Jake SmithMarch 22, 2014When ordering the Eastern Carolina Pulled Pork Platter, order a side bun to construct a sandwich with pork and coleslaw. The pork chunks are massive and tasty, requiring no additional sauce.
The Wall Street JournalJanuary 16, 2015This spot is rightly famous for its scholarly re-creation of pit barbecue, although we think even the first-rate eastern North Carolina pulled pork relies too much on its excellent vinegary sauce. Read more
Cathy SahyonneJanuary 1, 2015Everything was fantastic for the hangover yearly brunch!! Place was crowded so I do recommend making a reservation. Our server sucked but the manager or the guy in charge was great!!
Christine LeeOctober 28, 2012Amazing service and food! Get the mussels and shrimp for apps. Also order scallops, fish and chips, and ribs--the ribs is enough for three or four there are so many!
Boston.comFebruary 1, 2012Be bold, brunchers -- the mix-ins at East Coast Grill's Bloody Mary bar offer a chance for real creativity. This Inman Square staple often lands at the top of locals' lists for the best Bloody. Read more
- Boston.comAugust 4, 2014At brunch, there's a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar, and occasional Hell Night events are a must for true chili heads. Read more
Dana CohenAugust 10, 2014Vegetarian platter is a comically ENORMOUS mound of every non-meat dish in the house. Epic and delicious must-try.
Sophia Chua-RubenfeldApril 15, 2013Spicy prawn app was a highlight -- actually reminded me of Sichuan hot peppercorn flavors. Not for the faint of heart, but definitely try it if you dare!
CBM August 15, 2014If you've never had boiled peanuts before, they make for quite the appetizer! Be brave. 😉
Nathaniel HajianAugust 27, 2013The pork and tuna dumplings. It's sounds wierd but they're amazing. Otherwise the barbecue trip platter is to die for.
Don't let the wait get you down. Leave your cell number with the host and grab at beer next door at Buk's. They'll call when your table is ready.
Amazing fish, terrific ribs, SPICY food for those who love it, and great vegetarian options. Something for everyone. Margaritas are excellent too.- Boston.comJanuary 24, 2012It's a different kind of BYOB at this haunt's brunch: be-your-own-bartender. Toss celery, olives, Worcestershire sauce, and more into your spicy cocktail and enjoy menu items like the Cuban Reuben. Read more
Ben BearnotOctober 4, 2014The small make-your-own bloody mary is big, and the large is ginormous. Order at your own risk!
Catherine HurstMay 5, 2013Great grilled fish--I particularly like the mahi-mahi with pineapple, avocado, and plantains on the side.
Yvette FitchFebruary 13, 2013Look at the specials before you order! They have some amazing choices. Oh, and do try the BBQ!
Bernardo TorresJuly 10, 2013Don't make the mistake I made, when there definitely order the crab legs. They are so fresh and taste so sweet.
Jeremy KrantzNovember 11, 2014Three nights a year they hot Hell Night where they serve up some of the spiciest dishes on earth. If you want to experience it good luck!
One of the best drinks on the menu is the Daly Palmer; mango-sweet-tea-infused vodka & fresh-squeezed lemonade served in a pint glass with ice. Wicked yum.
Al SMay 12, 2012Eat the WMDs--wings of mass destruction--with ghost chili sauce. So spicy, so good. Beware: These wings are no joke.
Jessie HannaNovember 18, 2012Awesome bloody Mary's...they have a great spicy vodka and make their own pickled items! Pork banana is HOT HOT HOT!
Ann MarieFebruary 9, 2015Great food and drinks. Try the fish tacos and the fried goat cheese app. Amazing!
Hyoun ParkJune 1, 2012You must order something with the Inner Beauty Hot Sauce to truly experience East Coast Grill
- A BermDecember 9, 2010eat. Here. Be happy. Then head to Lorem Ipsum Books and feed your mind. A real, live bookstore in the heart of Inman Sq, now open late. Show books are not dead yet!
The make-it-yourself bloody Mary's and Amilcar's Omelet are all you'll ever need to be satisfied in life :)- Boston.comJuly 27, 2010This year, East Coast Grill celebrates its 25th anniversary. There is nothing subtle about its success, predicated on internal-organ-scorching hot sauces, smoke and flames, hunks of meat, and creature Read more
Lily LJuly 6, 2012The dairy-free veg plate is a delicious, vegan dream that lasts for three days. Amen.

Whitney BaxterJanuary 13, 2012Get in for Hell Night (if you can). If you can't, still awesome seafood and solid BBQ.
Finally found a place I like bloody Mary's, oysters are delicious
AlyssaOctober 9, 2012Some of the nicest managers and wait staff around. Great atmosphere especially during hell nights
Kevin NguyenJune 3, 2012Hell bone with inner beauty hot sauce. The most bombastic food experience you can have for $3.
Mark DaPonteDecember 10, 2010If you like spicy, go to He'll Night! The Wings of Ass Destruction my be the best hot wings on the planet.
Sam CJune 15, 2010The Black & Blue Tuna Taco Appetizer is one of the best things I've ever eaten anywhere in the world
