I've been a waitress before, so I'm pretty easy on waitresses-- especially during the lunch rush. However, there's no excuse for our waitress today. Our waitress totally forgot ...

Editorial review from Citysearch 5/6/2013

This place is just bad. I ordered the shepards pie...it just wasn't appetizing, but not unpalatable. My husbands chicken was over cooked and he said he could tell the chicken wasn't fresh. His vegetables were mushy and the capers were burnt. The beer tasted like the taps haven't been cleaned in a while. We cook better food at home so why pay to eat bad food? Nothing on the menu really looked good...it all just seemed blah. The waitress was really nice and comped my meal because i said it was alright. My husband was nice and said the food was good but it definitely was not good. I'm really not sure how this place has gotten good reviews...we will not be returning. Ever. more

highly recomended 5/23/2009

My friends and I had a wonderful experience at Amrheins the other night. Our server was friendly and very helpful. The pan seared scallops were the best I've ever had. The atmosphere was fun and the deserts were to die for. We'll be back for sure! Pros: Atmoshere,parking, wide menu selection more

Chef should be ashamed of himself! 5/7/2009

my wife and I met up with some friends last sunday, and we were greeted with a very attentive and friendly waitress. my friends order was a little tricky, however, the waitress took everything down, and went over it again. When our food was delivered, it was practically the opposite of how she had asked for it. Our waitress appologized, and then chef came out, and walked away from us, when we told him how unhappy we were with the meal. When the bill came, they had not even taken one drink off, after we had clearly stated how unhappy we were with the meal. When asked to speak with the chef again, he blew up in our faces, told us that ""sorry mistakes happen"" then walked away from us. the poor waitress' looked horrified, and kept apologizing for him. This sad pathetic little man should not even work at burger king. UNBELIEVABLE! Pros: waitress Cons: everything else more

Why I love Amrhein's.... 4/7/2009

I go to Amrhein's 3 times a week because the service and delicious food keep me coming back for more. With delicious appetizers, entrees and desserts to choose from at reasonable prices, you can't beat it. The friendly atmosphere with big screen TVs, great service,awesome music,a full bar, and their great martini list are always a treat for me during the week and on the weekends. If you are looking for a good restaurant to feel comfortable at and enjoy yourself, I highly reccomend Amrhein's in South Boston. more

Surprised they didn't try the magic check game 3/24/2009

Stickly a neighborhood joint from asking around. Beware if they think you are a tourist. Ordered a rum and pineapple, got water downed pineapple juice that tasted like butterscotch. Entree was lobster pie that sounded good but turned out to be small pieces of lobster sitting ontop of some kind of gluey uncooked dough in the bottom of the dish. The dish arrived at the table unfinished.\r \r Asked for the manager. The server returned from the kitchen and produced his card and told us we would have to call him??? more

Amazing in every way!!! 3/6/2009

I go to Amrheins at least 2-3 times a week. The Sunday Brunch is out of this world! There are so many different options to choose from. The service is always top notch! I've been in the industry for many years now - so I am very picky. I absolutely LOVE the chicken bella bocca (on the dinner menu) and all the salads and sandwiches served at lunch are sooo gooood! I've also been to Amrheins for a few different private events and they always do an outstanding job with everything. \r \r I would definitely recomment Amrheins to anyone - for any occassion! Pros: Free off street parking, food, service more

head up to east broadway....this is not worth stopping for 10/9/2008

Stopped in on Thursday night (10/9/08) at 6.30pm to meet my wife for dinner after work.\r Knew it was a mistake as soon as I walked in, table was dirty and overall it looked like an cheap bar-room \r \r I decided to have the meat loaf special ($18.00) not cheap but price is never a consideration, if the food is good, wife opted for risotto.\r \r Onion rings as a starter was not too bad..7 out of 10.\r Main course of risotto was appetising and was served hot....6 out of 10\r Meat loaf was a disaster and served luke warm with cold french fries and green substance described as peppers? One bite was enough.....1 out of 10.\r Waitress returned after my wife finished her risotto to inquire how the food was..we expressed our disappointment and after informing the ""chef"", we were told he was busy but the next time we were in, we could have a complimentary dessert........I don't think so!!!! more

Impressed 9/30/2008

I went to Amrheins for the first time on saturday afternoon with a larger group of people that have been before. The food was excellent!! I had the lobster pie and the rasberry goat cheese salad. We all enjoyed our food very much. I was also very impressed with the service we recieved. Server Melissa did a great job and should be praised for service to us. I am new to the area and will be coming back for dinner soon! Cons: music could be a little more modern more

