The Full Review
Tasty Burger is a Boston institution, and the Fenway location is the original. It's walking distance from campus if you're up for a stroll, and absolutely worth the trip for the burgers.
The Big Tasty is the move - a well-constructed burger with fresh ingredients that doesn't try to be fancy, just tries to be good. And it succeeds. The cheese fries are the ideal companion.
The vibe inside is classic burger joint - pool tables, neon signs, usually some Red Sox game on TV. On game days it gets PACKED with Fenway overflow, so plan accordingly.
Pro tip: The Oreo frappe is legitimately excellent. Get one to end the meal - it's thick, creamy, and basically a milkshake.
Late night hours (until 2am) make this a solid option when you want something more substantial than pizza. The pool tables add a fun element if you're hanging with friends.
