maybe it was the booze- or maybe they just were absolutely perfect to satisfy the ever present munchies. My dear Tasty Burger, here's a very warm, tasty welcome to the neighborhood.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the name of this establishment is no bullshit, it really is a Tasty Burger" Growing up near Boston, I always went to the Sox games, and as a pre-game ritual, we would always hit up Tasty Burger for some tasty eats. When I went off to college in Ohio, I found myself missing lots of things... Fenway... TD Banknorth Garden... people asking for change in the commons... but one thing I craved insanely was Tasty Burger. As I got older, I appreciated this place a lot more. There is a variety of burgers for cheap, there's a challenge, there's beers, it's open late, what else do you want? It is a great place for pre-game, after game, no game, where you can relax with your friends in a cool atmosphere and talk about the previous night's adventures. Tasty Burger gets a tasty 4 stars from me. P.S. If you're the woman I saw in a full dress sipping wine and eating a burger outside that one time, I like your style.

Tasty Burger has probably the best burger for under $10 in the city. Fast Food prices with restaurant quality. The selection of topping on the burgers is large. I went with the Big Kahuna Burger, inspired by pulp fiction like the entire place, it was cooked perfectly medium rare and it was topped with terriyaki sauce, grilled pineaplle, and some onions. They're french fries are good but their onion rings are my favorite, they are shoe string style. At first glance it may look like a typical fast food joint from the outside but the inside of the place was more of a bar with a hipster crowd, at least the evening I went. They have a takeout window too, and they have an area outside with some patio furniture to eat at.

I went here with my gf and her niece. We wanted to try a good burger place as we have tried a string of bad burgers recently. After reading some reviews we decided to go to tasty burger, which I had seen walking by many times in the past but never had a chance to go into. We tried two burgers, a chili cheese dog, and a veggie burger. All four things were delicious! The hot dog especially it tasted homemade and unique. The burgers were cooked exactly as I had requested (which is a rare thing with restaurants in Boston). Their fires were great just a tad too salty and there milkshakes were good but reminded me a little too much of Mcdonald's milkshakes. Over all it's a great burger joint I'd recommended it and would go again. It's way better then Mcdonald's, Burger King, Uburger, Wendys, good burger, etc.... Try it out!

I first want to thank tasty burger's employees that have to deal with the plethora of drunk idiots on a regular basis. The burgers are perfect after a night out and I believe everyone would agree since the lines are pretty long even late into the night. You might even get some live entertainment while waiting; I've seen a couple parking lot fights. You'll regret eating here the next day but while your eating a tasty burger and your licking the cheese off your arm you will be completely satisfied.

This burger "joint" looks like a joke from the outside. It's in this small building that was clearly (at one time) a former gas station convenience store and repair bay. There is a walk up window where you can order to go without having to actually go in. We were about to walk away figuring that it was another greasy burger place...and then we saw hummus on the menu! Hummus? In a burger stop? We HAD to go in and try it. We went in (there were 9 of us) and got seated fairly quickly. The kids menu doesn't have any choices for vegetarian kids. When I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich for my little one, the server told me that it wasn't on the menu and she didn't think that they could make it for me. (WHAT?!??!?! They couldn't make me a sandwich with cheese and bread???) But, after she went to ask someone, she came back and said that they would be able to make it after all. :) I had a gardenburger, which was decent enough; the fries were good and not too greasy; the prices weren't over-inflated even though this place is (really) a stone's throw from Fenway. While we were really excited about the hummus, it wasn't THAT great. I wouldn't go there just for the hummus. But, I WOULD go there for the atmosphere and a quick bite to eat with friends...and maybe a side of hummus!! :)

You be the judge. From my point of view there were some positives and some negatives; possibly better translated as facts and mysteries. I apologize for this boring review. Because, in fact, I was quite excited about eating here. Was with Burly Burger peeps and had a hankering for a cheap burger. It fulfilled my needs in a no holds barred environment where I could be loud and obnoxious and make a mess of my hands and the floor and the table with a greasy, cheap burger. Facts: + The single patty is a 6 oz'r at $4.5 as a basic cheeseburger. The double is the "better value" as 12 oz'r at $6.0. + The address is ... extremely close to Fenway Park at Boylston and Yawkey Way. + There is a take out window. + The burger is wrapped in gingham-patterned waxy paper. Mysteries: + What's the deal with Omaha Beef and daily in-house grinding? I don't know anything about beef from Nebraska. I knew a guy from Nebraska once. His name is Marty. + Why is the floor in the restaurant so. gosh. darned. slippery?? Did my chair have wheels? + Whatever they do to those onion strings, I couldn't help but like it... Ultimately, in my search for a burger that I love, Tasty B, doesn't quite fit the bill. You can get down and dirty with a burger in any number of non-fast food, but quick fix locations (Uburger, Mr. Bartley's, Four Burgers) and these guys taste just about the same each with their ups and downs. I actually liked the weird scene (Sam Jackson Big Kahuna burger image on the wall, new age diner-industrial atmosphere) at Tasty B, but the burger itself was very forgettable.

Satisfying cheese burger and beer and 50/50. Good fresh cheese, veggies and meat. The only thing I would change would be the bread. Chili cheese dog was inedible, sorry, especially the bun. The JR. was huge.

I'm knocking a star off because Tasty Burger no longer serves that awesome Lime Basil Mint slush drink (I don't recall the actual name, but it is what is actually in there...fresh mint and basil leaves crushed in limey-goodness). I had this drink in November 2011, so I don't know what happened with this change. Why would you take it off the menu?! It's one of the best and freshest drinks I ever had!!!! Can you please bring it back?! The burgers are decent here. I love the Kahuna Burger. The glaze is so yummy and works well with the pineapple! Fries were good too (crispy and hot). HOWEVER, I made a big mistake of adding cheese to the Butta Burger (replaced meat with vegetarian patty)...it was just too much for me to take. Too overwhelming with all of that fat and saltiness to eat! I'm sure it's better in meat format, but the slice of cheese and the butter was super icky. They say butter and cheese usually go well together in cooking...in my case, not this combo. I never ate inside the dining area, so I'll check it out again in the future.

THE GOOD: the burgers, fries, beer selection (pitchers of their drafts are available) THE BAD: the restaurant needs to get rid of the pool table and add a few more actual tables since this place can get crowded; most beer is $4.50/bottle THE UGLY: parking situation (good luck) Girlfriend and I hit up Tasty Burger before a Red Sox game last night and definitely enjoyed it. It's true that the burgers are a little bit greasy, but I've had way greasier burgers many times before. The burgers are only 5oz, so a big dude or gal is gonna kill one and probably want another. A large fry is $3 and is usually big enough to feed two non-obese people. I got a Kahuna burger with pineapple and teriyaki sauce and it was excellent. Would absolutely get it again. Give it a shot if you are going to a red sox game. It's one of the cheapest pre-game restaurants in the area for sure.

I want to really really like this place, but I just sorta kinda like it. A little. I don't know what it is. I like the bar and they have some decent beer options. The bartenders are great. But I always end up feeling sick to my stomach when I come here and I don't know why. Even when I just come for beer. Probably it's because I always end up here after I'm already full of booze. That might have something to do with it. The burgers aren't really all that great. They just taste kinda meh. Maybe it's the meat? I don't know. I like UBurger so much better...but they don't have beer. Ugh, I just can't win.

Ok so the first time I went here it was really busy and late night. I only had 3-4 beers prior to coming here so my taste buds were still on cue. The fries tasted like they had a whole salt shaker dumped on them and the burger was just a run of the mill tasteless mess. Today on the way to work I figured I would give them another shot. It was no where near busy since the sox were horrible this year and are out golfing now. So I ordered their tasty burger, large fries and a shake. The shake was good but nothing to write home about. The fries were cold and still seemed like a pound of salt was dumped on them. Now for the burger. You would expect a place that specializes in burgers would have mind blowing burgers. Quite the opposite. They are stomach wrenching. The bun was soggy, the burger was bland and over all sucked. The staff didn't seem like they cared. One of the staff members was just behind the counter stuffing his face and handling money and then food. So all in all run away from this place!!!

The best inexpensive burgers you will find in a 4 block radius from Fenway. Also they have faith in their product and can make the burgers rare if you want it that way. A meat lovers paradise!

This in my opinion is one of the best burgers Boston has to offer. It was found accidentally after a traipsing through Landsdowne at approximately 2:45am. Best. Drunken. Find. Ever. We ordered from the walk-up window. I can hardly remember what everyone else got, but I got a Gorgonzola burger which was like $5. M got an entire bag of mayo. Yeah, you read that right. She asked for an entire bag full of mayo packets and got it for the reasonable charge of $1.50. Man, the roll is buttery, the cheese is not overpowering, just plain old dericious. Another time the Biff and I went by ourselves and got over the top service from who we surmised was the owner. I got a blanket and free guac and chips out of the visit. I felt like a princess (take notes Biff). So until In-N-Out sells out and comes to Boston, this will be my fav.

Awesome place. I go here for a quick burger. All their burgers are epic, trust me I've tried them all. Cheap beers too. You have to go with the 50-50 fries and onion rings, both are awesome. The walk up window is also key after the bars or if you want a quick burger to go. One of my favorite food spots in Fenway.

Courtney H.

With all the new burger places opening up, I was really impressed with this place! I had been meaning to go there for months and months, and finally we broke down and went. I'm getting hungry just thinking about that onion burger I ate. I actually would probably not use the cheese, thus why the 4 stars, but the jalapeno burger was delicious as well! I was pleased with their beer selection, and didn't think the prices were that bad. I wish I lived closer so we could go here much more. Actually maybe not, since I'd probably gain 20 lbs! But I can't wait to go back next time I'm looking for a good place in Fenway.

Janssen M.

It seems they changed their veggie patty since I last visited and it's far better than the cold falafel. Big chunks of tomato, corn and black beans in the new patty that actually has flavor. Had it on a gorgonzola burger, tasted great and I would go back.

I am often in the area on business. I did some research on places nearby and found Tasty Burger. First off, the ambiance: The building is an old automotive garage with bay doors and a concrete floor, what a perfect backdrop for a real honest-to-goodness burger restaurant. There is a nice bar, comfortable tables with just about every condiment imaginable, and a number of TV's to catch up on what's going on if you''re so inclined. The restaurant is clean, the servers are prompt, courteous, professional, and friendly.. The service from order to table is prompt, The food is excellent, well thought out, presented well, and portions are generous. They offer beer and wine and the daily specials have a recommended beer/ale pairing. The selection of beers, ales, and wines is impressive for a casual venue. They do serve chicken and hot dogs as well, although the venerable burger is their stock in trade. My personal favorite is the Blue Collar burger with a small order of their fries and a nice Belgian White. Prices are quite reasonable. If you are in the Fenway area, looking for a casual atmosphere, real food, and something more than a diet coke, stop in to Tasty Burger.

Quick tip: Very busy. Grabbed a seat right away, but so far not a waiter in sight. Hmmmm. After our waiter finally showed up, we ordered our meal. The drinks - soda and a black-and-white shake - arrived in short order. The shake, I was told, was fantastic. The soda came in a paper to-go cup and was loaded with ice. Was never offered a refill, so I'm not sure if they were available or not. We went for the 50/50 fries/onion rings side. The fries were fantastically cooked; crispy, salty, and tasty. The onion rings were more like strings than rings, but who cares...they were also tasty. Got a decent sized portion of both, too. My bacon burger was decent. The bacon, when I finally bit into it, was delicious. But, when I added my condiments I noticed that it was 'balled' up on the burger and all told was about the size of a quarter. Like I said, when I finally found it and bit into it, it was very tasty. My date went with a cheeseburger and said it met expectations. Both burgers were cooked medium, and were juicy. Not as tasty as I would have liked, but acceptable. Two more quick notes: - the assortment of condiments on the table is awesome; ketchup, mustard, frank's, sriracha, vinegar (for the brits?), and more. - this place needs to hand out wet naps; like I said above, the burgers were juicy, and as a result, very messy. My hands were a mess afterwards and I had to duck into the men's room to lather them up.

It sounded so promising! On the recommendation of Boston Magazine, I ordered the Big Tasty, along with onion rings and a root beer. The burger looked beautiful with crisp romaine and NOT overcooked, just the way I like it. Sadly, not only did the cheese leave much to be desired (I LOVE cheese), but the meat had very little flavor. The special sauce did not help; when I have to add extra ketchup to make a burger taste good, that's a problem. Nice that they use red onions for their rings, but I wouldn't bother as they were so greasy I barely ate half of them. Best part of the meal was the root beer--DELICIOUS! I'm sure as drunk food it would be amazing; as sober food, not so much.

Ohhhh, Tasty Burger, my one and only. Discovered this place about a year ago. It was one in the morning. I was hammered, stumbling home from a club, and out of the mists appeared The Tasty. Ravenous, my boyfriend and I each devoured a couple of burgers and a massive basket of delicious fries. It was amazing--absolutely perfect for what one needs in the drunk munchy category. After hyping this place up to all of our friends, we decided to hit up this spot a) sober and b) during daylight. Surprisingly, we were not disappointed! The burgers were just as delicious, meaty, and filling as we remembered. We tried the onion strings this time instead of friends, and they were heavenly. Pitches are cheap, and the milkshakes are really good, too. All-in-all, a solid burger joint, though the location is a little annoying to get to (the D Line and the 47 bus offer the most convenient stops, though you can walk here from Kenmore Station, too). In the summer, there is outdoor seating and a walk-up counter. Score! Marked down a star because holy SHIT the floor is slippery and their bathrooms are FREEZING.

With its location being right near the entrance of Fenway Park, this Tasty Burger definitely gets busy on game days! Because of limited seating inside, I usually like to order at the window for take out. The burgers are nothing special, but serves well as a cheap and quick bite to eat pre or post-games!

There's a giant mural of Samuel L. Jackson ala "Pulp Fiction" on the wall here. Why wouldn't you like this place? After a night of dancing at Machine down the block and across the street, we mosey'd on over to Tasty Burger for some much needed caloric intake. I opted for the single cheeseburger ($4) and black & white shake (also $4ish) while Margot went for the Gorgonzola double burger and fries. The total for us came to $22 pre-tip, so not too bad. There are two options for ordering here: 1) if you sit inside, you have the benefit of a server, or 2) from the counter outside where you stand around waiting for your food. The food came out SUPER quick, and was surprisingly tasty for how quickly it materialized. My only complaint is that my cheeseburger seemed a bit heavy on the salt, so I probably obtained my sodium intake percentages for the next week or so. The black & white shake was thick and delicious, and had it not been negative subarctic temperatures outside, I would have easily taken it with me to sustain my ever-constant fight with the excuse for a mass transit system that comprises Boston's "T" train. Not as good as U Burger, but certainly not bad if you're in the neighborhood and it's too cold to walk over to the U Burger by BU.

Although, sometimes they get too busy to notice us, the food and value is unbeatable. This is the place to go if you're a poor college student or just want a good deal on a nice meal. Best greasy burgers in town. Just be meticulous when you order your burgers, you literally have to name every single topping you would like on there including lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese because they won't assume that you want those if you do. :)

I'm still laughing about my most recent trip to tasty burger. It's not everyday that your friend gets so upset with the service that she throws her soda across the parking lot. To start off, two friends arrived at the restaurant beforehand and got in line for takeout. Me and three other friends came shortly after and cut the few people that were in line behind them so we could talk. We thought we were eating inside and getting out of line. We didn't. The couple behind us was annoyed (I would be too) so we let them go ahead. Then the havoc began. We all ordered right after each other, but the orders came out randomly. After waiting 15 mins, I got my burger, but got it ahead of the couple I let go ahead of me. Theirs came out another 15 mins later and they were clearly pissed. They soon stopped taking more orders and most of my group's orders were ready out of order over the next 30 mins (remember this is supposedly the fast take-out window). There were other groups who experienced the same issue. After 50 minutes, my friend, the first to order, went up to the window and demanded her food. All of us had been done eating for a while at this point. The worker didn't seem to care and she got a refund. Extremely angry and hungry, she threw her drink and screamed. The manager came out, apologized, and offered to get her a meal for free, which she accepted. We then waited another 15 mins for it to come out, even though others, who had ordered after her, were still getting their meals. He had promised he'd get it right away, but we still waited way too long. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but when you have such a limited menu, how can it take you so long to get someone their order?? How does it make sense to give a burger to the person who ordered 15 mins ago when the person who ordered 50 mins ago is still waiting?!? They're all burgers, so next one off the grill is for the one who's been waiting?? I still don't get what their issue was. Anyway, I did enjoy my burger, so that's why I'm giving it 3 stars.

I've been wanting to try tasty burger for a while so I decided to place an order yesterday before leaving work and grab it omw to my car. Unfortunately I wasn't in the mood for a burger so I got the buffalo chicken sandwich for myself and my mom is a huge burger fan so I got her a bacon cheeseburger. I also ordered the 50/50. Chicken sandwich was good nothing special. Fires and onion rings were like crack (not that I know how crack is). I was in heaven eating those things. Once I got to my mom's house and surprised her with a "tasty burger" she said it was very good but nothing compared to Fuddruckers. I guess I'll be the judge of that when I try one for myself. Service was very slow. I was disappointed which is why they get three stars. I would've given 4 for the fries and rings alone but it was cold and that little heated lamp thingy wasn't doing the job. If you tell me my food will be ready in 10 minutes and I order it at 5pm I don't expect to still be standing at the window at 5:20.

Tasty Burger really sealed the deal for me. For years as a misguided young asshole I'd always proudly preferred giant thick burgers like you get a Irish pubs, but over the years I've found that unless the place does it just right, you're looking at a half a pound of dryness. Part of that is my own fault too because with the increasing incidence of e-coli outbreaks I've moved from medium rare to medium for my burgers, so unless the meat's super fatty... well... half a pound of dryness. Tasty Burger is one of these fast-foodish kind of burger places that cooks thin patties on a griddle... yeah those little buggers are just sitting there bubbling away in their own fat, the rascals! ... and so when I ate there (and seriously I woofed mine down in like 30 seconds) I was like "you know what, I'm now a skinny patty on the griddle burger guy, hands down!" So thanks for opening my eyes, Tasty Burger!

Man, I wish this was open when I was in college. This would have been a regular late night drunken stop for me. Beer and burgers sounds perfect after a night on the town. Anyway, came in with some coworkers for lunch. If you want a healthy meal, do not come here. They offer only burgers, dogs and fries. No veggie burgers, no turkey burgers. It's beef or nothing. All of the burgers looked really good, but I opted for a hot dog, mysteriously. The bun was pretty crappy, but the dog itself was delicious topped with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. I got a "junior" dog and it was still super filling. We ordered a basket of fries for the table and it was more than enough to feed four people (if you're not ridiculously hungry). The atmosphere is really casual and well decorated. By the way, they call the hot dogs "shafts" here so ordering was absolutely hilarious. Even the waitress laughed.

"Hamburger! The cornerstone of a nutritious breakfast.." That's if breakfast is at 1AM or for Sunday brunch. The meal I had was not nutritious, but boy was it tasty! Tasty Burger falls into that burger joint category of paying for a better tasting/quality burger than McD's and BK (i.e. 5 Guys, 5 Napkins, UBurger). I've only been to 5 guys, and for me it wasn't worth it. Tasty Burger was worth it. I had the the double Big Kahuna. I like Pulp Fiction. I like pineapple. The burger was greasy, flame broiled, with a pinkish center, and big slice of red onion and pineapple, with bbq sauce. I typically add a ton of ketchup to my burgers to balance out the beef taste, but I didn't need to do this with the Big Kahuna. I like the Big Kahuna. I had the 50/50 fries and onion rings. I'd stick with the onion rings only next time, not because the fries were bad (they were fine), but the onion rings had a buttery/flaky battering which I loved. They also serve beer by the glass or pitcher, and were serving Kona stout beer, loved it! I'm definitely a fan!

Great selection of ways to take a few days off your life! I'm not a fan of the flat patties... but when you deep fry them, or smother them in blue cheese or cheddar cheese .... yeah you get the idea. the shakes are actually really good here. And I love the outdoor seating.

Tasty burger, great fries, awfully disorganized crew during a busy Monday. It took over 30 minutes to get my order, and I had to approach them about it; otherwise, my order would have slipped through the cracks. Tastes great, though.

Was not impressed with this place at all.. Don't know which was worse the food or the service.. if I had to choose though probably the service. I love going out for a good burger in Boston as there are a number of places that serve pretty decent burgers. Swung by here last night with a couple of my friends and right from the start something was off. Servers looked kind of annoyed with my table, really just dropped our waters down, and we waited a little too long for the food to come out. I went with my staple, a bacon cheeseburger which turned out to be extremely lackluster. The meat was really salty and I wasn't a fan of the bun or the cheese. Tasted like something from burger king at a premium price. All I'm asking is how can you mess up a bacon cheeseburger... what The sides aren't anything to rave about & I even tried some of my friend's chips & dip (nachos?) platter.. Chips kept breaking halfway so there really was no point. If that were all I probably would have rated this place closer to 2/3 stars (on a generous day) but when we tried to pay, the server gave such an attitude with the way we were trying to split the bill.. Cash first & then card? Not really that difficult to do but okay.. If you want a decent burger go to Uburger in Kenmore and if you want some GOOD sides (fries/onion rings) check out Yardhouse like a block down. Definitely won't be coming back!

I will return another time after intoxication from local bars. I was excited to pass Tasty as others raved. Parking didn't appear awful to those who drive, street can be hit or miss and private lot is small. There's a big parking lot next door I have no idea about, though I'm sure you have to pay. Prices were good but do not look for healthy item choices here. Quite a variety of burgers and hot dogs, only really weak onion rings. Chain burger joint, it is, though cool atmosphere with inspirational art.

This message is long overdue! This is a review of their excellent customer service! A year ago the night my sister had just given birth to my niece I called up and tried to place an order for some sandwiches. She had the biggest craving and I was originally told that they didn't do call ahead. When I explained the situation I was immediately told that they would fill my order! When I got there to get my order I was told it was on the house and congratulations to my sister! My sister and brother-in-law enjoyed every bite of their tasty burgers at Brigham & Women's Hospital on Sat. May 26th! Thanks for being so kind!

Greasy delicious burgers with toppings for under $6. Basket of fries and onion rings costing $4. Serving up all the way hot dogs smothered in chili and cheese.Thick creamy milk shakes $4. All while serving alcohol and open till 2AM. Yes, you have stopped my heart dead in its tracks Tasty Burger. I don't quite know if that is from a heart attack or my love of their food, but this makes for a great late night or pre/post game place to grab a bite. However, minus one star for the limited selection of beer. I hate being teased like that.

My dinner group recently ate at Tasty Burger, and gave it 3.5 stars each for food, decor, service and overall (rounded up to 4 on here), in summary: Food was considered to be universally good. "Burgers were fantastic, messy, and artery-clogging." However, some found the music to be a highlight as they heard their "favorite song from the fourth grade: Bay City Rollers' Saturday Night." Despite the multiple reports of indigestion, pretty much every gave consistent marks in all areas. Most people said they would return for other visits to try more food. Individual diner comments follow: - "I'm a total sucker for dive restaurants with good food. I thought this place stood out because they know what they do well and stick with it. The interior was ok, but generic. The loud jukebox was the saving grace. I'd go back in a minute, though I'm fairly certain my heart will stop if I do." - "I'm still digesting the Blue Collar Burger (a double, batter-fried, with cheese)...it was good, but I paid for it all weekend. The highlight was hearing my favourite song from the 4th grade, the Bay City Rollers "Saturday Night"." - "A loud, fun, cheap and welcoming place that knows what it is: a burger joint. No pretensions at anything more. The burgers are fantastic, messy and yes, artery-glogging. The onion strings are perfectly done. Service was friendly and helpful, and the cozy alove near the pool table was just right for our group of 10. My only issue is some of the more messy burgers need a knife and fork and they are served in paper-lined basket. Trust me, ask for a plate instead." - "The gorgonzola burger was excellent. I would certainly head back to try others. The service was friendly and the food and drinks came promptly." - "No more ordering veggie burgers at burger joints for me. This one was salty and crusty, and I drooled as I watched everyone around me with grease flowing down their chins. I liked the variety of burgers, and the 'what you see is what you' get vibe. I liked our waiter, who also seemed to be an Air Supply fan, and the picnic tables outside." - "This is a classic home-town burger joint. The food is tasty (someone pass me a statin). The ambiance is also classic burger joint - definitely a place to hit before a sox game." - "A fun place to just hang with people. A little loud to be able to talk to one another but by no means a bad experience. And cheap enough for me to be able to buy two different things. Very nice."

The best burgers I've had in my whole life. It's one of my favorite spots in Boston. My best friend (who doesn't usually like burgers) called me at midnight one night because he HAD to tell me about the most amazing burger he ever ate. So, when I went the next weekend I had extremely high expectations and was still blown away. The burgers are juicy and affordable and they even have milkshakes! They also have free trivia on Monday nights! There's no better way to spend your Monday night.

Great staff, food, and experience. I love the table set up on the far wall adjacent to the red hot pool table. Full panoramic view which includes, Fenway Park, friends gathering in a nook with a chalk board, direct view down the bar, and Samuel L. taking a bite out of pixel art. Home now has competition, because Im feeling it here.

Disclaimer: I came for the hot dog, and this review is based on the dog I was served. I really like hot dogs, I came here doing research for my Yelp Hot Dogs list. My son got a burger and he LOVED it, maybe this would be a four star review if I had ordered a burger. The hot dog was just OK. I'm pretty sure it was grilled, but there was only scant evidence of this on the dog. The bun felt as if it had been toasted, and it was a little warm, but again there were no visible signs of it being toasted. The flavor of the grilling did not make it to the dog. The dogs were big and it was good meat, the buns were big quality stuff, there is some potential here, but there is no love going into the dogs. Next time I'll order a burger, my son and I suggest you do the same.

I hope the manager reads this since he was standing right there messing with the satellite while this guy was being the worst bartender in Boston. I ordered a pint of Notch. It was forgotten. I got the attention of the mgr after about 6 or 7 mins. The bartender then noticed and hopped on it. He poured a pint of Longtrail, right in front of me, I asked 'is this Notch', he said yes. I left. I used to love this place. What happened to Natasha and Amy? Business lunch people don't have time to F around on a weekday. We're not going to a ballgame. I'll try back in a few weeks.

This place is terrible and is just another ode to the lack of a great burger in Boston. I am unsure why bostonians are not as passionate about food as in other major cities but they really just don't care. Giving this place a 5 for the rubbery premade patties, with boring and flat buns and store bought cheeses with microwaved bacon is a testament to the lack of accuracy of yelp in this particular city.

Best burger ever, knocks Uburger off its pedestal for best fast food burger in Boston. Only negative is that they have stopped the frozen drinks, really fancied a lemonade to soothe my hangover!

It only took one visit for this to become one of my top three go-to burgers. Love the fries, love being able to get half fries/half onion rings. Also love being able to get a fried egg on my burger!

After dropping by the BIDC hospital in the Longwood medical area, we came here with our son, a recent Northeastern graduate, for a quick lunch before heading to the airport. The service was quick and the food was very good for a burger place. We ordered burgers and the 50/50 fries/onion ring mix. All of us prefered the onion "strings". We liked that fact that we could order the burgers medium and they were still pink and juicy inside! (Our son likes it because it's open late after hockey practice/games and has good, reasonbly priced food.)

Rebecca R.

Okay, i'm not sure how serious people should take this review. I found myself at Tasty Burger around 2:30 am after a night out with friends, we don't need to go into details. I ordered a cheeseburger and regular fries. Fries were nice and hot with just the right amount of salt and the burger was juicy and good to the last bite. The line was long and there was quite a bit of waiting time, but I can see why. Definitely a great late night snack post cocktails! Staff was super friendly and I'm sure its not always easy as people who have to wait can become quite ignorant. Prices were good and I love that you can walk up, order, and walk away with hot tasty food! Tasty Burger - until next time!

It's good for a cheap, quick burger before the game or if you're a broke ass college student, like myself. They have a couple of deals where you can get a beer with your burger which is nice and the milkshakes are pretty good. Usually, the staff is pretty nice and almost always fast. I have seen them be pretty rude when they're really busy. They definitely don't go out of the way for guests, but I can't really blame them. You get what you pay for and if all you're paying for is a $6 burger and a couple of PBR's then it's really not fair for customers to expect service to exceed their bill amount.

The perfect place to go to after a night out. It's open to late and the burgers just hit the spot. I had the burger with jalapeno and it was great. I go with a bunch of friends after going to a club and we're never disappointed. The bread is great, the meat is tasty and the cheese is always melting and delicious. Easy parking and good location as well, easy to access and pretty central. The place is packed with customers after a red sox game, so the ambience is always lively. One of the better places in Boston. Good music too.

I've been here twice now. The first time I had the chili burger and cheese fries and they were awesome! The second time I was feeling healthy and got the salad which was supremely lame, but I should have seen that one coming. The menu is amazing but def not a place to go if youre feeling healthy. Also had the green monster milk shake last time I went and that was great too. The staff is really nice and attentive and trivia here is fun. Also the bar area is cute. Def will keep coming back.

Susan C.

I always feel like I'm going to have a heart attack after eating here, but yet I can't stop coming back. The burgers are delish and I love their fries. I recently tried the chili cheese dog, and that was great as well, the chili wasn't extremely beany like at some places. It went great with the root beer float.

Seriously, they have a Bad Mother Fucker on one wall ( Samuel L Motherfucking Jackson) and a Bad Mother Fucker on another wall (John Motherfucking Belushi). That's worth 3 stars alone right there. So, I kinda have a bit of a beef with these guys (pardon the pun). I've always wanted to do a no-frills kind of joint in an old garage. I know, I'm not the first guy to think of it, but just about everything these folks do is exactly the kind of place I wanted to run. That being said, they do a pretty damn good job of running this joint and it hits the spot. The burgers are fast-food fare done right. Truly tasty, and in front of you before you can finish your first beer. Speaking of beers, they have a great selection, and although the prices definitely reflect the location, they aren't unreasonable. I've tried 4 or 5 of their various burgers and burger specials, and they're all good, but I tend to gravitate towards the classic: bacon cheeseburger. The bacon is crisp, the patty is juicy, and it all works nicely. The fries are seriously good shoestrings, and you can pair them with onion rings if you're so inclined. I used to get the 50/50, but I really dig the fries and tend to split a basket with my lady friend. Some other standouts are the gorgonzola, the jalapeÃ±o, and the Kahuna burger. The chips and dip are great, when you don't feel like fries, and the dogs all look pretty stellar as well. The bar staff ranges from really friendly and cool to stoned/I don't give a fuck, but I've never once had bad service here.

Okay, I know that there's a huge West Coast/East Coast rivalry between In N Out & Five Guys (and then there's the NYC cult favorite, Shake Shack)....but where does Tasty Burger fit in?! I have to say I really liked it. I basically eat In N out everyday when I'm home in California and I made Shake Shack a second home in when I interned in NYC aaaannnd I've been to Five Guys like...twice (clearly not a favorite of mine) so I have a pretty good handle on the competition and Tasty Burger is up there. Anyways, my thoughts: The service is great! The staff is nice, the food comes out quickly and I'm pretty sure they've hired a few part-time magicians because I never once saw someone fill my water glass but---voila---it was always full. Sneaky. The burgers are AWESOME. I know this sounds kind of weird but the bun is literally like those $400 pillows you fall in love with at Bed Bath & Beyond but could never afford in this lifetime. So soft and plush. The meat is cooked PERFECTLY every single time and their specialty burgers have amazing flavor. My favorite is the Spicy JalapeÃ±o but I'm sure I'll add a few more to that list next time I go. The only reason I couldn't give this place 5 stars is because they use that cheese that is reminiscent of melted plastic. It might not actually be the cheap stuff but....it sorta tastes and has the consistency of it so I can only take a few bites of the Cheese Fries until my body protests. Overall, great experience though!

This place is so good. These burgers are so...tasty. Having spent many years in California, I developed a love affair with In-N-Out. Tasty Burger is the closest thing to In-N-Out in Boston, with a similar kind of thin beef patties, in a neat little package. I've tried the blue collar burger here, which is a deep fried burger patty with blue cheese, and though it probably shaved years off of my life, it was so delicious. The buffalo chicken sandwich was also very good. As other Yelpers have recommended, the onion strings are quite good, and Tasty Burger is also one of the cheaper places in the area for a pitcher of beer, if you're just looking to knock down a few beers with friends.

Post-Sox game. Had a regular hamburger & fries, with a draft beer. I think it's better than Shake Shack and Flat Patties. The patty has more texture and flavor. The bun has a bit for heft and doesn't fall apart, which is what happens at the other two places. Have never had the fries at Flat Patties, but Tasty's were definitely better than Shake Shack's. Worth the detour or a stop before/after a Sox game.

Good clean fun on a weeknight. My friend Alyson makes better burgers at home, but this place is packed and has got sports, Top Chef, and cartoons on the TV screens + great music (Elvis, Michael Jackson). Great place to dine solo at the bar. Bathroom was clean but cold (and decorated--wal art). All in all, a good experience.

Andrea B.

Their burgers are good but nothing special. They have a ton of choices, and the daily special that they post on Facebook is always really creative (how does a burger topped with peanut butter, chocolate covered bacon, and fried plantains sound?) so I can't complain too much. And I got a tasty burger (ha, ha) with chili, spicy cheese sauce, and sweet onion, and a chocolate milkshake for ten dollars. So if it's 1 in the morning and you're looking for a decent burger and beer, this is your spot. If you're looking for the best burger in town, go home, go to bed, and go to Radius for their burger tomorrow.

Getting into Boston around 1pm, my Aussie visitor looks at me to say "I'm starving. I'd be really keen on having something American. How about a burger? But somewhere different; I don't want Maccas" Enter: Tasty Burger Alright, so this was a no brainer because I'm fairly sure if I fell down my front steps I would end up in the Tasty Burger parking lot, but I still think it fit the bill perfectly. The awesome decor, decent beer selection, great waitstaff that was attentive when we wanted something but left us to chat for a while, and delicious food left a great impression on my friend. She laughed as she ate her first American meal but agreed that this place was exactly what she was looking for. After two burgers, a split order of 50/50 that we could barely even make it through, a beer, and a huge milkshake we left entirely too full. And the bill was less than $25.

Elsie F.

Casual place good for hanging out with friends or a lunch with co-workers. Colorful art line the interior, giving this place a youthful/modern vibe without going overboard. Had the Kahuna Burger --pineapple, teriyaki sauce and caramelized onions-- which was a little on the sweet side but still tasty and juicy. It's a fun place if you're looking for something low-key and not too expensive but still nice.

Doesn't compare to Five Guys. Fair to good burgers. Limited toppings. The fries were terrible (threw them away, yuck). Fenway location is full of attitude for a QSR. Did I mention that Tasty Burger doesn't compare to Five Guys?

Wow- we're from St Louis and were blown away by this food (for its price point). My husband had the Blue Collar burger and said it was the best burger he has ever had. The fries and chocolate shake were also incredible, as was our waiter.

Basia P.

Some might not agree, but I think these are the best burgers ever! So far I tried hamburger, Cheeseburger, Onion and the Gorgonzola one [If you like veggies on your burger make sure to ask for them otherwise you end up with the buns, patty, and lots of gorgonzola]. I think the gorgonzola is my favorite so far. I love their fries!

Mia S.

After Eagles deli went down the drain with their remodel, I didn't really have a go-to burger joint for a long while. Thankfully, Tasty Burger opened in Fenway to fill the void and my belly. It's like a dressed up fast-food burger and it is delicious. The Hubba burger and the chocolate shake is what hits the spot for me. Good place for a casual dinner or quick lunch.

Bret C.

Went back for a third try and unfortunately the place continues to miss the mark. The burger was soft/soggy in the middle. The portions of the fries are far too big and the fries themselves are tasteless. Continues to be ever so slightly too pricey even though it's come down a bit. The whole "Take out window" with no seating outside is awkward. Why can't we just order at the window and sit at the restaurant? Table service for this place is unnecessary and more of an inconvenience than service.

This is my first Yelp review, and since I have spent extensive time here...I can think of no better place to start chatting then on Tasty Burger. As a former employee of the company, I can personally say there is barely any bad things to say about this establishment behind the scenes or out in the dining area. Let's keep this as easy on the eyes as possible. Pros: !-Atmosphere-! When walking down Boylston St., the outside retro look of Tasty is quite eye catching and a gem among a pile of old New England brick foundation. The building practically draws you in just on sheer curiosity along at first glace. Upon entrance, the old garage turned restaurant gives a very open and airy industrial feel...combined with the colorful pop art, sit down bar, good music and casual college/working crowd is very trendy and suave. !-Service-! The staff at Tasty has always been my reason for continued service and my loyalty when working with the company. Lem, Marina, Brent, Greg, Michelle, Cam, Miguel, Paul to name a few, are great personalities that that suit the atmosphere of Tasty well. Always a friendly, helpful, and hard working bunch of people who know how to treat their guests right. !-Bar-! - 3 HD's with 3 different channels to suit your taste. A good selection of common & un-common brews, as well as a fair selection of local brews which taste great. !-Food-! Original and creative daily specials, wide variety of topping combinations. From some various reviews I saw, people spent time complaining about the greasy pool the burgers and sides are left in...I found this enthralling and to be apart of the grilled burger experience...Burgers and Dogs are supposed to be messy and greasy. Ironically Enough, even though the place is "Tasty Burger", The burgers are my least favorite. The award here goes to their Dogs, Onion Rings and Shakes. If you want to leave with a full belly and a burp of satisfaction, order a 1/2 pound dog and strings. You won't be disappointed. Suggested favorites here include: Hubba Burger w/ Bacon Blue Collar Chicken and Waffles Special Lettuce Wrap Turkey Burger All-The-Way Dog Chili Cheese Dog w/ Gauc !-Convenience-! If you are going to a Red Sox game, DO NOT BUY FOOD AT THE GAME...take a little extra time, walk up to the Tasty Take-Out Window and order some food that is 2x cheaper. Tasty is conveniently right next to Fenway Park Gate D. With Tasty's fast service and fair prices, you can easily grab a full meal within 5-10 mins and be back at Yawkey way before you can say "That's a good Tasty Burger" CONS: There has only been 2 things that have ever bothered me about Tasty. 1. The normal hamburgers/cheeseburgers are bland and tasteless... The toppings are the only saving grace to the burger itself and can not stand alone. 2. The fries are also bland and leave a weird after taste...almost cardboardy... I have suggested Tasty to many of my friends, co-workers, and family. Tasty will always be on my list of great places to stop in when looking for affordable, delicious and unique twists on old american favorites.

I'm a fan, for sure. Tasty Burger is to BK/ Mc D's what Panera is to DD's. But it's better than Panera, much... Got me? Quick, funky, fun, good food for all ages. Service is fast but not in a bad way. Prices are fab, there's even a student deal for $10. Exceptional fresh ground (natch) turkey burger was a surprise. Fries and rings are greasy, inhalable goodness. Love love love the beer selection. My suggestion - build one in every town PLEASE!!! The concept has legs for sure.

David V.

Today was my first experience at Tasty Burger. I have decided it should be called by a different name: RAW BURGER. That's right, RAW. Maybe it was tasty, to people who enjoy eating live cows, but for those of us who prefer cooked meat, it was not ideal. The restaurant advertises that they cook the burgers "medium" and that if you want it cooked more, you need to ask. I assumed that "medium" actually meant "cooked", so I did not specify. For example, at UBurger (which is better), they advertise the same thing, but their burgers are COOKED. I ate here with a group of friends, and everyone's burger was under-cooked (i.e. pink/purple colored). Stupidly, we all ate our burgers and we are all now concerned that we will be sick by tomorrow. Let's hope we are wrong. Two of my friends requested that the burgers be cooked more when they ordered. One of them got what she asked for, the other got a pink burger. The "hand cut" fries are decent, but I would not call them great. They were very greasy (as were the onion rings). The only positive thing that happened was when one of my friends returned his soda because it was basically seltzer water, and they gave him a soda bottle. I was thinking about returning to try them again, but the more I think about it, I don't see that happening. I'll stick with UBurger.

Went to tasty burger for the first time last night and oh was it TASTY! We quickly got seated for a table of two. The atmosphere was funky fun, with music playing, cool art work on the walls and tables equipped with all the condiments you would want! My friend and I asked what the best burger was: the host recommended the jalapeÃ±o burger but I'm not one to hit that type of heat so he recommended the ultimate "the tasty burger". Oh yes it was delicious! Perfect size to the patty, juicy, great toppings and nice bun. Okay I'm salivating all over again. We also ordered the onion strings and fries. Those were salty deliciousness. My only gripe would be that I like my fries a thicker cut and might have preferred waffle fries. And I also like onion rings but strings but that is a minor detail. I would definitely recommend this place! Can't wait to go back again!

Meliza Anne M.

DON'T EVER GET THEIR TURKEY BURGERS! Seriously, it tastes like vomit. I get that they tried to be all cute and "gourmet" by shoving little onions in there to add flavor - but it really just looked like a terrible attempt at masking the flavor of the turkey meat, which I'm assuming would be bland otherwise (if that were even possible AM I RIGHT?!). Their beef burgers were..... O.K. It was nice that they let me mask the taste of the burger with other fixins. But I hate the idea of having to pay $5-6 for a burger I could have made at home (MUCH BETTER). If these are the standards for burger joints, I'm going to open my own and send you guys OUTTTTTTAAA HERE!!!! Your fries are .. cute. I didn't realize the sausage gravy was way too salty. Ew. It's very clear that you're masking your lack of flavors with so much other stuff. You're trying to make a 1-star reject into a 5-star honey, and it's just not working. Don't be THAT girl that puts on so much make up that she deceives people into thinking that she is gorgeous. Just don't do it.

Great burger, lots of options, shakes are great too. The Onion Burger was probably the best burger I've had in the past year, it was juicy and the onions were perfect. I had the Green Monster shake which really hit the spot. I'm looking forward to heading there again, a nice place to go for a casual burger lunch.

Andrew R.

This place is everything a good burger place should be. It has a small menu, but every option is a good one, and it took me a long time to make up my mind. At least now I have plenty of excuses to return. It's set up in an old garage, and this environment works very well for it. It's noisy, and seating is tight, but this place is not about frills. The bacon cheeseburger was amazing. Cooked perfectly, nice and greasy with the cheese nice and gooey. The fries were also really good, and not too salty. Having beer and milkshakes is a nice touch as well. My chocolate shake completed this all American meal nicely. I highly recommend this place for any burger lover. Oh, and the prices are great too!

*sigh* i am sad to say that my loyalty to in&out as a californian is becoming weaker and weaker. I have been on the east coast for way too long. I came to tasty burger for the first time with a friend on a whim at 10pm on a week night. and it was pure deliciousness. We got our burger order to-go and by the time i got home, the bottom of my paper bag was soaked in oil and grease. that may sound gross to some of you but to me it just made the whole experience that much more appealing. The burger was super juicy and it was dripping with melting cheese. Since this epic night, I have gone back again and have been checking the tasty burger website often to see what their daily hamburger special is. Since it is open daily until 2am, it gives me ample time each night to debate whether or not I want to be gross and eat a second dinner or to test my self-control and surpass whatever yumminess they are serving that day. I can't wait until Sunday so I can try their chicken and waffles sandwich. Fried chicken between two waffles covered in sausage gravy and served with maple syrup. Enough said.

Rosie Y.

I like this place. The burgers are yummy, and a good size, at least for me. For the menfolk buddies of mine, they seem to be kind of on the small side, compared to a standard "restaurant burger". (You can always double the meat for a small fee!) Burger doesn't come with anything, so make sure you order the 50/50 fries/onion rings. Keep in mind that you're going to get shoestring fries and really thin onion rings (haven't had this style before, but they're surprisingly addictive!) They have beer (draft and bottled) and wine. Also, they totally have a sack-o'-burgers that you can take away for those 1AM nights that you crave 5 cheeseburgers. Open late for all your drunken dining needs! If you're non-drunk-dining, it's still delicious, but keep in mind that there might be a bit of a wait, especially during Red Sox season. They're pretty small, but keep things moving pretty fast with their good service!

A place that serves food is open 'til 2 A.M in Boston? Beer? Really Good Veggie Burgers? $5?! Decent Fries? Convenient Location? Really nice waitress? You've sold this night-owl, party hardy, vegetarian girl who needed some grub before falling into bed. My belly may be back soon.

Hands down, this place is THE best burger place in town! It beats Five Guys any day of the week. Not just because of the wonderful burgers (try the Gorgonzola, Spicy JalapeÃ±o, or the CLASSIC Vermont Butter Burger) but also because of the wait staff! It gets pretty rowdy in there (what with it being right next to Fenway Park) and the girls that wait on you always know how to serve your dish, take your orders and STILL leave you wanting to come back for more. Elizabeth and Marina are FANTASTIC and always make me want to come back again! Lem behind the bar can take your drink order, bring you a hot dog (they call them 'shafts' here, dirty huh?) and shake that Magic 8 Ball on the counter for ya. It's like hanging out with friends amidst a buncha drunk Red Sox fans! Too bad they aren't utilizing the space outside because not only could the wait staff help them too, but it feels like a big empty cafeteria out there. Why "pick up your order to go" if you have such great folks in there to help you? A Boston spot definitely NOT TO BE MISSED!

I ate the "All the Way Dog" and I'm glad I only had one and didn't go for the triple. Yes, I would've walked outta there with a tshirt, but three of those babies would be something you'd have to prepare for. It WAS a fun time eating a hotdog, hamburger, chili, nacho cheese and bacon all on the same bun. The burger my wife ate looked really good. I'd go back just to try the burger. The onion rings were the best I've ever eaten. They used red onions and were just lightly battered; not those big, fat onions rings with a loaf of bread deep fried around each ring. The Green Monster shake was good, too. Give it a try. I'd go back for sure.

We attended a concert at the House of Blues and wanted a late-night bite afterward. Tasty Burger is apparently open until 2 a.m., which is great because we often stay in the Fenway neighborhood when we visit Boston. It was super-cold when we went there, so unfortunately we weren't in the mood to stand at the takeout window and read through the whole menu. We quickly ordered a couple burgers, a large fries, and a soda, and we waited about 5-7 minutes for our order to take it back to our hotel. Everything was correct, tasty, and hot. Price was quite reasonable for the good portion size. I liked the recycled paper wrappers around the burgers. I'll gladly eat their food again.

I live in the Fenway and have been to Tasty Burger twice. For the love of GOD how can you make a bad burger??? Go to Audobon Bar and ask them how them make a burger. Get better meats and seasoning please!!!! Wendy's is much better!!!

Good God Almighty. This place is right next to heaven in my mind. First of all, they have this crazy skinny fries and onion strings. Then for two extra clams you can dump cheese (as in REAL melted cheese, not any fake saucy shit), beefy chili, or the MOST AMAZING sausage gravy on the planet on your mountain of deep fried goodness--even better, you can do all three toppings for the same price of one. Daaaaaammmmmn. I could eat that sausage gravy with a spoon, by itself, because it's so good. I don't care that it's going to clog my arteries. The burgers are pretty wicked as well. You can choose how to have them cooked. I recommend medium-rare---cause, that's how it should be. Moooo, baby, mooo.

The Tasty Burger staff rocks. The guys behind the bar know whats up. Jon, the bar tender effing rules. Rocking a Seattle Mariners hat, supporting his hometown can't be an easy working a stones throw from Fenway. So I give him props for that... and he remembers I always go Ghannset. I tried the Turkey Burger on a recent visit and it certainly holds it own compared the all the meaty varieties. It really is full of a rich flavor, the turkey is enhanced with the spice from the chipotle mayo.

The burgers are legit and the 50/50 basket of onion rings and fries are great. The only thing holding this place back from a five star review is the grease. All burgers are cooked medium or well if you instruct them to. I had the Big Tasty and a cheeseburger and they both hit the spot. The beef patties did not taste frozen and were tender. The place was packed on a Friday night so I suggest getting there a little early for a table. Everything there goes great with a beer. I had wish our server was a little more attentive since he never came back to check up on us but again it was a full house and he was pushing orders.

went on a saturday night at around 2 am, place was packed and had to wait around 30 mins in line for a take out burger, which is fine with me since it's peak time. had the regular cheeseburger and wasn't too impressed, patty was dry and tasteless, but the fries were pretty good. maybe because it was late at night or we weren't sitting inside, but the burger definitely wasn't anything special

went here drunk last night at like 1am and it was awesome. so awesome that i offered a deal to my girlfriend whereby whenever she drives me home when i'm drunk i'll buy her a meal here and she agreed! which is really a win for me too cuz it means more tasty burger. firstly, all the complaints about the prices are ridiculous and unfounded. i got a bacon cheeseburger for $5.50 (i think....) and split the 50/50 fries and rings with my girlfriend which was like $4. so i dunno by what standard $7.50/person is expensive for a meal, but i think it's perfectly reasonable. the burgers are great. quite tasty in fact. and what really does it for me is that they're structurally sound. they aren't dripping grease and ketchup everywhere with lettuce spilling all over the sides and tomatoes falling out. i feel like i could eat one while driving and be fine. it's like a lot of places designed their burgers without any thought paid to the fact that people are actually going to be eating them and don't want to get messy while everything falls out. you know???? not so here. and the atmosphere is perfect - cool decor, low lighting, a bar, pbr tall boys, and good music (they played brand new!!). our server was this girl summer who was a peach. perfectly attentive and even hung out and chatted for a couple minutes and didn't seem annoyed by my drunkeness which, believe me, is a feat in and of itself. and the kicker? they have a big mural on the wall of samuel l jackson in pulp fiction where he's like "mm-MMMMM! that is a TASTY burger!" love it. take your friends here late at night and you'll be a hero.

Decent burgers. Tasty and a nice variety of specialty burgers. fries are just OK. Onion rings are really good - but they do occasionally come out greasy. I definitely go then when I'm in the neighborhood, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. You may need to ask for your burger well done - their 'medium' tends to be closer to raw in the center...

There are many things I love about this place so I'm going to make a handy dandy list. 1. PARKING- for those of us who drive/don't want to walk across the Fens at night, this is key. 2. Alcoholic beverages! Who doesn't love a nice Harpoon IPA with their Butta Burger? 3. They call their hot dogs Shafts... 4. DELICIOUS FRIES!! 5. They tweet burger specials! And they have takeout! LOVE.

Aboud Y.

Loved it! The Tasty might be the best burger in town. Well, to me its a close second to Flat Patties. But it has some other intangibles going for it that will ensure its on my regular playlist (i.e., a liquor license and 2am closing time). A breakdown: Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger -- Delicious! Fries -- Done right! Milkshakes -- Not bad...its cool ese, its cool. Slushies -- Goodness Tortilla Chips and Guacamole -- Surprisingly good...and fresh! Now the gripes: -- Service is slow and not the friendliest -- Veggie burger is a complete afterthought (no complaints from me but my unfortunate herbivore friends have nothing good to eat here) -- Hummus? Why do they have this on the menu? Un-tasty -- Chi Dog? Really? You call chopped lettuce and a friggin pickle on a dog Chicago style? Sacrilege! If their burgers weren't so darn good I might ban this place just based on this atomically stupid menu item Anyhow...psyched that this place exists and I'll most definitely be back.

I love the cheapness, the quickness, and the deliciousness. This is the place I pictured the wimpy slackers from Pulp Fiction hitting up for some munchies before getting lit up by Jules and Vin. And I frigging love the fact that it's in an old car shop. I don't know why, but I just love the idea. The burger was deeeelish. I got the Mushroom & Swiss, which was packed with juicy shrooms just like I like it, and we all split cheese fries with gravy on the side. I definitely wanna go back to try the shoestring rings and a "5$" vanilla shake. A few complaints make this place come up shy of 5 stars. For one, the infamous slippery floor. This is an issue that can easily be solved by putting a few simple rubber stoppers on the chair legs. Also, I wish they asked for burger done-ness preference. I like my burgers bloody-as-hell, and though the one I received was delish, it was more towards the burnt-to-a-crisp end of thangs. Either way, I will be back. And probably soon.

So last night after a fun evening with friends, "Hey, let's grab some food at Tasty Burger on the way home!" , and the journey begins. We decide to order our food and get it to go. As we browse the menu, the two other patrons are openly frustrated at how long it has taking to receive their order but it's ignored and dismissed, first mistake on our part. Of the 5 people in the "take out ordering area" 3 are waiting to place orders. At this point there is no less than 6 people behind the double windows milling about confused worker bee's without their queen. The first 2 guys receive their food and it's another 5 minutes before the magic window reopens to take orders. I step up and order a standard Gorgonzola Burger and I made it a double and I pay. My friend orders the same plus a milk shake and he pays. We wait the next 2 minutes as the cashier works out how to make change. BRO, the big number on the screen is telling you what is owed, what the freak is the difficulty? You're not being asked to do math using an abacus! The guy after us orders the same burger but with fries. We wait. 10 minutes go by, by friend receives his food. The guy that ordered behind him received his food and walks off. I continue to wait. The guy returns and knocks on the widow "The fries are ice cold" The kid picks a few up and says "Wow, I don't know how that happened, I will get a fresh batch for you". I interrupt and ask, where is mine, I ordered my burger 2 orders before his and my friends. We wait. Another 10 minutes later, the guys fries that should have been hot is now handed out. By this point there are at least 8 people in kitchen area, in different phases of walking in a circle, sitting around, on their cell phones, talking personal calls on the order line, etc, etc, etc!!! I wait. Another 10 minutes go by before I get my burger - WTF. In total. I waited nearly 30 minutes for a fucking burger! One may ask, well what do you expect from a bunch of kids working for minimum wage at midnight. My reply is; it's the same at Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Sonic, etc, etc, etc. I have never and I never will again, go to Shitty Service Burger! Wendy's on Mass Ave is packed at this time of night and the line is typically near the door. You are ordering your food within 10 minutes and you receive your food within 5. You may ask "that's only half the time, what's the big deal in waiting 15 minutes?" If you are asking this, then you fail to realize that I just said this is at peak, there is long queue near the door. There was a line of 3 at Shitty Service Burger, you make the choice it will be Wendy's for me in the future or hell, Bk is just across the street from SSB!

I used to absolutely love this place. The onion burger is amazing. The fries are decent, and the shakes are good. The staff is pleasant. However, the last two times I ate here, I got sick-- almost food poisoning bad, but only for 24 hours. The last time-- this weekend-- it was just awful. Not sure what it was, but I'm not going to be coming back any time soon.

This place was amazing. I had been craving a burger for a long time my experience was more than satisfying. It was cool, funky, had great service and the food was greasy glory. If you have even a slight phobia of grease, do not go near this place. However if sloppy 5 napkin burgers are your thing, this place is MECCA. I had the jalapeno burger and added chili, my boyfriend had the blue collar burger. Both were outstanding! I can see how one might find a burger with a deep fried patty intimidating, but it was delicious and totally manageable. The pinnacle of the experience was FRIES with SAUSAGE GRAVY! The sausage gravy had actual chunks of flavorful sausage. For drinks I got the lemon mint slushie which was like the best mojito ever in slurpee form (minus the alcohol). He got the raspberry lime ricky, also very tasty and refreshing. This is my new favorite burger place in Boston.

Fuck! Like, the food was OK and the service was great, but the prices?! I mean, I've put in on an 8-Ball with friends and felt like I got more... $8 for a hot dog?! Sure, it's big, but unless Nathan from Coney Island is going down on me, what did I just spend $8 on?! You can get a foot long with a coke at Costco for $2! FML. :(

After my disaster at Five Napkin I was hesitant to try any burgers. But I was assured this place was delicious. I was not disappointed. The coolest part about this place is that it's an old gas station. It's obvious once you step in but it's so cool the way they fixed it up. We sat down at the bar and ordered some burgers. We were told to ask for lettuce and tomato because they won't put it on if you don't ask. My friend and I also split an order of large fries. We love fries and that basket was more than enough for the both of us. Our bartender was very friendly and efficient. For students they have some specials which I would have been glad to take advantage of a few years back. Beer selection is also cheap and descent for the small joint it is.

With a great selection of burgers, dogs, shakes,and beers, Tasty Burger is a quick eats establishment you MUST visit in Fenway. The staff is great, the atmosphere is alive and kickin, and you will not wait long for your food. This place is great in group settings because it has a burger for all types plus a pool table to lounge around and entertain you before or after you eat. My recommendation: Start off with the 50/50 (fries and onion rings). Love Spicy? Get the Spicy JalapeÃ±o Were you that random kid that ate sticks of butter when you were younger? Yeah, they cater to you too with the Butta Burger. Cheese Snob? Gorgonzola burger is right up your ally On a "diet"? haha, yeah right... get the Turkey Burger. There are a ton of good choices that will fit what you like and come Spring when the Sox pick up again this place will be packed!

I came here to satisfy a serious burger craving. We ordered a cheeseburger and onion burger cooked well. My fiance said his cheeseburger was plain and just okay and I thought my onion burger was a bit too salty. The patties were juicy even when well done. We also had the 50/50 fries, onion rings basket and it was a huge disappointment. The fries were not crispy as the waitress promised and the onion rings seem to be the broken short reject pieces from the bottom of the barrel. The black and white shake was just okay for me. It was a little too thin and runny for an ice cream shake.

I found myself needing a late lunch today in Fenway. And with Samuel L. Jackson's voice in my head, "That IS a tasty burger!", I went on over. I saddled up to the bar and was welcomed by an extremely friendly (yet not annoyingly so) bartender (Anika). The Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger made its way into my belly, and then the guac/hummus/tortilla chip plate. Both were good, but the only thing I wished for was way more guac. You've got about 3,000 chips and about an ice cream scoop of guac, with more hummus. Unless the tortilla plate is all you're having, there's no way you could possibly ingest that many chips, alone. That said, everything was fresh! There's a photo of an orangutan on the counter for no reason, other than it's funny (I asked), and there's a grinning Fonzie silkscreen over by the hallway to the bathrooms. Some really cool artwork of the city on the left wall, too. But the crowning glory of art here is a gigantic portrait of Samuel L. Jackson in character from Pulp Fiction. EFFING AWESOME. Also, I love it when people are friendly and welcoming, something that's kinda hard to find in Boston. I'll be back, Anika!

Went here after a concert and I have to say this place serves up some incredible food. If you get anything, You must try the Nitro Dog which comes topped with jalapeno relish... Like the environment, has a single pool table. Perfect for late night greasy dining...

Julian W.

I live close and go here whenever I am able to convince someone to venture into the Fenway area. I like all of the options and that you can swap the veggie burger into any of their burger types. My friend noted that the fries were a little too crisp last time and I would have to agree. They serve a good selection of draft and canned beer for reasonable prices. I had a Kona draft which went great with the Gorgonzola and onion strings. -1 star because the music is too loud (I could barely hear our waiter) and the fries are sometimes overdone.

I wanted to like Tasty Burger. I really did. It's a dumpy old gas station that has been transformed into an adorable diner-like burger joint. Unfortunately, this place didn't get it right. There are only two ways to run a burger joint: 1) A very cheap and plain but seriously solid burger like In-N-Out's $2.95 deal or 2) Pricey but delicious gourmet treat like SDLT's $14 burger. Tasty is neither. ATMOSPHERE - I agree with one of the previous reviewers that organizationally, the place is a little strange. There's an indoor seating area where you get waiter service but there's also a tiny "to go" window outside, which is the first thing you visually see when you approach Tasty. I initially ordered at the "to go" window thinking that I just took my burger with me to self seat only to find out that's not the way it works. And you have to pay for parking for the privilege of eating here? SERVICE - We were the only people seated and the wait time to receive our burgers was 15 minutes. That is awfully slow for what I consider to be fast food. FOOD - Hamburger - Judging a good burger means eating it without all the dressings and frills that just disguises the meat flavour so I ordered a plain one for $4. The bun is a regular bun that was flat and soggy, which I don't understand given it should have gone straight from the kitchen to my table. One major criticism is that it's the saddest patty I've ever had. According to the menu, it's tenderloin, which is expensive for sure but I'm not sure an appropriate cut since it's so lean. The patty was so overcooked - super dry, beyond well done, and completely lacking meat flavour. It was like eating particle board in the shape of a patty. Pile of Onion Strings - The only reason this place didn't get 1* from me is because of these onion strings. I love onion rings but what it inevitably ends up being is a hollow tube of dough with a thin string of onion inside. These onions are finely julienned, lightly battered, and then fried. The problem is that they are so finely cut that they lack substance. You need a serious handful to get any onion flavour. Having said that, it was an interesting take on onion rings and I appreciate that. I'm willing to consider my lackluster meal to be new restaurant blues and consider revisiting down the road. However, if I am to have another burger in the future for $4 to $5.50, I expect it to be slightly better in quality than what I can get across the street at BK. UPDATE: On a side note, I received a distasteful email from the owner accusing me of attacking his personal livelihood by posting a negative review, that "Yelpers view businesses as an object and not a collection of other human beings," that we publish reviews to fulfill a sense of self importance, and that I misrepresented the truth. After rereading my review, it stands and continues to accurately reflect my experience at Tasty and for $4, there are definitely better choices in town (UBurger and Flat Patties). If you lose business for serving a mediocre burger, that's on you, not Yelpers.

I moved to Boston 1.5 years ago from Louisiana...where the burgers are heaven! I seriously started to think that finding a good burger in the Boston area was a lost cause...until I found Tasty Burger yesterday after a quick trip to Guitar Center! The patty. That's where it's at. It's not too thick being only 6 oz...that's my kind of patty. For those of you who like more meat, every burger has a "double" patty option. I ordered the onion burger...omg! The onions were perfectly caramelized and the cheese was oh-so-cheesy. My husband and I were able to share a fry, which were also very good, and what better to accompany burger and fries as a nice cold draft Stella? Nothing, I say. For two really, really good burgers (one being a double) some fries and a cold beer, I'd pay the $22 any day. Glad I took the risk of going in Tasty Burger rather than walking another several blocks for a sub par Subway sandwich (pun intended). Oh yeah, the service was fantastic! Nicest dude ever and we were in and out in 25 minutes...

I was really excited that a "real" burger joint has open around Fenway area. The facade of the place is SOooooo cute! I love the 50s / 60s diner type of design for this burger place. Inside, the place has a very casual atmosphere with a pool table in the corner. My hubby and his friends love all the burgers that they tried. The SHAKE is amazing! The only that that I would not recommend to eat is the pineapple / terayaki burger. For some reason, it wasn't a good combination for burger. I guess I just stick with the usual that I always ordered, which is cheeseburger with onions and mushrooms. One good thing about this place is that it opens to 2am. So a good place to go when you are wasted and need something greasy to eat!

Eric R.

One of the best burgers I've ever had, and certainly the cheapest. $5.50 for the burger I got is an amazing price, especially in the city. I will definitely go back to Fenway location, cool spot, free parking and friendly staff. The chili is amazing also!

Todd B.

Worth the trip. Great beer selection, free pool and an excellent burger offering. Nothing too gourmand mind you, in fact they do best at the low brow. Specifically the Blue Collar Burger! I went in for a double and goddamn it was one tasty burger! Had a few others and they've all been great. Service was also awesome. I'm sure that during before or after a Sox game this place is rotten with out of towners but on a random Saturday it's a great way to kill a couple of hours. Keep it up TB!

Al R.

I love this place but I didnt give it 5 stars because the quality of the hamburgers. They are good, don't get me wrong. Just not great. Relatively flavorless except for the accompanying flavors. Ambiance, accessibility, and MY GOD THE BEER! are what make it a gem. You must go.

Dropping kiddo off for freshman year at college. Between elation and depression we headed here with his roomie's family after a quick trip to Staples for some things we needed. Yelped a nearby burger place bc that's what the consensus was. Yay Yelp! What a fun place! Great decor, outside picnic table (too hot for me), inside some great wall art, lots of condiments on the tables and that great retro vibe. Such fun when they opened the garage doors for some fresh air. 5-stars for a burger joint, not compared to a 5-star fine dining restaurant - I had a veggie burger which although pretty fried was still quite yummy. The onions for it were chopped, though, and I prefer sliced. I am not an onion ring fan but could not stop eating them from the table basket -skinny skinny strips and red onions Yum. Fries were excellent too. Everyone loved their meals - perfect for a burger place and another non-cookie-cutter experience in Boston!

Better then Burger King? Yes. Is it Johnny Rockets? No I recommend the onion burger and 50/50 fries and onion rings.

F. B.

A. This place could be a character in a Tarantino film. B. Veggie burger was probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. C. Fries were A+ D. Service was perfect. We stopped in during a Sox game, in between the before and after rushes, so it wasn't too busy. Loved the look of this little gem. It's a modern day "mom-and-pop" take on the classic American burger joint. One suggestion: if you're with a friend, you can totally share an order of fries!

Sabrina P.

Most overrated burger in Boston. If it's not slathered in a million different condiments to mask it - it's not good. I've tried this place a few different times, I really did want to like it, but time and again they let me down. It's really hard to hide the fact that the actual burger itself just really isn't that great. The meat is dry, and has absolutely no flavor. I think people who like this are excited by the novelty of "funky burgers" because if you base it on the actual meat this place is less than sub-par. Yes, I've tried the fun varieties but have never really been blown away - I've seen similar burgers at other places so I can't really say they are even that inventive. The other issue I have is the severe lack of customer service. I came in here when they first opened and sat inside and could not have experienced worse service even if I had asked. The take out counter isn't any better. Overall if you want a good burger in the area I'd head over to UBurger.

What I like about Tasty Burger is that the food and experience is very even. Delicious burgers and hot dogs, excellent onion rings of the stringy variety, and a solid beer selection. TVs to watch a bit while you're there but small enough so there's turnover at the bar. But i get what I came for every single time I go. Burger's always medium, food comes out fast and hot, and the staff is attentive. Relatively inexpensive as well.

Tasty Burger reminds me of a place you might find in Portland, OR. That is definitely a compliment. It's hip, has great art on the walls, servers are friendly and it serves up delicious food at reasonable prices. Come on, that's a major lunch win. Even more of a lunch win, they have a student special of a burger, fries and a Bud for $10! That'll make the work day go by a little faster and happier. Even if you're not a student, the burgers hover around $5, fries are $4 and beers are $4-8ish. There's also a jukebox that's connected to the internet, so you can download whatever song you want to play. I wanted to stay forever. So, I got a gorgonzola burger, which was just a burger cooked medium with gorg on it. I like it simple, so that was perfect for me. But if you want lettuce and tomato or whatever, I guess you have to ask. The 50/50 fries and onion rings are the way to go, but make sure to split them. It's a huge basket of fried. The onion rings are super skinny strings, kind of ironic since they make your body the opposite of that. But that's the best way to do onion rings, and so few places to it right that I almost never order them. Thanks, Tasty Burger, for testing my ability to engage in these things in moderation.

We stopped at this place on the recommendation of some locals who hadn't steered us wrong yet. I kept it simple with a cheeseburger. We ordered it to go and ate it on our way into Fenway. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't GREAT! I was disappointed because I was expecting burger greatness. However, it is a reasonably priced option when compared to the outrageous prices you would find in the ballpark. Not a bad stop if you forgot to eat before you get the park but nothing I would go out of my way to find on any other day.

Brittany M.

FUCK YEAH TASTY BURGER. They never disappoint. I'm convinced that they have the best veggie burgers in Boston, although they are SUPER salty so if that's not your style, better luck elsewhere. It's greasy-shitty-late-night-diner-food but they do it oh so well. Excellent fries and onion rings. OH. One more thing, I've never sat inside, we always just grab food from the window and sit outside. The service outside is TERRIBLE. One time, I had already paid but they didn't have what I wanted so naturally, I wanted my money back. The lady got all pissy and shut the window on me because I wanted my money back instead of just something else off the menu. But hey, I don't eat red meat, I don't have many choices here. Anyway, it certainly doesn't affect my review of the food but if you like being treated like gold forget about it.

Donna M.

DELICIOUS! If you are in the area (and even if you aren't), this is a must go-to place! Incredible burgers - my boyfriend and I almost literally inhale our burger as soon as we get them. They are juicy, hot, and come with whatever toppings you want. You can sit inside in a cool, trendy sitting area with music and TVs or order from the walk-up window outside. Very quick and easy eating spot. Try a milkshake! They are pretty hearty and super tasty! When you're craving some comfort food, go here immediately!

I recently came here on a Monday of a holiday weekend with the family excited to try it out but came away utterly disappointed. We arrived around 2 pm and it was fairly busy not surprising given that it was a holiday weekend. However, the restaurant only had 1 waitress and 1 hostess. Consequently, the service was terrible! We ordered our food and got our sodas and milkshake quickly but it took forever to get anything else. We had to ask 3 times for water and an extra glass to split a milkshake for the kids. It was a rough start but my husband and I were hoping the food would make up for it. Nada. We had looked online at the menu so we knew ahead what we wanted but when we looked at the menu given to us noticed there were quite a few discrepancies. We had to ask the waitress if those items we saw online were available. My husband and I both got burgers while the kids got chicken nuggets (the regular ones aren't even listed on the menu! Only spicy nuggets are listed) and a 1/4 lb. hot dog (way too big for the average person let alone a toddler). The food left a lot to be desired. The burgers were dripping in grease and the fries and hot dog were just ok. The chicken nuggets were surprisingly good though. They tasted like fried chicken in a nugget form. I told my husband I thought we could have gotten better burgers at the Burger King that used to be down the street! Tasty Burger is in a converted gas station and tries for a cool, retro vibe. Supposedly the name comes from Samuel Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction talking about the "tasty burger" he was going to eat. Although it is tooted as being family friendly, we thought it could do better. The music was completely blaring and there was no kids menu (no biggie I can work around that). Overall, I'd give my experience a "C" and I won't bother coming back. Oh, and 2 burgers, a 1/4 lb. hot dog, 1 order of chicken nuggets, 2 sodas and 1 milkshake came out to $40. Next time I'll go to Five Guys instead!

