Tasty Burger – Back Bay

Oh my god there was this girl at tasty burger and she had this outrageous weave and she didn’t have her hair covered and I was concerned about her hair getting into my food then I asked to speak to the manager because I was concerned about her hair getting into my food and she heard me talking about her, so after I spoke to the manager I walked away and I proceeded to wait for my order which was an In House order and I stood in line where people were waiting to get their order then this lil girl, the same lil rachet girl came from around the counter with all of this clown hair came and pretty much tried to squeeze in between myself in the wall and it wasn’t even an inch in between me and the wall and said to me «I hope you wasn’t taking pictures of me» I said are sure you don’t want to be Facebook famous? (Obiviouly an attention seeker with that hair) and the reason why I asked her anyways it was a horrible experience all I wanted was no hair in my food that’s all. I don’t recommend anyone to go to that particular tasty burgers especially if the staff is as ratchet as the staff was there.

If this is what you call «medium» you might need to check on that one. My burger is cold and raw… got all the way home to see this as my dinner. If I wanted raw I’d of gotten Douzo next door.

Service at the bar is amazingly friendly! I think his name is Peter?
*Kaylee at the bar is great too!*
Burger & beers– a great way to wait for your train time.
Tasty burger was indeed tasty, veggie toppings fresh.

Meh.
Ok food but the service… 6 staffers standing around with maybe 10 people in the whole place and you can’t get my order right?
How hard is cheeseburger, diet Coke, onion strings, to go?
I got cheeseburger, Coke and fries, to stay.
Cashier is either really stupid or doesn’t give a damn.

Already drunk and looking for a hangout after a show, Tasty Burger hit the spot.
It is reasonably priced, though I wouldn’t necessarily say «cheap,» they serve alcohol (what is this mystical thing — fast food with alcohol??? Why haven’t I seen this before??? Is it really that hard to get a liquor license?), and I was really overwhelmed by the number of sauces!
The french fries and onion rings were both solid — the onion rings were very small, but there were many of them. I think the primary reason that they were small was to enable the highest possible onion: fry ratio, which is really what everyone wants anyway. Really the food was just normal. But let us revisit the sauces.
There were just so many of them! The sauces were at the bar but they let us take one of the sauce wheels to our table, where we partook in the likes of mayonnaise, sriracha, vinegar, ketchup, mustard, barbecue sauce, Tasty Burger sauce (I don’t know if this is what they called it, but it was my favorite, especially in combination with the mayonnaise, call me a heathen). I think there were more, even — or honestly, maybe I was just drunk, and enthusiastic in my stupor.
All in all the experience here ended up feeling eclectic — drinking glasses of wine in very serviceable little glasses, while eating large quantities of fried foods off of red checked wax paper smothered in different sauces in the way a painter’s palette might be, with different combinations of sauce bleeding together at the edges creating new and better creations.
Why the three stars, you ask? Well, at the end of the day it IS a fast food joint, and it isn’t cheap — but I did enjoy my time here, in a nostalgic way. Tasty Burger just isn’t the place you go to get drinks with someone, at least not for me – to me it feels like your «post-​game,» the place you go once you’ve already been out a while and just want to have some greasy food with friends before heading home for the night.
You too should come to Tasty Burger, under similar late-​night circumstances.

The location (within the train station) is a bit sketch, but the burgers themselves are good. I wish they had some kind of sauce or special something like the other major brands but it was a damn good burger nonetheless…

The casual burger scene in Back Bay got a nice makeover during the middle of 2015 with the entrance of Tasty Burger by Back Bay Station and Shake Shack on Newbury.
When you go to Tasty Burger, you know what you’re going for. Having been a staple by Fenway for many a years, Tasty Burger provides a nice, meaty, greasy burger with a variety of toppings including jalapenos, mushrooms and eggs. Fries are decent, though nothing amazing.
Best part is its open late and theres a section that serves beer with 2 nice flat screens so its perfect for a chill after work hanging out or to stumble into after a late night at Clerys next door to satisfy the drunchies.

I am visiting from Phoenix and I was looking for a local burger joint. Something besides the well known 5 Guys or Smash Burger.
Since my Unilocal app rarely lets me down, I decided to try Tasty Burger and I was not let down!
My burger was fresh and juicy and my fries were good as well.
The service was also good, the young lady at the cashier was personable and very helpful.
I would recommend this place to anyone who is craving a good gourmet burger.

Unnnnffff… Tasty Burger is honestly my favorite burger place in Boston. It saddens me so much that I’m moving to San Francisco in two weeks knowing that I will not be able to have a tasty burger. *Cries*
I brought the bf here and he ended up eating here FOUR days in a row! Haha! I was super jealous while he was sending me pictures of his burger while I was at work.
Also, I recommend eating at the bar. It’s more of a table-​service and the bartender working the day we were there was awesome and accommodating. The student deal is amazing if you show your id (burger, fries, and a beer for $ 10!).
Don’t forget to add the french fry seasonings onto your fries. mmmm…

Dogs were OK; we had the yakisoba dog — just like a regular hot dog, but with yakisoba noodles. It’s worth it to try something new, but frankly, would prefer a chili dog. Staff was great; place was very crowded (pre-​Canucks game). Patrons were very nice and friendly — you had to be as there was barely enough room to move around the place, let alone eat.

