Green Street Grill

A six page drink menu! That’s awesome for an indecisive drinker like myself. I can highly recommend the Corazon (I think that’s what it’s called) and the Rum Cup.

The Green Street Grill has changed hands and is now known as Green Street. See reviews here:

the new and improved GSG is awesome!

YUM!

I LOVED this place for drinks and dinner. I used to go almost weekly to get a dark and stormy, some plantains and yucca. I am so sad to learn that since my last visit (it has been a while since I have been) it is under new management, with a new name, and a whole new cuisine. I never got to have a ‘last meal’. Come back Green Street Grill, please. :(

I recently went with my friends who ranted and raved about this place, they hadn’t been since the summer though, but they convinced me before we got there that i had to get the macaroni and cheese with duck. When we looked at the menu to order an appetizer they pointed out that the prices had gone up at least 4 – 5 dollars on every entrée, i didn’t mind because i didn’t think it was too expensive but it was a bit pricey for the meal. I cant remember the appetizers name but it was like a cheese onion quiche it was pretty good. Nice drink selection but i had a drink with chartreuse in it, and in the first sip remembered i don’t like chartreuse, but my friends enjoyed it.

I may be in the minority, but I like the new menu here a lot better than the old one, which used to burn my mouth off and require friends to make emergency trips to the kitchen to get me cold glasses of milk.
Maybe I’m not being fair– the old menu was really yummy. But the new menu… modern comfort food done up all gourmet-​like, is amazing. It suits my tastes much more. But, I’m very glad that tho the food changed a lot, the cozy atmosphere and chill vibe has remained.
My husband and I took my mom here recently for dinner, the second time we’ve been since the menu change. We started with the homemade chips and dip, and the yummy clams casino– both not to be missed. As my entrée I got the roasted organic chicken, which came with greens and whipped potatoes. Very simple and absolutely delicious. Seasoned perfectly and really juicy.
My husband and mum got the duck breast and the shrimp and scallop casserole respectively, and really enjoyed them. Lovely presentation on everything.
Dessert was a smidge disappointing– we got the butterscotch pudding, and it was a little runny with a strange texture– on our last visit it had been perfect (rivaling that of Lineage). So we were bummed.
I can’t speak for the wine list because I’m in love with the cocktail menu… the AirMail is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had!

Green St Grill is apparently NO MORE. It is now just «Green St». The website that you see has a menu that is out of date and not representative. Look up Green St. to give reviews and to see the up to date reviews on the new place.

The ambiance here is really spectacular, very mature and stylish without being too over the top. The food, unfortunately, wasn’t quite up to par. My macaroni and cheese with duck confit was good but not exceptional — and vegetarians beware! When we went there was one skimpy vegetarian pasta entrée which was exteremely forgettable. There’s better food in Central for the money, but the atmosphere is pretty unbeatable.

Joe’s gone. BOO.

G.S.G deserves many hollers. Easily one of my favorite bars.
The first time I went in there was on a sunny afternoon in the wind tunnel alley on Green Street. After passing by there while on walks … I finally led people in there thinking it would be some shitty old timer alcoholic joint. COMPLETE OPPOSITE! Although they ‘d most probably welcome some shitty old timer alcoholic with open arms. Was pretty bummed when they closed. but damn when it opened again. it was better than a Puppy Surprise! (How many puppies are there inside?) So fresh while keeping those same quirks and jazz about the whole place. I think the most action and vibe comes from the bar. As soon as you walk in. you are just sucked in towards a stool. Joe is the best. He and the whole staff does a great job keeping regulars coming in.
Food melts. Menu seems seasonal. Plenty of apps and desserts. Banana icecream with the brownie sundae. My god.
Seating area upstairs is great for groups too. Service is chills even if you aren’t really up for the whole dinner thing. We usually meet up there. order a bottle or much loved strong cocktails off their list… and then hop on. but not before stopping by the bar area and having another drink. Fresh squeezed juices… even pineapple… say whaaaaa…
Hmm. always have a unexpected great time there… good for those tell all deep secret nights.
Never go earlier than 5 or Sunday’s… it’s more of a night hawk in either pajamas or heels place.

