“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful people working here!”

“Went for lunch, last Friday. I have to say it was awesome. Our Waitress was so friendly, she checked on us a few times to make sure we had, or needed anything. My sister, and I am telling everyone to go over to McGonagle's Pub in Dorchester, and give it a try. We will be back there soon. 💚”

“Grabbed a quick order on a hot day, but the tacos were so fresh and delicious they were refreshing. Won't break the bank either, thanks guys! ❤️👏🏾👍🏾”

On top of the amazing food, the atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is friendly!! Highly recommend if you’re looking for one of the best burgers around! 🙌🍔”

“A wonderful gem of a place to get delicious Caribbean foods, desserts, and drinks. Chester and his staff are very friendly and professional. The vibe is relaxed and easy paced. You can eat-in or take out.”

“Love the food it so good !”

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

“I went back with a friend, reluctantly after bad experience with Emily the manager, and was greeted with the warmest, friendliest smile by an Divine an employee there! She showed me how to order, recommended some delicious cookies, and helped me sign up for the Crumble Cookie rewards! She even engaged with my child and my niece with special needs! They loved her so much they asked can they move there...lol! Thank you for an amazing experience Divine!”

“Everything. Friendly staff cold beer great food.”

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

“Absolutely love this place and it’s staff! The ice cream is delicious and there is a huge selection of flavors. The ice cream sandwiches are to die for. They are made with homemade cookies, so delicious. Maggie is crushing it! The owner Matthew is so kind and friendly and openly invites suggestions! **Allergy friends, they keep all nuts separate from everything else in the back. We were very pleased. We’ve already made two trips this week!!”

“The food is delicious. Menu prices on google are not accurate tho, I paid 50% more than is listed here. Not the staff's fault. Service was friendly and patient.”

“They have the best ice cream and the customer service is top tier”

“King Do has recently moved to a new location, and the space is now much larger, cleaner, and more airy. The menu still offers a wide variety of options, and the food remains just as delicious and affordable as before. The highlights for me are definitely the pennywort drink and the mung bean milk—both are refreshing and a must-try.”

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

“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!”

“Delicious! Burgers & Cousin Stizz fries were so good!”

“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)”

“The best bar in Dorchester! I was visiting the neighborhood on a Sat. night from out of town, and the bartender and clientele were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They even brought in pizza from next door and shared it with everyone. :)

Thank you for your generosity!”

“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.”

“Friendly staff, welcoming environment, great drinks!!!”

“If you love fried catfish and don’t mind rolling it yourself, it’s delicious here! It’s definitely a mom-and-pop spot. Service can be a bit slow, so don’t come in hangry.”

“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. ❤️”

“My favorite thing about this restaurant is the fact that BEEF sushi is served. As someone who doesn't like seafood, it's great to be able to enjoy eating here with friends who do. All of the beef options are delicious and it's fun being able to look for it on the revolving track. Their desserts are also delicious (though few), and the servers are all very friendly. It's very easy to not overeat here and to be able to decide how much you're going to spend.”

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

“Small business that serves many Spanish food options. I usually go for the Spanish rice with baked chicken but most of the time I go they usually only have the smaller fried chicken. The service is great. Quick and efficient selection style eating and you can get different plate sizes with the options you want. Small indoor sit-down eating with 3-4 tables but a good choice for take out lunch options.”

“Love the monthly rotation of empanadas”

“Great pizza and fun atmosphere. Highly recommend for both locals and if you’re passing through. I stopped her with my husband and we had great food and service.”

“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”

“Always a great time when we go”

“I can't believe I hadn't been here sooner!! Stopped for take out for the first time this week and service was quick, warm and friendly.

I beelined it for the BIRRIA TACOS which had excellent reviews online and I now agree and award Dora's with the OVERALL BEST COMBO AWARD (if there was one 😂).

Amazing. Filled (yes, filled) with juicy meat, no meat fat to ruin a random bite of your food, cheese and all other simple, delicious goodness. Then, the consume is actually perfectly tasty 😭 you'll want to dip your tacos in it constantly just bc you couldn't possibly think of letting it go to waste!

Looking forward to many returns 😉

P.s. Sweet plantains on the side is the cherry on top 😋”

“Good people and great food.”