I didn't even know this place existed until yesterday. My boyfriend and I were meeting one of our bandmates for some lunch before going to Guitar Center. What a find! I'm a sucker for retro inspired diner look and Tasty Burger delivered on that aesthetic and more. We got two Spicy Jalapeno Burgers, one Bacon Cheeseburger and one of my favorite options: the 50/50 basket. Half onion rings and half french fries. Everything was great. They even have Dr. Pepper on the menu for soda! If I were to give any criticism, it would be that the onion rings might not be for everyone: they are the super thin slice kind and I think they use red onions - the fries were very well seasoned. Don't expect gourmet here kids - we are talking an easy to hold, easy to eat burger at a 'don't break the bank' price. The diner itself is a renovated car garage with some great artwork on the walls. They had awesome tunes playing and I thought the staff was friendly. This is definitely an asset to the Fenway neighborhood and I'm sure this place will be bonkers once baseball season starts.

Burgers aren't cheap, but they sure are delicious. Actually - I take that back - anything beyond a basic (cheese)burger is $7, which isn't bad, but that's without the onion strings, which you are *definitely* going to buy. That's another $4. If you want a beer or a shake, that's another $5, unless you roll with Bud. But hey, they've got cans of Dales's Pale Ale, and that's a good beer to buy if you've gotta get a can. The atmosphere in here is pretty sweet too, with nice early aughts indie-ish rock going at a unobtrusive volume, a giant stippled photo of Sammy L Jackson from Pulp Fiction, and a pool table (word is it's free?). Also not to miss for you students out there; the blackboard behind the bar proclaims there's a "student special" available with valid ID for a burger, fries, and Bud for $10. There's also "The Challenge" where you eat 5 "All the Way" dogs (or "shafts" in Tasty parlance) in under an hour, and keep them down, you win your picture on the wall, a t-shirt, your dogs for free, and the indescribable taste of victory (and possibly indigestion). All in all, this is a solid addition to the Fenway neighborhood, and one I'll be happy to patronize next time I'm in the area.

I don't give out five stars often, but Tasty Burger earned it. Stopped in this afternoon and it totally hit the spot. Uncomplicated menu, very reasonably priced, great quality and great service. Their burgers are made from Omaha beef, ground fresh daily, only $5.50. The milkshake was perfect, very thick and also priced right at $4. Only one issue and its been noted by other Yelpers - what is going on with the slippery floor? Better get that fixed, stat!. Other than the floor this place is perfect, great atmosphere, love the Jules Winnfield mural! An enthusiastic five stars!

The bar is pretty hip and it's a nice place to get cheap burgers with friends. The Turkey Burger is the BEST! You'd think at a place named after burgers, the beef patty could better compete but they just did the turkey burger proud! It's all I will order now. Order beers by the pitcher, I'd recommend Harpoon IPA, and save about $3 bucks (you get 4 full glasses per pitcher). Will definitely be back!

We stumbled upon Tasty Burger on a walk through Fenway and decided to stop by. It is open until 2am and has a special burger of the day. I have heard mixed reviews like or dislike, so it was an opportune time to try. On the table is a wide selection of sauces on a lazy-susan and I liked that the menu was lamenated. We had the nitro nuggets, the chicken tenders which were spicy, just the way I like it, with a side of creamy ranch $6. We also tried a single patty spicy jalepeno burger served with cheddar cheese sauce, roast jalapeÃ±o $5.5.The burger was super juicy and I really liked the tang of the jalapeno cheese and was really filling. If I am ever in the neighborhood, I would be tempted to try their slushies and milk shakes next time.

So Tasty Burger The name itself is far from modest. So why so goddamn arrogant Tasty Burger! What's the damn deal man. So you think that dang Blue Collar Burger is the hot Sh!t with it's warm tasty burger-ness wrap in deep fried batter wrapper. You think the black and white milk shake is all that mixing chocolate and vanilla ice cream making a savory sweet goop that goes smooth all that!! You think them pile of onion rings, so thin and tightly fried, salty, light and flavorful so unlike Mc Gross and BarferKing is the sh!t... well do you. Okay Ill give you that... Actually this is some of the best Fast food I have ever had. The place has a full selection of beer also. Screw you guys. I'm going to send you my gym bill. I got five pounds ya'll owe me back. Thanks alot. Go here to eat but run a few laps before you do.

"That's one tasty burger" Everytime I come here I have a great experience. Awesome staff, burgers cooked perfectly, obsessed with their fries YUM, and can't go wrong with washing it all down with an ice cold Stella for $5. Within walking distance from my apartment which makes for great late night trips since they are open late :o) If you like their facebook page they will let you know through a picture and detail info about the special of day, which somtimes is a burger and sometimes a hot dog. I always look forward to finding out the special. Great place to chill and play pool too, or watch a game at the bar with some gravy fries! 2 very big thumbs up!

Tasty Burger is the devil, but I love it for it. I can pretty much single this establishment out for wrecking my diet, though I'll have victory over you yet, chili cheese fries. The burgers are the stars, tasting like fast food from a time when it was both fast and food. The patties are thick and satisfyingly pink inside. The various toppings I've tried (such as jalapeno, onion, and mushroom) all add dimension and make a good burger great. The aforementioned chili cheese fries, nitro chicken nuggets, milkshakes, and guac and hummus are all tasty sides and treats that help to make the caloric bill much higher than the tab (which will be very reasonable). If you're live in the neighborhood like me, carryout is the way to go. Inside the atmosphere is energetic but somewhere south of comfortable. Grease hangs heavy in the air and the floor is so slick I suspect the floors have been waxed with Crisco.

Super tasty burger. I liked that my friend and I could get the half and half fries and onion rings, and for $4 it was a huge portion. The burgers were really tasty, with fresh vegetables on top. I am gonna make this a no-brainer stop when I am in the area.

Awesome late night greasy burgers! The hot dogs are a-ok. Burgers are super greasy and delicious. The fries are good too. And if you like one of those string thin fried onions, you would like theirs. Personally, I like the jalapeno burger!

Yummm... I love the Franklin Cafe, in fact I was accused of purchasing my condo because it was across the street from the Franklin Cafe in the South End. So when I heard that the FC people opened a burger joint I had to try it. I'm not sure why it took so long for me to get over to the Fenway to give Tasty Burger a try, but I know that I will be back soon! Tasty Burger is like Boston's answer to NYC's famed Shake Shack... (Although I do love the Shake Shack Sauce...) Simple "fast food," but high quality yummy goodness! And where else in Boston can you get two good burgers, a pitcher of good beer and a side order of onion rings and fries for under $40.00... I know that there are other restaurants that claim to have good burgers, but I'm tired of paying $20.00 or more for a burger... (ummm hello Radius... and it wasn't even that great!) Thi is a fun, relaxed place to grab a good burger and a beer and not spend a fortune. I hate baseball, but I'm sure if you liked that sort of thing it would be a great spot to go before heading over to Fenway for a game. (I checked to make sure there was not a game the night we ventured over there! I really did not want to get mixed up in a crowd of crazed Red Sox fans...) I must go back and try their shakes.

I happened to find myself near Fenway and thought I'd try Tasty Burger. The servers were nice and welcoming, and the decor inside the restaurant (a mix of kitchy pop art with a pool table and jukebox) was fun. I decided to order a lime-mint slushie and a Gorgonzola burger. The slushie was great. The minty lime flavor was refreshing (yes, even on a cold January day) and not too sweet. Soon after, I was brought my burger. The presentation was a bit messy with the cheese/oil/burger juice coating the wrapper. The burger itself was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese added a nice saltiness. However, I felt like it was missing something. Perhaps it was the verging on soggy bun, but I could have used some lettuce to break up the oily taste. It wasn't bad, overall, but for the price ($5.50 for the burger, $4 for the slushie), I just don't feel like I would make the effort to come here. And I'm sorry to bring it up (I'm from California, after all), but places like this just make me miss In-n-Out more.

Good quality and location but long wait and small portion. I decided to get a Turkey Burger but it took about 30 minutes to make. I wanted something fast but I was expecting around a 15 minute wait. When it came out, it was delicious but the portions felt very small for the price (about the size of one and a half big macs). This place has an indoor seating option but it seems mostly for a place to go after or during a Red Sox game. Overall, I wouldn't come here again other than it being convenient. There are much better alternatives in Boston such as: -Uburger (Quicker and similar quality and price to Tasty Burger) -Four Napkin Burger (About equally a long wait but the quality is a lot better and the portion almost twice as big. Inside is a lot more classy. Its very pricey though its the best burger place to go if you want to sit down and eat. ) -Five Guys (Opening in about 2013 Spring near Northeastern. Five guys has large portions, lower quality, and fairly decent wait.) -Pour House (Another place to sit down and eat but the portions are massive. Inside has the same vibe as Tasty Burger but they have half price burgers on Saturdays) -Boston Burger Company (Pricey and fancy like Four napkin burger but portions are as large as Pour House)

Heard about this place from a friend and decided to bring along a couple of my classmates for lunch. The place was a bit hard to find since it was kind of towards the back...so we missed the place. But we finally went back and found it. The place was small and a bit cold but it was interesting. Very casual. The service wasn't that great. Its very laid back. Guests sit themselves in any table. So don't expect professional service from the waitress. I got the burger with the chilli and it was good but a bit greasy. The onion rings are interesting. Its not the onion rings you expect from an outback or a frozen one you buy at the grocery store. It is literally thin onion rings, fried. A little greasy but it was good. Fries were delicious and I like how there were different sauces in each table. Only thing I don't like about this place was the poor service and greasy burgers. I would choose other burger places over this place. The price isn't that cheap...it builds up when you add drinks, sides, and condiments. Its so funny. I was talking about yelping this place while we were eating and I guess the waitress over heard us. Literally a minute after, she comes over and asks if we need anything else....very politely. Hahaha. Yelp FTW.

This place rocks! Great burgers, super shakes... It is all good! Only thing... If you list beer for sale on the menu next to your order window...Don't look at a girl like she has three heads when she tries to order one...

Food wasn't bad, similar to 5 guys with less beef (not a bad thing, by the way) and a little undercooked for my taste. Had the big and tasty with some fries. Fries were decent but way too salty. Food would get 3.5 stars, but service gets an absolute ZERO. They were busy when we went (group of 2), each ordered a burger, split an order of fries, and ordered a pitcher of beer. Food came out in a reasonable time for a fast-food joint, but the beer didn't get to the table until AFTER we had finished the food. Even after the runner brought the food and we reminded him of our order. When the waitress brought the pitcher (30 minutes after we sat down), I told her to take it off and bring the check. Still took another 10 minutes to get the check. Like I said, it was busy, but this isn't a cook-to-order place and they need to get their act together. Won't return specifically for the food, like I said, decent if you're in the area, but really just 5 guys with a beer menu. If you get your beer.

Great burger place. Now that my wife has gone back to being a vegetarian, I probably won't get to go back much, but seriously, that is a tasty burger (please don't say that to the wait staff--I asked them if they had heard that line and the server said, "Only about a thousand times"--go with a different joke. I went with "Are we happy Vincent?) " Anyway, the big kahuna burger really was great--I ordered the double the first time and that was stupid-- literally too much burger. But pineapple, shadings of soy sauce and perfectly cooked burger a very nice taste. Onion rings were better than the fries, but my kids liked it all.

Tasty Burger finally opens in the Fenway! I was so excited to see this coming our way, because I feel like we have still not recovered from the terrible events of January 6, 2009... now there is another spot in our neighborhood for meeting friends and hanging out over a mug, a pitcher, a game of pool, a burger, a burger salad, a slushie, a shaft... A friend and I came out tonight for the inaugural evening, and although Tasty Burger was slammed, we enjoyed frosty cold mugs of beer, and hot, delicious dinners. I enjoyed an organic chicken sandwich, "Buffalo" style. It was steaming hot, the chicken not overly cooked and thus juicy. It was treated with a tangy hot sauce which just might have been Frank's Red Hot (if the extra bottle on the table was an indicator) and creamy bleu cheese. Yum. Did I mention how crunchy the batter on the chicken was? And it was organic! Hallelujah! A sesame bun rounded it out. Yum. My dining companion feasted on a hamburger salad, which is exactly what it sounded like: a burger patty and the requisite baby salad greens, etc. She was somewhat taken aback by the abbreviated salad dressing list (Italian or blue cheese) but recovered and ordered the Italian. She said the burger was fantastic. We were happy. Mugs of beer are brought to you icy, and at $5 for a Harpoon IPA, or $5.50 Hoegaarden or Stella, pretty reasonable. I saw that they offer an assortment of cans of beer, which you could buy in quantity, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Definitely available are pitchers of beer. There is also a nice listing of wines. I liked the spice racks, er tiny lazy susan's, on the tables, featuring Frank's, Lee Kum Kee Sriracha, mustard, ketchup, relish, salt & pepper. All in all, I am really excited to come back to Tasty Burger again. The neighborhood is better for having it. It will be a great place to kick it this fall and winter. Yay!

Tasty Burger was indeed tasty. The Mushroom Burger was quite delicious. The fries we got were a bit overcooked, but with one visit I can't call that a trend, but even still they were delicious. (And big, it was more then enough for the two of us). The burgers are reasonably sized for the price as well. It is better then most Fast Food, though you can probably do much better in a full American restaurant (and pay a lot more too). I do also have to agree with some of the previous reviewers that the place is a little confusing. With the take out window and the dining room next to it. It was dark but I don't recall seeing any signage. it took a little bit to determine if you ordered at the window and took it inside, or if there was service inside. I also don't recall any "Seat Yourself" sign either and we had to wait awkwardly until someone told us to. Both can easily be resolved with a few signs, which seems odd they haven't resolved this yet. Next time I am in Boston, I do want to go again.

In-N-Out Burger meets Five Guys in this refurbished gas station burger joint. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, beer cans served in coozies or learning the take out window was open until 2am. Brought to you by the owners of Franklin Cafe' and the soon to come Citizen, Tasty Burger is my ideal burger spot. With several choices on the menu including turkey burgers and a house made veggie burger, there's definitely something for everyone. In addition to the outdoor patio, the inside is reminiscent of what use to be a gas station with the big garage doors, which were kept open as fall approaches. Filled with a large bar, pool table, and juke box for the music of your choice, Tasty burger is just what Fenway needed. The portions are large, the prices are affordable, and its only a few steps away.

This was my second visit to this unassuming burger spot. My first visit was very good but... let be honest, like most of you, I was several beers deep so my judgment may have been clouded.This latest visit confirmed my suspicion. By far the best burger in Boston! It's like In-and-Out has opened better version of itself in the Hub.

Now that is a tasty burger! Tasty Burger boats a strong showing of inexpensive, unashamedly greasy, comfort-tastic griddled burgers, ranging from the humble cheeseburger to the tangily excellent mushroom burger to the fully ridiculous deep fried blue collar burger to the Pulp Fiction-inspired Big Kahuna burger. (The veggie burger is made there, too, and really tasty, so you can convince your vegetarian friends to join you also!) Other highlights include the nitro nuggets -- think buffalo chicken nuggets -- and the excellent thin and salty onion strings. Lots of places will make me a greasy burger, though -- similar burger joints include Flat Patties, UBurger, and Five Guys. Are Tasty's Burgers better than those burgers? I'm not sure. But what is better about Tasty Burger is the sense of fun, the super-friendly service -- oh, and the BEER. Seriously people, I'm just not that interested in your burgers if I can't wash them down with a cold beer. Tasty Burger offers the standard Boston tap list, more or less, but with the added bonus of available pitchers and beer service in extremely satisfying to toast steins. (They also have tall boys of High Life, PBR, and 'Gansett for just over $3.) Even better, there's free pool, a fun jukebox, and a giant mural of Sammy J chowing down on a Big Kahuna burger.

Okay so I've been back a couple of times now that they've gotten their sea legs, and it's still a mixed bag. The service has improved, and their beer selection looks decent. I don't know about $13 for a pitcher of Bud Light, though... or am I just spoiled from my days at Northeastern paying $7 for same at Punter's? Anyway, I had a bacon cheeseburger the other day and it was decent. Server was a dude who was fairly attentive, so that was cool. Bro and I split fries because that's a lot of fries. Went back tonight and got a turkey burger... no es bueno, Tasty Burger. Thing was chock full of onion chunks and caraway seeds (y'know, those little seeds in sausage?) and I was NOT a fan. Live and learn, though. The chocolate milkshake I got was bomb, though. Brother described it as "such a chocolatey chocolate shake." Service was, again, pretty good, and the food comes out really quickly. It's around the corner from me, so I'll definitely be back sporadically.

TASTY BURGER SAVED MY LIFE. Yeah. That's right. For real. We went to a hip hop show at the House of Blues, and we were waiting for like 3 hours for these fools to come on stage, and I drank a few too many Guinnesses and then after the show I was all like, "TASTY BURGER!" and we went around the corner and wha-BAM! And it was awesome. OMG, their fries are so crispy. And I think I remember really liking the turkey burger, but I can't remember so well. But I know it was good. And I knew I would like Tasty Burger because I LOVE the Franklin, and it's the same owners, and they are my heroes. I'm a major food brat, so even though I'm writing this silly post, I seriously know that they make wonderfully inspired food. Love you guys! Can't wait for the Citizen Public House to open across the street! EEEEE!!!!!!

Stopped in here for lunch the other day with some coworkers. It reminded a lot of U Burger with similar quality and prices. The difference was that this place was a little less fast foodish than there. That said don't expect typical sit down restaurant service although the waitstaff and bartenders were good. The atmosphere is funky with it being converted from a gas station. They have some take out windows on the outside as well as a sit down area inside with a bar and a pool table in addition to tables. The beer selection was surprisingly good (a number of craft brews were mixed in with the usual selections) and they offered frappes as well. The food selection is pretty much burgers and dogs. I went with a jalapeno burger which was tasty although more messy than I would have expected. My coworker and I split an order of the 50/50 fries and onion strings. I liked the onion strings and fries, but they were a little overly salted. I will definitely be heading back to try a dog and a frappe.

Went there before a sox game. Place was crowded but was seated quickly. Ordered the BBQ burger med well but was told only can order medium or well. Why? Seems foolish to me. Keep it on the grill a minute longer than medium. Chocolate shake was ok but priced high at almost $5. Onion rings and fries just average. Burger was ok. U burger blows this place away.

Sasha B.

Great, cheap burgers. I ordered a regular burger, and split an order of fries with the boy. I don't think you can get any better burger for under $5 in Boston proper. The meat is fresh-ground, and you can tell. I like that you can sit down inside or get take out. The fries are AMAZING- thick cut but still crispy!

Cool spot to grab a beer and a burger! Enjoyed the gas station rehab and most importantly the yummy burger options. Coin toss won me a mushroom, swiss topped burger that went perfect with my Koozie-covered can of beer and basket of 50/50 onion/fries. The service was friendly and attentive. Pros: Fun atmosphere Fast and Friendly Service Good Menu selection Tips: Don't come if you want to eat something healthy Ladies Room is lacking in style and comfort a bit!

Any burger nerd will tell you there are two types of burgers in this world: fast-food and gourmet. Both have their right place and time and ladies and gentleman Tasty Burger is a fast-food style burger done perfectly. I can't even count how many times I have been there in the past month. I have had almost everything on their normal burger menu and every single thing is at least a four out of five. I have also tried many of their special burgers which are delicious. For fast food burgers, the burgers are really light on grease and the toppings are always really, well, tasty. My two favorites on the normal menu would have to be Blue Collar burger and the JalepeÃ±o burger (the cheese sauce is awesome). The atmosphere is so cool, funky and fun that I have actually turned it into a late night destination for my buddies and me. Using the shell of a converted gas station, the inside has interesting decoration, a pool table and bar serving up some of the best canned beers you will find in Boston. Beer fans rejoice! Oskar Blues and Six Point are a couple of their canned offerings. Service whether inside or out is always friendly and attentive (minus my missing water bottle that I left there... my b!). Mike is really cool, search him out when you are there. Overall there are not enough good things i can say, maybe a more diversified shake menu? The green monster is really good but it is the only thing out of the ordinary. Oh, and, my girlfriend LOVES their veggie burgers. She even orders a double. Score for me to be able to eat a burger on a date with my non-meat loving gal and have her be just as stoked as I am.

I was with my Dad coming out of BWH, and he was hankering for a greasy hamburger. Let's try the Tasty Burger. Good burger, the most important thing. Better than the Guys burger out of Virginia. And the 50/50 fries/rings were a hit, though I found the onion rings to be more onion strings. Though good. Just harder to grab a handfull, rub them in some ketchup, and smash them in my mouth. The drink options put this burger joint on a different plane than the usual soda option styled place. A BIG plus. We would both go back, and the parking in their front lot made parking easy. My Dad's handicapped parking sticker made parking even EASIER!

I was pretty excited to see Tasty Burger open since I live across the street, but unfortunately it's just not very good. I've gone twice. ~ Hamburgers ($4) are flat out too salty (both times). In this case, extra salt doesn't make me want to drink -- it merely kills the natural flavor of beef. ~ Hamburgers are simply not like In-N-Out (as mentioned in some of the early media coverage) -- these have nowhere near the same amount of veggies, the patty is a lot thicker, and these burgers are served completely dry (no special sauce, mustard, etc.). ~ The bar only has beers on tap and in cans... no bottles. 3 parties in a row each had a woman ask for something not available, like cider. ~ On the positive side, they have a bathroom, are open late, have a great location (for me), and during a Red Sox game this place makes the neighborhood smell delicious. Hopefully these guys will get better. Now I'm kind of worried about the Citizen bar the same mgmt team is opening across the street.

This place is great! I wish Tasty (as I'll now affectionately dub them) had been here just a few years sooner, so my beau and I could have had time to reap in their burger goodness! Back in the old days, all we had to choose from was McDonalds or Burger King. And they closed at 10 and 11 pm. Imagine that, kids. Tasty Burger did not exist! You just don't know how good you have it. The prices are reasonable, although not as cheap as a Number One at the McDee. However, quality, quality, my friends. The meat is juicy, moist and grilled to perfection, with a slight smoky crisp on the outside. The veggies are fresh and crunchy. The bread didn't blow my mind, but it's better than a run-of-the-mill bun (wonder where it's from). They've got toppings aplenty. The fries were amazing as well, and a generous portion at that. The atmosphere in Tasty is just awesome. If it had been around when I lived in Fenway, I can guarantee I would have been there more often than would be good for my superior vena cava. Outdoor patio seating. They support local artists by displaying their work (points for cool factor too). The service is quick and friendly. They serve beer on tap. They play good music. They have flat screen HDTVs. They've got both tables, booths and bar seating. They've got clean bathrooms (for now). They offer free parking - yes, you heard me right - FREE PARKING. It's everything a drunk (or sober) Bostonian could want in a late night (or after work) burger joint. Waiting for a reason to go back? I think yes.

Well, holy balls. That burger is goddamn deep fried, my friend. Deep fried, and not stupid, which is itself a paradox of delicious crispy outershell giving way to moist and meaty inner heaven. Slicked down with some honey mustard, paired with just a hint of lettuce and pickle (because a man cannot live on fry alone), and you have yourself just about the best midnight-drunk-munchies-after-downing-a-few-Âcocktails-across-the-street-at-Citizen snack a man can ask for--especially when you wash it all down with a tallboy of High Life. If you're not feeling the fry, the rest of the menu looks equally delectable, and the "nitro" nuggets my partner in crime ordered were stellar. Just not battered and fried beef. It's hard to compete. With pool in the back, exposed brick used-to-be-a-gas-station aesthetic, and convenient bar seating, the only thing missing is Sammy J coming down from his wall-mural and sitting right down beside you yelling about motherfuckers needing to calm down. Maybe after a few more High Lifes.

This is your run of a mill burger place.It has been 3 hours and I'm still full, so it did the job. There is nothing amazing about this place, except maybe the onion rings, but it is a place worth trying when in the area when with some friends. Good music, friendly staff, OK food, and pool makes this place a great night spot after the bar to sit and continue drinking/filling your stomach with some drunk food. The raspberry lime Rickey was good, the butter burger was mouth watering, bringing out the flavor of the burger even more. The bacon cheeseburger was typical. The 50/50 was great, though the onion rings are by far the greatest item on the menu. Next time, I'll try the fried burger.

Katie W.

My first experience here was after a chilly fall day of golf so I was starving and craving a good burger and Tasty Burger definitely did not let me down! Juicy, flavorful and drenched in toppings, my blue cheese and grilled onion burger was fantastic! The french fries were crispy and salty and the raspberry lime ricky hit the spot. Their burgers are very reasonably priced at $5 considering the quality and they serve beer and wine. A black and white milk shake for dessert was the perfect way to end the day! Also love that its open late night!

Anuj S.

I don't see what all the hype is over the burgers here. I know the burger is fresh made (seen it made on TV) but it looks like a freakin' frozen disc. That being said, some of the other items on the menu look decent. The nitro nuggets are pretty good, and the hot dog is huge and they have lots of toppings. Chili is my favorite. The first time I went they had the thick cut fries, but each time afterwards they had the tiny ones. I prefer the thick cut. The best part about this place I think is that they're open until 2AM EVERYDAY and they serve beer. They also have quite a bit of outdoor seating when it's nice out. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and they have pool tables inside. Kind of a cool concept for a restaurant. The food is your typical run of the mill stuff, but with some added creativity. Tasty Burger and Citizens (right acorss the street) are owned by the same people. Bottom line, if it's late and you are in need of food, this is probably a good place to go.

Jennifer T.

I like this place. The burger wasn't gross, like McDonald's usual fare, but rather it had fresh lettuce and tomato. Imagine that! It was a bit on the greasy side, but you're eating a burger...you gotta go all the way! Mine was a bit pink in the middle, which I found to be weird for a thinner patty. It was tasty though. I loved their 50/50 onion rings and fries. They were more onion strings than rings but I loved that, to be honest.

Finally! A decent cheap burger dive in Boston! The regular burgers are perfect size (not ridiculously big but just enough) and yummy tasting. Fries are very good and crispy. Shakes are nice finishing touch to the meal! You can order at the window and sit at the outside picnic tables, or you can sit inside and be served. Either way, it's got a great burger ambience at this old gas station. Great place to stop before or after a game at Fenway or movie at Regal.

I work around the area so I stop by last week to check it out. Our Waitress was attentive. We had the all the way dog - burger, hot dog, bacon, chili, cheese for $12. It was pretty good for the price. We also had the turkey burger ($5.50) which I thought was better than alot of the burger places I've been to. We also had the 50/50 fries and Onion Wings which I thought was alright. I was pretty chili inside the restuarant but I think it's a great place to go during the summer time!! It's a good addition to the Fenway area.

Tasty Burger never fails to make me happy. The burgers are always served super quick and on a warm, buttery bun. Mm, makes me happy just looking at it. The meat is cooked just right, not overdone, but not too rare either. The only thing negative that it is a bit small. I wish it were bigger, but that's just me. The onion strings are also very good. They're much better than the fries. Even so, I still get the 50/50, just because a burger without fries doesn't seem right. If I'm ever craving burgers, I come here.

Fantastic burger! walked around aimlessly after a show at the House of Blues looking for something open at 12:30a on a Sunday. Walked up to the take-out window and asked if we could still get something. "Hell yeah", she said, "Dining room and bar is open until 2:00am" So we entered into a Burger Nirvana. The Cheese Fries were unreal good with creamy, rich. smooth melted cheese and rich Chili. The Chicago style Hot Dog was a fork and knife affair with crunchy pickles, and crisp lettuce and perfect seasonings. The beer was chilled ice cold. The service was friendly and efficient. What more could you ask for?

OK, Well I tried it again, cause it really is a cute atmosphere, and I want to see it do well..... but it just isn't good food. I was sure this time to ask them to cook the burger well, and it was just OK. So then thought I'd try a salad to avoid the bad fries... But the salad was not any better than the fries. It was served in a plastic container like you get from the supermarket, and was freezing cold - apparently just taken out of the freezer recently and not completely thaw. Go for a beer, and have a burger if you are really hungry and don't care what it tases like.

It's another burger joint. I had their bacon cheeseburger, protein style, which was just a burger. I also had their french fries smothered in sausage gravy, which was really good. It's just another burger joint, so it's not something to rave about. But worth writing a Yelp review, apparently.

3.8 Stars. Good "Cheap" burger joint, second only to UBurger, I think. A couple of advantages it has on Uburger: - options on fries (cheesy fries, etc) -different combos than Uburger (butter burger, etc) -hot dogs I think Tasty Burger and UBurger are mostly fairly matched - it's just that my FAVORITE burger from Uburger is better than my favorite at Tasty Burger. And the fries, while without options, are better at UBurger.

Tasty Burger is a really fun spot. The converted Gas Station ambience is really cool. The burgers are great and the get bonus points from me for serving Narragansett Beer. I also recommend it as a decent place to catch the Patriots games on their plasma TVs. One small complaint. It's a bit loud. I like loud music, but in here it's tough to hear the person sitting across the table from you. - But the music selection is great, so it's not a major complaint.

Tasty Burger would've gotten three stars if it weren't for our waitress. She never came by to ask if we wanted refills on our drinks, gave us the check when we weren't even done with half of our food and kept trying to make us leave. It was weird because the place wasn't even packed and there were no other customers waiting for seats- why the big hurry? I got the Onion burger ($5.50) and my friend got the Hubba burger ($5.50). Both were really big and juicy. It would've been better if they toasted the bun but I guess every place is different. We also got the 50/50 to share- which is half fries, half fried onion curls ($4). One thing I really liked was the variety of sauces they have at the table. They had the regular (ketchup, mustard, relish) and they also had sriracha and bbq sauce. Overall, good portions, decent taste, bad service.

I lived in the Fenway area for a number of years and was a huge fan of the delicious veggie burger with extra dill pickles. Tasty Burger is a great treat after a long work-week. Finally, on a weekend off I made the trek from downtown Boston to Fenway solely for a yummy veggie burger. I got a seat at the bar, placed my order, and my food was ready to be enjoyed just minutes later. I noticed a group of 4 or 5 guys cheering on a friend who was completing the Colossal All-The-Way Dog Challenge. I understand why restaurants have these, however after my experience I think Tasty should seriously consider removing it from the menu. Once the guy completed the challenge and he suddenly became very serious looking. He didn't look well, and while there was a small bucket beside him he didn't make it anywhere near the bucket. He projectile vomited over half the restaurant multiple times. Puke was everywhere, all over the guy, the bar, floor, and tables. The staff promptly ran to get mops and cleaner, but it was so disgusting I can never go back. Tasty, please take the challenge off the menu! Don't lose any more loyal customers!

Just stopped into Tasty Burger for the first time on July 29th before the Red Sox game. I'm a huge fan of cheese fries, I pretty much have to try them at every place they are offered. We weren't too hungry so we just split an order of spicy cheesy fries. Wow! Sooo good! Tasty burger is a must for our next Boston trip! Can't wait to try out the rest of the menu!

I've come back a few times in the past two months for take-out only. I ordered the single both times with fries, rings and the amazing chicken nuggets. Everything was cooked as requested and my hubby also enjoyed his burger even if it was really messy. The take-out guy put plenty of extra napkins in the bag so bonus points there. I have no idea if the service has improved but I do enjoy the burger. Juicy, hot and very tasty - what's not to love. We just parked in the lot and snacked on our burgers, very nice.

You know those kinds of nites, when you've been out drinking with friends all nite, and it's been hours since you ate anything substantial? You know how those nites always end poorly? (Sausage from a cart at 1:00 am? Never a good idea. Raiding tomorrow's lunch when you get home? Passable until it's lunch time tomorrow. Actually attempting to cook while drunk? Dangerous territory my friends.) Well, Tasty Burger could make those kinds of nites a thing of the past. This former gas station, turned retro-styled, indoor-outdoor, fast food burger joint, open 'til 2 am, is also living up to its name; in my opinion. I love the fact that their burgers are cooked medium by default; so that what you get is flavorful, tender patty delivered quickly in a fresh tasting bun, with equally fresh toppings. My cheeseburger was a little messy, and I found myself scooping a bit of cheese that was sticking to the wrapper back onto the burger. With so many different delicious sounding burgers on their board, I couldn't convince my crew to order a sack of burgers, hard as I tried. I love French fries, but rarely order them at fast food places because I am always disappointed. But after stealing a few of Ben L's fries last nite, I was disappointed in myself for not having faith and ordering up my own. They are thin cut, but they also are perfectly crispy, lightly seasoned and you can actually taste the potato rather than just grease and salt which seems to be the taste that most Americans want in their fries. The few onion strings I also stole from a companion were not too greasy, and again, the taste of the onions really came through. Non-food related details that I noticed, even from the perspective of ordering outside from the walk-up window included heaters built in under the awning, which helped keep the chill out of this dreary, wet evening, an actual parking lot (but probably not on game days!), and attentive service. When it comes to fast food burger joints, where "meh" has become the passable norm, this *is* as good as it gets.

Great drunk food. Or anytime food. Very reminiscent of five guys. Fast food without the skeezyness or self loathing that comes with eating at McDonalds, BK, or Wendy's.

Onion burger is my Jesus. I have never had a better burger. I've tried a bunch of them on the menu, and loved every single one. I come here at least once a week, sometimes twice. I may gain 300 lbs but it's sooo worth it. Same owners as Citizen Public house so you know it's quality. These people know what they are doing, unlike a bunch of other places in the neighborhood. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent prices. They are literally doing everything right!

Great burger options, thin fries and onion rings, perfectly cooked. Will definitely go back. The place is different than the rest of the bars. Great for warm weather!

I had been meaning for quite some time to try Tasty Burger because I had heard it was good and had read the reviews. Unfortunately, good was no where near what it was. I ordered the tasty burger classic and took it home to eat it, and when it got there and cut it in half to eat it, the burger was almost completely raw in the middle. I also ordered the 50/50 for fries and onion rings and the fries were actually quite good, but the onion rings were messy and again, way too greasy. I will not be eating here again.

When did this place open? Walking down Boylston in Fenway recently, we noticed that what was formerly an old gas station is now a souped-up, diner-style burger joint within a block or two of Fenway Park. That said: -The organization of the place is weird. There wasn't a host(ess) waiting inside the door to seat us, nor was there a sign that told us to seat ourselves. The result was that we stood awkwardly for a few minutes while we waited for a table to open up. We were noticed quickly by a waitress once we sat down, but not before then. -Burgers were reasonably-priced, the sides were huge (and only $3 or $4), and they had a respectable (if small) beer selection. -The food itself was good, although not great. The food cost about the same amount as it would at Friendly's, and it was definitely better than Friendly's, but that doesn't exactly make for a catchy slogan. Bottom line is that there wasn't really anything to distinguish it from Boston's other burger joints (Uburger, b.good, etc.), and in some ways it actually came up a little short. It's new, so they have some time to improve, but I probably won't go out of my way to return.

Somebody turned that old gas station over by Fenway into a burger place... I guess I should check it out. The burger scene has gotten pretty crowded in the last couple of years, with any number of would-be east coast In-N-Outs popping up all over town. UBurger holds it down in Kenmore, 5 Guys has sprouted everywhere in the suburbs, and places like Boston Burger Company in Davis are worthwhile new entries. Sadly, Tasty Burger falls just shy of the upper echelon of burgerdom. For one, the patty in my burger was a little thicker and drier than I prefer. I could replicate this burger on a backyard grill, and I'm the kind of guy who prefers his burgers cooked on a griddle, so they stay juicy. Also, there were a limited number of specialty burgers that one could choose from, and none of them were what I *really* wanted. UBurger has specialty burgers, but you can also construct your own creation by mixing and matching toppings. I like that. The take-out window is a great option and gives the place a west coast kind of feel, but on a rainy night I had to go inside, and having tip a waitress or bartender added a few dollars to the cost of the meal - at 5 Guys and UBurger you don't have to bother with this. There's a downside that fries cost a few dollars extra (with no combo options that I saw), but they do offer onion rings and a fries/rings mixture. I want to love you, Tasty. You sell burgers. I like burgers. You have beer. I like beer. But you're serving one of the more affordable and easily accessible foods on the market right now, which means yours have to be all that much better than the competition's.

Worst burger ever! Definitely does not live up to its name! It's a buger joint, the one thing they're suppose to be good at is making burgers! Sadly, Tastey Burger is NOT! I was asked when ordering if my burger cooked medium would be ok, yes, that would have been great, way better than the RAW burger I received! It was so undercoook I could not eat it! I'm talking cold in the middle! Now, sending it back would have been a nice option but I got take out and didn't discover this until I was a few miles down the road after a Red Sox game! There was no going back! Ever!!

When it comes to burger joints, vegetarians usually do not fair well. In the case of Tasty Burger, there is one vegetarian burger option. It's made of mushroom and is actually one of the better burgers I've had. Not In-N-Out good, but something I wouldn't mind eating again if, say, a group of friends all voted on eating there. I also helps that it's super cheap, so you don't feel like you are overpaying for a Morningstar burger or anything. Fries and onion rings are good - I really like that the onion rings are stringy and thin. I love that you can get a 50/50 basket, but good luck finishing it. I think more than half the basket was left intact, even with 3 people sharing it. Next time, I think I'm going to go for the hummus, guacamole and chips. I hear good things. The shake was also good - exactly what you would expect. I shared it with friend and it was more than enough. What really helps give this place 3 stars instead of two is the ambiance. Cool art on the walls. The space sort of mimics the gas station it used to be - there is a garage door that opens in warmer weather. But they've redone it to have just the right touch of retro and the right touch of cool and modern. There's also a pool table and a TV in the back area. When I went, the parking was free, so that was an added bonus. Though $6 is still pretty cheap for Fenway during a game. Overall, I'm not dying to go back. But if I was in the mood for a beer, the veggie burger ain't a bad accompaniment. For more vegetarian reviews, check out: veggiewala.com

Went here for the first time for lunch just to see what all the hype was about and loved it! All the burgers are $5.50 and you can't beat that for any place that's NOT a fast food joint! I had the Black & Blue Burger (which was the special)- it was a burger with blue cheese crumbles and bacon. It was delicious! My friends and I also split the 50/50 (fries and onion rings) which were also very good. FYI, their onion rings aren't the usual thick-cut yellow onions, they're actually very thinly sliced red onions (which I happened to like better!). They were perfect for putting on top of the burger as well as just eating them on the side. Another FYI, all burgers are automatically cooked to medium unless you tell your server otherwise! Lastly, I washed my food down with a neopolitan milkshake. mmm. Definitely considering hanging out at the Fenway bars more often just because Tasty Burger is open until 2am!

I am a vegetarian, except for Tasty Burger!!! This place is fantastic. I'm in love. Their starving student special (burger, fries, and a beer for $10) is perfect.

Have been in two different occasions and ate at the bar. Burgers are good. Not amazing, but aptly named. And you get what you expect with the menu/decor. 50/50 burger/onion rings is definitely the way to go. Great drink options - from shakes to wine to excellent beers. Overall it is a great vibe. Laid back. Casual. Very easy to keep ordering another drink and staying for a bit. Can see this place packed during its first full Sox season... If Josh is working the bar, ask for the brownie sundae. He makes the best one I've had in the city! ;)

Tasty Burger is a decent spot, but it doesn't stand out in the sea of burger joints this city has to offer. I'll probably be back, but I won't be fantasizing about Tasty Burger in my sleep. Before I even get to the food, the building is pretty cool. I like the look of the converted garage, and the street art hanging on the walls definitely fits the vibe. There's a jukebox (computer) and a pool table, plus a bunch of TVs showing football and basketball. It's also a HUGE plus that they have a parking lot, though I wouldn't count on being able to park during the summer. It's just a short walk from Fenway, and those spots are worth about $50 during a game. Regardless, we drove, and we parked. It was awesome. I will, however, agree that the floor is incredibly slippery and I wouldn't want to walk on it when it's wet. Also, I don't trust how airtight those garage doors are. I could see gaps, and I bet they leak in a lot of cold air. But let's talk about food. My boyfriend and I split the 50/50 fries and onion rings (they're really more like onion crisps). The fries were mediocre, but the onion rings were awesome. It was more like 75% fries to 25% onions rings though, which was a little disappointing. I ordered the onion burger on top of that, which had even more onion crisps along with some gooey cheese. It was a very sizable burger, and pretty tasty. While I prefer my burger medium-rare, I like that TB's standard is to cook to medium rather than rare, like so many fast food burger spots. The burger was pretty greasy, but greasy means juicy, so no major complaints. I did think it was sort of weird that my soda was served in a bottle rather than from a fountain, but I can deal with that. Something to keep in mind is TB's Starving Student Special. Burger/cheeseburger, fries, and a draught of bud or bud light for $10. Not that I'm eager to down a bud anytime soon, but for broke college kids who are used to bad "beer," it's probably a great deal.

Never too long a wait even when it's packed. Good Beer choices and the burger combinations are great! Wish the patties were bigger but I guess being so cheap all you have to do is stack 'em! Def a great casual place to grab a bite and a beer.

Island Boy B.

Tasty Burger is a a good old fashioned burger. Exactly what you should expect from a burger in this price range. I like the fact that I can wash it down with a pitcher of beer (with a companion of course). I was very impressed with the onion rings and fries too. The waitress we had may have been having a bad day, but overall, everyone else seemed pretty nice and attentive. It appeared kid friendly too and parking makes it a plus since its in the Fenway.

Steve H.

Definitely a tasty burger. Probably not my favorite burger in Boston, but never disappoints. Great fries and rings too. Basically a gourmet Five Guys, and that's ok with me. Order a double if you want more than a quarter pounder. Also, given the proximity to Fenway Park, you probably want to avoid on a Red Sox game night.

I'm not normally a burger guy, as they WILL kill you. However, on a recent Saturday afternoon visit, Tasty Burger served up a very delicious burger. I got the Onion Burger, that was smothered in fried onions and Swiss cheese. It was amazingly tasty. Lot's of burgers rely on their juiciness (i.e. melted fat) to supply their taste. Something about the seasoning they use here made this burger exceptional. The burgers come by default cooked medium (they ask if that's what you want, so there should be no surprises.) Mine came medium, but I think next time I'll get medium-well or well. I just don't trust that redness in a burger that I didn't cook myself. The fries were nearly as good as McDonald's. The onion strings were REALLY good. They are very greasy, but loaded with onion flavor. Eat them quickly as the flavor fades as they cool (ours arrived piping hot.) I was surprised that they have beer and wine. The Pats were playing and the bar was full of people watching the 3 flat screens. It was still very family-friendly (I was there with my wife and 7 & 9-year olds.) Our waiter was very friendly and efficient. The only reason that I gave 4 stars versus 5 was the ice cream shake. They describe them as having 4 scoops of ice cream. My wife's arrived warm and as thin as chocolate milk. She sent it back and the waiter apologized (profusely!), took it off the bill and gave her a free Diet Coke. He told us that sometimes when they are really busy they make a bunch of shakes at once and it seemed that this one missed some part of the assembly process. You'll definitely have a good meal at this place. (And free parking to boot!)

This place rawks. Cheap, yummy burgers, (love the veggie burger), salads, sides, slushies, and black and white shakes. Very nice staff, cute bar area--with cheap, yes, cheap beers. A converted garage, it is funky and kitsch, but all and all a good time. Great outdoor picnic style seating in the warmer months. I have been for lunch and fater work, but I would say at 1AM this place gets packed-especially on game nights.

Huong N.

In short, food wasn't as good as I expected for a burger joint. Waitress wasn't friendly and we felt like we were being rushed out. She came over and picked up our burger baskets without asking if we were done (I used mine for my ketchup and occasionally put my burger down bc it was greasy). As for environment, it was small and felt crowded although there weren't many people there. The floors were really slippery for some reason. It did just now but the floor was more greasy than wet. Weird! My friend mentioned yelping this place and the waitress happened to walk by and overheard and tried to be more friendly when she came back around. I wouldn't take anyone to this place, it would just be disappointing.

I'm standing here right now waiting for my zum zum shaft. I'm making my way down the menu and everything has been flippin awesome. This is my company's new go to place for lunch and we're in the south end so it's not that close by. And by the way... Zum zum is yum yum And do try the Sausage gravy on the fries...and burgers...and my fave: on a crispy chicken sandwhich. I love you Tasty!!

Tasty burger does have some pretty tasty burgers - this is true. I've eaten 3 different burgers from their menu, as well as their fries and their onion strings. Overall, the food I've eaten here has been good. The burgers hot and juicy, the friest and onions crispy. The onion burger is absolutely delicious. Perhaps their caramelized onions could stand a bit less sugar added, but the sandwich has a ton of flavor and it works. The blue collar is battered and fried with honey mustard. The batter is sweet, and goes surprisingly well with the burger and honey mustard flavors, though I would've liked more honey mustard. The third burger I had was the mushroom burger. It was the least impressive of the three, particularly because I ordered an onion burger and received this instead, despite thrice confirming that i had ordered an onion burger. I'm pretty sure the mushrooms came from a can - which isn't really awful, but I'm not partial to canned shrooms. The cheese was nice and melted, though, and the burger cooked nicely so that it was still a bit pink and juicy. I said that I ordered an onion burger, though. I mentioned this on twitter once i got home. i found out that tasty burger has a twitter presence @tastyburgerusa. This led me to believe that they read and address customer complaints. Perhaps I am spoiled by Boloco's John Pepper, but I digress. I would've just brushed off the lack of reply as the company or owners as not paying much attention to twitter, but they have tweeted a few times since my complaint, the first tweet only three minutes later. After reading some of the other reviews, I do not expect to receive much in the way of friendly and helpful customer service. Since Tasty Burger is so close to my house, I might still go back. The first time I went, they had gotten my brother's order wrong - forgetting the bacon he asked for - but they made up for it by comping his burger. Overall I'm not unhappy with the place, and their recipes are inspired and delicious. I want to try the rest of the menu, including the "all the way" hot dog, which is 1/2 pound with two burger patties, chile, and cheese. wow. if these guys shape up the customer service a bit i might change my review to four or five stars. the burgers i've had when they got my order right were definitely worth the money. oh. and beer! i've since gone back to tasty burger a few times. i still think the food is delicious, but it's hit or miss. sometimes it's awesome, sometimes its just bland. it's never awful, though. but there is still something lacking in the customer service. for a brand new place, i'd expect a lot more charm. are the employees at the window already so jaded with their jobs in the fast food service that they can't offer a little hospitality? i'll still eat there. it's so close to my home. and it is usually tasty.

They changed the fries since they first opened - they are now thinner, shoe-string type things that are no where near as great at the original fries. Bring em back and I'll bring back the star!

Sometimes you don't know how much you needed something until you have it. I guess I'm an open-minded burger guy. As we all know, not all burgers are created equal. When I want a Whopper, I get a Whopper. I know what I'm getting. It tastes pretty good. It's probably not that good for me. When I want to splurge, I'll get a Kobe-beef burger, you know, when my companions are getting "the sea bass" or "the duck confit." I mean, I probably haven't done that more than I can count on one hand, but I'll do it. They taste pretty darn good, too, in their own way. Enter Tasty Burger. It's more an approach than a burger. Retro-hip gas station. Well-done and creative. Take-out window. Novel, and kind of an equalizing move on their part: At all hours, all manner of men, twenty- to fifty-somethings, construction workers, hospital folk, corporate types, ballpark crowds... line up for their burgers. Conclusion: All dudes like burgers, doesn't matter who you are. (I'm not saying that women *don't* go. On the contrary, the dining-in crowd is your young and hip segment that expectedly digs the partly-retro, partly-half-poppy-grunge-minimalist ambience, Samuel Jackson wall graphic, pool table, open garage doors, etc. I'm just saying that, objectively, looks to me that dudes like waiting at take-out windows for a burger.) The burger is not out of this world. But it's above average. Solid taste, minimally seasoned. In this case, the toppings make the burger. And topping options are a plenty. The onion straws are nicely salty and light, although still a little greasy, but that doesn't stop me from ordering them. I even tried a "shaft" the other day on the way to work. It was so big that I ate half before work and the other half during my break. Again, toppings make the shaft. And, apparently, length does matter. Lastly: My gf has tried the veggie burger twice now. (Oh, how I love that she indulges me.) Sort of in a neutral tone, she says it tastes more "tofu-y" than any veggie burger she's had before. The first time, it seemed to sort of fall apart on her. The second, it stayed together to the point that she felt it was a different recipe. That's what you get with homemade, I guess. Anyway, the Fenway has gotten another boost with a fun place that fills a gaping niche that no one realized was empty. But now that it's here, I'm holding on tight, having fun shooting the breeze with the dudes in the takeout line, and on occasion stepping inside for a cold beer to complement the experience.

Oh no. Tasty Burger was so untasty that it inspired me to write my first review! I LOVE me a good burger but the standard no-frills cheeseburger I tried at lunch today was almost inedible... it wasn't cooked! I read the sign (saying they cook everything medium unless specified) before ordering and asked for my burger med-well - it still came out pink and moo-ing. No thanks! I was only able to eat around the perimeter - where it was actually cooked. I went back up for fries and onion rings because I was still so hungry. They were the tastiest thing about my meal. Also, teenie tiny drinks and overall not quite the bargain I was hoping for. Sorry to say this potential Fenway gem just fizzled.

Good, solid, juicy burger that was quickly prepared and served by a friendly staff. The Gorgonzola topping on mine kinda stole the show as it is wont to do.

I went in and ordered from the menu. The waitress was very pleasant and on the ball. My burger was done medium rare which I had asked for and it was cooked perfectly. The fresh vegetables I had as add ons were delicious as was my cooked bacon. I had a chocolate shake to drink and the waitress was smart enough to provide water since the shakes took longer to make than expected. The shakes were creamy and very rich. The fresh cut fries were incredible and needed nothing more than ketchup to become perfect. The food was a bit pricy but well worth it. To quote Samuel L. Jackson, "now that's a tasty burger."

Great burgers and cheap beer. I had the big kahuna burger, a great balance of sweet and heat. The bartenders are always friendly and on top of their game. Great artwork on the walls from one of my favorite movies, Pulp Fiction. How can you beat a tall boy of Ghannset and a burger? You can't. Tasty Burger just wants to make you stand up and say "that's a tasty mother f'ing burger." Check out the Red Sox schedule before you go, this place gets crazy on game day.

It was... in a word... tasty! Went to Tasty Burger after a night out (they are open until 2am!)... it was a nice way to finish up the night. 50/50 onion rings/fries are great option for those of us who are a little indecisive. Tasty got both the rings and the fries right! Yumm! The burger was nothing special, just a well made burger on a soft bun... can't complain. Their milkshakes, on the the other hand, were amazing!! I recommend the Green Monster = mint chocolate chip milkshake. It was blended perfectly... so good. I'll be back for that for sure!

Bad life decisions coming in here... just horrible. First off, this is a land of delicious, meaty, bloody, topping-happy burgers. Then mix in my other favorite thing, a bar, and we're just on a roll at this point. Throw in super friendly bartender Lem, awesome decor, and even a nasty (but somehow I'm deeply curious to see if I can do it) food challenge, and this place makes me want to scream out T-t-t-t-t TASTY, TASTY! Like I said, bad life decisions.

The only way a burger tastes this good and juicy is with a special secret ingredient...the only question is, what is it?

ONION STRINGS = A+++++++++++ Onion strings + shake = meal (You don't even need a burger although they are solid.)

Chef Brian has definitely outdone himself again. They have updated their menu with some new additions. Did I mention they have a free pool table? Probably the only one in the city. Do yourself a favor and get the buffalo tenders. It will not disappoint.

It's all about the onion rings here. DELICIOUS! Ya, ya the burgers and fries were good too, but I'd just get a bucket of onion rings and a raspberry-lime rickey and happily stuff my face in the corner.

Bartender Lem makes it worth your while to visit. For a beer, tell him your go-to beers and he'll recommend something new to try. Guarantee he'll be spot on. Food is probably good too, but let's be honest, who goes to a bar for the food? Definitely an up and coming hot spot, avant-garde beer selection which reflects a bygone era garnished by a friendly staff. Cheers to Lem and the rest of the staff.

This is a revision to my previous review where I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The second time around was a complete u turn. I came here with my girlfriend on saturday to grab a quick bite after our run. They didnt have any slushees, which sucked, but its cool shit happens. We order our food from the bartender, who ends up being the laziest, inattentive individual I've dealt with in literally years. I got a cheeseburger, which was on par with Burger King at best. Her buffalo chicken sandwich was disgusting, borderline inedible. And the weirdest thing: she also ordered an iced tea, and asked for some sugar. Would you know it took five minutes of searching, and all they could come up with was ONE lousy sugar packet? What kind of place is this? Not going back, have fun scamming drunk idiots piling out of Fenway Park, assholes.

Tasty Burger is as close to In & Out as this West Coast transplant has found, with the added bonus of onion rings, hots dogs (shafts) and the best damn neopolitan shake that I have ever had. Their burgers are fresh, massive and delicious and the onion rings and fries come in huge orders (you can definitely split an order between two people) that you can even order as a 50/50 so you don't have to pick favorites. Their beer selection is always changing and never disappointing and you can always pay an extra buck for a koozie to keep you beer nice and cold. The staff are really nice and attentive and the jukebox is always cranking out good music. I love that it is in an old garage; in the summers they open the doors for a great breeze and they used the space that they have well. There is a parking lot and a walk-up window for to-to orders, and even during home Red Sox games we have managed to find a spot in their lot which is partially used for game parking (but you don't have to pay, don't worry). Everyone wants to be good at burgers, but Tasty Burger is one of the few that really does it right and remain fun and casual about it. I'm a fan.

I just had the butter burger medium with a root beer float and fries. I am sugar high and think I'm going to have a heart attack in the next hour. Wow. Good thing there a bunch of hospitals nearby... Great spot though. They have fast and friendly service and they got a pool table! Burger was alright. In and out, all the way.

Simply delicious! I loved my cheeseburger with sauteed onions. Sometimes, there's just nothing better than a burger, and having vowed last year never to go to McDonald's again, I confess I've missed the fast burger experience. I do not mean to say that Tasty Burger and McDonald's should be compared to one another, however, since Tasty Burger is in another league on every level but the drivethrough. I stood at the take-out window and ate my burger in the car on the way to my destination, so I can't comment fairly on the inside, but the window was quick and the guy behind it was really cute. I thought Tasty Burger beat out the apparently popular Five Guys Burgers and Fries (I went to the one in Dedham) hands down. Next time I'm headed out that way, it will be the gorgonzola burger!

Hello Mr. Tasty Burger. You satisfy my hunger craving after a night or drinking at Citizen Oyster House. I love how cheap and greasy you are, (combo of burgers and shoe string french fries for $8). I hope you stick around for the long haul because Boston needs you.

Decent burger (better than 5 Guys) but even better thin fries. They were hot and the oil must have been fresh, as they were golden. Service was fast and friendly. Old gas station with cool funkiness inside. Great art. Bar had The Cartoon Network on the tv. Beer list seemed decent...and in cans.

Tasty burger is not so tasty. It was a really disappointing lunch experience. I just ordered a cheeseburger and fries in order to try the basics. The cheeseburger was so dry and SO SMALL. I felt really sad just looking at it, and another friend said that it looked like something from Dairy Queen just twice the price. Fortunately the fries were better but since they were busy they over salted them - by A LOT. The only thing good that came from Tasty Burger was the mint lime slushie, but that wasn't cooked. Overall, I'd have to be really hard pressed to come back here.

I've watched this old gas station convert into Tasty Burger on my drive to the office...finally today I went here for lunch with my boss and another co-worker. We each had a burger - me the onion burger (carmelized & onion rings on a cheeseburger) they both got the spicy jalapeno burger. All were delicious. We got one order of fries and one of onion rings (made with red onion - YUM!) they were plenty to split between the three of us....both were great. It was so nice to sit outside too and people-watch as we enjoyed our lunch - I'll go back for sure!

We were so curious to try this new place out, especially because we love burgers and compare all to one of our favorite places, UBurger. The pros: great location and lively, fun environment. Love that it was the old gas station. The cons: the food! Surprisingly, you'd think that with a name of "Tasty Burger," the burger would be tasty. But no, they're not. They're mediocre. I ordered the mushroom burger and asked for it without A-1 steak sauce, which the waitress told me they couldn't do. The sauce overwhelmed the burger! My friend ordered the gorgonzola burger which was better. Plus, we got lukewarm fries...ugh! All that said, I'd like to try this place again if the quality of its burgers improves.

Outside of some of the upscale places around town, this is the most Sinfully Delicious burger place you've ever been to. Of course you're there at 1am and perhaps your standards are not quite what they are at earlier hours, but so much the better. The Onion burger is fantastic. Simple, classic burgers and ingredients and so close to Fenway.

I guess I'll add my $.02 to this already heavily reviewed burger heaven. This place seemed to have sprung up over night. I live right in the Fenway and out of no where - BOOM - Tasty Burger. On the outside it looks like it would be a 1950's style do wop diner. I've walked past this place a bunch of times, but it never seemed like it was the right time to try it. One afternoon I had a burger craving so the wife and I said let's give it a go. We were pleasantly surprised to see they had more than a walk up window - and opted for the "sit and eat" route. We walked in to this converted gas station to find a modern, well decorated restaurant. Far from our original expectations. A bar on and several flat screened tv's decorated the back wall. The bar was stocked with strange beers and wines - none of which were particularly exciting to this beer snob - but at the same time I wasn't in the mood for a beer when I visited, so I am going to have to go back with the boys. It was a choose your own seating and the waitress greeted us with a small simple menu. Burgers, dogs, fries or onion rings. I like a place that does one thing right. I got the onion burger and the wifey got a plain hamburger. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty. The fries were golden and delicious, one order was plenty for the both of us. We split a chocolate shake and that was the best decision of the day. It was "order a second one" good. Even after plenty of food and treats the bill was less than 20 bucks for the both of us. The waitress was fun and playful and the atmosphere was relaxed and cool. I will be returning to tasty burger!

Let me just start this review by saying that I've been going to Tasty Burger since it opened and always had a great time. The food is really good, but the staff always made it one of my favorite places to go. This was in the time of John Nugent, Jason Cool, and Josh. That being said, I hadn't stopped in for a while and a friend asked if I wanted to meet there for lunch and to play a game or two of pool. Of course I was game. I was definitely not game for what happened to us. We walked back to the tables by the pool table and waited for a server to come by while we racked up a game of pool. 1) the pool table kept jamming up and took forever to get set up. A manager came by to try to fix it and told us it was going to be that way because they don't have any WD40 nor would they open up the side to get the balls out (mind you the games are free!); 2) the server never came back to see us (15 minutes after walking in) so we went to the bar to get a menu; 3) a guy comes in with 2 small kids and sits at the table next to ours in the back so a server immediately comes over to them while we're waiting at the bar to get a menu; 4) the guy says he has a large group and they're going to need our table (WHAT?!) and the server says "Oh, these are reserved. Didn't anyone tell you?" SERIOUSLY?! We've been waiting for someone to acknowledge us, let alone tell us that our table is reserved. Couldn't you put a sign on them? Couldn't the manager have told us when she came back to fix the pool table? 5) Not wanting to sit next to multiple 2+ year olds, we moved to the bar. (Still haven't been asked if we wanted to order anything at this point or even apologize for having to move) 6) Sat at the bar and the bartender had absolutely NO personality. I guess I was expecting some kind of conversation based on my past experiences with the bartenders (that have since left), but she took our order, stood looking at us awkwardly and listened to our conversation - again, awkwardly. 7) I placed my order and it came out wrong, but I understand they can get busy at times and things get overlooked All in all, my friend and I both agreed that it's not the fun place it used to be AT ALL. If I want a burger in the future, I'll go to the take out window and eat it at home. On the one plus side, they have a good beer list developing. But I don't think the beer list could convince me to go back there anytime soon...which is sad since friends and I were going there multiple times a week for trivia, beer, food and the bar staff.

Corydon S.

I walking to the subway, I was sucked in by the this neat little burger joint. The smell of cooking burgers hit me as I walked up to place my order at the small take-out window. The women who helped me was cheery, which is always appreciated. I don't eat meat and what passes for a veggie burger usually fails on me, so I ordered the epically unhealthy fries with cheese added on. Besides being a bit over salted they were nearly perfect as junk food goes. Instead of using hard cheese melted on top, the cheese they use here similar to homemade Mac & Cheese sauce. To top it off they throw on some chopped scallion. A few salt shakes away from being the best fries I have had.

This place was great. Went in on a Sunday around 11:30 before a 1:35 sox game. RIDICULOUSLY fast service. Burgers were pretty greasy but delicious. Onion strings were good. I was a big fan of the beer selection. Nice overall variety of styles and breweries. I highly recommend the SixPoint Sweet Action Ale. Top it all off with cool helpful bartenders and a free pool table?? I'll be coming back here whenever I am in the area.

Shan C.

I'm am very happy to see a new restaurant in the Fenway, especially something not so expensive. I will give it four stars even though I was prepared to give it three because the service was great and very friendly upon entering. But I simply was not 'blown away' by this place. I love the idea and how the place looks, but was not thrilled or moved by the 'tasty'-ness of the burgers. Onion strings-eh they were almost no onions in them. I will be back to taste again.

Ra Ra W.

Very disappointed... I order a veggie burger, 50/50 fries and onion rings, and a strawberry shake. Everything was okay except for the veggie burger. ..The description says "loaded with veggies" which is completely inaccurate. It was more like a nothing but mushroom burger! I absolutely hate mushrooms but don't mind a couple here and there mixed in with my food, this though absolutely did me over! I tried picking out the mushrooms until I realized my whole burger was gone. Service was great and prompt, but I regretfully can not say the same about the food.
(2)
Ryan A.

The service was amazingly fast. You could call this fast food. The burgers were good for the price, a little on the greasy side. Nice beer selection. Unfortunately the meal was ruined for one of us when two long hairs were found in the burger but the waitor was ready to make it right but she had already eaten most of the meal and didn't decide to raise a fuss.

i love when delicious, down to earth, new restaurants open up in my neighborhood. even better, this place is super affordable (which is kind of unusual these days in fenway...) i'm not a huge fan of beef burgers so i usually order a burger (i like the onion burger) but replace the meat with a veggie patty which is pretty dang good. but i think the thing that keeps me coming back is their onion rings. they're not the soggy, thick cut kind but the super skinny, crispy, light kind. the last time i was here, i ordered a chili cheese dog. i was a bit surprised at the price but when it came to my table, it totally made sense. the thing is a beast! they also had a special that day... chicken and waffles! i had been raving about chicken and waffles to my boyfriend so he had to try it. crispy waffles, tons of syrup, crunchy fried chicken, and rivers of gravy. it wasn't like roscoe's in california but still good and very rich.

yesterday was my first time here and i've lived in fenway for 3 years! (Sorry FAIL i know) Nothing fancy about the food unless you get some of the AWESOME specialty burgers which they switch up each day (I follow on Facebook nom nom nom). Service is excellent and a great place to eat lunch because it's FAST! What a great atmosphere and staff. Did I mention the price is very reasonable for Fenway? it is. I'll be back...very soon!

Your drunk ass would love nothing better than a greasy, cheesy, fatty, scrumptious hamburger at 2am. And where can you get one? Fucking Tasty Burger. Delicious, reasonably priced (but more expensive than McDonalds) hamburgers, fries, shakes, hot dogs, you name it. The service is good and the restaurant is clean inside. Try the bacon cheeseburger it will knock your socks off!
(4)
Aaron W.

One of the best burger joints in the U.S. hands down. You can get a hamburger, turkey burger, veggie burger, or hotdog with almost anything one can think of adding on. Fries are SPECTACULAR. Staff is very friendly and look like they enjoy working there. They have a few beers and wines but no liquor. Plenty of big TVs to watch sports too. I don't know anywhere else in Boston where you can get a burger, fries, and a pint of Miller Lite for $10. I've been at least a dozen times in the last year and hope to go that many more times.

Adrienne M.

I had to give this place another shot. I wanted to love it, REALLY wanted to love it. Reminded me of Johnny Rockets which I haven't seen around here. So, I figured the first experience was bad maybe because they just opened and had not gotten their s#@t together yet. It happens, right? I was already excited when I saw they lowered their prices from the last time I was there. I decided to order what I got last time but the whole shebang this time;burger,fries and a shake. Since the damned burger doesn't come with cheese, they also get you an extra 50 cents for that. The whole things came to about $13! Common, this fast food, not fine dining. After paying that I was prepared for a meal beyond meals. The shake, alright. It was a chocolate shake. The fries, again, alright. Better when I added salt. The burger,(turkey), why do they have so much trouble with a burger? They advertise about cooking medium, yet when I bite into it all I taste is char which overpowers everything. Also, if they are going to charge restaurant prices, then serve restaurant quality food. If not, then lower your damned prices. I don't know if possibly I am NOT seeing what everyone else is seeing in this place, or if everyone is so drunk when they eat that they will be satisfied with a paper plate covered in catchup.

I love Tasty Burger. Delicious unpretentious greasy burgers to shove in my face while making poor dietary decisions while perhaps slightly intoxicated. The mushroom burger, fries with a side of honey mustard, and a tall boy of high life for under 15 bucks is the way to go!
(4)
PT V.

This place was, how do you say in your language...Uh....pretty bad. undercooked meat (and I know and am cool with what medium rare should be and understand that means red and blood and stuff, but this was borderline raw) , only 2 cheeses to choose from (swiss and colby jack) which was weak. How about some straight up cheddar or American. Nope. Someone had the audacity to say this was better than UBurger. All I can say is if I remember who told me that, I'm gonna pimp slap them. I will never go back, although it is open til 2am, so I leave myself the being drunk and making a bad decision disclaimer....

Tasty Burger is very, very tasty! As a New Yorker, I don't know what the hotspots are in Boston. I actually just found this place on my iPhone Yelp app while on my way to Regal Fenway and saw it's one of the few places in Boston which are open late. I went here with my dad and both of us were thoroughly impressed. We got the jalapeÃ±o burger with bacon added to-go and it's probably the best burger I've had (dad says In-N-Out is still better). We went back around a week later to dine-in and ended up getting the same burger; I got Nitro Nuggets and a root beer float as sides and he got cheese fries. The nuggets were actually quite hot and the root beer float was delicious. I also tried some of the cheese fries which were really good. Our waitress was very nice; the staff are all dressed casually as the place is very casual itself with a pool table inside and a roomy floor. The service is also really quick; your burgers and sides are all there before you know it. Also, the double burger is beyond filling so don't choose that unless you're absolutely starving!

Jim K.

I joined Yelp to write a review for Tasty Burger. The first time I went in was when they were new and only had been opened for a month. I was blown away then and still am pleased every time I go in. The burgers are fantastic. The fries with the sausage gravy are out of this world. The shakes are the best anywhere. All this for approximately $13. Can't beat that! I was a college student in Boston for six years, and I wish I had Tasty Burger the whole time. I will never forget this place!
(5)
Brian D.

Went back and tried the Hot Dogs. They are also, just, REALLY good. That, plus the take out counter still producing good quality food relatively quickly means the whole thing is good enough for me to round up and make it a full-fledged four star review.

Bob D.

Awesome place to get your fat on for a reasonable price. Can't go wrong with pitchers of beer, burgers, fries, onion rings, and if I may recommend, the nitro nuggets. My only complaint was that the mutton-chopped bartender was trying to hard to friendly/charismatic. I don't mind some nice convo from the barkeep, but the dude kept calling me Derek and my name is Bob. It doesn't take that long to read someone's license when you check their ID. If you're gonna be the friendly bartender, get the name right. I also think this place should buy me a new bathing suit because mine doesn't fit anymore.
(4)
Smiling C.

I love the ambiance of this place, but wish the food was more up to par. They have a lot of magic 8 balls on the bar (even a sarcastic one) and rubix cubes. They even had a trivia set. So no need to worry if your company is kinda boring, you can keep yourself entertained. They have a pool table that's free and a jukebox that was jamming out the 80s hits when I was there. Unfortunately, the bun on my turkey burger disintegrated in my hands (I like soft, but not THAT soft). The onion rings are the stringy kind, not the thick hearty ones, which was a bummer. Despite the food issues, I'm willing to go back since it's a great place to chill & the food is so affordable.

Val B.

Heard great things about this place so decided to go here on a whim cause I haven't had a burger type thing for a very long time and they have a bean burger(I'm a veg-face) and my bf had a craving for beef (he's not a veg-face). I like the fact that they kept it looking like a gas station, that was pretty neat. However the floor was extremely slippery. I don't know if they just buffed the floor or if they wanted to add to the whole gas station feeling theme and just oiled the whole thing, but it was very uncomfortable walking to the table (and I had Dr Martens on which aren't prone to slipping). The waitress was very friendly and the menu is like you would expect from a burger place. So I got the bean burger, boyfriend got the Big Kahuna and we got fries with gravy. All excited cause you know, eating a burger is like a treat for me, since it's hard to find a good veggie burger. And it's still very hard to find a veggie burger. Holy crap was that thing SAAAALLLTTYYYY. One bite and my face got into freeze mode for a split second and then my jaws began to hurt (similar as when you eat a lemon and the acid 'pinches' your jaws). I thought "maybe I need to get used to the taste?" and tried another bite. But no, my stomach didn't want it and said 'WOA if that's it, I'm full'. I didn't taste anything except for salt. So to get the salt taste out of my mouth, I fished through the fries to find one without gravy and that worked. The fries were crispy as they should be, but just like the burger it was a little too salty. My boyfriend wasn't impressed with the Big Kahuna. He likes different tastes, so that's why he picked the Kahuna (pineapple and teryaki) but he didn't finish it, which was surprising cause he can eat. When the waitress came back to check up on us she saw my burger with 2 bites out of it so I told her that it was too salty. She was very apologetic and offered something else but I just wanted to leave. I know it's hard to make a good veggie burger, I've been to many places where they have bean burgers and none of them have been worth coming back for. But this was just insane how salty it was. Not coming back here again.

