Connolly's Publik House

Fairly good for an airport hotel restaurant. Pros: The service was friendly and attentive. The onion rings were nice and crispy. The cook on our burgers was a perfect medium. The cons: A little too much grease on the buns. The kitchen missed small things, for example, we had to ask twice for condiments.

This lobster roll was only $39 and it was a hefty amount! Probably around a pound, cold and absolutely delicious! I was surprised by the portion amount because of the price. The lobster was fresh, it didn’t smell or taste fishy and the bun was so good. Everything was just so yum. My waitress was very nice as well, checked in often and always had a smile. For airport hotel lobster roll, it was totally worth it!!

Convenient location, interior feels liminal but there were plenty of people. Service was mostly quick but the server (male) seemed dead inside. Food was ok. Fish and chips wasn’t bad, not sure it was haddock but the fries were good. Mac and Cheese was expensive, lacking in sharp flavor but perhaps flavor is an individual preference. Good beer selection. Overall fair and in line with hotel dining.

I asked our waiter David for a recommendation and he suggested the crispy chicken sandwich. He was absolutely right. That is one amazing sandwich. The chicken was perfectly crispy and spicy and tasty. It had lots of finely chopped leafy greens, carrots, and some other vegetables in there. Most importantly with the pickles; the pickles taste just like maple rum spicy pickles that I get from Vermont, but he said that they actually soak their own cucumbers in their own pickle brine. It was really really good. It also has bacon on it and whatever sauce that was on the bun was great. The restaurant was clean and nice. There are lots of TVs playing different sports stations that my husband enjoyed.

This is one of those "only game in town" situations. We often stay at the BOS Hilton en route to somewhere else. Connolly's is the only "convenient" place to eat. The food is certainly not bad. But the prices are far too high, and the drinks are tiny, and weak. To firmly secure their place on the wall of shame, they charge a 15% gratuity on take out. (Which is, without exception, always wrong. Whether it's a missing dressing, or other small mistake.) We'll pack snacks from now on. We just can't continue to support this place. $100 for two salads and a beer is simply not rational.
