Restaurants in Dorchester

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

“Britani was awesome. Came on a Friday night with my best friend and she took great care of us. We had great service and the food was amazing. Will definitely be back!”

“Delicious food and one of my favorite places to get brunch. Easy to make a reservation and the food is definitely memorable and worth the trip to try. Parking is on the street and isn’t too hard on weekend mornings.”

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

“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. 💚”

“Everything. Friendly staff cold beer great food.”

“Had great service and an even better experience with Romain and Zeniya (sorry if misspelled). Not only did they work well together, but they also worked well with me and my group. If you’re looking for the best dirty soda maker @ Crumbl it’s Zeniya!”

“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!”

“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.”

“Incredible restaurant. The food was great and the atmosphere is very relaxing.”

“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)”

“Food was quick and tasty! Staff was very attentive and helpful when asked any questions. Loved that the large windows could fold open to the point of being able to walk through them!”

“Phenomenal staff and incredible food!”

“The bartender and the great food.”

“Love the monthly rotation of empanadas”

“Arrived at 7am when it opened, all seats were available. We were greeted by a friendly gentlemen and had a choice of any seat since we were their only customers. We had a breakfast burrito and the breakfast maddness. pistachio french toast was delicious. Parking was in the plaza - no problems here. Staff seems friendly.”

“If you ever have a taste for seafood Vaughn's is the best hands down I have got hooked on this place can't no one els Do It Like Vaughn's no one they are the best hands down #1 spot”

“Munchie Station is delicious Dominican American fusion comfort food. Sauces are the stronghold. Order ahead to cut wait times. Take out only BTW. Owners run a good and responsible business - well liked by the community - and you can tell they put everything into it.”

“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…).”

“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 had the most exceptional experience. I had the pleasure of speaking to some awesome people. That didn’t get upset with my unique order. The courtesy and patience, was above and beyond. The young man that delivered my food. Made my day. Needless to say, the food is always delicious.”

“I had an incredible experience with the restaurant and specifically our waitress Chrissy. She was incredibly attentive, personable and knowledgeable of the menu offerings.”

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much”

“It's a total hole in the wall, but has the best Chinese in the neighborhood. The Singapore Noodles are a must. If you've never had them, you owe it to yourself to stop by and give them a shot. You can thank me later!”

“Totally delicious— every single thing. The owners are so nice and welcoming and you can tell they really care. We had take-out but can’t wait to sit on the rooftop deck w some Dorchester Brewing.”

“Olive garden is a nice,neat, beautiful, and affordable place to eat meal or take out. The prices are greatly okay. I really like the food and services there. Thanks.”

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Down Home Delivery for a catering event at Harvard Business School, and I can honestly say Gale and her entire team were absolutely amazing.

Everything was organized exceptionally well from start to finish. Communication was smooth, professional, and very transparent throughout the entire process. Gale was incredibly responsive — she even replied to late-night emails, which really showed her dedication and commitment to outstanding service.

The entire experience exceeded expectations. The food was delicious, the execution was flawless, and the level of professionalism was top-notch. I’m truly glad I had the opportunity to work with Down Home Delivery and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional catering and event support.”

“The Tsunami is absolutely yummy and so creamy! I can eat a whole pint!”

“I love this ice cream shop! Staff is very friendly and efficient. There are so many flavors you cannot go wrong choosing any of them. But the smoothies are definitely where it is at!”

“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful people working here!”

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

“Stopped at Raymundo's for the first time today and LOVED the food. The family got pupusas and I had the lengua torta. The pupusas were the best we have had in a while, stuffed to the edges. The torta was exactly what I needed, amazing portion and the bread was soft and toasted perfectly.

The only critique is that on a hot day the dining room (window high top) was too hot to dine in, we took it to the car.”

“Oasis food was very delicious me n my husband ate there yesterday an had to try it again today it’s a must try. Great environment great employees but it’s very hot in the building I hope they get blessed with some ac cause it would definitely be a great eat in spot”

“excellent food great service”

“I haven’t seen a more familiar and yet surprising experience at what seems like a quaint indian restaurant like fiskies. Truly ate my heart’s content and felt homesick and like family at the same time.”

