The 9 Best Restaurants In Fenway And Kenmore Square

"Lobster rolls are obviously great, but deciding between drawn butter or mayo can be stressful. You don’t have to do that at Bennet’s on Peterborough, because the roll here is made with both. This little counter-service spot should be where you go to stock up for a picnic in the Fens." - dan secatore

Where To Eat And Drink Around Northeastern

"A couple doors down from El Pelon is Bennett’s, another place where you can fill up for not a ton of cash. It’s a sandwich shop that serves good 8 and 12 inch subs, one of which is a really good lobster roll that uses both mayo and drawn butter. But their breakfast subs may be our favorite thing in the restaurant, since one of them covers you for lunch, too." - dan secatore

Bennett’s Sandwich Shop - Review - Fenway - Boston - The Infatuation

"Bennett’s is a counter-service sandwich shop that makes a solid lobster roll with both mayonnaise and drawn butter. The whole menu is worth exploring beyond just the roll, though (try the cheesesteak). Head here when you want to grab a quick lunch in the neighborhood (they have tables out front), eat good food that’s a lot cheaper than what you’re going to get inside the ballpark when you’re going to the game, or are stocking up for a picnic in the Fens." - Dan Secatore

Boston’s Best Grilled Cheese Sandwiches | Eater Boston

"In its simplest form, grilled cheese is true beauty. The version served at Bennett’s in Fenway — an import from Kennebunk, Maine — features toasted white bread and melty American cheese, and that’s all it needs." - Dana Hatic

HOLY F. BEST VEGGIE SUB, BOOTS DOWN. Omg this sandwich just saved me, I feel like a brand new person. AND it doesn’t make you feel like you need to change out your jeans for an elastic waistband or fall asleep at my desk when I go back to work. Jersey mikes veggie sub doesn’t hold a candle to this beacon of beauty. Also the crew working today was hella nice!

Subs are really good. Excellent id say. I'll never understand why I can't get any napkins or why I have to specify I need napkins for delivery orders. Spend 40 bucks on two subs and a drink and I think it should be a given to send napkins. Every order I place..I never receive napkins. Times aren't that hard to not give napkins to customers. Especially who purchased subs. Thanks

I got a couple of sandwiches, and the service and food were very good. Perhaps they weren't that busy, but the hot sub was really hot! And prepared quickly. Service was with a smile. Parking was limited to non existent on this busy street so seek a spot off street and strategize ahead.

Amazing sandwich for a very good price. Came out super quick and was very tasty. Would definitely recommend

Best cheesesteak I've had in boston. Service is also fast, and they deliver via uber eats and doordash, though I've experienced some trouble through that method, with uber failing to properly assign drivers. That's not the restaurant's fault, and besides the point, but it is something to be aware of. Back to the topic, the restaurant itself is fairly small and has limited seats, but is always kept very clean and tidy. I'd recommend their bottled sodas, they're not too fizzy but have great flavor! One of the only sodas I actually like! But overall, a great restaurant, I'd recommend stopping by!

Delicious sandwiches! My Stegg Bowl was tasty! My husband’s steak and cheese was awesome…just a tad dry so get some sriracha aioli to add to it. Then it was perfection!

Bennett’s is the kind of spot that never disappoints. Their grilled cheese is unreal—crispy, buttery bread with just the right amount of gooey cheese. Simple but done perfectly. If you’re extra hungry, throw in some steak, and you’ve got a next-level sandwich. The portions are solid, the fries are great, and the whole place has that laid-back, no-fuss vibe. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite or fueling up before a Sox game, Bennett’s hits the spot every time.

Buyer Beware if you order Uber Eats. Super disappointed they forgot my drink, siracha sauce for my fries and other side. I feel ripped off and overcharged. Will try to get reimbursed but not happy with my order:/ Dissapponted this is my experience after looking for top rated places in the area.

Can here for the first time 4/5/25 with my wife. we ordered the large bacon cheeseburger sub. The food was awesome. The sub was nice and hot. The service was excellent. He took my order right away. The only downside is the fries were a little salty, but they were very fresh and hot.. we will definitely be coming back here again

I ended up taking a detour on my lunch travels the other day and I had not noticed this sandwich shop before. Going in was a good decision. Like most spots on this part of Boylston Street, the inside is set for the in-and-out and take out lunch crowds. It is a cozy and bright atmosphere which is just right for a short pit stop. I ordered a large Pastrami and they definitely hit the target! I'll be back to go through more of the menu as time goes on.

