The Boston Restaurant

Love this place! It’s located right off I-​55. They have a little of everything so if you’re traveling with picky eaters: they have steak, burgers, seafood, salads, SUSHI, sweet potato fries, fried green beans, fried pickles, boudin, soups! Good dessert. They have very large booths! There are even wall ports by most tables so you can charge your phone during dinner! Good service. Only thing is-it’s very loud especially on the weekend and sometimes the wait times can be ridiculous if you come during prime hours on a weekend! There is a bar with a few TV’s!

My youngest daughter and I had lunch Sunday, we had an appetizer of char-​grilled oysters. Her entrée was their cheeseburger and mine was a Boston Roll. The oysters were great, plump and large. She said her cheeseburger was very good and my Boston Roll was too. The roll was not as tightly constructed as I have had it in the past but I still enjoyed it. We were seated right away but, it took almost 10 mins to get a server (my daughter works at a high end restaurant and knows all the subtle details of service and dining). Our server was Josh and he did a satisfying job from that point on and was tipped a little more than 20%.My daughter always reminds me of what a server takes home in pay. All in all, it was a pleasurable dining experience. We got in before the Sunday after church crowd. The cost was reasonable and if you can arrive before the noon hour parking is not a chore.

A huge selection of offerings sure to please any palate. Go here occasionally and always have something good.

Nice place the food was very good, but the prices are terrible I will not go there again $ 18 for a bowl of. gumbo.

My husband and I had heard The Boston served a large variety of foods beautifully prepared. As usual, we tried it out for lunch. Rich had a fully dressed shrimp po’ boy and I had a burger and sweet potato fries. The po’ boy was chock full of beautifully fried shrimp, and the bun was the standard used for po’ boys in this part of the country — a delicate crunchy crust and inside a tender yet sturdy white bread. My burger was a beautiful medium-​rare — juicy and hot pink inside with grill marks and the edges a bit charred on the outside. The sweet potatoes fries were the best we’ve ever eaten — meaty inside and crispy on the outside and fresh, sweet potato flavor. We’re looking forward to trying the sushi, which is raved about all over the area. Altogether a very good experience.

The portions are very ample, service is good and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. I very much enjoyed the crab salad, it was a delight and different. I give it an overall 4 ½ to 5 stars.

2^nd time to this restaurant, the reason came here is only because it’s nearby.
Hostess seated us and we waited for 10 mins with nobody come serve us, tired to get the waitress attention, she shook her head and walked away.
First time experience wasn’t good but is ok.
We will not go back there!

A nice place to go for apps and drinks. Our food came out fast and hot, and the service was great. The only issue we had was the taste of the chicken pasta. I know that a pinch of nutmeg can take a cream sauce to the next level, but did the top of the nutmeg jar fall off while they were making it? I wish I would have known that my husband was just eating it because he was starving, or tasted some of his food.

Love this place! Great variety! Stir fry for lunch is wonderful. They have my favorite sushi! Lovely presentation, very artful! Trying the sushi pizza next trip! Great service for me! I just got asked if I wanted my tea warmed up! :)

We had a wedding rehearsal dinner here and the food was fabulous! The sirloin was delicious and cooked to perfection.

Disregard previous version, I think my phone went into speech recognition mode workout my permission

Highly recommend the seafood pesto pasta. I had veggie stir-​fry and it was very nice. Service was excellent.

Food was excellent, we order asian with some cajun spices. Staff were very friendly. A very nice surprice in a small town. We will try to come back.

