This is the busiest food court I have ever seen. Lots of choices but ….. there is no where to sit to eat your food. After searching for a table before purchasing food we gave up and left. You need.... more

Fun place for a quick visit nothing to write home about. Some good tourist shops for some goodie’s but other than that it’s more of a mall food court 🙄

Amazing food vendors. Awesome stores. Great foods. Wasn't too crowded but it was still crowded on a Friday afternoon. The entire market was surprisingly clean. But the bathrooms were not, especially in the men's bathroom. It is a public area so no surprise. Each vendor has their own unique type of foods as well. The clam chowder is excellent from any of the vendors. Didn't have a bad experience with any of the clam chowder. The lobster rolls were great but expect to pay $30+ for lobster rolls. The seafood here is expensive. Expect to spend easily over $50 for food. Overall, a cool place to check out but don't forget to budget in the parking lot fee if you're on a budget.

This is a really cool place in Boston. They have so many food options. It’s like a food market. And the building is really nice. Only thing they don’t have enough seating options. The day we went it was very crowded we didn’t find any chair. Difficult to find parking near by. You have to park far and walk. But worth going there.

A great fun spot with live entertainment, lots of shops for accessories, Boston gifts and food (Chowda, seafood, sandwiches, ice cream etc). Lots of parks and historical sites are close by too, making it a great place to stop by. When we went, there was a live dance and magic show. There is also a dinosaur ride here which is exciting and fun for kids. If you want to buy Boston gifts, the stalls are cheaper for shirts and caps (but variable prices) while the shops have more options.

Love this place. Quincy market is the best. Recommended for visitors and locals. I can get my pizza, lobster roll, candy apple and cannoli fix all in one spot!!! And last time I went they had live music which was super cool!!

This is definitely a must see if you ever visit Boston. It is surrounded by a ton of history & has a ton of food inside. How can you go wrong with that? From fresh seafood like the hot butter lobster rolls, which are fantastic to pizza, sausage, oriental, BBQ, ice cream & so much more. You will definitely find something that you like!!!