Ordered 2 sandwiches from here for pickup. Order estimate was 30 minutes and it was ready when we got there. The interior is nice feels warm and cosy. I ordered the 'famous chicken cheesesteak' which is a hot sub comes with onions peppers and mushrooms. I asked for no cheese and it actually worked this time because a previous time it still had cheese despite the request. Sandwich was good - bread was soft and the shredded chicken meat was plentiful. Veggies were a bit on the lighter side. I ate half of the 12 inch sub for dinner and saved the other half for the next day. Hubs ordered one of the cold cut sandwiches with ham and turkey supposed to have tomatoes- but there were no tomatoes. :( He thought the sandwich was okay. Saved his half for lunch leftovers as well. I would give a 3.5 stars for the missing ingredients. Overall okay experience, will try some other sandwiches next time.

Would've gone 3.5 stars if available. Got a steak and cheese and thought it was decent. Not really a standout - but wouldn't rush to go back. Service was average.

The only sub shop you need to hit in Boston is Bennett's, period! I'm dead serious, don't even play with me. That steak, egg, and cheese with hash browns and spicy mayo? CHANGED MY LIFE. I'm debating having them cater my wedding. Every bite is ridiculous. I've tried other spots, but Bennett's in Fenway just gets it. Fast, flavorful, and makes you question every sandwich decision you've ever made, gapeesh?

I've tried the pastrami, italian signature sub, and the f-bomb. I love sandwiches and this place definitely is now my go-to place for subs now! They have 3 different sizes so I decided to do the kids size for two different sandwiches because I wanted to try both. The bread is so yummy and the chicken isn't dry at all but super juicy. I ordered in and it was fast in making it. I would recommend this place for a quick yummy bite that is also affordable!

Really like their tasty Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. It is good for lunch and dinner as you can eat one half for lunch and the other half later, for dinner.

The food was tasteless. The bread was undercooked to our liking. It was clean and service was good. The food though...not for us. We had a turkey and provolone along with a chicken salad sandwich. We had to add anything we could for them to have flavor

I had the port fries from this place before and I obviously knew I had to get them again since they were excellent last time (maybe even the best fries I've ever had) but this time I was interested in trying out the sandwiches. I went with their steak and cheese. I ordered their through a catering app at work, but despite it being delivery, it was still warm when it arrived. It was a decently sized sandwich, about 8 inches long. I took a bite and my first thought was, "wow, this is the softest bread I've ever had." It reminded me of the buns they use for baos where it's malleable, soft, and pale in color. This wrapped around a heap of meat that was perfectly cooked, but I wish the cheese flavor was more prominent. I think because it was mixed in with the meat, it was hard to distinguish the taste. I do wish it came with a sauce or had a spread to make the sandwich more interesting, or less dry. The fries were as delicious as last time (only some were a but overcooked) and the sauce it comes with was amazing. Overall, very much enjoyed the food once again.

Excellent place for a quick bite on the way to Fenway Park. I selected a simple sausage, egg and cheese on a roll and the staff member suggested a perfect twist by adding Sriracha aïoli.

Such a great spot! The bread is amazing, def toast it for the perfect texture.. it's super fresh. I love the wicked turkey and wicked Italian, as well as making my own combos and the breakfast sandwiches on their signature sub rolls are insane... always add the hash browns in and also get them on the side! Bennett's is def my go to sub/sandwich spot and I don't even bother ordering from anywhere else bc it just won't be as good.

Came here for breakfast on a Friday morning and ordered a bagel with eggs, bacon, and lettuce. The cashier was super friendly and the space is open and lively. There are a ton of options and I would definitely come back for a quick lunch.

Love their sandwiches. I'm a regular customer. Not a fan of the sub rolls they use. They're very soft, become mushy very quickly. I wish they had an alternative sub roll selection which offered more of a baguette-like, crispy crust or another choice like a panini. I hate to leave a bad review because I like their sandwiches, but the type of bread they offer is unfortunately a big deal.

Ordered a veggie sub, found what looks like steak in it. The food is good but the risk of cross contamination isn't worth it if you have any kind of dietary restrictions.

I am big on customer service, and creating a good experience for the customer in front you. It's kinda old school I guess. The food here I got delicious. I haven't got a ton of food but what I have has been good. BUT, big but, the old man with the tight hat, and the skinny guy with the skinny stache have horrible attitudes. It's the weirdest thing because the register lady is so sweet. They are super impatient and unhelpful. One didn't even know how to add points to my account after making a purchase and just went to the next customer. They are subtle with it but after time and time again it adds up, trust me!

