"Ned Devine’s is the Disneyland version of an Irish bar (especially if Disneyland were filled with drunk kids from the North Shore). It’s over the top and corny, but sometimes over the top and corny can be fun. Go on a weekday afternoon after buying socks at Uniqlo." - Terrence Doyle, Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares

The out side seating area was very accommodating for my group of 8 people, the atmosphere was very nice people around dinning as well but enough distances were we weren't listening to each others conversations. There were musicians station near by playing there music as well so it was a very good vibe. They also had a nice Jumbo screen for sport fans. The food was good, my burger was delicious but the bread underneath did get soggy upon arrival and my bacon was definitely burnt. Other than this it was a good dish. No complaints from any of my party members in regards with there dishes. Nice place overall

Food was delicious, with HUGE portions!! I didn’t even come close to eating all of my meal. Service was excellent and atmosphere was incredible!! I highly enjoyed this place for lunch or dinner.

Seated quickly on a busy Summer Saturday and with a group of 6. Staff was friendly and quick with drink and food orders, and the food was great for everyone in our party. Really could not ask for more on a hot Summer day in the middle of the high summer tourist season in Boston.

Port stop on NCL cruise line and a trip to Quincy Market. Ned’s looked like my kind of place…and I was right!!! Just had a quick cocktail and loved the atmosphere, service and local feel.

For a pricey place downtown at Phanuel Hall, I really wasn't impressed. Cool building and has outdoor seating. Food was ok i guess.

Just sit there for 30 minutes. I tasted lobster chowder soup and grab a beer. Soup was delicious but a bit salty.

Nice sports bar with great fish and chips. Like really good. The rest of the menu is also great. Service was fast and very friendly. Will come again.

Out door dining excellence! The service and atmosphere were incredible. If you can catch it on a sunny day, order the lobster roll and clam chowder. The manager convinced me that bread bowls cover up the soup, so he serves his in a porcelain bowl. It was good fun. The caprice sandwich is equally amazing. Everyone leaves happy!

Stopped by just for a snack in the middle of sightseeing and slight hunger. We read that the chowder won some awards at some point so we stopped by specifically for this. One person in our party ordered the French Onion Soup and said it was really good. It's typically for it to be overly salty but this one was just right. In terms of the clam chowder, it was really, really good! The chunks of clam were substantial. It was creamy but not overly so. There were potatoes but it wasn't just potato! Overall the experience was good and I would come back again. The only slight nit picky thing is that our waitress was literally the energizer bunny. It was a bit over the top. On most days I would say that this is a good thing, but as a waitress, you have to be able to "read the room" and adjust accordingly.

The Arab looking staff remember with the humongous beard was really rude to us and told us to get off of his property as we were standing next to the patio while we're waiting looking at the menu outside. Sitting on a pillar waiting for them to open!! Lovely Boston welcome for ya. Food was basic and overpriced.

We have been to Boston so many times and yet we had never gone to Fanueil Hall and Quincy Market. My cousin suggested we check it out so we did. We decided to have dinner nearby and Ned's was an easy choice since it's connected. We sat outside on a beautiful summer evening. Very casual but enjoyable. We got the Ned burger and classic cheeseburger with fries and beer. So filling!

I came here with my wife during a food tour. The chowder was good but not the best I had while in Boston. There is a great beer selection here and I think this would be a fun spot on a Friday or Saturday night.

Dead with zero people on the dance floor on a Friday night, I counted. Refused to give me a stamp even though my partner who I came in with at the same time got a stamp. The employees have absolutely no idea what's going on because there is zero communication with management. I think they needed the help from literally anybody willing to come here to improve the vibe but you couldn't pay me to come back. They're desperate for girls to come here but treat the girls here like garbage. Also a bar not serving any cocktails on the menu, only beer. ??

There is nothing about this place that is an Irish Pub. The only food they had to pick from was Fish and Chips that was Irish. Their menu was more of just a regular bar with general food items. Do your research before going in if it's an Irish Pub you are looking for.

Stopped in without knowing what to expect. Once we were seated I decided to check Yelp and began to rethink the decision to eat here. I glad we stayed because the food was delicious! Reasonably priced and served piping hot and full of flavor. I'd definitely eat here again!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place, expecting much worst based on yelp reviews; but turned out to exceed expectations. After a long walk, we wanted a sit down restaurant rather than a grab & go from a place inside faneuil hall. We came for lunch and there was plenty of open spots. Service was nice and very quick, and the food wasn't bad at all. I ordered the fish & chips, which was actually just one very large piece of fish, but it was plentiful. Overall I'd say that the prices are a bit higher than they should be, but given the touristy location this ought to be expected. The food won't win a michelin star,but it isn't terrible and fills you up. I'd recommend swing by this place if you want to sit and eat.

