Silvertone Bar & Grill

A great place for a lunch. We both had the Dave's Chicken Sandwich, which was delicious. Our waitress was lovely. I only gave a 4 fir atmosphere as there was a group of noisy people at one of the other tables and it was a bit dark.

Nicest staff ever! They made our visit so enjoyable. Loved the chicken pie; delicious flaky crust. And the meatloaf was delicious too. Recommend!

This restaurant provides a cozy place to enjoy some good food at a reasonable price. Having quite an appetite, we ordered 3 appetizers including a taco special followed by an entree each. Surprisingly the appetizers and tacos were unimpressive while the entrees amazed. I highly recommend the steak tips which were flavorful and cooked to perfection.

This was recommended to us as a pre theatre bite. Food was awful, server was totally bland, my meal was wrong and she made no effort to offer to correct it, she looked afraid or irritated that I said it was wrong. There were 5 of us so with drinks, apps and dinner, it was a few hundred dollars. So disappointing, I never write reviews but I would like to save someone else the bad experience.

Had a short trip to Boston from Chicago, found Silvertone and had a great time, great food and great drinks. It’s a hidden Gem, I would recommend stopping in whenever you get a chance!

Best buffalo wings I've ever had. The place in Newton is over hyped

The service was terrible and the food was awful. The pictures on the website are NOT the food they serve. I got a salad and there was nothing in it. Just mixed greens, not even a tomato. I added steak tips, they asked me how I wanted them cooked, I said medium rare, they came out so well done I would’ve rather had a leather belt in my food.

Cool place, nice location. Minute or two walking from the Quincy Market area so it's close but not crowded. Service was good. Food was pretty good. I had cajun salmon and felt it was a little bit lacking in flavor. Not a big deal though. And my wife loved her shepard's pie. Would definitely go again if I'm in the area.

Josh (the owner) is one of the nicest guys! Food is always superb, amazing wine list and service is always on point! Highly recommended!!!!!

True Score: 4.5 Stars Outrageous Specialty Drinks This place is one of the great spots in Boston. It's got a really great feel to it, AMAZING food, and what is most intriguing about it is that it is literally underground. They even have rooms for large parties. What a place I was blown away by it, I did not expect it to be so awesome. Highly recommend the burger and the mac and cheese, but I have heard that the steak tips are large portions and to die for. Will be back sometime to try. Tip: Get the Bangarang, delicious specialty drink. A very very underrated spot in Boston, a must try. Thanks

The jerk chicken dish tasted like a home cooked meal and I really liked the plantains with the chicken and pilaf. Lots of comfort food options here. The drinks were better than I expected, and I really enjoyed the bangarang cuz it reminded me of POG juice from Hawaii with the passionfruit. Ambiance was divey but homey in the basement. The reason this is 3 stars is because the service was not attentive or timely. It took a very long time to get our drinks from start to finish. When the food arrived, they forgot to give us cutlery, so I asked them to pls bring some for us. I don't like eating cold food and neither did the rest of the table, but we waited 10 mins. I got up and asked him to pls bring us cutlery again. Took 5 more mins. It wasn't busy, so I'm not sure if they were having an off day, but that plus a lag on getting the bill did make us a bit late to our show, and that annoyed me. Would consider returning here for late night eats when I'm downtown and not pressed for time.

Friendly staff, quick service, tv showing the playoff game, privacy in booths, tasty food! Almost passed it, but found the entrance and walked to the restaurant downstairs. Empty when we got there, but started filling up as dinner hours progressed.

Great bar for late night takeout. I've only ever ordered their chicken sandwich grilled, and it's my go-to when in the area and having late night cravings. Service is always great, and it is a little dive-y.

The food was yummy. The lighting made two of us a little uneasy but we improvised. I wish they gave me 4 steaks but other than that I had a good time. And the dressing they comes on the greek salad is yummy.

It's a shame they closed! Honest service, nice ambiance, tasty steak tips. Loved the basement location.

