What are people thinking?? – My boyfriend and I stumbled across this restaurant and after looking at the ecclectic New England-y menu we decided to try it. We both got the corned beef and cabbage and were extremely disappointed. The corned beef was dry, brown (not the usual red), and lacked any kind of flavor. Somehow they managed to mess up the cabbage, which also lacked flavor. I had gotten baked beans as an appetizer which were decent, and my boyfriend got the clam chowder which he said was okay. Maybe this is just the wa... read more

Great food and fun atmosphere, it was good to be back – I had lunch at Durgin Park (on a Saturday) for the first time in about 10 years or more. My daughter and I had Yankee --- roast and I wasn't disappointed. It was delicious and the service was fast and friendly. There was ice water and corn bread on the table a minute after we were seated and the food came fast too. I can't wait to go back.

worst food and service and food in boston – I think it is the worst place in Boston. From food to service, nothing is good. after ordering our food, waiter makes a remark ,"Are you guys serious; that's it." THis remark was not at all in a funny or joking way. But we still thought that food should be good and it was the same like the service. My chicken was cold and beer was warm, almost came after 25 min. on a monday night (slowest day of the week).

Unique ambiance, great food, best service ever! – Durgin Park more than lives up to it's reputation. It's a fun place to go, to mingle with folks from all over, while you enjoy generous portions of the highest quality New England foods. A trip to Boston is not a trip to Boston unless you have at least one meal at this wonderful restaurant.

Classic Yankee comfort food at one of Boston's most famous restaurants. – The Scene A Boston benchmark since 1827, Durgin Park sits prominently in the heart of Quincy Market, where it caters to an astounding volume of out-of-towners. The restaurant keeps wait times short by seating smaller parties at long, communal tables (prepare to share the ketchup with neighboring patrons). Press clippings from the past half-century line the walls (most are still relevant; the menu remains unchanged). Harried waitresses exude patience wh... read more

I do not know what all the fess was about! – My wife and I had lunch recently during our trip to Boston. This was a highly recommend restaurant from a number of national sources, however we do not understand why! We did like to atmosphere but after that we were highly disappointed. The server was just OK, the food was poor, the portion sizes were small, and the prices were high. I had the baked scrod, a specialty of theirs, and it was below average. The baked beans were flavorless and undercooked. My wife had the chicken pot... read more

Horrible, absolutely horrible – I had their "famous" prime rib -- which must be know for its lack of flavor. I left 75% of it on the plate. My wife had fish and chips, which was "blah" -- completely without flavor. The baked beans were bland at best. My mom had shrip -- which was mediocre, but at least wasn't horrible like my prime rib. And my daughter had spaghetti, which tasted like little more that tomato sauce. This place was bland at its best, and downright horrible at its worst. And given the cost, you'd be better off ... read more

Been there, done that, glad it's over – As a frequent visitor to Boston we try to make all the "places to go" and for the most part they have lived up to their billing. Not so Durgin Park. My wife and myself both ordered the pot pie, hard to screw up a pot pie right?, mostly because we love a good pot pie mostly because we don't eat red meat and that kinda blew out the Durgin's so called famous pot roast. If I had not actually seen the pot pie in my plate I would not have known what I was eating because there was no taste wh... read more
