Someone told me to try out this place. I walked 30 min. I walked in.Modern look of an old school Greek fast food place.How do I know I worked in some of them.The man on the counter was very polite, took my order. Great.I ordered 2 large subs, 2 slices and French fries $50!!!The receipt they give is the total without breaking down all individual items. I said to myself if the food is delicious I will not be mad if I paid so much money. I tried the food.The two slices were ok. The crust of the pizza was wrinkled l, which means was left out for a long time uncovered and during baking have this type of crust. The tomato sauce was good. The slice itself was on the thin side, hard to eat it directly, needs to use a fork and a knife.The 2 subs tasted very blend. No salt no black pepper on the steak bomb. The bread could be a better quality.The French fries no seasoning at all. Bland tasting.My discovery, someone then they packed the fries put salt and pepper packets on the bottom of the bag. On top put the plate and the French fries. How the hell you can go to the bottom of the bag take salt and pepper and season your fries?!In conclusion. This is a typical low quality fast food place. They can do much better but prefer fast money and lacking details.

Very tasty burger and good fries at reasonable prices. The staff works very quickly (burger was ready in about 5 minutes) and is still friendly and in a good mood. The rest of the menu (pizza etc.) also looked promising. Will definitely come back :)

My daughter had a tour for Boston University set up in the afternoon and needed to grab something relatively quick for lunch. She wanted pizza, I love gyros, and was a 5 minute walk to the admissions building so win-win-win. It is a very casual environment, nothing fancy about. We walked up to the counter to order and the guys working were awesome! Had some great conversation, very polite/relatable, and were appreciative for our business. Food was ready fairly quickly. My daughter ordered a slice of plain pizza (not pictured) which was big. Asked her how it was and she said it was really good! She said one slice was more than enough. Gyro was fantastic! A very full sandwich (no skimping on anything) and was mighty tasty with a great balance between the meat, vegetables, and sauce. Went out of necessity and turned out to be a great find, would definitely go back!

Takes forever. Let my food sit at the counter while they finish up a long conversation before saying it’s

The food was of poor quality and over-priced as well. The raging stench of over-used oil, was on all the foods including the veggie burger. Their tuna looked like canned cat food, and didn't even smell of tuna I was so disgusted! Never again!

Haven't been back to boston for years now, but i still remember how delicious my bacon and cheese calzone was. Thinking of taking a trip back there just to have one again lol. Glad to see them still in business.

Andy Nilson

Food is absolutely delicious. The mozzarella sticks were very good. Calzone was very big. And best of all the owner is an amazing guy, super nice. 11 out of 10 would absolutely recommend.

UGrill is a BU staple, and I will always be shocked how it remains a bit of a hidden gem (despite being in the center of campus) to students for their first few years at BU (I didn't discover it till I was a senior!) It has been a hit ever since I tried it, and they do a great business with staff/faculty too, (I feel lucky I worked at BU for five years undergrad so got to go frequently!) The family (dad and brothers) who own the place are the kindest people, always willing to chat, and recognize their "regulars" right away. Great fries and subs, and BIG portions, I tend to stick with those since they are so good, but heard great things about their gyros and just about everything else as well. I was so happy this little gem survived COVID, and hope it is around for years to come. Though its a bit out of the way for me now, I will always come visit!