We had a great experience. We sat in side at the lower level bar and had a drink and some chicken strips. They were hand breaded, and the honey mustard, the ranch, and the chicken were all delicious.

I was sat at a table by a hostess. I waited 20 minutes to be waited on while the waiter went around waiting on everyone but me. After 20 minutes of waiting I left. They were not even That busy. It was horrible service. I actually timed 20 minutes before I left.

Just stopped in once again to Ned Devines restaurant. I was my with abounding enthusiasm by Pettia. She is so friendly and charming. My bartender was Mitch who served me a Sam Adams red to complement the Sam Adams chicken tenders. I highly recommend this appetizer for all to enjoy!

A decent place to hang out in the Quincy Market / Faneuil Hall area. The food is decent though some elements could use some work. The Kitchen Sink Caesar Salad was flavorful, probably because they put these (ahem!) bacon bits in the salad. The dressing was a bit heavy, and the banana peppers didn't necessarily go with it. The clam chowder was excellent, nice consistency and rich clam flavor. The burger was a bit dry (perhaps should have gone with the medium rare) and could have been more flavorful.

Brandon was our server and he was such a nice gentleman! He was attentive, polite and very helpful as it was our first time here. The ambient was very nice and many people enjoying their night. Thank you Brandon!

Went here for an event and was not super impressed. Large area but food wasn't amazing and the selection of alcohol was also not too great. Suggest trying other spots in the area

As I was walking around the Quincy Market area, I saw the banner for this Irish flavored restaurant so I decided to try this place. As I walked into this restaurant, I noticed the sign to check in with the host, which is near the exterior entrance. I stood there for a few minutes, then I asked the "hostess" who was eating from a carry out container told me to find a seat. Please note, there were few people in the bar area. There's another level of dining on the second floor. The bartender took my order of Fish & Chips and a soda. He placed the soda in front of me and then that's pretty much the last time he interacted with me. He was at the end of his shift so he was preparing the paperwork and just waiting to leave. I've worked in the restaurant industry, so I could tell. Few minutes later, the meal was delivered to me. When the relief bartender, Khalid S, came in, he was gone. Overall, the food was very good. Khalid virtually had no interaction with me. He was pretty to busy wiping his finger nails. I had to ask for the check which I paid right away. Good for the food but not the service.

Great location in Quincy Market. Out visit started with the great host that seated us. The service was great all around. We sat outside in the nice weather. What a nice place to eat in the Quincy Market. They have a great selection of beers. I had the Boston Clam Chowder, which lives up to the reputation. It was delicious. My wife had the Guinness Onion soup, also delicious. Great experience, can't wait to go back.

This review is mainly about the chicken tenders. Now as a father of many children I have tasted Chicken tenders hundreds and hundreds of times!!! These are the best ever. The batter is sort of like a tempura. Served with delicious honey mustard. $15 for a good sized order. Pair them with excellent fries that come with Irish Curry dipping sauce.

Came here on a quick weekend trip to Boston. We were just walking around looking for somewhere to eat and this place looked like it had a lot of good options for two extremely picky eaters. It was lunch time so we both wanted something light but yummy so we went with the chicken ceaser salads which honestly was probably one of the best salads I've ever had. My fiance got the clam chowder which he said was great as well. Couple that with some beers and this was an A+ lunch all around. Also, the place is HUGE. I can imagine this is a fun spot to go to on the weekend nights.

We came into Ned Devine's while we were walking the Freedom Trail to get something to drink and get out of the cold. It is convenient to have a still down bar/restaurant inside Quincy Hall. The staff was friendly and quick to take our order. We did not end up getting food, but had some drinks while we warmed up. I had the Yeti Juice cocktail and it was delicious, but they were out of the Swedish Fish that were supposed to go inside it.

The food was amazing. The service was great our waiter was very nice and did a good job. The ambiance was low and quiet with music in the background.

Not a lot open when we went here. We were helped by the bartender because we sat upstairs and he was super cool. The clam chowder was pretty so-so. Nothing special and we were really hoping that the clam chowder in Boston would be exceptional. The fish and chips weren't really that tasty. Not sure if they were missing some salt or were just a little too greasy, but they weren't that great. Pretty much same with the burger. It was pretty generic. The fries were also not really seasoned, so they were just basic potatoes. My wife got a crazy blue drink, but it wasn't that good either. Again, not terrible food, just really generic.

