Sunset Grill & Tap
Saturday night we were looking for some good old-fashioned comfort food and maybe a beer or two, so we headed down to the Sunset Grill & Tap in Allston. The Sunset is a pub-type atmosphere in the heart of college country. The ambiance is pub-like and a bit divey, but nonetheless a great spot for groups. The menu is among the most expansive in the city, offering about 400 beer options and seemingly as many appetizers and entrees. We started with a plate of nachos. In our opinion, you don't need to be a gourmet to make great nachos. Just pile on the goods - cheeses, jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, guacamole ... the works. At Sunset, they now how to pile the goods ... their nachos are among the area's best. From the beer menu, I went with a Red Hook Blonde, which nicely complemented by Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich was topped off by a delicious mango salsa that even Big Papi would be proud of. We also tried a Steam Beer Burger and the Curly Fries. Both were just great. Now, you can understand we're not talking gourmet food here, but when you're just in the mood to pig out for some plain old comfort food, this just might be the place to be. Service was friendly, maybe a little slow. The price is just right, the full meal cost us about 40 bucks. Parking is tough in the Allston area, but Sunset claims to have free evening parking (which we couldn't seem to find). Anyway, overall we'll be sure to head back when we're in the mood for a few beers and some nachos.
