Durgin-Park Review

For huge portions of delicious food and a rowdy atmosphere where CEOs share tables with students, people have poured into Durgin-Park since 1827. If you don't have a reservation, join the quickly moving line that stretches down the stairs to the first floor of Faneuil Hall Marketplace's North Market building; you may wind up at a long table with other people (smaller tables are available). The food is wonderful -- prime rib the size of a hubcap, lamb chops, fried seafood, huge salads, broiled-to-order fish, and juicy roast turkey are sure bets. Boston baked beans are a signature dish, and this is the best place to try them. For dessert, Indian pudding (molasses and cornmeal baked for hours and served with ice cream) is a New England classic. Long known for backtalk from cranky waitresses, Durgin-Park now has friendly, professional service -- to the disappointment of some regulars.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
