Help! Around BU Agannis Arena this evening!

Taking my son and his friends (16 year olds) to the BU-Harvard Game...would like to park at the arena...and go someplace close by for great burgers, mexican, or something like that?

Anything great in the area?

Thanks in advance!

    If you're want a fast, cheap, non "sit down" (no waiter) kind of place, there's always UBurger. I'm sure you wont get any complaints from the 16 yr olds.

      Second vote for Sunset Cantina, it's nice and close, has a good variety of food, and makes decent enough food. There will definitely be things on the menu that your son and his friends will like. The pizza place T. Anthony's across Comm Ave is fine, too, nothing too special but OK subs and pizza. Have fun at the game!

          thanks for the input...the Sunset Cantina was already recommended by a friend off the board, so that's looking like the right call...now haut cuisine, but will get the job done today.

          Sixteen year olds generally like the type of food they serve at the Sunset Bar and Grill. Think Border Cafe or its like. I suppose the food is fairly decent...tex mex, cajun, and pub food...nothing to wow an advanced a palette but I wouldn't call it horrible. It's across the street from the arena.

          There are a few better options a bit further down. I really like Brown Sugar Cafe for dependable if Americanized Thai food in a decent atmosphere. As a somewhat different alternative, the food court at Super 88 is fun and has a lot of different asian options...Thai, Vietnamese, Indian, Taiwanese, Indonesian, etc.