“New location, bigger space. The coffee was a little on the sweet side but still delicious. The banh mi was HUGE and so was the banh xeo and they were sooooo good, bang for your buck type of thing. 🫡”

“Love the food it so good !”

“Food quality was amazing.

This is undoubtedly one of the better VNmese restaurants in Boston. They offer a diverse menu with a few dishes that you rarely find in Boston.

We came in a party of 3 and ordered 3 bowls of Bun Bo Hue, which were amazing, steamed rice rolls (Banh Cuon Nong) and a Hen Xuc Banh Da (A13). The Banh Cuon Nong and Hen Xuc Banh Da were SPECIAL and comforting! We had a fulfilling, quality meal without breaking the bank.

First of many times here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“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! ❤️👏🏾👍🏾”

“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!”

“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.”

“pricey but thats what you get when you pay for quality ingredients. good eats”

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

“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. ❤️”

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

“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.”

“Once again Antonio's has not done me wrong. Everything that I order from there is delicious. The food is wonderful and the wait time for the food is minimal. Trust and believe if you order from Antonio's you won't be disappointed.😋”

“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 food and service were both exceptional. I want to visit this place everytime I visit Boston from now on. Best quesa birria ever! I loved the decorations as well. Staff was really nice. Not terrible prices, considering the food was so high quality.”

“Im not sure if this is the same ADK shop in roxbury by Mt Pleasant St, but if it is i went there today on a whim. I was hungry after an 11 hour work day. Doing laundry next door and decided to stop by.
I asked the gentleman at the counter if they did Tripleta sandwiches as they weren't on the menu. He didnt hesitate to say yes and in 10 minutes chuffed me up the BEST SANDWICH I have ever eaten in my life. The meat was tender and rich, the pepper jack cheese had the perfect kick, the red onions and mayo perfectly went with the sandwich. I had to go back just to let the only guy working he did amazing. Im just your average white guy who was more than impressed by this sandwich. I highly reccomend.”

“Good people and great food.”

“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😋”

“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”

“Always a great time when we go”

“The food is Delicious!!!!”

“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.”

“This is what I wrote 3 months ago in my review. So I am here now eating at Puritan Pizza and it’s also my first time eating here as well. I got Alfredo with Shrimp, Broccoli, Mushrooms, and Chicken. My meal is very creamy and delicious! I am hoping to try their pizza next time I come here. ❤️🍕”

“Gorgeous old building with a cool saloon vibe. Their chicken salad is killer and so is the coffee. The owners are also lovely and friendly. They keep the music pretty quiet so it’s also a good place to sit down and do some work.”

“New York chicken is the only place where you can find center breast which is the best part of the chicken one little bone or meat. I get this place a three out of five.”

“this was so good and fast!”

“Popular VN bubble tea place at Adams St and Park in Dorchester (Boston). With a good variety of VN speciaty sweet drinks and smoothies, pancakes and other side dishes. Clean, bright with some tables for dining in. Prices start at $6 USD for a small drink to $9, $10+ for large size. They have reward points for all their shops in the franchise.”

“Mike and Maria are so respectful and helpful. Their food is delicious and I get it all the time, it’s affordable and the restaurant itself is kept clean.”

“Never disappointed! Both locations always get it right”

“always find new oils and incense. have selection of other items.”

“Love this Dunkin, I go here all the time. The woman working there is the best. I think she is the owner/manager. She very friendly and nice. Best Dunkin around. 10 stars.”

“Rosalyn helped make our experience fantastic! She managed to have a positive and meaningful interaction with each customer on a busy morning & it’s honestly rare to see someone share so much joy in their work. Food & drinks were good and store was clean!”

“Place is solid. If you’re looking for a “no-bs-this-is-boston” pizza joint, this spot hits. Order a large cheese pie, pay very little, be happy.”

“Super authentic banh mi joint. So authentic you're going to have to point at things if you don't speak Vietnamese. Service workers from the surrounding area go there for lunch so you know it can't be bad. Those guys don't mess around with lunch.”

“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”

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

“This is one of the best places to eat in Dorchester.

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

I recommend them.”

“Good service from staff and all that but really didnt like the fact people were hanging out in the front asking for change and cigarettes and stuff I know its hard to get rid of but it just gives the place a bad look.”
