Top 11 Boston Eateries From 'Diners, Drive-Ins, And Dives'
The Boston area is known for some eclectic fine dining, from Menton's small plates, to the award-winning excellence at O Ya (which the New York Times named the best restaurant outside New York), but it's not all about fine, waterfront dining. Sometimes you're just in the mood to eat some thick, creamy New England clam chowder from a greasy-spoon diner.[slideshow:
We dug deep and found the best casual eateries and comfort food-havens in Boston, Cambridge, Peabody and other surrounding towns, as featured on Guy Fieri's Food Network show: "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives." On the show, fiery chef, Guy Fieri visits casual eateries and samples some of the best dishes these diners, drive-in's, and dives have to offer.
From lobster ravioli the size of your fist at Rino's Place, to a meaty and melty pastrami sandwich at Sam La Grassa's and to a little burger joint where the long list of burger specials are all named after celebrities, we've got you covered in Beantown. Guy has really uncovered some of the best high-calorie dishes at the homiest dives in Boston, with diner-worthy prices that range from a $7 pastrami sandwich to a $16 poblano food.