Adrienne D.

Went in on Sunday after a 7 hour ride from upstate New York. Wow. What a seriously good burger (got the onion burger) and split the 50/50 with my friend. Tasty is a modest adjective. Outstanding Burger should be the name, but, alas, not as snappy. Will go again for sure, just NOT on game day. This is located directly behind Fenway. And there's parking in their lot but on game day I'd imagine it's a nightmare.
(4)
Scott M.

It was just ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. I personally think Chili's burgers are better tasting and a better value. The hot dogs are HUGE and locally made. My Coney Island dog was tasty with the chili and celery salt. I would have just preferred a toasted or grilled butter bun. The bartender was awesome, very friendly and accommodating.

Erika O.

Good burgers! I had the jalapeÃ±o burger my first visit and the cheeseburger on my second visit. They were both really good, juicy, slightly greasy, and very flavorful. The burgers are not so large that you have leftovers, but not too small that you are craving for more. I felt completely satisfied. As everyone else said, order the 50/50 and then throw those onion strings on your burger, you won't regret it. We went on a Friday night our first visit and we couldn't park in the lot, which sucked (apparently on the weekends you have to pay to park in the lot because Tasty Burger does not own it). Fortunately, we found parking just a block away. It was packed once inside of the restaurant, but we found a table within a few minutes. Our second visit we went on a Tuesday night so the parking lot was available. We sat at the bar and that was pretty cool because they have tons of magic 8 balls, rubix cubes, and other games to play. I wish they had a larger beer selection, but the Hoegaarden is good for now. I'm looking forward to getting back to Tasty Burger once it's warmer, to sit out on the patio.

Four stars for my first time visit of which I shall be going back again. The service was wonderful, the mood was fun and the decor was enjoyable to admire. The location is in a prime spot, right next to Fenway Park, a nice spot for food after a game because guess what! They are open until 2 am serving food! Which brings me to the best part of this review, their food! Their menu is simple and has variety, the burgers, the fries, the beer, and the milkshakes are simply delicious. They do have take out for those who are on the fly or just passing by. The kind of simple food you get brings plenty of taste. I will certainly go there again, as a matter of fact, I am heading there tonight!

Alyssa H.

They should change the first letter from a T to an N .. I had a turkey burger which came out cold the first time and then topping-less the second time. I unfortunately tasted it all evening. Onion strings are literally strings with very little onion. The only nice thing I can say is that it was cheap and my burger was taken off the bill without my asking.
(1)
JP C.

Best, best fast food cheeseburger in Boston. The first time I went, I was blown away. These burgers taste like they came right off the grill. The service is fast, and I really like the outdoor parking lot seating area for a quick bite. For nicer sit-down service (with beer!), they have an indoor area as well. Only complaint - too many kids in the parking lot making pulp fiction jokes :)
(5)
Colter L.

I went here last night and was utterly disappointed. Despite being well-staffed, the service was slow. I ordered the hummus and chips (which costs $5), expecting a reasonable amount of both but instead received a huge basket of chips with a small scoop of dip. The Kahuna burger was an interesting twist, but that's the only plus I can give this place.

Great place to grab a late night burger and beer! It is somewhat chilly inside because of the garage doors that double as walls. I'll be back again when I'm with friends in Fenway.

Variety of selection - crappy. Quality of food - subpar. Water down soda and gross rootbeer floats. Add small portions and overpriced to this combination Tasty Burger is not so tasty. But why do I continue to go back? Because its THERE! Located near Fenway, Tasty Burger is one of your best options if you are hankering for a burger, fries or hot dog. Other options include McDonalds and Burger King. Its best quality is that it is open until 2AM.

Holy guacamole! The chips, guacamole and hummus is $5 and enough to feed an army!!

Delicious and such a nice change from normal fast food joints! They have really different burgers with toppings like pineaple and avocado but they have run of the mill tastiness as well, like a simple cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger. I especially like that I can get a shirley temple to go, it makes my night every time I go. It's not the quickest place to go especially if you're doing takeout and it's one of the chillier nights but otherwise it's a great little attraction to fill you up at great prices anywhere from 5.50 up for their burgers. Check it out

This place is awesome! The place is themed after the famous Pulp Fiction line from Samuel L. Jackson. "Mmm Mmmm thats one tasty burger" The menu is basic with burgers starting around 7$ They have quite a few burger variations and a good selection of appetizers. They have beer by the bottle, glass, or pitcher. I have to say my burger was overly greasy and half crushed so other than that the fries and rings were good. I would go back and try another burger.

A second visit: Tasty deserves credit for their recipes: fries crispy and light, a delicious burger, and their very appealing rings.

Best cooked burger I've had in Boston. It was perfectly pink in the middle (which doesn't scare me in the slightest, and shouldn't for that matter) and very classic. Can't lose with the double cheeseburger. It was pretty busy, but we didn't have to wait that long. I could see if you were ordering from the window in the winter that it might be very inconvenient and uncomfortable, but that hasn't been the case yet... we shall see. Comparable price to every other burger joint. I had a great experience and would certainly recommend it.

Far from "Tastiest Burger" and a bit overpriced...this cute 50s-sock-hop-esque joint is cute and has a good ambiance. I wish I could give more than 3 stars. Service was on par. Not the most friendly or talkative server, but he did his job and checked on us every once in awhile. Food quality, along with pricing was the downfall of my star generosity. Between my boyfriend and I we ordered the "Chips with Guacamole & Hummus" for a starter and then both ordered shakes and burgers. I got the classic Bacon Cheeseburger (you can't mess that up), and he got the Mushroom Burger. For $5 A SHAKE, I expected a large glass to come out along with the metal cup they made the shake in with extras. It sadly did not...in fact, it came in a medium-large sized McDonalds cup (but with Tasty Burger on it instead) and NO extras. It was a very small size for a shake, and I was ready to forgive if it was the best shake I'd ever had. It was not. The burgers were pretty good but were TINY compared to what other restaurants offer around this area for the same price. My boyfriend commented after finishing his in 30 seconds, saying "UBurger has way better burgers and for a better value, too". I'm sure their shakes have more substance too. The chips & guac/hummus were finally "Tasty"!, but alas, you could get better at Qdoba down the street. All in all, this place is a fun joint where you can get together with friends and have a good time. I'm sure we will be back sometime soon to try out the Half-Pound "Shaft" Hot Dog...gotta try that...but otherwise we will not be visiting unless either the shakes & burgers are bigger or go down in price or get "Tasty".

just above average compared to some of the other burger joints in the boston area. Things that sets it apart from other burger joints is that beer and wine is available and its location to fenway - prime realestate / location with outdoor seating.

Guilt flavored food, in an unusual location. Totally worth it on a mid summers night, especially before a concert on Lansdowne.

Katie S.

Amazing. They're open until 2am!! Which is really just awesome. And the food is the perfect greasy meal at a very reasonable price. One thing - if you go there, you need to get a shake. They're a bit overpriced, but absolutely delish.

A really decent place for a quick dinner in Fenway. My boyfriend and I are always looking for quick and cheap restaurants that still let us feel like we're getting away from campus, so Tasty Burger is a great way to feel like we're even just on a little date. We both had plan bacon cheeseburgers - though the innovative burgers and hot dogs seemed interesting, I couldn't bring myself to try something too crazy. We each had our own basket of fries (too good to share). Their sodas aren't fountain though - skip it or bring a bottle from home.

When I first heard that the guys from one of my all-time favorite Boston restaurants, Franklin Cafe, were opening Tasty Burger on the real estate once housed by a decrepit gas station, I eagerly waited for them to open their doors -- the wait was worth it! Not only does the new building look like a 50s burger joint with a well-designed neon beacon of a sign, but it has a digital jukebox, free pool, and a mural of Samuel L. Jackson eating that "one tasty burger" on the wall when you walk in -- so atmosphere and decor get 5/5 stars. The first time I went we sat at the bar and Josh walked us through the menu and answered our questions about the ingredients etc. Now whenever we go and Josh is working we'll go sit at the bar to hang out with him. I had to try the onion burger and it did not disappoint. How could it when you have onions two ways on one burger?! I went with the bf and we decided to also split the All the Way which was delicious due to the plethora of artery-clogging meats and cheese. The hot dog tasted great and I loved the casing -- definitely worth the extra couple bucks considering the size and quality of the dog as compared to Spike's for instance. They do have a challenge to eat something ridiculous like 3 of the "All the Ways" to get on their wall of shame. Also keep an eye on the wall for rotating beers and burger specials. I'm often tempted to order two different burgers because the combinations are all so good but beware, it's more food than you might think in conjunction with a 50/50 and/or a shake. The second (or third?) time I went I tried the spicy jalapeno which may now be my favorite burger fixture they have. So spicy, but so good you can't stop eating it! I also had the Big Kahuna --inspired by the fictional fast-food chain from "Pulp Fiction" -- and it was pretty solid. I would order it again at some point after going back a few times. The beef tastes of quality although I'm not sure what their lean/fat ratio is... could possibly use a bit more fat like an 80/20 given the small size of the burgers; however they are always juicy and well cooked (unless you're an idiot and get it "well"). I have a slight issue with their onion strings... just not that inspired, a little hard to eat especially if you dip them in anything, and they can get mushy if they're not piping hot. Their fries are pretty good, but maybe they should offer a waffle fry instead of the onion strings (just stick w/ the rings). Other than that small complaint, the overall food, service, and quality is excellent. Great place to bring pretty much anyone for a cheap good time -- family, friends, coworkers, a little something for everyone. I would like to give 4.5 stars... they're so close to a 5!

finally, onion rings that are not dipped in batter and have no taste. the rings here are skinny greasy{not too} and tasty burger was good but i should have gotten the double

Went looking for a late night milkshake fix and found this place was open until 2 am. Cool atmosphere, friendly and prompt service. Milkshake was well done, burger was fresh and very good. Reasonable prices. Definitely coming back!

Decent burger that simply must be ordered "medium well". First attempt came out nearly raw in the middle - second try was much better. Fries solid if not spectacular. Turkey burger loaded up with WAY too heavy on the spices. Location within the shadow of Fenway Park.

Jameson M.

Place is awesome, great idea with the Pulp Fiction theme and renovated fire station/garage. Prices are not dirt cheap, but suitable for location (around the corner from Fenway), and the free pool table is a plus. Only major con is that the burgers come without fries, but you can order them separately as a side. Sometimes it does get busy irregardless of game season, and they'll rush you out for table space. It does have some off nights, but generally one of the best (veggie) burgers I've had in the city. Would be awesome to see some low fat shakes (frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and skim or non-dairy milk).

I love the fact that I can run across the street during my lunch break and get some delicious food with fantastic service. I am a huge fan of their burgers; the blue collar? AMAZING But seriously, get the sausage gravy fries. I LOVE THOSE! The burgers are kind of small, but still delicious.

I have been going to Tasty burger for at least 6 months now.. and I go at least once every two weeks. Burgers are great -- DEE-LISHIOUS... the floor problems were fixed (slipperyness), and the service could always be a bit better, but this is really connected to WHO you get as a wait person. On the down side, sometimes the music is so loud I can not hear other people in my party of four.. and we like to have our burgers and catch up on gossip etc. My guess is the bartender decides how loud to make it... well, that's just my opinion. The downer of my last visit was that the fries appeared to be almost shoe-string size and I think this is different. They are still hand selected, and probably sliced on the premises, but the smaller ones are not as tasty... but this is just my preference. I wish they'd switch to soda on tap, instead of servicing you a 20 ounce drink in the plastic soda bottle.. just seems like it's not the 'greenest' thing to do. Ok.. great burgers... OH and the NITRO nuggets (buff chicken) are to DIE for. :-)

Accompanied by out-of-town friends on the day after Thanksgiving, I paid my first visit to Tasty Burger. Yup, they're tasty all right (the burgers, not my friends) and filling. You can order any burger single or double-sized, but I can't imagine consuming the latter; the single is a 6 oz. beauty on a sesame seed bun, which was plenty for me. We also tried the 50/50 fries and fried onions plate: great fries, but the onions were so-so (they reminded me of those canned "onion rings" that Mom sprinkles on top of the green bean casserole for holiday dinners). A black-and-white shake was to die for, and my mug of Harpoon draft frosty-licious. The wait staff is friendly and accommodating, and the retro-contempo decor lets you get in touch with your inner Richie Cunningham. Tasty Burger is definitely a player in the Boston burger market.

Great food and awesome atmosphere!! Defintiely a restaurant my boyfriend and I go to multiple times a week. Burgers are great and my boyfriend and I are obsessed with their milkshakes and slushies! Definitely great if you need a meal on the go. Free pool and fun music on the jukebox. My only gripe is the floors are extremely slippery!! I have to, honestly, shuffle my feet all the way to the bathroom and back because the floors are so slippery.

The first time I went to Tasty Burger was only a week and a half after it opened. Not knowing what to expect I went in with only the expectations my friends gave me, as they were talking it up so much. I ordered the bacon cheese burger. this was one of the best, and juiciest burgers I have ever eaten. the burger went perfectly with the french fries with sausage gravy on top. the best way to describe the sausage gravy, would be to say that it looks like your cat puked on your fries. rest assure it is one of the most delicious things you can eat here the second time I went here was just eight minutes before close, and they still let us in to eat, we even sat and talked with the owner for a little bit. I love the atmosphere here, they have the best music selection I have ever heard in a restaurant. the service varies from spot on, to less than satisfactory, but having worked in the restaurant industry since I was 16 I know that there is no such thing as perfect service every time. it can get a little loud when it is full, but that can prove for a fun atmosphere. I really like how the owner was able to turn an old gas station into a burger joint, this is one of my favorite places to eat late night, I am always looking for an excuse to go back

Love Tasty Burger! Every burger on the menu is delicious, and very inexpensive. I like the fact that their burgers are not overly greasy and that they serve the 50/50 half onion strings and half fries. Awesome. Beer menu sucks, but that's easily overshadowed by the awesome burgers. The food comes quickly and the waitstaff is terrific. Especially this one girl, I forgot her name :( Super friendly. Definitely give this place a try.

Damn this was one tasty burger, better than expected. I had it with caramelized and crispy onions, blue cheese and mushrooms. Wow. Having just moved from California, I thought I'd miss having In and Outs to go to, but this hit the spot. Good prices, especially now that places are charging $15 for a burger (without being anything exceptional), which is closer to $20 with tax and tip. Love the Pulp Fiction artwork inside, cool vibe, great burger. Will try the fries next time I have someone to share with.

Tried Tasty Burger today for the first time. Not bad. Not great either. First, not sure where all the bad service reviews came from. Maybe we hit it on a good day (Sunday by the way). Our server was awesome. We did sit at the bar though. She was super friendly, very helpful and quick. No problem on the service front. Food came fast too, so no problem there. I was considering taking the challenge, which is three loaded dogs (burger, dog, chilli and cheese on a hot dog bun) in under an hour, but since I didn't know if I'd enjoy the food, I opted against it. I got the ZuZu shaft and the blue collar deep fried burger. The dog was good, and really big if you like that kind of thing (that's what she said). A little too big for my liking but I made due. The bun was kind of like the sub roll type, and very good. Soft and moist, although my buddy said he would have liked it toasted. It came with home made sauerkraut and spicy mustard. Simple yet good. But not crave worthy. Not sure what it was, but I was left wanting something more, and not just toppings. The burger was the first deep fried burger I ever had, so I was intrigued and willing to take a chance. Again, not bad, but not crave worthy. It came with a deep fried burger, obviously, and honey mustard. A sweet tangy burger, but again, nothing I'll be craving later. The best option were their fries. Great fries. Crispy outside soft inside, and the real killer was the sausage gravy you could get with it. THAT might be crave worthy! The sausage was so chunky you could eat it with a fork. Fantastic. I'd get the sausage gravy by itself if I could. My wife got a coffee shake which was very good, and the Gorgonzola burger, which she also confirmed left her wanting more. But the atmosphere was cool, I could get a beer and watch the game and the food was solid. I won't be making any special trips though. If you want a great burger, go to Five Guys or better yet, go to Cali and to In n Out. My buddy even said Chilli's had a superior burger, which is saying a lot when the place is called "Tasty Burger". If I'm in town and passing by, I might stop in if it's not busy.

Oh. My. God. Best drunk food ever!! The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is that I was drunk and that may have influenced what felt like a religious experience. I had a huge burger with fried onions and bacon last night at about 2am and never has something hit the spot like it. So what if taking home a big greasy tasty burger was a fattening replacement for taking home a man? I daresay I'll go back sober when I get a burger craving.

Recently retried Tasty Burger. The Black and White shake was excellent: thick and tasty. Actually, the straws are now too thin for the shakes. Also, I think you need to order the $6 double burgers here to get some heft and juiciness. On a side note, the pepper shakers are cute mini Coke bottles but otherwise ineffective at actually shaking out pepper as the holes at the top are too small. They are fine for salt.

Joshua P.

Extremely tasty (no pun intended) burger, fast, hot, and actually served the way I ordered it (rare, not overdone). Staff was friendly and quick with all courses. Burger menu may seem a tad small, but even the standard cheeseburger is amazing. Don't let the 'hole in the wall' look fool you out of an outstanding burger. Do yourself a favor, snag any burger on the menu along with fries, and an amazing shake and dig in.

After much haranguing by my peps, I decided to give this place a try after a shift one night last week (I had to be torn away from my usual haunt, CCC in Coolidge Corner, best known for having lots of beers and absolutely horrific service). But, then, I ended up back at TB again the next night! All I can say is, that turkey burger is damn addictive. TB has very reasonably priced food and drink ($10 for a beer and a "fancy" burger). They do have a rather odd selection of beers on draft, thankfully including Bass and Harpoon IPA. The waitstaff was fantastic (super friendly, laid back and accomodating) both nights I was there.

I went to Tasty Burger last night with my best friend for his birthday dinner. After checking out the menu and reading about it on one of my favorite local food blogs, we were psyched to check it out. Unfortunately, Tasty Burger left something to be desired. The restaurant itself is very cool, good jukebox ("In the Garage" by Weezer = WIN!), our waitress was awesome; busy but still attentive, and the art is pretty dope. Now onto the food, because that's what you're really here to read about. I got the onion burger with bacon, my BFF got a bacon cheeseburger, and we split the 50/50 (fries and onion rings). The food came out pretty quickly Come to find out, the onion rings were not actually rings but more like strings of undercooked, over-seasoned, and super salty breading with a hint of onion. The fries were OK, crisp and well fried but also WAY too salty. BFF said his burger was good, the bacon was crisp but nothing above and beyond a typical bacon cheeseburger. My onion burger was...something else. The caramelized onions on the burger are phenomenal, they're so good they kind of act as their own kind of BBQ-y, onion-y sauce. Delicious. Unfortunately the onion burger also features the previously mentioned (and dreadful) onion strings. Blerg. Those plus the lack of any of the usual toppings killed my burger for me. As a whole experience, Tasty Burger wasn't so much tasty as it was decent; but who would want to go to a place called "Decent Burger"?

Lili M.

For a fast, yummy, cheap burger, I think this is a very good choice. I'm spoiled a bit by having had In n Out several times before in my life but Tasty Burger has it's own flavoring and uniqueness that makes the place worth a try. The fries are thin and perfectly golden and the extra toppings you can add to your order allows you to make a unique meal for yourself. Also try their shakes...

The atmosphere was pretty cool. The Nitro Nuggets were so YUMMY!!! Lime Mint slush was delicious and refreshing!!! I got a Butta Burger. Was pretty good. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. But I got to go back for the Nitro Nuggets...they will keep me going back...often...

Tasty burger (TB) may save my marriage. My husband loves burgers, but is a bit particular on what makes "a good burger" (he is from Cali, and hearts In&Out Burger) so this means we are on an endless quest for a good burger joint everywhere else we have lived. Generally this makes me have to roll my eyes when the burger subject comes up. Alas, I was away when TB opened and heard for DAYS how fantastic it was. I have now been myself and am a fan of both the mushroom and Gorgonzola burgers. Some reviewers have commented that it would be cheaper to go to BK (Burger King), etc. Really?? Yes, you could go to BK and get a "burger" for less, but you are really getting cow cartilage/etc (hello SuperSize Me, FastFood Nation, etc) and not actually all beef. But I digress, the coffee shake was also great. More importantly when I am craving a burger I can now look to my husband and say, "Lets go to Tasty Burger." He will eagerly say "Yes" and I won't have to listen to a tirade about why the burger is inferior. TB, marriage saver !

Best selection of burgers ever! Really imaginative and cheap, but they still taste really great. Also great frappes, daily special burgers, and a fun noisy atmosphere right next to Fenway. They're open until 2am every day! This place cannot be beat for a quick, cheap, and wicked tasty burger!

Went here Friday night after hearing a friend rave about it for the past few weeks. Went with a big group after work and were luckily able to get seats before it got too crowded. The waiter was really friendly and had some good suggestions. I ended up getting the regular cheeseburger because I think the true test of a burger place is how they handle the basics. Also got a side of fries and a mint lime slushie. The burger was good. It tasted flame broiled and there was plenty of cheese, but also a lot of salt. Was definitely a multi-napkin burger. I think I would have enjoyed it more at midnight after a long night out, if that makes sense, so I'll bet they do pretty good business at the walk up window when the bars close. The fries, however were great. They were shoestring cut and nice and crispy, which is great because shoestrings are normally so soggy. They had a lot of salt, but not too much. The slushie was ok. It tasted really syrupy. I ended up having to water it down. Overall, it was pretty good.

The burgers here are okay. Nice topping combinations, and not too complicated of a menu, but the meat is super average.... under seasoned, and overall underwhelming. The price point is spot on however, which is what made me come back for my second visit. During this visit I also ordered a side of 50/50 onion rings and fries ($4), with the cheese sauce added for $2. As I placed my TO GO order I asked the super friendly cashier how the fries were made, whether the cheese sause was of a shredded and melted over the top, or liquid, variety. He told me it was more of a liquid consistency, and when I asked if I could get the sauce on the side because I had a bit of a walk ahead of me he responded immediately, politely cutting me off, saying that they automatically put the cheese sause on the side to ensure that the fries wouldn't get soggy. I was super excited and pleased to hear this, and other wise would have just ordered a regular side of fries and saved my money had he not ensured me of this. Unfortunatelyyyy, and I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt on this miscommunication, when I got home I found a massive pile of soggy cheese and chive covered fries/onion rings at the bottom of my bag. On top of that, the cheese/chive sauce was extremely bland, and heavy to the point of nausea. I started to eat them, but basically just decided to toss the basket. I even attempted to look on the website for an email contact to complain about this incident. Spending $14, not including the over 20% tip I left because of the great customer service, for a burger, fries, and bottle of soda, and only receiving a half assed quality product is not acceptable. I really doubt I'll go back, or maybe I'll go just to sit at the bar, watch a sox game, and eat some plain fries/grab a shake... but I'll make little more investment than that.

I've been here a few times and most of the time its great. The food is cooked up quick for you and they have options for indoor and outdoor seating. The tables are always clean and a bonus for dog lovers, they have a big water bowl for the pups. The staff has always been very friendly and the food is good.

I went there before a Red Sox game recently. (Which they beat the Angels, 9-5) When I parked my motorcycle, I asked one of the not so friendly uniformed BPD officers, if Tasty Burger was any good. He told me no. I figured that I would try it anyway. I am soooo glad that I did. I had a double bacon cheeseburger, (No tomato or lettuce, do I look like a rabbit?) and a Diet Coke. I am watching my weight, you know. The texture of the burger was a little on the mushy side, but it was one of the best tasting burgers that I have had in quite a while. The inside dining room was very busy, but, the "patio" had a few tables available. So, I sat outside. While I was eating, I noticed that the building is an old gas station. they didn't do much to convert it. The large bay doors were even still there. When I saw that, I was glad that I ate outside, It was better for people watching. If you are in the neighborhood, check it out.

A new burger joint? Don't mind if I do. Trying to resist knocking down the doors before they opened, I decided to give Tasty Burger a little time to work out any new restaurant kinks. But I couldn't wait any longer, Saturday was National Cheeseburger Day and there was no way I wasn't going somewhere. Right behind Fenway Park, and steps away from one of my least favorite burgers in the city, (Remy's) Tasty Burger stands out as a former gas station turned restaurant, it looks vintage, even right down to the take-out window open until 2 am. But it's sort of an identity crisis right from the start. I'm expecting fast-food, classic 50s style burgers, but someone is there to greet us and open the door as we walk in. No complaint there, but the dim lighting and a full bar confuses me when they're clearly going for that old school West-Coast burger chain inspiration. The best of both worlds? Not for me, I'd rather one or the other, but that's me. The service is quick and borderline too aggressive, as we're asked how everything is literally six times before I've even had a bite of food. Early restaurant jitters aside, this was a bit on the annoying end of customer service. But still, I'll take the frequent check-ins over an impossible to find server any day.There are a few burgers to choose from, all very reasonably priced starting at just $4, but just one cheese option in Colby-Jack, strange I think for a burger joint to only offer one type of cheese, unless I'm missing something. I've been completely skeptical of the burgers because they're cut from the tenderloin, which as we all know is way too lean to work for a burger. But the burgers are seasoned nicely, coming out as a pretty good medium-rare, despite never asking how I wanted it cooked. Seasoned well, yes, but flavorful not so much. Again, just too lean of a cut, and you can tell, it's a nice pink-ish hue inside, but very little moisture to speak of. Lettuce, tomato and odd tasting chewy bacon round out my burger on a nondescript sesame seed bun. Something is just missing, it's not offensive, it's not even bad, it just doesn't wow me. Same with the fries and onion strings, which come together on a 50-50 mix, the fries are seasoned well, but a little on the blonde spectrum in terms of color, and the onions are all batter and very little onion flavor. The shakes are also a let-down, as both the black and white and strawberry shakes sampled taste off, like there's something besides milk and ice cream in there, most definitely a flavored syrup which doesn't belong and makes it rather unpleasant. I also think a $30 bill for two people is way too high when my burger cost all of $5.50, even with two shakes. Tasty Burger is the new kid on the street, but if they want to survive a very competitive burger market, they need to up the anti a little bit, tenderloin and over-the-top service wont get you there alone, but at least it's better than Remy's.

Went with a friend and had the chicken waffle special, double bacon cheeseburger and 50/50 side. Great service from Lem the bartender. Fried chicken waffle sandwich was tasty. Burger itself was a letdown. Thin, seemingly frozen patties with meager flavor. Same with the bun. Maybe all those $10-$20 burgers are skewing my taste buds. Fries ad o-rings were fine, but nothing to write home about.

came here after a red sox game. it's open very late. party of 10. food was out fast and it was good. had the works hot dog that had a hamburger patty. it was a heart attack waiting to happen, but good. inexpensive food. not the greatest (spoiled by in n out), but you know, they have a friendly staff.

Tasty Burger has pretty decent hamburgers; especially for a late night drunken rendezvous with friends. The atmosphere at the bar (late at night) makes you almost feel like your one of the cool kids. They serve food until 2am, which is pretty wonderful considering NOWHERE in Fenway seems to be open past 11. You can sit at the bar, which has a respectable selection of beer and wine, at a table or order from the take out counter outside. All of the burgers with the multiple fixings give you a choice of a single or double for pretty cheap. I got a single Onion burger (with sauteed onions, onion rings and cheese). Since you only have a choice of Medium or Well Done, I asked for Medium. Now, I like my burger juicy and pink just like any other real burger lover, but this burger may have touched the grill for about a minute and then was served to me. Not Medium. I was very hungry, so I scarfed it down in no time. It was tasty - I'll give them that. My friend and I shared a "50/50" basket. The fries were great, the onion rings were too thin. Some people like them thin, that's fine, but these were so thin that they crumbled at my touch and I could have used a fork to eat the majority of them (I didn't, I'm just saying I could have). All in all Tasty Burger is no U Burger (Comm. Ave in Kenmore Square), but since U Burger closes at 11 (I think), Tasty Burger will be my late night go to spot for good burgers and more beers.

This place is great. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, bar, cool decor, and a great music playlist. That's not even mentioning the food, which is the best tasting burger and fries you can find at this price, with plenty of menu options. Really, all I want to do is hang out with a cheap, delicious burger with friends and listen to REO speedwagon, and Tasty Burger delivers. Few places have this kind of authenticity.

The name is kind of cheesy, but the food and beer are good! Great atmosphere, a cleaner classier burger joint. I got their veggie burger with cheese, which was great. Good selection of beers. and FREE POOL! Their pool table is never occupied either.

I love the Tasty Burger!! Super yummy burgers (and cheap!), fries, etc. Their chocolate shakes are to die for! The music is great-- very 80s, relaxed ambience and great staff.

Greasy burgers and awesome onion strings. Would definitely hit up Tasty Burger if I was going to a Sox game but it is also good any other day of the week. Just don't eat here too often not good for your arteries.

Tasty burger looked so cute from the outside that I really wanted to like it. I especially wanted to like it when I stepped inside and saw they had a pool table and a pretty cool little bar. I tried to like it even when I read the menu and saw they call hot dogs "shafts". Really, shafts? barf. Needless to say, I ordered a mushroom cheeseburger and some chili cheese fries. My friend ordered a bacon burger. My extremely dry, no flavor burger arrived without mushrooms. Waiter informed me he forgot to put them in til after the burger order so they would be coming out as a side in a couple minutes. The chili cheese fries were also horrible. Chili tasted as if it came out of a can and the cheese that came on top was more of a watery Parmesan than anything else. I would think that if you only have a few items on your menu you would make sure they were done right, because there really aren't a lot of options to choose from. Burgers should be juicy and flavorful ect. Instead we learned that the reason you aren't asked how you want your burger cooked, is because they cook them at one temperature only. All I could think was, "is microwave a temperature?" because that's what it tasted like. The really nice manager came over and asked us what we thought of the food and neither of us wanted to tell her the truth. My friend ended up telling her our thoughts, and she gave us coupons for free burgers. uhh what? free burgers? I really have no intention of ever ordering another burger there, when even McDonalds and Johnny Rockets have a tastier and cheaper product. We gave our coupons to a homeless guy a couple blocks away.

BEST BURGERS IN BOSTON by far! they have a sweet bar and a free pool table. this one time gas station near Fenway park is the place to grub on some extra tasty burgers. highly recommended and stoner approved

One word: YUMMMMM! In an area where the only quick burger you can get is Burger King or McDonald's (and even these two places close early), Tasty Burger offers up patties grilled to perfection in a quick and relatively inexpensive manner (and until 2 am)! The only way you could get a cheaper burger in town ($4.00 for a single or $6.00 for a large double cheeseburger with the works) is by ordering off the dollar menu at one of your "favorite" neighborhood fast food establishments....and I guarantee you that those burgers won't drip the same fresh-grilled juicy wonderfulness that I'm currently licking from in between my fingers! Lettuce is fresh, onions are crunchy, tomatoes are juicy, the pickle chips are AWESOMEly crispy and the beef is, well, BEEFY! I challenge someone else to find a quick but delicious meal for under $10 somewhere else in this city! SUCCESS!!!!!!!!

"$7.50 for a burger and fries????? man I hope its good..." well, it wasn't bad. I can honestly say that it's tasty-er than the BK or McDonald's across the street, but then again, their burger and fries are 3 bucks. so in short, its good.... but its not $7.50 good. fries are a bit greasy and burger is simply lacking in meaty burger flavor. they need to lower their prices, or make them better.... until then, I'm out!

I'll admit it's expensive, but it's one of the better burgers I've had in Fenway. I think it's much better then bgoods, maybe not for your heart, but for your soul yes. The onion rings are cut a bit too thin for my taste but they are fried well enough and the fries are steak fries. The burgers themselves are tasty, fresh, and juicy. Thick meat patties, much thicker then most places do now a days so the smaller size is forgiven. Their shakes and malts though, man those are killer. It's moderately priced for the fens so that's forgiven. Wait stuff was also friendly, maybe a little too friendly ;D. Honestly it was obvious with the excessive touching from the all female wait stuff to the group of guys I was with they were trying to bump their tips. Nothing wrong with that since their service was really good.

It felt right, after a day of drinking at Hogan's Run, to stop here for a burger on the way home. The missus and I had spotted it a couple weeks prior and figured now would be an apt moment to give it a shot. Being a Sunday night, the place was pretty quiet, and we were told to grab a spot wherever. We sauntered up to the bar and were greeted by the extremely friendly Anika (Spelling and name could be way off, thanks a lot Hogan's Run). After a quick perusal of the menu, I opted for an onion burger (rare) and a Bud light. The lady went for the Jalepeno burger and a chocolate milk shake and we decided to split a 50/50 side. The food came out quickly and was just about all I could ask for after a day of drinking. Both caramelized and shoestring onion rings topped a burger that had just the right amount of grease on a solid sesame seed bun. The milkshake was a hit, as well. Only real complaint would be the fact that the burgers don't actually come with fries. Regardless, we'll definitely be making the trip back. Sober or not.

I closed my eyes and in I plunged, To a burger as juicy as a sponge. A great stop before or after Fenway Park, Stuff your face with meat until it gets dark. Made a stop before heading to House of Blues for a concert. You have the option to either order at the window and eat outside or take out. You can also dine inside at the restaurant/bar. The guy at the window kept calling me "buddy" with a big smile on his face. After I ordered I really felt like I was his buddy. We got two "Tasty Burgers" and an order of onion strings. The burger patty was ridiculously juicy and nicely spiced. It came with lettuce, tomato, onions, and a pickle topped with "special sauce" which was excellent. The onion strings were thin and crispy. They were made with red onion as opposed to white which seemed to give a little more twang. A truly great takeout meal. They do have a parking lot, but during Fenway games or special events you probably won't get a spot.

Came here on a friend's recommendation and it was worth it! Total came to about $30 for two. Good price for two burgers, two beers, and a 50/50, which by the way is something you should get. Half deliciously skinny and salty fries and half onion rings! Perfect for sharing and you get a little bit if everything. I got the mushroom burger and added sautÃ©ed onions. Super juicy burger and cooked perfectly. We went before a concert at Fenway and our service kept calm and cool under the rush the place was getting. Another plus is their beer selection. It's not too often you find fast food places around Boston with a beer selection. I'll be going back!

Pretty good burgers. 50/50 is the way to go. Friend sweet red onions are so good. Fries were okay, I'm from California so people say this is the closest thing to In N Out. I would definitely say the fries were not that great. In N Out takes the win for that. But the onion rings were good. I love fries, so I would go with the 50/50. & I love that option on the menu! Hubba Burger was delicious! It's warm for a cold day like tonight (polar vortex hit again). The only thing is that by the end it gets to be very heavy, But I like the chili mixed with the meat and bread. It's really good. Spicy Jalapeno was quite a kick! I love spicy food but tonight, I just took a first bite and it got me. I switched burgers with my friend (what a friend!). It was good though if you like spicy food. Just make sure all the jalapenos are spread out evenly throughout the burger. Great atmosphere. Good artwork. They serve beer! Very decent pricing for food/drinks/alcohol. It's also in a great location! Eat here, and go to a Red Sox game. I also had to redeem Tasty Burger, because I had the one in Southie, and it was not as great as tonight. I'd be returning to this one and I have yet to try the one in Harvard. Also, I still love In N Out more though, but as I'm on the east coast, I still appreciate Tasty Burger!

The absolutely worst service from the waitress to the bartender. The only time the waitress cares about service is when we go to the bar. I was the 10 minutes waiting for friends to come and after 10 minutes to get a drink at the bar the bartender refuse service because I was at a table. Sitting at table with tables on either side that were never cleaned till well after I got my food. This place is over rated by far. Never encounter rude service to have a waitress only drop the menu in front of us as if we were imposing on her time. At least the one in harvard Sq is better. Go somewhere else for burgers no need to go here.

Went here to pick up a bite to eat on a weeknight. I was surprised to see such a crowd even on a non-Red Sox game day. I ordered by phone and picked it up without waiting in line at all so I would definitely recommend that. I ordered a double spicy jalapeÃ±o burger and a side of onion rings. The burger itself was good, but not amazing. It was a little bit overdone for my taste, but the toppings went well with it. The onion rings, on the other hand, were pretty phenomenal. Probably some of the tastiest onion rings I've ever had. The prices of all that was around $14, so it's not the cheapest place, but it was a good amount of food. If you do go, do yourself a favor and get a side of onion rings, you won't regret it.

Karen R.

I LOVE burgers and this place does not disappoint! They offer a selection of special burgers, but I went with the classic big and tasty burger and onion rings. So good. The onion rings were very thinly sliced and I could not finish the serving. My burger was juicy and just so good. They have a take out window with picnic tables outside, we opted for the seated side and had a pitcher of beer and our dinners. I will definitely be back here for my next Sox game!

You know a burger joint is special when you don't even particularly love burgers, but drool at the thought of one from there. This is Tasty Burger. I don't know what makes them so good, but they are. Normally a ketchup-on-burger eater, Tasty Burger does not need any condiments. Most recently, I had a simple cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and pickles. SO GOOD! I almost went back the next night for round 2. They also have a great beer selection, and are so inexpensive. If you're heading to a game, avoid the absurd Fenway prices and indulge here instead. Your wallet and belly will thank you. I also love the casual vibe and setup. Great service, too. If the scent of burgers and fries wafting through the Fenway area hasn't already lured you in, check out Tasty Burger ASAP. You won't be disappointed.

One of my go-to's and I love that it's open so late. I can always smell it when I pass by on my way home and it draws me in... They've got a nice variety of burgers here, but I still think my favorite is their standard, the Big N Tasty. You can add bacon too for $1. Their fries are really good; they've got that extra crisp to them without being crunchy. I think their fries come second to In-N-Out's fries, in terms of fast-food places. Prices are really good, as your meal (without tip) usually ends up being just under $10. The restaurant itself has a fun atmosphere to it. The service is usually on the slower side. They also have a pool table. I noticed they have a jukebox too, but it's like a tech-y jukebox with a touch screen and credit card slider, so nobody really uses it because I don't think anybody knows what it is. Overall: great burgers and fries for a very reasonable price!

One of the best places to eat in the shadow of Fenway Park. If you want cheap food, cheap beer and a good place to meet come here. The burgers are great, if you are looking for a great burger get the Gorgonzola burger and a side of onion rings. Put the onion rings on the burger, and wham one hell of a burger. They can get busy on weekend nights and when the Red Sox are playing but its not that bad of a wait. I was there over this past weekend and had about a 10 minute wait and the Sox game was just getting over. During the warmer months the picnic tables and doors are open which can be a lot of fun with a group. A tip for someone that has been going here a while. If you are going to the Sox game with some friends call ahead an order a sack of burgers/cheeseburgers for around $25 you get 5 burgers and you can eat and walk as you head into Fenway.... Also if you are there when someone is doing the eating challenge, make sure you watch you will never look at a hot dog or burger the same way....

Stopped here on the way to Fenway Park for a quick bite last Wednesday before a Red Sox game.Ordered from the window and was given a number. Fifteeen minutes later our number was called. The cheeseburger was overcooked and the onions rings were soggy and undercooked. Eating outside at a picnic table was fun since it was a nice evening.Cost was 9.50per person not including a beverage. Tip:Inside Fenway Park Tasty Burger had a vendor walking around selling burgers.

Disappointing, sad dry burger. I went to the new one in Back Bay and got the After School Special burger- the one with macaroni & cheese. Sounds like it would be delightful, but the macaroni & cheese tasted like it was made a few days before and refrigerated until needed for an order, then nuked in the microwave for 10 seconds before being ice cream scooped onto the burger. Nast to a T. The fries were decent but nothing to recommend, and the line and service were both prohibitively long.

The veggie burgers are back to being crispy, but not the fried wonderfulness of 2012. Tasty is the go-to for a bad day or after going out (open til 3 am!) Big tasty and jalapeno are my favorites. Heard rumors of them closing for parking or something dumb PLEASE DON'T :(

Mallory S.

We end up here often if we are in Fenway. Quick service, affordable and tasty. My favorite is the original tasty burger... Or the jalapeÃ±o burger! I recommend asking for half onion strings, half fries- the best of both worlds. Outside seating is nice but no alcohol may be consumed there.

Do you ever get those hankerings for a really delicious, cheap burger? Me too. And let me tell you, BK just doesn't cut it. Tasty Burger fills a need that no fast food chain, diner or gourmet restaurant can. It's tasty, locally-sourced, quality food. You read right. The ingredients at Tasty Burger are free-range, local, hormone-free, and all that other new wave-y good stuff! You can't go wrong with The Big Tasty. I'm not a pickles and onions kind of gal, but I'm a strong believer that menus are there for a reason: it's a concrete list of what the establishment does best. So if they put pickles and onions on the cheeseburger, maybe that means pickles and onions belong on that cheeseburger. They definitely let you add or subtract things to your liking - they call these "mods" (modifications)- but I say just roll with it. I've also tried the BBQ Onion Burger and the Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger, and both were delicious. If you go with two people, the 50-50 onion rings and fries are the way to go. I also love their shakes! They have beer too, usually a nice rotating selection. There's an outdoor take-out window with heaters in the winter and there are picnic tables outside. I bet this location is slammed in the summertime, as it's usually busy inside during the winter. We've either nabbed two spots at the bar or had food to-go. There's usually a wait for tables at night, so plan accordingly. There are about 10 usable parking spots (don't be fooled by the other 30 in the back...those are run by a private company and they chase after you if you park in a spot and make you pay!) There are some meters on the street that are sometimes open, but I recommend walking or riding your bike (or Hubway) because you're probably going to need to even out this meal with some exercise anyway. The one criticism I have is the "combo" vs. a la carte. You're going to get a beer when you come to Tasty Burger, so why would I get a combo that includes a 16 oz drink and fries for $3? The burgers do not come with fries, which is pretty disappointing. I wish they charged a dollar more to add the fries (and the portion could be reduced because they give a lot of fries) and forget the soda business. Oh, and it's now the "official burger of the Boston Red Sox." Can't argue with that.

What the hell happened to our favorite neighborhood chill spot? For years, my girlfriend and I lived in the Fenway area, just a few blocks from Tasty Burger. Several times a week we would go to Tasty Burger for great burgers, great service, and an amazing craft beer selection. Usually we'd sit and enjoy a couple beers and a burger, and we knew most of the staff by name (and they knew us). At the end of last summer, we moved to Pennsylvania, and our final meal in Boston was at Tasty Burger on the eve of our move. This past weekend we returned to Boston for a visit, and we wanted to visit several of our old spots. Tasty Burger was at the top of the list. Our flight landed at Logan on Thursday (9/11/14), and shortly after settling in we headed to Tasty Burger for our first meal in Boston in over a year. Tasty Burger has an amazing selection of craft beer, mostly in cans, including several from our favorite brewery, Six Point, including our favorite craft beer, Resin. We can't find Six Point where we now live, so we were really looking forward to Tasty Burger for more than just a bite to eat. The first thing we noticed is that the staff is completely new, which wasn't a complete surprise -- it's been over a year, after all, and even last summer there were new faces as several of our "regular" waitstaff were promoted to positions at other Tasty Burger locations. But what we weren't expecting was that the service would now be downright horrible. When we arrived at Tasty Burger, there were more than enough tables to choose from. The three of us -- me, my girlfriend, and a friend who we were staying with for the weekend -- sat down at a table close to the bar, and we were given menus. When the menus were placed in front of us, we asked for three waters, as we were all very thirsty. Some time later, our server returned -- without water -- to take our order. We ordered three Resin beers, and asked for frosted glasses with them (as per usual). We each ordered a burger, and we ordered a large fry to snack on, and asked for the fries first if they were ready before the burgers. Some time later -- still waiting for waters -- the bartender comes to our table with a bottle of wine and some glasses. "You ordered a bottle of Riesling?" she asks us. "No," I said, confused. "We did order some beer, Resin." "Oh, that makes much more sense," she says, and heads back to the bar. Meanwhile, our waitress is on the other side of the restaurant, looking at the bartender with a confused look on her face. "Resin," the bartender shouts to the waitress. "They wanted beer." Now, this in its own right wouldn't really be much of a bad service issue, as mistakes can happen. I mean, it's not like RESIN isn't written in 4-inch high letters on a giant chalkboard behind the bar with the rest of the beer selection or anything, or it's a beer they've had for a while. Oh wait, yes, it is, and it was one of our former "regular" waiters that first introduced us to Resin about 2 or 3 years ago. But it was the waitresses' loud reaction (and still no water on the table) that really turned me off. Instead of apologizing, she complained (loudly) that she was going to miss out on the tip she would have received on the full bottle of wine. For the record, a full bottle of Riesling (according to TB's menu) is $19. Our three cans of beer (which would actually have been at least six had it not taken SO LONG to get the first round) were $6 each, so that's $18 for the three (or $36 including a second round, which we were intending but never ordered). To give the bartender some credit, even as she was laughing at our waitress she did manage to quickly return with three cans of beer. We did have to ask for glasses though, but she brought them quickly. Some time later, our burgers arrived -- but still no water, or fries. The fries did come shortly after, but were not as fresh as we're used to from TB, and we would have liked them much earlier. Our waitress eventually returned to check on us, and we asked (again) if we could have three waters. A few minutes later, our waitress returned -- WITH ONE GLASS OF WATER FOR 3 PEOPLE. We had to ask for water (that makes at least 4 requests), and she finally returned with two more waters -- and our check. Now, at this point, we probably weren't going to order a second round of beer, but it would have been nice to have been at least asked if we were ready for the check. Oh, my beloved Tasty Burger, what happened?

Worst place ever. Yeah... walk in to see a huge group of people in the place after two. Oh dont bother to ask to be treated like human beings after two.

I don't really understand the hype... The burgers are pretty greasy sloppily made. There are like no veggies on some of the burgers and for the ones that do have veggies, it's like they are stingy and give you one slice of not fresh lettuce. I've been here a couple of times and each time I wasn't impressed. This place has a nice outside seating area and a good amount of tables inside. I think the location is pretty good and convenient since it's in Fenway and close to all the sports bars. There's a pretty bog parking lot too so it's convenient for those who drive. I duno... I just miss In-N-out or Habit burger in SoCal (similar price points, but MUCH better) and this place doesn't compare.

I DID THE TASTY BURGER CHALLENGE! Because I was too busy stuffing my face within the 60 minute time limit, it was hard for me to actually enjoy the food. But their massive Colossal All-The-Way Burgers were pretty scary. From what I remember, it was three orders of 4 hotdog buns, barely holding onto 2 hamburger patties, wrapped around a 1/2 pound hotdog, topped with bacon, chili and cheese. THREE of those. I almost died. Taste-wise, it was not bad at all. I think there was a bit too much going on there. Perhaps I should have added in ketchup or something to add a bit of saltiness or taste to the entire thing, since it was mostly bread, meat, and cheese. The chili wasn't quite enough to coat it with crazy flavor. But overall, great experience, friendly wait staff. I finished the challenge, got my picture taken, got a free shirt, got offered free drinks but I was about to puke. I ran outside, drove a mile, then puked on the side of the road. Great times. But all for free! Thanks Tasty Burger! :P

I've only been here before Sox games in order to avoid eating my hand before the game or spending my entire life savings on food inside the park. What I can say is that their burgers are very good. I definitely liked the carmelized onions and bbq sauce. Granted I wolfed it down in about five minutes before I had to head to the gates but it certainly hit the spot more than I would've expected. Their burgers are definitely filling to say the least and cooked to my taste. I haven't had a chance to try their fries or anything but if I am going to a game I will definitely stop here versus spending double the price for half the food inside the park.

Well-portioned at 2am after loud banter in the Boston bars. I ordered the tasty burger, the original flavor basically. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What I also enjoyed is the customer service. The dude looked me in the eye and said thank you, and I think that's not he easiest thing to do at 205am when you're supposed to close at 2. They keep it open till around 215 they said so that's pretty neat. They have beer too so try that next time if you wanna bounce from other bars.

Just a basic burger that anyone could make at home. Wasn't particularly fond of the dry overcooked meat. It's a cool little spot, so I'll give it that, but I'll pass next time.

Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. I usually only ever get cheeseburgers, but I feel like the cheese takes away from the simple deliciousness of this perfectly cooked, juicy, tender burger. So just tomato & lettuce it is! Not going to lie though, I do put crispy onion strings on top of it. The fries and onion strings are like crack cocaine. My husband has tried the butta burger which he said was orgasmic. Tasty Burger is my favorite guilty pleasure. You won't be disappointed!

It pains me to write this review, but abusive treatment requires it. I've been to this Tasty Burger location a few times and have always enjoyed their burgers and their shakes. In fact, I really love their burgers! Unfortunately, the most recent time I attended, which was indeed late at night, the wait staff rudely kicked everyone out immediately after paying our checks. I understand it was late at night and I understand that they could "lose their license" (in the words of our waiter). But the way you kick people out is with politeness, not open hostility. My group wasn't lolly-gagging, we were just trying to get our coats to go into sub 10 degree weather. Luckily, there are better options in the area. Give BurgerFi a try or go to Boston Burger Co. With so many other options, there's no need to take discourteous behavior. The reason why this isn't a one star review is solely because they do have good food.

Tasty burger is absolutely great. They have a prime location near Fenway Park and the House of Blues. The prices are extremely reasonable and the ambience is fun and laid back. I loved the open front of the building which made our dinner even more enjoyable since it was such a nice night. They offer a wide array of creative burger and hot dog combinations. Although everything seemed delicious, I wasn't feeling too adventurous so I ordered a regular cheeseburger with Tasty sauce. The restaurant was pretty busy, but not overwhelming, we got a table right away. When my burger came out it didn't have the Tasty sauce on it (I had to try it since it's their staple). I asked for the side of sauce,(25c charge), but I realized when our waiter left we still had no silver wear. At that point I had to use a fry to apply the sauce to my burger, classy. The food itself was great. Very 50's style burger with a Five Guys meets In-n-Out vibe with a very creative twist. Plus unlike these burger joints, Tasty Burger has a full bar with an extensive beer list. I will definitely be back, I just hope the servers will be a bit more attentive.

Dawn O.

Nice tasty burgers. This is better than Five Guys because they serve beer! Plus, it has a happening atmosphere. It gets packed if there is a game at Fenway. These burgers are juicy and made to order. They have several different topped burgers to choose from and they run a special limited burger. Tons of toppings to choose from if you want to put your own creation together. Tasty fries and onion strings. Tasty thick shakes.

First of all, let me say that the actual burger itself was excellent. I hate when Yelp reviews harp on the service and do not talk about the actual food. Their burger was tasty, delicious, and came perfectly cooked. The fries were good and the soda had free refills. If I were rating on food alone: four stars! So how did they get two stars? Tasty Burger is right by Fenway Park. We were a party of two on a busy game day trying to grab a bite before heading to the gate. We were fortunate enough to be seated quickly, but waited a solid ten minutes for service. Now, it was not the fault of the waitstaff. Since I had plenty of time to observe the situation, I could see one expediter who just brought out sodas, and two waitresses who had to sit guests, wait tables, and clear them as well. On a Saturday game day? That is poor management. Extreme understaffing. Strike 1. Upon further observation, I noticed a guy at an adjacent table pull a hair out of his burger that must have been 10 inches long! Of course the poor waitress was mortified, apologetic, and offered a new one. He was not having it. I don't blame him. Strike 2. (I know you're thinking "why stay?" There's more) I go to the bathroom, it's a single person at a time, which is fine. So I had to wait, and when I get in and go to wash my hands...no soap. I don't care if you have a sanitizer stand out in the hallway. No soap? I mean, what about the employees? Technically Strike 3! ...but there was only 20 minutes until the start of the game and we were starving. So we stayed. And it was surprisingly good. I haven't gotten ill, so I would consider going back for takeout. The burger was good after all - I guess I'm a risk taker.

We found on yelp and from the outside, we were a little bit like "hmmm... Not real sure abt this place...." But boy are we glad we went in!!!!! Delicious is an understatement!!! We had the spicy jalapeÃ±o burger, the kahuna burger, a grilled cheese, onion rings and fries- the staff was friendly, the service was FAST and the quality of food was A+! We will def be back!!! Thanks for a great Boston experience!

Still really like this place. Although the burgers have increased to $5.95, they are still a good deal in a time and place where it's hard to find a corner pub selling one for less than $10. Stopped in yesterday with my wife and son. I went way off the caloric intake ranch and had two burgers: the BBQ and onion burger (with both sautÃ©ed and deep fried onions) and the Spicy Jalapeno with queso fresco and roasted fresh jalapenos. In my defense, I ate only 6 oz. of non-fat yogurt and a bagel (no cream cheese) the entire day. My son had the Blue Collar burger with the battered and deep fried patty, and my wife had the mushroom and cheese. Loved the Long Trail Ale. The Sam Cold Snap was had too strong an orange flavor. Won't be having that again. Service was very good. I don't know how they get hot, juicy, neatly wrapped burgers out so quickly, but I am glad they do. The place is a dive, but in a good way; except for maybe the bathroom (at least the men's room). Leave any pretension you may have at the door and just have a good time quaffing down a Tasty Burger and beverage of choice. Let me know what you think of this review by clicking a button below.

The three stars are for the service. I have been served with a great friendly attitude, but this I guess depends on the day. However the food was not I was expecting. I didn't like that the bread is the same as the one from McDonald's the onion rings was good but too salty for companion. The cheese fries was nothing special. If you are looking for a good burger may be you should go to some artisanal place where you can find good burgers because the one from tasty well they are kinda medium-)

This review is based on the vegetarian's perspective. They do have a veggie patty(not a soy patty) and they will substitute onto most burgers. But if you don't like the taste of bell pepper or any of its elongated relatives, you will not enjoy this burger. Its not spicy, but it does have large chunks of the stuff along with corn and what I believe is sweet potato. Overall very accommodating.

What is not to love about tasty burger? They have cheap eats and beers, all enjoyed in a renovated gas station! I love the decor and the evergreen painting of Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction (McRoyale Anyone?). I would definitely recommend going here before a game at Fenway or on a weeknight. I used to live int he area and loved to go there with my fellow college students. Be warned that the place is a bit small, so the wait can be long on weekend nights.

I was so disappointed today after bringing an out of town guest to Fenway. I had brag over and over again about the awesome burgers I had always got at Tasty Burger..freshly made and cooked to perfection. Well..was I in for a surprise..you could tell the burgers had been made earlier..they were pink inside and had the appeal of pink slime..they definetly had that pasty, mush factor..there was nothing handmade about them..the shape was like any cheap prefrozen burger you go out of your way to avoid.. We took then back to our seats to eat and after two bits decided they were not worth the risk factor of eating and getting sick nor were we enjoying them. My traditional Tasty Burger has now ended..they will forever leave that experience with me..definitely no way to start an outing at Fenway. .btw..I am a season pass holder in the Loge seats..

Turkey burger!!! Seriously, get it. Might be the health nut in me, but this might be one of my favorite turkey burgers I've had. So juicy and well seasoned. I usually get the big tasty but substitute with the turkey burger. Yum. Also, get the half and half onion rings and fries... Their onion rings are nice and thin and super crisp. Wouldn't really recommend the shakes.. They're not amazing. Other than that, I love this place! I love their burgers and am so excited when I'm in the area to grab a quick bite. Burgers are reasonably priced too, and they're pretty big!!!

Came here because I purchased a Gilt City Deal. Tasty Burger has both indoor and outdoor seating. We decided on the latter because it was nice out. However, it took a while because the cashier wasn't quite ready when the place opened. This deal was an absolute steal! Came with 2 juicy Tasty burgers, 2 orders of fries, and 2 milkshakes. The burgers was filling and tender. I devoured the crisp fries instantly. Loved how it wasn't ruined with salt. The milkshakes were a little disappointing though. I ordered the strawberry and vanilla.....both tasted the same to me. Other than that, Tasty Burger is a thumbs up for me =)

5 STARS FOR THE BURGERS. 1 STAR FOR CLEANLINESS. The floors are slippery and greasy - even the concrete outside is slippery from all of the food spills. The men's room was doubly gross - there was liquid sewage on the floor. I'm sure that it gets tracked into the dining room, bar and the kitchen. UBER GROSS! The burgers were great, as were the shoestring onion rings. Our ketchup bottle was empty, as were the ones on the neighboring tables. $10 Starving Student Special (with ID), gets you a burger, fries and a beer.

I love the way the burgers are wrapped! The paper is cylindrically wrapped that allows for a nice peel back, exposing only the portion of burger that you want to nom. OK, perhaps I should get to the meat of this review (waa waaaaa). Aside from the awesome paper, the burger definitely lives up to its moniker (i.e. tasty). There are tons of choices for toppings, so you can get exactly what you want. Jalapenos for me, of course. The price is quite reasonable at less than $6. The patty is a bit thin but substantial enough to carry the burger. And the fries are on point!! Crispy and not too thick, just how I like 'em. They also have a surprisingly decent beer selection, which I wasn't expecting at a fast-food-ish type place.

The first two times I went here, I was pretty happy. The burgers are tasty (not the best though) and I enjoy the old fashioned process of walking up to a burger stand to order. The Fenway vibe is also pretty hip. The reason I'm giving them 2-3 stars though is because I have a wheat allergy, meaning I can't eat gluten (a protein found in wheat), and someone gave me the wrong bun. I know some people in the service industry don't always take gluten free requests seriously because eating gluten free has become somewhat of a fad lately. But the real reason gluten free options exist is because there are people who do get seriously sick from ingesting this protein. The first two times I went here, I ordered a gluten free bun and felt totally fine. There was no mix up or cross-contamination. The crappy thing about a food allergy is that you really have to trust the people who prepare your food and trust that they'll get your request right. Recently however, I ordered a burger to go with a gluten free bun. When I got home, I took a bite of the burger and noticed something a bit different. The bun was a completely different bun than the one I got a day ago. The texture was very different. I had already swallowed a bite before I decided to be safe and remove the rest of the bun from my burger and consume just the paddy. Needless to say, afterwards I got an allergy attack that lasted all night long. I will continue to eat here, but I'm going to have to be extra vigilant about ordering and making sure my order is gluten free. All gluten free order requests should be taken equally seriously, whether or not it's an allergy or simply gluten intolerance.

After a Red Sox game, the best way to refuel is a Tasty Burger. They offer a good amount of options and they're all so yummy! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

I'm a huge fan of Five Guys and Steak and Shake and this place is right up there with them! First I have to say we were pleasantly surprised to find two of Boston's finest cops in there and they looked like they walked right out of a calendar. Seriously. I was hoping to get arrested! I digress. The burgers were super moist and tasty and we shared a small fry which was more than enough to share. They tasted fresh cut and were seasoned perfectly. Boom. Then again I guess I could have been under the influence of super hot cops.

Stumbled up this place after a night out watching football. It's busy there, so be prepared to be patient and wait. Received service with a smile. Ordered a cheeseburger, choco shake, and tater tots. Everything was tasty!

I had been craving a chili dog for days and I was beginning to annoy my boyfriend with my constant whining about it, so we decided to check this place out. I don't remember what we got, but my craving was sufficiently satisfied. I wound up being unable to finish what I'd gotten, it was far too fattening. I literally would've gone up a dress size. But trust me, I was tempted, cus it was yummy. I could see this place being GREAT after some drinking, plus the prices are really good, and I think they have a student discount?

Burgers just about $5. This is definitely bang for your buck. Competition for shake shack and in-n-out for me (could also be the beers I had prior to feasting on their food influencing me a bit). The burgers are cooked medium and very good. The onion rings are thin and crispy. The fries were ok...stick with the onion rings instead. The place looks like a fast food place from the outside. There's a dine-in area here with a bar, which I didn't even notice till after we finished ordering from the take-out window. It seems like everything is cooked to order. We waited about 10-15 minutes to get our food after placing our orders. This is a great spot for late night snacks or after drinks food.

Tasty Burger is a great drunk place to hang out and get some delicious burgers. They have a pool table and it's set up in a sort of diner/bar fashion. I love that even though it's a burger place, they have healthy options (gluten free bun, turkey burger, veggie burger, etc). That's a big plus for me, and for any guys taking girls on late night adventures there! Only negative of the food were the onion rings. They are served as more of a sauteed onion rather than a deep fried one, just a personal preference I have as an onion ring fanatic. Other that than, their food was delicious!

I've only had one burger from here so maybe I got a fluke, but what's the big deal? These tastes like the burgers they served in my high school cafeteria and, while edible, are absolutely nothing to write home about. I'd take Five Guys or Shake Shack over Tasty Burger any day, but I'll probably give 'em another shot just in case.

Unfortunately, I have to knock a couple stars off what was my favorite burger joint on the East Coast. Ever since they opened up their Back Bay location, Tasty Burger decided to change up how they make their signature Big Tasty burger. It used to be made with diced up pickles and white onions smeared on the bottom bun. I always felt that this was the genius of the Big Tasty because those 2 toppings were spread evenly for a taste in every bite you took. It really set Tasty Burger apart from the competition. So now for some reason, they've gone and replaced this method with regular run-of-the-mill pickle slices and thin slices of red onions. This change completely alters the taste profile of the burger for the worst. Some good news is that Tasty Burger now serves Tater Tots which is awesome (though $5 for pretty small side of it is a little on the expensive side) and they've put my favorite chicken sandwich of theirs, the Chicky Chicky Parm Parm on the regular menu now so it can be ordered anytime!

This place is (un)fortunately about a 5 minute walk from my apartment and open late. It is perfect for sopping up alcohol after waiting in the long line for takeout or when nothing else is open but I just got off a late flight from a business trip (still with long line). The prices are so reasonable: the big tasty with 50/50 and Cheerwine or root beer is my guilty pleasure. The people working the takeout must be overwhelmed constantly as they occasionally get cranky. But, my tips do not go unappreciated and I always receive a "thank you". It takes a bit for the order to get ready but you are rewarded with a simple, no fuss, pretty tasty burger. The fries are nothing special but the onion rings are delicious. The last time I was there, the system went down and we had to wit over 20 minutes yet no one informed us - I only knew because I was second in line and the people ahead of me told me when I asked what was causing the delay. Thankfully, I had cash but not sure how the queue behind me fared. So I would suggest having at $15 in cash just in case. Now that Red Sox season is upon us, prepare to wait to enjoy an inexpensive, better than fast food meal.

Probably the most amazing burger I've ever tasted! Its the "in n out burger" of Massachusetts. My sisters and I were looking for some late night grub and we had a tasty burger open until 2 am that was within walking distance of my sisters apartment. We got there at around 1:30 and ordered three big tasty's and a side of fries. We got the fries first, which were nice and crispy. The burgers followed soon after. It was wonderfully wrapped as I'm not the type of person to just grab the entire burger out of the wrapper and eating it (the contents fall out and makes it super messy). The meat patty was on point, tender, juicy and seasoned to perfection. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and crunchy. The tasty sauce is to die for! I didn't add any extra sauce to my burger. Overal I'd definitely visit tasty burger again whenever I'm in town visiting!

Judy K.

Tasty Burger has pretty good decent burgers. I can come here for a reliably yummy and satisfying burger that's not too too heavy. Basically, it's dripping with enough oil to hit that greasy food craving, but not leave you feeling disgusted with yourself. I had their onion rings and fries for the first time which was a delicious surprise. The fries were super thin and crispy! None of them were soggy and soaked with oil. The onion rings were incredibly thin because they used red onions instead of the traditional vidalia onion. I was surprised that the batter actually stuck to the thin rings, which made them taste even better! Compared to uburger and burgerfi, I think Tasty Burger takes the prize. The only thing is it's so far and inconviently located for most people

When some colleagues at my conference found out that my hotel was near Tasty Burger, they insisted I go! A friend and I headed over there tonight and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, and informal. It's the perfect place to kick back at after a long day. We both decided to get bacon cheeseburgers, but my friend asked for sautÃ©ed onions on hers. The servers were friendly and very quick! I was impressed with both the service and the food. Our burgers hit the spot. I would definitely go back!

Honestly, I find this place to be infinitely better than Shake Shack. Overall my favorite place to grab a burger on the east coast, and the fact that it actually stays open past 12 in Boston makes Tasty one of my to go places after leaving one of the local bars. To me, classics are the best, so I'll always recommend the Big Tasty burger to all newcomers. Same basic ingredients as any generic burger, but the spread and juiciness of the burger definitely makes a difference. They also sell a unique burger around every other day, and some of them are truly questionable (I'm looking at you Mac n' Cheese Burger). However, their In-N-Out Homage Burger and Burger Bomb are to die for, so if you see them selling it, definitely get it or wait for it to come back next month! Finally, their fries are absolutely amazing! Perfect crispiness, and in my opinion on par with that of In-N-Out. I would recommend, however, that you eat them as soon as you get them cuz they tend to get a bit softer when sitting in the take-out boxes, which sort of ruins the whole crispiness aspect. And for the best bang for your buck, order the basket of fries if sitting in, cuz quantity wise it's a lot more than individual fries for 2.

I am so happy I finally tried Tasty Burger! On the outside, it looks like a fast food joint, but the inside is a sit-down restaurant. Tasty burger also has a section for take out only which is very convenient to grab it to go. I came here on the night of the storm, but I am sure this place gets crowded quickly normally. I ordered the hamburger and fries. The burger tasted fresh, although it could be juicier. The fries tasted average at first, but I appreciated the taste the more I had. The service was prompt and got the job done - nothing special there. I will definitely be coming back!

3 pm on a very quiet afternoon, maybe 3 orders ahead of mine. Just got a cheeseburger. Waited 20 minutes. The problem with the burger is that there is very little taste to it. May be a lack of seasoning but the thing is plain. You decide, if you want to wait 20 minutes for a burger then go for it.

The burger was good. The menu is kind of confusing but you can have your burger cooked up any way you want it for the most part. The sausage gravy fries are a must try. Came here after a game at Fenway Park and received pretty good service still.

Kieran M.

Yup. Definitely a very tasty burger. I am just thankful I live nowhere near this place, so I do not consume their delicious food on a regular basis. The burger was great, so was their massive hot dogs, but the highlight was the onion rings. We went through multiple baskets of these. The only reason we didn't order more, is because they literally ran out. Next time we are back in Boston, I will make it a point to stop by here.

Big task and they pull it off. This pass Saturday had to make a special order at 10.15pm for my clients of 45 burgers fries and onion rings. Total order of $356.08 not to mention that the concert at Fenway was getting out at 10.30pm. Big challenge but they did it. Manager was a bit confused o you are going to shut down my kitchen the Concert is getting out. Hey the burgers was tasty and we got all wee need to Go. Great Job will challenge you again .

To say Tasty Burger was life changing would be an understatement. Im a huge burger fan. Five guys, shake shack, BurgerFi, you name it and I've probably been there. Tasty burger was last on my list and this weekend I got to cross it off. I went to TB the day after halloween so I was feeling a little "under the weather" to say the least. I ordered the original tasty burger, a vanilla milkshake, and a basket of fries. First of all, the food came out very quickly which was a plus. The fries were not as good as I was expecting but were still very satisfying. The milk shake was on point as well. It was the perfect size and a good ratio of ice cream and milk. Finally, the burger. Not only was it the perfect size, the bread was soft, the patty was well seasoned, and the mayo/ketchup/ tasty burger sauce wasn't overpowering. Not only did I leave feeling very full, my "under-the-weatherness" was completely cured. Besides being completely delicious, the prices are amazing. For everything I ordered my bill was less than $10. My advice - if you are ever in the Fenway area, make sure to stop at TB. You will not be disappointed and I guarantee you will leave trying to plan the next time you can come back.

I would give this restaurant a five for food and a two for service. I ordered a tasty burger without onions and a combo including onion strings and a drink. I asked the waitress about the cherry wine which was a local bottled soft drink. She said order it if you like that kind of stuff. She said there would be a small up charge for that. The food was really good and the Cherrywine was nice as well. My only beef was that she charged for the bottled soft drink and also charged me for the entire combination meal and did not remove the charge for the soft drink. She should have been more clear about the order or have at least offered to bring me an extra soft drink or bottled water.

I was looking for a place to eat quickly, so I could go into Fenway Park once they open. I saw "Tasty Burger" right across the street and they were busy. I always like to try the non-chain restaurants, so I figured that I would give them a try. I really enjoyed eating here. It's has an indoor & outdoor dining experience. There's a variety of burgers that you could order, and they tasted good! The negative part is that they only have one bathroom per gender; so whenever someone enters their restroom, they have to lock the door and there'll be a line waiting. Depending on how crowded the place is, determines how long the bathroom line will be. Based on the quality, price, speed & convenience of eating here near Fenway Park, I will definitely come back again the next time I watch a Red Sox game in Boston!

Chris M.

I love me some Tasty Burger. The worst part of the Fenway area is accidentally ending up there on a game day. Thankfully I was there during an afternoon when there was no game and just after lunch. I bellied up to the bar ordered a burger and cider. It was great, the hardest part was waiting for it to cool down. I'm a fan of tasty burger's burgers. But, I don't get anything wild or fancy, just meat, bun, and a lot of ketchup. I'm classy like that. Bonus points for feeling like I was having a burger in a garage, in face I'm pretty sure this used to be an auto shop in a past life. They make the most of their space and it's the true burger king of the street (not the burger king a block away). If it isn't busy, and you are in the area and are just going to order a burger no matter where you go, then go here you'll enjoy it!

I was recently visiting a college friend in Boston, and she and her friends took me to Tasty Burger after a night out for some post-drinking food. It was really busy and seemed to be a popular spot for crowds leaving the bars. I liked this place because it was kind of in between fast food and a regular sit-down restaurant. I also didn't feel like the food I was eating was quite as bad for you as the standard fast food places. This may have been an alcohol-fueled illusion though, so who knows. I had a regular burger and, as the name suggests, it was tasty. It was served very hot and tasted fresh. The fries were also fantastic--very thin and crispy. These were also fresh out of the frier and some of the best I have had recently. On top of this, I also ordered a chocolate milkshake. It was good but I wasn't as impressed as I was with the food. I definitely enjoyed my experience here and wish that Pittsburgh would get some Tasty Burgers!