Matt and his team at the Boston Bennett's are always top notch in customer service and consistency. Matt goes above and beyond to greet customers & ensure satisfaction. I have become a regular for lunchtime (turkey & cheese) a classic but delicious sub & I must try their breakfast sandwiches! With so many options in the Fenway area you cannot go wrong with something from Bennett's (and it's affordable!)

Sandwich had potential, but had to stop eating due to the amount of eggshells I kept chewing on. It was too hard to pick them out. Waste of money and time.

It's probably exactly what you were expecting The pastrami breakfast sandwich was great, if a little greasy, and the Italian we grabbed for lunch was solid, but could use something like hots on it as a standard (or at least a required option) to give it some oomph.

Ordered through Uber Eats restaurant claimed someone took order and refused to remake for driver! Now I come on here and see they have recent health violations guess I should be grateful for their horrible customer service!!

*This review is regarding a delivery order Are they overpriced? Yea... Do I keep ordering from them time and time again? Also, yea! Their sandwiches are really good! And I know what you're thinking...a sandwich is a sandwich, how good could it be? I think it has to do with the bread because while it's not the best bread I've ever tasted in my entire life, it's pretty darn good bread. If I had to recommend one sandwich to get from them, it would be the cheese steak. Now, I'm a New Yorker not a Philedlphian, so don't come for me if it's not Philly cheesesteak level, but it's good!

That was a good sandwich! I ordered a small cheesesteak sandwich and I would hate to see the large. Portions are big here. The bread was tender and the meat, veggies and cheese ratio was perfect! This place would be a problem if I lived here.

Absolutely delicious sandwiches ! My husband got the cheesesteak (no veggies because he's so picky!) and I got the turkey and cheese. Both had amazing flavors ! Highly recommend !

This is a hidden gem that more people should be talking about! I first tried their wicked steak & cheese (cheesesteak with sriracha aioli and hot sauce) and will definitely be coming back to try their other menu items. You can choose your bread type (including gluten free) and get a small or large sandwich (+$3). Most small sandwiches beside the lobster rolls are $9.49, but there are also other cheaper sandwiches. The small sandwich itself is PACKED with meat and is a big portion on its own. I thought their fries ($4.49) seemed a bit pricey as a side but I tried them anyway. They are thick, crinkle-cut, and very crispy on the outside. Better than Shake Shack fries in my opinion! They're worth the splurge if you're craving fries.

This steak and cheese is the best in Massachusetts hands down. The food was incredible, the service is very quick and they are very friendly. I went to the location in Fenway, the only thing I can say is avoid trying to dine in if your driving and the socks are playing. Other than that this place is great. This sub is easily a 10/10

Excellent sandwiches. Had the original Steak and the Wicked Italian (fantastic spicy twist on a classic italian). James recommended the Bennett soda too. We were very impressed. Service was excellent. A must stop sandwich shop in Fenway!

I ordered a chicken sandwich through Relish. The bread was super fresh however the sandwich filling was a meager portion. It was even too little for me and I'm a tiny 5'3" woman with a small appetite. I felt hungry afterward.

i absolutely love this place. it's always very clean and the staff are all so nice. there's even one guy that remembers my name when i come in. most importantly the food is delicious, i've tried multiple things but the steak melt is where it's at!! will continue to come here during my lunch breaks 10/10 recommend :)

Squishy bread seemed gimmicky and underbaked for effect the steak itself was unseasoned the good part was the velvety cheesiness but I really couldn't taste anything but that. The problem is once you've had Carls in Waltham everything else seems weak.

Such a great little place for sandwiches. We ordered through Uber eats and it was ready when we arrived. The sandwiches were hot and delicious. They were fantastic with allergies as well! Definitely will be a regular stop when we are in the area!

Stopped here for breakfast on Sunday as it was near our hotel. I assume it's a chain but not one I've ever heard of. They have a wide array of sandwich offerings and you can get them on hoagie rolls, bagels, English muffins etc. I went with a copycat sausage egg McMuffin and added a side of hash browns. My family ordered what were essentially cheesesteaks with eggs. Everyone loved the food and prices were reasonable. My only gripe again is that Boston as a city doesn't seem to believe in regular drip decaf coffee. I was even fine to order regular Nitro brand (another apparent obsession in the city as it is everywhere even though it's not particularly good) but the hot wasn't working so I passed on the iced. I was also pleasantly surprised that the hash browns were more like little potato latkes! Soooooo good. Two orders were plenty for four. Store was immaculately clean and great customer service. If you're staying in the area this is a great quick breakfast option to fuel you up for the day.

