Yelp.com Review - by keith s.

4.0 of 5 stars. Well "I'm a fan" might be untrue, as I didn't get to eat there, but based on how jam-packed it was, many many people are obviously fans. I tried to eat here last night. I say "tried" because we waited…

Yelp.com Review - by Jennifer W.

5.0 of 5 stars. Although I live in Boston now, every single time I come home, the first place I head is to the Nook for a Juicy Nookie. They are the best burgers you will find anywhere! AMAZING!

Fabulous Burger Joint

This dive of a burger joint is a 5 star in my book because it does everything you expect in a classic burger. It's big, it's cheezy, it's hot, it comes in a basket, it has really good crispy dark golden fries...

Short on space, big on cheesy goodness

2.0 of 5 stars. This joint has more history than a glacier! Currently, they serve an average burger on the "too large" size. The fries are extremely greasy. Now that it's an apparently "hip" place, it's hard to get a…