Burgers are solid. Tater tots are ON POINT. And milk shakes are old school good. But don't expect to be served in a timely fashion if there is a ball game. And also, be prepared for your bum to stick to the picnic table. Sticky. Central.

One the best burgers in Boston is just $5. I've had the famous craigie burger, the back bay social burger, Russell house burger....To me, tasty burger will always hold a special place in the Boston Burger Hall of Fame. Not only is it fantastic, but the vibe here is great. My friends and I love the tucked away space in the back by the pool table. It's everything you want a burger joint to be: laid back, fun, cheap, and absolutely delicious. My favorite is the onion burger. It's got fried onions as well as grilled with American cheese. It's absolutely divine. Grab an order of large fries to share.

Niki M.

There was nothing tasty about this place! From hygiene/sanitation to the quality/value of the food... it was just bad! I went to the order window on a evening that did not seem busy. I ordered a veggie burger, fries and a strawberry shake. The first thing I noticed was that my shake was made right away and put to the side where they left all the other drinks before the full order was ready. There were about 5 people waiting when I went to go sit down. It took over 30 minutes before they called my number. Hygiene: I took one sip of my shake and felt like I took a shot of pure syrup. My shake was completely melted and tasted like it had more sugar than any shake I've ever had. Right away I asked for a new shake and the employees looked at me like making a fresh shake was unheard of. I stood there and waited and noticed that the person making my shake tripped over the trashcan by the register. She used the only hand that had a glove on to pick it up and fix the bag inside the trashcan (she did not change her glove nor wash her hands afterwards). Then another employee who was handling the orders walked over to help her (she didn't have on any gloves) and picked up the trash and immediately went back to handling the orders (without washing her hands or putting on gloves). Quality of Food: The fries taste like they were dried out McDonald's fries. My veggie burger literally fell apart after one bite, the bun was dry and the toppings were the worse. For some reason they grind the pickles and onions together. I had ordered an extra side of pickles and onions thinking that I would get onions that tasted like onions and pickle slices that smelled of pickle juice in 2 separate small containers. Instead what I got was a 1 (2 oz) container of flimsy like onions and "pickles" that had been grind together and drained. Needless to say my food found its way to the nearest trashcan!

One of my favorite places to get a beer and a burger. Probably crave this place at least once a week... The atmosphere is fun and eclectic. The wait staff inside is usually pretty good. Overall, fast, cheap, and delicious!

Such a fun place! It has a drive-in movie feel. I was only in town for a few days and I'm glad I found this gem. The menu was great, everything was pretty cheap and came with a good portion size. And it's hard to find a good place to chill to just have a beer and a burger. It was rather crowded for a Thursday night, but even then, the service was good. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Boston.

Avoid coming here before and after a Red Sox game. Delicious burger joint. All of their burgers are good. If you order a burger and fries, you will definitely be full. It is also decently priced. The service can sometimes be slow, but they are at least friendly. Atmosphere is super chill. A great place to grab a quick bite to eat with friends. During the summer, it is nice to sit out in their outdoor seating while eating a delicious burger. I have come to Tasty Burger countless times afterwards.

Yeajin L.

Not a big fan. They do have big flavors for their burgers, but for me, that throws me off. If you like various toppings on your burger like pineapple, different types of cheese, etc etc, you will like it. I am more of a typical "cheddar cheese, patty, sautÃ©ed onion, ketchup, mustard" burger person. Their fries are too salty for my taste also.

Melissa D.

Really impressed by this place. Great food, decently priced, eco-friendly even! My little boys made a memory here that will probably stick with them forever: they got to play pool on a real pool table! They were in Heaven. When we got there, 2 other littler boys (mine are 5 & 9) were "playing pool" and I was shocked none of the staff were scolding them away. Turns out it's really a family place. I couldn't believe the pool table and pool sticks weren't all beaten up, but maybe other parents are also conscientious enough to teach their children the rules. (I was proud they were so excited to play but they knew they had to be extra careful and really were.) It looks like a bar inside a converted fire station? Very cool atmosphere. The bathrooms had graffiti but you were encouraged to participate by adding your own artwork so long as it was family friendly (a sign even said so). As a mom I was impressed because it looked to me like the staff is good about covering up anything that isn't family friendly because although I saw lots of cover up, I saw no profanity. I'm sure some get missed once in a while, but I thought it was really fun. The waiter was fantastic and QUICK! We were so exhausted from traveling and this place really hit the spot for us! Can't wait to visit again.

We just waited 45 minutes for our order. I have absolutely no tolerance for inefficiency and lack of urgency. A takeout burger should take nowhere near 45 minutes , and if so it should be clearly stated there is an extremely long wait. I have worked in the food industry and clearly understand how to work fast when there is a line of customers waiting for orders. If you are going to be serving late night on a holiday weekend , you need to be prepared for the crowds. Thank you

Sorry, but the name of this place is false advertisement. I went to this place, because of the reviews on this website. Worst burger I've ever tasted. Tried the mushroom burger and it did not taste good at all. Waste your money on something that comes prepackaged, before eating here. Good luck.

Looking for a Burger that doesn't put a dent in your wallet and gives you an experience that you will talk about , Go to Tasty Burger. It's self seating with plenty of helpful waitstaff. There's bar seating with limited amount of seating with a few flatscreens. Off the side you can have a game of pool. There's also plenty outdoor seating and it appears they do a huge amount of takeout orders. My wife and I had a Burger that was probably one of the best and the price you can't beat. It was juicy, meaty and very flavorful. I got the butter burger with melted butter that just melted with flavor. My wife just got the regular tasty burger that is nothing like a regular burger, it lives up to its name" Tasty". There are several way you can get your burger, maybe a fried egg or or there own very carmelized onions. We got the combo plate they call,50/50 that have half fry and half onion rings or strings. Too much you won't finish. For 4.00 you can't go wrong. So 2 sodas (no refills guys) 2 burgers and large 50/50 frys and rings cost us 20+. Im a waitress guys Make sure you tip the waitstaff. They have to eat too. No wonder they are the official Burger of the Boston Red Sox , they are just wicked awesome. We live in Backbay and we now have a new favorite burger place that we can go often with our limited income and get 5 star food, service, and location. I am a Burger enthusiast and this place is in my top 3 of best ever.. You outer towners that want to experience Boston, you need to go to Tasty Burger

Came here with a friend on Sunday for lunch. I expected Tasty Burger to be something like Shake Shack (which I wasn't a huge fan of) -- my friend said it was more similar to In-N-Out, but I disagree. Where as In-N-Out is considered fast food, Tasty Burger is more of a sit down place (so a higher tier, I guess), but still not like a fancy gourmet burger restaurant. It kind of reminds me of Smashburger, actually... sorry for all these comparisons to other burger places if you haven't been to them hahaha Their burgers were surprisingly really good. Since I haven't really been impressed with many of the burgers I've tried in Boston, the juiciness of the patty (without being overly greasy like Five Guys) was a pleasant surprise. I got the big tasty, as recommended by my friend, and we shared a 50/50 fries & onion rings and it was a little food coma inducing but still manageable. Waitstaff was quick and courteous, and our food came out pretty fast. Although I"m pretty sure the 50/50 fries & onion rings weren't hot off the presses fresh, since it came in like 2 minutes and it was a little cold, it wasn't like grossly cold. (-1 star, although I can understand that they probably pre-arrange popular sides since they do get a lot of business). Burgers came shortly after, wrapped nicely in their little sleeve thing!! Prices were reasonable -- I would definitely come back! I need burgers in my life LOL

I Love this place - gluten free roll,french fires, shake - best place to go Sunday morning when you are hung over and feeling deprived of food (if you didn't eat a bag of chips in bed at 3am). Wear elastic pants.

Blows that new Shake Shack out of the water! Plus, they have a ton of different types of burger combinations/toppings that make this place amazing. All their burgers have great meat and really nice buns. As for toppings, my favorite burgers here are: - Jalapeno Chedder: This is my go to burger, and has the right level of kick and cheesy-ness. - Gorgonzola: Solid blue cheese. I usually add mushrooms to this one :) Don't recommend: - Blue Collar: The fried burger patty is just too dry for my taste. Also: - 50/50 Fries & Onion rings: For $4, you get a giant box of fries and onion rings that enough for four people to share. Their fries and onion rings are both pretty good, though I must warn you - these are not the typical thick onion rings you think of - they're extremely thin, barely battered deep fried rings of onion. Overall, this place has amazing burgers, and is open late! Yay!

The burgers here are definitely Tasty, I would recommend the mushroom burger because it reminds me of a steak and mushroom in A1 sauce, burger style. I don't really like the fries here that much because it's soft like McDonald's fries and not crispy enough for me as they come out. Staff are pretty cool and I never received any negativity from them despite the high level of stress they probably have to deal with from customers. They have two services dine in and take out. If you want to dine in you walk to the left side of the front building and if you want takeout you order outside and wait to be called. This place is great place to meet new people however because people move mountains to come here from all over Boston. Inside they have a pool table which I don't use and a Juke box machine so if you like to hang out with friends bring them here. But more people comes with all different types of people, you have to deal with them in line too, there are people who just want to order their food and go home. People who you may deal with during peak hours include vampires(yes I said it), loud people, emotionally unstable people, drunk people, hot women(during the summer), people who hold up the line, and people like me order and go home.. The experience here is cool, in a way it keeps me coming back with little complaints.

Love it! The black bean veggie burger with spicy jalapeÃ±o cheese is the best. I'd give it 5 but once I waited 50 minutes for a burger and everyone I was with got there's in 15. The burger ended up being free, but I'd rather not make my friends wait all day.

Hey, great burgers, and they serve beer. What else can be said? And when I say great, yes, a step above your local pub. Worth a trip, certainly the go-to burger joint if you live near one. Unless you also live near a Shake Shack . . . that's just another level of burger.

Tasty Burger is my favorite fast-casual burger joint. They serve food late into the night, which is perfect after a long day/night of drinking. They also serve beer/wine (a good selection of craft stuff) if you want to keep the party going. As far as I can tell, the burgers are cooked to order. The Rise-N-Shine burger is the way to go here; perfectly done egg oozing all over the place. Rich, fatty, satly.... just downright gluttonous (especially if you wash it down with a shake). Place is always jammed, even on Sox off nights, just FYI. Oh and its wicked cheap!

Saf M.

**Consistently** the burger that can satisfy a burger craving. That's the only criterion that matters. I emphasize consistency here because the other Tasty Burger branches don't match up to this original (have had 3 awful experiences in 4 trips to Harvard). It beats snooty Shake Shack's adult happy meals any day. As a bonus, they're open very late and still serve 'em up fresh, and customer service is great.

I like it here. It's a converted gas station. How cool is that? Very collegey (is that a word?) crowd, with a few other people sprinkled in. Not that Whiskey's Bar college crowd, this is actually a studious, more upscale college aged bunch. I suspect during game time, the demographic changes dramatically. CHEAP and GOOD food. I LOVE the chili-cheese beef hot dog, yummy! I usually get a combo basket of fries/onion rings. Beware, they have those annoying shoestring onion rings, which are just gross and soggy and a pain to eat. They've got an expansive beer and wine selection, flat screens mounted, very clean, upscale atmosphere, and they are about a block from Red Sox Nation- Fenway Park. Cheapest, GOOD, meal in the area. Servers are great, service is spotty- sometimes really slow, sometimes quick.

A little overrated, yelp friends of mine. We had a friend in town who also loves using yelp, so we thought, oh we know a cheap place that has great reviews on yelp, let's try it! So we went, but definitely not a 4 star place. I mean, it is pretty cheap and if you are a student you can get a beer, fries, and a burger for $10 (select drafts of course ha) which is awesome considering we are in the land of no happy hour here in MA. But all of us just thought our burgers were just like any other cheap burger around, and they definitely weren't up to In & Out standards of cheap burgers for those of you who know what I am talking about! My burger came with cheese and jalapenos and it was fine, but nothing awesome. The 50/50 onion strings fries we got, the onion strings definitely won that battle since the fries were just average fries too. Good thing you make awesome milk shakes. The green monstah mint chip shake made Matt J. and his friend love this place so much more. Oh and they have an awesome picture of Samuel L Jackson from Pulp Fiction eating a burger artfully painted on the wall. That made it a way more awesome experience too. I need that artwork in my house.

Oh, Tasty Burger, I'd been waiting to try you for some time now. And oh, how you disappointed. We did takeout, I ordered a double bacon cheeseburger on a gluten-free bun (no lettuce or tomato) and a raspberry lime rickey. I paid. Then I found out that they were out of gluten-free buns. Would I like a regular bun? No, it's an allergy, I wouldn't eat fake bread if I didn't absolutely have to. Would I like a lettuce wrap? Why the hell would I want a lettuce wrap if I didn't want lettuce on it to begin with? Just give it to me in a box with a fork and a knife, please. They still got my $1.25 for my non-existent gluten-free bun. I was still hopeful that this would be a "tasty" burger. Alas, such was not to be. It was a salty burger. No amount of ketchup or mustard was going to change that. One star for the raspberry lime rickey being tasty enough to clear the salt from my palette. Minus 4 for the lack of communication, taking my $1.25, and the mouth puckeringly salty slabs of beef.

I really enjoyed Tasty Burger. Service was great, food served quick and it was truly a tasty burger. It's in a cool old auto garage and it's a block from Fenway. Kinda shocked to see the men's washroom plastered in graffiti, but hey that must be their vibe.

Food here is always good. Burgers, fries and stringy style onion rings. While most burger joints have other items on menu, everything we have ordered here has been great - hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, even hummus. Really great value for your $, everything tastes fresh and freshly prepared. Fast, efficient service inside, where you can enjoy some good beers. Unfortunately, take out window service has become shoddy. Always straight forward orders, but for some reason, lately, nothing has been easy. Service always a bit erratic, and some cashiers a little snarky ( hey, would order faster if the menu was not around the corner so when I want to look at something have to move over to side and take a look ). You can call in an order, but have to give a credit card. That many fake orders? Usually in car when I think it would be great to swing by on way home, so this never works. On one visit asked for chips with works, please put the bacon on the side (sharing with a non bacon lover). Looked at my receipt and realized cashier had rung it up as no bacon and then charging me for a side bacon. When I inquired, was told that was their policy. The side bacon was then left out of the order when I got home. Last week ordered at window. Very cold, outside lamps not on. Lunch time. Tons of people working inside. Twenty five minutes later, went to window and asked for a refund and to cancel order. Apparently they had a very large delivery order and just shut down the take out. Would have been nice to be told or forewarned. There was no, "let me check on it," or apologies, just gave me the money back.

This was the first restaurant my wife and I ate at when we reached Boston on a Friday afternoon. Our waitress was extremely friendly and had lots of recommendations. I ordered the jalapeÃ±o burger with large fries to share, and my wife ordered a bacon cheeseburger. I paired my burger with a harpoon IPA which was incredible. My burger was cooked to a perfect medium with grilled jalapeÃ±os and thousand Island dressing. The French fries were a little bland, but perfectly crunchy. I would have loved an option for spicy seasoned fries or garlic parmesan fries!

Vicky D.

Such a great place for students or families on a budget who are going to a game. You can get a good burger and fries and BEER/WINE for pretty cheap! Service was quick and although I didn't order a burger, it looked pretty basic but good. Had some fries which were fresh and crispy. Would definitely come back here again next time I'm in Boston in the Fenway area.

Romulo R.

The hostess and the attendant at the counter/bar both both super friendly and welcoming. And that is about the end of the good part. Seriously, I feel that I went to an alternate universe version of the Tasty Burger everyone here raves about. I ordered a veggie burger, which should have been at least decent. The first thing that I noticed is that my burger took a long time. I mean, maybe they had to run to Shaw's to buy a veggie patty, but seriously, the place was not that busy, it was lunch time on a Saturday so they should have been fully staffed. Then I got excited when I got my order. The burger was neatly wrapped and it was pipping hot. A good sign, but after the first bite I noticed that it tasted very mushy, perhaps it had sat under the hot lights for too long? I really should have sent it back. But maybe that is how they are . Then after a couple of more bites it dawned on me? the bread was soggy, as in it had not been toasted and all the condiment had soaked into it. This burger was really gross. I ordered the onion rings and they also were very unappetizing. Overall, I judge this a crappy experience. My stomach is still reeling from that assault and I would say honestly stay way from this place, unless you just have beer. The ambiance was very strage. This was 1:00 PM on a Saturday afternoon and they were blaring some kinda hip-hop thing very loud, now, I know what you are thinking, Rom, you are just getting old. But kinda the poinht of lunch is to go have a conversation, fine turn up the radio at night if you want when it's party central. A saving grace is that they have a little area for families so little kids can relax and be themselves, but honestly, I would not take my kids to eat here.

I used to live on the East Cost and one thing I missed from Chicago was a good burger. My sister took me to Tasty Burger first thing when I landed in Boston. I would highly recommend to any midwesterner, now East Coast missing home to go here, but warning you ask for a "Pop" they won't know what you are talking about ;) My sister had the Teriyaki, I took a bite, very yummy. I tried the classic Tasty burger, it's inda along the lines of Portillos, but I am biased.

Alexandra M.

Got the spicy jalapeno made with a veggie burger and they did not account for the lack of the juiciness that the veggie burger had making it very dry. The spicy cheese was good...but not very spicy which I thin they tried to make up for with a massive amount of jalapenos. I put some mayo on and that balanced it out well. Really good veggie burger though. We got the 50/50 for people to share and the onion rings and fries were average. The first table we sat at had the air conditioner right above it...meaning there was water dripping on the table so we had to move. Service was decent. Didn't stay on top of water, and we kept having different people do different things. Great prices for students.

This place is awesome. Its crowded and loud at times, they only serve beer and wine, but damn their food is good. If you are in the area and drunk, its even better. This is my go-to for food after a night or day of drinking around the Fenway.

Wow, let me tell a story about this place! I took Brent, my 13 year old stepson, here one day after baseball practice. We have been trying to eat healthy, but when I asked him if he wanted to go to Pita Pit, he said, "No, f*gg*t, I want bacon burger now!" so we came here instead. Their burgurs have the highest amount of flavor this stepdad has ever tasted! We got their 50/50 order of fries and rings. Brent also got a chocolate shake and I tasted a little bit when he threw it in my face (I hope this was an accident) outside on the way back to the car. The only reason I am doing 4 stars instead of a "perfect 5" is becase Brent was rude to me a little bit, and I think the restaurant could have helped a bit with that. All in all, it's a great food place, but not as good as Dave and Busters for stepdad/stepson bonding dinner. Still good for stepparents though. - Rick

I've been a huge fan of Tasty Burger since they opened in Fenway. I find that the more frills are put on a burger, the less I want to eat it. Tasty Burger burgers are simple: flat, greasy, American-cheesy, and just plain tasty. To top that, they have been consistently adding to their canned beer list, which I LOVE. Plus you get a $2 coozie! What could ruin that package? Oh, I know.. TERRIBLE SERVICE. The service at this particular location has gone WAY, WAY downhill since it opened. I don't know if management has changed hands or what, but it has taken a complete 180 .. I used to go in and be greeted almost immediately by either the bartender, host, manager, basically whoever saw me first and it was with a smile and "Where would you like to sit?" The bartenders used to be friendly and accommodating and now I feel like I'm a burden when I take a seat at the bar. I KNOW that a friendly demeanor is 100% necessary to work behind a bar, because I'm a bartender! That's right; I'm a bartender and I almost always prefer to sit at the bar instead of a table, so yes, I am constantly judging the type of service I get from behind the taps. Lately, I'll walk in and absolutely no one will acknowledge my presence for 5 or so minutes. Eventually, I'll take a seat and then for another 5-10 minutes I'll be waiting for someone to come and say hello and take my drink order. One time recently, a gentleman (not in any particular uniform) didn't even say "hello" or "how are you?".. He literally plopped menus on our table and walked away. Are you kidding me? Then when we weren't ready to order, he didn't come back for another 10-15 minutes. We had to call him over and he told us "Sorry, I thought you were still having a conversation." Towards the end I think he realized he was giving extremely undesirable service, because he started being overly nice. I tipped over 20% because I am a server and this is how most people make a living. But Tasty Burger, you need to get it together. Seriously. Just absolutely unacceptable. Your food is so good! It should be just as much a priority to make your service standards as good, too.

I'm not going to lie, this place is so good. It's relatively inexpensive for the amount of food you get. I always recommend getting a combo. That way, you get a burger or hot dog (with many choices), fries, and a drink. I definitely appreciate that the burgers are made to order and the medium rare is a good pink that is juicy and savory. I usually get the Tasty Burger. I also tried the Chili Cheese Dog the other day and it was insanely delicious and hit the spot. The hot dog was juicy in the inside and the chili cheese made all the difference. I definitely will try more of the selection of burgers and hot dogs. I'm lucky to work at Fenway and be able to walk over for lunch whenever I can. I love that this place has an indoor seating section, an outdoor patio, and picnic benches with a to go window. I also enjoy that it's good for individuals or large groups to eat here, and also to enjoy a beer! A lot of people compare this place to In-N-Out. I wouldn't say they are the same thing, because they have a distinctive difference, but I think that this is what I enjoy on the East Coast since I don't have In-N-Out. I enjoy them both equally.

It's opened til 2 a.m.....as in...get out of the bar and get food. Do i need to say more? Not really, but I will. The burgers are yummy, the onion ring and fry combo is a godsend...and getting a Raspberry Lime-Rickey at 130 in the morning never tasted so wonderful. This place has a fun feel, like you are at a drive in or something. I like the picnic tables outside =). I will be coming back here soon...possibly on Friday around 145 a.m....Yeah probably.

I seriously thought I had reviewed Tasty Burger, but I guess it slipped my mind... Not much to say that hasn't been said in the 323 other reviews. We got take-out on St. Patty's Day and brought it home. It wasn't as hot as it would have been had we eaten it there, but it was still DELISH. It took a loong time for our order to come out, but they were fairly busy. Would I go there again? Yes, but there are some better burgers out there.

I have celiac's disease, and being able to eat late night with all of my friends without getting sick makes me feel like a normal person! It is so nice to come to tasty burger time and time again and not get glutened. It's easy, fast, delicious, and they are great about gluten free. Great gf buns, AMAZING French fries. Love this place!

Great location, somewhere in Fenway that is easy to park, and a very good burger - really don't need much more... well except for a clean bathroom. The bathroom here knocked off a star because on the way in i had to walk through a literal SEA of fruit flies, blech, and the bathroom itself was pretty gross. I had the burger with jalapenos and spicy cheese, and it was VERY hot. The onion rings are super delicious and I hope to go back soon (as long as i use a restroom before).

Disappointing, sad dry burger. I went to the new one in Back Bay and got the After School Special burger- the one with macaroni & cheese. Sounds like it would be delightful, but the macaroni & cheese tasted like it was made a few days before and refrigerated until needed for an order, then nuked in the microwave for 10 seconds before being ice cream scooped onto the burger. Nast to a T. The fries were decent but nothing to recommend, and the line and service were both prohibitively long.

I was so disappointed today after bringing an out of town guest to Fenway. I had brag over and over again about the awesome burgers I had always got at Tasty Burger..freshly made and cooked to perfection. Well..was I in for a surprise..you could tell the burgers had been made earlier..they were pink inside and had the appeal of pink slime..they definetly had that pasty, mush factor..there was nothing handmade about them..the shape was like any cheap prefrozen burger you go out of your way to avoid.. We took then back to our seats to eat and after two bits decided they were not worth the risk factor of eating and getting sick nor were we enjoying them. My traditional Tasty Burger has now ended..they will forever leave that experience with me..definitely no way to start an outing at Fenway. .btw..I am a season pass holder in the Loge seats..

Turkey burger!!! Seriously, get it. Might be the health nut in me, but this might be one of my favorite turkey burgers I've had. So juicy and well seasoned. I usually get the big tasty but substitute with the turkey burger. Yum. Also, get the half and half onion rings and fries... Their onion rings are nice and thin and super crisp. Wouldn't really recommend the shakes.. They're not amazing. Other than that, I love this place! I love their burgers and am so excited when I'm in the area to grab a quick bite. Burgers are reasonably priced too, and they're pretty big!!!

Came here because I purchased a Gilt City Deal. Tasty Burger has both indoor and outdoor seating. We decided on the latter because it was nice out. However, it took a while because the cashier wasn't quite ready when the place opened. This deal was an absolute steal! Came with 2 juicy Tasty burgers, 2 orders of fries, and 2 milkshakes. The burgers was filling and tender. I devoured the crisp fries instantly. Loved how it wasn't ruined with salt. The milkshakes were a little disappointing though. I ordered the strawberry and vanilla.....both tasted the same to me. Other than that, Tasty Burger is a thumbs up for me =)

Stephanie H.

The first two times I went here, I was pretty happy. The burgers are tasty (not the best though) and I enjoy the old fashioned process of walking up to a burger stand to order. The Fenway vibe is also pretty hip. The reason I'm giving them 2-3 stars though is because I have a wheat allergy, meaning I can't eat gluten (a protein found in wheat), and someone gave me the wrong bun. I know some people in the service industry don't always take gluten free requests seriously because eating gluten free has become somewhat of a fad lately. But the real reason gluten free options exist is because there are people who do get seriously sick from ingesting this protein. The first two times I went here, I ordered a gluten free bun and felt totally fine. There was no mix up or cross-contamination. The crappy thing about a food allergy is that you really have to trust the people who prepare your food and trust that they'll get your request right. Recently however, I ordered a burger to go with a gluten free bun. When I got home, I took a bite of the burger and noticed something a bit different. The bun was a completely different bun than the one I got a day ago. The texture was very different. I had already swallowed a bite before I decided to be safe and remove the rest of the bun from my burger and consume just the paddy. Needless to say, afterwards I got an allergy attack that lasted all night long. I will continue to eat here, but I'm going to have to be extra vigilant about ordering and making sure my order is gluten free. All gluten free order requests should be taken equally seriously, whether or not it's an allergy or simply gluten intolerance.

I'm a huge fan of Five Guys and Steak and Shake and this place is right up there with them! First I have to say we were pleasantly surprised to find two of Boston's finest cops in there and they looked like they walked right out of a calendar. Seriously. I was hoping to get arrested! I digress. The burgers were super moist and tasty and we shared a small fry which was more than enough to share. They tasted fresh cut and were seasoned perfectly. Boom. Then again I guess I could have been under the influence of super hot cops.

I had been craving a chili dog for days and I was beginning to annoy my boyfriend with my constant whining about it, so we decided to check this place out. I don't remember what we got, but my craving was sufficiently satisfied. I wound up being unable to finish what I'd gotten, it was far too fattening. I literally would've gone up a dress size. But trust me, I was tempted, cus it was yummy. I could see this place being GREAT after some drinking, plus the prices are really good, and I think they have a student discount?

Burgers just about $5. This is definitely bang for your buck. Competition for shake shack and in-n-out for me (could also be the beers I had prior to feasting on their food influencing me a bit). The burgers are cooked medium and very good. The onion rings are thin and crispy. The fries were ok...stick with the onion rings instead. The place looks like a fast food place from the outside. There's a dine-in area here with a bar, which I didn't even notice till after we finished ordering from the take-out window. It seems like everything is cooked to order. We waited about 10-15 minutes to get our food after placing our orders. This is a great spot for late night snacks or after drinks food.

Tasty Burger is a great drunk place to hang out and get some delicious burgers. They have a pool table and it's set up in a sort of diner/bar fashion. I love that even though it's a burger place, they have healthy options (gluten free bun, turkey burger, veggie burger, etc). That's a big plus for me, and for any guys taking girls on late night adventures there! Only negative of the food were the onion rings. They are served as more of a sauteed onion rather than a deep fried one, just a personal preference I have as an onion ring fanatic. Other that than, their food was delicious!

I've only had one burger from here so maybe I got a fluke, but what's the big deal? These tastes like the burgers they served in my high school cafeteria and, while edible, are absolutely nothing to write home about. I'd take Five Guys or Shake Shack over Tasty Burger any day, but I'll probably give 'em another shot just in case.

Unfortunately, I have to knock a couple stars off what was my favorite burger joint on the East Coast. Ever since they opened up their Back Bay location, Tasty Burger decided to change up how they make their signature Big Tasty burger. It used to be made with diced up pickles and white onions smeared on the bottom bun. I always felt that this was the genius of the Big Tasty because those 2 toppings were spread evenly for a taste in every bite you took. It really set Tasty Burger apart from the competition. So now for some reason, they've gone and replaced this method with regular run-of-the-mill pickle slices and thin slices of red onions. This change completely alters the taste profile of the burger for the worst. Some good news is that Tasty Burger now serves Tater Tots which is awesome (though $5 for pretty small side of it is a little on the expensive side) and they've put my favorite chicken sandwich of theirs, the Chicky Chicky Parm Parm on the regular menu now so it can be ordered anytime!

This place is (un)fortunately about a 5 minute walk from my apartment and open late. It is perfect for sopping up alcohol after waiting in the long line for takeout or when nothing else is open but I just got off a late flight from a business trip (still with long line). The prices are so reasonable: the big tasty with 50/50 and Cheerwine or root beer is my guilty pleasure. The people working the takeout must be overwhelmed constantly as they occasionally get cranky. But, my tips do not go unappreciated and I always receive a "thank you". It takes a bit for the order to get ready but you are rewarded with a simple, no fuss, pretty tasty burger. The fries are nothing special but the onion rings are delicious. The last time I was there, the system went down and we had to wit over 20 minutes yet no one informed us - I only knew because I was second in line and the people ahead of me told me when I asked what was causing the delay. Thankfully, I had cash but not sure how the queue behind me fared. So I would suggest having at $15 in cash just in case. Now that Red Sox season is upon us, prepare to wait to enjoy an inexpensive, better than fast food meal.

The veggie burgers are back to being crispy, but not the fried wonderfulness of 2012. Tasty is the go-to for a bad day or after going out (open til 3 am!) Big tasty and jalapeno are my favorites. Heard rumors of them closing for parking or something dumb PLEASE DON'T :(

We end up here often if we are in Fenway. Quick service, affordable and tasty. My favorite is the original tasty burger... Or the jalapeÃ±o burger! I recommend asking for half onion strings, half fries- the best of both worlds. Outside seating is nice but no alcohol may be consumed there.

Probably the most amazing burger I've ever tasted! Its the "in n out burger" of Massachusetts. My sisters and I were looking for some late night grub and we had a tasty burger open until 2 am that was within walking distance of my sisters apartment. We got there at around 1:30 and ordered three big tasty's and a side of fries. We got the fries first, which were nice and crispy. The burgers followed soon after. It was wonderfully wrapped as I'm not the type of person to just grab the entire burger out of the wrapper and eating it (the contents fall out and makes it super messy). The meat patty was on point, tender, juicy and seasoned to perfection. The lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and crunchy. The tasty sauce is to die for! I didn't add any extra sauce to my burger. Overal I'd definitely visit tasty burger again whenever I'm in town visiting!

Tasty Burger has pretty good decent burgers. I can come here for a reliably yummy and satisfying burger that's not too too heavy. Basically, it's dripping with enough oil to hit that greasy food craving, but not leave you feeling disgusted with yourself. I had their onion rings and fries for the first time which was a delicious surprise. The fries were super thin and crispy! None of them were soggy and soaked with oil. The onion rings were incredibly thin because they used red onions instead of the traditional vidalia onion. I was surprised that the batter actually stuck to the thin rings, which made them taste even better! Compared to uburger and burgerfi, I think Tasty Burger takes the prize. The only thing is it's so far and inconviently located for most people

When some colleagues at my conference found out that my hotel was near Tasty Burger, they insisted I go! A friend and I headed over there tonight and we were not disappointed. The atmosphere is fun, friendly, and informal. It's the perfect place to kick back at after a long day. We both decided to get bacon cheeseburgers, but my friend asked for sautÃ©ed onions on hers. The servers were friendly and very quick! I was impressed with both the service and the food. Our burgers hit the spot. I would definitely go back!

5 STARS FOR THE BURGERS. 1 STAR FOR CLEANLINESS. The floors are slippery and greasy - even the concrete outside is slippery from all of the food spills. The men's room was doubly gross - there was liquid sewage on the floor. I'm sure that it gets tracked into the dining room, bar and the kitchen. UBER GROSS! The burgers were great, as were the shoestring onion rings. Our ketchup bottle was empty, as were the ones on the neighboring tables. $10 Starving Student Special (with ID), gets you a burger, fries and a beer.

I love the way the burgers are wrapped! The paper is cylindrically wrapped that allows for a nice peel back, exposing only the portion of burger that you want to nom. OK, perhaps I should get to the meat of this review (waa waaaaa). Aside from the awesome paper, the burger definitely lives up to its moniker (i.e. tasty). There are tons of choices for toppings, so you can get exactly what you want. Jalapenos for me, of course. The price is quite reasonable at less than $6. The patty is a bit thin but substantial enough to carry the burger. And the fries are on point!! Crispy and not too thick, just how I like 'em. They also have a surprisingly decent beer selection, which I wasn't expecting at a fast-food-ish type place.

Honestly, I find this place to be infinitely better than Shake Shack. Overall my favorite place to grab a burger on the east coast, and the fact that it actually stays open past 12 in Boston makes Tasty one of my to go places after leaving one of the local bars. To me, classics are the best, so I'll always recommend the Big Tasty burger to all newcomers. Same basic ingredients as any generic burger, but the spread and juiciness of the burger definitely makes a difference. They also sell a unique burger around every other day, and some of them are truly questionable (I'm looking at you Mac n' Cheese Burger). However, their In-N-Out Homage Burger and Burger Bomb are to die for, so if you see them selling it, definitely get it or wait for it to come back next month! Finally, their fries are absolutely amazing! Perfect crispiness, and in my opinion on par with that of In-N-Out. I would recommend, however, that you eat them as soon as you get them cuz they tend to get a bit softer when sitting in the take-out boxes, which sort of ruins the whole crispiness aspect. And for the best bang for your buck, order the basket of fries if sitting in, cuz quantity wise it's a lot more than individual fries for 2.

I am so happy I finally tried Tasty Burger! On the outside, it looks like a fast food joint, but the inside is a sit-down restaurant. Tasty burger also has a section for take out only which is very convenient to grab it to go. I came here on the night of the storm, but I am sure this place gets crowded quickly normally. I ordered the hamburger and fries. The burger tasted fresh, although it could be juicier. The fries tasted average at first, but I appreciated the taste the more I had. The service was prompt and got the job done - nothing special there. I will definitely be coming back!

Great burgers. Free pool games. Awesome green monster shakes and fries! This is a must and it's the Boston Red Sox's favorite burger.

3 pm on a very quiet afternoon, maybe 3 orders ahead of mine. Just got a cheeseburger. Waited 20 minutes. The problem with the burger is that there is very little taste to it. May be a lack of seasoning but the thing is plain. You decide, if you want to wait 20 minutes for a burger then go for it.

Nin R.

The burger was good. The menu is kind of confusing but you can have your burger cooked up any way you want it for the most part. The sausage gravy fries are a must try. Came here after a game at Fenway Park and received pretty good service still.

Kieran M.

Yup. Definitely a very tasty burger. I am just thankful I live nowhere near this place, so I do not consume their delicious food on a regular basis. The burger was great, so was their massive hot dogs, but the highlight was the onion rings. We went through multiple baskets of these. The only reason we didn't order more, is because they literally ran out. Next time we are back in Boston, I will make it a point to stop by here.

A late night tradition in the Fenway area for takeout. Solid dinner option inside restaurant as well with an extensive canned beer list and a pool table. Excellent fries

Big task and they pull it off. This pass Saturday had to make a special order at 10.15pm for my clients of 45 burgers fries and onion rings. Total order of $356.08 not to mention that the concert at Fenway was getting out at 10.30pm. Big challenge but they did it. Manager was a bit confused o you are going to shut down my kitchen the Concert is getting out. Hey the burgers was tasty and we got all wee need to Go. Great Job will challenge you again .

To say Tasty Burger was life changing would be an understatement. Im a huge burger fan. Five guys, shake shack, BurgerFi, you name it and I've probably been there. Tasty burger was last on my list and this weekend I got to cross it off. I went to TB the day after halloween so I was feeling a little "under the weather" to say the least. I ordered the original tasty burger, a vanilla milkshake, and a basket of fries. First of all, the food came out very quickly which was a plus. The fries were not as good as I was expecting but were still very satisfying. The milk shake was on point as well. It was the perfect size and a good ratio of ice cream and milk. Finally, the burger. Not only was it the perfect size, the bread was soft, the patty was well seasoned, and the mayo/ketchup/ tasty burger sauce wasn't overpowering. Not only did I leave feeling very full, my "under-the-weatherness" was completely cured. Besides being completely delicious, the prices are amazing. For everything I ordered my bill was less than $10. My advice - if you are ever in the Fenway area, make sure to stop at TB. You will not be disappointed and I guarantee you will leave trying to plan the next time you can come back.

Rich H.

I would give this restaurant a five for food and a two for service. I ordered a tasty burger without onions and a combo including onion strings and a drink. I asked the waitress about the cherry wine which was a local bottled soft drink. She said order it if you like that kind of stuff. She said there would be a small up charge for that. The food was really good and the Cherrywine was nice as well. My only beef was that she charged for the bottled soft drink and also charged me for the entire combination meal and did not remove the charge for the soft drink. She should have been more clear about the order or have at least offered to bring me an extra soft drink or bottled water.

I was looking for a place to eat quickly, so I could go into Fenway Park once they open. I saw "Tasty Burger" right across the street and they were busy. I always like to try the non-chain restaurants, so I figured that I would give them a try. I really enjoyed eating here. It's has an indoor & outdoor dining experience. There's a variety of burgers that you could order, and they tasted good! The negative part is that they only have one bathroom per gender; so whenever someone enters their restroom, they have to lock the door and there'll be a line waiting. Depending on how crowded the place is, determines how long the bathroom line will be. Based on the quality, price, speed & convenience of eating here near Fenway Park, I will definitely come back again the next time I watch a Red Sox game in Boston!

Chris M.

I love me some Tasty Burger. The worst part of the Fenway area is accidentally ending up there on a game day. Thankfully I was there during an afternoon when there was no game and just after lunch. I bellied up to the bar ordered a burger and cider. It was great, the hardest part was waiting for it to cool down. I'm a fan of tasty burger's burgers. But, I don't get anything wild or fancy, just meat, bun, and a lot of ketchup. I'm classy like that. Bonus points for feeling like I was having a burger in a garage, in face I'm pretty sure this used to be an auto shop in a past life. They make the most of their space and it's the true burger king of the street (not the burger king a block away). If it isn't busy, and you are in the area and are just going to order a burger no matter where you go, then go here you'll enjoy it!

I was recently visiting a college friend in Boston, and she and her friends took me to Tasty Burger after a night out for some post-drinking food. It was really busy and seemed to be a popular spot for crowds leaving the bars. I liked this place because it was kind of in between fast food and a regular sit-down restaurant. I also didn't feel like the food I was eating was quite as bad for you as the standard fast food places. This may have been an alcohol-fueled illusion though, so who knows. I had a regular burger and, as the name suggests, it was tasty. It was served very hot and tasted fresh. The fries were also fantastic--very thin and crispy. These were also fresh out of the frier and some of the best I have had recently. On top of this, I also ordered a chocolate milkshake. It was good but I wasn't as impressed as I was with the food. I definitely enjoyed my experience here and wish that Pittsburgh would get some Tasty Burgers!

Burgers are solid. Tater tots are ON POINT. And milk shakes are old school good. But don't expect to be served in a timely fashion if there is a ball game. And also, be prepared for your bum to stick to the picnic table. Sticky. Central.

I closed my eyes and in I plunged, To a burger as juicy as a sponge. A great stop before or after Fenway Park, Stuff your face with meat until it gets dark. Made a stop before heading to House of Blues for a concert. You have the option to either order at the window and eat outside or take out. You can also dine inside at the restaurant/bar. The guy at the window kept calling me "buddy" with a big smile on his face. After I ordered I really felt like I was his buddy. We got two "Tasty Burgers" and an order of onion strings. The burger patty was ridiculously juicy and nicely spiced. It came with lettuce, tomato, onions, and a pickle topped with "special sauce" which was excellent. The onion strings were thin and crispy. They were made with red onion as opposed to white which seemed to give a little more twang. A truly great takeout meal. They do have a parking lot, but during Fenway games or special events you probably won't get a spot.

Came here on a friend's recommendation and it was worth it! Total came to about $30 for two. Good price for two burgers, two beers, and a 50/50, which by the way is something you should get. Half deliciously skinny and salty fries and half onion rings! Perfect for sharing and you get a little bit if everything. I got the mushroom burger and added sautÃ©ed onions. Super juicy burger and cooked perfectly. We went before a concert at Fenway and our service kept calm and cool under the rush the place was getting. Another plus is their beer selection. It's not too often you find fast food places around Boston with a beer selection. I'll be going back!

Ashley N.

Pretty good burgers. 50/50 is the way to go. Friend sweet red onions are so good. Fries were okay, I'm from California so people say this is the closest thing to In N Out. I would definitely say the fries were not that great. In N Out takes the win for that. But the onion rings were good. I love fries, so I would go with the 50/50. & I love that option on the menu! Hubba Burger was delicious! It's warm for a cold day like tonight (polar vortex hit again). The only thing is that by the end it gets to be very heavy, But I like the chili mixed with the meat and bread. It's really good. Spicy Jalapeno was quite a kick! I love spicy food but tonight, I just took a first bite and it got me. I switched burgers with my friend (what a friend!). It was good though if you like spicy food. Just make sure all the jalapenos are spread out evenly throughout the burger. Great atmosphere. Good artwork. They serve beer! Very decent pricing for food/drinks/alcohol. It's also in a great location! Eat here, and go to a Red Sox game. I also had to redeem Tasty Burger, because I had the one in Southie, and it was not as great as tonight. I'd be returning to this one and I have yet to try the one in Harvard. Also, I still love In N Out more though, but as I'm on the east coast, I still appreciate Tasty Burger!

The absolutely worst service from the waitress to the bartender. The only time the waitress cares about service is when we go to the bar. I was the 10 minutes waiting for friends to come and after 10 minutes to get a drink at the bar the bartender refuse service because I was at a table. Sitting at table with tables on either side that were never cleaned till well after I got my food. This place is over rated by far. Never encounter rude service to have a waitress only drop the menu in front of us as if we were imposing on her time. At least the one in harvard Sq is better. Go somewhere else for burgers no need to go here.

Ryan R.

Went here to pick up a bite to eat on a weeknight. I was surprised to see such a crowd even on a non-Red Sox game day. I ordered by phone and picked it up without waiting in line at all so I would definitely recommend that. I ordered a double spicy jalapeÃ±o burger and a side of onion rings. The burger itself was good, but not amazing. It was a little bit overdone for my taste, but the toppings went well with it. The onion rings, on the other hand, were pretty phenomenal. Probably some of the tastiest onion rings I've ever had. The prices of all that was around $14, so it's not the cheapest place, but it was a good amount of food. If you do go, do yourself a favor and get a side of onion rings, you won't regret it.

Karen R.

I LOVE burgers and this place does not disappoint! They offer a selection of special burgers, but I went with the classic big and tasty burger and onion rings. So good. The onion rings were very thinly sliced and I could not finish the serving. My burger was juicy and just so good. They have a take out window with picnic tables outside, we opted for the seated side and had a pitcher of beer and our dinners. I will definitely be back here for my next Sox game!

Lacey Q.

I first want to thank tasty burger's employees that have to deal with the plethora of drunk idiots on a regular basis. The burgers are perfect after a night out and I believe everyone would agree since the lines are pretty long even late into the night. You might even get some live entertainment while waiting; I've seen a couple parking lot fights. You'll regret eating here the next day but while your eating a tasty burger and your licking the cheese off your arm you will be completely satisfied.

You know a burger joint is special when you don't even particularly love burgers, but drool at the thought of one from there. This is Tasty Burger. I don't know what makes them so good, but they are. Normally a ketchup-on-burger eater, Tasty Burger does not need any condiments. Most recently, I had a simple cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato and pickles. SO GOOD! I almost went back the next night for round 2. They also have a great beer selection, and are so inexpensive. If you're heading to a game, avoid the absurd Fenway prices and indulge here instead. Your wallet and belly will thank you. I also love the casual vibe and setup. Great service, too. If the scent of burgers and fries wafting through the Fenway area hasn't already lured you in, check out Tasty Burger ASAP. You won't be disappointed.

One of my go-to's and I love that it's open so late. I can always smell it when I pass by on my way home and it draws me in... They've got a nice variety of burgers here, but I still think my favorite is their standard, the Big N Tasty. You can add bacon too for $1. Their fries are really good; they've got that extra crisp to them without being crunchy. I think their fries come second to In-N-Out's fries, in terms of fast-food places. Prices are really good, as your meal (without tip) usually ends up being just under $10. The restaurant itself has a fun atmosphere to it. The service is usually on the slower side. They also have a pool table. I noticed they have a jukebox too, but it's like a tech-y jukebox with a touch screen and credit card slider, so nobody really uses it because I don't think anybody knows what it is. Overall: great burgers and fries for a very reasonable price!

Pat K.

One of the best places to eat in the shadow of Fenway Park. If you want cheap food, cheap beer and a good place to meet come here. The burgers are great, if you are looking for a great burger get the Gorgonzola burger and a side of onion rings. Put the onion rings on the burger, and wham one hell of a burger. They can get busy on weekend nights and when the Red Sox are playing but its not that bad of a wait. I was there over this past weekend and had about a 10 minute wait and the Sox game was just getting over. During the warmer months the picnic tables and doors are open which can be a lot of fun with a group. A tip for someone that has been going here a while. If you are going to the Sox game with some friends call ahead an order a sack of burgers/cheeseburgers for around $25 you get 5 burgers and you can eat and walk as you head into Fenway.... Also if you are there when someone is doing the eating challenge, make sure you watch you will never look at a hot dog or burger the same way....

Stopped here on the way to Fenway Park for a quick bite last Wednesday before a Red Sox game.Ordered from the window and was given a number. Fifteeen minutes later our number was called. The cheeseburger was overcooked and the onions rings were soggy and undercooked. Eating outside at a picnic table was fun since it was a nice evening.Cost was 9.50per person not including a beverage. Tip:Inside Fenway Park Tasty Burger had a vendor walking around selling burgers.

I love tasty burger! The food is great and reasonably priced. This visit, we tried the original tasty burger and the "after school special". Both were extremely satisfying and cooked to perfection. Staff is friendly and attentive, but not overbearing. And gay friendly! 5 stars.

Veronica B.

There's not much to say other than this is the best burger I've had in the US, maybe even in the world. Every time I've had food from here it's been consistently perfect, super cheap, especially when compared to similar chains like 5 guys (but way better burgers in my opinion). Unfortunately I don't live in Boston anymore and I'm going to miss the burgers from here so much!
(5)
Paisley P.

Alright, no change in the stars because this place is still a STAR, but how do you run out of onion rings at 6PM on a Tuesday evening with the party hopping??? Literally the only reason why I was there last night and was turned down! Another point--The server definitely had his fries in a bunch. I think the only sentence he said to us was "What can I get you?" He passed by our table multiple times, seeing the check was ready, and didn't pick it up until we had another server make him do it! And he also didn't wait to give us our check or ask if we wanted anything else...I had to order my milkshake outside! Ugh! But still I will be back. Indefinitely.

The food is great! I typically get the Hubba Burger and it is one of the best burgers I have ever had. My one major problem with this place is the service. It is never consistent, sometimes you go in and you're taken care of right away other times your meal takes an hour.

March 19, 2015: Downgrading one star because the parking is an illusion, at least during the work week when they seem to sell the spots to local businesses. Plus, with deep snow banks still lingering, there was no on-street parking. No parking, no Tasty Burger for us today!

Minju K.

This is my go-to fast food burger place in the area. it's a great place to come at night to drink beer, have fun with friends to watch sports or play pool (free). The line can be a bit long but if you come during the weekdays, it shouldn't be that bad. They have great burger deals but I go with a burger (forgot the name) with a fried egg. that's my absolute favorite burger. If you are in the area, def check out this place! affordable, chill, and yummy.
(4)
Wendy T.

So affordable and delicious! Seriously THE best find in the Boston area. My favorites are the fries and onion rings. My god it actually tastes like onion rings for once and not just heavily fried dough. For extra points, get spicy cheese sauce on the side for dipping burgers and pretty much anything else.

One the best burgers in Boston is just $5. I've had the famous craigie burger, the back bay social burger, Russell house burger....To me, tasty burger will always hold a special place in the Boston Burger Hall of Fame. Not only is it fantastic, but the vibe here is great. My friends and I love the tucked away space in the back by the pool table. It's everything you want a burger joint to be: laid back, fun, cheap, and absolutely delicious. My favorite is the onion burger. It's got fried onions as well as grilled with American cheese. It's absolutely divine. Grab an order of large fries to share.

There was nothing tasty about this place! From hygiene/sanitation to the quality/value of the food... it was just bad! I went to the order window on a evening that did not seem busy. I ordered a veggie burger, fries and a strawberry shake. The first thing I noticed was that my shake was made right away and put to the side where they left all the other drinks before the full order was ready. There were about 5 people waiting when I went to go sit down. It took over 30 minutes before they called my number. Hygiene: I took one sip of my shake and felt like I took a shot of pure syrup. My shake was completely melted and tasted like it had more sugar than any shake I've ever had. Right away I asked for a new shake and the employees looked at me like making a fresh shake was unheard of. I stood there and waited and noticed that the person making my shake tripped over the trashcan by the register. She used the only hand that had a glove on to pick it up and fix the bag inside the trashcan (she did not change her glove nor wash her hands afterwards). Then another employee who was handling the orders walked over to help her (she didn't have on any gloves) and picked up the trash and immediately went back to handling the orders (without washing her hands or putting on gloves). Quality of Food: The fries taste like they were dried out McDonald's fries. My veggie burger literally fell apart after one bite, the bun was dry and the toppings were the worse. For some reason they grind the pickles and onions together. I had ordered an extra side of pickles and onions thinking that I would get onions that tasted like onions and pickle slices that smelled of pickle juice in 2 separate small containers. Instead what I got was a 1 (2 oz) container of flimsy like onions and "pickles" that had been grind together and drained. Needless to say my food found its way to the nearest trashcan!

One of my favorite places to get a beer and a burger. Probably crave this place at least once a week... The atmosphere is fun and eclectic. The wait staff inside is usually pretty good. Overall, fast, cheap, and delicious!

Such a fun place! It has a drive-in movie feel. I was only in town for a few days and I'm glad I found this gem. The menu was great, everything was pretty cheap and came with a good portion size. And it's hard to find a good place to chill to just have a beer and a burger. It was rather crowded for a Thursday night, but even then, the service was good. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Boston.

Avoid coming here before and after a Red Sox game. Delicious burger joint. All of their burgers are good. If you order a burger and fries, you will definitely be full. It is also decently priced. The service can sometimes be slow, but they are at least friendly. Atmosphere is super chill. A great place to grab a quick bite to eat with friends. During the summer, it is nice to sit out in their outdoor seating while eating a delicious burger. I have come to Tasty Burger countless times afterwards.

Yeajin L.

Not a big fan. They do have big flavors for their burgers, but for me, that throws me off. If you like various toppings on your burger like pineapple, different types of cheese, etc etc, you will like it. I am more of a typical "cheddar cheese, patty, sautÃ©ed onion, ketchup, mustard" burger person. Their fries are too salty for my taste also.

Melissa D.

Really impressed by this place. Great food, decently priced, eco-friendly even! My little boys made a memory here that will probably stick with them forever: they got to play pool on a real pool table! They were in Heaven. When we got there, 2 other littler boys (mine are 5 & 9) were "playing pool" and I was shocked none of the staff were scolding them away. Turns out it's really a family place. I couldn't believe the pool table and pool sticks weren't all beaten up, but maybe other parents are also conscientious enough to teach their children the rules. (I was proud they were so excited to play but they knew they had to be extra careful and really were.) It looks like a bar inside a converted fire station? Very cool atmosphere. The bathrooms had graffiti but you were encouraged to participate by adding your own artwork so long as it was family friendly (a sign even said so). As a mom I was impressed because it looked to me like the staff is good about covering up anything that isn't family friendly because although I saw lots of cover up, I saw no profanity. I'm sure some get missed once in a while, but I thought it was really fun. The waiter was fantastic and QUICK! We were so exhausted from traveling and this place really hit the spot for us! Can't wait to visit again.

We just waited 45 minutes for our order. I have absolutely no tolerance for inefficiency and lack of urgency. A takeout burger should take nowhere near 45 minutes , and if so it should be clearly stated there is an extremely long wait. I have worked in the food industry and clearly understand how to work fast when there is a line of customers waiting for orders. If you are going to be serving late night on a holiday weekend , you need to be prepared for the crowds. Thank you

Ssssslllllllloooooooowwwwwwwwww. Slowest takeout ever. Working on 40 minutes now. The Big Tasty was alright. The kids liked the nuggets and my son liked his Burger. My wife liked the Turkey Burger. Definitely not Dick's in Seattle.

Sorry, but the name of this place is false advertisement. I went to this place, because of the reviews on this website. Worst burger I've ever tasted. Tried the mushroom burger and it did not taste good at all. Waste your money on something that comes prepackaged, before eating here. Good luck.

Looking for a Burger that doesn't put a dent in your wallet and gives you an experience that you will talk about , Go to Tasty Burger. It's self seating with plenty of helpful waitstaff. There's bar seating with limited amount of seating with a few flatscreens. Off the side you can have a game of pool. There's also plenty outdoor seating and it appears they do a huge amount of takeout orders. My wife and I had a Burger that was probably one of the best and the price you can't beat. It was juicy, meaty and very flavorful. I got the butter burger with melted butter that just melted with flavor. My wife just got the regular tasty burger that is nothing like a regular burger, it lives up to its name" Tasty". There are several way you can get your burger, maybe a fried egg or or there own very carmelized onions. We got the combo plate they call,50/50 that have half fry and half onion rings or strings. Too much you won't finish. For 4.00 you can't go wrong. So 2 sodas (no refills guys) 2 burgers and large 50/50 frys and rings cost us 20+. Im a waitress guys Make sure you tip the waitstaff. They have to eat too. No wonder they are the official Burger of the Boston Red Sox , they are just wicked awesome. We live in Backbay and we now have a new favorite burger place that we can go often with our limited income and get 5 star food, service, and location. I am a Burger enthusiast and this place is in my top 3 of best ever.. You outer towners that want to experience Boston, you need to go to Tasty Burger

Came here with a friend on Sunday for lunch. I expected Tasty Burger to be something like Shake Shack (which I wasn't a huge fan of) -- my friend said it was more similar to In-N-Out, but I disagree. Where as In-N-Out is considered fast food, Tasty Burger is more of a sit down place (so a higher tier, I guess), but still not like a fancy gourmet burger restaurant. It kind of reminds me of Smashburger, actually... sorry for all these comparisons to other burger places if you haven't been to them hahaha Their burgers were surprisingly really good. Since I haven't really been impressed with many of the burgers I've tried in Boston, the juiciness of the patty (without being overly greasy like Five Guys) was a pleasant surprise. I got the big tasty, as recommended by my friend, and we shared a 50/50 fries & onion rings and it was a little food coma inducing but still manageable. Waitstaff was quick and courteous, and our food came out pretty fast. Although I"m pretty sure the 50/50 fries & onion rings weren't hot off the presses fresh, since it came in like 2 minutes and it was a little cold, it wasn't like grossly cold. (-1 star, although I can understand that they probably pre-arrange popular sides since they do get a lot of business). Burgers came shortly after, wrapped nicely in their little sleeve thing!! Prices were reasonable -- I would definitely come back! I need burgers in my life LOL

Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. I usually only ever get cheeseburgers, but I feel like the cheese takes away from the simple deliciousness of this perfectly cooked, juicy, tender burger. So just tomato & lettuce it is! Not going to lie though, I do put crispy onion strings on top of it. The fries and onion strings are like crack cocaine. My husband has tried the butta burger which he said was orgasmic. Tasty Burger is my favorite guilty pleasure. You won't be disappointed!

Blows that new Shake Shack out of the water! Plus, they have a ton of different types of burger combinations/toppings that make this place amazing. All their burgers have great meat and really nice buns. As for toppings, my favorite burgers here are: - Jalapeno Chedder: This is my go to burger, and has the right level of kick and cheesy-ness. - Gorgonzola: Solid blue cheese. I usually add mushrooms to this one :) Don't recommend: - Blue Collar: The fried burger patty is just too dry for my taste. Also: - 50/50 Fries & Onion rings: For $4, you get a giant box of fries and onion rings that enough for four people to share. Their fries and onion rings are both pretty good, though I must warn you - these are not the typical thick onion rings you think of - they're extremely thin, barely battered deep fried rings of onion. Overall, this place has amazing burgers, and is open late! Yay!

The burgers here are definitely Tasty, I would recommend the mushroom burger because it reminds me of a steak and mushroom in A1 sauce, burger style. I don't really like the fries here that much because it's soft like McDonald's fries and not crispy enough for me as they come out. Staff are pretty cool and I never received any negativity from them despite the high level of stress they probably have to deal with from customers. They have two services dine in and take out. If you want to dine in you walk to the left side of the front building and if you want takeout you order outside and wait to be called. This place is great place to meet new people however because people move mountains to come here from all over Boston. Inside they have a pool table which I don't use and a Juke box machine so if you like to hang out with friends bring them here. But more people comes with all different types of people, you have to deal with them in line too, there are people who just want to order their food and go home. People who you may deal with during peak hours include vampires(yes I said it), loud people, emotionally unstable people, drunk people, hot women(during the summer), people who hold up the line, and people like me order and go home.. The experience here is cool, in a way it keeps me coming back with little complaints.

Love it! The black bean veggie burger with spicy jalapeÃ±o cheese is the best. I'd give it 5 but once I waited 50 minutes for a burger and everyone I was with got there's in 15. The burger ended up being free, but I'd rather not make my friends wait all day.

Hey, great burgers, and they serve beer. What else can be said? And when I say great, yes, a step above your local pub. Worth a trip, certainly the go-to burger joint if you live near one. Unless you also live near a Shake Shack . . . that's just another level of burger.

Tasty Burger is my favorite fast-casual burger joint. They serve food late into the night, which is perfect after a long day/night of drinking. They also serve beer/wine (a good selection of craft stuff) if you want to keep the party going. As far as I can tell, the burgers are cooked to order. The Rise-N-Shine burger is the way to go here; perfectly done egg oozing all over the place. Rich, fatty, satly.... just downright gluttonous (especially if you wash it down with a shake). Place is always jammed, even on Sox off nights, just FYI. Oh and its wicked cheap!

Do you ever get those hankerings for a really delicious, cheap burger? Me too. And let me tell you, BK just doesn't cut it. Tasty Burger fills a need that no fast food chain, diner or gourmet restaurant can. It's tasty, locally-sourced, quality food. You read right. The ingredients at Tasty Burger are free-range, local, hormone-free, and all that other new wave-y good stuff! You can't go wrong with The Big Tasty. I'm not a pickles and onions kind of gal, but I'm a strong believer that menus are there for a reason: it's a concrete list of what the establishment does best. So if they put pickles and onions on the cheeseburger, maybe that means pickles and onions belong on that cheeseburger. They definitely let you add or subtract things to your liking - they call these "mods" (modifications)- but I say just roll with it. I've also tried the BBQ Onion Burger and the Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger, and both were delicious. If you go with two people, the 50-50 onion rings and fries are the way to go. I also love their shakes! They have beer too, usually a nice rotating selection. There's an outdoor take-out window with heaters in the winter and there are picnic tables outside. I bet this location is slammed in the summertime, as it's usually busy inside during the winter. We've either nabbed two spots at the bar or had food to-go. There's usually a wait for tables at night, so plan accordingly. There are about 10 usable parking spots (don't be fooled by the other 30 in the back...those are run by a private company and they chase after you if you park in a spot and make you pay!) There are some meters on the street that are sometimes open, but I recommend walking or riding your bike (or Hubway) because you're probably going to need to even out this meal with some exercise anyway. The one criticism I have is the "combo" vs. a la carte. You're going to get a beer when you come to Tasty Burger, so why would I get a combo that includes a 16 oz drink and fries for $3? The burgers do not come with fries, which is pretty disappointing. I wish they charged a dollar more to add the fries (and the portion could be reduced because they give a lot of fries) and forget the soda business. Oh, and it's now the "official burger of the Boston Red Sox." Can't argue with that.

What the hell happened to our favorite neighborhood chill spot? For years, my girlfriend and I lived in the Fenway area, just a few blocks from Tasty Burger. Several times a week we would go to Tasty Burger for great burgers, great service, and an amazing craft beer selection. Usually we'd sit and enjoy a couple beers and a burger, and we knew most of the staff by name (and they knew us). At the end of last summer, we moved to Pennsylvania, and our final meal in Boston was at Tasty Burger on the eve of our move. This past weekend we returned to Boston for a visit, and we wanted to visit several of our old spots. Tasty Burger was at the top of the list. Our flight landed at Logan on Thursday (9/11/14), and shortly after settling in we headed to Tasty Burger for our first meal in Boston in over a year. Tasty Burger has an amazing selection of craft beer, mostly in cans, including several from our favorite brewery, Six Point, including our favorite craft beer, Resin. We can't find Six Point where we now live, so we were really looking forward to Tasty Burger for more than just a bite to eat. The first thing we noticed is that the staff is completely new, which wasn't a complete surprise -- it's been over a year, after all, and even last summer there were new faces as several of our "regular" waitstaff were promoted to positions at other Tasty Burger locations. But what we weren't expecting was that the service would now be downright horrible. When we arrived at Tasty Burger, there were more than enough tables to choose from. The three of us -- me, my girlfriend, and a friend who we were staying with for the weekend -- sat down at a table close to the bar, and we were given menus. When the menus were placed in front of us, we asked for three waters, as we were all very thirsty. Some time later, our server returned -- without water -- to take our order. We ordered three Resin beers, and asked for frosted glasses with them (as per usual). We each ordered a burger, and we ordered a large fry to snack on, and asked for the fries first if they were ready before the burgers. Some time later -- still waiting for waters -- the bartender comes to our table with a bottle of wine and some glasses. "You ordered a bottle of Riesling?" she asks us. "No," I said, confused. "We did order some beer, Resin." "Oh, that makes much more sense," she says, and heads back to the bar. Meanwhile, our waitress is on the other side of the restaurant, looking at the bartender with a confused look on her face. "Resin," the bartender shouts to the waitress. "They wanted beer." Now, this in its own right wouldn't really be much of a bad service issue, as mistakes can happen. I mean, it's not like RESIN isn't written in 4-inch high letters on a giant chalkboard behind the bar with the rest of the beer selection or anything, or it's a beer they've had for a while. Oh wait, yes, it is, and it was one of our former "regular" waiters that first introduced us to Resin about 2 or 3 years ago. But it was the waitresses' loud reaction (and still no water on the table) that really turned me off. Instead of apologizing, she complained (loudly) that she was going to miss out on the tip she would have received on the full bottle of wine. For the record, a full bottle of Riesling (according to TB's menu) is $19. Our three cans of beer (which would actually have been at least six had it not taken SO LONG to get the first round) were $6 each, so that's $18 for the three (or $36 including a second round, which we were intending but never ordered). To give the bartender some credit, even as she was laughing at our waitress she did manage to quickly return with three cans of beer. We did have to ask for glasses though, but she brought them quickly. Some time later, our burgers arrived -- but still no water, or fries. The fries did come shortly after, but were not as fresh as we're used to from TB, and we would have liked them much earlier. Our waitress eventually returned to check on us, and we asked (again) if we could have three waters. A few minutes later, our waitress returned -- WITH ONE GLASS OF WATER FOR 3 PEOPLE. We had to ask for water (that makes at least 4 requests), and she finally returned with two more waters -- and our check. Now, at this point, we probably weren't going to order a second round of beer, but it would have been nice to have been at least asked if we were ready for the check. Oh, my beloved Tasty Burger, what happened?

Worst place ever. Yeah... walk in to see a huge group of people in the place after two. Oh dont bother to ask to be treated like human beings after two. Yeah they will seat you at 1:50 or befor but you are no longer human to them after 2 am .. overall not thatvgreat of food, and horrible service. Not coming back.

Lillian C.

I don't really understand the hype... The burgers are pretty greasy sloppily made. There are like no veggies on some of the burgers and for the ones that do have veggies, it's like they are stingy and give you one slice of not fresh lettuce. I've been here a couple of times and each time I wasn't impressed. This place has a nice outside seating area and a good amount of tables inside. I think the location is pretty good and convenient since it's in Fenway and close to all the sports bars. There's a pretty bog parking lot too so it's convenient for those who drive. I duno... I just miss In-N-out or Habit burger in SoCal (similar price points, but MUCH better) and this place doesn't compare.

I DID THE TASTY BURGER CHALLENGE! Because I was too busy stuffing my face within the 60 minute time limit, it was hard for me to actually enjoy the food. But their massive Colossal All-The-Way Burgers were pretty scary. From what I remember, it was three orders of 4 hotdog buns, barely holding onto 2 hamburger patties, wrapped around a 1/2 pound hotdog, topped with bacon, chili and cheese. THREE of those. I almost died. Taste-wise, it was not bad at all. I think there was a bit too much going on there. Perhaps I should have added in ketchup or something to add a bit of saltiness or taste to the entire thing, since it was mostly bread, meat, and cheese. The chili wasn't quite enough to coat it with crazy flavor. But overall, great experience, friendly wait staff. I finished the challenge, got my picture taken, got a free shirt, got offered free drinks but I was about to puke. I ran outside, drove a mile, then puked on the side of the road. Great times. But all for free! Thanks Tasty Burger! :P

I've only been here before Sox games in order to avoid eating my hand before the game or spending my entire life savings on food inside the park. What I can say is that their burgers are very good. I definitely liked the carmelized onions and bbq sauce. Granted I wolfed it down in about five minutes before I had to head to the gates but it certainly hit the spot more than I would've expected. Their burgers are definitely filling to say the least and cooked to my taste. I haven't had a chance to try their fries or anything but if I am going to a game I will definitely stop here versus spending double the price for half the food inside the park.

This place will ruin burgers for the rest of your life. Go there. Just be aware that it's next to Fenway and parking can be crazy and the lines can be long. But trust me, it's fucking worth it.

Well-portioned at 2am after loud banter in the Boston bars. I ordered the tasty burger, the original flavor basically. I thoroughly enjoyed it. What I also enjoyed is the customer service. The dude looked me in the eye and said thank you, and I think that's not he easiest thing to do at 205am when you're supposed to close at 2. They keep it open till around 215 they said so that's pretty neat. They have beer too so try that next time if you wanna bounce from other bars.

Good, but not even "wicked" close to, "In n out!" Lots of burgers, fries but no onion rings...not working, smh and a few beers. Up sides... Across from Fenway and one free pool table.

Just a basic burger that anyone could make at home. Wasn't particularly fond of the dry overcooked meat. It's a cool little spot, so I'll give it that, but I'll pass next time.

It pains me to write this review, but abusive treatment requires it. I've been to this Tasty Burger location a few times and have always enjoyed their burgers and their shakes. In fact, I really love their burgers! Unfortunately, the most recent time I attended, which was indeed late at night, the wait staff rudely kicked everyone out immediately after paying our checks. I understand it was late at night and I understand that they could "lose their license" (in the words of our waiter). But the way you kick people out is with politeness, not open hostility. My group wasn't lolly-gagging, we were just trying to get our coats to go into sub 10 degree weather. Luckily, there are better options in the area. Give BurgerFi a try or go to Boston Burger Co. With so many other options, there's no need to take discourteous behavior. The reason why this isn't a one star review is solely because they do have good food.

Tasty burger is absolutely great. They have a prime location near Fenway Park and the House of Blues. The prices are extremely reasonable and the ambience is fun and laid back. I loved the open front of the building which made our dinner even more enjoyable since it was such a nice night. They offer a wide array of creative burger and hot dog combinations. Although everything seemed delicious, I wasn't feeling too adventurous so I ordered a regular cheeseburger with Tasty sauce. The restaurant was pretty busy, but not overwhelming, we got a table right away. When my burger came out it didn't have the Tasty sauce on it (I had to try it since it's their staple). I asked for the side of sauce,(25c charge), but I realized when our waiter left we still had no silver wear. At that point I had to use a fry to apply the sauce to my burger, classy. The food itself was great. Very 50's style burger with a Five Guys meets In-n-Out vibe with a very creative twist. Plus unlike these burger joints, Tasty Burger has a full bar with an extensive beer list. I will definitely be back, I just hope the servers will be a bit more attentive.

Dawn O.

Nice tasty burgers. This is better than Five Guys because they serve beer! Plus, it has a happening atmosphere. It gets packed if there is a game at Fenway. These burgers are juicy and made to order. They have several different topped burgers to choose from and they run a special limited burger. Tons of toppings to choose from if you want to put your own creation together. Tasty fries and onion strings. Tasty thick shakes.

Mincho K.

The three stars are for the service. I have been served with a great friendly attitude, but this I guess depends on the day. However the food was not I was expecting. I didn't like that the bread is the same as the one from McDonald's the onion rings was good but too salty for companion. The cheese fries was nothing special. If you are looking for a good burger may be you should go to some artisanal place where you can find good burgers because the one from tasty well they are kinda medium-)

Michelle A.