Its was impressively crowded for a Wednesday night. we found the last 2 person table. The bartender came to greet us immediately. They were obviously moving as fast as they could and maybe a little understaffed for having a fast growing wait list. Mixed drinks were great. i would have been much much happier if the had a non-ambev beer list. they had fiddlehead on tap, which is appreciated, but per most boston establishments, they had a terrible local craft beer tap and can list. Fried chicken sandwich was great. Service, great. prices..great.

Great service, great atmosphere/ambiance. Traveling in Boston and wanting an authentic experience this place delivered. Comedy show going on in the back room too. The fried chicken and bacon sandwich was great. Highly recommend everyone check it out. Affordable and tasty.

Ended up here on accident and so glad I decided to drop in. I was greeted at the door by Dave and immediately sat. This place has such a cool vibe and awesome staff. Dave was fun to chat with and made sure I was quickly taken care of.I was looking for a late night bite after a long day of work travel , this place looked cool enough so I dropped in. I was expecting regular bar food but was blown away with how good/fresh the food was! I had the Dave's chicken sandwich and it was so crispy and made fresh to order. Their cocktails are all made with in-house syrups as well and they have comedy on weekends

Man, after cruisin' on the trolley tour, we stumbled upon this funky joint down a side street, man. The ratings seemed legit, so we were like, "Let's give it a shot, man." It was like a ghost town when we rolled in, so no waitin' around. Initially, they were outta the brew we were jonesin' for, but the dude went on this epic quest and scored a couple of cans from a secret stash in the back, man. The Buffalo wings were on point, cooked just right, but they had this breading deal goin' on. Totally spaced on askin', man. The meatballs, though, they were the bomb! No doubt about it, excellent stuff. And the steak bomb sandwich, man, it hit the spot. Solid flavors and all that jazz. Gotta give props to the service, too. They were totally on it, man. If you're lookin' for a quick lunch fix, this joint is where it's at, man. Highly recommend it, dude!

Perfect hang out spot! Great ambiance and wings! I asked for ranch with my wings and in that moment everyone knew I was a foreigner. The steak tips were pretty good as well. The playlist was great as well.

Best POUTINE in Massachusetts! Authentic French Canadian gravy, hand cut fries and perfect cheese curds. This is how poutine is done properly, NOT with all the crazy toppings, wrong gravy and wrong cheese. So many restaurants attempt to make authentic French Canadian poutine, and fail miserably. I've tried so many different places, as I am from Quebec and sometimes get cravings for a taste of home. This is by far the best poutine in the city! Every bite brings me back to my hometown. Thanks Dave (French Canadian, owner) & the staff at Silvertone for taking so long to perfect your poutine and putting it on your menu! I'll be back with friends to show them what a real poutine looks and tastes like!!! I just had it yesterday, and want more today!!

My friends and I went earlier tonight, and it was a disaster from the start. Firstly, the photos on the internet are a total catfish of the actual vibe of the place. This is not a nice restaurant. Our server kept forgetting our order and brought out the wrong food multiple times. He did remove some of the food and drink charges, which would've compensated for the issues almost fully, but this next point was the kicker. We notified our server of our friend's severe food allergies and ensured that the thing he ordered did not have his allergens. I'm writing this from a hospital ER, where he had to get IV meds to combat his anaphylaxis. Be warned.

Came here with a couple coworkers around 8:00. The place looked like it had good food based on the pictures. They have a limited draught and beer money which is alright. We started with a cocktail, similar to an old fashioned, and it was pretty much shaken in those canisters. I thought it was alright but it was definitely different. They have a nice happy hour Monday nights. I believe we got half priced apps with a purchase of a cocktail. I went with the buffalo wings and they're hands down the best wings I had in Boston. The bleu cheese spread is amazing, and they give you plenty of sauce with your wings. My coworkers shared the quesadilla which looked ok, and the fried calamari which looked good. They ended up getting the burger with the bleu cheese spread as well and they said it was amazing. Fries were pretty good as well. Definitely come for the wings and burger!

Terrible food, low grade, below par food. We ordered the fish and chips and it was gross. We also ordered the chicken fried sandwich which was recommended by the waiter and it was inedible. The waiter was nice but we didn't eat the food and left.