Yelp
The bouncer made inappropriate remarks to two female members of our party, which was a bad first impression and a weird start to an otherwise fun time. I can't speak to the food, as I was there during the bar/club part of the night. That said, the establishment is spacious and clean, and the service was great.

Mexican Street Corn Dip 10/10 KFC Burger was a 6/10 Ned's Burger 10/10 Limited on the beer menu but offered full liquor bar.

This place is the definition of a tourist trap. We came here because supposedly they have award winning chowder. If the award is in comparison to Progresso, I agree. Otherwise, the only thing going for it was the abundance of clams. It's too thick and doesn't have any distinct flavor. Where's the pepper... where's the sherry? I also ordered the KFC ("Killer Fried" if I recall correctly) chicken sandwich. It was supposed to have a spicy slaw on top. It had no spice. The sandwich was incredibly mild in my opinion. It was also over cooked. The meat was tough. The fries were completely unseasoned. No salt, nothing. I looooove fries. They're almost always the first thing I finished. I left the majority of these on the plate. As for the staff, the 3 hostesses we encountered were friendly on our way in, as was our server. On the way out, not one person thanked us for dining with them, said goodbye, or any other pleasantry you typically hear upon leaving. The bill came to $56 (pre-tip) and I wish I had spent it elsewhere. This place is all around disappointing.

Stopped in here for drinks. I have to say the bartender downstairs was completely rude and off-putting. Continued up stairs and it was like night and day. Service upstairs was great. They had a derby party going on in main rooms so it was alot of nicely dressed people enjoying themselves. Accompanied by miss Massachusetts.. good to see during visit

Yelp
Damn some of these reviews are brutal, not sure if it's a hit and miss type of thing but our food and wait staff we're on point. After being extremely disappointed at the Boston Chowda, I decided to give Ned's Award winning clam chowder a shot. Checkout the picture I took, this soup lives up to the hype. Nice and creamy loaded with chunks of potatoes, great bold flavor. This bowl of clam chowder made the trip worth it because like others have said the FANEUIL HALL FOOD COURT IS A TOURIST TRAP. Mmmac N' Cheese was subpar to say the least, who serves Luke warm m&c??? Anyways we also ordered the Mexican Street Corn Dip, major success here as well. Order it as well you won't regret it!

If you are looking for an Irish Pub in Boston's North End, this is NOT the place to go. I went looking for Irish pub food and a pint of Guinness. The menu has NO Irish food on it and when I inquired of the gal behind the bar if the posted menu was all they had and that there's no Irish food on it, she says "well there's fish and chips." Uh that's English, not Irish. So I passed. I found a fantastic one about 5 minutes walk away. The Black Rose. Go there. Definitely go thwre.

We loved it here; ladies night was very successful! The music was a vibe , the food was amazing and the drinks were on point. It was kinda like karaoke but in a group setting because you know COVID Dennis or Denise and the other young lady were wicked nice, it was like a breathe of fresh air! We'll definitely be back but on a nicer day. But the place is super cute! Items we purchased: - nachos with the chicken ( you don't really need the chicken and the salsa is a bit spicy ) - buffalo chicken mac n cheese - fry board - fish and chips - tacos - burger ( not sure which one ) - buffalo wings w. ranch - pitcher of papaya and mango margs , lime marg , hennessy mango marg , several rounds of green tea shots

Went for a drink & bite to eat on Sat 6th May. We waited 10 mins to get served, which was frustrating, but since we had a table we decide to eat. My wife's meal came (without any cutlery) 25 minutes before mine. When I made the point that we would have preferred to eat together, all we got was 'sorry'. The 'manager' who was sitting watching his staff run around like headless chickens, did nothing, except reject people coming in with food from other outlets & he actually cleared two tables after customers came in & walked straight out because of the state of the tables. To add insult to injury, my bill was $83 and the cheeky b****** has now added 10% service charge on Tues 9th May without my consent, since I signed the bill with no tip. I intend to sue when I get home.

Friday night the DJ did not accept requests. Strike 1. Strike 2: the bartender charged us $94 for 6 shots, then 15 min later charged us $74 for the same exact 6 shots. Never produced a receipt for the first batch. Sketchy

Definitely decent for a " Tourist Trap" at Quincy Market. The servings are very generous and the " Clam Chowder " is Fk " N AMAZING! Definitely one of the BEST I've tasted from my Travels. The service I is very attentive and ambience is very mellow.Nothing negative to say above this place.

