Burgers at The Mission Bar and Grill, Brigham Circle

We went to the Mission Bar and Grill in the Brigham Circle section of Boston the other day. I had heard from more than a few people that the burgers at the Mission Bar and Grill were some of the best in Boston, so we just had to try the place. The verdict? The burgers were indeed excellent.

The Mission Bar and Grill is in a part of Boston that is a bit away from it all. Surrounded by hospitals and near the Harvard Medical School, Brigham Circle is a bustling area during the day, but gets a bit quieter at night, since it is not really a destination for shoppers, diners, or tourists. But this may slowly be changing, as Huntington Avenue has the potential to be a grand boulevard, much like Commonwealth Avenue is today. And the Mission Bar and Grill is the first of probably many restaurants in the area that caters to people looking for a more upscale dining experience without being too pricey or snooty.

Getting back to those burgers at the Mission Bar and Grill...they are juicy, char-broiled hunks of beef that are well worth the money. And the fries that come with the burgers are excellent in their own right. To top it off, the Mission Bar and Grill has a fantastic beer selection, including Ipswich Ale and several great British beers and ales.

So will we be featuring the Mission Bar and Grill on our Web site? Well, it is rather hidden, and the food and drink we had were terrific, but we would like to check out some of the other meals at this Brigham Circle restaurant before we add it to Boston's Hidden Restaurants. But I must say, things look pretty promising for this attractive spot a few minutes southwest of downtown Boston.

For those who want the address of the Mission Bar and Grill, here it is: Mission Bar and Grill, 724 Huntington Avenue (Brigham Circle), Boston, MA 02115; the phone number is (617) 566-1244.