Spectacular food. What a gem. So happy to have stumbled upon this place. The buffalo wings might just be the best in the city. Seriously. Entrees coming out of the kitchen all looked and smelled fantastic as well. They make pretty much everything from scratch and you can tell. The staff out front was fantastic too. It was just JJ waiting tables and the bartender working seamlessly in tandem and they were both extremely pleasant and inviting. Place is honestly super. Give it a go.

This place was absolutely an incredible find Christian and Jonny were absolute sweethearts ! They took such great care of us and the food was absolutely amazing and delicious. The chowder was one of the best in the city. Such an underground (literally) and hidden gem of the downtown Boston area. We got a few rounds of apps, calamari, poutine and chowder in addition to a veggie burger a cheese burger and a chicken sandwich! All of the above was absolutely amazing and the sweet potato fries were to die for! Such a great atmosphere and will definitely turn into a regular here at this place!!! 2000000/10 recommend to anyone looking for a killer deal on a beer and a shot( their so called happy meal ... $13) and a really good bite to eat with great company!

I often say that you can taste the quality of ingredients used. Unfortunately, stopping in here you could taste the low grade beef they use for their burgers. The wings were really good! The honey flavor was very different and they were crispy. The fries were also very good. They were out of ranch and honey mustard... a few staples for a bar to have.

Had an overall good experience at Silvertone downtown Boston. Service was slow to start but once the waitress came over she was attentive. The drinks were good and reasonably priced and the food was good as well.

Pre covid review: Came here for a few drinks and never waited too long for drinks even though it was really busy. Good whisky selection.

best bar in boston btw.... love christian and johnny and dave and emma. my faves. not from boston but can't wait to come back just for this place!!!!!

I couldn't even get a picture before I dived into our meals! The atmosphere was really cool and they played lots of Beatles music so who can complain! The selection of cocktails was a good amount with each making me question whether I should try one or all. The food menu was a decent size offering typical bar food. The fries were thin and crispy like McDonald's size, the Zackdilla off the appetizer menu was AWESOME. It was a fried chicken quesadilla and the fried chicken was the best I've had in a minute - so Dave's Chicken Sandwich was also a hit with a delicious and spicy chipotle Mayo to add. When you think of appetizer quesadillas sometimes they can be underwhelming and bland but the Zackdilla was just right and grilled to perfection - the pico was also a great addition (but I love cilantro so you'll definitely taste that). Our last dish we tried was the Silvertone Burger and the blue cheese spread was so good we had to get it on the side to dip our fries. As a Western New Yorker I had to ask but for anyone wondering the Rochester sauce was described as a tangy orange flavor - not spicy or like sweet and sour.. hmm I wonder if it's like country sweet or boss sauce? Definitely give this place a visit :)

Silvertone is a cool, retro restaurant (quasi-diner) near Park Street. The food is good and prices are reasonable. They also have a nice drink menu. I ordered the tuna melt (satisfying) and a drink special - the hot spiced cider. It was perfect for this cold, windy day. The decor inside is fun; lots of older (50s?) posters of entertainers. They have lots of space, so it should be good for big groups. Our server was lovely. Overall, we had a good experience.

Great spot for lunch! Staff was fast and meals came out quick. I got the chicken sandwich and it was to delicious. The atmosphere was fun, you can definitely tell it gets fun during the evening!

Food is decent bar food, affordable. I had the fish sandwich which was good but nothing spectacular. Ambiance is that of a basement college bar so set your expectations when you visit.

Dinner on a weeknight, it was rather crowded. We were seated at a two top that was surrounded on three sides by high walls. I was worried that we'd be here and get forgotten by the waiter, but that was unfounded. Service turned out to be quite good. I chose the steak tips and truffle fries (thanks for mentioning them, Tanya Y.!). A very solid portion here. At least 14 ounces of large chunks of steak, cooked to the medium rare that I requested. The fries seemed to be rather ordinary steak fries. If there was any truffle oil on them, I didn't spot it. Maybe you can look at the picture and help? I did get some ketchup for the fries and my table mate had some steak sauce for his steak. Both were in the right branded containers but neither seemed right. Probably just my imagination. Anyway, the meal was good, the service was good and I'd come back to Silvertone.

