More information on Boston Blackie's

Disagreements may ensue as to who is number one, but hamburger aficionados all rank Boston Blackie's burgers in their top three. The half-pound monstrosities come cooked to order, made just the way you like them with your choice of toppings.It is a joy to wash them down with beer served in specially frosted mugs that keep your suds cold all the way through. Boston Blackie's is decorated with lots of dark wood and old movie posters, and the wonderful retro feel is only disrupted a little by neon signs behind the bar.
