Great spot in Charlestown. Food and drinks were excellent. We started with the popcorn chicken, which was a solid appetizer, and had a couple of tequila mules that were very good. We ordered two pizzas—buffalo chicken and prosciutto—and both were really good.
The vibe on a Friday night was on point: busy and lively without feeling overcrowded. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely be back.

My first time here, was surprised finding a coffee shop and a full restaurant all together, pretty cool.
You either enjoy a coffee with pastry or a full meal.
Had the freshest oysters, a delicious lunch and Bloody Mary was on point!
Liked their setup and how bright it is because of all the many high windows.

I ended up here after going to Winter Fest… The gentleman who was seating people was able to seat us even though we did not have a reservation…. he was so personable and you could tell he enjoyed his job…. the food was amazing…. I got the winter sangria, poke nachos and Thanksgiving spring rolls with cranberry Mayo… so good… I definitely will be back….

My fiancé planned my engagement and dinner here and the team at this restaurant went above and beyond. Chris, the manager, helped coordinate plans with my fiancé the entire day and somehow managed to make it all happen with only a few hours notice (and on Valentine’s Day).
When we arrived, the staff had a private table for us with a beautiful set up and they even provided complimentary champagne. It was such a thoughtful gesture. On top of that, Chris then generously comped our entire meal, which we truly did not expect. Our appetizers and meals were great and they had tons of drink options and specials.
We’ll definitely be back here to celebrate more milestones in the future. Thank you again to Chris and the whole staff for your kindness and making our night so special for us!

Came here on a whim on a Saturday night. I really liked the ambience: it was pleasantly busy with background noise but not too loud. The food was solid (classic American food).

It would be impossible to list all the reasons you should try Tradesman. The menu has something for everyone, but includes seasonal changes. Staff are incredibly friendly and professional. Whether coming by yourself, or planning a work function, shower, or party, you will not be disappointed.

Edited review after second visit: upping to five stars. We had an awesome dinner and Rosalia was a really nice server. We got the poke nachos, blackened chicken Caesar salad, and the crispy fried chicken sandwich. All was super tasty.
Original review: For now four stars, more like 4.5, since I went only for coffee and mini donuts. I’m going to edit my review when I eat here because the restaurant looks very nice too. Iced latte was strong and yummy and the mini donuts were fun to try! Other baked goods and sandwiches looked awesome as did the interior decor. Excited to find this place close to home while I was getting my hair cut next door. Back for dinner soon!

Went to Tradesman for brunch for the first time today and…. WOW!! The service was phenomenal, the ambiance and decor were incredible, and the food was magnificent! Everyone there was so friendly and welcoming. We were seated quickly, even though we arrived 15 mins early for our reservation.
For food, my husband and I had the mini donuts (6 total), poke nachos, popcorn chicken, smoked bacon Benedict, a piece of fried chicken, and egg whites with vegetables (comes in pie-like piece).
For drinks we each had a latte and espresso martini. The latte was hands down the BEST LATTE I’VE EVER HAD! Any coffee that I have from now on will be disappointing compared to what I had at Tradesman. And the espresso Martini was out of this world!
Small details, such as the decor, food presentation, and the cocktails menu were some of the many things that made Tradesman stand out to us! I can say that this will be one of my favorite go to restaurants moving forward. I’ve already booked reservations to go again with a close friend! I would definitely come back and recommend this spot to anyone looking for amazing food and service.

Atrocious service… didn’t get water refilled even once, though restaurant was essentially empty. Was told they didn’t have coffee or cappuccino anymore but could make me an Irish coffee (due to alcohol overcharge). Nice atmosphere and food wasn’t bad, but they clearly are not interested in repeat customers.

The Tradesman Charlestown is outstanding! Everything I had at this place was tasteful and well seasoned. My favorite dish is the steak and cheese quesadilla. I would honestly say the best in Boston. The staff is also friendly and caring. They are so attentive to details, specially Valentina, Ruben and the manager. Every time we go there we are welcomed and treated so well. I could not recommend it enough.