Meh. Wasn’t that impressed. I think their food is way too pricey and not exceptional-​tasting. Waitstaff very friendly, though.

Great ambiance, very friendly staff, and the biggest frickin’ mussels ($ 10 for a huge plate of huge meaty mussels) I’ve ever eaten swimming in buttery sauce so rich and savory that you’ll wish you could order it as a drink.

Best steak Frites I have ever had!

A couple of people hipped me to this spot, and it was as good as advertised. I think it was recently redone. They made good choices on the décor, and I was feeling the Jamaican music backdrop (Wolves and Leopards, murder!). But the real draw is the food. I had the trout and my friend had the chicken. Both ridiculously good. So was the appetizer salad. All was rich without being heavy, full flavored, beautifully presented. Not to mention great bread, excellent drinks, attentive but not overbearing wait staff. It’s not cheap, but it’s not crazy expensive either, and for a nice dinner it’s definitely worth it. I would give it 4.5 stars, but that does not seem to be a Unilocaling option. Where’s the nuance?

One of the better places in Central to eat and have drinks. Everything here is delectable! Just make sure to stay away from the Goat Stew… my boyfriend got it one night, and the waitress warned him that it was HOT, to which he replied, «pssshaw! I can take it.»
Wow, was he is pain… and the sad thing is, he really CAN take ultra-​spicy foods, but this meal just defeated him. I can’t imagine who COULD eat it, knowing what he can usually handle!
But everything else is safe to eat and tasty as hell!!!
UPDATE: I went here again a few weeks ago and noticed the goat stew was missing from the menu… I don’t think anyone was able to tame that crazy-​spicy beast of a dish!

Don’t let the shady dive bar façade fool you. This is one great bar and restaurant with phenomenal, unique Caribbean-​French food. Not to mention, Joe the bartender (also of Game On! fame) is one of the best.
I highly recommend the mussels with grilled bread, the catfish with hush puppies, the sweet fried plantains with spicy ketchup, the yucca frita with mojito sauce (don’t miss this!), the warm chocolate cake… I could go on and on. Go with friends and order a smörgåsbord of foods to share. The menu is just too good to pick only one.
P. S. It’s also right next to the Green Street parking lot, which only costs $ 1.00 per hour.

I have had drinks here a few times, but I’ve never come for lunch or dinner. But I rue — RUE — the day when they stopped serving Sunday brunch, because it was truly the best thing since sliced bread. Pepper and onion-​laden home fries, scrambled eggs with *spicy* salsa verde, fried plantains … oh! It was amazing. RIP Brunch at Green Street.
I’ll be in to try dinner soon;)

I went to revisit this old favorite earlier this week to discover it is CLOSED. But, back when I first moved to Boston — I loved to eat here, they had incredible service, the food was always delicious (the fish was always perfect), the drinks were great, and the atmosphere very chill!
It sounds like it is planning to re-​open soon so I am excited to see what happens.

Easily the best restaurant in central square. Definitely feels like a hidden gem behind its not-​quite-​appealing exterior. Particularly tasty dishes include the lamb, pork chop and steak although EVERYTHING I’ve had here has been good. Be careful with the spicy food — I love my food HOT but my lips felt like they were blistering after a few pieces of jerk chicken. But if you order enough of their tasty mojitos you will forget about the pain!

CLOSED!!! Best place in Central Square, worked there for almost four years, hung out and ate there every day off! Isn’t is nice to love the place you work. Unfortunately, it is closed. The business was sold, and is going to re-​open under a new management. Fear not! the executive chef, Mark Romano is staying, so the food will still be EXCELLENT, the new atmosphere however, is yet to be seen. Lets hope for the best!
Update: Chef Mark Romano has Left the Green Street Grill, no more Goat Stew! I haven’t had anything off the New menu, I should Clarify that the 5 Stars I have given it are for the place I used to work, which no longer exists, If you want my review for «Green Street» the new place at the same location, type in «Green Street» as your search on Unilocal,not «Green Street Grill»

If you are going for the salsa, go later in the evening. They have a hard time starting on time. We were told they start at 10 but nothing got moving until a bit after midnight.
