Massachusetts is full of historic restaurants that invite patrons into a dining experience that began well before they were born.
These establishments boast rich history and culture, and remain open due to the delicious food that graces their menus. While there are a handful of Massachusetts eateries that have been in business for decades, only one has been open since 1887 and still stands to this day!
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most historic restaurant in Massachusetts is the Union Oyster House in Boston. This standout location was built in 1826 and continues to serve delicious oysters and other seafood dishes.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the oldest restaurant in all of Massachusetts:
"While there's some argument as to who exactly deserves the title of America’s longest continuously running restaurant, Union Oyster House, on Boston's Freedom Trail, is certainly a hot contender. The restaurant was established in 1826, but the building itself pre-dates the Revolution. As for the food, it is indeed an oyster house (and the freshly shucked namesakes are very good), but also sells a stellar selection of other seafood, including lobster and clams."
