10 Best American Restaurants in Dorchester

“It is a nice place. Very clean and hospitable. The dish was American made with large portions and meals. The cheesecake was delicious. You would have gotten five stars, but you missed my vanilla ice cream request. The atmosphere around lunch or before dinner is pretty dry and quiet. My friend mentioned he has been to The Blarney Stone lots of times. It was my first visit. Thanks for the service and food. Happy New Year.“

“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…).“

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

“We were staying at one of the hotels near this gem of a spot and were able to conveniently walk to it. It was super easy to get a table for 4. Loved the quiet atmosphere and warm vibes. The drinks were good. The 4 of us each ordered something different and all thoroughly enjoyed! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a before we ate photo so quickly snapped these two. We ordered the short ribs which came out not quite as hot as we would’ve hoped. The flavors were good though. The meat was extremely tender. We ordered the pork chop with scalloped potatoes and brussel sprouts. Excellent. My husband ordered the bolognese and enjoyed his as well. We also ordered the chicken Parmesan which was a good size portion, flavorful and hot. Three of the four dishes came out piping hot which is wonderful! Highly recommend this little neighborhood restaurant.“

“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“

“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.“

“It was an amazing experience.
Got the 1/2 price appetizers, cheese sticks and nachos with cream.
Main dish Chicken breast with mashed potatoes and broccoli.
Everything is so delicious, a real meal, just be aware of the peppers.“
