Wow, this place is bad! I guess I have to give it two stars, because the fish n chips were so indelible, it saved my waistline by not being able to eat more than two pieces. Â The "Belgian wheat 'beah' (beer)" is like drinking a Miller; it doesn't even resemble wheat beer in any way other than being yellow/straw colored. The "award-winning" clam "chowda", was watery, very few potatoes, very little clam flavor, very few clams. I couldn't finish a single dish. Â It was just downright bad.
This restaurant clearly exists to serve out of towners, like me.
What to do when you're already through security at terminal B and aren't interested in the mega caloric, soggy mess called a panini at the Admirals Club? Â Have never tried Cisco and walk by all the time.
Ordered a quesadilla and a brew. Good beer, OK quesadilla but couldn't finish it. It's OK but a better option is to stop at the seafood place before security.
This place was terrible. You'd expect an airport restaurant to have quick service given that everyone there has a plane to catch, but that was not the case here. After the waitress threw a menu on my table with no welcome, she came back 5 min later to get my order. The beer came fairly quick but with a large head and again the waitress threw it down and did not stick around. Another woman brought me the green bean appetizer a while longer and then I never saw the waitress again. I wanted a glass of water and could see her in the back eating and drinking (I had a table in the back corner that gave me a slight view of the little room before the kitchen). Finally I got her attention and made the check motion and she nodded. This was after I had been there for 30 minutes. I then had to wait another 15 min before she even got close to me and even then she didn't have the check so I asked again. She went back to serving people at the bar before she finally brought it over. At that point I had my credit card ready to go, but she ran away when I tried to give it to her when she handed me the bill. She again didn't come back for 5 min even though I asked her to take it as she went to clean tables. It was ridiculous and would have made me late for my flight if I had been in any kind of hurry. As it was, I spent almost an hour having one beer and one appetizer which is unacceptable for an airport restaurant and just plain rude when you're ignored that entire time.
As for the beer and food, the blonde ale was decent, not great and not worth having again. I also ordered the fried green beans, which were just okay. I liked the aioli sauce, but the batter on the beans was too thick and not flaky at all.
Overall, I will avoid this place in all future trips. I'd rather eat at Todd English's restaurant and pay more or even go to the McDonald's for better service. If this place wasn't in the airport, it would never survive.
Not a bad way to kill time at an airport. A selection of craft beers on tap and a menu featuring seafood and local favorites make this a decent place to stop in. Sure, it's way too expensive for what it is, but that could be said about any airport eatery. Â The clam chowder wasn't life-changing, but it was enjoyable. Â The service was pretty good, they even put on my college game so I could watch my team suck it up before I boarded my flight.
Review Source:Wow, a place with food and local micro-brews in an airport. I'm sold. The food was decent, but not all good. I have learned to sample the local "chowda" and this one was just off, which is a sin anywhere within thirty miles of the Boston commons. The chicken sandwich was good, so that was a redeeming feature. Oh and great beer, I will forgive anything for good beer.
You can tell the wait staff has been given a suggestive sell script, and I have to give the young women plaudits for doing what she was told, but damn, give the wait staff a little discretion instead of making them banter awkwardly like mindless waitrons. You get knocked one star for aggressive sales tactics. I spent almost $40 by the time I was done, convincing me to try a variety of local brews is about as easy as convincing a kitten to be cute, so you made enough off me, thank you.
So plus one star for good beer, minus one star for bad chowder and loading your wait staff down with suggestive sell scripts until you can figure out how to replace them with androids.
I have a few hours in Boston-Logan Int'l before the next flight.
I couldn't possibly leave Boston without have a hot bowl of New England clam chowda, could I?
You figure a bowl of some clam chowda should only run $3-5. Â Tack on another $2 for the airport premium (so $7 total for chowda???). Â It is smooth, and creamy. Â And much better than a can of Campbell's. Â
The waitress is prompt, but you can tell she doesn't want to be there. Â Forget a wink and smile. A woman of few words, she looked like she had trouble keeping her poker face from drooping into a frown. Â But I'm content with speedy service. Â
The lobster roll ain't half bad. Â It's not the best tasting lobster roll in the world. Â But it is very plentiful. Â The texture is just spot on. Â Imagine a long hot dog bun, toasted, then filled to the brim with lobster meat blanched in mayo. Â Very tasty. Â And compared to the amount of lobster I get from lobster rolls in Los Angeles, the price is fair at $19. Â
The fries and cole slaw that accompany the lobster roll are just ho-hum. Â The fries could've used a bit more cooking for that touch of crispness. Â
There's lot of bar seating, and several booths, with mounted TV's for sports.