AVIOD THIS PLACE 9/25/2008

I was there this weekend and the food was terrible!! The chef should be ashamed of him self for swearing the way he does the whole dining room could hear him just want I want my child to hear while we are eating dinner not to mention an expensive one at that! I wasn't impressed with the bathroom either, I thought this place was fairly new??? What a dump?. The waitress was just ok they stand around talking to eachother like it's a reunion, do your job how hard is it to get someone more water (in a dirty glass)??!?!? I asked to speak to someone about the situation and the girl told me someone would be right over but no one every came by and the owner is right in the other room, good way to run a business idiot!!!! I will never go back to that place... I'd rather eat up the street in Burger King!!!!!!!! Pros: parking Cons: EVERYTHING ELSE more

all around great place 9/25/2008

I have a lunch meeting at Amrhein's last week and we were there a while. The staff was wonderful the host seated us at a large table by the windows. We were greated by our waitress Karen, who was a lovely lady. We did some work and were served our lunches not long after ordering, I had a salad with steak tip it was to die for and to big to finish. We sat a while doing some more work and then had dessert and coffee. We were not rushed even though it was getting busy for lunch. Karen was there several times to check on us and make sure we had full drinks. It was a great lunch and I will bring more clients there and if the weather stays nice we might even sit outside. Pros: off street parking, wonderful people working there more

bad food, bad service, bad atmosphere......... 9/24/2008

The food in this place is over priced, horrible, garbage. I had a stomach ache for the entire night after eating there, the service was awful from the bartender to the hostess to the waitress, everything about the place sucked. To top it all off I even knocked my head off the ceiling going down the stairs to the restroom, and I am not all that tall. Sitting outside looking at the police take people into the station or the lovely gas station across the street makes me wonder what type of moron operates this place. Who would actually sit people outside in a crappy setting like that and expect to hear good things about it? There are much better places all over South Boston and around Boston in general, I'd rather pay a few bucks to park than deal with the disgusting atmosphere in this place or ever eat that horrible food again. Way to go morons, you screwed this place up permanentely. Pros: i lived through it Cons: everything about the place more

Overpriced, poor food despite good atmoshphere 8/17/2008

Maybe I'm a glutton for punishment, but I've eaten at Amherien's at least 5 times in the last year, and have been thoroughly disappointed with the quality and price of food, and the service. From the chicken finger appetizers (bigger portion in McDonald's 4 piece nugget box) to brunch (overcooked eggs benedict tasting an hour old) to bland ribs, their food is just very very very disappointing. It's too bad, because the atmosphere is great, and the bartenders do a great job preparing drinks. But, at the end of the day, the food is lacking in all areas. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: Food and Price more

WOW! Very poor! I miss the Quiet Man!! 6/29/2008

We were pretty bummed out about the overall service. \r \r First time- we ate in the restauraunt and the food was great and service was better. We tried the take out and we waited 48 minutes, our order was wrong and the ""Owner"" yelled at my wife and then called back to basically give us a hard time. \r \r The bartender was awesome but unfortunately we won't be back. We try hard to patronize Southie restaurants and bars. We are from here! This was just bad and we are bummed out at the attitude that we received. Very disappointed and we won't be back. CF Donvans is a little drive but so much better.\r \r TC Pros: Psrking more

Great Dinner, Great Service 4/1/2008

I went to Amrheins the other night with my girlfriend, it was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. We have been to Amrheins before and always had a good meal but that was all it was, a good meal. This night happened to be one of the better. I had the Maple Glazed Pork special, it was out of this world. My girlfriend had the Chicken Bella Bocca. Our waitress Meg recommended both meals, she claimed the Bella Bocca was her favorite dish on the menu, now, it is also one of my girlfriends favorites. Meg made our night even more enjoyable, with her pleasant smile and great sense of humor, we laughed as well as ate. If you are looking for a comfortable, warm, friendly place to have a delicious dinner and great drinks, then I recommend giving Amrheins a shot. Between the delicious food and great service, we will be back to Amrheins again very soon. Pros: Great Service, from the Hostess to the waitress to the bartenders, very warm, friendly and comfortable Cons: Music A Little Loud, Chef Very Loud more

Wonderful service, bad meal 3/26/2008

I have worked in the service industry for a while now, and I love comming to Amrheins with my family. A few nights ago for the first time, I had a very unpleasent meal. However, our server Hanna was excellent. We have had her before and have always enjoyed her. She is very funny, friendly, and professional. The other night, she quickly ran off to get the manager and they came over and spoke with us, and then took care of the entire meal!!! I was very surprised! I look forward to eating there again, hopefully with a better meal!!!! more

Terrible 3/21/2008

I used to come to Amrheins when is USED to be modestly priced comfort foods with great service - not anymore! Poor service, but the food is the real shame. I had the Pork ribs which were such a waste - the sauce tasted like dishwater - I couldn't get through 2 bites. My husband's meal was equally awful. I have had take out one other time since the reopening and it was equally awful. Talk about messing with a good thing - never eating there again (previously at least twice a month). Plenty of other good restaurants to justify not going to this one anymore. Pros: Location Cons: Everything else more

Excellent service in Kelley's section! 3/7/2008

We decided to try Amrhein's restaurant for lunch but were pressed for time. We let our server Kelley know as soon as we sat down.\r Kelley was very pleasant and even though the restaurant was very busy she took the time to go over the menu with us and mentioned her favorite entrees.\r We both decided to go with the clam chowder which was out of this world delicious! My husband had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the ficsh n' chips.\r We were so happy with our selections and Kelley was really instrumental in expediting our lunch swiftly.\r We will be back to Amrhein's restaurant and will definately return to Kelley's section.\r \r Thank you, Kelley.\r \r Lois and Richard Pros: Our server Kelley and the food. Cons: Not one thing more