I don’t like to write negative reviews, but in this case I am compelled too. My family and I decided to eat at The Boston on 5÷17÷15. We were in Folsom, LA on a special trip for Mother’s Day, the dinner at The Boston was a part of this gift. The restaurant was not overcrowded, it was a Sunday afternoon. We were seated quickly (which turned out to be the only positive note of this dining experience. Here is a rundown of this terrible experience.
— Our drink orders took an extremely long time, and when the orders were finally taken the bar was out of stock of the simple liquors, mixers, and beers we requested.
— When I ordered a draft beer I could taste that the lines on the tap have not been cleaned in some time, the beer tasted awful
— The fountain drinks tasted the same
— Our appetizer (pepper jack cheese sticks) was undercooked with the center still cold
— Mid way through the meal our waitress left, saying that she had to go to a wedding (this isn’t a problem, but our replacement server was obviously not informed of this and we had to flag a busboy to get us refills, which he forgot immediately)
— One of our guests food order was not taken, so everyone else got their food and she didn’t, the explanation was «We will just throw it on the grill and it shouldn’t take 6 minutes», 15 minutes later the burger came out, undercooked, which we sent back
— Our dessert order never came
— We weren’t given napkins or anything with our meals
— We had to flag down a waitress to finally get our check
When paying our tab we asked for the manager to tell her about the issues, and to get the food items that we didn’t receive taken off the bill. She came out after a 10 minute wait, with an attitude. She proceeded to argue with us saying «That’s just how it is». Her attitude was abhorrent. There is no excuse for this type of service and management. We have been coming to The Boston for years and have never experienced this. We just paid our full tab (including the missing food items) to leave before the situation escalated.
I called today to speak to the owner (who was not in). The manager on duty was the same manager as yesterday, and her callous, uncaring attitude was the same. I don’t want my money back, in fact I don’t want any association or contact with this restaurant again. This type of service is inexcusable and has lost 4 repeat customers and the recommendation to ANYONE who inquires about the Boston. I even wrote a positive review a while back on the Boston, disregard that review.
Avoid this place like the plague.

The food is unreal! Melissa was our server and did an amazing job! The sushi and filet were delicious! Would definitely recommend to all!

Food was amazing and service was wonderful!!! Ask for Melissa… ALL her suggestions were perfect!!!
Might have to eat here again tomorrow! ;)

The best place to eat in Amite, hands down! They have a great variety of food to please any desire. The food is fresh, staff is friendly and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere and is great for business or social.

BLUF: Unexpected crazy place in Amite. Anything in the world on one menu.
You feel like you are in a TGIFs or something. Nice place, lots of bling everywhere. Service was nice but small town slow. Thats okay with me but not all the time.
The menu it nuts. It is huge and covers so many types of food. You can get fried seafood, sushi, chineese food, burgers, sandwiches etc. Huge menu.
I got the sweet and sour chicken which they call the Choo Choo chicken. It is exactly what it was… sweet and sour chicken. Nothing exciting but it is what i wanted.
Buddy got the burger and said it was fantastic. I trust him. Other buddy got fajitas and also liked his.
I dont know Amite but I dont expect it has a huge variety of food or many places to eat. I would probably go here a lot if I spent much time in Amite. It is a 4 star place for Amite but probably wouldnt make it in a big city with lots of options.

I travel the country eating everywhere… just look at my reviews… this place is not only surprising but it is one of the best meals I’ve had here in Amite City. My server, Brooklyn, was incredible… great smile and perfect service. She recommended a wonderful sashimi dish… again surprising in Amite. Do yourself a favor and ask for her. I didn’t take a photo but I should have of my sashimi. If you are driving down I-​55 near Amite City or live here, come and try it. It is in a great refurbished old building and my catfish was perfectly prepared. Check it out!

I’d heard a lot about this place when I would go back home to visit and my sister and I finally decided to give it a try. The atmosphere is nice — casual but welcoming décor, warm colors and quite a few TVs if you want to watch a game while you’re there.
We steered away from the fried, regular menu and went straight for the sushi menu. I’ve only been lukewarm on the sushi from their sister restaurant, Cate Street in Hammond, but this was world’s better, even memorable, sushi.
We started off with the squid salad, which was DELICIOUS. Not made with mayo and the dressing was very light so you could taste the squid. For dinner, we got a couple of rolls and decided to split them. The N.O. Saints roll was BY FAR our favorite with snow crab, a nominal amount of fresh jalapeño, avocado and cream cheese topped with lightly fried whitefish. No one taste slapped you in the tongue, and the texture (which is VERY important in sushi, IMO) was very appetizing. We also tried the Burning Man Roll which is a dream for Spicy Tuna Roll lovers. You get the spicy tuna kicked up to 11 with the addition of crunchy tempura, avocado, and some awesome white tuna tataki on top. The only roll that we didn’t like was the Shaggy. We found that it was over mayonnaised, so we told our waiter and the manager and they were awesome enough to send us another N.O. Saints roll instead.
My suggestion, stay away from anything with their spicy mayo — too much mayo, and not enough spicy. That being said, the fact that the waitstaff and management were willing to make us something else to ensure that we were happy with our experience and not charge us for the extra roll was great and it will definitely ensure a return trip from me.
Oh, and if you are thinking about dessert, make sure you go with the Happy Ending. BROWNIES AND BREAD PUDDING. TOGETHER, Y’ALL. Can’t miss it.