Normally when you dine at the airport you experience high prices and servers who don't really care. Cisco was different though. The service was prompt and polite and the beer was great. Cisco Brew is a micro brewery, so they make their own beer. I had the Grey Lady and the Sankaty Light. The Grey Lady was a very pleasant light beer that went great with a lemon with no after taste. The Sankaty Light was extremely light, almost like water and also with no after taste. Overall enjoyable experience, I wouldn't get the Sankaty Light again though.
Review Source:Eh, this place sorta sucks. It's got that whole "we only serve microbrewed beer" pretentiousness to it, coupled with absurd prices, even for an airport bar. Seating is bizarre too, and cramped (considering it's in an airport where everyone has a ton of luggage). Cramped seating, unfortunately, affects many places in Logan, but I digress. The important thing here is, it's not the only place you can get a beer in that part of Terminal B! Walk ten steps across the way, pay a mildly overpriced $4.75 for a Budweiser instead of an insane $9.36 for some beer you won't like anyway.
Review Source:I needed something sweet prior to going back to LA. I got the ice cream sundae and it had way too much vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Not enough chocolate sauce and nuts. I like chocolate nuts in my mouth.
I should have just gotten myself an ice cream sundae from the McDonalds across the way.
Super expensive food and terrible service makes this a completely forgettable airport dining experience. Just a note, I did not order any alcohol, so no judgements on their selection or pour. Just food and service.
Typical greasy bar food (wings, nachos, burgers,etc.) along with a selection of New England specialties (chowder, lobster roll). I opted for the black bean burger, $13.50! A black bean burger with a side of fries....$13.50 and it is served on an english muffin, not even a hamburger bun. The burger, excuse me, the breakfast sandwich was nothing memorable and the serving of fries was not humongous. They don't even provide enough ketchup, just a small cup. When the waitress wasn't hiding in the kitchen complaining about her work schedule she would occasionally pass by and every so often would see fit to refill my ice tea.
With such terrible service and value, I would stronlgy consider leaving the secured area of the airport to eat at Legal Seafood outside next I have a layover at BOS.
Good place to grab a quick brew if you're inside the American Airlines terminal. Â They have $6 dollar pints for a couple of microbrews. Â I ordered the clam chowder and lobster club and both were quite tasty. Â But at $6 for a cup and $17 bux for the sandwich (I guess it IS lobster)...it's a bit pricey. Â Just grab a beer and enjoy the pre-flight party (for me, it means sleeping the entire way).
Review Source:Keep your receipt!
Just like happened to Craig B., they altered my credit card receipt to add a $10 tip on a $6 check. Â I left a normal tip in cash, but I guess the bartender didn't think that was enough.
The beer was nothing special but fine - and certainly not good enough to make up for them actually ripping off their customers.
This place is fine to stop and grab a drink if you have time to kill before your flight. Â The selection is fine, the menu is fine, everything about it is just fine. Â
I would probably recommend this to a friend as "Oh yeah - I went to that Brew Pub in Terminal B - they have enough booze in there to help you sleep on the flight" but not as a "You HAVE to go to Cisco Brew Pub! Â It's amazing!"
It's just a place to get some beer before your flight.
Lousy service. Lousy food. Cold fries. Food sat in window for 10 minutes. Cooks are unprofessional on their phones and eating fries in plain view of customers. Server named Dani- Â unfriendly, unattentive. Walk another 10 feet and go to Bonfire, it is much better. Beer is ok. Owner should be ashamed.
Review Source:Came here on the way out of Boston for a business trip. Â The beers really are great and probably better than anything you'll find at the more "mainstream" bars. Â I wasn't able to sample any of the food, but the bartender was hilarious and attentive; both something you want when you're traveling alone and on a schedule.