This bar has great nachos which already set the bar high for me. I mean, the nachos in the center at the bottom were still crunchy for the entire time we ate it. I couldn't finish my meal and neither could my best friend. Our meals were both delicious and they're known for their Mac & cheese which was worth it. Their drinks were good and pretty cute. Mine came with a miniature tiger on it. I'd go again for a late meal but I personally wouldn't go for the bar. It's not bad, it's just not for me. Everyone there seemed to really be enjoying it. I'm not a huge fan of their music selection but they did have a variety of throwback songs that I could chill to. The booth seats in the dining area are slabs of concrete. I'm not kidding. It's hard and there's not room for adjustments. If this bothers you, ask to sit where there's a chair instead of the booths. If you hate stairs, the entrance is down some stairs so baby, you'll have to go back up then if you want to go home. It's not bad though. I don't think they're handicap accessible unless there's a magic elevator I missed. The staff is so useful and know what they're doing. They seemed to have a plan in case anyone was too drunk which I can appreciate. All in all, classic environment and I'm sad I didn't know about it earlier. I probably would've grabbed a meal before I took a trip to the theater to watch a movie.

Silvertone Restaurant: Coolest little place in Downtown Boston We've been going to Silvertone for years because it is downtown Boston's nicest little pub/restaurant. First off, we had missed this place for a while during the pandemic and were so happy that it reopened. Secondly, we are partial to unpretentious places that serve fresh food for modest prices. I would be amiss if I didn't mention their great calamari and robust burger offerings, but we developed a severe addiction to their famous mac & cheese served with fresh greens. The grilled Caprese Chicken sandwich is fulfilling and has a nice flavor. I have the chicken parm a few times, as well as the fish and chips. The food here comes out looking nice and tasting great, but also... Unlike many Boston restaurants, the staff at Silvertone appreciates your business. They are friendly with a bit of good-natured humor, on point with the orders, and make good suggestions. We invite friends from NYC, DC, and London because it has an international feel that is cozy. Writers and artists will LOVE this place!

Silvertone will surprise you. It's one of those weird, divey-looking places. You need to go down the stairs to the restaurant, to a red and dark dining area. Yet, they have pretty good food. At least from what we had. I ordered the burger with blue cheese. For $10, that's a pretty great deal, especially since it came with a side of fries. Of course, it wasn't the best burger I've ever eaten but for the quality I got at the price I paid, I can't really complain. My boyfriend had the Dave's Chicken Sandwich (fried chicken with bacon, American cheese, lettuce and tomato with fries and a side of spicy mayo). He really enjoyed it, and so did I, from the few bites I stole. The chicken was perfectly fried. The spicy mayo was just completed it. On the other hand, cocktails are very meh. They cost more than an entree and don't taste very good. I had the Green Tito (Tito Vodka, ice green tea, ginger syrup, lemon juice). It tasted pretty sugary and didn't seem like there was a whole lot of vodka in there. My boyfriend had the Joey Joe Joe Jr. Shabadoo (Old Overholt Rye, bitters, ginger beer, lemon peel). Everything about this sounded good to us - we love rye, and ginger beer, but it just tasted so wrong. It was undrinkably sweet, and I think they might have added too much bitters as well. I would recommend just coming for the food and skipping the drinks. If you really do have a hankering for something, stick to the wine and beers.

One of the best hidden gem spots in the city. Irreverent, cozy, understated, underground. Mood lighting. What's more to like?

Came here for dinner and arrived later in the evening (like 8 or so). Upon said arrival, I wasn't greeted by anyone for quite some time and by the time the FOH showed up, it took her a very long time to get me a table, even though there were several spots open. The steak mac n' cheese arrived to be piping hot, with the portion decent and the steak was acceptable. The medium steak was fine but not the star of the dish by far. The breadcrumb topping of the mac was crispy and golden brown. The mac inside was creamy and smooth. I dislike a clumpy mac n' cheese that usually reveal a dearth of cheese. The mixed greens gives you a psychological relief that there might be something healthy about this offering. However, the salad was fresh and dressed lightly. Service was efficient and my server was friendly. Prices here are very good for the neighborhood it is in. I don't think I could get a steak mac n' cheese for $15 downtown. I was tempted to give this spot 5 stars but the slow start shot that down.

