Kingston Cuts Opens in Former Kingston Grille and Bar Space in Downtown Boston

A new restaurant that focuses in part on steaks and burgers has opened in downtown Boston, and it takes over another spot with a somewhat similar name.

The Tables section of The Boston Globe reports that Kingston Cuts is now open on Kingston Street, taking over the Kingston Grille and Bar space. The post mentions that the new spot offers steak frites and burger options, while its menu also shows such items as chili, sausage biscuits, wings and tenders, pasta primavera, macaroni and cheese, and grilled chicken breast.

The Kingston Cuts space had also been home to Kingston Station, which closed in 2015; Kingston Grille & Bar debuted the following year.

The address for Kingston Cuts is 25 Kingston Street, Boston, MA, 02111. Its website can be found at http://kgbboston.com/
