Considered Boston’s “most historic” dining establishment, Durgin-Park is a lively and entertaining restaurant located in the iconic Faneuil Hall. Checkered-table clothes and communal dining tables make the experience a group affair and the restaurant is famous for its craft beer selection, Indian pudding, and massive cuts of prime rib. Next time you’re in Boston make sure to fit in time for a meal and some live entertainment at Durgin-Park.
Co-created by former professional football players, Fred Smerlas and Steve DeOssie, Fred & Steve’s was opened inside a small casino in 2007, just a little less than hour outside Boston. While there are a variety of options on the menu, Fred & Steve’s is a joint that’s known for steak. Whether it’s the bone-in double cut prime rib, or a marbled New York sirloin paired with lobster mac and cheese, these plates do not disappoint.
Whether dining for lunch or dinner, Del Frisco’s features a delicious menu with a full range of fresh seafood, regional soups, and richly seasoned steaks and chops. The dinner menu boasts, amongst a savory selection of filet mignon, bone-in prime rib, and veal porterhouse, the Wagyu “Longbone” – a 32 oz. ribeye that is not to be missed. The restaurant also recently launched a new lunch menu, including a “Business Lunch” option with a choice of starter and entrée. Start off with a chilled shrimp cocktail before noshing on filet medallions or prime ribeye Milanese.
Situated in Boston’s historic Old City Hall building, Ruth’s Chris offers every steak on the menu with the option of being served bone-in or off the bone. In addition to its nearly unparalleled selection of steaks, diners can enjoy Maine lobster, New Orleans style barbecued shrimp, and lamp chops. The Boston location has also recently welcomed the addition of the talented Dominican-born Chef Andy Ortiz, who has been passionately enhancing the restaurant’s menu.