Review Source:This one is for the prebubecent arrogant bar tender lady(ya ll will know). Â Â The reflection this air head gives the general public of boston puts a shame to your town. Pale ale descriptions and other beer info was bs fluff to make you buy what she can make money off. Â I am a world class beer brewer and if the head brewers (you pour for) heard your explanation of their beers they would spit. Don't try to sound knowledgeable just to get tips. You come off as ignorant. Â The great craft beers are a trick to get you in and swindled. When you are a crappy, overly confident, rude,(like the "wanna b know it all who wish she could get into harvard but ended up pourin my beer in an airport ) Â ignorant grunt worker that enjoys makeing other people feel bad to justify her shitty existence on this planet. If you were friendly and not such a bitch I would have given your more. I always tip 20 to people who even pseudeo deserve it. You didn't at all. Way to trash all the other restauraunts in the airport too. They are better people then you. Maybe not as nice beers. But better. Â You are a horrible, horrible bartender. And I see you got that guy on a fraud after looking at you review. That was like 5 days ago. . Little to say, the show you are running is a mess! Â Totally don't judge a book by a cover on this one- you may make a big mistake buy going in.
Review Source:STAY AWAY. Â But if you do go, make sure to double check your credit card bill. Â They altered my signed receipt - I left a $1 tip on a $8 bill (one beer) and they changed it to a $10 tip. Â I thought 18 bucks seemed expensive when I saw my Amex bill, so I dug out my receipt. Â
Beers were decent and the price reasonable, but FRAUD is unacceptable.
The Cisco Brew Pub is a great place to spend the time while waiting for your American flight out of Logan (Terminal B). Â Much better than any of the available alternatives.
The food is great, and the beer even better ! Â I've eaten here over a dozen times. Â Try the Fried Haddock, the fried Cod sandwich, or the Buffalo Shrimp! Â The kitchen is fast and friendly to requests.
The Whale Tale Pale Ale is a fine specimen of the art.
There are plenty of outlets along the walls, and free Wifi from Logan Airport.
Mysteriously enough, both cheap and decent, something one doesn't expect from an airport bar.
I digress. Â I've been to interesting airport bars (the Last Resort at BDL) and just horrid ones (Chickie & Pete's at Philly). Â Cisco Brew Pub falls into the "good" category. Â My entire breakfast cost about $15, though about half of that was the Nutty Irishman (no, not an actual Irish Dude, an Irish Coffee). Â The rest was a la carte food.
Housed in the American Airlines section of Terminal B, you'll only go here if you happen to have a domestic American or American Eagle flight. Â But they do serve breakfast early. Â The real highlight here are the home fries-related option. Â They're lemon-y, with the perfect tinge to make them exciting. Â The other stuff I got (scrambled eggs and bacon) were a little bit less exciting, but were definitely manageable. Â
So if you're in Terminal B, and need some grub, and don't simply want to go to Cosi, it's a decent option.
I agree 100% with ther previous reviewer!
Best airport bar ever. I know this may be like saying "most enjoyable dentist visit ever," but bear with me.
1) The beers are straight-up delicious, and I'm a homebrewer and beer snob, so I'm not just saying that.
2) $6 a pint, which is really not terrible by airport captive-pricing standards. At plenty of bars in Hell Ay where I live, that's what you'll pay for a pint of something not as good as Cisco.
3) The bartender when I went was surprisingly friendly and knowledgeable, without the air of inexplicable creepiness that often accompanies airport bartenders.
They've also got food, wine, and hard stuff, but I didn't sample those.
Looked ok from the outside, and the idea is good. Â Unfortunately, that's where it ends. Â You see, I hadn't planned to split my lunch with the waitress. Â Problem with "open kitchen" concept is that the diner can see what happens--as my food arrived at the pass line, I watched my waitress grab some fries off my plate and shove them in her mouth, with total impunity. Â
"Chef Owner" David Martin (wonder where you have to graduate in your culinary school class to be "chef" at an airport microwave restaurant?) wouldn't even apologize, and didn't seem to realize that this was a health code violation, not to mention simply disgusting. . Â He did comp the meal (which I refused to eat anyway). Â
Takeway: Â avoid foodborne illness...you're much safer at one of the other food court choices in Terminal B.