We had just arrived to our hotel in Boston for a little overnight excursion. We were STARVING by that time so we ventured down the block to Silvertone for a bite to eat. The place is quirky in decor and seems to have a loyal bar crowd. It was open for food at the ungodly hour of 3pm, which was a plus. We were seated in the dining area and were initially the only table occupied. We were provided menus and noticeably absent from said menus was a drink menu. I'm not sure if they don't have one or what but I was forced to order a sparkling wine which I do realize is a strange choice for a place like this. My GF ordered a bloody mary which she enjoyed but was not particularly my bag. The menu has a BUNCH of good options if you're looking to be naughty. I was eyeing the mac and cheese, the grilled cheese, and a bunch of their appetizers. We ultimately settled on the nachos and split a BLT. The nachos were OK. There was melted (real) cheese (should've been more), pickled jalapenos, GUAC (thank god), and salsa. The salsa contained diced tomatoes and ONIONS. You also have the option of adding a meat but we declined. There were also carrots and a sprinkling of cilantro. I've had better nachos. The BLT was pretty good. The bread was super thin which isn't my preference but I guess good for my insulin levels. There was a TON of bacon which is probably a good thing but it overpowered the lettuce/tomato/mayo-y goodness for me. Don't think I didn't finish it, however. The fries that come on the side are amazing. They're thin and crisp and are fireworks with a dab of salt and pepper from the table. The service was standard. I would come back to try some of their other naughty things.

Absolutely love the portion size and price. We got a huge huge steak and pork chop shown in the photo. No complaints. The clam chowder had an interesting citrus spin to it, I didn't hate it but it wasn't best ever, I liked it actually, it's something new, however I wouldn't recommend it if you like the creamy regular chowder taste. The veggie sides and potato / mash potato was alright, it wasn't over the top but wasn't bad either.

We orderd 2 sodas & wing appertiser & asked for Bread. Waitress brought over drinks & ww waited 10 min & had to ask waitress again for bread. Shecame over w bread & oil. Then the Wings came over. I asked for a Spoon to put sauce on wings. I will be right back. We both ate 2 qings before she came back. We had to pour sauce out of dish on to the Wings. I ordered a Cheese Burger Med Rear w Cheese, Pickles, Nothing else , Fries & Coke w 2 Limes. Cheese Burger was far from Med Rare more like Med Well. I do say they got the Fries & Soda was spot on. This waitress didn't pay much attention to our needs from Start to Finish of Meal. We did still leave a 20% tip but its the tip the peabody location will be getting cause were Not Going Back

great evening at the Silvertone! Highly recommend the pretzel app. The short rib poutine is to die for! Silvertone, you do the Quebec poutine proud! The staff is friendly and attentive. Food service is quick and efficient. Beer was ice cold and shaddock cocktail was yummy!

Ordered blackened chicken and it wasn't blackened, not even grill marks. Soda was flat. Wifes steak sandwich wasn't good. Definitely won't be back.

I like this place. service is good, drinks are good and the food is surprisingly solid with fresh greens and a real nice balance of flavors. this is a go-to ...but don't tell anyone :-)

Best dive bar food in Boston. Great service. Great crowd. Close to the Orpheum. All entrées were great.

Great vibe, good music, food was amazing, top notch bartender! Apparently there is live standup on Saturday, will definitely be back. Meatloaf

Solid all round.great drinks and the food is very tasty also ..Dave the owner is really friendly and a great host .also his staff.definitely making silvertone my go to place anytime we're downtown

We asked a sweet lady at the old meeting house if she recommended a lunch spot and she couldn't answer fast enough, go to Silvertone. I'm glad we listened. The food was delicious and super fresh with a fun atmosphere. My husband got the Silvertone burger which he really enjoyed. He said the guac was delicious. My sister in law got the veggie burger and it had actual pieces of veggies in it. She loved it. I was in an adventuresome mood so I got the buffalo chicken finger grilled cheese and it was just what is sounds like and it was gluttonous and delicious. My son got the philly cheese steak and also enjoyed it. The highlight of the lunch though was the sweet potato fries. Yum!

