Hector H Hernandez: Dinner at the bar is great. I recommend the Hanger Steak or the Pork Chop. Brunch is a must - Deyve's Famous Grits - yes, do it. Read more.
Erica Webb: Wonderful! Brunch is great, it can get busy so be ready for a wait. The chorizo grits are delicious!
Namhee Cho: Get either rigatoni, veal, or pork! Everything I have had so far at metropolis was very delicious! Both wine and food at reasonable price. One of my most favorite restaurants in south end!

Brian Park: Some of the best grilled calamari I have had. Great Manhattans and the cheddar cheese grits are also great!!
Tommy Wiles: late night food - served until 1:00am. Steak Frites stays on the menu all the time (and there's a reason), but the rotating specials are the way to go! Try one and you won't be disappointed.
BostonTweet: The Franklin Cafe has O'Hara's Irish Stout on draft for $5 and they serve really good food until 1:30am. It honestly doesn't get any better than that.

A S: Perfect tasting mimosas. The shrimp and grits is a great brunch dish.
Maggi B: Best place ever. Food is great, everyone that works there is super nice and helpful! ❤️
Jake Smith: The Chicken Fried was a great sandwich (the potato salad spread is awesome!), and you can get tots or fries on the side instead of the salad (although the salad is quite delicious).

Alexa Jane Brooks: Shrimp and grits! Also, the moonshine is very tasty. Ask your friendly waiter for a southern style recommendation.
Edward Aaron: Line Dancing on Sunday’s and Tuesday’s. Great fun, beginners welcome. Where else in Boston can you do this? $4 drafts and great company. Worth a look!
Jake Smith: Catfish sandwich and loaded mashed potatoes were great, as was the fried chicken. Wash it all down with a Lone Star, the national beer of Texas.

Meg Berman: Even though the menu is extensive, be sure to check out their daily special menu. Seafood surprises like lobster tacos and shrimp and grits appear weekly. Reservations highly recommended.

Amy Lopez: This is one of those little places that you just have to try. Their Lobster Roll is to die for! From the warm, buttered, toasty, Lobster-filled roll to the delicious seasoned fries. It is a must!
