Overall, a disappointment. I'm not a big drinker, so any cocktail I can drink like a soda is pretty weak. My husband said the prime rib was good, but he's...read more

The lobster was rubbery, dry, and tasteless: it was by far the worst lobster that either I or my companion had ever tasted. Also,...read more

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 while explaining old-time menu items like Indian pudding.
The Food
From the dense squares of cornbread that begin every meal to the hulking cuts of prime rib that hang over the plate, stick-to-your-ribs fare is the name of the game. Entrees like broiled lamb chops and flaky baked scrod come with a choice of potato (whipped mashed potatoes or meaty steak fries) and vegetable of the day. Boston baked beans, famously redolent of molasses, are a must-try. Desserts include strawberry shortcake.
