About Fibber McGee’s

Fibber McGee's Bar and Grill in Beverly, Massachusetts is a locally-owned-and-operated restaurant and bar that offers delicious American and Irish favorites, such as Buffalo wings, hamburgers, nachos, and shepherd's pie.

Hey I wonder if they got their name from that old radio show?

That said, we went there looking for a good burger. The word on the street is that they have one of the best burgers on the North Shore.

So, thanks to Steve, who had a coupon, the three of us went there on Saturday night.

Three things before we get to the food:

*First, the parking was not a problem; we got a spot right out front.

*Second, although the place was busy, we got a table right away.

*Third, they have a good selection of beer and cider on tap. (Steve was very happy.)

Now, onto the food.
We start out with some traditional chicken wings with a wing sauce of PB&J. Yes, PB&J chicken wings. The wings had peanut butter sauce on them, and they were served with a jelly-type dipping sauce. I have never had peanut butter and jelly wings before and although these were sweet and very rich, These were very good! But you are not going to down a lot of these in one sitting.

The wife orders the house-roasted, shredded turkey melt with Swiss cheese, spinach, tomato on a garlic-butter-toasted sub roll and a salad.

The turkey was a little dry, but not horrible. Overall, it was not a bad sandwich. I don’t think she’d put it on her list of great sandwiches, but it wouldn’t be on her bad list either.

Next Steve had the PB&J Bacon Burger with chipotle peanut sauce, strawberry balsamic, cheddar jack, lettuce, sliced tomato, and red onion. He got the onion rings.

This burger was good, but like the wings, it was very decadent.

He said that the burger would have been better if he just had different wings as an appetizer.

Now I had the Guinness Burger.

On it, the burger had Guinness stout sautéed onions, cheddar jack, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and pub-style Guinness mustard. I ordered onion rings on the side.

This was a good burger, but again, with everything on it, it was very heavy.

If I had made it, I may have tried a pickle or something on it to cut a little of the richness out. That might have balanced the flavors better to me, so that I got a sour tang amongst the savory taste of the burger, cheese, and onions.

Overall, it was a good burger, not the best burger I have had but still a good burger.

Also, Steve and I both agreed that the onion rings were excellent.

For me, Fibber McGee’s is worth the visit. It is a nice pub with good beer and good bar food. And, to answer the question if they have the best burger on the North Shore?

I cannot answer that question. Yet!
