Restaurants in Dorchester

“It's a small restaurant with a relaxed, informal atmosphere and very helpful and friendly staff. The food was special- so delicious that my husband, son and I agreed that this was our favorite restaurant. It appeared that other customers were having similar reactions, which added to a wonderful dining experience.”

“There were two of us and this was our first time at this restaurant. Therefore we ordered the Chef's Choice for Two. The food and the experience was nice but we needed a bit more to eat. We ordered their Beef Sushi which initially comes with the meal.
A bit pricey for what it is but also a bit touristy as well.”

“I had been looking for a new Viet restaurant for a just over a month now. I had their Banh Xeo and their sterfried grilled lemongrass Chichen, and let me tell you it delicious!! Great atmosphere too!”

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend their food:)”

“Stopped by since it’s right by my commute home and omg I didn’t think I would love it this much. Got the large tsunami platter and the corn and it was soo good! Absolute game changer for dinner nights out!!”

“Great food and great service! They were short staffed but Sean C. did an awesome job! The goat cheese and spinach Gnudi was delicious.”

“Love the food it so good !”

“Went today a Tuesday. Service was horrible and they were not busy. Waited 5 minutes before we walked up to a server to ask to be seated. Waited another 10 minutes for water , 10 more to order drinks, then 15 min to order apps. Apps came out before drinks which took about 20min to come out. Food was horrible. I don't know how you can mess up chips with salsa & guac or a chicken quesadilla flavor wise. Chips were overcooked. Quesadilla chicken was under cooked. Birria tacos were pure salt. Pico all we tasted was lime. Ordered a mixed drink but it was all liquor. Asked for a manager & told there was not one available. My birthday dinner ruined. As you can see from the pics we did not finish our main courses because they were not eatable. We did not take them home either. Great presentation but thats about all that was good.”

“Delicious delicious delicious. The rice was the perfect texture and intense of the flavor of true fresh chicken broth. The service was very friendly and quick, too. And to top it off the decor is cleanly contemporary. Bravo! I hope nyc gets one asap too!”

“An rat ngon👍👍😀cac ban oi. Mom nao cung ngon het”

“Bred is typically a lunch option to order at work so I have never actually been in person until last week. Decided to randomly stop in with my partner and the food was delicious! Had the jerk wings, cousin stizz fries and the 504. Definitely a must try!”

“This place always passes the vibe check and I always feel welcome. The food is well prepared and the presentation is always clean.”

“Everything. Friendly staff cold beer great food.”

“My pal Aidan brought me here. Whata hoot. This place rocks!

“The food there is excellent, and the service too... super recommended ? you can have a delicious meal with a glass of delicious wine and have a very pleasant time. I come back every time I can...!!!”

“Amazing little neighborhood spot with exceptional customer service. I wish this place was here years ago when I used to live in Dot. The ice cream is extremely high-quality as well. Highly recommended.”

“Terrific quality Central American food at just the right price. Great service, wide selection of foods all done right.

Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian options easily discernable

Parking: Street parking can be scarce. Do not park at the Burger King.

“10/10 ice cream and so many choices to choose from. Coffee Oreo and salted caramel truffle were truly so good. I can't wait to visit in store and get the full experience!”

“The restaurant is very familiar, not at all luxurious but has personality. The attendant, even though he didn't understand English very well, was super attentive. The food was extremely cheap and tasty, I saw that the cook has been at the restaurant for over 30 years, and it is a family business. There is no reason not to give five stars. Everything very satisfactory, I come back every week.”

“Stopped by today. Place is remodeled and clean. They have a few rice options, few meat options, bacalao, empanadas, plantations and cassava ready to go. I ordered a rice and beef plate, empanadas and a side of another rice. Everything was pretty good. Parking on side streets.”

“Huge variety of bubble teas, rolled ice creams and frozen drinks. I had a Mangonada with a tamarind stick and it DELICIOUS!!”