“this was so good and fast!”

“The food is Delicious!!!!”

“Great Banh Mi's, great staff. The owner may seem mean but that's just his resting face, he's cool. I've been going here for 15+ years.

They supply bread to local restaurants, that's how good they are.”

“The bartender and the great food.”

“Had the chicken piccata. The chicken was thicker than what is usually served at other restaurants; so the sauce which was really delicious didn't get absorbed into the chicken. The portions were generous and staff very friendly.”

“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”

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right”

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

“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”

“food is always amazing, hot, and fresh, customer service is always good, employees are nice, environment can be a bit more modern though, maybe a renovation? Or not, doesn’t matter.”

“Munchi Station in Dorchester is one of those spots that actually delivers on what you expect from a fast-casual concept.

The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well put together — not rushed or sloppy like you’d normally see in this category. You can tell there’s intention behind the menu and how everything is assembled.

Service is quick but still attentive, which is not easy to balance. The staff keeps things moving without making you feel like just another order in line.

The space itself is clean, organized, and has a solid vibe. It feels like a place you can stop by for something quick, but also sit and actually enjoy your food.

If you’re around Dorchester and want something reliable, well-executed, and worth your money, this is a spot you shouldn’t skip.

Definitely coming back.”

“Marcus was really amazing. He helped me select a good sandwich. He brought positivity in my drastic morning so decided to leave this review. If anyone visits dont forget to tip him cause he seems very sweet”

“This is a family owned Vietnamese restaurant and grocery. The food was delicious. Both the beef and chicken sandwiches were fantastic. The service was solid.

Wheelchair access was easy.”

“I really enjoyed Pete’s Pizza & Seafood. I tried the Hawaiian pizza and the pepperoni pizza, and both were delicious. The Hawaiian had the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the pepperoni was full of flavor. The crust was fresh and crispy.
The service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be coming back”

“This is my go-to coffee shop every single day! I live a 2 minute walk from Sugar Bowl and the first time I tried it, I was a bit unsure. I got hot chocolate the first time but after that I started trying their coffees. The almond joy is the best. Ava (the barista) is a fantastic worker and super friendly, and Kathy (one of the owners) is super nice and hardworking 😊 I love this place!”

“Food was delicious make your own plate of food. Took my food to go, hard to find parking. I would go here again for lunch. It's not a sit down and eat establishment.”

“I’ve been eating at Vaughn since I was a little girl. I am 37 years old and still crave some vaughn. Food always fresh & fried hard to my liking. The girl that lied stating their fish is dry and they didn’t give you no tar tar sauce but it’s in the picture you took, YOU ARE GOOFY!!! Stay away trying to bring their ratings down. Not cool at all.”

“Our first time here and can’t recommend this place enough! Everyone is extremely welcoming! I’m assuming it was the owner that brought the kids an appetizer on the house with a big smile and high fives! HOW COOL! The flavor was amazing! Service was great thank you guys!!!!!!”

“I've been to Applebee's before and I had a lot of fun this one in particular was better I had my first Grand Marnier ever and the hostess kind of had a lot of fun with me about it made worth your her good tip worth it”

“Lovely place!

Went there with my dad for the first time and had a really good night. The food was insane, we had one of the soups too and I was honestly already full by the time the main course arrived lmao.
The waitress was incredibly sweet and helpful, which is very welcome, especially these days were people may occasionally forget manners. Even when we're having a bad or stressful day, a simple smile can change everything imo, so huge thanks to Abby!”

“Chef Mike was very cool and gave me a Jamaican drink that was very good.
Food is amazing!
I'll try oxtail next time.
Price is fair for the portions and great atmosphere”

“One of my favorite fried chicken spots. The taste is always amazing—crispy, fresh, and full of flavor. Whenever I visit Boston, this is a must-stop place for me. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great fried chicken.”

“I love this place so much! I have been coming here for years & it's like the food the vibes just keep getting better. Geo and his wife Candace deserve their flowers bc they did their biggest one with this spot.”

“hands down one of the best spots to dine in dorchester. LOVE the salt and pepper lobster that is offered there. Every dish that we've order so far been clutch. mind you, its a 45-1hr trip(2hrs back and forth) and its worth every minute!!!”