Highly recommend you get the 50/50 onion rings and french fries. I LOVE onion strings. You know the skinny onion rings. OMG! As a treat after touring Fenway Park we went to Tasty Burger. I've been here before but my little buddy hasn't. We ate every bit of what we ordered. Kinda messy from the proprietary Tasty Sauce but worth the effort. Napkins didn't really do the job of cleanup too well. I could of used a wet nap. Also recommend putting a few more tables out there for the take out people. We had to share a table with a nice mom and her two sons. Not everyone will be as accommodating as she was. Next time I go I will order the BUTTA BURGER! PRO- They actually serve free tap water if you ask for it.

Steve L.

Burgers at 2am - doesn't matter how they taste. Stopped by at 1:30am after a solid night at the bars, and was surprised to see a parking lot/seating area full of people noshing on burgers. Got the eponymous tasty burger. I can see the In-N-Out comparisons, if In-N-Out were saltier, cooler, and altogether less harmonious in flavor. Incidentally, In-N-Out is open until 1am or so on certain nights - but then the you'd have to be in California! Overall, reasonable burger, and at 2am, the $5 charge for a 1/3 pound burger that tastes fine is pretty respectable. Haven't yet slept on the late night food bolus, but I imagine it'll be all water under the bridge compared to the next-day gastrointestinal effects of beer. Go medium on the burger - the meat's not good enough for rare to shine.

I found out about this place on line while trying to find some new places to eat for our trip planned to Boston. The menu looked awesome and we had tickets to a Red Sox game so Tasty Burger was immediately bookmarked. After the game we weren't really sure which way to head, luckily there were a few MA State Police watching the Celtics game outside of a bar, yes they were on duty. They were a great help and gave us perfect directions, so you know they probably eat there all the time. We had no idea there was an inside restaurant until after we ordered from the outside window, but that's okay because they closed up the bar soon after we got there. We got a Bacon Cheeseburger and soda and ate at the picnic tables in the cool night air. It was a perfect after game treat, I could imagine how good it is after a night at the bar too. A little greasy, a little messy, and a lot yummy. I wish we had time to go back for another visit, hopefully on our next visit to Boston.

My hotel concierge pointed me towards Tasty Burger when I asked about a place to grab a quick bite before a Yankees/Red Sox game and I am SO glad he did. This place rocks! For $17 (including tip) I had a delicious cheeseburger, a Bengali Tiger IPA and some entertaining banter (read: talking smack) with the staff. The service was speedy and friendly, and the fun diner-meets-dive-bar atmosphere got me geared up up for the game. Given that I literally could have thrown a baseball and hit Fenway from their parking lot (and I don't exactly have a gun for an arm), the prices were a pleasant surprise.

Tony N.

Damn...these burgers are tasty! It's the perfect combination of home cooked burgers and take out. Tons of options for toppings too. The fries are decent but the fried onions are some of the worst I have ever had. Great beer selection. Over 40 cans!!!! Always a place to sit and they have a take out window too. Prices are good, not cheap but not expensive either. Service is spotty but friendly. A fun place to hang out and have one of the best burgers in town. One last thing....There will be a night when you have had one too many beers. You will enjoy a big tasty. You will have a few more beers. You will see the supreme dog on the menu. You will want to order it. Stop. Drop. Roll the f$@k out of there. It's amazing yes but it is not for you. Not now. Come back another day on an empty stomach. Sober.

I'd say Tasty Burger gives a vibe of an upscale burger eating environment but with really cheap prices. The place is nicely done with modern, pop-art ish burger-related (of course) art pieces. It's a colorful place. And it's very clean. So before I came, I already checked out the menu and was deciding between a Kahuna burger or a Hubba. I went with the Hubba, which is a burger with chili and spicy cheese sauce. My friend ordered a JalapeÃ±o burger. The Hubba is a hot mess. It's wrapped up nicely when they give it to you but once you open it, oh my, you're in for some messy eating. Thank god for the red tray to catch all the chili, cheese dripping madness. The Hubba was satisfying, but I would have enjoyed more chill in it. It was more cheesy than anything else. If you want a cleaner but still spicy burger, I'd go with the jalapeÃ±o. IT'S SPICY!! I think everything's spicy but this time, even my friend who's used to Korean spices thinks so. So BEWARE. If you aren't a fan of red meat, you might want to ask them to cook it more well done. Our waiter informed us all patties are cooked to medium. It was slightly redder than I expected but I like red meat so I didn't mind. We also shared a 50/50 with is a tray of fries and onion rings. Both had a nice crisp to them, but the fries were a bit too salty. The onion rings were really good though and their sweetness very apparent. I'm staying in Boston over the summer. I'm definitely coming back to try the Kahuna burger and sitting in their outdoor seating area.

Lizzy S.

I really like their take on onion 'rings' and the burgers are great too! They also have a pretty great beer selection for place that has more than 1 location. I've only had the spicy jalapeÃ±o burger, but that alone has convinced me to come back here for another bite of their flavorful, succulent burgers!!

Lauren E.

In my previous review, I raved about Tasty Burger. I went last night. Burgers are good, but the after effects are not. My burger was way too greasy and left my stomach feeling uncomfortable. Not to mention service here is very spotty. Because we seat ourselves, unless someone sees you come in, you're going to wait 10 minutes for a menu. We then waited a while for them to take our order. One thing that annoyed me was someone who obviously worked there kept wandering around the restaurant, going in and out and standing by the door looking outside. Instead of helping out by taking orders, there was one waiter to service the entire restaurant. Management really needs to step its game up with quality of service.

Stayed in Boston for a week on business. Tasty burger is right across the street from our staff apartment in Kenmore Square. I think I went like 4 or 5 times in the course of the 7 days that I was actually there. Even if it was for a late night snack. Every time I went, I went with the Spicy Chicken sandwich with extra pickles, an order of fries, and a chocolate shake. Amazing stuff. Sometimes you will have to wait in a line.. Especially if you go late at night. Trust me, Tasty Burger is worth the wait! Friendly service too! Wish there was one of these in California....

After eating different thick patty gourmet burgers, Tasty Burger is a great alternative. I had a cheeseburger with fries. I loved the thin patty, very 1950s style. It's extra special since not many places do thin patties nowadays. The bun was great as well. The fries were crispy and well seasoned. The staff was pretty friendly and the food came out quickly.

Haley M.

I have always had decent visits to Tasty Burger in the fenway. They always come through for those late night hunger pains. My only complaint is that sometimes the staff is not the happiest but I'm sure they have their fair share of drunk people to deal with at those late night times and it may leave a bad taste in their mouths when dealing with their other customers.

Conor G.

Definitely a great spot to eat at any time. The 50/50 is a must and the specials are interesting at the least. Once you become a regular it's fun to venture out and try some of the burgers the fans submit. Great service, great price, great food. A favorite.

ROB L.

The burger was all right. I think I've mentioned it before, but when ordering a burger, I expect the beef to make up a majority of the burger. The burger was really nothing special. I'd have much rather had two or three Five Guys burgers. Robert had a kids meal that came with a regular sized hot dog and small fries. He devoured the fries and a few bites of the hot dog, but that was it. Surprisingly, they carried some 21 Amendment beer on tap! Service was good, everyone was nice to us and very helpful with making sure Robert was well cared for - plenty of napkins.

A good fast food style burger. Simple combinations of ingredients to generate good simple tastes. Expensive for the price. Beer selection is good

Hannah M.

We ordered takeout, so read review with that in mind... Zum Zum hot dogs were good, although a little skimpy on the grain mustard. Sauerkraut was great! Fries were lukewarm, cheese sauce was pretty gross (I could taste flour in it, it was cold, gelatinous and mealy) and definitely not worth $2. Probably a better eat-in than takeout place, but when you're cooped up in the hospital and want a hot dog....

I'm still laughing about my most recent trip to tasty burger. It's not everyday that your friend gets so upset with the service that she throws her soda across the parking lot. To start off, two friends arrived at the restaurant beforehand and got in line for takeout. Me and three other friends came shortly after and cut the few people that were in line behind them so we could talk. We thought we were eating inside and getting out of line. We didn't. The couple behind us was annoyed (I would be too) so we let them go ahead. Then the havoc began. We all ordered right after each other, but the orders came out randomly. After waiting 15 mins, I got my burger, but got it ahead of the couple I let go ahead of me. Theirs came out another 15 mins later and they were clearly pissed. They soon stopped taking more orders and most of my group's orders were ready out of order over the next 30 mins (remember this is supposedly the fast take-out window). There were other groups who experienced the same issue. After 50 minutes, my friend, the first to order, went up to the window and demanded her food. All of us had been done eating for a while at this point. The worker didn't seem to care and she got a refund. Extremely angry and hungry, she threw her drink and screamed. The manager came out, apologized, and offered to get her a meal for free, which she accepted. We then waited another 15 mins for it to come out, even though others, who had ordered after her, were still getting their meals. He had promised he'd get it right away, but we still waited way too long. I understand that restaurants can get busy, but when you have such a limited menu, how can it take you so long to get someone their order?? How does it make sense to give a burger to the person who ordered 15 mins ago when the person who ordered 50 mins ago is still waiting?!? They're all burgers, so next one off the grill is for the one who's been waiting?? I still don't get what their issue was. Anyway, I did enjoy my burger, so that's why I'm giving it 3 stars.

Came in to meet friends before a Yankees/Sox game. We love the burgers. There was a long wait stretching out to boylston and the staff was incredibly calm. The manager made a spot for us at the bar and helped us get on the list. Our friends ended up not showing up in time, but he managed to find us a table. He also printed out our tickets that our friends were bringing. Thank you for turning a bad experience into a good night!!

try to say something bad about this place, I dare you! they have great food, great beers, and service is fast and easy. Finally a place that is not trying to be anything other than what it is.

I love BURGERS. Juicy, meaty, tasty, ketchupy, good meat to bun ratio. Tasty Burger reminds me of a burger shack and well, that is precisely what it is. Fenway Park is in the back and a little parking lot is in the front. We had a cheap meal for under 15 bucks (burger, fries, soda) and I was full. I didn't love it though, I am spolied because my heart belongs to Flat Patties for their amazing little burgers. I also am spoiled because my high end burger at Garden at the Cellar is basically my best friend. Tasty Burger was not bad, but not awesome. Three stars, A-OK and that is not a bad rating. Would I go back? Perhaps. But, I'll stick with my other beloved burger places instead.

Stopped in last night after a show at the Sinclair, it was 1:30 am and busy. Gabriel got us seated quickly and our server got our order and delivered our food in a flash. The food was freshly made and as always wonderful. You expect service to be good, the order to be right and the food to be delicious when you go out to eat, but to have all three at that hour of the morning when the place is full shows that they are doing something right.

+1 - Open at 1am after arriving on a late night flight to Boston. +1 - Close to Fenway, quickly made, interesting menu items. The fries are probably the worst I have ever had. 'Deep Fried Oil' is what my friends and I called them. The burger also was smal

I really, really want to love Tasty Burger. And for a long time, I did. Great food, reasonable prices, and good service. But the experience I had on my 21st birthday left a bitter taste in my mouth and I haven't been able to bring myself to go back since. I wanted to go out and have a good time I wouldn't remember, but an 8 am lab the next morning and exam the afternoon after my birthday ensured I'd have to do something a little more low key. So Tasty Burger for beers it was. It was busy, so we sat at the bar. I ordered my first legal drink and the bartender stated at my license for a long time. He finally handed it back to me and very unenthusiastically wished me a happy birthday. We ordered our food - no complaints there, came out fast and hot, just the way we ordered it. My two friends had agreed to split the check for my dinner, but halfway though dinner one of them realized she forgot her wallet. No big deal, we're all friends here, I can pay for our food and you can pay me back later, right? Well when we got the check, the bartender says to my friends "oh, you're not even going to buy your friend dinner on her birthday? Some friends you are." Wow. Just...wow. First of all, there is no law that says I don't pay on my birthday. Second of all, it's not your place to comment on who pays and the way you said it was downright rude. I was so appalled and upset I haven't been able to go back since.

This message is long overdue! This is a review of their excellent customer service! A year ago the night my sister had just given birth to my niece I called up and tried to place an order for some sandwiches. She had the biggest craving and I was originally told that they didn't do call ahead. When I explained the situation I was immediately told that they would fill my order! When I got there to get my order I was told it was on the house and congratulations to my sister! My sister and brother-in-law enjoyed every bite of their tasty burgers at Brigham & Women's Hospital on Sat. May 26th! Thanks for being so kind!

Is it really possible to find some tasty hamburgers in Boston at a good price without going to McDonald's, Burger King or Wendy's? I think so. If I had to use one word to describe the food at this place, it would probably be "tasty". Yes, the hamburgers are actually tasty. So the name of this place actually means what it says. The first time I came here, I got a tasty Mushroom Burger, which has mushrooms, Swiss cheese and A1 Steak Sauce. The burger meat was really tasty, good, juicy, flavorful, chewy and tender. The cheese and the steak sauce, combined with the soft chewiness of the bun, made it a really tasty hamburger. The hamburger sandwich itself is not really big, probably about the size of a Quarter Pounder from your local McDonald's. However, the hamburgers they serve are probably 5 times tastier than McDonald's, and they are probably competitive with Five Guys Burgers and Fries Hamburgers in terms of tastiness. 2-3 tasty hamburgers from this place should satisfy a hunger craving. They do a really tasty and good job with their side dishes. Their onion rings are not a bad choice, they are nice and thin, with a good amount of crispiness. They are fairly tasty and addicting to eat. A little seasoning and they are probably tastier. As for the French Fries, they are decently tasty, but they are even tastier if you get sausage gravy doused on top. This warm, gooey, and tasty sauce, combined with the tasty sausage pieces, along with the crispiness of the fries made it a really tasty side dish and also an addicting side dish to eat. It's messy to eat, so we used some forks. We felt fairly heavy after eating a lot of these fries, so it was a good idea to walk a good distance afterwards. One major disadvantage this place has is that the soda drinks are kind of expensive ($2), and they serve them in plastic bottles rather than from the fountain tap. I think that is a little bit strange. Environment is really casual, with a small bar inside to get some beer, and a billiards table for some fun. This place is at a really good location, near Fenway Park, so I think this place can get really crowded whenever a baseball game or a rare concert occurs. It's also open until 2:00 AM, so it's still a good choice after a night out in the city, or if you are still awake at 1:30 in the morning, and you suddenly get the "munchies" feeling (a sudden hunger feeling after you did something fun and exciting). There's parking, so you can actually drive here. Overall, this is a really good choice to get some tasty hamburgers or some really tasty fries with sausage gravy. Like I said before in my previous reviews regarding tasty and potentially unhealthy places to eat at, I would not eat here often, unless I have an intense exercise routine before or a few hours after.

I love this place! Great burgers for just about what you would play across the street at bk for one of their meals. Unfortunately the sides are sorta hit or miss, sometimes they're amazing, sometimes they're gross and soggy. The onion rings are more like limp slightly fried onions than anything truly ring like, don't think I'll order them again. I haven't tried any of their chicken items yet, but the hot dogs are pretty solid and that range of burgers is truly impressive, so far I like the Hubba burger best. I've only eaten in once, I dislike the noise level, it's just a bar type atmosphere, but I like the takeaway window, as long as you don't go after like midnight it moves pretty fast. Gotta say I love the late hours as a college student!

An evening of torrential downpour left us craving local food, combined with a desire for burgers we found ourselves at Tasty Burger battling the Red Sox crowd. Ok, it wasn't really that busy, ordering barely took 2-3 minutes, and our order was out in about 5. My taste buds were seriously confused as to how this burger was cooked. This is super duper important to know, because sometimes you aren't craving the smoky goodness of charcoal, or the super greasiness of a flat iron grill, or simplicity of a gas grill. I have a horrible urge to call them right now and find out, because to be honest I am a bit confused. I couldn't smell anything outside the two times I walked by, so I'm thinking its not made on a charcoal grill. However, it has this smokey flavor that makes me think otherwise. I think the investigation is still open on this one. Besides flavor, a burger needs to have grease, lots of natural grease. Unfortunately, this is where I think things were a little wrong, and maybe it was our fault. We order well done, as we don't like medium. When we got the burger, the outside was somewhat charred and almost tasted burned. I'm not sure if it was the jalapeno cheese that had a super smoky flavor, or if it was the burger because it was semi burned. I will mention however, that the jalapeno cheese was a very cool addition, if the burger patty is made right, this place would easily be 5+ stars for having a great burger at a great price. You can't have burgers without fries, and Tasty Burger's fries single handedly saved them. When we received them they were piping hot and fresh, salted to perfection. In fact, if there is anything I'm craving from Tasty Burger, its their fries. Absolutely simple, amazing, and fresh. I think I've rambled on for long enough now. I will definitely be coming back, because I think there is a lot of promise here. Tempted to get the sack of burgers, if they can be done right, when my fiancee's brother or my brother comes. We'll destroy them.

I've been wanting to try tasty burger for a while so I decided to place an order yesterday before leaving work and grab it omw to my car. Unfortunately I wasn't in the mood for a burger so I got the buffalo chicken sandwich for myself and my mom is a huge burger fan so I got her a bacon cheeseburger. I also ordered the 50/50. Chicken sandwich was good nothing special. Fires and onion rings were like crack (not that I know how crack is). I was in heaven eating those things. Once I got to my mom's house and surprised her with a "tasty burger" she said it was very good but nothing compared to Fuddruckers. I guess I'll be the judge of that when I try one for myself. Service was very slow. I was disappointed which is why they get three stars. I would've given 4 for the fries and rings alone but it was cold and that little heated lamp thingy wasn't doing the job. If you tell me my food will be ready in 10 minutes and I order it at 5pm I don't expect to still be standing at the window at 5:20.

Tasty Burger really sealed the deal for me. For years as a misguided young asshole I'd always proudly preferred giant thick burgers like you get a Irish pubs, but over the years I've found that unless the place does it just right, you're looking at a half a pound of dryness. Part of that is my own fault too because with the increasing incidence of e-coli outbreaks I've moved from medium rare to medium for my burgers, so unless the meat's super fatty... well... half a pound of dryness. Tasty Burger is one of these fast-foodish kind of burger places that cooks thin patties on a griddle... yeah those little buggers are just sitting there bubbling away in their own fat, the rascals! ... and so when I ate there (and seriously I woofed mine down in like 30 seconds) I was like "you know what, I'm now a skinny patty on the griddle burger guy, hands down!" So thanks for opening my eyes, Tasty Burger!

Man, I wish this was open when I was in college. This would have been a regular late night drunken stop for me. Beer and burgers sounds perfect after a night on the town. Anyway, came in with some coworkers for lunch. If you want a healthy meal, do not come here. They offer only burgers, dogs and fries. No veggie burgers, no turkey burgers. It's beef or nothing. All of the burgers looked really good, but I opted for a hot dog, mysteriously. The bun was pretty crappy, but the dog itself was delicious topped with caramelized onions and cheddar cheese. I got a "junior" dog and it was still super filling. We ordered a basket of fries for the table and it was more than enough to feed four people (if you're not ridiculously hungry). The atmosphere is really casual and well decorated. By the way, they call the hot dogs "shafts" here so ordering was absolutely hilarious. Even the waitress laughed.

"Hamburger! The cornerstone of a nutritious breakfast.." That's if breakfast is at 1AM or for Sunday brunch. The meal I had was not nutritious, but boy was it tasty! Tasty Burger falls into that burger joint category of paying for a better tasting/quality burger than McD's and BK (i.e. 5 Guys, 5 Napkins, UBurger). I've only been to 5 guys, and for me it wasn't worth it. Tasty Burger was worth it. I had the the double Big Kahuna. I like Pulp Fiction. I like pineapple. The burger was greasy, flame broiled, with a pinkish center, and big slice of red onion and pineapple, with bbq sauce. I typically add a ton of ketchup to my burgers to balance out the beef taste, but I didn't need to do this with the Big Kahuna. I like the Big Kahuna. I had the 50/50 fries and onion rings. I'd stick with the onion rings only next time, not because the fries were bad (they were fine), but the onion rings had a buttery/flaky battering which I loved. They also serve beer by the glass or pitcher, and were serving Kona stout beer, loved it! I'm definitely a fan!

Boston is a city where route 99 gets paved twice in a year. How much does that even cost??? Dude, let me just tell you if I got a stimulus check I'd spend a goodly amount of it in here.

Was not impressed with this place at all.. Don't know which was worse the food or the service.. if I had to choose though probably the service. I love going out for a good burger in Boston as there are a number of places that serve pretty decent burgers. Swung by here last night with a couple of my friends and right from the start something was off. Servers looked kind of annoyed with my table, really just dropped our waters down, and we waited a little too long for the food to come out. I went with my staple, a bacon cheeseburger which turned out to be extremely lackluster. The meat was really salty and I wasn't a fan of the bun or the cheese. Tasted like something from burger king at a premium price. All I'm asking is how can you mess up a bacon cheeseburger... what The sides aren't anything to rave about & I even tried some of my friend's chips & dip (nachos?) platter.. Chips kept breaking halfway so there really was no point. If that were all I probably would have rated this place closer to 2/3 stars (on a generous day) but when we tried to pay, the server gave such an attitude with the way we were trying to split the bill.. Cash first & then card? Not really that difficult to do but okay.. If you want a decent burger go to Uburger in Kenmore and if you want some GOOD sides (fries/onion rings) check out Yardhouse like a block down. Definitely won't be coming back!

I will return another time after intoxication from local bars. I was excited to pass Tasty as others raved. Parking didn't appear awful to those who drive, street can be hit or miss and private lot is small. There's a big parking lot next door I have no idea about, though I'm sure you have to pay. Prices were good but do not look for healthy item choices here. Quite a variety of burgers and hot dogs, only really weak onion rings. Chain burger joint, it is, though cool atmosphere with inspirational art.

Greasy delicious burgers with toppings for under $6. Basket of fries and onion rings costing $4. Serving up all the way hot dogs smothered in chili and cheese.Thick creamy milk shakes $4. All while serving alcohol and open till 2AM. Yes, you have stopped my heart dead in its tracks Tasty Burger. I don't quite know if that is from a heart attack or my love of their food, but this makes for a great late night or pre/post game place to grab a bite. However, minus one star for the limited selection of beer. I hate being teased like that.

Great selection of ways to take a few days off your life! I'm not a fan of the flat patties... but when you deep fry them, or smother them in blue cheese or cheddar cheese .... yeah you get the idea. the shakes are actually really good here. And I love the outdoor seating.

Tasty burger, great fries, awfully disorganized crew during a busy Monday. It took over 30 minutes to get my order, and I had to approach them about it; otherwise, my order would have slipped through the cracks. Tastes great, though.

My dinner group recently ate at Tasty Burger, and gave it 3.5 stars each for food, decor, service and overall (rounded up to 4 on here), in summary: Food was considered to be universally good. "Burgers were fantastic, messy, and artery-clogging." However, some found the music to be a highlight as they heard their "favorite song from the fourth grade: Bay City Rollers' Saturday Night." Despite the multiple reports of indigestion, pretty much every gave consistent marks in all areas. Most people said they would return for other visits to try more food. Individual diner comments follow: - "I'm a total sucker for dive restaurants with good food. I thought this place stood out because they know what they do well and stick with it. The interior was ok, but generic. The loud jukebox was the saving grace. I'd go back in a minute, though I'm fairly certain my heart will stop if I do." - "I'm still digesting the Blue Collar Burger (a double, batter-fried, with cheese)...it was good, but I paid for it all weekend. The highlight was hearing my favourite song from the 4th grade, the Bay City Rollers "Saturday Night"." - "A loud, fun, cheap and welcoming place that knows what it is: a burger joint. No pretensions at anything more. The burgers are fantastic, messy and yes, artery-glogging. The onion strings are perfectly done. Service was friendly and helpful, and the cozy alove near the pool table was just right for our group of 10. My only issue is some of the more messy burgers need a knife and fork and they are served in paper-lined basket. Trust me, ask for a plate instead." - "The gorgonzola burger was excellent. I would certainly head back to try others. The service was friendly and the food and drinks came promptly." - "No more ordering veggie burgers at burger joints for me. This one was salty and crusty, and I drooled as I watched everyone around me with grease flowing down their chins. I liked the variety of burgers, and the 'what you see is what you' get vibe. I liked our waiter, who also seemed to be an Air Supply fan, and the picnic tables outside." - "This is a classic home-town burger joint. The food is tasty (someone pass me a statin). The ambiance is also classic burger joint - definitely a place to hit before a sox game." - "A fun place to just hang with people. A little loud to be able to talk to one another but by no means a bad experience. And cheap enough for me to be able to buy two different things. Very nice."

The best burgers I've had in my whole life. It's one of my favorite spots in Boston. My best friend (who doesn't usually like burgers) called me at midnight one night because he HAD to tell me about the most amazing burger he ever ate. So, when I went the next weekend I had extremely high expectations and was still blown away. The burgers are juicy and affordable and they even have milkshakes! They also have free trivia on Monday nights! There's no better way to spend your Monday night.

Great staff, food, and experience. I love the table set up on the far wall adjacent to the red hot pool table.

Home now has competition, because Im feeling it here.

Disclaimer: I came for the hot dog, and this review is based on the dog I was served. I really like hot dogs, I came here doing research for my Yelp Hot Dogs list. My son got a burger and he LOVED it, maybe this would be a four star review if I had ordered a burger. The hot dog was just OK. I'm pretty sure it was grilled, but there was only scant evidence of this on the dog. The bun felt as if it had been toasted, and it was a little warm, but again there were no visible signs of it being toasted. The flavor of the grilling did not make it to the dog. The dogs were big and it was good meat, the buns were big quality stuff, there is some potential here, but there is no love going into the dogs. Next time I'll order a burger, my son and I suggest you do the same.

I hope the manager reads this since he was standing right there messing with the satellite while this guy was being the worst bartender in Boston. I ordered a pint of Notch. It was forgotten. I got the attention of the mgr after about 6 or 7 mins. The bartender then noticed and hopped on it. He poured a pint of Longtrail, right in front of me, I asked 'is this Notch', he said yes. I left. I used to love this place. What happened to Natasha and Amy? Business lunch people don't have time to F around on a weekday. We're not going to a ballgame. I'll try back in a few weeks.

This place is terrible and is just another ode to the lack of a great burger in Boston. I am unsure why bostonians are not as passionate about food as in other major cities but they really just don't care. Giving this place a 5 for the rubbery premade patties, with boring and flat buns and store bought cheeses with microwaved bacon is a testament to the lack of accuracy of yelp in this particular city.

After dropping by the BIDC hospital in the Longwood medical area, we came here with our son, a recent Northeastern graduate, for a quick lunch before heading to the airport. The service was quick and the food was very good for a burger place. We ordered burgers and the 50/50 fries/onion ring mix. All of us prefered the onion "strings". We liked that fact that we could order the burgers medium and they were still pink and juicy inside! (Our son likes it because it's open late after hockey practice/games and has good, reasonbly priced food.)

Okay, i'm not sure how serious people should take this review. I found myself at Tasty Burger around 2:30 am after a night out with friends, we don't need to go into details. I ordered a cheeseburger and regular fries. Fries were nice and hot with just the right amount of salt and the burger was juicy and good to the last bite. The line was long and there was quite a bit of waiting time, but I can see why. Definitely a great late night snack post cocktails! Staff was super friendly and I'm sure its not always easy as people who have to wait can become quite ignorant. Prices were good and I love that you can walk up, order, and walk away with hot tasty food! Tasty Burger - until next time!

It's good for a cheap, quick burger before the game or if you're a broke ass college student, like myself. They have a couple of deals where you can get a beer with your burger which is nice and the milkshakes are pretty good. Usually, the staff is pretty nice and almost always fast. I have seen them be pretty rude when they're really busy. They definitely don't go out of the way for guests, but I can't really blame them. You get what you pay for and if all you're paying for is a $6 burger and a couple of PBR's then it's really not fair for customers to expect service to exceed their bill amount.

The perfect place to go to after a night out. It's open to late and the burgers just hit the spot. I had the burger with jalapeno and it was great. I go with a bunch of friends after going to a club and we're never disappointed. The bread is great, the meat is tasty and the cheese is always melting and delicious. Easy parking and good location as well, easy to access and pretty central. The place is packed with customers after a red sox game, so the ambience is always lively. One of the better places in Boston. Good music too.

I've been here twice now. The first time I had the chili burger and cheese fries and they were awesome! The second time I was feeling healthy and got the salad which was supremely lame, but I should have seen that one coming. The menu is amazing but def not a place to go if youre feeling healthy. Also had the green monster milk shake last time I went and that was great too. The staff is really nice and attentive and trivia here is fun. Also the bar area is cute. Def will keep coming back.

"mmmmm....That is, a tasty burger!" This place is dope! The food is inexpensive and rather, tasty. Go figure. All the condiments you could ask are available at each table. You can indulge in some of their creative burgers or just get a basic burger and you'll be equally satisfied. Give the nitro nuggets a try if you're in the mood for some chicken. I'm a chocolate milk shake fan, but the green monster shake is where it's at. As an added bonus they have a juke box and you can play pool for free. What's not to love? Lastly, it's a burger place, it's probably best to go elsewhere for vegetarian food.

Seriously, they have a Bad Mother Fucker on one wall ( Samuel L Motherfucking Jackson) and a Bad Mother Fucker on another wall (John Motherfucking Belushi). That's worth 3 stars alone right there. So, I kinda have a bit of a beef with these guys (pardon the pun). I've always wanted to do a no-frills kind of joint in an old garage. I know, I'm not the first guy to think of it, but just about everything these folks do is exactly the kind of place I wanted to run. That being said, they do a pretty damn good job of running this joint and it hits the spot. The burgers are fast-food fare done right. Truly tasty, and in front of you before you can finish your first beer. Speaking of beers, they have a great selection, and although the prices definitely reflect the location, they aren't unreasonable. I've tried 4 or 5 of their various burgers and burger specials, and they're all good, but I tend to gravitate towards the classic: bacon cheeseburger. The bacon is crisp, the patty is juicy, and it all works nicely. The fries are seriously good shoestrings, and you can pair them with onion rings if you're so inclined. I used to get the 50/50, but I really dig the fries and tend to split a basket with my lady friend. Some other standouts are the gorgonzola, the jalapeÃ±o, and the Kahuna burger. The chips and dip are great, when you don't feel like fries, and the dogs all look pretty stellar as well. The bar staff ranges from really friendly and cool to stoned/I don't give a fuck, but I've never once had bad service here.

Okay, I know that there's a huge West Coast/East Coast rivalry between In N Out & Five Guys (and then there's the NYC cult favorite, Shake Shack)....but where does Tasty Burger fit in?! I have to say I really liked it. I basically eat In N out everyday when I'm home in California and I made Shake Shack a second home in when I interned in NYC aaaannnd I've been to Five Guys like...twice (clearly not a favorite of mine) so I have a pretty good handle on the competition and Tasty Burger is up there. Anyways, my thoughts: The service is great! The staff is nice, the food comes out quickly and I'm pretty sure they've hired a few part-time magicians because I never once saw someone fill my water glass but---voila---it was always full. Sneaky. The burgers are AWESOME. I know this sounds kind of weird but the bun is literally like those $400 pillows you fall in love with at Bed Bath & Beyond but could never afford in this lifetime. So soft and plush. The meat is cooked PERFECTLY every single time and their specialty burgers have amazing flavor. My favorite is the Spicy JalapeÃ±o but I'm sure I'll add a few more to that list next time I go. The only reason I couldn't give this place 5 stars is because they use that cheese that is reminiscent of melted plastic. It might not actually be the cheap stuff but....it sorta tastes and has the consistency of it so I can only take a few bites of the Cheese Fries until my body protests. Overall, great experience though!

This place is so good. These burgers are so...tasty. Having spent many years in California, I developed a love affair with In-N-Out. Tasty Burger is the closest thing to In-N-Out in Boston, with a similar kind of thin beef patties, in a neat little package. I've tried the blue collar burger here, which is a deep fried burger patty with blue cheese, and though it probably shaved years off of my life, it was so delicious. The buffalo chicken sandwich was also very good. As other Yelpers have recommended, the onion strings are quite good, and Tasty Burger is also one of the cheaper places in the area for a pitcher of beer, if you're just looking to knock down a few beers with friends.

Post-Sox game. Had a regular hamburger & fries, with a draft beer. I think it's better than Shake Shack and Flat Patties. The patty has more texture and flavor. The bun has a bit for heft and doesn't fall apart, which is what happens at the other two places. Have never had the fries at Flat Patties, but Tasty's were definitely better than Shake Shack's. Worth the detour or a stop before/after a Sox game.

My friend Alyson makes better burgers at home, but this place is packed and has got sports, Top Chef, and cartoons on the TV screens + great music (Elvis, Michael Jackson). Great place to dine solo at the bar. Bathroom was clean but cold (and decorated--wal art). All in all, a good experience.

Their burgers are good but nothing special. They have a ton of choices, and the daily special that they post on Facebook is always really creative (how does a burger topped with peanut butter, chocolate covered bacon, and fried plantains sound?) so I can't complain too much. And I got a tasty burger (ha, ha) with chili, spicy cheese sauce, and sweet onion, and a chocolate milkshake for ten dollars. So if it's 1 in the morning and you're looking for a decent burger and beer, this is your spot. If you're looking for the best burger in town, go home, go to bed, and go to Radius for their burger tomorrow.

Getting into Boston around 1pm, my Aussie visitor looks at me to say "I'm starving. I'd be really keen on having something American. How about a burger? But somewhere different; I don't want Maccas" Enter: Tasty Burger Alright, so this was a no brainer because I'm fairly sure if I fell down my front steps I would end up in the Tasty Burger parking lot, but I still think it fit the bill perfectly. The awesome decor, decent beer selection, great waitstaff that was attentive when we wanted something but left us to chat for a while, and delicious food left a great impression on my friend. She laughed as she ate her first American meal but agreed that this place was exactly what she was looking for. After two burgers, a split order of 50/50 that we could barely even make it through, a beer, and a huge milkshake we left entirely too full. And the bill was less than $25.

I have to give the front line staff major kudos for dealing with the massive line of unintelligent drunks that come pouring into this place once the bars start to close. While the service is mediocre after the midnight hour, for which I can not blame anyone (I'd be fired within minutes for being nasty and punching someone who comes to my window), the fact that my friend and I were given burgers that were completely pink inside is pretty inexcusable. Luckily, the rawness of the burgers was made up for with the decent prices (a burger is around $5), delicious toppings, and well-cooked fries. Will I go here again? Of course! You can eat outside, people watch, eventually get something that's edible and much better quality than other burger places that are open late, and the decor rocks. It's a cool place, but please, cook the burgers just a touch more.

Came here after one of my bowling league games. Man, these burgers really ARE tasty. I love truth in advertising. Srsly though, this place is far better than Five Guys as far as I'm concerned. The burger was perfectly cooked, none of my condiments/toppings went shooting out of the back of the burger when I took a bite, and the onion rings - THE ONION RINGS - are amazing. They were the perfect combination of crispy/salty and I probably ate far too many of them but that's okay because bowling counts as exercise, right?

Tasty B is worth going back to but not for the most amazing burger ever, because it's not there to be found. I'm givin'em... 1 star for service The wait staff and servers were cool. Not the friendliest folks on the planet (this is Boston after all) but really chill, polite, and service oriented (unexpected for a burger joint). 1 star for options - walk, drive, eat-in, take-out, play pool I like the casual charm of the converted gas station; that it's open til 2AM; and that it's a nice walk from my house. I also like that there's some parking to be had when they're not packed. You can order your food at the window for outdoor seating (or to take it to go) or sit inside and have some beer or wine with your food. I sat inside and I liked it. Casual place to grab a bite with a friend. Have a drink. Play some pool. 1 star for value The food value is excellent as you get a great deal more for your $$ than you'll ever get at a fast food chain, BUT... -2 stars for the food - the reason we went in the first place Ordered my burger without onions and got a COLD burger with what seemed like extra onions. Instead of fries, I ordered a side salad and it came to the table made with the driest lettuce I've ever had. I don't know what kind of lettuce it was but it wasn't romaine. I asked my waitress to throw my (cold to the touch) burger back in the microwave a few seconds and she said, "It's cold?" Uh huh. Yup. It was. I don't know what happens between the kitchen and the table but, when I got it back, it wasn't much hotter. Siiiiighhhh I bet you anything that would have been one tasty burger had it been served as soon as it came off the grill.... but that wasn't how it happened. :(

I always feel like I'm going to have a heart attack after eating here, but yet I can't stop coming back. The burgers are delish and I love their fries. I recently tried the chili cheese dog, and that was great as well, the chili wasn't extremely beany like at some places. It went great with the root beer float.

Went right before a Sox game, which was probably not the best time to try a new place. It was impossible to step foot inside and the line to order outside was very long. After about 15 minutes in line, the server efficiently took my order and I paid the (pretty hefty) bill. Drinks were given at the time of order, so the hubs and I looked around for seats. Communal outside seating was minimal - wish they'd ditch a few of the impossible to park in spots and have more outside seating. Wait for food was maybe another 10 minutes - not terrible but certainly not fast food. My burger was well done, but still juicy. The fries were definitely the highlight of the meal and will be the one thing bringing me back. All in all - not amazing. The wait will keep me away during game day but the fries will bring me back on a random fall weekend.

This is a solid place to hang out at in the Fenway area. We meet up with some friends here for a few hours after work every couple weeks. I've been here over a dozen times. Decent burger (not the best in the Boston area, but very good). Their "Starvin' Student" is a great deal: $10 for a Burger, Fries, and a Draft Beer. I love the Kahuna Burger - grilled pineapple and I think BBQ sauce. No liquor; only beer and wine. I'm a cider drinker (don't like beer) and they old have one type of cider (a Crispin English Dry) that I don't like. I wish they had a better drink selection. However, if you're a regular beer drinker, Tasty Burger is just what you'd expect. They have a free parking lot, free pool table, and a nice atmosphere. We like to go here because it accommodates those of us with cars and those taking the train. Service is very sporatic. Sometimes is great and other times it's hard to get a drink refill. We do stay for 2-3 hours, but we'd buy more drinks if they noticed our drinks were empty and asked us if we wanted more.

Tasty Burger is a nice treat after a ball game at Fenway...it's practically right there! Tasty Burger isn't all that clean inside, but it's somewhat passable. Service sucks, but that's not why we come here anyways. The burger itself is good...try not to get it well done because they pretty much burn it. Medium or medium well is a good way to take it I think. If you're seated at the dine-in area, they've got a pool table, some TVs, and a small bar.

Really good burger and fries! We ordered at the outdoor window, our food was ready in about 10 minutes, we sat outside on the picnic tables and enjoyed our tasty burgers!

Tasty Burger is kind of growing on me. Scratch the "kind of." I go here almost every week. If you include late night drunk visits to the takeout counter on Friday/Saturday and the Sunday chicken and waffles brunch, it's 2+ visits, every single week. I'm not sure how it happened since I never thought of myself as a burger lover, but Tasty's just kind of became my go-to place in the neighborhood. Good, interesting beer selection (which I grew to appreciate more since outgrowing a mania for cheap beer pitchers - see previous review), consistently delicious burgers, crispy thin-cut fries, buffalo nuggets and raspberry lime rickeys... Tasty's got it all. One small caveat -- I'm still not a huge fan of their thin onion rings, though. Wish they had more onion and less batter. Must tries: The Kahuna (teriyaki and pineapple), Onion, Nitro Nuggets, and the Spicy Jalapeno.

Now, I tend to enjoy TB on an infrequent basis. I grab some takeout on a day off or a late night snack after dancing at Machine. I stopped in recently for a quick lunch because I was in the area. Since it was just me, I told the nice young woman at the door that I'd sit at the bar. When I walked over, the bartender was staring at the televisions. I made a little noise with my chair to signal with him that I was sitting down at his empty bar but he seemed unfazed. The woman from the front came behind the bar, gave me a menu and said "He will be right with you." He proceeded to greet me by not saying hello but staring directly at my chest and saying he liked my tattoo. Ok, whatever, I have wings on my chest and I was wearing a V neck shirt. I get it. But he then launched into a story about tattoos and well, I could only say that his slurred speech made me think he might have been drunk....at noon...I don't know if it was just a speech impediment. I chatted with him politely. I finally was able to interject my order and got the Gorgonzola burger. I realized after it came out that he didn't ask me if I wanted any toppings like lettuce, tomato, etc. I ate it anyway. The grosses part tho was I also saw him dig into the ice with his hands, which made me glad that my Diet Coke came from the back. Yikes, talk about unsanitary! Regardless, I wolfed down my burger and overly salty fries and left pretty quickly simply because I was uncomfortable. I've gotten good food there before. Today's experience, tho, was definitely a one star.

The burgers are good here and I would give them more stars if the girl behind the takeout counter wasn't so surly and the takeout counter wasnt so chaotic. Definitely not McDonald's Uni graduates back there. We placed out order for 2 tasty burgers and chili cheese fries and waited and waited. After the 10 people behind us got their orders including a couple who also had chili cheese fries we went up to the counter girl who finally opened the sliding window after I'd stood there for 5 min - I asked her where my order was and gave her my number - without bothering to check she said we're busy and slammed close the window. She left me no choice but to contact the manager which I never do. When we got our order our fries we cold - brought this to the manager who was sincerely apologetic and quickly brought out the replacement. Also the picnic tables outside need a goid wiping down - they were black with weeks of grime- ugh!

You know how sometimes the smell of something delicious will grab you by the nostrils and drag you down the street? That's what Tasty Burger smells like. Delicious beef grilling away on an open flame. Ok, so I don't really know if it is an open flame, but you get my drift. I am a big fan of the Kahuna Burger, with grilled pineapple, grilled red onions and teriyaki sauce. And the root beer floats. And the fries. And the beer. Bottom line is, you need to come in. But maybe not when you are in a rush, paying our bill when eating in was a nightmare.

Shannon F.

Ate here before a Sox game... totally hit the spot. We had the standard cheeseburgers - perfect size, cheesy, yummy. Service inside was super fast and friendly. The fries were pretty standard, but the burgers were really good and it was a hot day so the ice cold coke was great.

I was hankering for a juicy burger last night and decided to try this talked about "Tasty Burger". I mean a lot of people I know have been raving how great it is. Ummmmm, but what am I missing? It was meh at the least. Yes, the burgers are cheap. I enjoy a greasy burger from time to time but if the burger itself is thin and greasy. It's a turn off. I like thick juicy burgers.. these are not that. Now I know. I wasn't disappointed with the flavor. The flavor was there. We ordered the 50/50 - When the onion rings came out and they were actually onion strings. I lifted my fists to the heavens and cried!!! I didn't read the fine print on the menu. It does say fried thin onion strings. Or something like that. I guess I like my onion rings like I like my burgers... THICK. hehehe :] (get your minds out of the gutter) The fries were good. I requested some cheese sauce on the side and thank God we did because it would've ruined it. The sauce was grainy and makes me wonder if it was even real cheese. The one thing that saved the entire meal would have to be the vanilla shake. I think I would've drank a gallon of it if I was beast. It made me smile at the end. The service was friendly and quick. Free Parking was a plus!

I'm officially in LOVE with Tasty Burger! I got the Classic Hamburger with a side of Onion Rings -- did not disappoint. In fact, I was really impressed! The Onion rings were thin & crispy (super salty, but to be honest it really just made them taste even better).... burger was juicy & flavorful [you get to choose how well-done you want your burger to be which is a big plus. I got mine just the way I like it: medium-well] Its near Simmons & BU's South campus so great for students when they want something a lil different. If it was a little bit cheaper, i'd go more often but I am definitely a fan. Also, there was only outdoor seating when I went (which was on a pretty cold day). But definitely give them a shot.

What did I do when I craved some Mexican spiciness and a burger? I entertained the idea of getting the Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger, accompanying with a side of fries. Did they pour gasoline on the patty and light it on fire? Because that's what it smelled offensively smoky. Boy, kudos for creativity and efficiency if that's what they did. Disjointed is the word to describe the two components. It wasn't a divorce, it wasn't any dysfunctional relationship, it was just two strangers standing side by side. It was jalapeÃ±o cheese AND burger, not a jalapeÃ±o cheese burger. There were bites that infused my mouth with the smokiness beef, and then there were bites with cheese goo and a hint of spiciness. And yes, my fiance was given the apologetic responsibility of finishing it The piping hot fries saved it from being an abysmal experience. There were delightfully simple and long, no fancy salt-sprinkling or battered coating. One thought appeared as I 'm wrapping this up: I miss you, In-n-Out!

Andrew C.

Great variety of burgers and quick service inside. Wish it had a better beer selection from tap, since I can get the same bottled beer across the street at the liquor store. Also the bill adds up quick ($3 for fries?!), but always tastes great. Be warned that this is the only place in the area open until 2am, so it's usually a long line for take-out after midnight.
(4)
Alie C.

After a night of drinking, this place is the bomb. We could tell when we walked up it was popular. It's open until 2 am, so you can stumble over from the local bars just as they say last call. Having a name like Tasty Burger leaves a lot to live up to, but it doesn't disappoint. It may have been the liquor from the night, but it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. I will be craving this place for a while and will definitely be back to eat there again when I'm in Boston.

Jalal O.

The Big Tasty burger is a revelation. Every layer is perfect, and the generous ladle of tasty sauce just knocked it out of the park. I've had dreams about that burger... Special shout-out to the fries, which are as perfectly seasoned as any in the country. The only complaint is the service (again, I only got take-out). Both times I've gone, the wait has been erratic and long. Erratic because people who order after me have consistently gotten theirs first. Both times, the favored strangers ordered basically the same items as me and in larger quantities. I only point it out because I'd love to give TB five stars, and that's my only beef.

Dan P.

We'll consider this at Stop 7 on the Best Burgers in Boston, although today was my third time going there. This place is great for a quick cheap burger. I've sat down, and had take out and its great either way. The only thing that sucks is parking, yes there are spots, but you have to pay. The burgers are good and interesting. Good combination of taste and creativity. The fries are delicious and so are the onion rings. Today we got the all the way dog which was amazing.

This place is just fucking rad. I will drop a four star spot on this place despite being largely underwhelmed by the burger. Just a cool space, a former service station turned 50's style purveyor of burgers, fries, shakes - you get the drill. Great selection of burgers from the simply sublime to the ridiculously decadent. Something was lost in translation though, as I wasnt thrilled by the overall flavor of the burger (Jalapeno cheeseburger). I believe that they claim that each burger is 6oz, but that seemed a stretch. Also, be sure to ask for lettuce, tomato etc. because on the specialty burgers, it is assumed you don't want the accoutrements unless specifically mentioned. Amazing milkshakes - I know it sounds stupid, but it was literally like drinking really good ice cream. Super friendly staff, genuinely happy to be there. A sick digital juke box. A pool table. A full bar. The manager/ proprietor is this awesome mix of Paul Bunyan and a 50's biker - and was stoked on everyone coming and going and made sure that the entirety of the clientele felt legitimately welcomed. Parking. In Fenway. Wow. The most amazing selection of table condiments ever assembled: Ketchup, Mustard, BBQ, steak sauce and Sriacha! Awesome Samuel L. Jackson ("That is a tasty burger") in Pulp Fiction piece of art ( I forgot the artist's name, but he did a similarly awesome one of Burt Reynolds that is hanging in the Blue Room in Kendall Square) It is just fun to eat here, and you will leave full and not feeling ill, despite devouring the better part of a small calf.

A simple idea: good food, fast, fresh, and tasty. Got the student deal: beer, burger + fries for $10, saves you about $2. Definitely coming back again!

In its former life this location was a Mobil station. What they've done to it is extremely cool. You can order take out at a window outside or you can venture inside to the seating area with wait service. Here it used to be 2 service bays for oil changes; the garage doors are still there and rolled up on nice days. Now you'll find tables, a full-size bar (beer & wine license), even a pool table. Burgers ARE tasty. This is what a Shake Shack burger wishes to be when it grows up. Patty is 1/3 lb. and generously seasoned. They normally cook to medium here (Reminder: when we're talking beef, MED means a pink center). If you prefer a more cooked patty, just tell 'em. Very good sesame seed bun. Plenty of different choices for burgers and all are a good value at an average of $5. They come wrapped in oh-so-cool PleatPaks making for neat and sanitary eating. Tasty Sauce is combo mayo/relish. Chili tends towards salty. Fries are perfectly crisp outside (cornstarch?) while still staying soft. They are skin-on and cut McD's size. Onion rings are thin and battered as opposed to crumbed. They give plenty, as 1 basket is more then enough to share. Cheese, if you choose to accept, is a real deal sauce and not some Velveeta ooze. Sausage gravy is another very nice option. Another burger joint that makes a genuine shake. Ice cream, milk, malt. A nice thick, smooth pull. Thank you very much. Beers on draft are basic. Lots of cans from small and craft breweries; it's a well-thought out list. Service is quick and efficient even on Red Sox game days. Open late until 2 am. Did I mention this is a cool place?

Went here at the suggestion of a date. Nice casual place for hipsters and college students. Decent burgers, had better, had worse. It was a little too fast food greasy for my tastes but it's pretty much par for the course in a place like this. Would I come here again? With El Pelon so close?!?! Maybe.

The smell is absolutely intoxicating. Every time I'm within a few blocks of Fenway Park, the allure of Tasty Burger is always almost too much to handle. I just only wish their burgers tasted as good as they smelled. I just got a chance to try the Big Kahuna Burger recently, and it really just didn't work for me. The sweet/smoky combo, which is something that works in burgers most of the time, just didn't work for me here. The ratio of sweet to smoky really just didn't do it for me here. I ate about half to 3/4 of my patty, and discarded the rest. However, I definitely have to acknowledge the awesome student discount deal they've got, and the face that they're open late is always a desirable trait for a restaurant within a stumble from some of Boston's most popular bars. Perhaps I just had an off night. I'd definitely be willing to give Tasty Burger another chance, but I really wasn't all that impressed on my first Tasty Burger go-round.

Susan R.

Ugh. For what it is- this place is ok. A fast food burger joint, open til two, right near Fenway Park. Think about what that might be like. Got a picture in your mind? Well, surprise!...That is EXACTLY what it IS like. I went for lunch today and might feel gross for a week, but at 1:30 am... I bet it would seem like the best burger ever. 3 stars are due to the fact that they offer 50/50 fries/rings and a small beer selection.

Good ole greasy bacon cheeseburger cooked to perfection! Don't order a hot dog. You'll be disappointed. The onion rings are onion strings and yummy. When I have relatives in town, we go here. Everyone loves it.

We found ourselves down wind from Tasty Burger the other night, around 11pm. Sure, we had eaten dinner around 7, and we're not particularly hungry as we left the theater, but it just smelled SO. GOOD. We got take away, and after ordering, and watching the previous orders being picked up. We felt stupid for not ordering onion rings or fries. THEY LOOKED SO GOOD! It IS tasty. They do not lie. I got the jalapeno burger, and a root beer float. I was totally satisfied by this meal.

Brooke R.

Fantastic hamburgers! Amazing onion rings!! This is a great place to catch a bite before you tour Fenway Park. This place was hopping from the time we got there until the time we left. Our food came out quick and hot. However, it did take a while for our order to be taken by our waitress...she was the only one working the enitre dining room of about 20 tables. WARNING: the burgers are cooked medium, not well done, unless you specify otherwise. Normally, I would hate a well-done piece of meat, but being pregnant I cannot eat undercooked ground beef. Just be aware before you order.

Lisa B.

I'm giving Tasty Burger five stars in the "burger joint" category. LOVE this place!! It's close to my apartment, so my boyfriend and I checked it out on a whim. I think he got a double cheeseburger with avocado, and I got a veggie burger. We split the onion rings/french fries. He thought his burger was GREAT! Greasy enough, but not gross at all. My bean burger was pretty good, too. I'm usually not a bean burger fan (I like veggie burgers that have vegetables in them), but this one was tasty. The onion rings are very thinly sliced and the french fries are comparable to Burger King or Wendy's. This is a compliment, since I think BK and Wendy's kicks McD's butt :P We ate inside, but it looks like the inside was fun, too. Check it out!

Aleeza L.

I've been here three times now. 1 - Ate inside with 2 friends. They got the student special (burger and beer) and I was still on my chili cheese fries quest so I got the cheese and gravy fries and onion rings. Service was pretty good. Nothing noteworthy, he was just a dependable guy. From what I heard, the burgers were pretty good (sorry, I cannot remember what they got). Beer was good. Cheese and gravy was alright - the gravy could have been tastier (it seemed like it was from those instant gravy packages) and thicker. It was a bit watery and made my fries mushier faster. Otherwise, still a good time. 2 - Take out! Their mint-chocolate shake was terrible. Very minty, but it had chocolate chips that threatened to kill me after I tried to suck it through the straw too hard. =[ The chili cheese (yes, I'm obsessed) dog didn't travel too well back to my place (chilicheese e'erywhere) but it was still delicious. 3 - Take out! Sack of cheezburgers. I'm not sure if I was just hungry or what, but they were the best plain burgers I've ever had. Kind of soggy bun with everything falling out of the burger, but it was still delicious. Cooked mid-rare served with lettuce and tomato. Yum. I'm craving one now. Overall, it's a solid burger place near Fenway. Way better than any fastfood burger, but don't expect to be wowed by presentation. Just close your eyes, take a bite, and enjoy some good American food. =P

June-Young C.

This place is alright. The burgers have a lot of flavor, and you can tell they are definitely grilled. I'd have to disagree with some people since I thought the burgers were a little small. Was still starvin after getting the starvin' student combo, which comes with a cheeseburger, fries, and a beer. At each table, there are a ton of sauces- even sriracha?!!? They have a challenge to eat a 1/2 pound hotdog with a cheeseburger and a bunch of other things stuffed in it. Lots of choices of beer, in a can no less.

Elliot D.

Forget all of the special burgers. Don't even look at them. Stop it.... Stooooop it...! What you want, what you really really want, is the just the plane jane Cheeseburger. Get it. Don't be sad because you're not getting teriyaki sauce or pineapple or crazy stuff like that. Be happy because your getting the best $4 cheeseburger this side of In-N-Out.

Tasty Burger is aptly named! It also has a kind of West Coast vibe, which is interesting for a burger joint located right outside Fenway. A nice change of pace, I say. We came on a Saturday night and while it was busy, our group of four was seated promptly. The beer selection was kind of boring, so I skipped the suds for a lime mint slushie, which tasted exactly like a non-alcoholic mojito. YUM! It was definitely made with fresh mint, which is most excellent. I wonder if they would make an alcoholic version as well? Could be quite popular in the summertime...but I digress. We all ordered different burgers. I had the "blue collar" which was a batter fried patty topped with honey mustard sauce. A little too salty but otherwise tasty. I really enjoyed the soft and substantial sesame seed bun which was well suited to the burger. The boy had a double "hubba" burger, which was two patties smothered in a homemade chili. Delicious yes, but extremely messy to eat. We also shared a 50/50 basket of fries and onion rings. The portion was perfect for sharing. Now, I don't usually enjoy onion rings, but these were finely cut sweet onions and perfectly crispy. The fries were also done just to my liking--soft on the inside, crisp on the outside. Our friends also ordered the side of chips with homemade guacamole and hummus. Again, great execution here, although they could've maybe offered another scoop of guac and hummus since we had way more chips left over than dip. Everything tasted fresh and came piping hot out of the kitchen. This is especially key for fried fast food. Overall, the value was not bad given the portion size and quality. I do wish they offered free parking to patrons, but I think they charge $6. I would probably avoid coming down here on game days since it'd likely be mobbed and impossible to park, but it's nice that they have a takeout window and patio seating for warm weather al fresco dining. I was a little puzzled over the mixed reviews, but I can only surmise that the management made some thoughtful changes upon early customer feedback. Bravo, Tasty Burger!

Satisfying cheese burger and beer and 50/50. Good fresh cheese, veggies and meat. The only thing I would change would be the bread. Chili cheese dog was inedible, sorry, especially the bun. The JR. was huge.

Bret C.

Went back for a third try and unfortunately the place continues to miss the mark. The burger was soft/soggy in the middle. The portions of the fries are far too big and the fries themselves are tasteless. Continues to be ever so slightly too pricey even though it's come down a bit. The whole "Take out window" with no seating outside is awkward. Why can't we just order at the window and sit at the restaurant? Table service for this place is unnecessary and more of an inconvenience than service.

I used to absolutely love this place. The onion burger is amazing. The fries are decent, and the shakes are good. The staff is pleasant. However, the last two times I ate here, I got sick-- almost food poisoning bad, but only for 24 hours. The last time-- this weekend-- it was just awful. Not sure what it was, but I'm not going to be coming back any time soon.

I came here on a non-Red Sox Saturday night with my boyfriend, despite having the worst dining experience of my life across the street at Citizen Public House, which is owned by the same parent company. But we wanted something super casual and chill, so we decided to sit in the outside dining area so that we could order a pitcher of light beer. I ordered a veggie burger and he ordered a normal burger, and we ordered some fries to share. And a pitcher of Miller Light. The food was quite good, and the price was fair and not blow-your-budget-levels, which I appreciate. Halfway through our meal, a very large beetle of some sort started a-swimming in our beer, so we fished it out humanely and put it on the table next to us and explained to our server that we had just pulled a beetle out of the half-full pitcher of beer we had in front of us. I asked if he could just maybe get us another half-pitcher since it was sort of yucky, and I thought he understood that we weren't asking to pay for another pitcher. So he took it away half full, then brought a full pitcher. And then charged us for it. Sigh...that wasn't what we had in mind. What ever happened to "doing the right thing when it comes to service"? I guess it went out the window. The bathrooms are gross and inappropriate for what I thought was an affordable family meal for game-goers. It belongs in a seedy nightclub, with walls riddled and defaced with copious amounts of graffiti. Honestly, little things like this are incongruent with the rest of the restaurant's image. And not that anyone else other than I, would notice this, but they would absolutely fail a surprise visit from the fire inspector, as the back hallway with the restroom was 70% blocked with dozens of delivery trays of burger and hotdog buns stacked along that back hallway, and of course, the back exit door. Sort of sketchy. It's okay.....

Like a mirage in Fenway park- there it was: Tasty Burger. Open late, serving milkshakes and burgers to the Boston fans, families and drunks alike. I waited in line at 3 in the morning after walking by it earlier that day... me: "Whoa, what's that?" bf: "Tasty Burger" me: "What's a Tasty Burger?".... then I spaced out and fantasized about the endless possibilities of milkshakes,french fries and hot dogs calling to me on my walk home. Low and behold, there I was- waiting behind some of the interesting characters of Boston (that I love.) One woman asked if the burgers were organic..... it was 3 in the morning- that was the least of my concern. They took my name- and I waited outside the mini window for them to yell my name to tell me it was ready. The fries didn't make it home, but the burgers did. And EVERYTHING was delicious. Maybe it was the booze- or maybe they just were absolutely perfect to satisfy the ever present munchies. My dear Tasty Burger, here's a very warm, tasty welcome to the neighborhood.

I live close and go here whenever I am able to convince someone to venture into the Fenway area. I like all of the options and that you can swap the veggie burger into any of their burger types. My friend noted that the fries were a little too crisp last time and I would have to agree. They serve a good selection of draft and canned beer for reasonable prices. I had a Kona draft which went great with the Gorgonzola and onion strings. -1 star because the music is too loud (I could barely hear our waiter) and the fries are sometimes overdone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the name of this establishment is no bullshit, it really is a Tasty Burger" Growing up near Boston, I always went to the Sox games, and as a pre-game ritual, we would always hit up Tasty Burger for some tasty eats. When I went off to college in Ohio, I found myself missing lots of things... Fenway... TD Banknorth Garden... people asking for change in the commons... but one thing I craved insanely was Tasty Burger. As I got older, I appreciated this place a lot more. There is a variety of burgers for cheap, there's a challenge, there's beers, it's open late, what else do you want? It is a great place for pre-game, after game, no game, where you can relax with your friends in a cool atmosphere and talk about the previous night's adventures. Tasty Burger gets a tasty 4 stars from me. P.S. If you're the woman I saw in a full dress sipping wine and eating a burger outside that one time, I like your style.

Tasty Burger has probably the best burger for under $10 in the city. Fast Food prices with restaurant quality. The selection of topping on the burgers is large. I went with the Big Kahuna Burger, inspired by pulp fiction like the entire place, it was cooked perfectly medium rare and it was topped with terriyaki sauce, grilled pineaplle, and some onions. They're french fries are good but their onion rings are my favorite, they are shoe string style. At first glance it may look like a typical fast food joint from the outside but the inside of the place was more of a bar with a hipster crowd, at least the evening I went. They have a takeout window too, and they have an area outside with some patio furniture to eat at.

I went here with my gf and her niece. We wanted to try a good burger place as we have tried a string of bad burgers recently. After reading some reviews we decided to go to tasty burger, which I had seen walking by many times in the past but never had a chance to go into. We tried two burgers, a chili cheese dog, and a veggie burger. All four things were delicious! The hot dog especially it tasted homemade and unique. The burgers were cooked exactly as I had requested (which is a rare thing with restaurants in Boston). Their fires were great just a tad too salty and there milkshakes were good but reminded me a little too much of Mcdonald's milkshakes. Over all it's a great burger joint I'd recommended it and would go again. It's way better then Mcdonald's, Burger King, Uburger, Wendys, good burger, etc.... Try it out!

Although, sometimes they get too busy to notice us, the food and value is unbeatable. This is the place to go if you're a poor college student or just want a good deal on a nice meal. Best greasy burgers in town. Just be meticulous when you order your burgers, you literally have to name every single topping you would like on there including lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese because they won't assume that you want those if you do. :)

This burger "joint" looks like a joke from the outside. It's in this small building that was clearly (at one time) a former gas station convenience store and repair bay. There is a walk up window where you can order to go without having to actually go in. We were about to walk away figuring that it was another greasy burger place...and then we saw hummus on the menu! Hummus? In a burger stop? We HAD to go in and try it. We went in (there were 9 of us) and got seated fairly quickly. The kids menu doesn't have any choices for vegetarian kids. When I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich for my little one, the server told me that it wasn't on the menu and she didn't think that they could make it for me. (WHAT?!??!?! They couldn't make me a sandwich with cheese and bread???) But, after she went to ask someone, she came back and said that they would be able to make it after all. :) I had a gardenburger, which was decent enough; the fries were good and not too greasy; the prices weren't over-inflated even though this place is (really) a stone's throw from Fenway. While we were really excited about the hummus, it wasn't THAT great. I wouldn't go there just for the hummus. But, I WOULD go there for the atmosphere and a quick bite to eat with friends...and maybe a side of hummus!! :)

You be the judge. From my point of view there were some positives and some negatives; possibly better translated as facts and mysteries. I apologize for this boring review. Because, in fact, I was quite excited about eating here. Was with Burly Burger peeps and had a hankering for a cheap burger. It fulfilled my needs in a no holds barred environment where I could be loud and obnoxious and make a mess of my hands and the floor and the table with a greasy, cheap burger. Facts: + The single patty is a 6 oz'r at $4.5 as a basic cheeseburger. The double is the "better value" as 12 oz'r at $6.0. + The address is ... extremely close to Fenway Park at Boylston and Yawkey Way. + There is a take out window. + The burger is wrapped in gingham-patterned waxy paper. Mysteries: + What's the deal with Omaha Beef and daily in-house grinding? I don't know anything about beef from Nebraska. I knew a guy from Nebraska once. His name is Marty. + Why is the floor in the restaurant so. gosh. darned. slippery?? Did my chair have wheels? + Whatever they do to those onion strings, I couldn't help but like it... Ultimately, in my search for a burger that I love, Tasty B, doesn't quite fit the bill. You can get down and dirty with a burger in any number of non-fast food, but quick fix locations (Uburger, Mr. Bartley's, Four Burgers) and these guys taste just about the same each with their ups and downs. I actually liked the weird scene (Sam Jackson Big Kahuna burger image on the wall, new age diner-industrial atmosphere) at Tasty B, but the burger itself was very forgettable.

Worth the trip. Great beer selection, free pool and an excellent burger offering. Nothing too gourmand mind you, in fact they do best at the low brow. Specifically the Blue Collar Burger! I went in for a double and goddamn it was one tasty burger! Had a few others and they've all been great. Service was also awesome. I'm sure that during before or after a Sox game this place is rotten with out of towners but on a random Saturday it's a great way to kill a couple of hours. Keep it up TB!

I'm knocking a star off because Tasty Burger no longer serves that awesome Lime Basil Mint slush drink (I don't recall the actual name, but it is what is actually in there...fresh mint and basil leaves crushed in limey-goodness). I had this drink in November 2011, so I don't know what happened with this change. Why would you take it off the menu?! It's one of the best and freshest drinks I ever had!!!! Can you please bring it back?! The burgers are decent here. I love the Kahuna Burger. The glaze is so yummy and works well with the pineapple! Fries were good too (crispy and hot). HOWEVER, I made a big mistake of adding cheese to the Butta Burger (replaced meat with vegetarian patty)...it was just too much for me to take. Too overwhelming with all of that fat and saltiness to eat! I'm sure it's better in meat format, but the slice of cheese and the butter was super icky. They say butter and cheese usually go well together in cooking...in my case, not this combo. I never ate inside the dining area, so I'll check it out again in the future.

THE GOOD: the burgers, fries, beer selection (pitchers of their drafts are available) THE BAD: the restaurant needs to get rid of the pool table and add a few more actual tables since this place can get crowded; most beer is $4.50/bottle THE UGLY: parking situation (good luck) Girlfriend and I hit up Tasty Burger before a Red Sox game last night and definitely enjoyed it. It's true that the burgers are a little bit greasy, but I've had way greasier burgers many times before. The burgers are only 5oz, so a big dude or gal is gonna kill one and probably want another. A large fry is $3 and is usually big enough to feed two non-obese people. I got a Kahuna burger with pineapple and teriyaki sauce and it was excellent. Would absolutely get it again. Give it a shot if you are going to a red sox game. It's one of the cheapest pre-game restaurants in the area for sure.

I want to really really like this place, but I just sorta kinda like it. A little. I don't know what it is. I like the bar and they have some decent beer options. The bartenders are great. But I always end up feeling sick to my stomach when I come here and I don't know why. Even when I just come for beer. Probably it's because I always end up here after I'm already full of booze. That might have something to do with it. The burgers aren't really all that great. They just taste kinda meh. Maybe it's the meat? I don't know. I like UBurger so much better...but they don't have beer. Ugh, I just can't win.

Ok so the first time I went here it was really busy and late night. I only had 3-4 beers prior to coming here so my taste buds were still on cue. The fries tasted like they had a whole salt shaker dumped on them and the burger was just a run of the mill tasteless mess. Today on the way to work I figured I would give them another shot. It was no where near busy since the sox were horrible this year and are out golfing now. So I ordered their tasty burger, large fries and a shake. The shake was good but nothing to write home about. The fries were cold and still seemed like a pound of salt was dumped on them. Now for the burger. You would expect a place that specializes in burgers would have mind blowing burgers. Quite the opposite. They are stomach wrenching. The bun was soggy, the burger was bland and over all sucked. The staff didn't seem like they cared. One of the staff members was just behind the counter stuffing his face and handling money and then food. So all in all run away from this place!!!

With its location being right near the entrance of Fenway Park, this Tasty Burger definitely gets busy on game days! Because of limited seating inside, I usually like to order at the window for take out. The burgers are nothing special, but serves well as a cheap and quick bite to eat pre or post-games!

There's a giant mural of Samuel L. Jackson ala "Pulp Fiction" on the wall here. Why wouldn't you like this place? After a night of dancing at Machine down the block and across the street, we mosey'd on over to Tasty Burger for some much needed caloric intake. I opted for the single cheeseburger ($4) and black & white shake (also $4ish) while Margot went for the Gorgonzola double burger and fries. The total for us came to $22 pre-tip, so not too bad. There are two options for ordering here: 1) if you sit inside, you have the benefit of a server, or 2) from the counter outside where you stand around waiting for your food. The food came out SUPER quick, and was surprisingly tasty for how quickly it materialized. My only complaint is that my cheeseburger seemed a bit heavy on the salt, so I probably obtained my sodium intake percentages for the next week or so. The black & white shake was thick and delicious, and had it not been negative subarctic temperatures outside, I would have easily taken it with me to sustain my ever-constant fight with the excuse for a mass transit system that comprises Boston's "T" train. Not as good as U Burger, but certainly not bad if you're in the neighborhood and it's too cold to walk over to the U Burger by BU.

I love this place but I didnt give it 5 stars because the quality of the hamburgers. They are good, don't get me wrong. Just not great. Relatively flavorless except for the accompanying flavors. Ambiance, accessibility, and MY GOD THE BEER! are what make it a gem. You must go.

Cequesta K.

I really had no clue that Burger joints still existed in the conservativeness that is Boston, but thanks to the awesomeness that is Yelp, my boyfriend and I were able to satisfy our craving for late night munchies!! We came here on a Thursday night at around 1:25am and didnt really expect much, but once we walked in I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that it was still super packed and they had a beer/wine selection! McDonald's? I think not! After a thorough look through the slightly extensive menu and being conflicted with the calorie intake (promise I'm not shallow!) I Decided to try out the veggie burger. OH MY GOODNESS. The perfect blend of mushrooms scallions onions and tofu will make any carnivore without a second thought ! I didn't want the bliss to end! My babe ordered a classic American Burger with a side of fries which he said was delicious. We recieclved our $12 check and left with a gut full of yummyness and a smile on our faces! Can't wait to get the late night hungry horrors again!

Kevin W.

Gorgonzola with Bacon, Fries, and a Coke.... GOODNIGHT! They have the best burgers in the 'hood. Cooked and seasoned right, won't go anywhere else for a burger in the Fenway. I always want to come in and buy a shirt but I always get distracted by the smell of delicious burgers. Question though... its called the Gorgonzola but the menu says, 'Bleu Cheese', what is it really? Also, can this place get a customer loyalty/rewards program? I mean its time to corner the Fenway burger game. Keep on doing what you're doing, we love it!

i actually went inside the restaurant last night, and i'm totally a fan. their student special is fantastic -- a hamburger/cheeseburger, a ton of fries, and bud/bud light for only $10? yes please. i love that they also let me sub any of their hamburgers with a veggie patty. their patty was definitely not your run-of-the-mill gardenburger. thumbs up, tasty burger.
(4)
Linda C.