Update: This place still stinks. Cashier kept yawning. Nobody is friendly. I only ordered a fry and they were hard. Not cooked enough? The guy behind the counter giving out people’s orders could pull up his pants. I don’t need to see butts hanging out where I’m ordering food.
This Tasty Burger scares me. Workers don’t look that clean and they use the same gloves for everything. Unprofessional. Don’t think they will stay open for long. Back Bay station isn’t clean to begin with. Burger was ok, didn’t seem that hot. I had better food at Tasty near Fenway.
Today I witnessed one of the coworkers collecting all the half empty Sriracha bottles and pouring them into one to make a full bottle. Kind of gross to me and they did it out in the open on a table.
I think I’ll avoid this place.

Good burger, but not sure Tasty Burger is going to make anyone’s top 5 list in Boston. Worth trying one. Pass on the Chili Cheese Tots

Great food and great company. If it’s your first time get the Big Tasty, it’s their signature burger. Once you’re then begin to explain the menu. If you like spicy foods, get the spicy jalapeño– seriously it’s spicy. It’s not like one of those places where you say spicy and it’s actually sweet. It’s great and filling food! Staff is nice, and since I’ve been here very accommodating. They ran out of shakes though! Babe was a little disappointed but he loves there fries so they made up for it

I’d like to preface this by saying that I created a Unilocal account to document awful, unreceptive behavior by one of Tasty Burger’s staff Friday evening.
A customer skipped the entire line last night when the wait was greater than 20 minutes. We brought this to the attention of one of the managers, Chris, and he still served the line skipping customer, telling us, «It’s not my job to police the line.» The manager also appeared to know the line skipper, but once we began discussing the issue with him, the manager obviously did not admit to this, which further irritated us and the remaining people in the line.
The fact that the staff, or specifically the manager Chris, will not enforce social norms, claiming that it is not his or her job, is unacceptable and infuriating. It IS the staff’s job to enforce the rules, and Chris (a Tasty Burger employee) is wrong to claim otherwise.
In my opinion, look for another establishment for late night food. I will never be returning.

Really good burgers at a really good price! Who wouldn’t want a beer with their burger! Sit in the «adult only» section for beer or wine. The bar tender was super friendly & helpful. She was great! I’d definitely come back!

This is only my second visit to tasty burger
and the quality control is already… GONE!
My burger was mostly raw meat.
Since I was already home before I opened it,
I just cooked it to «medium» myself.
Seeing how thin the burger patties are,
I wonder how long it was ever on a grill.
THE DEAL: check your burger before you leave.
Maybe they were just having an off night?

Tasty Burger is the quintessential late night burger joint that you frequent after some solid night’s drinking. I wouldn’t go to this place expecting greatness nor service service extraordinaire, but a good size cheeseburger does hit the spot around 2am. The burgers here are actually pretty good and the fries are awesome. I’d recommend this place for a late night salt fix.

Tasty Burger might be the one true love I never found until I moved to Boston. It might be my favorite fast food burger… ever. And I’ve had a lot of burgers.
That well-​seasoned patty. That soft, delicious, bun. Take me, Tasty Burger. Take me now!
The only issue I have with the Back Bay location is that it’s a bit slowwww for fast food. I feel like I need to wait ages every time.
It’s such a tease.

Now that I live equidistant from Tasty Burger and Shake Shack, I’m on a constant mission to declare one better than the other. And I’m not sure I ever will.
Eating at this location was my first Tasty Burger experience and it was a great one. Sunny day, great patio, nice beer selection. Already a huge one up on Shake Shack– they have chicken sandwiches! I had the chipotle chicken and it was delicious. The onion rings are awesome and I love that you can do a fries/​rings combo.
I’ve yet to try the burger but I see it happening in my near future. Also looking forward to trying the chicken nuggets. Really happy to welcome Tasty Burger to the neighborhood!

In comparison to its Fenway location:
— Fewer seats
— Smaller menu
— No true table service
— No pool table
— Same affordable deliciousness!
The staff is incredibly friendly and while they don’t offer a true table service, the staff visited each table and offered to help clear away trays and/​or trash.
There are two entrances — one from Dartmouth Street and one from inside Back Bay station — and depending on which side you enter from, orientation around the restaurant can be a bit confusing. If you enter from Back Bay Station, it’s not made clear that ordering from the cashiers immediately in front of you will not get your order brought to your table — you have to order from the bar for that. However, if you enter in from Dartmouth Street, there’s plenty of signage to help orient customers.
Despite the smaller menu, the food holds true to that Tasty goodness we all know and love.
Can we also all say «It’s about time» to finally having a late-​night food option in the neighborhood that isn’t Star Market?
