"Moonshine 152 has a luxe burger ($27) that changes monthly, but it’s always a hit. Not into the monthly special? There’s also a grass-fed burger ($22) with sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and aioli, served with shoestring fries. Insider tip: Try the slam-dunk vegetarian version of the burger made with mushrooms and tofu, or it can be made vegan upon request." - Erika Adams
"Since you’re definitely ordering chef Asia Mei’s buttermilk-fried chicken wings, the real question is: Regular or grande sized? Luckily, both portions pack that magic combination of salty and savory with a crunch. The creamy-with-a-kick poblano ranch dipping sauce provides a cooling contrast to the fresh-from-the-fryer wings. Go all-in on the comfort food vibes by ordering up party tots that are tossed with kimchi butter, sweet chili, and truffled teriyaki sauce." - Erika Adams
"Moonshine 152 sits on the very outer edge of Southie, just a block from the train tracks and highway overpasses that make the South End feel several dystopian miles away. But we’re sort of glad that this part of Southie isn’t the most walkable, because if it were, Moonshine 152 would always be packed. The menu here is vaguely based on Asian street food, but you’ll also find things like spicy lamb meatballs, fried chicken and waffles, and dirty rice with ginger, sausage, and duck liver that we think about ordering every time we come. It’s a small, casual place with good cocktails, and if you live nearby, you should be in here a couple of times a month." - dan secatore
"The tropical mango pavlova at this favorite Southie spot brings on the summertime vibes. Dig into layers of merengue cookies with whipped cream, coconut jellies, mango coulis, and berry sauce that’s like a burst of sunshine. The sweet is gluten-free and available vegan, too." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams
"One of my frontrunners was Moonshine 152; I can’t get enough of chef Asia Mei’s fun comfort-food twists and the restaurant’s wonderful hospitality." - Erika Adams