Why in the world did I think Silvertone was closing? Well, anyways, this vague seeming recollection brought this long standing basement bar to mind when I was trying to come up with a spot for us to meet for dinner. Silvertone doesn't take reservations, but we were up for an early dinner on a Friday night leading into a long weekend. There shouldn't be any problems getting in, I thought correctly, as it turns out, though the establishment was far from empty. I scored us a two-person booth and was greeted with water as I awaited my DC. Making small talk with the table beside me, I was directed towards their Steak Tips $15 and Bistro 1/2 Chicken $15, though the mac & cheese ended up beating out the chicken. The steak tips were ordered medium rare, but the chunks ended up ranging in pinkness within, from as ordered to near well done. The tips numbered 5 and came with a nice portion of lumpy garlic mashed with skin, and some fresh greens. We swapped out the mixed greens that come with their Mac & Cheese $11 for Fried Bananas ($5 a la carte) for a dollar change/substitution fee, and added a side of Sweet Potato Fries $4 that arrived in a bowl. The sweet potato fries were pretty good though some were crisp and others not as. The bananas counted 6. They looked a tad pathetic on the plate next to the mac & cheese bowl, but were delicious and worthy of being considered dessert. The mac & cheese was nice and creamy, yet surprisingly not overly creamy for my DC. Two entrees plus an extra side did the two gals in, so we had leftovers enough for a light snack. Note: Credit Cards are accepted with a $10 minimum, and a max of 3 cards per table... this is noted on their menu.

Honestly an a-ok experience. Had a group meal here before the pandemic and they server was very nice. The place had a kinda bleach smell and the food was okay.

Slide on down to Silvertone. Don't be scared descending the dark steps. You only need one tip: Steak Tips. These tender babies are cooked and seasoned to perfection, pal. A $15 tag is well worth the 6 savory chunks cradled by a creamy pile of mashed taters and simple salad on the side just to make the meal feel comfortingly complete. The dark, underground space (and confusing alleyway to the restroom) is reminiscent of the downtown Boston of yesteryear where gangsters and office folks clinked glasses and savored comfort food together. The cocktail list is intriguing and inventive. I went for the Shirley Temple Black, which had a strong rye kick without the cloying taste of grenadine. These guys know balance. And liquor. My cocktail connoisseur comrade vouched for this by ordering an off-menu drink that the bartender executed perfectly. Silvertone is a great escape below the bustling streets of Boston. Just make sure to take my tips and split some steak with Shirley.

Been here twice so far for lunch. Spacious interiors located underground (basement). Burgers and sandwiches are served with crispy french fries. Silvertone Burger - Not a huge fan of burger with guacamole, but without it it's a juicy burger Must Try: Dave's Chicken Sandwich - If you like fried chicken and bacon on top.

Just okay food we only had appetizers not so good . Staff very nice & cordial . Subterranean location so beware of STAIRS !!!!!! Good location near downtown crossing good for walkers but parking a car not so good .

Nice little restaurant and bar in DTX on Bromfield Street. Everything just simply works for this establishment. From the friendly service and the impeccable food to the Weezer and LCD Soundsystem playlist, Silvertone offers the perfect retro bar experience. I ordered the steak tips (medium rare) with truffle fries and it was delicious. The steak tips were well-seasoned, juicy, and tender. Don't even think about ruining it by adding A1. I substituted the mashed potatoes for the truffle fries and they were hot and flawlessly crispy. You're missing out if you haven't been to Silvertone. I highly recommend it and will be back for sure to try the other menu items such as the burgers and mac and cheese.

The truffle fries were the best I've ever had. Full bodied truffle flavor and very crispy. We had the chicken pot pie and the shepherds pie. Both were excellent. Kudos to chef Kareem.
