Silvertone Bar & Grill

The best wings and best mac & cheese that I have ever hada. The buffalo wings have this sauce that when they bring over the plate if you take a quick whiff it will make you gasp a little but in a very good way. Really really great! Mac & Cheese can't be beat just perfection more

I know exactly what I want when I arrive at silvertones…meat, mashed potatoes, fresh salad, lots of wine, and the fantastic waiter with black framed glasses. I usually go here with my lady friends so we can unwind and recharge for the weekend. We haven’t had to wait long for a table and once an order is in it arrives promptly. The booths have tall backs, which create some privacy for impolite conversations or snuggling with your honeybun, but like I said…I come here with my lady friends. Bottles of wine are affordable and delicious. I also recommend the macaroni and cheese. Pros: friendly staff Cons: no sweets more

I used to come to Silvertone's all the time when I lived in Beacon Hill. It's a little hard to find at first, since it's in the basement. When you do discover it, you realize how much you like the cocktails and the food. It's not fancy but consistent and a good way to get something in your stomach especially when you are bar hopping on a weekend or even after work. Location cant be beat. My only complaint is that it can and does get quite loud and the waitstaff are ofter stretched thin when they get full. Which is often! Pros: Great drinks and food Cons: hard to find, loud, busy more

Don't let the renovated basement vibe at Silvertone fool you, this is one Boston spot that can't be missed. This isn't the kind of restaurant where you need your iPhone to decipher ingredients: the menu boasts a super creamy mac and cheese, a roast chicken better than your mom's, and steak tips that garnered awards from local pubs for the last umpteen years. It's crowded and a little cramped, but the food and cocktails are totally worth rubbing elbows with your new neighbors. The wine list starts at just $6, and many bottles have very little mark up over retail. Pros: Infamous steak tips and other down home dishes Cons: Long waits and crowded tables more

I have become a regular at Silvertone. As someone who works in downtown Boston, I am always looking for a good lunch spot. Their food is delicious, affordable, and they have a great bar selection. Service is spot-on and consistent, and it is fun whether you go on a weekday for lunch, or on a Saturday night for drinks with friends. more

Silvertone is a great place to eat if looking for good prices. Drinks are very affordable as well. The third time I went in, the bartenders knew my name and drink of choice. Very cool place in the financial district. Pros: Prices more

This place is a good after work date place. The prices are good for comfort food, although I would say the the menu is pretty small. The ambiance is nice. There is usually a long wait for a table on a Thur. or Fri. night.\r more

The place is Under Ground - Hence, no windows. Typical Pub Fare, Dark. Service is okay. Prices are good. Locate is okay, Downtown but not in the most ""happening"" area of downtown Boston. Close to the ""T"". Pros: Price, ""T"" accessible, downtown good 4 meeting friends who work in Boston Cons: Dark, No Windows, Typical Menu more

This is a tiny, basement bar with a large after-work crowd near Park St. The rasberry-infused vodka martini was awesome! Bar food was good but no... more

I thought the place was So So. Very small (bathroom is the size of a refrigerator), very dark, long wait to be seated and very crowded on a thursday night. Definitly NOT the place to go in party more then 4. Some what difficult to get a drink order when the bar area is jam packed with thirsty happy hour goers and people dining at the bar. The service was nothing to brag or write home about. I ordered the 1/2 chicken with fries and a salad. I am a huge chicken fan and felt that it was slightly over cooked. Waaay to much work for a meesly peice of chicken. The 2 best qualities are the speed in which they deliver there food and the slightly below average prices. Will I go again? Depends what friend will drag me there, but possibly for a beer!!! Pros: Speed and Prices Cons: Crowded, loud and not for a large party more

being a new res to boston i wanted to try some local area places to eat. After doing a little research online I found this little gem. Its the perfect place for anyone esp. college goers. Good prices with great food. that can be a hard find in bean town. I had the tips, amazing mashed potatoes. ask for tips med rare, no more. the chilli was some of the best I've ever had. I loved the music too, i always wanted to try swing dancin. But this hip little area is def gonna be my new fav lil place. more

I've been there three times for dinner and was always very satisfied with the food and service, not to mention unbeatable prices. The $10 steak tips comes with a generous salad, porkchops were heavenly, and the fish special I had the last time was very good. Steak tips tends to be on the dry side, though, maybe ask for 'rare' to compensate. Always had a professional waiter, never had or witnessed any attitude or drama. My only regret is that they don' t have dessert - not even ice cream. My hope is that one day they will, and the meal will be perfect. I am definitely looking forward to the next meal at Silvertone. Pros: Food, drinks, decor, prices!! Cons: Can be loud more

