Layla's American Tavern

One of the best spicy chicken sandwiches I ever had. Absolutely delicious!! The espresso martini was good too. However, the service was severely lacking. It took 15 min plus for beer to come to the table every time. Same with everything else, including paying.

Brunch was REALLY good!! Would definitely recommend the pancakes. The interior is cozy, but gives more pubs vibes than brunch that I expected. Still cute though! Service was good.

Amazing food, service, vibe! Great place to watch a game and hang out with friends! Very good food and apps will definitely be back !

I love quesadillas and eat some whenever they are available on the menu. Of all the quesadillas that I have eaten over the years and in various cities, these were the absolute best! They were flavorful, crispy, and just plain delightful.

Great atmosphere! This is what drew us in. Somehow I ordered fried chicken and waffle. This dish has no flavor or plain flavor. I tried my husband’s dish, fish and chips. Also light flavor. Quality is good but somehow the flavor is light. I had to order a sauce on the side.

Amazing food and atmosphere. Our server, Emily, was very attentive and made the experience amazing. I had fish tacos and my family members had fish and chips (not pictured) and steak tips. We also tried both desserts. Everything was great.

Went Saturday for brunch restaurant was not full. Food was good the caprese sandwich did not have tomatoes it was melted cheese with pesto and a tomato spread. It was mostly bread. The appetizers and rest of food was good the drinks were also good. Southie Boston area. Clean and nice bar with multiple TVs. Should be a great place to watch sports.

Fantastic brunch! Layla’s has a wide variety of options for food and I left with plenty of leftovers. Favorite items were definitely the Cinnabon Pancakes—they were extremely thick and fluffy. Great texture and not too sweet. The burger (royale) was also just an excellent burger with good sauce. The only thing that I’m not sure I would order again was the brunch bowl. The eggs came over medium so the yolk wasn’t oozing over the rest of the bowl. Also, the portions of each item felt a little off. It definitely could have used more Brussels sprouts and bacon, but there were a lot of the breakfast potatoes. It was still great, just a little disappointing compared to the rest of the amazing food. I would love to come back here to try even more food!

So tasty. Went for brunch and was not disappointed! I had the chicken and waffles and thoroughly enjoyed every last bite

I'm surprised this isn't a more popular brunch spot! I went at 1045am on a Saturday and there was so much seating available. The brunch portions were each and each dish was thoughtfully plated. I got the Cinnabon waffles and I loved the presentation. The dish was delicious as well, I was only able to finish half of it but I enjoyed every bite! Our server was very nice also.

Horrible service. Okay pub food but the experience wasn't worth the effort to get there. The servers echoed my trip to them. Not worth the trouble to get there and the service replicates

This is one of my favorite places in South Boston. The food is outstanding! There is plenty of seating: Bar, Booths & high top tables. Beautifully decorated & very clean. The staff are always happy & helpful. We tried the truffle fries...yum! TV's Galore! Highly recommend. No parking lot but found a non resident parking space on Broadway. Easily accessible by the T.

Preface this with we miss Shenanigan's. The food is actually really good. Would recommend to go for a game, bite and drink. I have taken multiple out of towners and it's never fails.

I have been here 3-4 times before but haven't left a review. It's a nice place with friendly staff and most importantly really great food! Having sampled quite a bit of the menu, I (nor the folks I have been with) have had anything but an awesome meal and good time! Lot's of television for those who want to enjoy watching a game.

Been to this place a few times and have visited other restaurants owned by the same company. Always a great and reliable experience! Food is consistently tasty. Service is good. A nice atmosphere for a sports bar but also a cute, fun, spot for a dinner out. I recommend the buffalo chicken dip, nachos, or the buffalo ceasar wrap, my go-tos!

Unfortunately, I had a terrible experience at Laylas yesterday. I booked a reservation for 9:45pm for Saturday, 3 days in advance on OpenTable. I confirmed the reservation Friday via text. Additionally, I got a text at 9:45pm Saturday saying "please reply if you are on your way." I responded immediately. At 9:52 we arrived. The outside bouncer told us there were no reservations and the kitchen was closing at 10. We explained that is fine, we will just have drinks (The bar closes at 1am). He said no, and went to get a manager. The manager came out and was extremely rude, disrespectful, and raised his voice at us. He said the kitchen is closed, and we were way too late for our reservation. Again, we arrived at 9:52 and let the restaurant know via text we were on the way. He said to us "don't pretend we are in the wrong here". I showed the reservation on our phone and how we confirmed with the restaurant twice - but we were still told we were wrong. It was clear the restaurant mistakenly took our reservation via OpenTable. They had 3 days to cancel - but did not. The fact that they blamed US for their mistake is beyond me. I have never been so disrespected and belittled by a manager before.

Nice big bar, the foods not amazing but. I thing to complain about, and the bar tenders (especially Molly) have always been super friendly.

Fantastic food, fun atmosphere and great drinks. Been 3+ times since it opened and everytime was great. Nachos are incredible, buff chick dip 10/10, turkey burger blew my mind and steak salad had perfect cook and tender as hell. Great spot to hangout with friends or watch a game knocking back a few beers (solid draft list) or cocktails. Servers have been friendly and attentive each time. No complaints, new favorite spot in southie

Food was not cooked to my liking asked twice and it was not as tasty as it used to be. Service was tentative & done ok this round. Ambiance the place is phenomenal and amazing. I do recommend everyone should give this a try.

Food was so delicious! My two friends and I all loved what we got. I got the burrata pasta and it was unreal!

Too noisy, likely due to a match being on, which wasn't a big deal. However, the waiting time was unacceptable. Our drinks arrived half an hour later, and our food took an entire hour to be served. We ordered steak tips and steak fajitas, requesting them to be cooked medium well. Despite the long wait, the food was undercooked. If there's a staff shortage, the restaurant should limit the number of customers it accepts.

gross establishment . Customer service was awful and the bar manager was not friendly, wish I knew this before coming to lunch with my mother

Asked for 2 drinks. Charged me for 2 spilled one completely over. When we complained about it we got kicked out. Don't go here.

Horrible I ordered a well done burger it came rare waited 30 min for them to fix the mistake a hour total just for the rest of my food to be cold. What a joke! The managers are horrible and couldn't take accountability.

Awesome service, great drinks. Server was incredibly attentive and helpful! Also super fun atmosphere.

Korean fried tenders and short rib quesadillas are pretty good. The drinks are good but place gets packed

The manager was so kind enough to accommodate our large party on short notice. The wait staff was excellent, food delicious with great variety, and fun ambiance!! Great new addition to southie.

A nice rebuild of the old Shenanigans spot. The food is fresh and the staff accommodating. Some shared items are a little portion controlled for Southie, but the whole atmosphere is pleasant and well-managed. It is corporate, so it isn't cheap eats, even for lunch, but the food comes out looking nice. Some other restauranteurs in the area should come and see how it is done. It will be loud on the weekend nights, we prefer a Thursday night.

The food was DELICIOUS, the drink selection is creative and inclusive of all palates, and our experience with their customer service was foar and away the best I've ever experienced. We ordered a kid's meal and they forgot the toast. Not only did they comp the kid's meal, they offered dessert and apologized with several layers of staff. I will be a return customer to this amazing establishment and I'm not even local.
