"Its big, red rooftop sign lights the way like the North Star, a landmark in the neighborhood, leading people to this rustic, buzzy space, where the New England staples (or, as the menu states, "Ye Olde New England Favorites") are a must: steamers, clam chowder, boiled stuffed lobster, baked beans, and Indian pudding."

Gil Garduno

"Dessert is your choice of hot Indian pudding (dessert porridge made from cornmeal and molasses served warm) or gingerbread. Indian pudding is an acquired taste, but it’s the essence of a Yankee dessert and should not be missed."

Mat Schaffer

"Of course, the country’s oldest continuously operated restaurant would feature America’s oldest dessert—a long-cooked confection of cornmeal, milk and molasses that is still a staple on many New England Thanksgiving tables. Eat it garnished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for maximum pleasure."

Susan Benner

"If oysters and Indian pudding are all you're after, try the oyster bar at The Union Oyster House."

Cheryl Fenton

"The Indian pudding was delicious, a warm corn meal mush heavy on the molasses and the whipped cream."

Steve James

"The Union Oyster House (America's oldest restaurant) in Boston is another place to experience traditional New England desserts. Indian pudding, considered an American version of the hasty pudding (usually made with wheat flour or oatmeal), in my opinion is not on nearly enough New England menus."
