"We normally go to JJ Foley's for beer after work on a Friday. We decided to have a full dinner recently. The food was "OK", but the waitress was great and the beer was good. I would gladly eat there again, but don't expect gourmet dining. I've always loved the place, great Irish bar."

"During a difficult week in Boston I spent lunch at Foley's - everyone was warm and comforting - I felt like I was in a safe harbor - the food was excellent - I had the Turkey Gobbler sandwich - total comfort food. With a side salad it was healthy but made me feel like I was home. Great restaurant."
