Ward 8 is a vibrant eatery known for its "great vibes" and lively atmosphere, especially when the windows are open during warmer months. The restaurant offers "amazing margaritas" and a diverse menu that ensures you "can't make a bad pick." While service can be inconsistent, the food consistently delights, making it a solid choice for pre-game meals or casual dining in the North End.

    So disappointed with our experience. Someone brought us a taco Tuesday menu 15 minutes after we ordered. I had ordered a grain bowl and asked if I could put Ahi tuna onto the bowl. Our server said she would check with the chef. I was delighted when the bowl came with the tuna, however we were charged for a full tuna sandwich and our server never told us about this charge my husband also ordered fish tacos and he was charged the higher price not the taco Tuesday price . We don’t mind paying an up charge if we were consulted or told that we would be paying a higher price, but that never happened.

    Food and beverages were good; however, one of the worst regular coffees I have had in a while. The staff and the team is extremely nice and attentive.

    What a great little place! Really enjoyed it, great atmosphere! Can be noisy and limited menu but I think there’s still a variety, burgers, salads, fish., ribs. The crab cakes and fish tacos were excellent. Quick service. Great before a game! I will be back!

    We waited 30 minutes before getting our drinks, while the table next to us was seated after us, and got their food and drinks. Also, we did not end up eating because our server never came back after asking us if we wanted brunch or dinner. He also never explained to us that the kitchen would close for a half an hour. So we missed the window to order. We ended up leaving after getting our drinks. Terrible communication by the server and the rest of the staff. Making a reservation for 2PM shouldn’t be allowed if your kitchen is going to close.

    We’ve been here many times for pre-game dinner but this was first time for Sunday brunch. Great service, brunch menu offered variety, and food was excellent. We will definitely go back for brunch again!

    I recently dined at Ward 8, and it wasn’t my first time visiting. As always, the food was excellent—flavorful and well-prepared, showcasing the consistent quality I’ve come to expect. However, the service was a bit rushed; our server seemed eager to take our full order quickly. Additionally, the dining area was uncomfortably warm and would have benefited from a fan or better ventilation. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable meal, and I’d return for the food.”
