Moogy’s in the News:

“These Are the Best Places to Get a Cheesesteak in Boston”, Boston Magazine, 4/21/2021
“We’re talking about Moogy’s, a Brighton mainstay for stoned college students and those of us who still love to eat like them. Its munchies-satisfying menu includes several crowd-favorite steak and cheese subs. You can dress up an original with ‘shrooms and sweet peppers, or opt for offerings like the Phat Philly, which arrives saturated in “cheez” sauce.”
“Moogy’s Boston”, Spotted By Locals, 5/15/2019
“Once you enter, customers will be quickly and pleasantly confronted with a shelf packed full of board games, a fish tank, and the opportunity to order $1 PBR drafts. Once you pick your seats, you’ll go up and order at a walk-up window. You can go for their extensive, all-day breakfast menu or their regular menu; both are hits in my book. While their vegetarian options are limited, you can’t go wrong with their veggie hoagie – fresh, delicious, huge, and the perfect thing to munch on while kicking butt in Candyland.”
“Boston College Where to Eat”, College Magazine, 10/25/2017
“Who doesn’t like to play board games while eating breakfast at 7 p.m.? Moogy’s, off-campus in Brighton, serves breakfast all day in a comfy setting with a variety of board games to test your competitive BC spirit. They also offer subs, wings and more if you aren’t feeling chocolate chip pancakes for dinner.”
“Welcome to the Neighborhood: Chestnut Hill Edition”, The Gavel, 7/12/2017
“This cozy Brighton eatery serves up breakfast food around the clock, while also famous for its subs and hoagies, $1 PBRs, and super chill vibes (including old-school board games to play while you wait for your order). Don’t miss their seasoned curly fries or corndogs—they’re hard to find elsewhere in Boston.”
“Eat Like An Elite: Louis Serafini”, Runner’s World, 4/7/2017
“There’s this hippie bar in Brighton, Massachusetts, called Moogy’s, and they make a sandwich called The Mother and Child Reunion, which is fried chicken and eggs. I’ll get that as a treat once a month.”
“Best Places To Forget You Ever Had A Meal Plan”, Boston College Off-Campus Blog, 10/27/2015
“This place is all about good vibes. With an extensive comfort food menu, board games, and all-day breakfast, it’s the perfect place to de-stress after classes.”
“A Guide to Boston Chefs’ Favorite Cheap Eats”, Boston Eater, 7/16/2015
“This sandwich-and-more shop with psychedelic signage is a favorite cheap pick of Justin Burke-Samson, owner of Trademark Tarts and Modern Gramma. ‘Hands down the place I turn to first is Moogy’s in Brighton,’ says Burke-Samson. ‘This was my college go-to place the morning after a night out — great dirty food and excellent weeknight specials.’
The restaurant offers specials like $1 pancake Mondays, $2 burger Tuesdays, and $0.50 wing Wednesdays. Plus, breakfast is served all day, providing an essential hangover cure any day of the week.”
“Which Moogy’s Sandwich Are You?“, BuzzFeed Community, 6/8/2015
“In the farthest reaches of Boston proper, there lies a sandwich shop where things are done a little different. It’s a place where you can get anything you’ve ever dreamed of on a cheesesteak, a place with dollar PBR drafts all the time, with ten varieties of French fries.”
“18 Diners, Drive-ins & Dives That Every BC Student Should Visit”, Spoon University, 5/5/2015
“Some unique features of this groovy place are $1 PBR drafts and your favorite childhood board games such as Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. They have many sandwiches to choose from, but I recommend the whacha-ma-callit omelette, with bananas and cheese. You won’t regret it.”
“Bye, BC Dining: A Guide to Off-Campus Eats“, The Rock at Boston College, 2/11/2015
“Their steak and cheese menu is off the chain—try a popular concoction like the Phantom Royale (steak and cheese with BBQ and onion rings) or the Cordon’s Cousin (grilled chicken, bacon, Swiss and ranch), or construct your own. Or try any one of their comfort foods: breakfast all day, ten different varieties of French fries, the choices are endless. For the over-21 set, PBR drafts are only a dollar all the time.”
“Better Brunching in Boston”, The Gavel, 11/3/2013
“This is perfect for those of you who want to leave campus but not go too far–Moogy’s is conveniently located on Chestnut Hill Ave. in Brighton. Though not quite Boston, this restaurant may be a bit easier if you have a lot of work ahead of you on Sunday. When you think Moogy’s, think French toast sandwiches and pancakes, pancakes, pancakes. The inside of the restaurant is small and cozy, lined with wooden booths and a long bar.”
“Getting to Know Your Neighborhood: Brighton”, BU Today, 7/12/2012
“Moogy’s, between Cleveland Circle and Brighton Center, is a Philadelphia-inspired sandwich shop known for inventive subs, casual atmosphere, and daily specials. Some of the standout subs: the Full Monty (steak, bacon, provolone, and barbecue), the BU (chicken, provolone, and American cheese), and the Jolly Green Giant (chicken, broccoli, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard).”
“Boston, Free and Easy (and Campus-Oriented)”, The New York Times’ Frugal Traveler, 11/8/2011
“On my way to Boston College, I stopped at Moogy’s, a sandwich shop and bar, for a turkey Reuben on buttery toasted marble rye, slathered with Russian dressing…”
“Board Games, Breakfast, and Beer at Moogy’s”, The Rock at Boston College, 9/20/2011
“But its decor proves that Moogy’s isn’t kidding when they say, ‘It’s all Good’. Although it is off the beaten path, the trip is absolutely worth it. Since opening nearly twenty years ago, this ‘sandwich shop’ has grown into a restaurant that knows how to bring the weird. Today, its menu has no bounds, offering an infinite combination sandwiches, all day breakfast, a 50 foot beer and wine bar, ten different types of french fries, and even the notorious ‘chocolate drink’ of our youth, Yoohoo.”
“Footlong cheeseburger: Why couldn’t they make it bigger?”, Christian Science Monitor, 7/13/2010
“Boston-area restaurant, Moogy’s, has been making their cheeseburger sub for years. And by the way, it’s 13 inches long – a baker’s foot, if you will.”
“The Greatest: Cheesesteak”, The Phantom Gourmet Guide to Boston’s Best Restaurants 2008
“Moogy’s is a funky storefront where college kids grab some grub, challenge each other to board games, and relax with a beer. It’s no place for health nuts, but Phantom loves the extensive menu of authentic Philly cheesesteaks. The basic blends two kinds of meat with provolone and American. But the Caped Critic’s favorite is undoubtedly the Phantom Royal with Cheese. It’s stuffed with onion rings and smothered with cheese. Moogy’s offers a dozen chicken steaks, rarities like the Reuben burger and the pizza burger, and breakfast all day.”
“RESTAURANT REVIEW: Moogy’s well worth the trip”, The Heights, 4/28/2005
“Moogy’s is really the kind of place that every college should have nearby, if not subsidize for the benefit of the student body. The low-key atmosphere, large menu, and friendly servers make for a thoroughly chill dining experience. Sitting back in the big wooden booths with eight of your closest friends, it’s easy to forget that you’ve got six papers due in the next 10 days. If you’re lucky enough to nab one of the games that are left sitting around (you have to love a place that supplies Connect Four), you’ll have no trouble passing the sometimes long wait for your food.”
“Twins make Brighton sub shop like no other”, The Boston Globe, 3/3/2004
“You could describe Moogy’s as a sub shop. But that would be sort of like calling the Mona Lisa a painting or Shakespeare a writer. You wouldn’t be wrong, but you wouldn’t quite capture its essence…”
