This incredibly popular chain sits in Boston's Faneuil Hall area and caters to a mix of tourists and locals alike who will wait a long time to get a table. Also very popular with the Brooks Brothers suit wearing crowd that starts piling in for drinks weeknights around 5 pm- esp. popular in the summer for it's large patio. If you think schnozzing with people in power suits is sexy, this is the place. The decor is bizarre - huge metal horse statue, striking lighting, a wall made of giant Jenga pieces, and a drawer which pulls out of the kitchen area filled with only tortilla chips (you can't make stuff like this up). The fries are incredibly thin, shoestring type, so definitely come here if you like this kind of fry. Fall-off-the-bone ribs and sizzling steaks are their specialty.

Great place for take-out (get the hot wings!) and if you're the kind of person who can have fun anywhere. Otherwise, this may not be to your liking. Reports of rude service and even ruder security staff who seem more like caricatures of themselves than anything else.
