Big Grin (The Lineup food hall)
About
Big Grin is a smash burger counter inside The Lineup, the food hall at Winthrop Center in downtown Boston. It serves American roadside classics with a contemporary twist and a deliberately short menu. The signature burger is a 3.5-ounce Black Angus patty smashed to order and topped with tallow onions, ripe beefsteak tomato, Patriot pickles, American cheese and Grin Sauce on an herb-toasted potato bun, and the menu also includes crinkle-cut fries.
The concept comes from Michelin-acclaimed chef John Fraser, who set out to reimagine American comfort food with careful sourcing and refined technique while keeping the simplicity of a classic burger stand. Beyond the namesake burger, the menu includes a double Big Bacon Burger with bourbon-glazed onions and maple-black-pepper candied bacon, plus an organic grilled chicken sandwich with Swiss and basil pesto. The restaurant pitches itself as a stop for a quick downtown lunch or a meal on the way home.
