Costello’s Tavern

Costello’s Tavern on Centre Street keeps dinner in familiar territory: burgers, wings and sandwiches, with beer and a neighborhood tavern setting to go with them. The menu includes a straightforward cheeseburger, a house tavern burger and a pulled pork sandwich. It’s an easy place to consider when the plan is a casual meal in Jamaica Plain and nobody needs a long explanation of the menu.

Wings make sense for the table, while a burger or sandwich can take care of your own dinner. Costello’s also offers pickup and delivery through its website, so you can bring the same order home. The food is the useful distinction here: you can plan on eating, rather than meeting for drinks and figuring out dinner afterward.