Don't come here if you're hungry. The burgers are so small and leave you wanting MORE....more of something filling. Even if you ordered three burgers and a fry, you'll still be hungry. Plus, these patties are similar to a McDonald's value meal burger. Save the money and time and go to Boston Burger Co, Five Guys or even Wendy's instead. Sad to say, any of those burgers are better.

Harry H.

With no other viable options late on a weeknight, we opted for Tasty Burger - got the 50/50 and a creamsicle shake (which was carbonated, which is understandable but not traditional in my experience) plus an all the way for $22. Nothing impressed but nothing was egregiously disappointing. Alright in a pinch - eat outside at the tables on a nice night.

I do love me a good turkey burger, and this place delivers a fresh, juicy, charcoal-y patty topped with whatever you want (beware, it's filled with fennel seeds, so if you don't like that flavor you won't like this turkey burger). I chose poorly and went with the Budda burger, meaning it was topped with butter, and it was just way too buttery and greasy for me, not to mention it had onions on it even though it wasn't listed on the menu (and no lettuce/tomato). But the rest of my crowd was happy with their own burger toppings, so I think I just need to pick something else next time. (Note: a simple turkey burger with cheese on a return visit was excellent.) I split the 50/50 (fries and rings) with 1 other person, although the basket was huge and probably could have fed 3-4 people. The fries were standard and unmemorable, but I really liked the onions, they were really thin and crispy. I got a raspberry-lime rickey which was tasty. Also, their black and white frappes are delicious, highly recommended. The server forgot our side of ranch dressing, but it's a really casual restaurant (i.e. plastic and paper) and more of a take-out type place IMO, so that can be forgiven. Food came out fast and fresh, and there are a myriad of dipping sauces and condiments on each table. Prices are a little high and things add up... a single burger is $5.50, rickey is $2.50, and 50/50 is $4, so it's definitely no McD's. But much cheaper than any sit-down place.

Best burgers in Boston, hands down l. And cheap, too. Casual, perfect burger joint in the Fenway area- if you're not there for a Fenway frank, enjoy a tasty burger! Awesome fries, too, for those that are picky fry lovers!

I had a bacon cheese burger with fries. Well, it was good burger and fries and the service was good. But there's really nothing special that I would said about the burger or the fries. But definitely a good place before going to Fenway Park.

Andrea H.

Fantastic value, kitsch decor, and friendly waitstaff make this an excellent value. I miss In n Out on the west coast, and though this place is not a drive-thru, it has dang good burgers, fries, and shoestring onion rings that definitely satisfy my cravings. I haven't tried the hot dogs yet because I've decided to try a different burger every time I've gone. If you are in the mood for a meal that will not disappoint you or your tight wallet, this place is a fantastic choice. The pool table in back can create a fun atmosphere with friends, and the beer menu is surprisingly varied for such a small place. I'm looking forward to eating outside here when it gets warmer.

Collette M.

Went with my sister for my first meal in Boston. It was a nice place, though the music was annoyingly loud for the 10 people having dinner. I ordered an original hamburger while my sister had the Tasty burger. They came out quickly and we both shared the fries. Believe me that was more than enough fries for the both of us. I also had a chocolate shake but to be honest did not think it was worth the $4 for neither the size nor the quality. Overall an okay experience.

Jeff W.

Been here a couple time. (first time I've eaten here) I enjoyed it. Place was packed, but comfortable considering the Sox were playing and Fenway is less than a block away. The food is inexpensive, $6 for a bacon cheeseburger with an extra $2 for fries. For that you get a burger that's much higher end than you'll get at most fast food places. They're on a par with 5 guys but they serve beer, which I think clearly makes them better. Beer selections descent with a solid selection of draughts and your typical "cheap options". A pounder oh High Life runs $4, which I think is a bit steep but that's my only complaint. So yeah, I'd call myself a fan. Check it out, do it! Also they have a mural of Jules eating his "tasty burger" hanging on the wall.

Todd T.

Got the starvin' student here the other day for $10. The burger was very good, kind of like Fuddrucker's, but better. The fries were just alright. The beer on tap that I wanted was out so I had Miller (wasn't too happy about that). For the price it's unbeatable. It's cheaper than Five Guy's and much better... although I don't know if there' s a FIve Guys anywhere near there. It was a good burger for not too much. I would definitely recommend it. The waiter was nice, the place was kind of crowded and small. I don't remember what night it was, but they were having a quiz night which I thought was really cool.

Rob C.

Even though it was cold and windy while i waited outside, i was totally psyched by the takeout window, and wished i had gone here when the weather was warmer. Nevertheless, i totally dug the walk-up ordering and the fact that i only live three blocks away from a place to get awesome hamburgers ('cause UBurger was such a haul, he complains overdramatically). The hamburgers are very evidently put together for real and not frozen or anything, and come out pretty much ideally. They're not too badly served by transport home, and the accoutrements (i had bacon, of course) are solid. While i debated doubling it up, i was well and truly sated by a single-decker. Part of this is due to the massive pile of onion strings, which i picture them overfilling and then kinda dropping in the bag, at which point it's kinda like an onion-string bomb goes off deliciously. These things are perfectly fried, sweet and salty at the same time. So damn good. It's places like this that are totally going to cause me to be priced out of my apartment.

Kelsey M.

Pricey, but delicious burgers. We ordered outside and discovered there was a interior dining area. The burgers tasted great and the atmosphere/decor was really comfortable. Knocked off one star because we saw several staff eating and handling orders at the same time. Isn't that a safety\y code violation?

Keith M.

Big and tasty. Fries. Nuggets. Chips. Guacamole. Hummus. Starving after that 17 inning Red Sox game and the food could not have been better. Ordered way too much for 2 people. The burger was fresh and cooked well-done - perfect. The nuggets were real chicken. The chips were warm and the guacamole and hummus was very fresh if not home made. A little loud in there, but great food, prepared right and arrived quickly. Can't remember the final bill, but considering this place is right near Fenway Park, I was very surprised at how inexpensive it was. I will be back.

Karen P.

After taking a tour of Fenway Park & seeing concession signs screaming, "Hot dogs! Burgers! Popcorn!", the BF & I knew we had to go eat some burgers. Luckily, I read about Tasty Burger before, which is literally right next to Fenway Park. I thought it was strange that a fast food joint had a "sit-in waiter service" component & a takeout component. It was awfully cold that day, and sitting at picnic tables located outside for takeout customers didn't seem too appealing, so we decided to bring our order home. We ordered an onion burger, jalapeno burger & a side of fries. Everything was DELICIOUS. I don't know how the fries were so good, but I couldn't stop eating them. Our food wrappers were soaked through with grease, but let's not kid ourselves here... so worth it. Tasty Burger is way better than U Burger & is now my to-go place.

Alyssa W.

my friend told me about this place a while back and told me her and her friends liked to go there and get milk shakes and fries. being a burger fanatic, i was surprised i hadnt heard of this place before. Well, I finally came here with a few friends this weekend and I was impressed. I liked that they kept the outside looking like a gas station/garage. def gives it a unique look. But i was also happy that the inside was nice looking. it has a bar feel but not tight and crowded. they also have a pool table. now to the burgers. great selection. but I definately wanted to switch up some of the toppings to put on other things. but I decided to stick with what they have and maybe be adventurous next time. I chose to get the mushroom burger with swiss cheese. really good! my friends got the onion burger which was my second choice. I had to get a side order of fries and a milk shake because I heard the fries are great dipped in the milk shake. odd I kno. but so good! love salty sweet combos. all in all, i will definately be coming back here again. the prices are good and the burgers taste great.

Kenny L.

Absolutely a great place to go on a date at. The environment is very casual and has a chilling vibe about it. IM not a big burger person, but i have to say the burgers here are pretty tasty!. The prices for these burgers are also pretty cheap. They also sell cheap pitchers also. Best of all they are open pretty late. (2am) I had the kahuna burger which was pretty good. If you are a big person or have a big appetite make sure you order two burgers. The burger isnt that big. I also order the chili i cheese dog. Which was ok, it wasn't out of this world. It was a little disappointing but i am a big chili cheese dog person.(so i set my standards high) And off course i got a glass pbr. I went with a group of friends and they all seem to enjoy their burgers also. SOmeone comment on how good teh onions rings here were It was very fried and crispy and were actually onion rings. I usually only come here late at night so i don't know how it is during the day. BUt they have plenty of booths, a couple of tables and a nice bar. Did i forget to mention they have a tasty challenge here. Come and find out for yourself if you can overcome the challenge

As a Fenway area worker, I'm always excited to see something new and exciting pop up in the area. On the first day it opened I was less excited. Every single person that I know who went that first week said it was "eh. not worth the money." However, I convinced some of my co-workers to go again so I could give it a try. WOOT! So glad we did. I think the key to enjoying this joint is to go inside rather than ordering at the walk-up window. This old gas station is now the home to some tasty veggie burgers that have yummy toppings like chipotle mayo, roasted red onions, gorgonzola cheese, etc. The 50/50 is a nice combo of shoestring onion rings and fries. Perfect to split with a friend!

Risa X.

One of my first meals in Boston. Again, I am not a burger fan (refer to Mr. Bartley's review).. So you must ask: "Why would you go to a place that has BURGER in the name?" Answer: my boyfriend. They have the most interesting specials! If, and when, you see chicken and waffles, get it. I've never had Roscoe's so I can't make a fair comparison but it was pretty good :) And two words: Raspberry Lime Rickey (Okay that was three but whatever!) Didn't know what a lime rickey was til I moved out to BOS, but now that I've had it once, I can't get enough of it!!

Jennifer C.

Perfect place for a delicious burger! I went with two friends for lunch and Tasty Burger is located in an old garage/gas station. We shared the 50/50 onion rings (shoe string not thick) and fries which was perfect for 3 of us. I had the turkey burger with cheese and it was so good! Didn't feel extremely disgusting afterwards which is always a plus. I also had a chocolate milkshake which was great too -- they have a bunch of other flavors. They have a bar at Tasty Burger too which is a plus and a student special for $10 which is a burger fries and a beer i think? The best thing of all? Found out at this place is open until 2am so if you're out in the fenway area its the perfect place to go to!

Great place! I'll give it 5 stars not because they have super fancy gourmet burgers that dropped out of heaven, but because if you're looking for a quick bite that'll hit the mmmmmm spot, something not too small that'll still leave you hungry, yet something not so big that you regret eating, and something fairly quick and simple, this place is as good as it gets (which is how yelp describes a 5 star rating, "as good as it gets")! Try it out!! + Large assortment of sauces at every table ++ Food comes out quickly even if sitting in at the restaurant +++ Bring your student ID, and you can get a burger, fries, and beer for $10!

Erik A.

The burgers are greasy and the onion rings are more friedness than onion, but I feel like that is expected when you look at Tasty Burger's Facade and location next to Fenway Stadium. Don't get me wrong, I love greasy food, why else do I keep ordering the Butta' Burger with Bacon?! It is good, but afterwards I always feel like I am going to have a mini heart attack. There are outdoor picnic tables which are always in the sun... I wish they had umbrellas, too! Though, there is also an indoor dining space, complete with a bar and pool table. The interior is much nicer than the outside, Prices are cheap and the burgers are yummy and greasy, not a place I could go everyday on lunch break though!

Love the chargrilled burgers. Very tasty and they wrap the to-go burger in this neat wrapper that makes eating and driving no so bad. The burger was juicy, decent sized and packed with flame grilled flavor. The fries were just ok. I would definetly go here again. I ordered to-go this time but next time i think i will have a seat and eat-in. The atmosphere seems like a place i wouldn't mind.

I'm experiencing Yelp-rage reading some of these reviews that whine about the burgers not being "cooked." Nothing makes me sadder than a gray, blah-colored burger. You can keep your edible hockey pucks, please. I adore Tasty Burger. On especially reckless days, nothing beats a burger, fries and a milkshake. Tasty Burger understands your inner fat kid.

Chris B.

Do you want a big, fat, juicy burger? Then you want a Tasty Burger! Whether you go for the traditional (single, or double) or you go Big Kahuna or Butter Burger this place has plenty to chose from so you can satisfy your burger hunger. To top it off, if you want a hot dog, some tasty boneless wings (nuggets) or onion straws, Tasty Burger has you covered in those departments as well. And last but not least - the shakes. Overall, this place is GREAT. The only potential downside is their rendition of "rare". Some would say it is under-cooked - some would say it is a perfectly done "rare" - so if you prefer warm pink center, or more 'done' than that let them know to keep it on the grill a bit longer. Did I mention a great beer selection? Ok, it is time for me to stop writing and get over there and eat a burger...

Had an awful experience at this Tasty Burger location last night. I was excited to bring my friend from RI to Tasty Burger, I had hyped up the place for awhile. We are both huge movie buffs and I was excited to show him the really cool Pulp Fiction picture along with have some of the delicious food. The problem wasn't the food whatsoever, it was out server. We seated ourselves, as the sign says to do, than after waiting a bit a guy came over and threw two menus on our table without saying anything and then just completely turned his back and went to do something else. Eventually when he came back he didn't say hello, or ask how we were tonight, just asked if we were ready to order. No refills on either of our drinks either. I was so confused. We both felt extremely uncomfortable and tried to order/eat as fast as we could so we could get out of there as soon as possible. The server never talked to us, just asked if we were ready to order. As much as I love that place I never plan to go back because of that experience. When my friend and I left we both looked at each other with confusing asking what we could've done to make this guy treat us so poorly. He obviously shouldn't be a server if he has no people skills. I'm giving this review two starts because the food is good, otherwise I wouldn't bother giving any for this visit. It's sad because any time I'm in the area for a baseball game or movie screening I insist on stopping at Tasty Burger, never again.

went here before the sox game, kinda busy but everything was great. i got the spicy jalapeno burger with fries, just right. i got the single for 5 bucks, but i think it was kinda small, probably should have got the double. pretty good and cheap beer menu, i would go back.

I ordered a cheeseburger with 50/50 cheese fries & onion rings. Tasted great! If I'm ever in Boston I will def go back.

As far as food in the Fenway area goes, this is as good as it gets. It's open late, cheap, and consistently delicious. I've been there in the neighborhood of a dozen times with a variety of friends and family and no one has ever left disappointed. The service is very quick, the quality of the food is always exceptional, and the atmosphere is cool. This is the type of place that tourists should seek out when coming to visit. Good for vegetarians.

Oh Tasty Burger! My son and I need grease. No hold bar dirty grease. After the movies we headed out to Tasty Burger. Double Blue Cheese and Onion Strings. Ah the juice burger hit the spot. The Onion Strings were perfect. My gas tank of fat was full and happy. Service was excellent. The inside dining area was a nice blend of college kids and people in search of heart disease. I still confused by the parking. The lot said $6 but we found a space on the street so all is good. Tasty Burger is added to me list of wonderful places to go when I need a fix of fat. Two thumbs up (four if you include my son)!

Strike that, my apologies, I confused the prices with another burger establishment nearby. Pricing for the burgers are actually $4.50 to $5.50 and $7.50 for a Hamburger/Cheeseburger combo. Went by again recently around 1:30 in the morning with a few friends after a late night, even though they closed at 2, the staff were more than merry enough to let us stay a little bit later. Service was very quick and fast, and even though my appeal for Tasty Burgers burger are sub par, they're still filling and tasty none the less. We had 2 pitchers of beer, quick, cold and very cheap and had a good night hanging out and talking with the staff about crazy drunken nights and about the holiday season. Honestly, I've had better burgers, but the atmosphere, beers, staff and the joy/experience of being at Tasty Burger is what makes it awesome. Go with friends! Makes the experience so much better, and thanks so much to the staff for serving us late! Much love!

Tasty Burger is conveniently located to where I work. I tried the gorgonzola burger and confused the new cashier by doing so. Poor guy. I used the "take away" window and noted that they should probably have an order window to facilitate the large late-night crowds I expect they get. I'd also suggest a loud speaker because I barely heard my name being called. The burger was just fine, albeit mighty drippy. The gorgonzola sauce seemed to have unmelted, shredded cheese in it (weird!) and scallions (yum!). I'll go back to try the fries as I hear they're good. And I do love the fact that you can get an order of half fries/half rings. GENIUS!

Tasty Burger does not serve the best burgers that I've ever had but they do what they do better than any place that I've ever been to. Either they lucked out or someone trained the shit out of their window girl because she was custom tailored to take orders from drunk people and be awesome. If you are a smart man you'll order your burger like they tell you, medium, and get a tasty morsel that's a perfect metaphor for your heart, black and charred on the outside, pink and tender when you manage to break through. When you get your grease stained bag you'll be a happy drunkard and they aren't giving away those bags of happiness but you could do a lot worse.

Loved the interior! Very creative, not too overdone, chill yet cozy atmosphere allows for lots of different occasions to be held. Waitresses are really friendly and helpful. Kinda slow with service because they chat a bit with other customers, but if you're not in a rush to the movies it's not unbearable. The burger was probably one of the juiciest burgers I've ever had! Not juicy like typical fast food chains like McDonalds or Wendy's, but with quality meat and good bun. Would definitely come here before every movie :)

2nd visit at Tasty Burger and another underwhelming experience. Meh meh meh. You basically need to order heavily condimented burger with lots of stuff on it to cover the mediocre taste of the meat.

used to work in the kenmore area and would want cheap, late night food. 50/50 sausage gravy..HOLY f@CK. so good. gravy is amazing. if i get that with a burger i'm usually stuffed. honestly i'll save half of the 50/50 for a snack later. i've dined in, gotten take out and called in orders. all have been great. one time went after work for beers and burgers. my burger seemed to take forever. And they used the wrong cheese. bartender was totally on it and went back to get the right one. the re fire unfortunately took just as long. bartender apologized and said don't worry you're not even paying for it when it does come. finally got it and devoured it. shit happens, i work in the industry, i was just glad to get my burger. other times i've dined in food/service is awesome. even their salads are good...which is saying something for a burger joint. keep an eye out for their burger of the day. usually some last minute creation. some are intriguing. others are not. always worth checking out though if you want something more exotic than what's on their menu. Take out window service is awesome. there's an order and a pick up window. person at the order window is always friendly. i usually make the jerk mistake of putting my burger order in, add LTO...then remember oh, sub a turkey patty. i guess the way their system is set up...if you're modifying the patty (veggie, turkey, extra, etc) you need to do that first. felt like a total jerk making the girl start over but she was like "no no prob at all" and had it done in 10 seconds. calling in orders...hmph. one time they forgot a burger. huge fail as it was family dinner night back at moms and someone didn't have a burger ended up calling a place that delivered and more in the neighborhood. FAIL. although i did tell my brother he should have counted the burgers since it was a big order. called and the mgr said i could come back the next day and get it ...never got around to it. kinda wish he gave me some sort of credit or gift card..idk. a more recent call in order was flawless though. the person on the phone even repeated the order back and gave me a total (money and also like, okay so that's 5 burgers total). maybe they started doing this because burgers were missing more than once? but when my dad came home with the bags of burgers and fries everything was accounted for. faith was restored for calling in orders. Pricing is super reasonable. I prefer this place over UBurger. but not over 5 guys. Sorry, i just love five guys' fries. Also all of 5 guys toppings are free so that's kind of a no brainer. but if you're in the neighborhood head over to tasty burger and that's just what you'll get!! TB FOR LIFE

Some might not agree, but I think these are the best burgers ever! So far I tried hamburger, Cheeseburger, Onion and the Gorgonzola one [If you like veggies on your burger make sure to ask for them otherwise you end up with the buns, patty, and lots of gorgonzola]. I think the gorgonzola is my favorite so far. I love their fries!

After Eagles deli went down the drain with their remodel, I didn't really have a go-to burger joint for a long while. Thankfully, Tasty Burger opened in Fenway to fill the void and my belly. It's like a dressed up fast-food burger and it is delicious. The Hubba burger and the chocolate shake is what hits the spot for me. Good place for a casual dinner or quick lunch.

This is my first Yelp review, and since I have spent extensive time here...I can think of no better place to start chatting then on Tasty Burger. As a former employee of the company, I can personally say there is barely any bad things to say about this establishment behind the scenes or out in the dining area. Let's keep this as easy on the eyes as possible. Pros: !-Atmosphere-! When walking down Boylston St., the outside retro look of Tasty is quite eye catching and a gem among a pile of old New England brick foundation. The building practically draws you in just on sheer curiosity along at first glace. Upon entrance, the old garage turned restaurant gives a very open and airy industrial feel...combined with the colorful pop art, sit down bar, good music and casual college/working crowd is very trendy and suave. !-Service-! The staff at Tasty has always been my reason for continued service and my loyalty when working with the company. Lem, Marina, Brent, Greg, Michelle, Cam, Miguel, Paul to name a few, are great personalities that that suit the atmosphere of Tasty well. Always a friendly, helpful, and hard working bunch of people who know how to treat their guests right. !-Bar-! - 3 HD's with 3 different channels to suit your taste. A good selection of common & un-common brews, as well as a fair selection of local brews which taste great. !-Food-! Original and creative daily specials, wide variety of topping combinations. From some various reviews I saw, people spent time complaining about the greasy pool the burgers and sides are left in...I found this enthralling and to be apart of the grilled burger experience...Burgers and Dogs are supposed to be messy and greasy. Ironically Enough, even though the place is "Tasty Burger", The burgers are my least favorite. The award here goes to their Dogs, Onion Rings and Shakes. If you want to leave with a full belly and a burp of satisfaction, order a 1/2 pound dog and strings. You won't be disappointed. Suggested favorites here include: Hubba Burger w/ Bacon Blue Collar Chicken and Waffles Special Lettuce Wrap Turkey Burger All-The-Way Dog Chili Cheese Dog w/ Gauc !-Convenience-! If you are going to a Red Sox game, DO NOT BUY FOOD AT THE GAME...take a little extra time, walk up to the Tasty Take-Out Window and order some food that is 2x cheaper. Tasty is conveniently right next to Fenway Park Gate D. With Tasty's fast service and fair prices, you can easily grab a full meal within 5-10 mins and be back at Yawkey way before you can say "That's a good Tasty Burger" CONS: There has only been 2 things that have ever bothered me about Tasty. 1. The normal hamburgers/cheeseburgers are bland and tasteless... The toppings are the only saving grace to the burger itself and can not stand alone. 2. The fries are also bland and leave a weird after taste...almost cardboardy... I have suggested Tasty to many of my friends, co-workers, and family. Tasty will always be on my list of great places to stop in when looking for affordable, delicious and unique twists on old american favorites.

I'm a fan, for sure. Tasty Burger is to BK/ Mc D's what Panera is to DD's. But it's better than Panera, much... Got me? Quick, funky, fun, good food for all ages. Service is fast but not in a bad way. Prices are fab, there's even a student deal for $10. Exceptional fresh ground (natch) turkey burger was a surprise. Fries and rings are greasy, inhalable goodness. Love love love the beer selection. My suggestion - build one in every town PLEASE!!! The concept has legs for sure.

Today was my first experience at Tasty Burger. I have decided it should be called by a different name: RAW BURGER. That's right, RAW. Maybe it was tasty, to people who enjoy eating live cows, but for those of us who prefer cooked meat, it was not ideal. The restaurant advertises that they cook the burgers "medium" and that if you want it cooked more, you need to ask. I assumed that "medium" actually meant "cooked", so I did not specify. For example, at UBurger (which is better), they advertise the same thing, but their burgers are COOKED. I ate here with a group of friends, and everyone's burger was under-cooked (i.e. pink/purple colored). Stupidly, we all ate our burgers and we are all now concerned that we will be sick by tomorrow. Let's hope we are wrong. Two of my friends requested that the burgers be cooked more when they ordered. One of them got what she asked for, the other got a pink burger. The "hand cut" fries are decent, but I would not call them great. They were very greasy (as were the onion rings). The only positive thing that happened was when one of my friends returned his soda because it was basically seltzer water, and they gave him a soda bottle. I was thinking about returning to try them again, but the more I think about it, I don't see that happening. I'll stick with UBurger.

Went to tasty burger for the first time last night and oh was it TASTY! We quickly got seated for a table of two. The atmosphere was funky fun, with music playing, cool art work on the walls and tables equipped with all the condiments you would want! My friend and I asked what the best burger was: the host recommended the jalapeÃ±o burger but I'm not one to hit that type of heat so he recommended the ultimate "the tasty burger". Oh yes it was delicious! Perfect size to the patty, juicy, great toppings and nice bun. Okay I'm salivating all over again. We also ordered the onion strings and fries. Those were salty deliciousness. My only gripe would be that I like my fries a thicker cut and might have preferred waffle fries. And I also like onion rings but strings but that is a minor detail. I would definitely recommend this place! Can't wait to go back again!

Meliza Anne M.

DON'T EVER GET THEIR TURKEY BURGERS! Seriously, it tastes like vomit. I get that they tried to be all cute and "gourmet" by shoving little onions in there to add flavor - but it really just looked like a terrible attempt at masking the flavor of the turkey meat, which I'm assuming would be bland otherwise (if that were even possible AM I RIGHT?!). Their beef burgers were..... O.K. It was nice that they let me mask the taste of the burger with other fixins. But I hate the idea of having to pay $5-6 for a burger I could have made at home (MUCH BETTER). If these are the standards for burger joints, I'm going to open my own and send you guys OUTTTTTTAAA HERE!!!! Your fries are .. cute. I didn't realize the sausage gravy was way too salty. Ew. It's very clear that you're masking your lack of flavors with so much other stuff. You're trying to make a 1-star reject into a 5-star honey, and it's just not working. Don't be THAT girl that puts on so much make up that she deceives people into thinking that she is gorgeous. Just don't do it.

Great burger, lots of options, shakes are great too. The Onion Burger was probably the best burger I've had in the past year, it was juicy and the onions were perfect. I had the Green Monster shake which really hit the spot. I'm looking forward to heading there again, a nice place to go for a casual burger lunch.

This place is everything a good burger place should be. It has a small menu, but every option is a good one, and it took me a long time to make up my mind. At least now I have plenty of excuses to return. It's set up in an old garage, and this environment works very well for it. It's noisy, and seating is tight, but this place is not about frills. The bacon cheeseburger was amazing. Cooked perfectly, nice and greasy with the cheese nice and gooey. The fries were also really good, and not too salty. Having beer and milkshakes is a nice touch as well. My chocolate shake completed this all American meal nicely. I highly recommend this place for any burger lover. Oh, and the prices are great too!

*sigh* i am sad to say that my loyalty to in&out as a californian is becoming weaker and weaker. I have been on the east coast for way too long. I came to tasty burger for the first time with a friend on a whim at 10pm on a week night. and it was pure deliciousness. We got our burger order to-go and by the time i got home, the bottom of my paper bag was soaked in oil and grease. that may sound gross to some of you but to me it just made the whole experience that much more appealing. The burger was super juicy and it was dripping with melting cheese. Since this epic night, I have gone back again and have been checking the tasty burger website often to see what their daily hamburger special is. Since it is open daily until 2am, it gives me ample time each night to debate whether or not I want to be gross and eat a second dinner or to test my self-control and surpass whatever yumminess they are serving that day. I can't wait until Sunday so I can try their chicken and waffles sandwich. Fried chicken between two waffles covered in sausage gravy and served with maple syrup. Enough said.

I like this place. The burgers are yummy, and a good size, at least for me. For the menfolk buddies of mine, they seem to be kind of on the small side, compared to a standard "restaurant burger". (You can always double the meat for a small fee!) Burger doesn't come with anything, so make sure you order the 50/50 fries/onion rings. Keep in mind that you're going to get shoestring fries and really thin onion rings (haven't had this style before, but they're surprisingly addictive!) They have beer (draft and bottled) and wine. Also, they totally have a sack-o'-burgers that you can take away for those 1AM nights that you crave 5 cheeseburgers. Open late for all your drunken dining needs! If you're non-drunk-dining, it's still delicious, but keep in mind that there might be a bit of a wait, especially during Red Sox season. They're pretty small, but keep things moving pretty fast with their good service!

A place that serves food is open 'til 2 A.M in Boston? Beer? Really Good Veggie Burgers? $5?! Decent Fries? Convenient Location? Really nice waitress? You've sold this night-owl, party hardy, vegetarian girl who needed some grub before falling into bed. My belly may be back soon.

Hands down, this place is THE best burger place in town! It beats Five Guys any day of the week. Not just because of the wonderful burgers (try the Gorgonzola, Spicy JalapeÃ±o, or the CLASSIC Vermont Butter Burger) but also because of the wait staff! It gets pretty rowdy in there (what with it being right next to Fenway Park) and the girls that wait on you always know how to serve your dish, take your orders and STILL leave you wanting to come back for more. Elizabeth and Marina are FANTASTIC and always make me want to come back again! Lem behind the bar can take your drink order, bring you a hot dog (they call them 'shafts' here, dirty huh?) and shake that Magic 8 Ball on the counter for ya. It's like hanging out with friends amidst a buncha drunk Red Sox fans! Too bad they aren't utilizing the space outside because not only could the wait staff help them too, but it feels like a big empty cafeteria out there. Why "pick up your order to go" if you have such great folks in there to help you? A Boston spot definitely NOT TO BE MISSED!

I ate the "All the Way Dog" and I'm glad I only had one and didn't go for the triple. Yes, I would've walked outta there with a tshirt, but three of those babies would be something you'd have to prepare for. It WAS a fun time eating a hotdog, hamburger, chili, nacho cheese and bacon all on the same bun. The burger my wife ate looked really good. I'd go back just to try the burger. The onion rings were the best I've ever eaten. They used red onions and were just lightly battered; not those big, fat onions rings with a loaf of bread deep fried around each ring. The Green Monster shake was good, too. Give it a try. I'd go back for sure.

We attended a concert at the House of Blues and wanted a late-night bite afterward. Tasty Burger is apparently open until 2 a.m., which is great because we often stay in the Fenway neighborhood when we visit Boston. It was super-cold when we went there, so unfortunately we weren't in the mood to stand at the takeout window and read through the whole menu. We quickly ordered a couple burgers, a large fries, and a soda, and we waited about 5-7 minutes for our order to take it back to our hotel. Everything was correct, tasty, and hot. Price was quite reasonable for the good portion size. I liked the recycled paper wrappers around the burgers. I'll gladly eat their food again.

Good God Almighty. This place is right next to heaven in my mind. First of all, they have this crazy skinny fries and onion strings. Then for two extra clams you can dump cheese (as in REAL melted cheese, not any fake saucy shit), beefy chili, or the MOST AMAZING sausage gravy on the planet on your mountain of deep fried goodness--even better, you can do all three toppings for the same price of one. Daaaaaammmmmn. I could eat that sausage gravy with a spoon, by itself, because it's so good. I don't care that it's going to clog my arteries. The burgers are pretty wicked as well. You can choose how to have them cooked. I recommend medium-rare---cause, that's how it should be. Moooo, baby, mooo.

The Tasty Burger staff rocks. The guys behind the bar know whats up. Jon, the bar tender effing rules. Rocking a Seattle Mariners hat, supporting his hometown can't be an easy working a stones throw from Fenway. So I give him props for that... and he remembers I always go Ghannset. I tried the Turkey Burger on a recent visit and it certainly holds it own compared the all the meaty varieties. It really is full of a rich flavor, the turkey is enhanced with the spice from the chipotle mayo.

Jessie N.

The burgers are legit and the 50/50 basket of onion rings and fries are great. The only thing holding this place back from a five star review is the grease. All burgers are cooked medium or well if you instruct them to. I had the Big Tasty and a cheeseburger and they both hit the spot. The beef patties did not taste frozen and were tender. The place was packed on a Friday night so I suggest getting there a little early for a table. Everything there goes great with a beer. I had wish our server was a little more attentive since he never came back to check up on us but again it was a full house and he was pushing orders.

went on a saturday night at around 2 am, place was packed and had to wait around 30 mins in line for a take out burger, which is fine with me since it's peak time. had the regular cheeseburger and wasn't too impressed, patty was dry and tasteless, but the fries were pretty good. maybe because it was late at night or we weren't sitting inside, but the burger definitely wasn't anything special

went here drunk last night at like 1am and it was awesome. so awesome that i offered a deal to my girlfriend whereby whenever she drives me home when i'm drunk i'll buy her a meal here and she agreed! which is really a win for me too cuz it means more tasty burger. firstly, all the complaints about the prices are ridiculous and unfounded. i got a bacon cheeseburger for $5.50 (i think....) and split the 50/50 fries and rings with my girlfriend which was like $4. so i dunno by what standard $7.50/person is expensive for a meal, but i think it's perfectly reasonable. the burgers are great. quite tasty in fact. and what really does it for me is that they're structurally sound. they aren't dripping grease and ketchup everywhere with lettuce spilling all over the sides and tomatoes falling out. i feel like i could eat one while driving and be fine. it's like a lot of places designed their burgers without any thought paid to the fact that people are actually going to be eating them and don't want to get messy while everything falls out. you know???? not so here. and the atmosphere is perfect - cool decor, low lighting, a bar, pbr tall boys, and good music (they played brand new!!). our server was this girl summer who was a peach. perfectly attentive and even hung out and chatted for a couple minutes and didn't seem annoyed by my drunkeness which, believe me, is a feat in and of itself. and the kicker? they have a big mural on the wall of samuel l jackson in pulp fiction where he's like "mm-MMMMM! that is a TASTY burger!" love it. take your friends here late at night and you'll be a hero.

Decent burgers. Tasty and a nice variety of specialty burgers. fries are just OK. Onion rings are really good - but they do occasionally come out greasy. I definitely go then when I'm in the neighborhood, but wouldn't go out of my way for it. You may need to ask for your burger well done - their 'medium' tends to be closer to raw in the center...

There are many things I love about this place so I'm going to make a handy dandy list. 1. PARKING- for those of us who drive/don't want to walk across the Fens at night, this is key. 2. Alcoholic beverages! Who doesn't love a nice Harpoon IPA with their Butta Burger? 3. They call their hot dogs Shafts... 4. DELICIOUS FRIES!! 5. They tweet burger specials! And they have takeout! LOVE.

Aboud Y.

Loved it! The Tasty might be the best burger in town. Well, to me its a close second to Flat Patties. But it has some other intangibles going for it that will ensure its on my regular playlist (i.e., a liquor license and 2am closing time). A breakdown: Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger -- Delicious! Fries -- Done right! Milkshakes -- Not bad...its cool ese, its cool. Slushies -- Goodness Tortilla Chips and Guacamole -- Surprisingly good...and fresh! Now the gripes: -- Service is slow and not the friendliest -- Veggie burger is a complete afterthought (no complaints from me but my unfortunate herbivore friends have nothing good to eat here) -- Hummus? Why do they have this on the menu? Un-tasty -- Chi Dog? Really? You call chopped lettuce and a friggin pickle on a dog Chicago style? Sacrilege! If their burgers weren't so darn good I might ban this place just based on this atomically stupid menu item Anyhow...psyched that this place exists and I'll most definitely be back.

I love the cheapness, the quickness, and the deliciousness. This is the place I pictured the wimpy slackers from Pulp Fiction hitting up for some munchies before getting lit up by Jules and Vin. And I frigging love the fact that it's in an old car shop. I don't know why, but I just love the idea. The burger was deeeelish. I got the Mushroom & Swiss, which was packed with juicy shrooms just like I like it, and we all split cheese fries with gravy on the side. I definitely wanna go back to try the shoestring rings and a "5$" vanilla shake. A few complaints make this place come up shy of 5 stars. For one, the infamous slippery floor. This is an issue that can easily be solved by putting a few simple rubber stoppers on the chair legs. Also, I wish they asked for burger done-ness preference. I like my burgers bloody-as-hell, and though the one I received was delish, it was more towards the burnt-to-a-crisp end of thangs. Either way, I will be back. And probably soon.

So last night after a fun evening with friends, "Hey, let's grab some food at Tasty Burger on the way home!" , and the journey begins. We decide to order our food and get it to go. As we browse the menu, the two other patrons are openly frustrated at how long it has taking to receive their order but it's ignored and dismissed, first mistake on our part. Of the 5 people in the "take out ordering area" 3 are waiting to place orders. At this point there is no less than 6 people behind the double windows milling about confused worker bee's without their queen. The first 2 guys receive their food and it's another 5 minutes before the magic window reopens to take orders. I step up and order a standard Gorgonzola Burger and I made it a double and I pay. My friend orders the same plus a milk shake and he pays. We wait the next 2 minutes as the cashier works out how to make change. BRO, the big number on the screen is telling you what is owed, what the freak is the difficulty? You're not being asked to do math using an abacus! The guy after us orders the same burger but with fries. We wait. 10 minutes go by, by friend receives his food. The guy that ordered behind him received his food and walks off. I continue to wait. The guy returns and knocks on the widow "The fries are ice cold" The kid picks a few up and says "Wow, I don't know how that happened, I will get a fresh batch for you". I interrupt and ask, where is mine, I ordered my burger 2 orders before his and my friends. We wait. Another 10 minutes later, the guys fries that should have been hot is now handed out. By this point there are at least 8 people in kitchen area, in different phases of walking in a circle, sitting around, on their cell phones, talking personal calls on the order line, etc, etc, etc!!! I wait. Another 10 minutes go by before I get my burger - WTF. In total. I waited nearly 30 minutes for a fucking burger! One may ask, well what do you expect from a bunch of kids working for minimum wage at midnight. My reply is; it's the same at Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, Sonic, etc, etc, etc. I have never and I never will again, go to Shitty Service Burger! Wendy's on Mass Ave is packed at this time of night and the line is typically near the door. You are ordering your food within 10 minutes and you receive your food within 5. You may ask "that's only half the time, what's the big deal in waiting 15 minutes?" If you are asking this, then you fail to realize that I just said this is at peak, there is long queue near the door. There was a line of 3 at Shitty Service Burger, you make the choice it will be Wendy's for me in the future or hell, Bk is just across the street from SSB!

This place was amazing. I had been craving a burger for a long time my experience was more than satisfying. It was cool, funky, had great service and the food was greasy glory. If you have even a slight phobia of grease, do not go near this place. However if sloppy 5 napkin burgers are your thing, this place is MECCA. I had the jalapeno burger and added chili, my boyfriend had the blue collar burger. Both were outstanding! I can see how one might find a burger with a deep fried patty intimidating, but it was delicious and totally manageable. The pinnacle of the experience was FRIES with SAUSAGE GRAVY! The sausage gravy had actual chunks of flavorful sausage. For drinks I got the lemon mint slushie which was like the best mojito ever in slurpee form (minus the alcohol). He got the raspberry lime ricky, also very tasty and refreshing. This is my new favorite burger place in Boston.

Fuck! Like, the food was OK and the service was great, but the prices?! I mean, I've put in on an 8-Ball with friends and felt like I got more... $8 for a hot dog?! Sure, it's big, but unless Nathan from Coney Island is going down on me, what did I just spend $8 on?! You can get a foot long with a coke at Costco for $2! FML. :(

After my disaster at Five Napkin I was hesitant to try any burgers. But I was assured this place was delicious. I was not disappointed. The coolest part about this place is that it's an old gas station. It's obvious once you step in but it's so cool the way they fixed it up. We sat down at the bar and ordered some burgers. We were told to ask for lettuce and tomato because they won't put it on if you don't ask. My friend and I also split an order of large fries. We love fries and that basket was more than enough for the both of us. Our bartender was very friendly and efficient. For students they have some specials which I would have been glad to take advantage of a few years back. Beer selection is also cheap and descent for the small joint it is.

With a great selection of burgers, dogs, shakes,and beers, Tasty Burger is a quick eats establishment you MUST visit in Fenway. The staff is great, the atmosphere is alive and kickin, and you will not wait long for your food. This place is great in group settings because it has a burger for all types plus a pool table to lounge around and entertain you before or after you eat. My recommendation: Start off with the 50/50 (fries and onion rings). Love Spicy? Get the Spicy JalapeÃ±o Were you that random kid that ate sticks of butter when you were younger? Yeah, they cater to you too with the Butta Burger. Cheese Snob? Gorgonzola burger is right up your ally On a "diet"? haha, yeah right... get the Turkey Burger. There are a ton of good choices that will fit what you like and come Spring when the Sox pick up again this place will be packed!

I came here to satisfy a serious burger craving. We ordered a cheeseburger and onion burger cooked well. My fiance said his cheeseburger was plain and just okay and I thought my onion burger was a bit too salty. The patties were juicy even when well done. We also had the 50/50 fries, onion rings basket and it was a huge disappointment. The fries were not crispy as the waitress promised and the onion rings seem to be the broken short reject pieces from the bottom of the barrel. The black and white shake was just okay for me. It was a little too thin and runny for an ice cream shake.

I found myself needing a late lunch today in Fenway. And with Samuel L. Jackson's voice in my head, "That IS a tasty burger!", I went on over. I saddled up to the bar and was welcomed by an extremely friendly (yet not annoyingly so) bartender (Anika). The Spicy JalapeÃ±o Burger made its way into my belly, and then the guac/hummus/tortilla chip plate. Both were good, but the only thing I wished for was way more guac. You've got about 3,000 chips and about an ice cream scoop of guac, with more hummus. Unless the tortilla plate is all you're having, there's no way you could possibly ingest that many chips, alone. That said, everything was fresh! There's a photo of an orangutan on the counter for no reason, other than it's funny (I asked), and there's a grinning Fonzie silkscreen over by the hallway to the bathrooms. Some really cool artwork of the city on the left wall, too. But the crowning glory of art here is a gigantic portrait of Samuel L. Jackson in character from Pulp Fiction. EFFING AWESOME. Also, I love it when people are friendly and welcoming, something that's kinda hard to find in Boston. I'll be back, Anika!

My favorite place in Boston after 1am! Delicious onion rings, burgers, shakes and nitro nuggets. I will stumble from across town to this place for a late night meal. Worth it.

I moved to Boston 1.5 years ago from Louisiana...where the burgers are heaven! I seriously started to think that finding a good burger in the Boston area was a lost cause...until I found Tasty Burger yesterday after a quick trip to Guitar Center! The patty. That's where it's at. It's not too thick being only 6 oz...that's my kind of patty. For those of you who like more meat, every burger has a "double" patty option. I ordered the onion burger...omg! The onions were perfectly caramelized and the cheese was oh-so-cheesy. My husband and I were able to share a fry, which were also very good, and what better to accompany burger and fries as a nice cold draft Stella? Nothing, I say. For two really, really good burgers (one being a double) some fries and a cold beer, I'd pay the $22 any day. Glad I took the risk of going in Tasty Burger rather than walking another several blocks for a sub par Subway sandwich (pun intended). Oh yeah, the service was fantastic! Nicest dude ever and we were in and out in 25 minutes...

I was really excited that a "real" burger joint has open around Fenway area. The facade of the place is SOooooo cute! I love the 50s / 60s diner type of design for this burger place. Inside, the place has a very casual atmosphere with a pool table in the corner. My hubby and his friends love all the burgers that they tried. The SHAKE is amazing! The only that that I would not recommend to eat is the pineapple / terayaki burger. For some reason, it wasn't a good combination for burger. I guess I just stick with the usual that I always ordered, which is cheeseburger with onions and mushrooms. One good thing about this place is that it opens to 2am. So a good place to go when you are wasted and need something greasy to eat!

I wanted to like Tasty Burger. I really did. It's a dumpy old gas station that has been transformed into an adorable diner-like burger joint. Unfortunately, this place didn't get it right. There are only two ways to run a burger joint: 1) A very cheap and plain but seriously solid burger like In-N-Out's $2.95 deal or 2) Pricey but delicious gourmet treat like SDLT's $14 burger. Tasty is neither. ATMOSPHERE - I agree with one of the previous reviewers that organizationally, the place is a little strange. There's an indoor seating area where you get waiter service but there's also a tiny "to go" window outside, which is the first thing you visually see when you approach Tasty. I initially ordered at the "to go" window thinking that I just took my burger with me to self seat only to find out that's not the way it works. And you have to pay for parking for the privilege of eating here? SERVICE - We were the only people seated and the wait time to receive our burgers was 15 minutes. That is awfully slow for what I consider to be fast food. FOOD - Hamburger - Judging a good burger means eating it without all the dressings and frills that just disguises the meat flavour so I ordered a plain one for $4. The bun is a regular bun that was flat and soggy, which I don't understand given it should have gone straight from the kitchen to my table. One major criticism is that it's the saddest patty I've ever had. According to the menu, it's tenderloin, which is expensive for sure but I'm not sure an appropriate cut since it's so lean. The patty was so overcooked - super dry, beyond well done, and completely lacking meat flavour. It was like eating particle board in the shape of a patty. Pile of Onion Strings - The only reason this place didn't get 1* from me is because of these onion strings. I love onion rings but what it inevitably ends up being is a hollow tube of dough with a thin string of onion inside. These onions are finely julienned, lightly battered, and then fried. The problem is that they are so finely cut that they lack substance. You need a serious handful to get any onion flavour. Having said that, it was an interesting take on onion rings and I appreciate that. I'm willing to consider my lackluster meal to be new restaurant blues and consider revisiting down the road. However, if I am to have another burger in the future for $4 to $5.50, I expect it to be slightly better in quality than what I can get across the street at BK. UPDATE: On a side note, I received a distasteful email from the owner accusing me of attacking his personal livelihood by posting a negative review, that "Yelpers view businesses as an object and not a collection of other human beings," that we publish reviews to fulfill a sense of self importance, and that I misrepresented the truth. After rereading my review, it stands and continues to accurately reflect my experience at Tasty and for $4, there are definitely better choices in town (UBurger and Flat Patties). If you lose business for serving a mediocre burger, that's on you, not Yelpers.

This place was everything I needed it to be: * A basic burger with good flavor * Good Music * Super Quick and friendly service * A1 and Brown mustard as standard table condiments! (I hate plain old mustard and ketchup)

I love pulp fiction and really wanted to come here to see the giant Samuel L Jackson picture of him eating a tasty burger. While the picture was spectacular, we were hungry and ordered lunch before heading to a Red Sox v Cubs game. Not only were the prices reasonable, beer and hamburger selection bountiful, but they served beer in pitchers. They also had my favorite beer, yuengling, on tap! I'm from CA so it's a big deal when I can have yuengling, especially on draft. I ordered a classic tasty burger and it was delicious. The meat was cooked just right and the special sauce was quite tasty. Based on yelp recommendations, we ordered the half fries half onion rings, which was perfect. The onion rings were the shoestring kind and disappeared quickly; kind of wish we ordered another. I enjoyed looking at the eating challenge wall of fame and wish I could have seen someone try it. There was plenty of seating, a large bar area, AC, and even a pool table. I would definitely recommend coming here before heading to fenway or any time you feel like having a burger and quoting some of the great lines from Pulp Fiction.

This place lives up to its name! I feel like this is what it might have been like to visit the very first McDonald's back in the 50s: no frills, take out window, picnic benches for dining outside in the parking lot. We stopped in to grab a quick meal before catching a movie, and quick it was! But also delicious! My bf ordered a single patty cheeseburger, I went against the grain and got the chili cheese hot dog. We rounded out the order with some french fries (they only come in one size, apparently) and a small Coke to share, but we a little annoyed that the cashier didn't offer up one of the combo deals to save us a buck and change. Oh well, live and learn. It was a nice night, so we ate outside. I had a bite of the cheeseburger and admonished myself for not getting that, but I was pretty happy with my dog. The fries were perfectly salted and really good. I would definitely eat here again! Maybe I'll see what the inside looks like next time.

The burger was good, but the service was awful. I stood at the take out window for 12 minutes after the previous customer before my order was taken, and when I got my food my burger, side, and drink were all wrong. The employee was not happy to get me the onion rings I ordered (instead of the fries I got) or the coke I ordered (instead of the diet I got), so I didn't even bother trying to exchange the tasty burger I got for the bacon cheese burger I ordered. And the shake I got was lacking in flavor. If Shake Shack expands in to Boston, Tasty Burger will be over if tonight's experience is anything to go by.

I have gone to Tasty Burger since last year when they celebrated their one year anniversary with a $1 burger back last September. Since then, I have not looked back and brought many friends here to have a reasonably priced and delicious burger. Though slightly pricier than fast food burgers, it is totally worth it while not charging you an arm and a leg either. Their burgers are delicious and I love their lime rickeys too! Even one of my friends from Korea would go many times over and over again due to his love for Tasty Burger! The toppings are fresh and the burgers are each freshly cooked to order. Truthfully, I think they edge out In and Out (which I do love them too!). You have a choice of dine in or dine out (outside) and save on tip too! Whenever I am in the Fenway area, I have to stop by and grab a burger while I am there.

Tasty Burger is unfortunately close to home - this just means I'm tempted to go all the time! I've never had the burgers, but the hot dogs are great, as are the fries and shakes. I usually get takeout and the service is always pretty quick and the food is very fresh. The people I've dealt with at the windows are all friendly as well! And this place is open til 2 so its great when you're leaving the bars/clubs on Lansdowne and hungry. UPDATE 2/19 I've been here a couple of times late at night, and I don't know if they're assuming that everyone will be too drunk to notice, but the hotdogs aren't cooked NEARLY as well for the late night crowd. Makes me sad because it used to be my go-to late night place, but now I'm inclined to get crap pizza instead. Thus the downgrade to 4 stars - I still love this place normally!

Ooooooooh Tasty Burger. You are the hangover cure I've been waiting for! A couple of my friends live right by Tasty and have been regulars since they moved to Fenway. They kept "checking in" on Facebook and raving about it all the time so my boyfriend and I decided it must be deserving of a special trip. I, like many other people, believe that In-N-Out Burger is the top-dog when it comes to "fast food" burgers. I can safely say that after having a Tasty Burger, they are a very close second to INO. A very close second. As in, I'm glad I don't live in Fenway because I'd be a Tasty Burger addict and would weigh 250 pounds. I wish the burger menu had a bit more to offer, but I'm sure they just know what they do well and feel there's no need to offer more. Legit. Go here. With or without a hangover. JUST GO.

BEWARE OF ANGRY AND POSSIBLY VIOLENT STAFF. Last saturday, my boyfriend, his family and I decided to go to Tasty Burger after the Red Sox game. We sat down and after a while our waiter eventually came over to take our drink orders. When it was time to take our food orders, he stopped my boyfriend's brother in the middle of his order to watch what was on the television... When my boyfriend's brother's girlfriend hesitated during her order, he immediately said "I'll come back" and ran off. Rude, but we let it go. My boyfriend and I are currently waiters, and everyone else at the table had been waiters at some point in their life, so we are very understanding and patient when eating at restaurants. After our food was brought to us (by a different server), he never came over to check how everything was or get us more drinks. We asked him for the check and waited another 10-15 minutes before one of my boyfriend's brothers waved him over to ask for the check again. The waiter stopped and glared at us. He then said, "Never do this (talking about the waving) to me again. It's rude." We were shocked. None of us were trying to be rude, we just wanted our check! And even if it was rude.. DEAL WITH IT. That's his job as a waiter to deal with the public. He continued to argue with us and yell, saying that we were being rude. After exchanging more words about his disrespect, we asked for the manager. Instead of getting the manager, our waiter printed out the check and threw it on our table. After realizing the manager wasn't coming over, one of my boyfriend's brothers went and got him himself. We calmly explained the situation and it was immediately evident that this manager has no control over his staff. All he said was, "I'm sorry, I'll definitely talk to him." He was polite, but I just don't think that was the appropriate way to handle a waiter who yells and argues with his customers. As we were talking to the manager, the waiter was standing to the side glaring at us. Once the manager walked away, rather than apologizing, the waiter comes over and starts yelling at us again! He then said to us, "NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE IN HEAR AGAIN, OR THAT'S A WRAP." Yes, the waiter THREATENED us. He continued yelling at us and began putting his hands on one of my boyfriend's brothers' chest in a very aggressive manner, getting angrier and angrier. Then, he pulled our chairs out behind us and said "GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY RESTAURANT!" I repeat. The WAITER told us to get out of "HIS" restaurant. All the while, the manager was not doing a thing. We left and asked to speak to the manager outside. We were so frustrated at this point. He apologized, but flat out said there was nothing he could do. He said it was a saturday night, they were busy and he needed the waiter to stay. This manager has absolutely no control over his staff and that is why his waiters act like complete animals. I'm not positive of the manager's name, I think it might have been Dave, he was an African American male with longer hair. I don't remember the waiter's name either because it was something exotic, "Issa" maybe? Either way, I am absolutely disgusted with this type of service and will never ever eat there again. This is not the first time I have had poor service there. The staff is always unfriendly and inattentive and just plain rude. For example, one time my friend and I were given small sodas but were charged for larges. When we POLITELY asked the waiter to change it she got frustrated saying "If you don't want to pay for your sodas fine!" But, still didn't end up adjusting the bill. My point is, this restaurant is OUT OF CONTROL. The only reason why they are in business is because they are located right by Fenway and in a college/touristy area. The food is good, but you might as well go down the street to burger king where you would definitely get better service. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't tolerate/reward this kind of behavior by taking your business there!!! There are plenty of other good restaurants in the area that don't treat their customers this way. What if a fight had broken out? Customers or even worse, children, could've gotten seriously injured all because of the angry staff that works there! This is by far the worst restaurant experience any of us had ever had. I really hope you keep this review in mind the next time you think about eating there. We had done nothing to provoke such angry and rude behavior from the waiter, so I can only imagine what he does when dealing with actually difficult customers. This restaurant does not deserve to be in business so please do not help keep it that way!

Casual place good for hanging out with friends or a lunch with co-workers. Colorful art line the interior, giving this place a youthful/modern vibe without going overboard. Had the Kahuna Burger --pineapple, teriyaki sauce and caramelized onions-- which was a little on the sweet side but still tasty and juicy. It's a fun place if you're looking for something low-key and not too expensive but still nice.

Doesn't compare to Five Guys. Fair to good burgers. Limited toppings. The fries were terrible (threw them away, yuck). Fenway location is full of attitude for a QSR. Did I mention that Tasty Burger doesn't compare to Five Guys?

One of the best burgers I've ever had, and certainly the cheapest. $5.50 for the burger I got is an amazing price, especially in the city. I will definitely go back to Fenway location, cool spot, free parking and friendly staff. The chili is amazing also!

Dropping kiddo off for freshman year at college. Between elation and depression we headed here with his roomie's family after a quick trip to Staples for some things we needed. Yelped a nearby burger place bc that's what the consensus was. Yay Yelp! What a fun place! Great decor, outside picnic table (too hot for me), inside some great wall art, lots of condiments on the tables and that great retro vibe. Such fun when they opened the garage doors for some fresh air. 5-stars for a burger joint, not compared to a 5-star fine dining restaurant - I had a veggie burger which although pretty fried was still quite yummy. The onions for it were chopped, though, and I prefer sliced. I am not an onion ring fan but could not stop eating them from the table basket -skinny skinny strips and red onions Yum. Fries were excellent too. Everyone loved their meals - perfect for a burger place and another non-cookie-cutter experience in Boston!

Better then Burger King? Yes. Is it Johnny Rockets? No I recommend the onion burger and 50/50 fries and onion rings.

A. This place could be a character in a Tarantino film. B. Veggie burger was probably the best I've ever had at a restaurant. C. Fries were A+ D. Service was perfect. We stopped in during a Sox game, in between the before and after rushes, so it wasn't too busy. Loved the look of this little gem. It's a modern day "mom-and-pop" take on the classic American burger joint. One suggestion: if you're with a friend, you can totally share an order of fries!

Most overrated burger in Boston. If it's not slathered in a million different condiments to mask it - it's not good. I've tried this place a few different times, I really did want to like it, but time and again they let me down. It's really hard to hide the fact that the actual burger itself just really isn't that great. The meat is dry, and has absolutely no flavor. I think people who like this are excited by the novelty of "funky burgers" because if you base it on the actual meat this place is less than sub-par. Yes, I've tried the fun varieties but have never really been blown away - I've seen similar burgers at other places so I can't really say they are even that inventive. The other issue I have is the severe lack of customer service. I came in here when they first opened and sat inside and could not have experienced worse service even if I had asked. The take out counter isn't any better. Overall if you want a good burger in the area I'd head over to UBurger.

Went here after a concert and I have to say this place serves up some incredible food. If you get anything, You must try the Nitro Dog which comes topped with jalapeno relish... Like the environment, has a single pool table. Perfect for late night greasy dining...

Tasty Burger reminds me of a place you might find in Portland, OR. That is definitely a compliment. It's hip, has great art on the walls, servers are friendly and it serves up delicious food at reasonable prices. Come on, that's a major lunch win. Even more of a lunch win, they have a student special of a burger, fries and a Bud for $10! That'll make the work day go by a little faster and happier. Even if you're not a student, the burgers hover around $5, fries are $4 and beers are $4-8ish. There's also a jukebox that's connected to the internet, so you can download whatever song you want to play. I wanted to stay forever. So, I got a gorgonzola burger, which was just a burger cooked medium with gorg on it. I like it simple, so that was perfect for me. But if you want lettuce and tomato or whatever, I guess you have to ask. The 50/50 fries and onion rings are the way to go, but make sure to split them. It's a huge basket of fried. The onion rings are super skinny strings, kind of ironic since they make your body the opposite of that. But that's the best way to do onion rings, and so few places to it right that I almost never order them. Thanks, Tasty Burger, for testing my ability to engage in these things in moderation.

We stopped at this place on the recommendation of some locals who hadn't steered us wrong yet. I kept it simple with a cheeseburger. We ordered it to go and ate it on our way into Fenway. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't GREAT! I was disappointed because I was expecting burger greatness. However, it is a reasonably priced option when compared to the outrageous prices you would find in the ballpark. Not a bad stop if you forgot to eat before you get the park but nothing I would go out of my way to find on any other day.

Brittany M.

FUCK YEAH TASTY BURGER. They never disappoint. I'm convinced that they have the best veggie burgers in Boston, although they are SUPER salty so if that's not your style, better luck elsewhere. It's greasy-shitty-late-night-diner-food but they do it oh so well. Excellent fries and onion rings. OH. One more thing, I've never sat inside, we always just grab food from the window and sit outside. The service outside is TERRIBLE. One time, I had already paid but they didn't have what I wanted so naturally, I wanted my money back. The lady got all pissy and shut the window on me because I wanted my money back instead of just something else off the menu. But hey, I don't eat red meat, I don't have many choices here. Anyway, it certainly doesn't affect my review of the food but if you like being treated like gold forget about it.

DELICIOUS! If you are in the area (and even if you aren't), this is a must go-to place! Incredible burgers - my boyfriend and I almost literally inhale our burger as soon as we get them. They are juicy, hot, and come with whatever toppings you want. You can sit inside in a cool, trendy sitting area with music and TVs or order from the walk-up window outside. Very quick and easy eating spot. Try a milkshake! They are pretty hearty and super tasty! When you're craving some comfort food, go here immediately!

I recently came here on a Monday of a holiday weekend with the family excited to try it out but came away utterly disappointed. We arrived around 2 pm and it was fairly busy not surprising given that it was a holiday weekend. However, the restaurant only had 1 waitress and 1 hostess. Consequently, the service was terrible! We ordered our food and got our sodas and milkshake quickly but it took forever to get anything else. We had to ask 3 times for water and an extra glass to split a milkshake for the kids. It was a rough start but my husband and I were hoping the food would make up for it. Nada. We had looked online at the menu so we knew ahead what we wanted but when we looked at the menu given to us noticed there were quite a few discrepancies. We had to ask the waitress if those items we saw online were available. My husband and I both got burgers while the kids got chicken nuggets (the regular ones aren't even listed on the menu! Only spicy nuggets are listed) and a 1/4 lb. hot dog (way too big for the average person let alone a toddler). The food left a lot to be desired. The burgers were dripping in grease and the fries and hot dog were just ok. The chicken nuggets were surprisingly good though. They tasted like fried chicken in a nugget form. I told my husband I thought we could have gotten better burgers at the Burger King that used to be down the street! Tasty Burger is in a converted gas station and tries for a cool, retro vibe. Supposedly the name comes from Samuel Jackson's character in Pulp Fiction talking about the "tasty burger" he was going to eat. Although it is tooted as being family friendly, we thought it could do better. The music was completely blaring and there was no kids menu (no biggie I can work around that). Overall, I'd give my experience a "C" and I won't bother coming back. Oh, and 2 burgers, a 1/4 lb. hot dog, 1 order of chicken nuggets, 2 sodas and 1 milkshake came out to $40. Next time I'll go to Five Guys instead!

I didn't even know this place existed until yesterday. My boyfriend and I were meeting one of our bandmates for some lunch before going to Guitar Center. What a find! I'm a sucker for retro inspired diner look and Tasty Burger delivered on that aesthetic and more. We got two Spicy Jalapeno Burgers, one Bacon Cheeseburger and one of my favorite options: the 50/50 basket. Half onion rings and half french fries. Everything was great. They even have Dr. Pepper on the menu for soda! If I were to give any criticism, it would be that the onion rings might not be for everyone: they are the super thin slice kind and I think they use red onions - the fries were very well seasoned. Don't expect gourmet here kids - we are talking an easy to hold, easy to eat burger at a 'don't break the bank' price. The diner itself is a renovated car garage with some great artwork on the walls. They had awesome tunes playing and I thought the staff was friendly. This is definitely an asset to the Fenway neighborhood and I'm sure this place will be bonkers once baseball season starts.

Burgers aren't cheap, but they sure are delicious. Actually - I take that back - anything beyond a basic (cheese)burger is $7, which isn't bad, but that's without the onion strings, which you are *definitely* going to buy. That's another $4. If you want a beer or a shake, that's another $5, unless you roll with Bud. But hey, they've got cans of Dales's Pale Ale, and that's a good beer to buy if you've gotta get a can. The atmosphere in here is pretty sweet too, with nice early aughts indie-ish rock going at a unobtrusive volume, a giant stippled photo of Sammy L Jackson from Pulp Fiction, and a pool table (word is it's free?). Also not to miss for you students out there; the blackboard behind the bar proclaims there's a "student special" available with valid ID for a burger, fries, and Bud for $10. There's also "The Challenge" where you eat 5 "All the Way" dogs (or "shafts" in Tasty parlance) in under an hour, and keep them down, you win your picture on the wall, a t-shirt, your dogs for free, and the indescribable taste of victory (and possibly indigestion). All in all, this is a solid addition to the Fenway neighborhood, and one I'll be happy to patronize next time I'm in the area.

I don't give out five stars often, but Tasty Burger earned it. Stopped in this afternoon and it totally hit the spot. Uncomplicated menu, very reasonably priced, great quality and great service. Their burgers are made from Omaha beef, ground fresh daily, only $5.50. The milkshake was perfect, very thick and also priced right at $4. Only one issue and its been noted by other Yelpers - what is going on with the slippery floor? Better get that fixed, stat!. Other than the floor this place is perfect, great atmosphere, love the Jules Winnfield mural! An enthusiastic five stars!

First of all, let me say that the actual burger itself was excellent. I hate when Yelp reviews harp on the service and do not talk about the actual food. Their burger was tasty, delicious, and came perfectly cooked. The fries were good and the soda had free refills. If I were rating on food alone: four stars! So how did they get two stars? Tasty Burger is right by Fenway Park. We were a party of two on a busy game day trying to grab a bite before heading to the gate. We were fortunate enough to be seated quickly, but waited a solid ten minutes for service. Now, it was not the fault of the waitstaff. Since I had plenty of time to observe the situation, I could see one expediter who just brought out sodas, and two waitresses who had to sit guests, wait tables, and clear them as well. On a Saturday game day? That is poor management. Extreme understaffing. Strike 1. Upon further observation, I noticed a guy at an adjacent table pull a hair out of his burger that must have been 10 inches long! Of course the poor waitress was mortified, apologetic, and offered a new one. He was not having it. I don't blame him. Strike 2. (I know you're thinking "why stay?" There's more) I go to the bathroom, it's a single person at a time, which is fine. So I had to wait, and when I get in and go to wash my hands...no soap. I don't care if you have a sanitizer stand out in the hallway. No soap? I mean, what about the employees? Technically Strike 3! ...but there was only 20 minutes until the start of the game and we were starving. So we stayed. And it was surprisingly good. I haven't gotten ill, so I would consider going back for takeout. The burger was good after all - I guess I'm a risk taker.

We found on yelp and from the outside, we were a little bit like "hmmm... Not real sure abt this place...." But boy are we glad we went in!!!!! Delicious is an understatement!!! We had the spicy jalapeÃ±o burger, the kahuna burger, a grilled cheese, onion rings and fries- the staff was friendly, the service was FAST and the quality of food was A+! We will def be back!!! Thanks for a great Boston experience!

Still really like this place. Although the burgers have increased to $5.95, they are still a good deal in a time and place where it's hard to find a corner pub selling one for less than $10. Stopped in yesterday with my wife and son. I went way off the caloric intake ranch and had two burgers: the BBQ and onion burger (with both sautÃ©ed and deep fried onions) and the Spicy Jalapeno with queso fresco and roasted fresh jalapenos. In my defense, I ate only 6 oz. of non-fat yogurt and a bagel (no cream cheese) the entire day. My son had the Blue Collar burger with the battered and deep fried patty, and my wife had the mushroom and cheese. Loved the Long Trail Ale. The Sam Cold Snap was had too strong an orange flavor. Won't be having that again. Service was very good. I don't know how they get hot, juicy, neatly wrapped burgers out so quickly, but I am glad they do. The place is a dive, but in a good way; except for maybe the bathroom (at least the men's room). Leave any pretension you may have at the door and just have a good time quaffing down a Tasty Burger and beverage of choice. Let me know what you think of this review by clicking a button below.

This review is based on the vegetarian's perspective. They do have a veggie patty(not a soy patty) and they will substitute onto most burgers. But if you don't like the taste of bell pepper or any of its elongated relatives, you will not enjoy this burger. Its not spicy, but it does have large chunks of the stuff along with corn and what I believe is sweet potato. Overall very accommodating.

What is not to love about tasty burger? They have cheap eats and beers, all enjoyed in a renovated gas station! I love the decor and the evergreen painting of Samuel L. Jackson from Pulp Fiction (McRoyale Anyone?). I would definitely recommend going here before a game at Fenway or on a weeknight. I used to live int he area and loved to go there with my fellow college students. Be warned that the place is a bit small, so the wait can be long on weekend nights.

Tasty is a must go to and the Fenway one is always on point food-wise. The Bacon cheese burger is like coming home after a long trip and passing out in your bed. Everything you want it to be every damn time. I recommend adding pickles and jalapeÃ±os to maximize drooling. The 50/50 is genius. Who doesn't look at a menu and think "I would order rings and fries but people will stare"... have no fear, order it, and get it with spicy cheese sauce and cherry limeade and let the people around you stare with jealously. Their shakes are also a legit choice. The coffee one is great and the mint one as well, however, be warned, the mint one has chocolate chips and get stuck in the straw. Service here was previously better than it has been lately. There seems to be a new manager or owner(?) who is always there who needs to figure out expediting issues in the kitchen. It's never good when lots of people are looking around like umm how long does a burger take and something fried? Don't socialize by the bar if half the people in the room don't have their food yet! Also--burgers come in this perfect little burger sleeping bag that makes eating that joyous thing incredible as none of it gets all over you after you douse it with all the saucy sauces on the table.

Me and my hubby came to this place last year in June while visiting Boston and we loved it!!!We are back in Boston with our 7yr old and had to go back to Tasty Burger he loved it! The burgers are amazing!!!!! Customer service is always good and the atmosphere is awesome great place to visit while in Boston and it's a block away from Fenway which is great!

This has quickly become one of my favorite place to drop in for lunch or dinner before a ballgame! This is only a problem because I don't even want to know how many calories are in one of these delicious, juicy, "tasty" burgers. This past time I went I was feeling a bit guilty for even stepping foot in the door so I tricked my mind into thinking I was being a little more healthy by getting the Big Tasty and subbing out the beef for a veggie burger. I think the veggie burger was just as good, if not even a little better than the beef patty!! There were REAL veggies in it, not just a rice patty with some beans. It was delicious! It probably didn't save me very many calories, if any at all, but that didn't matter at that point! The waitresses/bartenders have always been super friendly and helpful. And the beer list is filled with your everyday favorites, and the more obscure cans that you can only find in wonderful establishments such as this! Oh! Fun fact! You can get half fries and half onion rings if you can't make up your mind!!

My business partner and I ate here before a Red Sox game. We heard great things about this burger joint on Phantom Gourmet so I wanted to check it out. We found a table right away. I ordered the Big Tasty with onion rings and my partner ordered the mushroom burger with cheese fries and a chocolate shake. The burgers were juicy and delicious and cooked perfectly. The fries were crispy and the onion ringer were decent...nothing special there. I highly recommend Tasty Burger for an affordable meal before or after a Sox game. It's a great value with burgers coming in under $6. I would have paid double what I paid inside Fenway Park for half the quality of food. The place is a funky converted gas station which retains some of that old vibe. I saw a pool table in the back. It's cool, relaxed and delicious. Our waitress was attentive, quick and friendly. Thumbs up for sure!

Left a Sox game hungry and thirsty. Burgers were great, but not thrilled with their "large" coke that seemed like a standard 16 oz. Good selection, and I will likely be back when I am in the area.

This place is average. Nothin' special. If anything, service needs work. The manager needs to do some quality control and check in on guests here and there, especially because there are multiple complaints over the undesirable level of service. The beau and I ordered two burgers (the big tasty and the bacon cheeseburger) with sides of fried and onion rings. Food came out and the food runner said onion rings weren't even ordered. Oh and bacon was missing from the bacon cheeseburger as well. Tasty Burger, get it together. Your burgers aren't good enough to have shoddy service and returning customers.

