“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“

“Love the monthly rotation of empanadas“

“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.“

“Jennifer was perfect! She made sure to get our drinks out in a timely manner and didn’t stop checking on us to make sure everything was okay with our food. She is such a good waitress! Very kind and dedicated to making customers feel comfortable and valued“

“fast and efficient customer service. Definitely recommend the Hamburger and fries“

“Heard about this burger joint...AND I wasn't disappointed, in fact it will probably take me a few months to eat my way through their eclectic menu and no doubt I'll enjoy the ride. Burger was excellent, but the caveat was the cole slaw, NOT your store bought or KFC, this was truly a chef Michelin rated green/purple slaw with an incredible dressing. To top it off, you have to eat the fries.... I didn't ask, but they seemed to be riced then fried...5*****“

“Coming from Ireland we have little to no 'fast food' plant based options like this so I was excited to try! I got one of the regular burgers, the mac and cheese and the fries. The burger was excellent, I couldn't fault it. the Mac and Cheese was also very tasty. Not overly gone on the fries but still nice!“

“First time at Cityside last night and it was great! The Nachos were so good I wish we had gotten a large, the buffalo wings had a nice crisp to them which made them amazing. For entrees I had the fish tacos which were good but not all that and my fiancé had the cheesesteaks which can’t be compared to cheesesteaks on the North shore but still good. The drinks were good but pretty pricey. My fiancé liked every drunk he got besides the Mai Tai. It was super nice being on the roof top which made the entire night 💕 I definitely would recommend.“

“My opinion is 9.6/10. Came here because of man vs food did the 2 lbs burger. This place till this day has the juiciest burger meat I ever had was literally dripping down my arm, but not only juicy flavorful and highly enjoyable. I don't like Boston, as a NYer but this place is the only reason I would ever go back. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“A real Boston Irish pub! Not tacos or pasta here like alot of the others. Only pub we go to in Boston.“

“Best burger in Boston !!!“

“Josephine is a solidly good Italian restaurant. The location, vibes, and service were perfect. The space is massive which feels incredible rare for a restaurant in Boston nowadays.

Came here at 5:45 before a 7pm show and our server, Alexis, was really accommodating and friendly about making sure things came out in a timely manner without it feeling rushed. He even dropped off the check at 7pm on the dot.

Now the food is where I have my complaints. At a baseline, it’s all good but it could’ve been better with just minor tweaks. The mozzarella sticks for example, the batter was too thick, reduce that by like 50%. The pizza needed to be cooked just a smidge longer because the crust fell through immediately. Then the chicken parm which is the size of a Ford F150 needed to pounded much thinner. The hashbrowns needed more of the cacio e Pepe sauce.“

“Holy moly! Rainy first night in Boston staying up the way at the Commonwealth we visited the Kenmore. Nathan took great care of us. Solid pour at the bar. Can I say enough about the K Burger? Likely not other than the first bite blows your mind. Quality over everything else. Great spot, will be back tonight and tomorrow night looking for Sturgill Simpson fans.“

“Blows away fancy burger joints at almost half the price.“

“Great burger! Friendly, attentive staff. Thank you for a great day out!“

“Burgers are the best! Service is always friendly absolutely my favorite!!!!!“

“What a fun place!! Like stepping back in time in the best sense and the food and service and everything is top notch. We will definitely be back!!“

“The gentleman working inside the truck is the absolute best and so funny. The food is top notch, and the shakes are out of this world. I highly recommend this food truck!!“

“Haven't been to this place in years but, boy sm I glad I did. Got a steak onion and cheese sub at 8 AM, because I could order that at what would be other shops " Breakfast only" time. Nice soft roll ,steak NOT chopped to oblivious gravel like other shops. This spot IS the spot for a steak and cheese . I'm gonna go back and try all the ol standards again done right. Kudos. Can't wait to try a simple hit dog. Believe it or not, people screw that up . But according to the reviews I've seen, they're done just right. It's really nice to know that these non pretentecious simply good food places still do exist.“

“Food is great!“

“Very good, But I don't want to hamburger anymore“

“Roxy’s food truck catered an event at my job today and it was amazing. Between the grilled cheese selection, tomato soup, and tater tots it’s hard to pick a favorite. They were all amazing! The hot honey grilled cheese with bacon was addictive! Their team that did the set up and catered the event were so nice and friendly. If you get the chance to try their food do it! It will not disappoint.“

“Best burger in town and I love the sweet potato fries!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The Shannon Tavern is hands-down one of the best bars in South Boston!