“First and foremost, I would like to say that the quesadilla exceeded my expectations. The reason I am giving it a 4 star is because I ordered a “quesobirria” only to find out that I had to order the Burria soup separately…. That was very disappointing. You guys should have it written in the description in DoorDash. Definitely would recommend and will order again”

“Love this place, close, convenient, friendly staff, busy, comfort food..great menu😋”

“My favorite Chicken spot ! Me and my cousin ?️ used to come here all the time since we were kids ! I had to stop by the other day! Love this place . See yall again real soon !”

“Aunt Vie’s Restaurant & Bakery does not disappoint! The Mac & cheese, rice and peas are my favorite sides. The oxtail is delicious. The baked goods especially the carrot cake - sooo good!! Still have lots of items to try on the menu😋😋. I highly recommend this spot! The service is also top notch. Every time I go I feel like I’m at my family’s house getting some food❤️”

“I was back in Adams Village today (my old neighborhood) and as I crossed Gallivan Blvd, my 4 year old said “mummy!!!!!!! look at the smiley faced balloons!!!” I pulled over and asked the woman at the register if she would be willing to sell me one of the balloons with my coffee order. She immediately cut one off and gave it to my little boy. It made his day, and the wonderful banana hazelnut coffee made mine. ❤️”

“Second time here ! First time I only enjoyed delicious espresso martinis! Tonight I sat down and had a wonderful meal ! I got the steak tips and my boyfriend got the bangers and mash! He also had a pint of Guinness and he said it’s probably one of the best he had here !! He’s from Ireland btw !!! Best of luck with everything can’t wait to check out the brunch !!!!”

“The bartender and the great food.”

“This was a very fun experience with good food, nice people and crave worthy dishes. We loved the conveyor offerings which are easy to grab and very fresh. The made to order items were delivered as promised, high quality and also very fresh. We will definitely be back and I hope soon, my friends and family need to see this restaurant and enjoy!”

“Great seafood platter, you get your money's worth and the food taste good, thank you for providing quality food service! I am a Boston native who lives in South Shore now and always makes to the trip in town to get my seafood platter from Vaughans!”

“Ordered a cake from here for my birthday and it was absolutely amazing!!! Ordering was simple and communication was easy and great as well as friendly staff. The cake was so pretty that I didn’t even want to cut it! Received so many compliments from looks to taste! I had a strawberry cake with strawberry filling. Will definitely order again for future parties. Thank you guys so much for my amazing cake!!!”

“The food is Delicious!!!!”

“this is our second time here and the food does not disappoint!! their patio is cute and cozy.”

“Savin came recommended in a restaurant group so we gave it a try tonight. It was my friend and I with 5 children from 4 to 14. I arrived first with my son and was promptly greeted by Brody (who also waited on us). I explained we had 5 kiddos and inquired if a booth was available. He brought us over to a half booth which was perfect. The booth as well as chairs were very comfortable. I asked if we could have the older 2 girls (both 14) sit at the table next to us (they enjoy doing this). He was so accommodating andhappily set us up. Water was brought over for all of us and he asked if we had any questions on the menu. He said he would give us a few minutes to make our selections and went to get the beverages we ordered. 5 minutes later he came back with drinks and asked if we were ready to order. I got the chicken penne and added shrimp. My friend got the buffalo chicken quesadilla. We usually order 2 items and split them. Both were delish and we really enjoyed both entrees. The older girls got the adult portion max and cheese, which was cavatappi pasta with a ritz breadcrumb. They both said it was perfect consistency and enjoyed it. 2 kiddos got the kids size mac and cheese (cavatappi pasta with cheese) and 1 got the pasta with red sauce. Decent portions for a kids meal. The atmosphere was very nice. The music selection was also great and perfect volume. Brody was absolutely wonderful. He was attentive, but never pushy. Service was definitely a 10/10. This was the first time we have been to Savin but we will definitely be back. We felt the check was very fair for 7 people. (I snapped a few quick pics which really don’t do it justice but…).”

