Used to go here every week. Recent shrinking portions (5 onion rings for $6.95!) and increasing prices have resulted in my going across the same shopping are to Joe's American. The beer is consistently good, but the rest of the place has lost its former edge. more

Very good beer. The chicken pot pie is excellent, just ignore the fact that it contains 2 sticks of butter (no really) more

A diverse menu that fills your craving for a burger or a big meal. I love the Lentil & Hummus salad... DH loves (#1 their home brews but also) the Lafayette burger and Grilled Meatloaf.

John Harvards consistently delivers as a high-quality, low-cost place to get pub food. The beer (try the sampler paddle) is excellent, the pub nachos fantastic, and the pizza equally tasty.

I feel a little silly bringing visitors to Massachusetts to this restaurant, since its over-the-top Boston/Harvard theme does strike me as a weird combination of pretentious and stupid. But the fact that John Harvard's brews its own beer, and you can even watch them doing it, plus the fact that they do a more than decent job making reasonably priced,... more
