So we ranked 11 of Faneuil Hall ’s sit - down dinner options for you , so you may make the good of your clip in our metropolis ’s favorite tourist trap . While it does n’t precisely measure up ( it ’s not a right sit - down dinner party position ) , we have to give a yell out toWalrus and the Carpenter , our best-loved no - flounce mode to love some oysters and a lobster ringlet on our lunch break .

11. Dick’s Last Resort

The name says it all . While this billet will deal you food and deglutition , none of it is stuff you ’d really want to , you know , eat or fuddle ( peculiarly the Southern / New England bunk entrees with spellings like " lobsta " and " platta " ) . Chances are , you ’ve been drag here by a couple of nephews who are all about the unmannered staff and " curious " white hats . Grin and carry it … just demand indemnification decades later .

10. Cheers

Another one that ’s … clearly not for the local . It ’s kind of impressive , alone in that it ’s a fairly spot - on diversion – not of the original Cheers bar on Beacon Hill , but of the set of the TV show , with far more window , and far , far more shelves of appurtenance . The solid food is mostly fried - handbasket fare , although if you superintend to scarf down the anvil - sized Giant Norm Burger , you ’ll get to convey home a ceremonial plate . So , not all tough . Bring the nephew ( when they twist 21 ) .

9. The Hideout

It ’s a dive bar down in the gut of Durgin - Park – what ’s not to love ? Well , for dispatcher , it ’s a piffling too well - fall for a diva . And the military service is , how do we say it … not so full . And the food , well , the food is what it is ( seafood - y , but not spectacular ) , although the oysters are commonly pretty tonic . There ’s also even put up - up clowning , which either dramatically adds or subtracts value , depending on who ’s perform .

8. Ned Devine’s

A modern twisting on tavern grub means appetizers like corned beef and wampum egg rolls , and Guinness onion soup , which may or may not be deserving the crowds of holidaymaker – that ’s your call .

7. Zuma Tex Mex Grill

Come for the tequila ; abide for the tequila ; eat some sizzle fajitas in between . Every Tex - Mex basic make an show here , from seven - layer free fall to taco salad to , um , burgers . But burrito and tacos and fajitas abound , and there ’s a whole page of margarita and cerveza offering , so go with that .

6. Anthem Kitchen + Bar

Now we ’re really talking : Anthem serves New American menu in a grown - up setting , slightly remove from the multitude , and for these reasons alone , we ’re fans . But there are also a flock of staple goodies here , from the pan - roasted crybaby to the lobster Cobb , and a couple of totally serviceable flatbreads . We ’re officially in check - plus territory here .

5. Durgin-Park

Thisis what the fossilized relation have been waiting for : one of the oldest restaurants in the country dishing up authentic(ish ! ) New England do at recollective communal table , normally covered with checked tablecloth . If you ’re feeling too fancy for it , seek to remember what fun feels like . When ’s the last time you had Yankee pot roast , chicken pot pie , a corned beef platter , or " frankfurters " as an access ? All the seafood staple are represented , too , from the chowder to the clambakes . It ’s somewhat expensive and pretty touristy – and often mocked by local foodies – but there ’s a lot to encompass .

4. MIJA Cantina and Tequila Bar

follow for the tequila , stay for the astonishingly chic interior decoration and totally decent Mexican food ( … cheeseburger taco apart ) . It ’s a entrant , but a goodie , with a terrific tequila fare featuring over 100 options that nicely complement the cocktail selection ( because aboveboard , you ’re there for the drinking , even if your traveling companions are not ) .

3. wagamama

Hello , undercover favorite dinner situation . Yeah , it ’s a chain , but it ’s a chain of mountains that began in London , which probably explains its so - not - the - chains - you’re - used - to superiority . This spot propose genuinely great noodle dishes that supply well to omnivores , as well as vegetarians and vegan . Even the ramen is good , and the lollipop shrimp kushiyaki and tori kara age are two of our guilty appetizer pleasance – except we do n’t even really feel that guilty about them . If you ’re going to have a repast in Faneuil Hall , then you could do far , far worse .

2. Salty Dog Seafood Grill & Bar

Outdoor seating area and a subterraneous huitre bar : this place might just be our pet Faneuil spot . It ’s like a sit - down dollar hut where you’re able to overeat on every iteration of stew and chowder , deep-fried Pisces sandwich , roll , and po - son . ( There ’s also some dumb " Fitness First " fare . Ignore that . ) For us , it ’s all about the raw bar , steamer clam bucket , and the entrees , specifically the fried fish plates and the lobster casserole .

1.McCormick & Schmick’s

Whoops , a chain bring home the bacon . But if you ’re looking for the genuine good meal in Faneuil , this is your ticket . McCormick & Schmick ’s train genuinely delicious bacon - envelop shrimp , well - prepped fish ( with pubic louse lumps , ideally ) , New England standbys like lobster and fried shekels , miscellaneous grill plates , and steak : dry - older , with your option of sauce . Add to that the fact that its old - schooling cocktails are completely legit ( made from fresh juices , etc . ) , and it ’s decipherable : this shoes is just a dependable , smart wager .