Great breakfast sandwich, especially since nowadays places like Starbucks and Dunkin microwave everything and use egg beaters instead of REAL whole eggs. I mean come on! Coffee was alright but food was great!

So I try not to order out to much but was really in the mood for a good sub. Got a chicken tender sub with bacon, ranch, lettuce and tomatoes from @bennettssandwichshop in Fenway. This is a SMALL. Its huge! Most places this is a large. Ordered online and the sub and drink were waiting when I arrived. My go to when ordering around work. Only criticism is too much lettuce.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you build a sub. The concept couldn't be simpler, fresh ingredients meets great bread. Well....easier said than done. Seldom do I find a place where the two click. Bennett's sits in one of my favorite dining areas in the city. Peterborough is never short of options. Similar in setup to it's numerous neighbors, seating is available both inside and out, but limited during the colder months. Well that's unless you are feeling brave or crazy...your pick. As far as subs go, this is the jackpot. The freshness of the ingredients come through in the very first bite to the very last, but what separates Bennett's from any other place In recent memory is the bread. Soft would be an understatement. I'm pretty sure if I gathered a enough loafs, I'd be able to stuff a pillow case and make myself a top of the line tempura pedic memory foam pillow! Or I can stuff my face for a few weeks. Either way, win. The so called famous steak and cheese is absolutely delicious, but this is the best Italian sub in the city, period. Yes....better than Monica's. How long have these guys been around?! We have a lot of catching up to do. Bennett's is officially crowned my new favorite sandwich shop.

Customer service was pleasant but did not get our order correct. Our sandwich came quick, roll was fresh and flavorful however meat was sparse and was lettuce was disgusting . We won't be rushing back here.

Yes! I had such a good sub from here. I got a turkey sandwich and it was delicious. Why is the bread so good?? I need to know where they get it!! The cashiers were so nice and it was more of a take out vibe but you could totally eat in.

Worst steak and cheese sandwich ever and eat many at other sandwich shops. Steak low grade like horse meat... way other grilled. No flavor at all Salt, pepper,spices may have helped the horse meat....roll spongy and too doughy ... overall awful... minimal amount on ions, peppers, mushrooms...I blame myself as said famous steak and cheese; how bad can the other ones be? They charged me $14.01 for this wasted eat... I hope I am not sick later.

I've been going to Bennett's for many years and it is easily the best cheesesteak in the city. There's 3 things that really do it for me here: the bread is fresh and soft like it's baked fresh daily, I don't know if they bake it in-house, but it's amazing. The quality of the meat is superb and that is a necessary when you're dealing with cheesesteak. This is as good at Pats or Gino's. And 3rd is the chipotle aioli which I need to have on every sub. I don't know how they make it and I've tried to replicate it at home, but never can. This place is a franchise, although each location is family owned and run. This location in particular is extremely well run by the owner and his family. There are several places to get a cheesesteak in this city, but after trying them all, I come back time and time again to Bennett's and will continue to regularly to get my cheesesteak fix coupled with their great service.

Best steak and cheese I've ever eaten. My favorite goto after every mountain bike ride. I see Jesus after the first bite.

Pretty average sandwich shop and I'm not entirely sure why they are getting rave reviews. Maybe their warm sandwiches are much better? I got the chicken salad sub and the boyfriend got the chicken steak sandwich. Pros: the staff are really nice and friendly. The chicken salad sub was also packed with filling that was mostly chicken. A large variety of choices. The serving sized are fairly generous (although you're paying for it, with the sandwiches coming in at about $8-10) Cons: the bread is kind of bland, and the taste of the chicken salad was just okay. I guess I was expecting some sort of gourmet sandwich shop with mind blowing flavors, but it's kind of just an overpriced sandwich shop with decent reliable food. Overall, kind of disappointing, although it adds a nice variety to the options on Peterborough St.

I gave Bennett's a try for delivery via Door Dash. I ordered the steak melt with extra meat. The sandwich was good and warm though the bread was wet and soft by the time it arrived. I made the mistake of assuming the melt would come in a pressed sub/baguette type of bread like in a cheeseteak/Cuban and not your typical sliced sandwich bread. Next time I would order something else for delivery unless I happen to be in the area and can eat a fresh sandwich.
