Daddy Jones Somerville

Dinner with friends last night on the patio. Atmosphere was great! I had the gyro and salad, delicious. My friends all enjoyed their meals very much. We ended dinner sharing cheesecake baklava, so good!! Also drinks were really good. I was looking forward to the mastica margarita but tried what everyone else was drinking, I forget the name but it was purple, really good. Can't wait to go back!!

I saw Daddy Jones Bar featured on Food Network and now that I come up to the Boston area relatively regularly, I knew I had to give this place a shot. The location is nice. It is a relatively small bar with street parking. Lots of people inside and seemed like a fairly young crowd. Aside from seating at the bar itself, there are several tables (high tops), making for adequate seating. Their signature burger, the one featured, is the Chris Burger. It is a spicy burger with spicy mayo, Siraccha, bacon, pickle and cheddar on an English muffin. Sounded just like what I was in the mood for. I ordered the burger .... when it came out it looked and smelled delicious. The fries were seasoned nicely, and the burger obviously had a nice char on it. I grabbed the burger, took a bite, and was all smiles .... it was awesome! It's what I like from a burger, hot, charred, well seasoned and the juices dripped down my hand. My only "critique" is that the English muffin was very lightly toasted (maybe just put on the grill), and could have used a little longer time being "toasted". This bar appears to have a Greek influence and the menu reflects that. They offer gyros, other burgers and other selections as well as dessert. I am a big fan of gyros, so I'd like to give them a try too.