We went here yesterday to watch some football. I did call ahead a few hours before. They sat us at a tabletop central to all the TVs. Food was great, we were not rushed out. Great experience and wonderful place to watch sports. Staff was too notch and super nice!

We went her for a late lunch and everything was out standing!! The food was excellent!! Ned Burger and the fish and chips were perfect! Bravo to our waitress Arianna !! It was clean and enjoyable ! The whole time we were there a kind gentleman who I'm assuming was the manager was working with everyone clearing tables and helping out. Now that is what I call great teamwork !! Overall excellent experience Also this is my 5 th time coming here and ever time we have NEVER been disappointed! Thank you can't wait for our next visit!!

Cool spot along Quincy market with nice outdoor seating! Grabbed a glass of wine here which was nice to people watch the area.

Loved the fish and chips and Guinness onion soup! The staff was friendly and helpful despite working outside during an excruciating heat wave. Very attentive and my food was brought out quickly.

Let's get one thing out of the way. Ned Devine's Irish Pub is about as Irish as your friendly neighborhood Applebees. If you're looking for corned beef and cabbage and whatever else, then it's not going to be here. On the other hand, the food is okay and brought to your table relatively quickly. It's a high-volume place in a touristy area of Boston.

Solid Eats, Needs Work on Service Had a satisfying meal at Ned Devine's Irish Pub in Boston, with the clam chowder and panini really standing out. However, service left a lot to be desired. Waiting for 30-45 minutes just to get the bill was a disappointment, and our waitress seemed to be MIA most of the time. Strangely, we saw the manager more often than her. While the food won us over, the pub needs to sharpen up their service game.

Staff is so rude. We were looking for a table for 6 and they had so many free tables but they decided to let us the table on the sun and when we asked for un umbrella they said "no". We had 2 little kids. I don't recommend this place

This is a nice spot to come while your in Quincy market area. We stopped for lunch here and everything was good. We also came back for drinks one night because we couldn't find any other bar and it actually surprised use. The drinks were good and the bartenders were nice.

I had an Irish coffee. It came with sugar on top of the whipped cream and it is strong and delicious!

For being St. Patrick's Day weekend I would've figured it would've been better staffed. From the moment I walked into the establishment the hostess was fraternizing with other people and completely ignored us as we asked repeatedly for a table to sit down and eat. She explain to us that it is first come first serve grab a table of her own and someone would eventually service. We waited for over 40 minutes and we never even received our menu. I had to ask for the manager because there was no one available to even take our order and we were treated with major attitude considering that we traveled to Boston from Miami and to have a good time. The manager did go above and beyond to help us we were taken care of by her therefore the service from the manager of the establishment was great the food was OK overall I would have to say it was an OK experience not something I would say that is a must do in Boston

Such a part of history. Go upstairs in the market to see this and have a drink! Highly recommend this place for a Boston experience. Great staff, the space has character and history!

The service is awful here The food is good. But, you have to ask your server for everything from refills on water to clear the plates. This is the worst service we've ever had and I was in the industry for 10+ years. The managers here have no clue what's going on. Everyone is standing around talking instead of taking care of the guests. The manager had no idea that lemonades are a free refill. This was horrible horrible service We had to ask for something to be done

Janet W.

Yelp
Starting with positives...great location, people were friendly, atmosphere was good. We ordered the chowder because it was advertised as award winning. It was the worst clam chowder we have Ever eaten. I didn't have a single clam, only potatoes and flavorless soup. It was expensive for a very small cup portion and we left one entire cup unfinished and the waitress didn't question whether we liked it or not. We won't go back because of this

Benjamin D.

Yelp
The food is great great recommendations by the manager and senior staff. Unfortunately it being busy on Saint Patrick's day weekend weekend the pub crawls going on them being short staffed and short staffed and some of the staff that they had there was very dismissive unhelpful and and just quite frankly did not care about the patrons not knowing where to go to sit down to have a meal. Management did the best they could to remedy the situation once we brought it to their attention and asked to speasked to speak to them once we felt dismissed. We sat at a table for 45 minutes waiting for someone to come help us apparently we were supposed to order our meals at the bar and pick up the meals at the bar. This is just quite frankly unacceptable so we went to the front and asked a front hostess that indicated and directed us to the back part of the bar to choose a table 1st come 1st serve. Security guard at the main stairs was quite rude was quite rude when we tried to ask him For help as well he was quite dismissive and in a bad mood just pointed in another direction did not even give us a verbal response. Overall I give this place 3 stars because the food was good drinks were not overpriced and management tried their best to remedy the situation once we brought this to their attention and explained to them how thow distasteful this was.