Here's the breakdown for Tasty Burger: +1 star for being open late. +1 star for having beer on the menu. +1 star for excellent variety of combinations of fried meat, bread, and various fixin's. +1 star for expedient service and take-out, even late at night. +1 star for convenient location, especially if you live / go to school near the Fenway. -1 star for being really broey. Seriously, it's like fucking Rush Week up ins all the time. -1 star for quality of food. I mean... it's good, but don't expect to have your mind blown Things I would highly recommend here: a) Butta Burger, if you're 100% committed to the whole "let's channel Julia Child" thing. b) The Blue Collar, especially if you're in the mood for a side of heart attack with your sangwich. c) BBQ Onion burger. I mean, seriously. They had me at BBQ. d) The Hubba Burger. It's chili. On a burger. End of fucking story. Overall, this place won't hold a candle to Craigie on Main, but then, I can guarandamntee you they won't run out of burgers 30 minutes after opening.

Delicious burgers! I've had some better but I really enjoyed the ones I've had there. I've had the Kahuna Burger and the BBQ Onion Burger. I personally liked the BBQ Onion better but both were great burgers. I LOVE their onion rings, nice amount of onion to batter. The onions were very thin which I enjoyed. I also enjoyed the fries, they were nice and crispy as a fry should be. I also got the green monster shake which was a solid milkshake. All in all they have a nice variety of tasty food for a reasonable price!

I drool over Tasty Burger. I'm normally not a huge burger eater, but I will always have room for Tasty Burger. It's cheap and delicious. I have only tried their burgers, fries and onion rings there. The burger is always cook perfectly and its flavor is always juicy and tasty. I always get the spicy jalepeno cheeseburger with spicy cheese on the side. That way I can dip my fries and onion rings. The fries and onion rings are to die for and the best thing you can do is actually put the onion rings in your burger. They have a huge beer selection. The location is prime because its right at Fenway. I love it because you can get it before or after a Redsox Game. I would definitely try this place if you never been. One last thing, last time the manager of the location was so generous and nice and had some Polka Dog/Tasty Burger dog treats. He gave me a bunch to bring home to my dog and my dog (the one in my profile picture) loved every bite. Thank you! From both me and and my dog Butters.

My friends and I did visit this place prior to a RED SOX game(yesterday). It was the worst mistake we made. We've been here numerous time and we all agree this place has gone down hill. Since dining in would take longer, we decided to eat thru takeout. WRONG, not any faster. We waited 25 minutes just to order and another 30 minutes just to get the food. We used to love this place but things have gone terribly wrong since it's first year. Burgers have gotten smaller, pitcher prices have increased, service isn't as efficient as it was, plus the overhype of the reviews for the new diners. No thanks for us (7 people), there are alternatives during a RS game. Tasty's has become a joke.

I go here for lunch when I want to feed my craving for a greasy burger that's good. I almost always get the turkey burger which I would give a 6.5 out of 10. The onion strings are also surprisingly good. The french fries could be a little better but they'll satisfy a craving. The customer service is good, friendly and efficient.

Overall it has good food, but not good service. It was Game 6 of the 2013 World Series. After just arriving in Fenway I made my way to Tasty Burger before heading to a sports bar and ultimately back to my friend's apartment to watch the game. We were in the take-out line and I ordered the opposite of my girlfriend: The Deep Fried Burger with 50/50 fries/onion rings. Orders are huge and a deep-fried burger is not nearly as good as a grilled variety. It loses a lot of its beefy flavor, especially for being cooked in oil. My girlfriend's burger salad looked more appetizing. Next time I'll order something a bit more ordinary. the 50/50 orders are split with half fries and half onion rings, but actually double the order size! The onion rings are actually thinly sliced and not juicy like that ones i'm used to. The thinness of the onion made it super greasy and made its way onto the fries. It's great if you've been drinking, but I wasn't impressed. Overall I enjoyed my first meal in Boston, but was disappointed when they covered up the windows of the restaurant indoors so no one outside could watch the game... even if they were eating their take-out orders. How lame is that?! I can't believe they wouldn't share such a memorable game with their outdoor customers. Oh well. It's still a good burger joint.

Fast, good burgers that are way better than McDonald's, Burger King, etc. Great for those 1am munchies or if you need cheap food in the Fenway area.

I can see why this place is so popular! Reasonably priced, better than fast food but still a greasy treat. I wasn't in love with the turkey burger but the fries and onion rings were awesome. Next time I'll go for the real deal burger as everyone else seemed really into theirs. Bonus points for accomodating a big order and labeling everything properly.

Don S.

Tasty burger always has a pretty solid burger and fries especially compared to the other fast food joints in the area. My biggest complaint is this is the slowest burger place I've ever been to (from actually getting to place your order to the time you have to wait after placing the order). They need to get a second register so that the person working the window is not also answering and taking phone orders. Maybe more help or another grill would speed this slow food joint up.

Cyndie B.

What can i say....I LOVED IT! I had a turkey burger that was juicy and delicious. Often turkey burgers are dry and tasteless (because so little fat) but NOT AT TASTY BURGER. They employees are fast and friendly and I would drive from Waltham anytime to get a Tasty Burger again. For those of you who are vegetarian, they also have veggie burgers which I will try next time since I limit my intake of animal protein. They also have dairy and gluten free rolls. Go now!

Extremely long wait for food. Wouldn't have been a big deal but we were not forewarned it would take so long and were headed to a concert. Asked to speak to the manager who promptly entered the kitchen and got things moving. Got food shortly after plus he also made up for the inconvenience with a round of beers...well played sir. Cheers ~ Matt

It took us a while to get service once seated. Granted, on a Sat night they're busy with drunk college students around, but if you're seated, you should at least get some menus. The burger was good. If it wasn't for the poor service, I'd give 4 stars. Just what you need for a late night out. The poor college student deal is a pretty sweet deal if you show i.d. With a burger, fries, beer for around$10.

Below average. This place used to be better. The burgers were put together very sloppy. It was gross to eat something that looked like that. We ordered the hubba burger and the kahuna burger, both were a sloppy mess with the sauces in the wrapper making the buns soggy! They need to analyze the quality of the food that coming out of the kitchen! They said the burger was going to be cooked medium and it was well done! The service was so slow. Very very understaffed. The bathrooms were also not the cleanest. They have hand sanitizer by the door? This is just wrong what happened to good old soap/water. Are their employees not washing their hand properly?!? Think twice! This place is overrated and we will probably not go back!

Great late night burger spot. Skinny fries had the right amount of salt and were crispy. Ordered the hotdog to go with my burger because I was drunk and the bite I had was great, really good flavor but then my wife called me a fat ass and shamed me into throwing it away.

Ate here before the Red Sox game and enjoyed myself and the atmosphere. Good: -BBQ Onion Burger (really good) -Gorgonzola Burger (it was OK) -The Big Tasty (solid choice) -Walking distance of Gate D at Fenway Park -A lot of beers to choose from -If it gets crowded, go for the takeout window Bad: -spicy cheese sauce was plopped on the fries, nothing to write home about -can get crowed and tight

I love this place! The service was awesome and the starvin student special is such a steal! I ordered a bacon cheeseburger with fries and a glass of Pinot, all for $11! I highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a cozy, welcoming place with delicious food and wonderful service.

Susie D.

It was decent if you are into that kind of food, but come on, no wheat buns or wheat bread choices? Even Quiznos and subway have great wheat buns, and the new trendsetters like b.good have only wheat. White bread is not good for you unless you like being constipated and getting no vitamins or nutrients. It's like 1970s as far as the bread. No other choices but bland white buns. Not even wheat pita for their burger salads.

Remi M.

Love the jalapeno burger. Love the fries. Love the concept. But don't, don't order via telephone for pickup. I placed an order at 1150 over the phone for my coworkers and I. four burgers. Three orders of small fries. One coke. Got there at 12:15. Waited over fifty minutes. The girl at the window kept apologizing to me but it was so bizarre, tons of people got their food before I did and I ordered in advance. I won't be doing that again.

Viren V.

They have good burgers, but the service sucks. And by that I mean if is truly terrible. They won't take take out orders by phone after midnight even when there's no line. To whatever dimwit manager who came up with that rule - everyone who would be ordering from you all is just going to eat somewhere else instead.

Get yourself to Tasty Burger and get there fast. They make a double bacon cheeseburger to rival some of the best I've ever had. I always have fun here in the summer eating on picnic tables, listening to the roar at Fenway Park up the street. Some of the other food highlights for me include the strawberry shakes and, their french fries. A word to the wise: their veggie burger is in fact vegan! This has solved many of the late night food issues I sometimes experience with my vegan companions- particularly when we are in the Harvard Square area.

Victoria P.

Cheerwine in a glass bottle?? YES. I'm from the south so finding a place that has Cheerwine completely made my life. Not only is this a huge reason to go, but the burgers are delicious! I had the tasty burger and my boyfriend had the spicy jalapeno burger - both were really good. You should also get the 50/50 - the combination of rings and fries just makes life better. It also helps that they have a pool table that is FREE. Will definitely be back here.

Marion M.

Saw it on the way to Fenway park from our hotel and decided to check it out for dinner. We ordered the tasty burger, the hotdog all in, gorgonzola burger and onion rings. Everything tasted great! They have a nice selection of beers but we didn't order any. Prices are pretty great, not too packed today, Sunday, not a game day, which is perfect. Only thing was the music was a little weird, they were playing old school, slow, romantic songs, a little off for a more sporty venue, but not sure if there was a dukebox people were picking the songs from

Yum! Although air conditioning would be a VERY welcome addition on a hot day, Tasty Burger lives up to its name. The space is casual and fun, with a pool table in one corner (I believe it's free to use!), and a menu with delicious burger and hot dog options. The food is messy, there is no doubting that. A friend of mine tried one of their dogs and eventually ended up using utensils to tackle it (is that wrong?). My chili and cheese smothered burger was also quite messy, but juicy and delicious. All burgers are cooked medium (thank you for having the dignity to not overcook your meat), and they are made to satisfy. I also really enjoyed their take on onion rings, which are sliced paper thin with a light, crisp coating (no heavy batter here). I would very happily trek over to Tasty Burger for future guilty cravings. The burgers and beer definitely hit the spot. In the summertime, the ceiling fans barely make a difference to the heat, especially if you are sitting in the back room where our large party was seated, but otherwise it's a great space and I'd be happy to return.

Sweet, sweet Tasty Burger! our sanctuary and refuge at the end of a long night out dancing/crawling through Boston's clubs. The place was packed around 1:30-2AM, but we got seated without too much of a wait, and the food came out quickly. I had the veggie burger, which was really fantastic--fries and onion rings were also praiseworthy. The burger's texture was surprisingly good for a veggie burger, and with siracha it was exactly what I thought I needed in my drunchies-craving state. Pricing was very fair and affordable, and the wait staff were good sports despite the hordes of barflies straggling in.

I don't even care what people say- this was the best, most fun, most delicious sacrifice we ever made. Game was cancelled so we went a hunting for a place to eat. I wanted a bar, and sacrificed what I wanted since the boys wanted a burger. I was blown away! The beer selection was amazing! The burger selection was AMAZING. The prices were LESS than Wendy's. I couldn't even freakin believe it. I had the veggie burger w/ ff. Mr. H got the bacon Burger. we both were in instant love and plan on driving there from way down here just for a burger on our vacation.

I give it a zero. They only get 1 star because I have to. Worst experience ever. Poor service. Did not get order correct. Service was not friendly. It was pouring rain and they would not let us sit inside because we ordered outside. They gave us a bag that broke after walking for about 1 minute and our food fell to the ground. My hamburger then had a hair in it. Will not be back again and do not recommend anyone to go here.

Absolutely cannot wait to go back.

So I came here with this guy Nick. We showed up after an electro show at the house of blues. Honestly the house of blues was not fun at all. The music sucked. Skrillex sucked. I met nick at the end of the show and he acksed me if I'd like some tasty burger... I came with him and he turned out to be sketchier than nick cagefightings note pad. The food was great but I give the experience 3 stars

I had my first burger from TB (that's an unfortunate nickname) when I was nearly blackout drunk. Even in my compromised state, however, I could tell that TB's burgers are WAY too greasy. Too greasy for a regular meal, that is, not a night of drunken excess. I should probably thank TB, in fact, for saving me from a killer hangover the next day. Thank you, TB. Kidding aside, I've been back a couple times for trivia (which is a fun, affordable time), and had slightly less greasy affairs. Perhaps they give their burgers a little more TLC when they're not being swarmed by beer-fueled zombies at 2am? Next time I close out Machine down the street, I'll let you know.

I went here before a Red Sox game and I was seated right away. We ordered two Starvin' Students. For $10 you get a cheeseburger, fries, and a beer. Wow. I also liked the artwork (a la Pulp Fiction), and the expansive beer menu. In fact, I decided I liked this place before I even saw the burger. I just so happens that the burger was very good, and I loved the cheese. Shoestring Fries, while not my favorite, were cooked perfectly. The burger comes with a special wrapper to keep everything in place. How can people not be a fan of this place?

Mark G.

This is my all-time favorite burger place in Boston. Oldschool fast-food style burgers. The Big Tasty is an easy sell, with secret sauce and the works. I also love the chili and cheese burger -- holy crap. I've been known to embarrass my friends when I order a second burger. Beer list is extensive, drinks are cheap. There's even a "starvin' student" deal for those that still have their youth. $10 for a hamburger or cheeseburger, can of beer & fries.

I came to Tasty Burger after work on a Friday before a Sox game. We had a rather large group--started with just 5, but our group to 12+. We were seated in the back near the pool table, and as our group grew, the waiter would bring us more chairs. Eventually we took over the whole back nook. I was starving when I arrived, so I ordered a turkey mushroom burger + the chips and hummus/guac. The hummus and guac were average. The chips were sub-average. Honestly, they didn't taste all that fresh and I pushed them aside so that I wouldn't mindlessly eat the rest plain. The highlight of my meal was the AMAZING BURGER. When you order, they don't ask how you want it done. You don't do that here. Please, please don't ask for your burger to be well done. No. Just don't. Trust them to serve you a delicious, moist burger. They bring it fast. It is wrapped up in what I assume is their version of how In&Out wraps their burgers. I can say that this was probably the best burger I've had in the Boston area. I'm ashamed to say that because this is technically a fast food joint, but DAMN. I was really really blown away by how delicious it was, and I scarfed it right down. The girl next to me go the nachos, and they were served over the same chips I got with hummus/guac. I had a few of her remaining chips.... meh. Again, the highlight here is obviously the BURGERS. The nachos used that super fake tasting cheese sauce, and overall wasn't impressive. As more people joined our group, the waiter took individual orders and meals were delivered with lightening speed. Some people ordered second and third items, and everything was brought correctly. We ordered pitchers of Miller light, and those of us who got there early received icy cold beer mugs. Late arrivals just got plastic cups. I'd definitely come back here if I'm craving a burger, but am more likely to return to the Harvard Square venue since it's closer to home. YUM. (But really, stick to the burgers and beer.)

What a great burger place. I always like to grab a nice burger before a red sox, the big kahuna burger is the best. There onion rings are also the best some of the biggest I've seen.

Great Burger joint. Cool art work inside, free pool, juke box. Burgers are top notch greasy delicacies, bunch of different burgers with cool names, amazing milk shakes (get the green monster). All around great little burger place in the Fenway that serves beer all for a good price. Gets busy when the Sox are in town but otherwise...make this your last stop on the way home after a night of drinking.

Rebekah H.

I moved out here from the west coast and I have been looking for a good burger joint in Boston, which seems to be the one thing they lack. However this place did pretty well. The burgers are delicious and super cheap I had the chili burger, it was very good and was only about $5. Granted the burgers are fairly small, like one patty but you can add patties for 50cents I think. I wasn't that impress with the shake, I had their mint chocolate chips one & it had about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in it. Place is usually pretty crowded, you will most like be squeezed right next to someone as the tables are very close. It's more like a bar environment rather than a restaurant very loud and rowdy but the staff is super nice. I had a good time overall.

When Tasty Burger was first described to me, I simply thought it was just going to be like dining at Five Guys, except there is beer. However... I was so incredibly surprised how amazing this place is! First, the bad: there is beer, but not too crazy of a selection. And only one cider. And it comes in a can. Sigh... OK, now the good... and there is a lot of good here! The most shocking and pleasing thing besides the food was the off-street parking. I repeat: FREE OFF-STREET PARKING. In Fenway, that is absolutely unheard of! We parked at a meter, figuring that was our only option, and as we approached and saw the nearly-empty lot, we were noticeably shocked. Next, the food. I ordered my gorgonzola burger with bacon bun-less, fearful that I'd be kicked out for doing so; however, if you are anti-grains or gluten-free, they're 100% cool with it and call it a "wrap". Another awesome thing about the burger is that they're not scared of making it pink in the middle. Though I like medium-rare burgers, having a fast-food-esque burger made medium is close enough and MUCH better than the well-done hockey pucks at other joints. I was hesitant to order cheese fries because I figured they would be the usual flash-frozen fries with the neon orange goop pumped on top. However, I was shocked to see that the cheese sauce they use definitely has a roux base - that means MADE FROM SCRATCH, folks! (If I'm wrong about this, I'll kiss the person that proves me wrong. I'm THAT certain.) The other folks in our group ordered the 50/50 fries and onion rings. I am not a huge onion fan and dislike most onion rings, but Tasty Burgers' are more like thin, crispy, heavenly onion straws... and they're amazing. Just based on the food and beer, Tasty Burger is a four-star place; but with off-street parking, it just put the whole experience over the top. WOO-HOO AS GOOD AS IT GETS, indeed!

Came here before a Red Sox game. Ideal location along with great prices. If you are drinking beers, I suggest you get a pitcher. I had the Big Tasty. Everything else sounded so delicious but I just wanted to try the simplest one since I keep hearing people compare it to Shake Shack. The bun was nice and soft and the meat was cooked perfectly (medium). The tasty sauce was yummy. Also got a side of the chili cheese fries with the spicy cheese sauce. The chili overpowered the cheese so I didn't really taste the spiciness of it. Will definitely be back.

Delicious raspberry lime rickeys, and I was impressed with the atmosphere- it wasn't at all what I pictured, which was a place you'd just grab a burger and then get out- it has enough of an atmosphere to make you want to stay and hang out. I was disappointed in the food though- very mediocre, especially the burger. And while I love that they have pitchers, we actually had trouble deciding what to order because it's a pretty limited selection (and we're all beer drinkers...). Our server was terrible and came by our table approximately once an hour even though when we initially got there there was pretty much no one else there. One big plus to me is that this is not the kind of place they're going to fill with 200 extra people standing around so no one can move like at most bars by Fenway- makes it far more likely that I'll choose to hang out here, where I can grab a table and some pitchers with friends and still have room to breathe! Prices are very reasonable, and I'll probably come back and hang out outside sometime this summer (and try a shake!).

An adult beverage with my burger? Yes, please! I recommend the Big Tasty. Perfect sized burgers, great upbeat atmosphere, and even a takeout window. An adult place to chill with a burger!

yum! excellent spot for a quick burger and fries but that isn't necessarily fast food. we stopped by tasty burger on the way home last night, and it was an amazing late night food choice. we chose the big tasty and a side of fries, which comes with cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, and tasty sauce. my friend also ordered 2 cheeseburgers. when we opened the bag to split up the food, we noticed that there were only 2 burgers in there. i ran up to the window, and the server was really nice about it and quickly gave me the missing burger. as soon as we got home we dove right in. the fries were thin, crispy, and salty, exactly what i was hoping for. not a single one was soggy. the burger was really juicy, but that might have been helped along by the sauce. overall it was pretty good, although a bit overly salty. the bun was simple, slightly puffy and on the thinner side, but it complemented the patty size and toppings very well.

I don't know if this is God's message to me to not eat here. This review is in no way regarded to the burger, maybe not even the service. The burgers and fries still taste wonderful. But on the last two times I have visited, our order was mysteriously forgotten. Both times our order did not come in until everyone who came after us have finished and left for good. Seems like two isolated incident on a row... I honestly don't know what's happening.

I would have given this place 4 stars, but I am not a fan of people putting bad things on the menu followed by the argument "that's not our specialty." If it's on your menu, you should be proud of it. This is the case with their loaded chips (nachos, as I would call them). They're pretty terrible - cheese sauce instead of the cheese that is stated in the menu, none of the bacon that is also stated in the menu, and a lousy, sweet, probably canned chili. Okay. Nachos are not their specialty. Tasty Burger made that clear Their burgers are really tasty, though, and quite affordable. They are traditional American style - flat, griddle cooked and not the big, 1/2 lb gourmet types. Fries are decent. I love the Sriracha bottle on each table. Onion rings and onion straws are two different things. They are not interchangeable. Tasty Burger serves onion straws with a powdery coating. Not very good, and quite disappointing...especially if you're expecting big, golden onion rings. Overall, good burgers and fries. Stick to that and you'll be okay

Yes "That is a tasty burger". Liked the char on the burger. The roll and veggies were very fresh. Yummmm.

The food here is always delicious, and the people who work here are friendly and professional! I'm having the veggie burger right now, and after I took the first bite, I had to write a Yelp review about how good it is! I'm allergic to wheat, and it's difficult to find a veggie burger that doesn't contain wheat (and that tastes good), but this one is vegetarian (possibly vegan), wheatless, and contains actual vegetables that you can identify (corn, peppers, etc.), and it's delicious! I also really like the chopped lettuce, cucumber, and onion that goes on top (also comes with tomatoes and pickles, but I didn't want them this time). I only wish they still carried the gluten-free blondies, brownies, and cookies they used to serve!

Having been here weekly or even more since it opened. Nice casual place. Decent burgers with numerous types/toppings option. Like the fact that u can double up and make any burger a double. Fries are okay, onion rings are the thin kind, best option is go for 50/50 and share. Limited beer menu which they have expanded. Nachos are super large serving so be careful and order for decent sized groups. Amazing shakes, the green monster takes the crown. Burgers cooked more towards the rare side (rare-medium) always so keep in mind if ordering to your own choice. Outdoor picnic style tables to sit and enjoy. Can call in and place order in advance. Open till 2am which gives it boost in ratings. Which is especially nice since if u live in the area and are walking back the kitchen smoke (visible from all around) with its meaty, grilly whiffs will make u hungry again and draw u towards the place. They have jukebox and pool table (not that good, banged up in certain spots) but with good food and company one doesn't mind that. Plus the pools free. All in all a decent burger joint with quick, great service.

ok.. This place is now on my "I might not return" list. Walk in, girl hostess/waitress was right there saying hello.. so far so good. Enter dick.. I am sorry, Richard (NOT his name) bartender. He doesn't say Jack to us, throws two menus on the bar in front of us and turns and watches the Red Sox. Comes back, and stares like I should jump at ordering. I asked for my two beers and a basket of onion rings. He's such a dick, I mean Richard.... AmerAsian waitress... think you can text anymore while on the clock? Think you can hide around the corner and text like people (me and wife) sitting at the bar can't see you ignoring your tables and texting! All night long. This place is just like it used to be for food which I like but the staff is a "D" or a "F" in my book. With all the competition in the area I will be hard pressed to return to this "customer comes second" location.

I'm giving this a 3 star because I ate a friend's Tasty Burger and it was DELICIOUS! Unfortunately, when I went to try it on my own the next night, even though my friend and I were the last 2 people in line, the manager chose to cut off the line before us saying "we have to cut this off somewhere". Working in the hospitality industry myself, it only seems that the obvious place to cut the line off would have been AT THE END rather than 2 people before the end. Rude, rude, rude.

STAFF... Super friendly and take special requests! FOOD... Customize any burger on the menu... yes, you CAN have it your way...*smile*. THE DEAL: It's fast food, but it's still TASTY.

Can I get a burger, though? Oh, you have like a lot of them, okay, give me a minute. No wait, stop, dont go, Ill have the burger. The one in which the meat will be fried. Yeah, that one. Anything else? Um, no, I'm good, I think (quickly scanning menu). Oh, wait, do you have fries ...chili cheese fries ?Thanks. Also, throw in a soda water. Oooooooookay. (I look to my friend) Wanna split a hot dog, too? ...though? Uh... we will take a hot dog as well, okay, thank you. I forced myself to eat as much as I could. My friends really enjoyed everything as well. Also, the service was quitty, quick and witty. The food came out fast and hot. I think I am coming back here soon. I dont know why I did yoga as soon as I got home, was it the fetal position that was taking over my body? The guilt of a fried burger? Definitely running some miles today, though, but it was worth it.

Cheap food but good quality. That's pretty hard to come by. You can get a nice burger and a good amount of fries for less than $6. That's not bad at all if I do say so myself. There are several of these around so you shouldn't have issues finding one.

Why Tasty Burger is a solid 4 stars... Love love love the cheese fries and the burgers! Love the $20 pitchers of good beer. Like the service. But I'll keep going back and maybe the 'like' service will become love and I can review with 5 stars!

Luis P.

Didn't know what to expect when I saw the place was called Tasty burger, looking to eat a hot dog. Great little place to hang out, plenty of parking space. I was impressed by the "All the way" hot dog. Literally a $12 hot dog that's a foot long. I love places that offer challenges and this place gives you an hour to eat 3 of these bad boys. If you like bacon, burgers and hot dogs, this is the place to go

Great location in Boston. Green monster milkshake (mint chocolate chip ice cream) is great. I had the gorgonzola burger, very juicy and flavorful. They don't seem to let you choose how to cook the burgers so mine was a little on the pink side. The fries where good and deff did not seem frozen but showed up semi warm. I could have sent it back but eh. They have a very solid beer list for a burger joint. Would love to try a few different things on the menu in the future. The location we went to was the Fenway location, which was a used car garage with the big pull down bay doors.

Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger! This place is honestly amazing. What more could you ask for? Tasty burgers, and tasty beverages to wash em' down... The prices here are very reasonable. Good selection of beer, a pool table, and... they have flatscreens at the bar (Yes, I know this is normal for a bar) and when I had my visit here, they had a diverse selection for your viewing pleasure... Sunday Night Football, The Lion King, and Lego Star Wars...too good. The lady bartender was extremely nice. I did however feel bad for the gentleman who was trying their local challenge which consists of eating (3) Colossal All-The-Way Dogs within an hour... Doesn't sound too crazy but, if you saw one of these things or read the description below, you'll prolly crap your pants. THIS - All-The-Way Dog = 1/2 lb. Hot Dog, Cheeseburger cut in half and placed on the bun, Chili, Cheese Sauce and Bacon. All Served on a Sub Roll. All in all this place is fucking awesome and everyone and their monkey's uncle should check it out! Shazam! P.S. Some parts of this review are probably copy write protected e.g. Pulp Fiction rips,Tasty Burger Menu descriptions, Shaquille O' Neil Movie Title slash 70's DC Comic television program title... Let it be known, I own nunnavet!

This place is great! And this is from someone who doesn't typically frequent burger joints! I've only been here once (so can't speak extensively about the menu's offerings) but would definitely return. While glancing at the menu, I happened to notice the 'Zum Zum' frank, which was topped with sauerkraut, grain mustard, and celery salt and was immediately sold. Sauerkraut is one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE FOODS and grain mustard just "seemed like something I would order" (in the words of my girlfriend). And let me just say, this frank did not disappoint! The actual sausage tasted fresh and like it actually contained real meat (a rare find, indeed!) and the sauerkraut was just the right amounts sour, bitter, moist, and flavorful. The grain mustard and celery salt only added to the already decadent flavor and paired well with modest amounts of ketchup and sweet relish. While the meal itself was reasonably filling, the sheer........tastiness of the frank left me craving more and will soon return, I am certain. I'd love to try other offerings from their menu, as I've heard both the chili dog and 'All the Way' dog are likewise delicious, but I'm honestly not sure I could pass up another 'Zum Zum'. Maybe I'll go back for dinner sometime so I can order multiple franks.

Wonderful service! The chipotle turkeer burger is amazing and my friend loved her thick juicy burger. Fries were plentiful, and beer nice and cold. Great food at a great price!

No doubt--the food is good and the service is brisk. Although I understand Econ 101, I am always surprised when a place like this can't have an updated menu. Our waitress kept wondering out loud why they haven't updated their menu as we tried to order things they don't have anymore (Creamsicle shake, Cheerwine). It's a disappointment when we have to change the order while ordering.

The waiter here was a complete jerk. I walked in with my friend arm in arm due to the slushy weather---both the waiter and manager refused to serve me a drink because they claimed us to be "too drunk" even though we had one beer each and were looking for a final meal--TERRIBLE SERVICE!! We left---DO NOT go here if you've had more than one beer elsewhere---they are unreasonable and rude---go to citizens across the road!!!

Bela S.

This place is legit. I "made up" an order and they got it right (unlike the Cambridge location); two turkey patties as a lettuce wrap, guacamole, sautÃ©ed onions and mushrooms, no sauce. They also have cheerwine; this is the only restaurant I have ever seen that sells the stuff. Only other place I have ever found it was at BevMo (a West coast beverage chain store). Food came out quick, hot, and delicious. No complaints here! Awesome location. And PARKING too!

We always make it a requirement to go to Tasty Burger right after we play a show at House of Blues. This burger gives In N Out a run for their money. I had the Butta Burger and Chocolate Shake. The shake had such a unique taste. I could have had 10 of them. Great vibe, always poppin. If you don't love this place, you're fucked in the head!!!

We ordered the Tasty Burger and didn't disappoint. It was juicy, flavorful and had a unique sauce. High quality ingredients and the meat was really good. My new go to place for hamburgers. Excellent service and my only critique is that they should put umbrellas in the take out area.

Teresa S.

Had to try this place out during their prime hour (before a redsox game) it was PACKED. We ordered 2 tasty burgers, fries, and a drink. Came to $15 and change, not too bad. Waited about 15 minutes for them which also isn't too bad considering there were so many baseball fans there prior to the game. Their burgers remind me of IN and OUT burger and their fries taste similar. I definitely recommend this place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I really want to try out their milkshakes next time! Can't wait to return.

Ethel G.

I thought this place was OK, but came the day after enjoying another Boston burger eatery I thought was better. Didnt care for the fries which were really soft. They do well late night apparently because it was extremely busy. If youre thinking this place vs. fast food, I'd recommend this place but beyond that I wouldnt get too excited.

We found ourselves making the queue at Tasty Burger around 2:10am. Sit-down service had already closed and we were informed to make the line outside. We waited patiently, although worried that the place would close and our hunger would get the best of us. After 15-20 minutes, we finally ordered. Two tasty burgers with 1 fry. Waited some more and our order was ready. I don't know where everyone went, but after receiving our order, I noticed everyone was gone. I guess cold weather and late-outdoor-dining is not a good idea? No matter, it did not stop us from munching down this beefy-goodness. Burger was juicy, very flavorful. Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Just perfect. As others mention, "good to the last bite" and totally worth waiting in the excruciating cold. We will definitely return on future trips to BOS.

I can assure you, that "All the Way Shaft" that is pictured so often, above - Yes, it is as good as it gets. Hoo-boy. Yes, that was delicious. Scratch one off of the bucket list. I was lucky to get a bite of a "normal" burger, as I looked up and my date's bacon cheeseburger was almost gone. "OMG this is SO good!" she said, between bites, with a sheepish, half-embarrassed grin on her face. The ambiance really works, too. The art on the wall, the mostly classic-rock playing on the juke, and a pool table. And they have a bar. How perfect. Maybe this isn't a perfect burger, but it's close, and the prices are incredibly reasonable. Easily 5 stars.

I was at the Fenway location the other day with 4 others. We all ordered combo meals and there was also one shake. We were told a 20 minute wait. That wait turned into 60 minutes. As we were coming back from the beach we were required to extend the zip car we rented, which was an additional $7 on top of the nearly $50 we had already collectively spent at Tasty Burger. We finally receive our food and it's all cold. The fries are cold, our burgers are cold, and the shake? WARM as if had been sitting out for a period of time. I really hope you find a way to reconcile this negative experience for us. Waiting an hour when we were quoted 60 minutes is bad enough, but to receive COLD food and a lukewarm shake after the fact is just unacceptable.

JS P.

I was waiting for more than 20 minutes after ordering my burgers and had paid quite a bit more too, so I was thinking this had better be better than McDonalds. It turns out it's much worse! When I came back home with my bag and opened it, I found the french fries missing!! When I called them, I had to wait another 5 minutes just to get a person and this guy started asking me for my order number on the receipt and even my phone number to "verify" (this is over two french fries). I don't know why these guys are in business if they can't even do the basic things right.

Now, I do not consider myself a burger snob like some - I just like a good burger, plain and simple! And what do we have here, hidden next to Fenway? Tasty Burger, and as their name implies - YUM! Now, most people think a good burger is just ground chuck slabbed on a grill. NO WAY! many 'great' burgers are combinations of different cuts of beef, fresh, not frozen, and how they are cooked. And Tasty Burger has the recipe down pretty well. A nice think patty, super juicy, cooked the right way, ready to soak through the wax paper it is wrapped in (yes, it may be juicy and greasy, all the better! You arent eating the burger to be healthy, you re eating it to satisfy your primitive need for a hunk of tasty beef!) The burgers are good size, and I can get away with only eating one (and fries) and be happy. They are priced well, and afforable. They have good outdoor seating, and apparently indoor seating (you can see it, but I hve always stayed outside or gotten take out) Some highlights! - sack of burgers! buy five, get a discount. Wow, are you REALLY that hungry? Or you could use them to bribe your friends to help you out with something. Much better than a sack of McD's... - creative toppings. I am normally boring. I get bacon and cheese. and lettuce. and tomato. yeah, boring. But if you want teryaki sauze and pineapple, sure! They even have dily specials, which are all kid of crazy creations, from deep friend to being on texas toast, to having a hot dog on top of the burger, and even a jersey Shore burger one day! (I was afraid) - Fries are good too. Thin cut, but cooked well, not to greasy, and just enough seasoning. So if youre coming out of a Sox game and hungry, or in the area, give them a try. Very good burgers, just plain good hunks of meat, and worth the few bucks you will pay!

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what the hype is all about. I've heard RAVE reviews for months but not being a huge burger fan, I've been pushing back a bit and have always eaten somewhere else before meeting people. Then presented the opportunity before a Red Sox game to finally give their burgers a shot. Now I have mid-western friends who eat probably 2-3 of these burgers in a sitting (yes they are healthy). When my burger came out with bacon, cheese and avocado, I won't lie, it looked fantastic! It just didn't have the flavor I was really looking for. Even now thinking about it, it wasn't all that memorable except the location. I love that you can sit outside, listen to the noise of the ballpark and lean back on one of their benches. That was bliss after a day at work. So overall, I loved the atmosphere, not keen on the burgers or portions for the price.

Paras S.

Read so many good reviews about this place and I left with a okay experience. I got the veggie burger with fries and extra tasty sauce. I ate outside and while I wasn't expected any real service they way call out orders is pretty confusing. I was in a group of 6 people and ordered last. Got my food first and the rest of my friends all ordered the same thing and their orders came out not in the same order whatsoever. I thought this was a good take on the veggie burger because it included peppers. My stomach ached a little bit later that night but that was probably cause the burger was so hot. Good value just make sure you dont order anything out of the ordinary

Samantha E.

The bar is pretty hip and it's a nice place to get cheap burgers with friends. The Turkey Burger is the BEST! You'd think at a place named after burgers, the beef patty could better compete but they just did the turkey burger proud! It's all I will order now. Order beers by the pitcher, I'd recommend Harpoon IPA, and save about $3 bucks (you get 4 full glasses per pitcher). Will definitely be back!

We stumbled upon Tasty Burger on a walk through Fenway and decided to stop by. It is open until 2am and has a special burger of the day. I have heard mixed reviews like or dislike, so it was an opportune time to try. On the table is a wide selection of sauces on a lazy-susan and I liked that the menu was lamenated. We had the nitro nuggets, the chicken tenders which were spicy, just the way I like it, with a side of creamy ranch $6. We also tried a single patty spicy jalepeno burger served with cheddar cheese sauce, roast jalapeÃ±o $5.5.The burger was super juicy and I really liked the tang of the jalapeno cheese and was really filling. If I am ever in the neighborhood, I would be tempted to try their slushies and milk shakes next time.

So Tasty Burger The name itself is far from modest. So why so goddamn arrogant Tasty Burger! What's the damn deal man. So you think that dang Blue Collar Burger is the hot Sh!t with it's warm tasty burger-ness wrap in deep fried batter wrapper. You think the black and white milk shake is all that mixing chocolate and vanilla ice cream making a savory sweet goop that goes smooth all that!! You think them pile of onion rings, so thin and tightly fried, salty, light and flavorful so unlike Mc Gross and BarferKing is the sh!t... well do you. Okay Ill give you that... Actually this is some of the best Fast food I have ever had. The place has a full selection of beer also. Screw you guys. I'm going to send you my gym bill. I got five pounds ya'll owe me back. Thanks alot. Go here to eat but run a few laps before you do.

MEGAN L.

"That's one tasty burger" Everytime I come here I have a great experience. Awesome staff, burgers cooked perfectly, obsessed with their fries YUM, and can't go wrong with washing it all down with an ice cold Stella for $5. Within walking distance from my apartment which makes for great late night trips since they are open late :o) If you like their facebook page they will let you know through a picture and detail info about the special of day, which somtimes is a burger and sometimes a hot dog. I always look forward to finding out the special. Great place to chill and play pool too, or watch a game at the bar with some gravy fries! 2 very big thumbs up!

Eric W.

Tasty Burger is the devil, but I love it for it. I can pretty much single this establishment out for wrecking my diet, though I'll have victory over you yet, chili cheese fries. The burgers are the stars, tasting like fast food from a time when it was both fast and food. The patties are thick and satisfyingly pink inside. The various toppings I've tried (such as jalapeno, onion, and mushroom) all add dimension and make a good burger great. The aforementioned chili cheese fries, nitro chicken nuggets, milkshakes, and guac and hummus are all tasty sides and treats that help to make the caloric bill much higher than the tab (which will be very reasonable). If you're live in the neighborhood like me, carryout is the way to go. Inside the atmosphere is energetic but somewhere south of comfortable. Grease hangs heavy in the air and the floor is so slick I suspect the floors have been waxed with Crisco.

Elliott R.

Super tasty burger. I liked that my friend and I could get the half and half fries and onion rings, and for $4 it was a huge portion. The burgers were really tasty, with fresh vegetables on top. I am gonna make this a no-brainer stop when I am in the area.

Awesome late night greasy burgers! The hot dogs are a-ok. Burgers are super greasy and delicious. The fries are good too. And if you like one of those string thin fried onions, you would like theirs. Personally, I like the jalapeno burger!

Griffith G.

Yummm... I love the Franklin Cafe, in fact I was accused of purchasing my condo because it was across the street from the Franklin Cafe in the South End. So when I heard that the FC people opened a burger joint I had to try it. I'm not sure why it took so long for me to get over to the Fenway to give Tasty Burger a try, but I know that I will be back soon! Tasty Burger is like Boston's answer to NYC's famed Shake Shack... (Although I do love the Shake Shack Sauce...) Simple "fast food," but high quality yummy goodness! And where else in Boston can you get two good burgers, a pitcher of good beer and a side order of onion rings and fries for under $40.00... I know that there are other restaurants that claim to have good burgers, but I'm tired of paying $20.00 or more for a burger... (ummm hello Radius... and it wasn't even that great!) Thi is a fun, relaxed place to grab a good burger and a beer and not spend a fortune. I hate baseball, but I'm sure if you liked that sort of thing it would be a great spot to go before heading over to Fenway for a game. (I checked to make sure there was not a game the night we ventured over there! I really did not want to get mixed up in a crowd of crazed Red Sox fans...) I must go back and try their shakes.

I happened to find myself near Fenway and thought I'd try Tasty Burger. The servers were nice and welcoming, and the decor inside the restaurant (a mix of kitchy pop art with a pool table and jukebox) was fun. I decided to order a lime-mint slushie and a Gorgonzola burger. The slushie was great. The minty lime flavor was refreshing (yes, even on a cold January day) and not too sweet. Soon after, I was brought my burger. The presentation was a bit messy with the cheese/oil/burger juice coating the wrapper. The burger itself was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese added a nice saltiness. However, I felt like it was missing something. Perhaps it was the verging on soggy bun, but I could have used some lettuce to break up the oily taste. It wasn't bad, overall, but for the price ($5.50 for the burger, $4 for the slushie), I just don't feel like I would make the effort to come here. And I'm sorry to bring it up (I'm from California, after all), but places like this just make me miss In-n-Out more.

Good quality and location but long wait and small portion. I decided to get a Turkey Burger but it took about 30 minutes to make. I wanted something fast but I was expecting around a 15 minute wait. When it came out, it was delicious but the portions felt very small for the price (about the size of one and a half big macs). This place has an indoor seating option but it seems mostly for a place to go after or during a Red Sox game. Overall, I wouldn't come here again other than it being convenient. There are much better alternatives in Boston such as: -Uburger (Quicker and similar quality and price to Tasty Burger) -Four Napkin Burger (About equally a long wait but the quality is a lot better and the portion almost twice as big. Inside is a lot more classy. Its very pricey though its the best burger place to go if you want to sit down and eat. ) -Five Guys (Opening in about 2013 Spring near Northeastern. Five guys has large portions, lower quality, and fairly decent wait.) -Pour House (Another place to sit down and eat but the portions are massive. Inside has the same vibe as Tasty Burger but they have half price burgers on Saturdays) -Boston Burger Company (Pricey and fancy like Four napkin burger but portions are as large as Pour House)

What I like about Tasty Burger is that the food and experience is very even. Delicious burgers and hot dogs, excellent onion rings of the stringy variety, and a solid beer selection. TVs to watch a bit while you're there but small enough so there's turnover at the bar. But i get what I came for every single time I go. Burger's always medium, food comes out fast and hot, and the staff is attentive. Relatively inexpensive as well.

Heard about this place from a friend and decided to bring along a couple of my classmates for lunch. The place was a bit hard to find since it was kind of towards the back...so we missed the place. But we finally went back and found it. The place was small and a bit cold but it was interesting. Very casual. The service wasn't that great. Its very laid back. Guests sit themselves in any table. So don't expect professional service from the waitress. I got the burger with the chilli and it was good but a bit greasy. The onion rings are interesting. Its not the onion rings you expect from an outback or a frozen one you buy at the grocery store. It is literally thin onion rings, fried. A little greasy but it was good. Fries were delicious and I like how there were different sauces in each table. Only thing I don't like about this place was the poor service and greasy burgers. I would choose other burger places over this place. The price isn't that cheap...it builds up when you add drinks, sides, and condiments. Its so funny. I was talking about yelping this place while we were eating and I guess the waitress over heard us. Literally a minute after, she comes over and asks if we need anything else....very politely. Hahaha. Yelp FTW.

This place rocks! Great burgers, super shakes... It is all good! Only thing... If you list beer for sale on the menu next to your order window...Don't look at a girl like she has three heads when she tries to order one...

Food wasn't bad, similar to 5 guys with less beef (not a bad thing, by the way) and a little undercooked for my taste. Had the big and tasty with some fries. Fries were decent but way too salty. Food would get 3.5 stars, but service gets an absolute ZERO. They were busy when we went (group of 2), each ordered a burger, split an order of fries, and ordered a pitcher of beer. Food came out in a reasonable time for a fast-food joint, but the beer didn't get to the table until AFTER we had finished the food. Even after the runner brought the food and we reminded him of our order. When the waitress brought the pitcher (30 minutes after we sat down), I told her to take it off and bring the check. Still took another 10 minutes to get the check. Like I said, it was busy, but this isn't a cook-to-order place and they need to get their act together. Won't return specifically for the food, like I said, decent if you're in the area, but really just 5 guys with a beer menu. If you get your beer.

Great burger place. Now that my wife has gone back to being a vegetarian, I probably won't get to go back much, but seriously, that is a tasty burger (please don't say that to the wait staff--I asked them if they had heard that line and the server said, "Only about a thousand times"--go with a different joke. I went with "Are we happy Vincent?) " Anyway, the big kahuna burger really was great--I ordered the double the first time and that was stupid-- literally too much burger. But pineapple, shadings of soy sauce and perfectly cooked burger a very nice taste. Onion rings were better than the fries, but my kids liked it all.

Tasty Burger finally opens in the Fenway! I was so excited to see this coming our way, because I feel like we have still not recovered from the terrible events of January 6, 2009... now there is another spot in our neighborhood for meeting friends and hanging out over a mug, a pitcher, a game of pool, a burger, a burger salad, a slushie, a shaft... A friend and I came out tonight for the inaugural evening, and although Tasty Burger was slammed, we enjoyed frosty cold mugs of beer, and hot, delicious dinners. I enjoyed an organic chicken sandwich, "Buffalo" style. It was steaming hot, the chicken not overly cooked and thus juicy. It was treated with a tangy hot sauce which just might have been Frank's Red Hot (if the extra bottle on the table was an indicator) and creamy bleu cheese. Yum. Did I mention how crunchy the batter on the chicken was? And it was organic! Hallelujah! A sesame bun rounded it out. Yum. My dining companion feasted on a hamburger salad, which is exactly what it sounded like: a burger patty and the requisite baby salad greens, etc. She was somewhat taken aback by the abbreviated salad dressing list (Italian or blue cheese) but recovered and ordered the Italian. She said the burger was fantastic. We were happy. Mugs of beer are brought to you icy, and at $5 for a Harpoon IPA, or $5.50 Hoegaarden or Stella, pretty reasonable. I saw that they offer an assortment of cans of beer, which you could buy in quantity, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Definitely available are pitchers of beer. There is also a nice listing of wines. I liked the spice racks, er tiny lazy susan's, on the tables, featuring Frank's, Lee Kum Kee Sriracha, mustard, ketchup, relish, salt & pepper. All in all, I am really excited to come back to Tasty Burger again. The neighborhood is better for having it. It will be a great place to kick it this fall and winter. Yay!

Tasty Burger was indeed tasty. The Mushroom Burger was quite delicious. The fries we got were a bit overcooked, but with one visit I can't call that a trend, but even still they were delicious. (And big, it was more then enough for the two of us). The burgers are reasonably sized for the price as well. It is better then most Fast Food, though you can probably do much better in a full American restaurant (and pay a lot more too). I do also have to agree with some of the previous reviewers that the place is a little confusing. With the take out window and the dining room next to it. It was dark but I don't recall seeing any signage. it took a little bit to determine if you ordered at the window and took it inside, or if there was service inside. I also don't recall any "Seat Yourself" sign either and we had to wait awkwardly until someone told us to. Both can easily be resolved with a few signs, which seems odd they haven't resolved this yet. Next time I am in Boston, I do want to go again.

In-N-Out Burger meets Five Guys in this refurbished gas station burger joint. I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, beer cans served in coozies or learning the take out window was open until 2am. Brought to you by the owners of Franklin Cafe' and the soon to come Citizen, Tasty Burger is my ideal burger spot. With several choices on the menu including turkey burgers and a house made veggie burger, there's definitely something for everyone. In addition to the outdoor patio, the inside is reminiscent of what use to be a gas station with the big garage doors, which were kept open as fall approaches. Filled with a large bar, pool table, and juke box for the music of your choice, Tasty burger is just what Fenway needed. The portions are large, the prices are affordable, and its only a few steps away.

This was my second visit to this unassuming burger spot. My first visit was very good but... let be honest, like most of you, I was several beers deep so my judgment may have been clouded.This latest visit confirmed my suspicion. By far the best burger in Boston! It's like In-and-Out has opened better version of itself in the Hub.

Now that is a tasty burger! Tasty Burger boats a strong showing of inexpensive, unashamedly greasy, comfort-tastic griddled burgers, ranging from the humble cheeseburger to the tangily excellent mushroom burger to the fully ridiculous deep fried blue collar burger to the Pulp Fiction-inspired Big Kahuna burger. (The veggie burger is made there, too, and really tasty, so you can convince your vegetarian friends to join you also!) Other highlights include the nitro nuggets -- think buffalo chicken nuggets -- and the excellent thin and salty onion strings. Lots of places will make me a greasy burger, though -- similar burger joints include Flat Patties, UBurger, and Five Guys. Are Tasty's Burgers better than those burgers? I'm not sure. But what is better about Tasty Burger is the sense of fun, the super-friendly service -- oh, and the BEER. Seriously people, I'm just not that interested in your burgers if I can't wash them down with a cold beer. Tasty Burger offers the standard Boston tap list, more or less, but with the added bonus of available pitchers and beer service in extremely satisfying to toast steins. (They also have tall boys of High Life, PBR, and 'Gansett for just over $3.) Even better, there's free pool, a fun jukebox, and a giant mural of Sammy J chowing down on a Big Kahuna burger.

Great, cheap burgers. I ordered a regular burger, and split an order of fries with the boy. I don't think you can get any better burger for under $5 in Boston proper. The meat is fresh-ground, and you can tell. I like that you can sit down inside or get take out. The fries are AMAZING- thick cut but still crispy!

Gabby G.

Missing 1 star only because of the poor beer selection. Otherwise the food is delicious, and the service is grand. The fries are just OK- they are pencil-thin fries. Great environment, and definitely affordable.

Mark C.

Okay so I've been back a couple of times now that they've gotten their sea legs, and it's still a mixed bag. The service has improved, and their beer selection looks decent. I don't know about $13 for a pitcher of Bud Light, though... or am I just spoiled from my days at Northeastern paying $7 for same at Punter's? Anyway, I had a bacon cheeseburger the other day and it was decent. Server was a dude who was fairly attentive, so that was cool. Bro and I split fries because that's a lot of fries. Went back tonight and got a turkey burger... no es bueno, Tasty Burger. Thing was chock full of onion chunks and caraway seeds (y'know, those little seeds in sausage?) and I was NOT a fan. Live and learn, though. The chocolate milkshake I got was bomb, though. Brother described it as "such a chocolatey chocolate shake." Service was, again, pretty good, and the food comes out really quickly. It's around the corner from me, so I'll definitely be back sporadically.

TASTY BURGER SAVED MY LIFE. Yeah. That's right. For real. We went to a hip hop show at the House of Blues, and we were waiting for like 3 hours for these fools to come on stage, and I drank a few too many Guinnesses and then after the show I was all like, "TASTY BURGER!" and we went around the corner and wha-BAM! And it was awesome. OMG, their fries are so crispy. And I think I remember really liking the turkey burger, but I can't remember so well. But I know it was good. And I knew I would like Tasty Burger because I LOVE the Franklin, and it's the same owners, and they are my heroes. I'm a major food brat, so even though I'm writing this silly post, I seriously know that they make wonderfully inspired food. Love you guys! Can't wait for the Citizen Public House to open across the street! EEEEE!!!!!!

Stopped in here for lunch the other day with some coworkers. It reminded a lot of U Burger with similar quality and prices. The difference was that this place was a little less fast foodish than there. That said don't expect typical sit down restaurant service although the waitstaff and bartenders were good. The atmosphere is funky with it being converted from a gas station. They have some take out windows on the outside as well as a sit down area inside with a bar and a pool table in addition to tables. The beer selection was surprisingly good (a number of craft brews were mixed in with the usual selections) and they offered frappes as well. The food selection is pretty much burgers and dogs. I went with a jalapeno burger which was tasty although more messy than I would have expected. My coworker and I split an order of the 50/50 fries and onion strings. I liked the onion strings and fries, but they were a little overly salted. I will definitely be heading back to try a dog and a frappe.

Went there before a sox game. Place was crowded but was seated quickly. Ordered the BBQ burger med well but was told only can order medium or well. Why? Seems foolish to me. Keep it on the grill a minute longer than medium. Chocolate shake was ok but priced high at almost $5. Onion rings and fries just average. Burger was ok. U burger blows this place away.

Carolyn J.

Cool spot to grab a beer and a burger! Enjoyed the gas station rehab and most importantly the yummy burger options. Coin toss won me a mushroom, swiss topped burger that went perfect with my Koozie-covered can of beer and basket of 50/50 onion/fries. The service was friendly and attentive. Pros: Fun atmosphere Fast and Friendly Service Good Menu selection Tips: Don't come if you want to eat something healthy Ladies Room is lacking in style and comfort a bit!

Any burger nerd will tell you there are two types of burgers in this world: fast-food and gourmet. Both have their right place and time and ladies and gentleman Tasty Burger is a fast-food style burger done perfectly. I can't even count how many times I have been there in the past month. I have had almost everything on their normal burger menu and every single thing is at least a four out of five. I have also tried many of their special burgers which are delicious. For fast food burgers, the burgers are really light on grease and the toppings are always really, well, tasty. My two favorites on the normal menu would have to be Blue Collar burger and the JalepeÃ±o burger (the cheese sauce is awesome). The atmosphere is so cool, funky and fun that I have actually turned it into a late night destination for my buddies and me. Using the shell of a converted gas station, the inside has interesting decoration, a pool table and bar serving up some of the best canned beers you will find in Boston. Beer fans rejoice! Oskar Blues and Six Point are a couple of their canned offerings. Service whether inside or out is always friendly and attentive (minus my missing water bottle that I left there... my b!). Mike is really cool, search him out when you are there. Overall there are not enough good things i can say, maybe a more diversified shake menu? The green monster is really good but it is the only thing out of the ordinary. Oh, and, my girlfriend LOVES their veggie burgers. She even orders a double. Score for me to be able to eat a burger on a date with my non-meat loving gal and have her be just as stoked as I am.

I was with my Dad coming out of BWH, and he was hankering for a greasy hamburger. Let's try the Tasty Burger. Good burger, the most important thing. Better than the Guys burger out of Virginia. And the 50/50 fries/rings were a hit, though I found the onion rings to be more onion strings. Though good. Just harder to grab a handfull, rub them in some ketchup, and smash them in my mouth. The drink options put this burger joint on a different plane than the usual soda option styled place. A BIG plus. We would both go back, and the parking in their front lot made parking easy. My Dad's handicapped parking sticker made parking even EASIER!

I was pretty excited to see Tasty Burger open since I live across the street, but unfortunately it's just not very good. I've gone twice. ~ Hamburgers ($4) are flat out too salty (both times). In this case, extra salt doesn't make me want to drink -- it merely kills the natural flavor of beef. ~ Hamburgers are simply not like In-N-Out (as mentioned in some of the early media coverage) -- these have nowhere near the same amount of veggies, the patty is a lot thicker, and these burgers are served completely dry (no special sauce, mustard, etc.). ~ The bar only has beers on tap and in cans... no bottles. 3 parties in a row each had a woman ask for something not available, like cider. ~ On the positive side, they have a bathroom, are open late, have a great location (for me), and during a Red Sox game this place makes the neighborhood smell delicious. Hopefully these guys will get better. Now I'm kind of worried about the Citizen bar the same mgmt team is opening across the street.

This place is great! I wish Tasty (as I'll now affectionately dub them) had been here just a few years sooner, so my beau and I could have had time to reap in their burger goodness! Back in the old days, all we had to choose from was McDonalds or Burger King. And they closed at 10 and 11 pm. Imagine that, kids. Tasty Burger did not exist! You just don't know how good you have it. The prices are reasonable, although not as cheap as a Number One at the McDee. However, quality, quality, my friends. The meat is juicy, moist and grilled to perfection, with a slight smoky crisp on the outside. The veggies are fresh and crunchy. The bread didn't blow my mind, but it's better than a run-of-the-mill bun (wonder where it's from). They've got toppings aplenty. The fries were amazing as well, and a generous portion at that. The atmosphere in Tasty is just awesome. If it had been around when I lived in Fenway, I can guarantee I would have been there more often than would be good for my superior vena cava. Outdoor patio seating. They support local artists by displaying their work (points for cool factor too). The service is quick and friendly. They serve beer on tap. They play good music. They have flat screen HDTVs. They've got both tables, booths and bar seating. They've got clean bathrooms (for now). They offer free parking - yes, you heard me right - FREE PARKING. It's everything a drunk (or sober) Bostonian could want in a late night (or after work) burger joint. Waiting for a reason to go back? I think yes.

I like this place. The burger wasn't gross, like McDonald's usual fare, but rather it had fresh lettuce and tomato. Imagine that! It was a bit on the greasy side, but you're eating a burger...you gotta go all the way! Mine was a bit pink in the middle, which I found to be weird for a thinner patty. It was tasty though. I loved their 50/50 onion rings and fries. They were more onion strings than rings but I loved that, to be honest.

Ben K.

Well, holy balls. That burger is goddamn deep fried, my friend. Deep fried, and not stupid, which is itself a paradox of delicious crispy outershell giving way to moist and meaty inner heaven. Slicked down with some honey mustard, paired with just a hint of lettuce and pickle (because a man cannot live on fry alone), and you have yourself just about the best midnight-drunk-munchies-after-downing-a-few-Âcocktails-across-the-street-at-Citizen snack a man can ask for--especially when you wash it all down with a tallboy of High Life. If you're not feeling the fry, the rest of the menu looks equally delectable, and the "nitro" nuggets my partner in crime ordered were stellar. Just not battered and fried beef. It's hard to compete. With pool in the back, exposed brick used-to-be-a-gas-station aesthetic, and convenient bar seating, the only thing missing is Sammy J coming down from his wall-mural and sitting right down beside you yelling about motherfuckers needing to calm down. Maybe after a few more High Lifes.

This is your run of a mill burger place.It has been 3 hours and I'm still full, so it did the job. There is nothing amazing about this place, except maybe the onion rings, but it is a place worth trying when in the area when with some friends. Good music, friendly staff, OK food, and pool makes this place a great night spot after the bar to sit and continue drinking/filling your stomach with some drunk food. The raspberry lime Rickey was good, the butter burger was mouth watering, bringing out the flavor of the burger even more. The bacon cheeseburger was typical. The 50/50 was great, though the onion rings are by far the greatest item on the menu. Next time, I'll try the fried burger.

Katie W.

My first experience here was after a chilly fall day of golf so I was starving and craving a good burger and Tasty Burger definitely did not let me down! Juicy, flavorful and drenched in toppings, my blue cheese and grilled onion burger was fantastic! The french fries were crispy and salty and the raspberry lime ricky hit the spot. Their burgers are very reasonably priced at $5 considering the quality and they serve beer and wine. A black and white milk shake for dessert was the perfect way to end the day! Also love that its open late night!

Anuj S.

I don't see what all the hype is over the burgers here. I know the burger is fresh made (seen it made on TV) but it looks like a freakin' frozen disc. That being said, some of the other items on the menu look decent. The nitro nuggets are pretty good, and the hot dog is huge and they have lots of toppings. Chili is my favorite. The first time I went they had the thick cut fries, but each time afterwards they had the tiny ones. I prefer the thick cut. The best part about this place I think is that they're open until 2AM EVERYDAY and they serve beer. They also have quite a bit of outdoor seating when it's nice out. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and they have pool tables inside. Kind of a cool concept for a restaurant. The food is your typical run of the mill stuff, but with some added creativity. Tasty Burger and Citizens (right acorss the street) are owned by the same people. Bottom line, if it's late and you are in need of food, this is probably a good place to go.

Finally! A decent cheap burger dive in Boston! The regular burgers are perfect size (not ridiculously big but just enough) and yummy tasting. Fries are very good and crispy. Shakes are nice finishing touch to the meal! You can order at the window and sit at the outside picnic tables, or you can sit inside and be served. Either way, it's got a great burger ambience at this old gas station. Great place to stop before or after a game at Fenway or movie at Regal.

I work around the area so I stop by last week to check it out. Our Waitress was attentive. We had the all the way dog - burger, hot dog, bacon, chili, cheese for $12. It was pretty good for the price. We also had the turkey burger ($5.50) which I thought was better than alot of the burger places I've been to. We also had the 50/50 fries and Onion Wings which I thought was alright. I was pretty chili inside the restuarant but I think it's a great place to go during the summer time!! It's a good addition to the Fenway area.

Tasty Burger never fails to make me happy. The burgers are always served super quick and on a warm, buttery bun. Mm, makes me happy just looking at it. The meat is cooked just right, not overdone, but not too rare either. The only thing negative that it is a bit small. I wish it were bigger, but that's just me. The onion strings are also very good. They're much better than the fries. Even so, I still get the 50/50, just because a burger without fries doesn't seem right. If I'm ever craving burgers, I come here.

Parker H.

Fantastic burger! walked around aimlessly after a show at the House of Blues looking for something open at 12:30a on a Sunday. Walked up to the take-out window and asked if we could still get something. "Hell yeah", she said, "Dining room and bar is open until 2:00am" So we entered into a Burger Nirvana. The Cheese Fries were unreal good with creamy, rich. smooth melted cheese and rich Chili. The Chicago style Hot Dog was a fork and knife affair with crunchy pickles, and crisp lettuce and perfect seasonings. The beer was chilled ice cold. The service was friendly and efficient. What more could you ask for?
(5)
Peter K.

OK, Well I tried it again, cause it really is a cute atmosphere, and I want to see it do well..... but it just isn't good food. I was sure this time to ask them to cook the burger well, and it was just OK. So then thought I'd try a salad to avoid the bad fries... But the salad was not any better than the fries. It was served in a plastic container like you get from the supermarket, and was freezing cold - apparently just taken out of the freezer recently and not completely thaw. Go for a beer, and have a burger if you are really hungry and don't care what it tases like.

It's another burger joint. I had their bacon cheeseburger, protein style, which was just a burger. I also had their french fries smothered in sausage gravy, which was really good. It's just another burger joint, so it's not something to rave about. But worth writing a Yelp review, apparently.

3.8 Stars. Good "Cheap" burger joint, second only to UBurger, I think. A couple of advantages it has on Uburger: - options on fries (cheesy fries, etc) -different combos than Uburger (butter burger, etc) -hot dogs I think Tasty Burger and UBurger are mostly fairly matched - it's just that my FAVORITE burger from Uburger is better than my favorite at Tasty Burger. And the fries, while without options, are better at UBurger.

Tasty Burger is a really fun spot. The converted Gas Station ambience is really cool. The burgers are great and the get bonus points from me for serving Narragansett Beer. I also recommend it as a decent place to catch the Patriots games on their plasma TVs. One small complaint. It's a bit loud. I like loud music, but in here it's tough to hear the person sitting across the table from you. - But the music selection is great, so it's not a major complaint.

Tasty Burger would've gotten three stars if it weren't for our waitress. She never came by to ask if we wanted refills on our drinks, gave us the check when we weren't even done with half of our food and kept trying to make us leave. It was weird because the place wasn't even packed and there were no other customers waiting for seats- why the big hurry? I got the Onion burger ($5.50) and my friend got the Hubba burger ($5.50). Both were really big and juicy. It would've been better if they toasted the bun but I guess every place is different. We also got the 50/50 to share- which is half fries, half fried onion curls ($4). One thing I really liked was the variety of sauces they have at the table. They had the regular (ketchup, mustard, relish) and they also had sriracha and bbq sauce. Overall, good portions, decent taste, bad service.

I lived in the Fenway area for a number of years and was a huge fan of the delicious veggie burger with extra dill pickles. Tasty Burger is a great treat after a long work-week. Finally, on a weekend off I made the trek from downtown Boston to Fenway solely for a yummy veggie burger. I got a seat at the bar, placed my order, and my food was ready to be enjoyed just minutes later. I noticed a group of 4 or 5 guys cheering on a friend who was completing the Colossal All-The-Way Dog Challenge. I understand why restaurants have these, however after my experience I think Tasty should seriously consider removing it from the menu. Once the guy completed the challenge and he suddenly became very serious looking. He didn't look well, and while there was a small bucket beside him he didn't make it anywhere near the bucket. He projectile vomited over half the restaurant multiple times. Puke was everywhere, all over the guy, the bar, floor, and tables. The staff promptly ran to get mops and cleaner, but it was so disgusting I can never go back. Tasty, please take the challenge off the menu! Don't lose any more loyal customers!

Just stopped into Tasty Burger for the first time on July 29th before the Red Sox game. I'm a huge fan of cheese fries, I pretty much have to try them at every place they are offered. We weren't too hungry so we just split an order of spicy cheesy fries. Wow! Sooo good! Tasty burger is a must for our next Boston trip! Can't wait to try out the rest of the menu!

You know those kinds of nites, when you've been out drinking with friends all nite, and it's been hours since you ate anything substantial? You know how those nites always end poorly? (Sausage from a cart at 1:00 am? Never a good idea. Raiding tomorrow's lunch when you get home? Passable until it's lunch time tomorrow. Actually attempting to cook while drunk? Dangerous territory my friends.) Well, Tasty Burger could make those kinds of nites a thing of the past. This former gas station, turned retro-styled, indoor-outdoor, fast food burger joint, open 'til 2 am, is also living up to its name; in my opinion. I love the fact that their burgers are cooked medium by default; so that what you get is flavorful, tender patty delivered quickly in a fresh tasting bun, with equally fresh toppings. My cheeseburger was a little messy, and I found myself scooping a bit of cheese that was sticking to the wrapper back onto the burger. With so many different delicious sounding burgers on their board, I couldn't convince my crew to order a sack of burgers, hard as I tried. I love French fries, but rarely order them at fast food places because I am always disappointed. But after stealing a few of Ben L's fries last nite, I was disappointed in myself for not having faith and ordering up my own. They are thin cut, but they also are perfectly crispy, lightly seasoned and you can actually taste the potato rather than just grease and salt which seems to be the taste that most Americans want in their fries. The few onion strings I also stole from a companion were not too greasy, and again, the taste of the onions really came through. Non-food related details that I noticed, even from the perspective of ordering outside from the walk-up window included heaters built in under the awning, which helped keep the chill out of this dreary, wet evening, an actual parking lot (but probably not on game days!), and attentive service. When it comes to fast food burger joints, where "meh" has become the passable norm, this *is* as good as it gets.

Onion burger is my Jesus. I have never had a better burger. I've tried a bunch of them on the menu, and loved every single one. I come here at least once a week, sometimes twice. I may gain 300 lbs but it's sooo worth it. Same owners as Citizen Public house so you know it's quality. These people know what they are doing, unlike a bunch of other places in the neighborhood. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent prices. They are literally doing everything right!

I had been meaning for quite some time to try Tasty Burger because I had heard it was good and had read the reviews. Unfortunately, good was no where near what it was. I ordered the tasty burger classic and took it home to eat it, and when it got there and cut it in half to eat it, the burger was almost completely raw in the middle. I also ordered the 50/50 for fries and onion rings and the fries were actually quite good, but the onion rings were messy and again, way too greasy. I will not be eating here again.

Great atmosphere! Great beers on tap, hard cider, and a pool table! Stay clear of the butta-burger! it is a burger soaked in butter. First 3 bites=heaven next 7 bites=HELL

I've come back a few times in the past two months for take-out only. I ordered the single both times with fries, rings and the amazing chicken nuggets. Everything was cooked as requested and my hubby also enjoyed his burger even if it was really messy. The take-out guy put plenty of extra napkins in the bag so bonus points there. I have no idea if the service has improved but I do enjoy the burger. Juicy, hot and very tasty - what's not to love. We just parked in the lot and snacked on our burgers, very nice.

When did this place open? Walking down Boylston in Fenway recently, we noticed that what was formerly an old gas station is now a souped-up, diner-style burger joint within a block or two of Fenway Park. That said: -The organization of the place is weird. There wasn't a host(ess) waiting inside the door to seat us, nor was there a sign that told us to seat ourselves. The result was that we stood awkwardly for a few minutes while we waited for a table to open up. We were noticed quickly by a waitress once we sat down, but not before then. -Burgers were reasonably-priced, the sides were huge (and only $3 or $4), and they had a respectable (if small) beer selection. -The food itself was good, although not great. The food cost about the same amount as it would at Friendly's, and it was definitely better than Friendly's, but that doesn't exactly make for a catchy slogan. Bottom line is that there wasn't really anything to distinguish it from Boston's other burger joints (Uburger, b.good, etc.), and in some ways it actually came up a little short. It's new, so they have some time to improve, but I probably won't go out of my way to return.

Somebody turned that old gas station over by Fenway into a burger place... I guess I should check it out. The burger scene has gotten pretty crowded in the last couple of years, with any number of would-be east coast In-N-Outs popping up all over town. UBurger holds it down in Kenmore, 5 Guys has sprouted everywhere in the suburbs, and places like Boston Burger Company in Davis are worthwhile new entries. Sadly, Tasty Burger falls just shy of the upper echelon of burgerdom. For one, the patty in my burger was a little thicker and drier than I prefer. I could replicate this burger on a backyard grill, and I'm the kind of guy who prefers his burgers cooked on a griddle, so they stay juicy. Also, there were a limited number of specialty burgers that one could choose from, and none of them were what I *really* wanted. UBurger has specialty burgers, but you can also construct your own creation by mixing and matching toppings. I like that. The take-out window is a great option and gives the place a west coast kind of feel, but on a rainy night I had to go inside, and having tip a waitress or bartender added a few dollars to the cost of the meal - at 5 Guys and UBurger you don't have to bother with this. There's a downside that fries cost a few dollars extra (with no combo options that I saw), but they do offer onion rings and a fries/rings mixture. I want to love you, Tasty. You sell burgers. I like burgers. You have beer. I like beer. But you're serving one of the more affordable and easily accessible foods on the market right now, which means yours have to be all that much better than the competition's.

Worst burger ever! Definitely does not live up to its name! It's a buger joint, the one thing they're suppose to be good at is making burgers! Sadly, Tastey Burger is NOT! I was asked when ordering if my burger cooked medium would be ok, yes, that would have been great, way better than the RAW burger I received! It was so undercoook I could not eat it! I'm talking cold in the middle! Now, sending it back would have been a nice option but I got take out and didn't discover this until I was a few miles down the road after a Red Sox game! There was no going back! Ever!!