“I just moved back to my home city Dorchester. Years back John Moran was the best of the best bartender we celebrated my cousin Danny 50 the upstairs in function room I was born and raised in Fields Corner and frequently ate with a group of Board Hangers and Mudders . Drywall Hanging. I remember the overfill plates of food and my first time ever eating (Ireland) parsnips. Still such a friendly and comfort atmosphere even though I don’t know anyone. Staff Friendly as well as patrons. Really good comfort food . I went St Patrick day one year Corned Beef and Cabbage!!”

“Stopped by for lunch and was very satisfied with the price and taste of the food and drinks. Good friendly employees in a nice
Clean updated brewery. Food was filling enough I had to save some for later. Will definitely return for a night out on the town.”

“I have been coming to Adam's fish market for many years and my family looong before me. Amazing people especially the older man. He's always pleasant, respectful and after all theses years loves what he does. Food is fresh and yummy, in my tummy. Although I like to try other food restaurants. This place will always be my favorite Seafood stop. (Hands down)”

“I really appreciate what you did for me. I am from Turkey and I was travelling in Boston in 2018. I had no money with me but still the woman prepared meal for me. It was really delicious by the way. And they are amazing people. I will never forget about you. Thank you so much. God bless you !!! <3”

“Good brunch good service m!”

“224 Boston St. was such a great dining experience. We are from So Cal and it was recommended by friends. The food was fantastic, the wine list was great, the restaurant has a lot of character and personality, the staff are friendly and engaging and tended to our needs. We actually ran into people we know so that made the experience even better! We definitely recommend 224 Boston St. to any visitors and locals!”

“Nothing fancy but the food is consistently good and the service is very attentive and it's always a pleasant experience.For a quick fried chicken fix, you can't go wrong here.”

“The food here is spectacular. At first I thought it was a bit pricey, but you certainly get what you pay for here. I'm in this area frequently and will be making this a place I go to regularly.”

“Tasty Dominican food con gran sabor! A must try. Tanto tiempo sin comerme unos buenos fritos😋”

“I have only done take-out, but you can also eat here. The jerk chicken is good, and I have also enjoyed the oxtail and curry goat. The fish dishes are also tasty. Not as many vegetable sides as I would prefer, but still enjoyable as a treat every now and then.”

“The Bahn MI was perfect, the beef Pho delicious and they had a wide variety of offerings. I'd say this is more of a take out place, than a sit down, but there are some places to take a seat.”

“I love this place. The food is really good wide range of dishes. It’s just a little difficult if you don’t speak Spanish, most of the workers speak Spanish. The last time I ordered a salad from the one on Blue Hill Avenue they forgot to put my dressing in the bag so I got home and had no dressing!

Vegetarian options: There are plenty of salads made up with different vegetables and or shrimp
You can get a veggie burrito veggie bowl

Parking: Parking horrible there’s probably only two spaces in front of the business on the side street. If you’re lucky you might be able to to get something. I hate to say it most people park but there’s a police station right there.”

“I was in Boston for a little while and this coffee shop was about 10 minutes away from my hotel by walking. I absolutely loved the pastries and coffee they had, very tasty. The women behind the counter were amazing and very helpful with coffee and the train lol.”

“The service was great!! Good customer service and didn’t have to wait long for my coffee or my breakfast sandwich �”

“The fellowship was beautiful and my dessert was just the right size. I think our waitress was overly taxed. The menu has a great variety to choose from. I like the beverage selection.”

“The food if fire and the staff speak enough English to get the job done that's how you k ow the food going to be fire when the staff only knows enough English to get you feed lol ..... seriously ”

“Good coffee and service. ..never had a bad cup of coffee out of there”

“Great food at reasonable prices. All ingredients are fresh and full of flavor, food prepared with care and consideration, and premises are clean and welcoming, albeit a little cozy on the inside”

The supervisor and employees are very friendly and have excellent service.

I recommend them.”

“My family loves the smoothies! My favorite is the brownstone and my son loves the berrylicious”

“Visited Olive Garden for first time. We were a large group of seven. Pleasantly surprised by ambiance, ability to accommodate all of us in a cozy corner, we had the space to ourselves. Kids friendly menu, ordering on tablet was convenient. Food was delicious and served with unlimited bread and soup as side. Recommend for family dinners and meals.”