I would have expected the elitist attitude of Silvertone's hostess ""Mo"" to come from an exclusive, upscale restaurant in New York City, NOT from a place like Silvertone's. She was on some sort of high and mighty kick. We were a party of three, with two more joining us for drinks later in the evening. I put in our name for a table of three and was told the wait was an hour. So at that point I told her, make it for five- by the time we sit the other two would join us. Well 45 minutes later she tells us our table is ready and is everyone in our party here. Well, we were still waiting on two. So she refused to seat us at a table for five and instead sat a couple at a large table. What I didn't enjoy was her snobby response to me: ""You've been going back and forth with this 3-5-3-5 business, haven't you?"" As if I was making it up to get a table sooner?!? Excuse me, who do you think you are, Mz. Hostess? Apparently ""Mo"" forgot her job was to be a HOSTESS, which, by definition, means she should be accommodating and welcoming. So we ended up eating at the bar, the bartenders were a hoot- very nice, and almost made up for the hostess' lack of, well, hostessing. The food was only ok. I was expecting more of a ""wow"" factor. My advice? Don't go when there is a crowd, and when Mo is hostessing, eat at the bar. Pros: Nice bartenders, good drinks Cons: Snotty hostess more

Last year I went on a first date at Silvertone... and almost one year later we're still together. So perhaps I might be a little too biased to give a review but none the less here I am. Now living in Chicago, I miss the nights I'd get off work, dash quickly over to Sivertone, sit down with my co-workers and order a bottle of Vueve for a mere 50 dollars! Oh so quickly the stress of the night dwindled away! The night of the first date was some sort of breast cancer fundraiser/ anniversary party and a party it was! Since April is only a few months away we were hoping to have a wonderful anniversary, however we can't remember the actual date. So here I am writing a review hoping that someone who knows this info is randomly reading this review and will help a poor romatic out. And for everyone else- definately check this place out!!! more

Silvertone is one of my favorites. The steak tips are the best I've had and very reasonable. The wine list has a great selection and a unique pricing policy, $10 over cost. For $30 you get a bottle that could be $55 in another place. Although best known for their Mac & Cheese and Meatloaf, I also suggest checking out other items on the menu as well. For a while I was in the habit of just trying something new, never had a bad meal. The bartenders are smooth and professional, no rookies here. It can be crowded, though they have some of the most generous booths in town. Great for lunch also. Pros: Reasonable food and outstanding value on the wine list Cons: When crowded, the wait can be long. more

I have visited Silvertone several times with gay friends and they have never been mistreated so I can't speak to that however, as a large woman I have experienced mistreatment there. Until now I have not told anyone but my shrink this, but the last time I was in Silvertone I was tied up in the back room and force-fed mac n' cheese. It was a traumatic experience. Yet strangely delicious too. My point is that if you go there you should either (a) go with friends or (b)not be fat. I am working with my shrink to get past this experience. Omigod the raspberry martinis are so good, if you go get sugar on the glass. Mmmmm. Pros: Mac and Cheese Cons: Mac and Cheese being shoved down your throat. more

Credibility lost. I see the story has changed to support your own brand of hate crimes. If I am to understand this correctly, now ?hyiy? is present at the bar to hear the horrible tirade of the lecherous bigoted bartender. Why on earth would you allow that to go on? Now you?re slamming the Bible belt? Hmmm there seems to be a pattern here with this fraction of the group and their experiences at restaurants/bars? Hmmm. I?ll pray for ya. That?s it! No more. You have heard the last of me in this forum on this subject. To the public please read with an open mind. If you would like to continue this discourse you know how to find me. more

...a nurse, two med students, an opera singer, a successful entrepreneur, a physician, and one unemployed guy go into a bar? \r \r Well if the bar happens to be Silvertone, then they DO get harassed by the bartender trying to pick up the one female in their predominantly-gay party. \r \r Unlike the last few reviewers to post on this matter, I actually WAS present when the bartender decided to ask my friend (the straight female who was in town with her boyfriend) what she was doing with that group of f-gs. Recent commentary on this matter--by conjecturing third parties--has decided to fixate on red herrings like the use of the word ""idiotic"" or personal testimonies of continued patronage in their defense of the restaurant. A great mac 'n cheese (which I didn't taste - I visually filled up on cottage cheese from the lady holding her shirt open and gyrating for the bartender's flashlight) doesn't negate that this establishment hires people who feel comfortable tossing out these sorts of offensive and incendiary comments. I thought I left hospitality like this back home in the Bible belt. >>>\r P.S. As for the 25% tip--I daresay it would not have been the same had he paid AFTER we learned what was said.>>>>>>>>STEER CLEAR, QUE*RS! Pros: The service is great Cons: if you're straight more

This restaurant is truly one of the best places in Boston to eat, drink and be merry. I just read a few of the most recent reviews that referred to discriminating bartenders and bad service. I cannot speak to either of those allegations but I can just say that I have NEVER had a bad experience at Silvertone. I dine at Silvertone at least 4 times a month (lunch and dinner) and have hosted a party in their back room. Silvertone has one of the friendliest staff's around and not to mention great meatloaf and mac &cheese! They are definitely worth going back for! Bottom line, I would strongly recommend giving this place a second chance (or in many cases, 10th, 11th, 12th etc chance:)). Pros: Food& Service more
