9 Best American Restaurants in Dorchester

“The atmosphere is your typical pub/bar. The staff was very accommodating as we were with a larger group. Food was quick and tasted good.

Parking: The only parking is street parallel parking. As someone who doesn't parallel park or drive much in the city it was a challenge for me to find a spot. We circled the block a few times before finding something.

Kid-friendliness: They do have a kids menu and some great pizza options.“

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

“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…).“

“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!“

“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!“

And they are amazing people. I will never forget about you. Thank you so much. God bless you !!! <3“

“Me and my husband and daughter had an amazing experience it was my daughter’s 13th birthday .And our waiter Ariel was incredible he was very friendly and always checking in with us making sure everything was okay. We sat near the bar so my husband could watch the game and Ariel even put it on one of the tvs so he could see. He went above and beyond to make our experience top tier. I wasn’t able to leave a review survey on the kiosk but he deserved the acknowledgment. And the food and drinks were amazing. Thanks again“

“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.“
