  I came in for takeout and waited at the bar with a beer (Sam Adams Summer Ale). The bar tender was very nice and quick. It took about 15 minutes for the food to be ready.
  
  Pesto chicken sandwich: tasty and very fresh. I think it needs a little salt. Or something. Not sure.
  Steak and cheese: in a hoagie. Quite good!
  
  The fries were great.
  
  If I have the chance I'll definitely come back.

  Great place for a drink after work, the bar gets busy on weekdays, but seating for dinner doesn't seem to be an issue which was good.
  
  We stopped in for drinks and apps so didn't try much in the way of a full meal, but the service was quick, friendly and attentive - no complaints there. The beer selection was pretty good, I liked the couple of seasonal options they had. The pretzels were hot and came with room temperature cheese and mustard - pretty standard, but good overall. The nachos were very crunchy but could have used more toppings. I think they layered everything because once we got to the bottom of the place all the cheese was on a just a few chips. Although we did get them with chicken on top and that was charred and juicy - makes me think that a full meal would be tasty here.
  
  Overall this is a great little spot to hang out for a while after work and grab a quick bite. I'd stop in again and try some of their actual meal items to see how those hold up.

  Went here on a Saturday while staying at the Hilton nearby and looking for a family-friendly but good option for dinner. Really happy with everything; food was great, staff was very friendly and even let my daughters (5 and 3) 'play waitress' (within reason!). We had the clam chowder (100% recommend; my daughter who never touches new food tried and then ate all of it). I had the Blackened Chicken Breast, which was excellent while my wife had the Salmon, also equally happy with it.
  
  Seating was comfortable with plenty of room, and there is a kids menu. Even for a Saturday evening, it was still full of families and couples out for dinner, but it wasn't too loud or crazy. Next time we're back in Boston, happily making a trip back to Broadside. Thanks!

  Typical place for this area, mostly a bar but a good list of sandwiches, salads and a few full meals. I had the turkey with avocado sandwich. Tired of french fries? This place has lots of choices for sides including a side salad or vegetables. That is unusual for this area. The turkey looked hand carved, not deli sliced. It was quite good. I also had a side of broccoli, which was steamed and as good as can be expected for broccoli. Service was quick and friendly. Prices are average for the area. Be advised that this is a "sports" bar with several big screen TVs. The crowd can get noisy!

  Solid sandwiches and fries. Huge portions on the chicken tenders app. Poke bowl was good. Decent beer selection. Service was spotty and slow.
