Love love love this place. I’ve been a frequent regular for a few months now and I can say that the drinks, food, and staff are always top notch.
They have one of the best burgers in town especially for late night! The pimento cheese is beyond delicious and at this point the bartender Mika always knows to throw it in for me the second I walk in.
The cocktail and mocktail list are pretty impressive too. If you like the mocktail “1, 2, 3, 4” you should ask one of the bartenders to make you the 5678.

Sarah was SO fun and such an amazing server; Sausage roll was unreal… and as a Southerner, this was the BEST pimento cheese I’ve had since moving to New England. Major props!!!

The service here is top notch and it’s a great place to grab a fun or creative cocktail. I also appreciate the fact that the music is played at a volume where you can carry on a conversation.
Tall Order is a truly wonderful neighborhood spot with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. The staff are all friendly and super helpful, cocktails are unique and tasty, and they pour a great Guinness. We’ve really enjoyed everything we’ve tried off the food menu as well, especially the pickled mushrooms, firecracker tofu, and portobello burger for vegetarian options. Love having this spot in the neighborhood!

Open late! This already makes it a great place to go! The house cocktails are all a bit... Very original. I went with a classic Manhattan. Haven't tried the food, except late night snacs. The onion dip is addictive.

Four of us went to Tall Order around 7 pm on a Saturday for drinks and apps, and it was exactly what we were hoping for.
The vibe is cozy and welcoming—no-frills décor, but thoughtfully laid out with a nice mix of low tables, high tops, and a long, inviting bar.
The staff really stood out, especially our server Sarah, who was warm, knowledgeable, and took the time to walk us through both the food and cocktail options without rushing us. As an extra touch, Chef Steve came out to our table to chat and describe a few of the dishes, which made the experience feel personal.
Food highlights:
• Firecracker tofu – perfectly fried cubes tossed in a hot-sweet Korean-style sauce; addictive.
• Grilled broccoli – smoky, well-seasoned, and deeply satisfying.
• Butternut squash soup – smooth and flavorful, elevated by roasted, ground squash seeds and a subtle curry note.
• Polenta with short ribs – rich, comforting.
• Smoked bluefish pâté – excellent texture and smoke, a tad too salty for me.
Drinks:
• Also Fancy – bright and fruity, but not overly sweet.
• St. Peter’s Bay – a mezcal-forward, Old Fashioned–adjacent cocktail that really worked.
• Bonus points: I asked for a custom gin gimlet, and the bartender delivered a fresh, mint-forward version that was perfectly balanced.
Great neighborhood spot that we’ll be returning to!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Joe and his team hosted our holiday party and did a FANTASTIC job. Food, service, atmosphere was all A+. Thank you, Tall Order! We will be back next year.

Amazing gluten free options and knowledgeable servers! Dedicated fryer so I could enjoy the French fries and fried chicken sandwich (on a gf bun) without worry of cross contamination. Can’t wait to go back!