When it comes to burger joints, vegetarians usually do not fair well. In the case of Tasty Burger, there is one vegetarian burger option. It's made of mushroom and is actually one of the better burgers I've had. Not In-N-Out good, but something I wouldn't mind eating again if, say, a group of friends all voted on eating there. I also helps that it's super cheap, so you don't feel like you are overpaying for a Morningstar burger or anything. Fries and onion rings are good - I really like that the onion rings are stringy and thin. I love that you can get a 50/50 basket, but good luck finishing it. I think more than half the basket was left intact, even with 3 people sharing it. Next time, I think I'm going to go for the hummus, guacamole and chips. I hear good things. The shake was also good - exactly what you would expect. I shared it with friend and it was more than enough. What really helps give this place 3 stars instead of two is the ambiance. Cool art on the walls. The space sort of mimics the gas station it used to be - there is a garage door that opens in warmer weather. But they've redone it to have just the right touch of retro and the right touch of cool and modern. There's also a pool table and a TV in the back area. When I went, the parking was free, so that was an added bonus. Though $6 is still pretty cheap for Fenway during a game. Overall, I'm not dying to go back. But if I was in the mood for a beer, the veggie burger ain't a bad accompaniment. For more vegetarian reviews, check out: veggiewala.com

Went here for the first time for lunch just to see what all the hype was about and loved it! All the burgers are $5.50 and you can't beat that for any place that's NOT a fast food joint! I had the Black & Blue Burger (which was the special)- it was a burger with blue cheese crumbles and bacon. It was delicious! My friends and I also split the 50/50 (fries and onion rings) which were also very good. FYI, their onion rings aren't the usual thick-cut yellow onions, they're actually very thinly sliced red onions (which I happened to like better!). They were perfect for putting on top of the burger as well as just eating them on the side. Another FYI, all burgers are automatically cooked to medium unless you tell your server otherwise! Lastly, I washed my food down with a neopolitan milkshake. mmm. Definitely considering hanging out at the Fenway bars more often just because Tasty Burger is open until 2am!

I am a vegetarian, except for Tasty Burger!!! This place is fantastic. I'm in love. Their starving student special (burger, fries, and a beer for $10) is perfect.

Tasty Burger is a decent spot, but it doesn't stand out in the sea of burger joints this city has to offer. I'll probably be back, but I won't be fantasizing about Tasty Burger in my sleep. Before I even get to the food, the building is pretty cool. I like the look of the converted garage, and the street art hanging on the walls definitely fits the vibe. There's a jukebox (computer) and a pool table, plus a bunch of TVs showing football and basketball. It's also a HUGE plus that they have a parking lot, though I wouldn't count on being able to park during the summer. It's just a short walk from Fenway, and those spots are worth about $50 during a game. Regardless, we drove, and we parked. It was awesome. I will, however, agree that the floor is incredibly slippery and I wouldn't want to walk on it when it's wet. Also, I don't trust how airtight those garage doors are. I could see gaps, and I bet they leak in a lot of cold air. But let's talk about food. My boyfriend and I split the 50/50 fries and onion rings (they're really more like onion crisps). The fries were mediocre, but the onion rings were awesome. It was more like 75% fries to 25% onions rings though, which was a little disappointing. I ordered the onion burger on top of that, which had even more onion crisps along with some gooey cheese. It was a very sizable burger, and pretty tasty. While I prefer my burger medium-rare, I like that TB's standard is to cook to medium rather than rare, like so many fast food burger spots. The burger was pretty greasy, but greasy means juicy, so no major complaints. I did think it was sort of weird that my soda was served in a bottle rather than from a fountain, but I can deal with that. Something to keep in mind is TB's Starving Student Special. Burger/cheeseburger, fries, and a draught of bud or bud light for $10. Not that I'm eager to down a bud anytime soon, but for broke college kids who are used to bad "beer," it's probably a great deal.

Definitely a tasty burger. Probably not my favorite burger in Boston, but never disappoints. Great fries and rings too. Basically a gourmet Five Guys, and that's ok with me. Order a double if you want more than a quarter pounder. Also, given the proximity to Fenway Park, you probably want to avoid on a Red Sox game night.

It was... in a word... tasty! Went to Tasty Burger after a night out (they are open until 2am!)... it was a nice way to finish up the night. 50/50 onion rings/fries are great option for those of us who are a little indecisive. Tasty got both the rings and the fries right! Yumm! The burger was nothing special, just a well made burger on a soft bun... can't complain. Their milkshakes, on the the other hand, were amazing!! I recommend the Green Monster = mint chocolate chip milkshake. It was blended perfectly... so good. I'll be back for that for sure!

Sometimes you don't know how much you needed something until you have it. I guess I'm an open-minded burger guy. As we all know, not all burgers are created equal. When I want a Whopper, I get a Whopper. I know what I'm getting. It tastes pretty good. It's probably not that good for me. When I want to splurge, I'll get a Kobe-beef burger, you know, when my companions are getting "the sea bass" or "the duck confit." I mean, I probably haven't done that more than I can count on one hand, but I'll do it. They taste pretty darn good, too, in their own way. Enter Tasty Burger. It's more an approach than a burger. Retro-hip gas station. Well-done and creative. Take-out window. Novel, and kind of an equalizing move on their part: At all hours, all manner of men, twenty- to fifty-somethings, construction workers, hospital folk, corporate types, ballpark crowds... line up for their burgers. Conclusion: All dudes like burgers, doesn't matter who you are. (I'm not saying that women *don't* go. On the contrary, the dining-in crowd is your young and hip segment that expectedly digs the partly-retro, partly-half-poppy-grunge-minimalist ambience, Samuel Jackson wall graphic, pool table, open garage doors, etc. I'm just saying that, objectively, looks to me that dudes like waiting at take-out windows for a burger.) The burger is not out of this world. But it's above average. Solid taste, minimally seasoned. In this case, the toppings make the burger. And topping options are a plenty. The onion straws are nicely salty and light, although still a little greasy, but that doesn't stop me from ordering them. I even tried a "shaft" the other day on the way to work. It was so big that I ate half before work and the other half during my break. Again, toppings make the shaft. And, apparently, length does matter. Lastly: My gf has tried the veggie burger twice now. (Oh, how I love that she indulges me.) Sort of in a neutral tone, she says it tastes more "tofu-y" than any veggie burger she's had before. The first time, it seemed to sort of fall apart on her. The second, it stayed together to the point that she felt it was a different recipe. That's what you get with homemade, I guess. Anyway, the Fenway has gotten another boost with a fun place that fills a gaping niche that no one realized was empty. But now that it's here, I'm holding on tight, having fun shooting the breeze with the dudes in the takeout line, and on occasion stepping inside for a cold beer to complement the experience.

Oh no. Tasty Burger was so untasty that it inspired me to write my first review! I LOVE me a good burger but the standard no-frills cheeseburger I tried at lunch today was almost inedible... it wasn't cooked! I read the sign (saying they cook everything medium unless specified) before ordering and asked for my burger med-well - it still came out pink and moo-ing. No thanks! I was only able to eat around the perimeter - where it was actually cooked. I went back up for fries and onion rings because I was still so hungry. They were the tastiest thing about my meal. Also, teenie tiny drinks and overall not quite the bargain I was hoping for. Sorry to say this potential Fenway gem just fizzled.

Good, solid, juicy burger that was quickly prepared and served by a friendly staff. The Gorgonzola topping on mine kinda stole the show as it is wont to do. Will definitely try again, at least to have a bier with my burger. The brewed beverage selection was small but most excellent. Will update upon my next visit.

Sooo good! Burgers, fries and shakes are all very good. Closest thing I have found to an In and Out Burger in the East. Plus you can choose between sit-down service or ordering at the take-out window. Great place to go after a show. Open late and has a full bar.

I went in and ordered from the menu. The waitress was very pleasant and on the ball. My burger was done medium rare which I had asked for and it was cooked perfectly. The fresh vegetables I had as add ons were delicious as was my cooked bacon. I had a chocolate shake to drink and the waitress was smart enough to provide water since the shakes took longer to make than expected. The shakes were creamy and very rich. The fresh cut fries were incredible and needed nothing more than ketchup to become perfect. The food was a bit pricy but well worth it. To quote Samuel L. Jackson, "now that's a tasty burger."

Daniel G.

Great burgers and cheap beer. I had the big kahuna burger, a great balance of sweet and heat. The bartenders are always friendly and on top of their game. Great artwork on the walls from one of my favorite movies, Pulp Fiction. How can you beat a tall boy of Ghannset and a burger? You can't. Tasty Burger just wants to make you stand up and say "that's a tasty mother f'ing burger." Check out the Red Sox schedule before you go, this place gets crazy on game day.

Bad life decisions coming in here... just horrible. First off, this is a land of delicious, meaty, bloody, topping-happy burgers. Then mix in my other favorite thing, a bar, and we're just on a roll at this point. Throw in super friendly bartender Lem, awesome decor, and even a nasty (but somehow I'm deeply curious to see if I can do it) food challenge, and this place makes me want to scream out T-t-t-t-t TASTY, TASTY! Like I said, bad life decisions.

Bartender Lem makes it worth your while to visit. For a beer, tell him your go-to beers and he'll recommend something new to try. Guarantee he'll be spot on. Food is probably good too, but let's be honest, who goes to a bar for the food? Definitely an up and coming hot spot, avant-garde beer selection which reflects a bygone era garnished by a friendly staff. Cheers to Lem and the rest of the staff.

This is a revision to my previous review where I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The second time around was a complete u turn. I came here with my girlfriend on saturday to grab a quick bite after our run. They didnt have any slushees, which sucked, but its cool shit happens. We order our food from the bartender, who ends up being the laziest, inattentive individual I've dealt with in literally years. I got a cheeseburger, which was on par with Burger King at best. Her buffalo chicken sandwich was disgusting, borderline inedible. And the weirdest thing: she also ordered an iced tea, and asked for some sugar. Would you know it took five minutes of searching, and all they could come up with was ONE lousy sugar packet? What kind of place is this? Not going back, have fun scamming drunk idiots piling out of Fenway Park, assholes.

Tasty Burger is as close to In & Out as this West Coast transplant has found, with the added bonus of onion rings, hots dogs (shafts) and the best damn neopolitan shake that I have ever had. Their burgers are fresh, massive and delicious and the onion rings and fries come in huge orders (you can definitely split an order between two people) that you can even order as a 50/50 so you don't have to pick favorites. Their beer selection is always changing and never disappointing and you can always pay an extra buck for a koozie to keep you beer nice and cold. The staff are really nice and attentive and the jukebox is always cranking out good music. I love that it is in an old garage; in the summers they open the doors for a great breeze and they used the space that they have well. There is a parking lot and a walk-up window for to-to orders, and even during home Red Sox games we have managed to find a spot in their lot which is partially used for game parking (but you don't have to pay, don't worry). Everyone wants to be good at burgers, but Tasty Burger is one of the few that really does it right and remain fun and casual about it. I'm a fan.

I just had the butter burger medium with a root beer float and fries. I am sugar high and think I'm going to have a heart attack in the next hour. Wow. Good thing there a bunch of hospitals nearby... Great spot though. They have fast and friendly service and they got a pool table! Burger was alright. In and out, all the way.

Simply delicious! I loved my cheeseburger with sauteed onions. Sometimes, there's just nothing better than a burger, and having vowed last year never to go to McDonald's again, I confess I've missed the fast burger experience. I do not mean to say that Tasty Burger and McDonald's should be compared to one another, however, since Tasty Burger is in another league on every level but the drivethrough. I stood at the take-out window and ate my burger in the car on the way to my destination, so I can't comment fairly on the inside, but the window was quick and the guy behind it was really cute. I thought Tasty Burger beat out the apparently popular Five Guys Burgers and Fries (I went to the one in Dedham) hands down. Next time I'm headed out that way, it will be the gorgonzola burger!

Decent burger (better than 5 Guys) but even better thin fries. They were hot and the oil must have been fresh, as they were golden. Service was fast and friendly. Old gas station with cool funkiness inside. Great art. Bar had The Cartoon Network on the tv. Beer list seemed decent...and in cans.

Tasty burger is not so tasty. It was a really disappointing lunch experience. I just ordered a cheeseburger and fries in order to try the basics. The cheeseburger was so dry and SO SMALL. I felt really sad just looking at it, and another friend said that it looked like something from Dairy Queen just twice the price. Fortunately the fries were better but since they were busy they over salted them - by A LOT. The only thing good that came from Tasty Burger was the mint lime slushie, but that wasn't cooked. Overall, I'd have to be really hard pressed to come back here.

I've watched this old gas station convert into Tasty Burger on my drive to the office...finally today I went here for lunch with my boss and another co-worker. We each had a burger - me the onion burger (carmelized & onion rings on a cheeseburger) they both got the spicy jalapeno burger. All were delicious. We got one order of fries and one of onion rings (made with red onion - YUM!) they were plenty to split between the three of us....both were great. It was so nice to sit outside too and people-watch as we enjoyed our lunch - I'll go back for sure!

We were so curious to try this new place out, especially because we love burgers and compare all to one of our favorite places, UBurger. The pros: great location and lively, fun environment. Love that it was the old gas station. The cons: the food! Surprisingly, you'd think that with a name of "Tasty Burger," the burger would be tasty. But no, they're not. They're mediocre. I ordered the mushroom burger and asked for it without A-1 steak sauce, which the waitress told me they couldn't do. The sauce overwhelmed the burger! My friend ordered the gorgonzola burger which was better. Plus, we got lukewarm fries...ugh! All that said, I'd like to try this place again if the quality of its burgers improves.

Outside of some of the upscale places around town, this is the most Sinfully Delicious burger place you've ever been to. Of course you're there at 1am and perhaps your standards are not quite what they are at earlier hours, but so much the better. The Onion burger is fantastic. Simple, classic burgers and ingredients and so close to Fenway.

Heather N.

Let me just start this review by saying that I've been going to Tasty Burger since it opened and always had a great time. The food is really good, but the staff always made it one of my favorite places to go. This was in the time of John Nugent, Jason Cool, and Josh. That being said, I hadn't stopped in for a while and a friend asked if I wanted to meet there for lunch and to play a game or two of pool. Of course I was game. I was definitely not game for what happened to us. We walked back to the tables by the pool table and waited for a server to come by while we racked up a game of pool. 1) the pool table kept jamming up and took forever to get set up. A manager came by to try to fix it and told us it was going to be that way because they don't have any WD40 nor would they open up the side to get the balls out (mind you the games are free!); 2) the server never came back to see us (15 minutes after walking in) so we went to the bar to get a menu; 3) a guy comes in with 2 small kids and sits at the table next to ours in the back so a server immediately comes over to them while we're waiting at the bar to get a menu; 4) the guy says he has a large group and they're going to need our table (WHAT?!) and the server says "Oh, these are reserved. Didn't anyone tell you?" SERIOUSLY?! We've been waiting for someone to acknowledge us, let alone tell us that our table is reserved. Couldn't you put a sign on them? Couldn't the manager have told us when she came back to fix the pool table? 5) Not wanting to sit next to multiple 2+ year olds, we moved to the bar. (Still haven't been asked if we wanted to order anything at this point or even apologize for having to move) 6) Sat at the bar and the bartender had absolutely NO personality. I guess I was expecting some kind of conversation based on my past experiences with the bartenders (that have since left), but she took our order, stood looking at us awkwardly and listened to our conversation - again, awkwardly. 7) I placed my order and it came out wrong, but I understand they can get busy at times and things get overlooked All in all, my friend and I both agreed that it's not the fun place it used to be AT ALL. If I want a burger in the future, I'll go to the take out window and eat it at home. On the one plus side, they have a good beer list developing. But I don't think the beer list could convince me to go back there anytime soon...which is sad since friends and I were going there multiple times a week for trivia, beer, food and the bar staff.

I guess I'll add my $.02 to this already heavily reviewed burger heaven. This place seemed to have sprung up over night. I live right in the Fenway and out of no where - BOOM - Tasty Burger. On the outside it looks like it would be a 1950's style do wop diner. I've walked past this place a bunch of times, but it never seemed like it was the right time to try it. One afternoon I had a burger craving so the wife and I said let's give it a go. We were pleasantly surprised to see they had more than a walk up window - and opted for the "sit and eat" route. We walked in to this converted gas station to find a modern, well decorated restaurant. Far from our original expectations. A bar on and several flat screened tv's decorated the back wall. The bar was stocked with strange beers and wines - none of which were particularly exciting to this beer snob - but at the same time I wasn't in the mood for a beer when I visited, so I am going to have to go back with the boys. It was a choose your own seating and the waitress greeted us with a small simple menu. Burgers, dogs, fries or onion rings. I like a place that does one thing right. I got the onion burger and the wifey got a plain hamburger. Both were perfectly cooked and tasty. The fries were golden and delicious, one order was plenty for the both of us. We split a chocolate shake and that was the best decision of the day. It was "order a second one" good. Even after plenty of food and treats the bill was less than 20 bucks for the both of us. The waitress was fun and playful and the atmosphere was relaxed and cool. I will be returning to tasty burger!

Corydon S.

I walking to the subway, I was sucked in by the this neat little burger joint. The smell of cooking burgers hit me as I walked up to place my order at the small take-out window. The women who helped me was cheery, which is always appreciated. I don't eat meat and what passes for a veggie burger usually fails on me, so I ordered the epically unhealthy fries with cheese added on. Besides being a bit over salted they were nearly perfect as junk food goes. Instead of using hard cheese melted on top, the cheese they use here similar to homemade Mac & Cheese sauce. To top it off they throw on some chopped scallion. A few salt shakes away from being the best fries I have had.

This place was great. Went in on a Sunday around 11:30 before a 1:35 sox game. RIDICULOUSLY fast service. Burgers were pretty greasy but delicious. Onion strings were good. I was a big fan of the beer selection. Nice overall variety of styles and breweries. I highly recommend the SixPoint Sweet Action Ale. Top it all off with cool helpful bartenders and a free pool table?? I'll be coming back here whenever I am in the area.

Shan C.

I'm am very happy to see a new restaurant in the Fenway, especially something not so expensive. I will give it four stars even though I was prepared to give it three because the service was great and very friendly upon entering. But I simply was not 'blown away' by this place. I love the idea and how the place looks, but was not thrilled or moved by the 'tasty'-ness of the burgers. Onion strings-eh they were almost no onions in them. I will be back to taste again.

Ra Ra W.

Very disappointed... I order a veggie burger, 50/50 fries and onion rings, and a strawberry shake. Everything was okay except for the veggie burger. ..The description says "loaded with veggies" which is completely inaccurate. It was more like a nothing but mushroom burger! I absolutely hate mushrooms but don't mind a couple here and there mixed in with my food, this though absolutely did me over! I tried picking out the mushrooms until I realized my whole burger was gone. Service was great and prompt, but I regretfully can not say the same about the food.

The service was amazingly fast. You could call this fast food. The burgers were good for the price, a little on the greasy side. Nice beer selection. Unfortunately the meal was ruined for one of us when two long hairs were found in the burger but the waitor was ready to make it right but she had already eaten most of the meal and didn't decide to raise a fuss.

Never too long a wait even when it's packed. Good Beer choices and the burger combinations are great! Wish the patties were bigger but I guess being so cheap all you have to do is stack 'em! Def a great casual place to grab a bite and a beer.

Tasty Burger is a a good old fashioned burger. Exactly what you should expect from a burger in this price range. I like the fact that I can wash it down with a pitcher of beer (with a companion of course). I was very impressed with the onion rings and fries too. The waitress we had may have been having a bad day, but overall, everyone else seemed pretty nice and attentive. It appeared kid friendly too and parking makes it a plus since its in the Fenway.

I'm not normally a burger guy, as they WILL kill you. However, on a recent Saturday afternoon visit, Tasty Burger served up a very delicious burger. I got the Onion Burger, that was smothered in fried onions and Swiss cheese. It was amazingly tasty. Lot's of burgers rely on their juiciness (i.e. melted fat) to supply their taste. Something about the seasoning they use here made this burger exceptional. The burgers come by default cooked medium (they ask if that's what you want, so there should be no surprises.) Mine came medium, but I think next time I'll get medium-well or well. I just don't trust that redness in a burger that I didn't cook myself. The fries were nearly as good as McDonald's. The onion strings were REALLY good. They are very greasy, but loaded with onion flavor. Eat them quickly as the flavor fades as they cool (ours arrived piping hot.) I was surprised that they have beer and wine. The Pats were playing and the bar was full of people watching the 3 flat screens. It was still very family-friendly (I was there with my wife and 7 & 9-year olds.) Our waiter was very friendly and efficient. The only reason that I gave 4 stars versus 5 was the ice cream shake. They describe them as having 4 scoops of ice cream. My wife's arrived warm and as thin as chocolate milk. She sent it back and the waiter apologized (profusely!), took it off the bill and gave her a free Diet Coke. He told us that sometimes when they are really busy they make a bunch of shakes at once and it seemed that this one missed some part of the assembly process. You'll definitely have a good meal at this place. (And free parking to boot!)

This place rawks. Cheap, yummy burgers, (love the veggie burger), salads, sides, slushies, and black and white shakes. Very nice staff, cute bar area--with cheap, yes, cheap beers. A converted garage, it is funky and kitsch, but all and all a good time. Great outdoor picnic style seating in the warmer months. I have been for lunch and fater work, but I would say at 1AM this place gets packed-especially on game nights.

In short, food wasn't as good as I expected for a burger joint. Waitress wasn't friendly and we felt like we were being rushed out. She came over and picked up our burger baskets without asking if we were done (I used mine for my ketchup and occasionally put my burger down bc it was greasy). As for environment, it was small and felt crowded although there weren't many people there. The floors were really slippery for some reason. It did just now but the floor was more greasy than wet. Weird! My friend mentioned yelping this place and the waitress happened to walk by and overheard and tried to be more friendly when she came back around. I wouldn't take anyone to this place, it would just be disappointing.

I'm standing here right now waiting for my zum zum shaft. I'm making my way down the menu and everything has been flippin awesome. This is my company's new go to place for lunch and we're in the south end so it's not that close by. And by the way... Zum zum is yum yum And do try the Sausage gravy on the fries...and burgers...and my fave: on a crispy chicken sandwhich. I love you Tasty!!

Have been in two different occasions and ate at the bar. Burgers are good. Not amazing, but aptly named. And you get what you expect with the menu/decor. 50/50 burger/onion rings is definitely the way to go. Great drink options - from shakes to wine to excellent beers. Overall it is a great vibe. Laid back. Casual. Very easy to keep ordering another drink and staying for a bit. Can see this place packed during its first full Sox season... If Josh is working the bar, ask for the brownie sundae. He makes the best one I've had in the city! ;)

Went back and tried the Hot Dogs. They are also, just, REALLY good. That, plus the take out counter still producing good quality food relatively quickly means the whole thing is good enough for me to round up and make it a full-fledged four star review.

Bob D.

Awesome place to get your fat on for a reasonable price. Can't go wrong with pitchers of beer, burgers, fries, onion rings, and if I may recommend, the nitro nuggets. My only complaint was that the mutton-chopped bartender was trying to hard to friendly/charismatic. I don't mind some nice convo from the barkeep, but the dude kept calling me Derek and my name is Bob. It doesn't take that long to read someone's license when you check their ID. If you're gonna be the friendly bartender, get the name right. I also think this place should buy me a new bathing suit because mine doesn't fit anymore.

Tasty burger does have some pretty tasty burgers - this is true. I've eaten 3 different burgers from their menu, as well as their fries and their onion strings. Overall, the food I've eaten here has been good. The burgers hot and juicy, the friest and onions crispy. The onion burger is absolutely delicious. Perhaps their caramelized onions could stand a bit less sugar added, but the sandwich has a ton of flavor and it works. The blue collar is battered and fried with honey mustard. The batter is sweet, and goes surprisingly well with the burger and honey mustard flavors, though I would've liked more honey mustard. The third burger I had was the mushroom burger. It was the least impressive of the three, particularly because I ordered an onion burger and received this instead, despite thrice confirming that i had ordered an onion burger. I'm pretty sure the mushrooms came from a can - which isn't really awful, but I'm not partial to canned shrooms. The cheese was nice and melted, though, and the burger cooked nicely so that it was still a bit pink and juicy. I said that I ordered an onion burger, though. I mentioned this on twitter once i got home. i found out that tasty burger has a twitter presence @tastyburgerusa. This led me to believe that they read and address customer complaints. Perhaps I am spoiled by Boloco's John Pepper, but I digress. I would've just brushed off the lack of reply as the company or owners as not paying much attention to twitter, but they have tweeted a few times since my complaint, the first tweet only three minutes later. After reading some of the other reviews, I do not expect to receive much in the way of friendly and helpful customer service. Since Tasty Burger is so close to my house, I might still go back. The first time I went, they had gotten my brother's order wrong - forgetting the bacon he asked for - but they made up for it by comping his burger. Overall I'm not unhappy with the place, and their recipes are inspired and delicious. I want to try the rest of the menu, including the "all the way" hot dog, which is 1/2 pound with two burger patties, chile, and cheese. wow. if these guys shape up the customer service a bit i might change my review to four or five stars. the burgers i've had when they got my order right were definitely worth the money. oh. and beer! i've since gone back to tasty burger a few times. i still think the food is delicious, but it's hit or miss. sometimes it's awesome, sometimes its just bland. it's never awful, though. but there is still something lacking in the customer service. for a brand new place, i'd expect a lot more charm. are the employees at the window already so jaded with their jobs in the fast food service that they can't offer a little hospitality? i'll still eat there. it's so close to my home. and it is usually tasty.

They changed the fries since they first opened - they are now thinner, shoe-string type things that are no where near as great at the original fries. Bring em back and I'll bring back the star!

I joined Yelp to write a review for Tasty Burger. The first time I went in was when they were new and only had been opened for a month. I was blown away then and still am pleased every time I go in. The burgers are fantastic. The fries with the sausage gravy are out of this world. The shakes are the best anywhere. All this for approximately $13. Can't beat that! I was a college student in Boston for six years, and I wish I had Tasty Burger the whole time. I will never forget this place!

Heard great things about this place so decided to go here on a whim cause I haven't had a burger type thing for a very long time and they have a bean burger(I'm a veg-face) and my bf had a craving for beef (he's not a veg-face). I like the fact that they kept it looking like a gas station, that was pretty neat. However the floor was extremely slippery. I don't know if they just buffed the floor or if they wanted to add to the whole gas station feeling theme and just oiled the whole thing, but it was very uncomfortable walking to the table (and I had Dr Martens on which aren't prone to slipping). The waitress was very friendly and the menu is like you would expect from a burger place. So I got the bean burger, boyfriend got the Big Kahuna and we got fries with gravy. All excited cause you know, eating a burger is like a treat for me, since it's hard to find a good veggie burger. And it's still very hard to find a veggie burger. Holy crap was that thing SAAAALLLTTYYYY. One bite and my face got into freeze mode for a split second and then my jaws began to hurt (similar as when you eat a lemon and the acid 'pinches' your jaws). I thought "maybe I need to get used to the taste?" and tried another bite. But no, my stomach didn't want it and said 'WOA if that's it, I'm full'. I didn't taste anything except for salt. So to get the salt taste out of my mouth, I fished through the fries to find one without gravy and that worked. The fries were crispy as they should be, but just like the burger it was a little too salty. My boyfriend wasn't impressed with the Big Kahuna. He likes different tastes, so that's why he picked the Kahuna (pineapple and teryaki) but he didn't finish it, which was surprising cause he can eat. When the waitress came back to check up on us she saw my burger with 2 bites out of it so I told her that it was too salty. She was very apologetic and offered something else but I just wanted to leave. I know it's hard to make a good veggie burger, I've been to many places where they have bean burgers and none of them have been worth coming back for. But this was just insane how salty it was. Not coming back here again.

Went in on Sunday after a 7 hour ride from upstate New York. Wow. What a seriously good burger (got the onion burger) and split the 50/50 with my friend. Tasty is a modest adjective. Outstanding Burger should be the name, but, alas, not as snappy. Will go again for sure, just NOT on game day. This is located directly behind Fenway. And there's parking in their lot but on game day I'd imagine it's a nightmare.

Scott M.

It was just ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. I personally think Chili's burgers are better tasting and a better value. The hot dogs are HUGE and locally made. My Coney Island dog was tasty with the chili and celery salt. I would have just preferred a toasted or grilled butter bun. The bartender was awesome, very friendly and accommodating.

Good burgers! I had the jalapeÃ±o burger my first visit and the cheeseburger on my second visit. They were both really good, juicy, slightly greasy, and very flavorful. The burgers are not so large that you have leftovers, but not too small that you are craving for more. I felt completely satisfied. As everyone else said, order the 50/50 and then throw those onion strings on your burger, you won't regret it. We went on a Friday night our first visit and we couldn't park in the lot, which sucked (apparently on the weekends you have to pay to park in the lot because Tasty Burger does not own it). Fortunately, we found parking just a block away. It was packed once inside of the restaurant, but we found a table within a few minutes. Our second visit we went on a Tuesday night so the parking lot was available. We sat at the bar and that was pretty cool because they have tons of magic 8 balls, rubix cubes, and other games to play. I wish they had a larger beer selection, but the Hoegaarden is good for now. I'm looking forward to getting back to Tasty Burger once it's warmer, to sit out on the patio.

Four stars for my first time visit of which I shall be going back again. The service was wonderful, the mood was fun and the decor was enjoyable to admire. The location is in a prime spot, right next to Fenway Park, a nice spot for food after a game because guess what! They are open until 2 am serving food! Which brings me to the best part of this review, their food! Their menu is simple and has variety, the burgers, the fries, the beer, and the milkshakes are simply delicious. They do have take out for those who are on the fly or just passing by. The kind of simple food you get brings plenty of taste. I will certainly go there again, as a matter of fact, I am heading there tonight!

They should change the first letter from a T to an N .. I had a turkey burger which came out cold the first time and then topping-less the second time. I unfortunately tasted it all evening. Onion strings are literally strings with very little onion. The only nice thing I can say is that it was cheap and my burger was taken off the bill without my asking.

JP C.

Best, best fast food cheeseburger in Boston. The first time I went, I was blown away. These burgers taste like they came right off the grill. The service is fast, and I really like the outdoor parking lot seating area for a quick bite. For nicer sit-down service (with beer!), they have an indoor area as well. Only complaint - too many kids in the parking lot making pulp fiction jokes :)

Colter L.

I went here last night and was utterly disappointed. Despite being well-staffed, the service was slow. I ordered the hummus and chips (which costs $5), expecting a reasonable amount of both but instead received a huge basket of chips with a small scoop of dip. The Kahuna burger was an interesting twist, but that's the only plus I can give this place.

Smiling C.

I love the ambiance of this place, but wish the food was more up to par. They have a lot of magic 8 balls on the bar (even a sarcastic one) and rubix cubes. They even had a trivia set. So no need to worry if your company is kinda boring, you can keep yourself entertained. They have a pool table that's free and a jukebox that was jamming out the 80s hits when I was there. Unfortunately, the bun on my turkey burger disintegrated in my hands (I like soft, but not THAT soft). The onion rings are the stringy kind, not the thick hearty ones, which was a bummer. Despite the food issues, I'm willing to go back since it's a great place to chill & the food is so affordable.

This place was, how do you say in your language...Uh....pretty bad. undercooked meat (and I know and am cool with what medium rare should be and understand that means red and blood and stuff, but this was borderline raw) , only 2 cheeses to choose from (swiss and colby jack) which was weak. How about some straight up cheddar or American. Nope. Someone had the audacity to say this was better than UBurger. All I can say is if I remember who told me that, I'm gonna pimp slap them. I will never go back, although it is open til 2am, so I leave myself the being drunk and making a bad decision disclaimer....

Variety of selection - crappy. Quality of food - subpar. Water down soda and gross rootbeer floats. Add small portions and overpriced to this combination Tasty Burger is not so tasty. But why do I continue to go back? Because its THERE! Located near Fenway, Tasty Burger is one of your best options if you are hankering for a burger, fries or hot dog. Other options include McDonalds and Burger King. Its best quality is that it is open until 2AM.

Delicious and such a nice change from normal fast food joints! They have really different burgers with toppings like pineaple and avocado but they have run of the mill tastiness as well, like a simple cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger. I especially like that I can get a shirley temple to go, it makes my night every time I go. It's not the quickest place to go especially if you're doing takeout and it's one of the chillier nights but otherwise it's a great little attraction to fill you up at great prices anywhere from 5.50 up for their burgers. Check it out

This place is awesome! The place is themed after the famous Pulp Fiction line from Samuel L. Jackson. "Mmm Mmmm thats one tasty burger" The menu is basic with burgers starting around 7$ They have quite a few burger variations and a good selection of appetizers. They have beer by the bottle, glass, or pitcher. I have to say my burger was overly greasy and half crushed so other than that the fries and rings were good. I would go back and try another burger.

Far from "Tastiest Burger" and a bit overpriced...this cute 50s-sock-hop-esque joint is cute and has a good ambiance. I wish I could give more than 3 stars. Service was on par. Not the most friendly or talkative server, but he did his job and checked on us every once in awhile. Food quality, along with pricing was the downfall of my star generosity. Between my boyfriend and I we ordered the "Chips with Guacamole & Hummus" for a starter and then both ordered shakes and burgers. I got the classic Bacon Cheeseburger (you can't mess that up), and he got the Mushroom Burger. For $5 A SHAKE, I expected a large glass to come out along with the metal cup they made the shake in with extras. It sadly did not...in fact, it came in a medium-large sized McDonalds cup (but with Tasty Burger on it instead) and NO extras. It was a very small size for a shake, and I was ready to forgive if it was the best shake I'd ever had. It was not. The burgers were pretty good but were TINY compared to what other restaurants offer around this area for the same price. My boyfriend commented after finishing his in 30 seconds, saying "UBurger has way better burgers and for a better value, too". I'm sure their shakes have more substance too. The chips & guac/hummus were finally "Tasty"!, but alas, you could get better at Qdoba down the street. All in all, this place is a fun joint where you can get together with friends and have a good time. I'm sure we will be back sometime soon to try out the Half-Pound "Shaft" Hot Dog...gotta try that...but otherwise we will not be visiting unless either the shakes & burgers are bigger or go down in price or get "Tasty".

just above average compared to some of the other burger joints in the boston area. Things that sets it apart from other burger joints is that beer and wine is available and its location to fenway - prime realestate / location with outdoor seating.

Amazing. They're open until 2am!! Which is really just awesome. And the food is the perfect greasy meal at a very reasonable price. One thing - if you go there, you need to get a shake. They're a bit overpriced, but absolutely delish.

A really decent place for a quick dinner in Fenway. My boyfriend and I are always looking for quick and cheap restaurants that still let us feel like we're getting away from campus, so Tasty Burger is a great way to feel like we're even just on a little date. We both had plan bacon cheeseburgers - though the innovative burgers and hot dogs seemed interesting, I couldn't bring myself to try something too crazy. We each had our own basket of fries (too good to share). Their sodas aren't fountain though - skip it or bring a bottle from home.

When I first heard that the guys from one of my all-time favorite Boston restaurants, Franklin Cafe, were opening Tasty Burger on the real estate once housed by a decrepit gas station, I eagerly waited for them to open their doors -- the wait was worth it! Not only does the new building look like a 50s burger joint with a well-designed neon beacon of a sign, but it has a digital jukebox, free pool, and a mural of Samuel L. Jackson eating that "one tasty burger" on the wall when you walk in -- so atmosphere and decor get 5/5 stars. The first time I went we sat at the bar and Josh walked us through the menu and answered our questions about the ingredients etc. Now whenever we go and Josh is working we'll go sit at the bar to hang out with him. I had to try the onion burger and it did not disappoint. How could it when you have onions two ways on one burger?! I went with the bf and we decided to also split the All the Way which was delicious due to the plethora of artery-clogging meats and cheese. The hot dog tasted great and I loved the casing -- definitely worth the extra couple bucks considering the size and quality of the dog as compared to Spike's for instance. They do have a challenge to eat something ridiculous like 3 of the "All the Ways" to get on their wall of shame. Also keep an eye on the wall for rotating beers and burger specials. I'm often tempted to order two different burgers because the combinations are all so good but beware, it's more food than you might think in conjunction with a 50/50 and/or a shake. The second (or third?) time I went I tried the spicy jalapeno which may now be my favorite burger fixture they have. So spicy, but so good you can't stop eating it! I also had the Big Kahuna --inspired by the fictional fast-food chain from "Pulp Fiction" -- and it was pretty solid. I would order it again at some point after going back a few times. The beef tastes of quality although I'm not sure what their lean/fat ratio is... could possibly use a bit more fat like an 80/20 given the small size of the burgers; however they are always juicy and well cooked (unless you're an idiot and get it "well"). I have a slight issue with their onion strings... just not that inspired, a little hard to eat especially if you dip them in anything, and they can get mushy if they're not piping hot. Their fries are pretty good, but maybe they should offer a waffle fry instead of the onion strings (just stick w/ the rings). Other than that small complaint, the overall food, service, and quality is excellent. Great place to bring pretty much anyone for a cheap good time -- family, friends, coworkers, a little something for everyone. I would like to give 4.5 stars... they're so close to a 5!

Decent burger that simply must be ordered "medium well". First attempt came out nearly raw in the middle - second try was much better. Fries solid if not spectacular. Turkey burger loaded up with WAY too heavy on the spices. Location within the shadow of Fenway Park.

Best cooked burger I've had in Boston. It was perfectly pink in the middle (which doesn't scare me in the slightest, and shouldn't for that matter) and very classic. Can't lose with the double cheeseburger. It was pretty busy, but we didn't have to wait that long. I could see if you were ordering from the window in the winter that it might be very inconvenient and uncomfortable, but that hasn't been the case yet... we shall see. Comparable price to every other burger joint. I had a great experience and would certainly recommend it.
(5)
Jameson M.

Place is awesome, great idea with the Pulp Fiction theme and renovated fire station/garage. Prices are not dirt cheap, but suitable for location (around the corner from Fenway), and the free pool table is a plus. Only major con is that the burgers come without fries, but you can order them separately as a side. Sometimes it does get busy irregardless of game season, and they'll rush you out for table space. It does have some off nights, but generally one of the best (veggie) burgers I've had in the city. Would be awesome to see some low fat shakes (frozen yogurt instead of ice cream and skim or non-dairy milk).

I have been going to Tasty burger for at least 6 months now.. and I go at least once every two weeks. Burgers are great -- DEE-LISHIOUS... the floor problems were fixed (slipperyness), and the service could always be a bit better, but this is really connected to WHO you get as a wait person. On the down side, sometimes the music is so loud I can not hear other people in my party of four.. and we like to have our burgers and catch up on gossip etc. My guess is the bartender decides how loud to make it... well, that's just my opinion. The downer of my last visit was that the fries appeared to be almost shoe-string size and I think this is different. They are still hand selected, and probably sliced on the premises, but the smaller ones are not as tasty... but this is just my preference. I wish they'd switch to soda on tap, instead of servicing you a 20 ounce drink in the plastic soda bottle.. just seems like it's not the 'greenest' thing to do. Ok.. great burgers... OH and the NITRO nuggets (buff chicken) are to DIE for. :-)

Accompanied by out-of-town friends on the day after Thanksgiving, I paid my first visit to Tasty Burger. Yup, they're tasty all right (the burgers, not my friends) and filling. You can order any burger single or double-sized, but I can't imagine consuming the latter; the single is a 6 oz. beauty on a sesame seed bun, which was plenty for me. We also tried the 50/50 fries and fried onions plate: great fries, but the onions were so-so (they reminded me of those canned "onion rings" that Mom sprinkles on top of the green bean casserole for holiday dinners). A black-and-white shake was to die for, and my mug of Harpoon draft frosty-licious. The wait staff is friendly and accommodating, and the retro-contempo decor lets you get in touch with your inner Richie Cunningham. Tasty Burger is definitely a player in the Boston burger market.

Great food and awesome atmosphere!! Defintiely a restaurant my boyfriend and I go to multiple times a week. Burgers are great and my boyfriend and I are obsessed with their milkshakes and slushies! Definitely great if you need a meal on the go. Free pool and fun music on the jukebox. My only gripe is the floors are extremely slippery!! I have to, honestly, shuffle my feet all the way to the bathroom and back because the floors are so slippery.

The first time I went to Tasty Burger was only a week and a half after it opened. Not knowing what to expect I went in with only the expectations my friends gave me, as they were talking it up so much. I ordered the bacon cheese burger. this was one of the best, and juiciest burgers I have ever eaten. the burger went perfectly with the french fries with sausage gravy on top. the best way to describe the sausage gravy, would be to say that it looks like your cat puked on your fries. rest assure it is one of the most delicious things you can eat here the second time I went here was just eight minutes before close, and they still let us in to eat, we even sat and talked with the owner for a little bit. I love the atmosphere here, they have the best music selection I have ever heard in a restaurant. the service varies from spot on, to less than satisfactory, but having worked in the restaurant industry since I was 16 I know that there is no such thing as perfect service every time. it can get a little loud when it is full, but that can prove for a fun atmosphere. I really like how the owner was able to turn an old gas station into a burger joint, this is one of my favorite places to eat late night, I am always looking for an excuse to go back

Love Tasty Burger! Every burger on the menu is delicious, and very inexpensive. I like the fact that their burgers are not overly greasy and that they serve the 50/50 half onion strings and half fries. Awesome. Beer menu sucks, but that's easily overshadowed by the awesome burgers. The food comes quickly and the waitstaff is terrific. Especially this one girl, I forgot her name :( Super friendly. Definitely give this place a try.

i love when delicious, down to earth, new restaurants open up in my neighborhood. even better, this place is super affordable (which is kind of unusual these days in fenway...) i'm not a huge fan of beef burgers so i usually order a burger (i like the onion burger) but replace the meat with a veggie patty which is pretty dang good. but i think the thing that keeps me coming back is their onion rings. they're not the soggy, thick cut kind but the super skinny, crispy, light kind. the last time i was here, i ordered a chili cheese dog. i was a bit surprised at the price but when it came to my table, it totally made sense. the thing is a beast! they also had a special that day... chicken and waffles! i had been raving about chicken and waffles to my boyfriend so he had to try it. crispy waffles, tons of syrup, crunchy fried chicken, and rivers of gravy. it wasn't like roscoe's in california but still good and very rich.

yesterday was my first time here and i've lived in fenway for 3 years! (Sorry FAIL i know) Nothing fancy about the food unless you get some of the AWESOME specialty burgers which they switch up each day (I follow on Facebook nom nom nom). Service is excellent and a great place to eat lunch because it's FAST! What a great atmosphere and staff. Did I mention the price is very reasonable for Fenway? it is. I'll be back...very soon!

Your drunk ass would love nothing better than a greasy, cheesy, fatty, scrumptious hamburger at 2am. And where can you get one? Fucking Tasty Burger. Delicious, reasonably priced (but more expensive than McDonalds) hamburgers, fries, shakes, hot dogs, you name it. The service is good and the restaurant is clean inside. Try the bacon cheeseburger it will knock your socks off!

One of the best burger joints in the U.S. hands down. You can get a hamburger, turkey burger, veggie burger, or hotdog with almost anything one can think of adding on. Fries are SPECTACULAR. Staff is very friendly and look like they enjoy working there. They have a few beers and wines but no liquor. Plenty of big TVs to watch sports too. I don't know anywhere else in Boston where you can get a burger, fries, and a pint of Miller Lite for $10. I've been at least a dozen times in the last year and hope to go that many more times.

I had to give this place another shot. I wanted to love it, REALLY wanted to love it. Reminded me of Johnny Rockets which I haven't seen around here. So, I figured the first experience was bad maybe because they just opened and had not gotten their s#@t together yet. It happens, right? I was already excited when I saw they lowered their prices from the last time I was there. I decided to order what I got last time but the whole shebang this time;burger,fries and a shake. Since the damned burger doesn't come with cheese, they also get you an extra 50 cents for that. The whole things came to about $13! Common, this fast food, not fine dining. After paying that I was prepared for a meal beyond meals. The shake, alright. It was a chocolate shake. The fries, again, alright. Better when I added salt. The burger,(turkey), why do they have so much trouble with a burger? They advertise about cooking medium, yet when I bite into it all I taste is char which overpowers everything. Also, if they are going to charge restaurant prices, then serve restaurant quality food. If not, then lower your damned prices. I don't know if possibly I am NOT seeing what everyone else is seeing in this place, or if everyone is so drunk when they eat that they will be satisfied with a paper plate covered in catchup.

I love Tasty Burger. Delicious unpretentious greasy burgers to shove in my face while making poor dietary decisions while perhaps slightly intoxicated. The mushroom burger, fries with a side of honey mustard, and a tall boy of high life for under 15 bucks is the way to go!

Tasty Burger is very, very tasty! As a New Yorker, I don't know what the hotspots are in Boston. I actually just found this place on my iPhone Yelp app while on my way to Regal Fenway and saw it's one of the few places in Boston which are open late. I went here with my dad and both of us were thoroughly impressed. We got the jalapeÃ±o burger with bacon added to-go and it's probably the best burger I've had (dad says In-N-Out is still better). We went back around a week later to dine-in and ended up getting the same burger; I got Nitro Nuggets and a root beer float as sides and he got cheese fries. The nuggets were actually quite hot and the root beer float was delicious. I also tried some of the cheese fries which were really good. Our waitress was very nice; the staff are all dressed casually as the place is very casual itself with a pool table inside and a roomy floor. The service is also really quick; your burgers and sides are all there before you know it. Also, the double burger is beyond filling so don't choose that unless you're absolutely starving!

Damn this was one tasty burger, better than expected. I had it with caramelized and crispy onions, blue cheese and mushrooms. Wow. Having just moved from California, I thought I'd miss having In and Outs to go to, but this hit the spot. Good prices, especially now that places are charging $15 for a burger (without being anything exceptional), which is closer to $20 with tax and tip. Love the Pulp Fiction artwork inside, cool vibe, great burger. Will try the fries next time I have someone to share with.

Extremely tasty (no pun intended) burger, fast, hot, and actually served the way I ordered it (rare, not overdone). Staff was friendly and quick with all courses. Burger menu may seem a tad small, but even the standard cheeseburger is amazing. Don't let the 'hole in the wall' look fool you out of an outstanding burger. Do yourself a favor, snag any burger on the menu along with fries, and an amazing shake and dig in.

After much haranguing by my peps, I decided to give this place a try after a shift one night last week (I had to be torn away from my usual haunt, CCC in Coolidge Corner, best known for having lots of beers and absolutely horrific service). But, then, I ended up back at TB again the next night! All I can say is, that turkey burger is damn addictive. TB has very reasonably priced food and drink ($10 for a beer and a "fancy" burger). They do have a rather odd selection of beers on draft, thankfully including Bass and Harpoon IPA. The waitstaff was fantastic (super friendly, laid back and accomodating) both nights I was there.

Best selection of burgers ever! Really imaginative and cheap, but they still taste really great. Also great frappes, daily special burgers, and a fun noisy atmosphere right next to Fenway. They're open until 2am every day! This place cannot be beat for a quick, cheap, and wicked tasty burger!

Tried Tasty Burger today for the first time. Not bad. Not great either. First, not sure where all the bad service reviews came from. Maybe we hit it on a good day (Sunday by the way). Our server was awesome. We did sit at the bar though. She was super friendly, very helpful and quick. No problem on the service front. Food came fast too, so no problem there. I was considering taking the challenge, which is three loaded dogs (burger, dog, chilli and cheese on a hot dog bun) in under an hour, but since I didn't know if I'd enjoy the food, I opted against it. I got the ZuZu shaft and the blue collar deep fried burger. The dog was good, and really big if you like that kind of thing (that's what she said). A little too big for my liking but I made due. The bun was kind of like the sub roll type, and very good. Soft and moist, although my buddy said he would have liked it toasted. It came with home made sauerkraut and spicy mustard. Simple yet good. But not crave worthy. Not sure what it was, but I was left wanting something more, and not just toppings. The burger was the first deep fried burger I ever had, so I was intrigued and willing to take a chance. Again, not bad, but not crave worthy. It came with a deep fried burger, obviously, and honey mustard. A sweet tangy burger, but again, nothing I'll be craving later. The best option were their fries. Great fries. Crispy outside soft inside, and the real killer was the sausage gravy you could get with it. THAT might be crave worthy! The sausage was so chunky you could eat it with a fork. Fantastic. I'd get the sausage gravy by itself if I could. My wife got a coffee shake which was very good, and the Gorgonzola burger, which she also confirmed left her wanting more. But the atmosphere was cool, I could get a beer and watch the game and the food was solid. I won't be making any special trips though. If you want a great burger, go to Five Guys or better yet, go to Cali and to In n Out. My buddy even said Chilli's had a superior burger, which is saying a lot when the place is called "Tasty Burger". If I'm in town and passing by, I might stop in if it's not busy.

Tasty Burger is open late - Boston needs more late-night choices, but the food isn't good.

Oh. My. God. Best drunk food ever!! The only reason it's not getting 5 stars is that I was drunk and that may have influenced what felt like a religious experience. I had a huge burger with fried onions and bacon last night at about 2am and never has something hit the spot like it. So what if taking home a big greasy tasty burger was a fattening replacement for taking home a man? I daresay I'll go back sober when I get a burger craving.

Recently retried Tasty Burger. The Black and White shake was excellent: thick and tasty. Actually, the straws are now too thin for the shakes. Also, I think you need to order the $6 double burgers here to get some heft and juiciness. On a side note, the pepper shakers are cute mini Coke bottles but otherwise ineffective at actually shaking out pepper as the holes at the top are too small. They are fine for salt.

I went to Tasty Burger last night with my best friend for his birthday dinner. After checking out the menu and reading about it on one of my favorite local food blogs, we were psyched to check it out. Unfortunately, Tasty Burger left something to be desired. The restaurant itself is very cool, good jukebox ("In the Garage" by Weezer = WIN!), our waitress was awesome; busy but still attentive, and the art is pretty dope. Now onto the food, because that's what you're really here to read about. I got the onion burger with bacon, my BFF got a bacon cheeseburger, and we split the 50/50 (fries and onion rings). The food came out pretty quickly Come to find out, the onion rings were not actually rings but more like strings of undercooked, over-seasoned, and super salty breading with a hint of onion. The fries were OK, crisp and well fried but also WAY too salty. BFF said his burger was good, the bacon was crisp but nothing above and beyond a typical bacon cheeseburger. My onion burger was...something else. The caramelized onions on the burger are phenomenal, they're so good they kind of act as their own kind of BBQ-y, onion-y sauce. Delicious. Unfortunately the onion burger also features the previously mentioned (and dreadful) onion strings. Blerg. Those plus the lack of any of the usual toppings killed my burger for me. As a whole experience, Tasty Burger wasn't so much tasty as it was decent; but who would want to go to a place called "Decent Burger"?

For a fast, yummy, cheap burger, I think this is a very good choice. I'm spoiled a bit by having had In n Out several times before in my life but Tasty Burger has it's own flavoring and uniqueness that makes the place worth a try. The fries are thin and perfectly golden and the extra toppings you can add to your order allows you to make a unique meal for yourself. Also try their shakes...

The atmosphere was pretty cool. The Nitro Nuggets were so YUMMY!!! Lime Mint slush was delicious and refreshing!!! I got a Butta Burger. Was pretty good. Can't wait to try other things on the menu. But I got to go back for the Nitro Nuggets...they will keep me going back...often...

Tasty burger (TB) may save my marriage. My husband loves burgers, but is a bit particular on what makes "a good burger" (he is from Cali, and hearts In&Out Burger) so this means we are on an endless quest for a good burger joint everywhere else we have lived. Generally this makes me have to roll my eyes when the burger subject comes up. Alas, I was away when TB opened and heard for DAYS how fantastic it was. I have now been myself and am a fan of both the mushroom and Gorgonzola burgers. Some reviewers have commented that it would be cheaper to go to BK (Burger King), etc. Really?? Yes, you could go to BK and get a "burger" for less, but you are really getting cow cartilage/etc (hello SuperSize Me, FastFood Nation, etc) and not actually all beef. But I digress, the coffee shake was also great. More importantly when I am craving a burger I can now look to my husband and say, "Lets go to Tasty Burger." He will eagerly say "Yes" and I won't have to listen to a tirade about why the burger is inferior. TB, marriage saver !

Went here Friday night after hearing a friend rave about it for the past few weeks. Went with a big group after work and were luckily able to get seats before it got too crowded. The waiter was really friendly and had some good suggestions. I ended up getting the regular cheeseburger because I think the true test of a burger place is how they handle the basics. Also got a side of fries and a mint lime slushie. The burger was good. It tasted flame broiled and there was plenty of cheese, but also a lot of salt. Was definitely a multi-napkin burger. I think I would have enjoyed it more at midnight after a long night out, if that makes sense, so I'll bet they do pretty good business at the walk up window when the bars close. The fries, however were great. They were shoestring cut and nice and crispy, which is great because shoestrings are normally so soggy. They had a lot of salt, but not too much. The slushie was ok. It tasted really syrupy. I ended up having to water it down. Overall, it was pretty good.

The burgers here are okay. Nice topping combinations, and not too complicated of a menu, but the meat is super average.... under seasoned, and overall underwhelming. The price point is spot on however, which is what made me come back for my second visit. During this visit I also ordered a side of 50/50 onion rings and fries ($4), with the cheese sauce added for $2. As I placed my TO GO order I asked the super friendly cashier how the fries were made, whether the cheese sause was of a shredded and melted over the top, or liquid, variety. He told me it was more of a liquid consistency, and when I asked if I could get the sauce on the side because I had a bit of a walk ahead of me he responded immediately, politely cutting me off, saying that they automatically put the cheese sause on the side to ensure that the fries wouldn't get soggy. I was super excited and pleased to hear this, and other wise would have just ordered a regular side of fries and saved my money had he not ensured me of this. Unfortunatelyyyy, and I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt on this miscommunication, when I got home I found a massive pile of soggy cheese and chive covered fries/onion rings at the bottom of my bag. On top of that, the cheese/chive sauce was extremely bland, and heavy to the point of nausea. I started to eat them, but basically just decided to toss the basket. I even attempted to look on the website for an email contact to complain about this incident. Spending $14, not including the over 20% tip I left because of the great customer service, for a burger, fries, and bottle of soda, and only receiving a half assed quality product is not acceptable. I really doubt I'll go back, or maybe I'll go just to sit at the bar, watch a sox game, and eat some plain fries/grab a shake... but I'll make little more investment than that.

A new burger joint? Don't mind if I do. Trying to resist knocking down the doors before they opened, I decided to give Tasty Burger a little time to work out any new restaurant kinks. But I couldn't wait any longer, Saturday was National Cheeseburger Day and there was no way I wasn't going somewhere. Right behind Fenway Park, and steps away from one of my least favorite burgers in the city, (Remy's) Tasty Burger stands out as a former gas station turned restaurant, it looks vintage, even right down to the take-out window open until 2 am. But it's sort of an identity crisis right from the start. I'm expecting fast-food, classic 50s style burgers, but someone is there to greet us and open the door as we walk in. No complaint there, but the dim lighting and a full bar confuses me when they're clearly going for that old school West-Coast burger chain inspiration. The best of both worlds? Not for me, I'd rather one or the other, but that's me. The service is quick and borderline too aggressive, as we're asked how everything is literally six times before I've even had a bite of food. Early restaurant jitters aside, this was a bit on the annoying end of customer service. But still, I'll take the frequent check-ins over an impossible to find server any day.There are a few burgers to choose from, all very reasonably priced starting at just $4, but just one cheese option in Colby-Jack, strange I think for a burger joint to only offer one type of cheese, unless I'm missing something. I've been completely skeptical of the burgers because they're cut from the tenderloin, which as we all know is way too lean to work for a burger. But the burgers are seasoned nicely, coming out as a pretty good medium-rare, despite never asking how I wanted it cooked. Seasoned well, yes, but flavorful not so much. Again, just too lean of a cut, and you can tell, it's a nice pink-ish hue inside, but very little moisture to speak of. Lettuce, tomato and odd tasting chewy bacon round out my burger on a nondescript sesame seed bun. Something is just missing, it's not offensive, it's not even bad, it just doesn't wow me. Same with the fries and onion strings, which come together on a 50-50 mix, the fries are seasoned well, but a little on the blonde spectrum in terms of color, and the onions are all batter and very little onion flavor. The shakes are also a let-down, as both the black and white and strawberry shakes sampled taste off, like there's something besides milk and ice cream in there, most definitely a flavored syrup which doesn't belong and makes it rather unpleasant. I also think a $30 bill for two people is way too high when my burger cost all of $5.50, even with two shakes. Tasty Burger is the new kid on the street, but if they want to survive a very competitive burger market, they need to up the anti a little bit, tenderloin and over-the-top service wont get you there alone, but at least it's better than Remy's.

Went with a friend and had the chicken waffle special, double bacon cheeseburger and 50/50 side. Great service from Lem the bartender. Fried chicken waffle sandwich was tasty. Burger itself was a letdown. Thin, seemingly frozen patties with meager flavor. Same with the bun. Maybe all those $10-$20 burgers are skewing my taste buds. Fries ad o-rings were fine, but nothing to write home about.

came here after a red sox game. it's open very late. party of 10. food was out fast and it was good. had the works hot dog that had a hamburger patty. it was a heart attack waiting to happen, but good. inexpensive food. not the greatest (spoiled by in n out), but you know, they have a friendly staff.

I've been here a few times and most of the time its great. The food is cooked up quick for you and they have options for indoor and outdoor seating. The tables are always clean and a bonus for dog lovers, they have a big water bowl for the pups. The staff has always been very friendly and the food is good.

I went there before a Red Sox game recently. (Which they beat the Angels, 9-5) When I parked my motorcycle, I asked one of the not so friendly uniformed BPD officers, if Tasty Burger was any good. He told me no. I figured that I would try it anyway. I am soooo glad that I did. I had a double bacon cheeseburger, (No tomato or lettuce, do I look like a rabbit?) and a Diet Coke. I am watching my weight, you know. The texture of the burger was a little on the mushy side, but it was one of the best tasting burgers that I have had in quite a while. The inside dining room was very busy, but, the "patio" had a few tables available. So, I sat outside. While I was eating, I noticed that the building is an old gas station. they didn't do much to convert it. The large bay doors were even still there. When I saw that, I was glad that I ate outside, It was better for people watching. If you are in the neighborhood, check it out.

Tasty Burger has pretty decent hamburgers; especially for a late night drunken rendezvous with friends. The atmosphere at the bar (late at night) makes you almost feel like your one of the cool kids. They serve food until 2am, which is pretty wonderful considering NOWHERE in Fenway seems to be open past 11. You can sit at the bar, which has a respectable selection of beer and wine, at a table or order from the take out counter outside. All of the burgers with the multiple fixings give you a choice of a single or double for pretty cheap. I got a single Onion burger (with sauteed onions, onion rings and cheese). Since you only have a choice of Medium or Well Done, I asked for Medium. Now, I like my burger juicy and pink just like any other real burger lover, but this burger may have touched the grill for about a minute and then was served to me. Not Medium. I was very hungry, so I scarfed it down in no time. It was tasty - I'll give them that. My friend and I shared a "50/50" basket. The fries were great, the onion rings were too thin. Some people like them thin, that's fine, but these were so thin that they crumbled at my touch and I could have used a fork to eat the majority of them (I didn't, I'm just saying I could have). All in all Tasty Burger is no U Burger (Comm. Ave in Kenmore Square), but since U Burger closes at 11 (I think), Tasty Burger will be my late night go to spot for good burgers and more beers.

This place is great. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating, bar, cool decor, and a great music playlist. That's not even mentioning the food, which is the best tasting burger and fries you can find at this price, with plenty of menu options. Really, all I want to do is hang out with a cheap, delicious burger with friends and listen to REO speedwagon, and Tasty Burger delivers. Few places have this kind of authenticity.

Tasty burger looked so cute from the outside that I really wanted to like it. I especially wanted to like it when I stepped inside and saw they had a pool table and a pretty cool little bar. I tried to like it even when I read the menu and saw they call hot dogs "shafts". Really, shafts? barf. Needless to say, I ordered a mushroom cheeseburger and some chili cheese fries. My friend ordered a bacon burger. My extremely dry, no flavor burger arrived without mushrooms. Waiter informed me he forgot to put them in til after the burger order so they would be coming out as a side in a couple minutes. The chili cheese fries were also horrible. Chili tasted as if it came out of a can and the cheese that came on top was more of a watery Parmesan than anything else. I would think that if you only have a few items on your menu you would make sure they were done right, because there really aren't a lot of options to choose from. Burgers should be juicy and flavorful ect. Instead we learned that the reason you aren't asked how you want your burger cooked, is because they cook them at one temperature only. All I could think was, "is microwave a temperature?" because that's what it tasted like. The really nice manager came over and asked us what we thought of the food and neither of us wanted to tell her the truth. My friend ended up telling her our thoughts, and she gave us coupons for free burgers. uhh what? free burgers? I really have no intention of ever ordering another burger there, when even McDonalds and Johnny Rockets have a tastier and cheaper product. We gave our coupons to a homeless guy a couple blocks away.

BEST BURGERS IN BOSTON by far! they have a sweet bar and a free pool table. this one time gas station near Fenway park is the place to grub on some extra tasty burgers. highly recommended and stoner approved

One word: YUMMMMM! In an area where the only quick burger you can get is Burger King or McDonald's (and even these two places close early), Tasty Burger offers up patties grilled to perfection in a quick and relatively inexpensive manner (and until 2 am)! The only way you could get a cheaper burger in town ($4.00 for a single or $6.00 for a large double cheeseburger with the works) is by ordering off the dollar menu at one of your "favorite" neighborhood fast food establishments....and I guarantee you that those burgers won't drip the same fresh-grilled juicy wonderfulness that I'm currently licking from in between my fingers! Lettuce is fresh, onions are crunchy, tomatoes are juicy, the pickle chips are AWESOMEly crispy and the beef is, well, BEEFY! I challenge someone else to find a quick but delicious meal for under $10 somewhere else in this city! SUCCESS!!!!!!!!

Noam S.

"$7.50 for a burger and fries????? man I hope its good..." well, it wasn't bad. I can honestly say that it's tasty-er than the BK or McDonald's across the street, but then again, their burger and fries are 3 bucks. so in short, its good.... but its not $7.50 good. fries are a bit greasy and burger is simply lacking in meaty burger flavor. they need to lower their prices, or make them better.... until then, I'm out!

Kyon S.

I'll admit it's expensive, but it's one of the better burgers I've had in Fenway. I think it's much better then bgoods, maybe not for your heart, but for your soul yes. The onion rings are cut a bit too thin for my taste but they are fried well enough and the fries are steak fries. The burgers themselves are tasty, fresh, and juicy. Thick meat patties, much thicker then most places do now a days so the smaller size is forgiven. Their shakes and malts though, man those are killer. It's moderately priced for the fens so that's forgiven. Wait stuff was also friendly, maybe a little too friendly ;D. Honestly it was obvious with the excessive touching from the all female wait stuff to the group of guys I was with they were trying to bump their tips. Nothing wrong with that since their service was really good.

It felt right, after a day of drinking at Hogan's Run, to stop here for a burger on the way home. The missus and I had spotted it a couple weeks prior and figured now would be an apt moment to give it a shot. Being a Sunday night, the place was pretty quiet, and we were told to grab a spot wherever. We sauntered up to the bar and were greeted by the extremely friendly Anika (Spelling and name could be way off, thanks a lot Hogan's Run). After a quick perusal of the menu, I opted for an onion burger (rare) and a Bud light. The lady went for the Jalepeno burger and a chocolate milk shake and we decided to split a 50/50 side. The food came out quickly and was just about all I could ask for after a day of drinking. Both caramelized and shoestring onion rings topped a burger that had just the right amount of grease on a solid sesame seed bun. The milkshake was a hit, as well. Only real complaint would be the fact that the burgers don't actually come with fries. Regardless, we'll definitely be making the trip back. Sober or not.

The best inexpensive burgers you will find in a 4 block radius from Fenway. Also they have faith in their product and can make the burgers rare if you want it that way. A meat lovers paradise!

This in my opinion is one of the best burgers Boston has to offer. It was found accidentally after a traipsing through Landsdowne at approximately 2:45am. Best. Drunken. Find. Ever. We ordered from the walk-up window. I can hardly remember what everyone else got, but I got a Gorgonzola burger which was like $5. M got an entire bag of mayo. Yeah, you read that right. She asked for an entire bag full of mayo packets and got it for the reasonable charge of $1.50. Man, the roll is buttery, the cheese is not overpowering, just plain old dericious. Another time the Biff and I went by ourselves and got over the top service from who we surmised was the owner. I got a blanket and free guac and chips out of the visit. I felt like a princess (take notes Biff). So until In-N-Out sells out and comes to Boston, this will be my fav.

Awesome place. I go here for a quick burger. All their burgers are epic, trust me I've tried them all. Cheap beers too. You have to go with the 50-50 fries and onion rings, both are awesome. The walk up window is also key after the bars or if you want a quick burger to go. One of my favorite food spots in Fenway.

Courtney H.

With all the new burger places opening up, I was really impressed with this place! I had been meaning to go there for months and months, and finally we broke down and went. I'm getting hungry just thinking about that onion burger I ate. I actually would probably not use the cheese, thus why the 4 stars, but the jalapeno burger was delicious as well! I was pleased with their beer selection, and didn't think the prices were that bad. I wish I lived closer so we could go here much more. Actually maybe not, since I'd probably gain 20 lbs! But I can't wait to go back next time I'm looking for a good place in Fenway.

It seems they changed their veggie patty since I last visited and it's far better than the cold falafel. Big chunks of tomato, corn and black beans in the new patty that actually has flavor. Had it on a gorgonzola burger, tasted great and I would go back.

Another fun burger place in Boston. It seems burger joints are the trend in this region. I feel for the vegetarians; this place is quick, fun and perfect for a summer night heading to Fenway Park! Comparatively to other burger places, this hits the spot; good burgers, beer and resolve to your hunger. I do have to say, I wish they offered heartier fries. The type you would find at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Stopping by Tasty Burger before a Sox game beats the food and high prices of Fenway, too! Thumbs up from me. . . Enjoy!

I am often in the area on business. I did some research on places nearby and found Tasty Burger. First off, the ambiance: The building is an old automotive garage with bay doors and a concrete floor, what a perfect backdrop for a real honest-to-goodness burger restaurant. There is a nice bar, comfortable tables with just about every condiment imaginable, and a number of TV's to catch up on what's going on if you''re so inclined. The restaurant is clean, the servers are prompt, courteous, professional, and friendly.. The service from order to table is prompt, The food is excellent, well thought out, presented well, and portions are generous. They offer beer and wine and the daily specials have a recommended beer/ale pairing. The selection of beers, ales, and wines is impressive for a casual venue. They do serve chicken and hot dogs as well, although the venerable burger is their stock in trade. My personal favorite is the Blue Collar burger with a small order of their fries and a nice Belgian White. Prices are quite reasonable. If you are in the Fenway area, looking for a casual atmosphere, real food, and something more than a diet coke, stop in to Tasty Burger.

Quick tip: Very busy. Grabbed a seat right away, but so far not a waiter in sight. Hmmmm. After our waiter finally showed up, we ordered our meal. The drinks - soda and a black-and-white shake - arrived in short order. The shake, I was told, was fantastic. The soda came in a paper to-go cup and was loaded with ice. Was never offered a refill, so I'm not sure if they were available or not. We went for the 50/50 fries/onion rings side. The fries were fantastically cooked; crispy, salty, and tasty. The onion rings were more like strings than rings, but who cares...they were also tasty. Got a decent sized portion of both, too. My bacon burger was decent. The bacon, when I finally bit into it, was delicious. But, when I added my condiments I noticed that it was 'balled' up on the burger and all told was about the size of a quarter. Like I said, when I finally found it and bit into it, it was very tasty. My date went with a cheeseburger and said it met expectations. Both burgers were cooked medium, and were juicy. Not as tasty as I would have liked, but acceptable. Two more quick notes: - the assortment of condiments on the table is awesome; ketchup, mustard, frank's, sriracha, vinegar (for the brits?), and more. - this place needs to hand out wet naps; like I said above, the burgers were juicy, and as a result, very messy. My hands were a mess afterwards and I had to duck into the men's room to lather them up.

It sounded so promising! On the recommendation of Boston Magazine, I ordered the Big Tasty, along with onion rings and a root beer. The burger looked beautiful with crisp romaine and NOT overcooked, just the way I like it. Sadly, not only did the cheese leave much to be desired (I LOVE cheese), but the meat had very little flavor. The special sauce did not help; when I have to add extra ketchup to make a burger taste good, that's a problem. Nice that they use red onions for their rings, but I wouldn't bother as they were so greasy I barely ate half of them. Best part of the meal was the root beer--DELICIOUS! I'm sure as drunk food it would be amazing; as sober food, not so much.

Ohhhh, Tasty Burger, my one and only. Discovered this place about a year ago. It was one in the morning. I was hammered, stumbling home from a club, and out of the mists appeared The Tasty. Ravenous, my boyfriend and I each devoured a couple of burgers and a massive basket of delicious fries. It was amazing--absolutely perfect for what one needs in the drunk munchy category. After hyping this place up to all of our friends, we decided to hit up this spot a) sober and b) during daylight. Surprisingly, we were not disappointed! The burgers were just as delicious, meaty, and filling as we remembered. We tried the onion strings this time instead of friends, and they were heavenly. Pitches are cheap, and the milkshakes are really good, too. All-in-all, a solid burger joint, though the location is a little annoying to get to (the D Line and the 47 bus offer the most convenient stops, though you can walk here from Kenmore Station, too). In the summer, there is outdoor seating and a walk-up counter. Score! Marked down a star because holy SHIT the floor is slippery and their bathrooms are FREEZING.
