Suoer nice date night spot
Best oysters and fried clams we’ve had. The clam chowder is also amazing. Without a doubt one of the best seafood restaurants in Boston. Our service wasn’t as great as expected based on reviews and the lobster roll was a little small for the price, but overall awesome experience.
Oyster Happy Hour was great. Fish sticks and halibut were a must. So delicious. Will definitely be back soon.
This was an amazing experience! I took my parents and best friend here for Easter lunch and accidentally booked our table for indoors but we wanted outdoors. The staff was so accommodating and were able to seat us outdoors as soon as they could. Everything was perfect from the wine to the food and the service was amazing! This was the first time we had all been together in over a year and it really was a memorable experience. Thank you!
This was our first meal indoors since being vaccinated. What a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in and were greeted we felt like we picked the right place. The service was the perfect combination of being attentive and friendly while also being personable. The food was consistently fresh. We loved the clam chowder, the littlenecks and the fried oysters were a surprise hit. For entrees the fish is always fresh. The halibut was a bit more simple than the description promised, but very fresh and well prepared. The baked stuffed lobster was perfectly prepared and easy to get out of the shell. And... as always, the oysters were delicious. Save room for the chocolate mousse. It is worth it!
Staff was very accommodating and food was amazing. Thank you
The Prudential Shellfish Tower was absolutely delicious!
Brent was our waiter and he was wonderful.... courteous, efficient with a lovely, happy smile!
Top notch as always. Best fried oysters in the city, and they always have the freshest crab!
Great spot. Love the food and service
I don’t usually write reviews but.....B&G Oysters was exceptional & NEVER disappoints.
1. The service is excellent from the time you enter to the time you leave. Everyone, on every level, contributed to our great experience.
Shout out to Nick R: my husband & I have had the pleasure of being seated in his section several times. Nick is knowledgeable & always has great recommendations in both food & wine. He is courteous & professional....And quick to anticipate our needs before being asked .
2. The food is phenomenal - tonight we had oysters - we requested small & sweet & that’s what we received. Wellfleet is our fave. Then moved on to fried calamari which was excellent.
Next up: tuna tartare special- PHENOMENAL.
On to the: Mushroom Carpaccio Salad - with shaved Parmesan... amazing & wonderful.
And ended with the chocolate mousse with olive oil, sea salt &... well I’m not even sure what went into this dessert but it was fantastic.
SO...in summary: this pandemic has been crushing to some businesses due to the regulations... but through it all B&G has never sacrificed the quality of food or service. WE WILL RETURN to support them & you should to!
Great place to eat outside
Best Oysters I have ever had and I have had Oysters a lot of places.
The oysters is definitely the top of Bos.Its a perfect occasion to sit outside if u wanna have a date.I just wish they could have more dishes to choose on the menu.
With all that’s going on, they made you feel a sense of norm. The food is always amazing and the service is phenomenal.
Best oysters in town, first time experiencing caviar, loved all of it
Had a great time. Ambiance was great. It was cold out 26F and yet warm enough with the heaters going. Service was expected and food was top notch even being served outside. Will return again for sure and make sure you book in advance
Another wonderful meal at B&G. The oysters are amazing and feel very comfortable eating inside due to the plexiglass between booths.
B&G has the freshest and most delicious seafood, served in the perfect environment. The wait staff goes above and beyond to be sure you are comfortable and enjoying your dining experience. The food is melt in your mouth delicious, and they have great wine and cocktail pairings.
Lovely experience with exquisite oysters and an amazing seafood stew. The staff was courteous and knowledgeable and even allowed us to finish our glass of wine tucked in a corner after we had to vacate our table.
So sad—we used to love this place but the food was extremely disappointing this time. Tasted pre-made, lots of inconsistent temperatures. Great service though. Hope they find a way to return to past greatness.
Much to our surprise December 11th was warm enough to eat outside! The crab cakes over collards were super de- licious! Most novel December birthday ever. But then again it was during 2020 and COVID! I’m glad to be 70 and kickin’ it! We will return!
What a great recommendation! The oysters were out of this world! The chowder, the lobster roll, and don't forget the wine. The staff was friendly. Perfect evening!
Great food quality, it was a memorable experience, us 4 all left still hungry after a 188 dollar bill.
The wine selection and quality of good and service are paralleled only by their attention to the safety of their diners.
The freshest seafood, amazing spot, local spot for sure as well. Best oysters and lobster rolls ever
We loved B&G, adorable patio, sheltered from the wind, fun scene. Great deal of beer + 6 oysters. Will definitely be back!
We had a great table on the patio, plenty of heaters, very comfortable. We had oyster appetizers, both raw and fried that were so tasty! For entrees, the fish and chips and the bouillabaisse were very flavorful and and I’d order either one of them again. Their tartar sauce is addictive!
Hillary was incredible! She made great recommendations for wine, and treated us so well throughout our lunch. Could not recommend B&G and her service more highly.
Great service in the outdoor patio (down a set of stairs in the rear), and although it was drizzling out, the umbrellas were very nice. Best seafood lunch (especially the clam chowder)!
Every time I visit Boston, I have to visit B&G for their lobster roll!!! One of the best!!! And the oysters are awesome too!!
Loved my B&G experience the other night. I had the grilled salmon which was accompanied by roasted brussel sprouts and butternut squash. It was all awesome, but the brussel sprouts were off the charts.
Service was great!
Great food as always!
Great! Love the outdoor ambience. Good food, good service.
Best calamari and lobster roll in Boston! Outdoor heaters help with comfort and ambience on a chilly night.
Went for happy hour oysters and they were fantastic! The waitstaff was friendly and on point and the COVID protection felt safe.
Consistently great seafood in a casual atmosphere.
I went to B&G for the first time ten years ago after a hike and I remember the meal being so good but wondered if it was because I was starving at the time.
Happy to say that even ten years later, even during Covid with restrictions and limitations, B&G is as good as I remember it to be! The food is excellent. I don't love oysters but I will always have them here. Lobster roll with fries - a must! Their curated drink list is perfect. And the outdoor space is so welcoming and warm and socially distanced. My husband and I had an amazing time! B&G remains one of my favorite restaurants of all time.
fantastic experience! the lower patio is nice and warm and was very dog friendly
Freaking cold, even inside. Howling wind
