Had a great meal here the other night. Food is what I would describe as down home. Fried chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, and bone in pork chop with homemade potato chips are just a couple of the dishes on the menu. But, everything I had was delicious. In addition, despite being comfort food, all the dishes had a little flare to them. Atmosphere is really unique as well. Can't think of another place like it in Boston.

Sunset Grill and Tap

Mediocre atmosphere and average food don't completely overshadow the fantastic beer selection and superb service at this local Allston haunt. With over 100 beers on tap and countless more in the bottle, there is never a shortage to choose from. Even the most adept beer aficionado will find something to please the palate.

Additionally, the waitstaff makes you feel right at home. One waiter in particular is especially inviting. He has tended to my every need many times in the past 6 months. At first his overly friendly demeanor and penchant for sharing just a little too much information every time he comes to the table was mildly off-putting. However, in time I have come to realize his friendly attitude is part of the charm that makes Sunset such a great place to begin one's evening.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend the food...other than the sweet potato fries, which are, most nights, served just how you like them..."hot and crispy!"

Fung Wah Bus

Fung Wah puts the "Fun" in Fung. As one shuttles towards NYC from Boston's South Station on this Chinese adventure bus, thoughts of one's own mortality may begin to creep up from the back of the mind into the forefront of one's consciousness. However, the savings the Fung Wah affords are well worth any discomfort endured on the approximately 4 hour journey.