Don’t let the “dive bar” label fool you—this place has an atmosphere that’s second to none. It’s family-owned and operated, and you can feel that personal touch the moment you walk in. The bartenders are incredibly friendly, and the patrons are just as welcoming. Whether you’re a regular or it’s your first time, you’ll feel right at home here.

It’s a spot with a lot of heart and zero pretension—a rare find these days. If you’re in the area and looking for a place with great vibes and even better people, The Shannon Tavern is it. Highly recommend stopping by for a drink (or two)!“

“I’ve been coming here since it first opened and the food is consistently great. The best chicken I’ve ever had. If I’m not physically here, I’m either door dashing or uber eats. Customer service is friendly, especially Tatiana. Never a miss here. Highly recommend.“

“** AMAZING ** burger(s). Why isn’t this place PACKED!!?…. Got the “Wellington” burger with the most AWESOME onion rings of my lifetime - PERFECTLY MADE and PRESENTED WITH FLAIR! Stunningly delicious combo of flavors with the crumbled blue cheese dressing and lime….. WHO KNEW. ** LOVED EVERYTHING **. Well done, Gordo!!“

“We got the Cuban and their popular burger. I think the Cuban far outweighed the burger on flavor punch. The fried pickles were delicious, home battered, not frozen from Sysco. Only gripe was our table and another table next to us waited for 10+mins to pay our check at the end of the night. It was busy so I understood but they needed an extra set of hands.

Would highly recommend to anyone, and I hope to return.“

“Family-run establishment serving quick and delicious meals for any palate. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. The food is wonderful, no matter what you order. Salads, pizza, wraps, panini… you cannot go wrong here. They offer convenient ways to pay (like Apple Pay). If you’re looking for great food and great service, this is the place to be.“

“Great experience, amazing service, and even better food“

“I’ve eaten at many restaurants around Boston, and this is easily my favorite so far. The food is an incredible blend of Thai and Italian flavors, with every dish feeling authentic and perfectly balanced. From the rich pasta dishes to the flavorful meats and beautifully crafted burger, everything was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor.

If you’re a fan of Thai cuisine, Italian cuisine, or creative fusion done the right way, I highly recommend this place. The quality of the ingredients, presentation, and taste are all outstanding. This is one of those restaurants that makes you want to come back again and again. Definitely a must-try when you’re in Boston. 🍝🍔🔥“

“Went here for dinner after a Bruins game. It’s a 3 minute walk from the Garden, great food (Pub style), great service, decent prices. Definitely will be back.“

“I have lived in the Boston-esque area for twelve years and have eaten so many good meals, but the fish tacos here are the only meal I needed to have before my upcoming move out west(ern MA). Cocktails are fun and creative, service is 13/10, the XL portions of fries that require to-go boxes are the only fries I’ve ever found to reheat well, and if you’re lucky, Steve will be tending bar. I love going at the slightly quieter times but I’ll never gatekeep the euphoria experienced by a meal here. Bonus perks: Max & Chelsea have the best senses of humor, the murals on the patio are always amazing, the beer and wine selection are vast (also the mocktails!), and the decor always feels like your favorite “I Spy” book.“

“Working with you, Ralph Carico, has been an absolute blessing. Your signals and strategies have consistently yielded profitable trades, all without any withdrawal fees. I can't express enough gratitude, Ralph, and I wholeheartedly recommend your legitimate and trustworthy services to others. Don't hesitate to add Ralph Carico to your trading network.“

“Cozy, neat little burger place. The food was delicious, and very unique. But the milkshakes, OMG out of this world. This is a unique dining experience that is definitely worth the trip!“

“yes I recommend plnt Burger“

“Was a great experience really good food. A good amount of options and decent size plates and for those that want a drink of alcohol they have that well. Definitely getting staff and very friendly and helpful. The only thing I will say is it can be expensive but worth it . I definitely will go back and try other food.“

“paul is the man!! everyone on the staff was so considerate, kind, and very attentive. came for the happy hour special and left having had amazing food, beer, and a great time with my family. stop sleeping on BBC & come get something off their amazing menu!!“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“It was great places and I love this service because the waiters is very nice“

“Omg! The lemon rice soup is fantastic! It can heal whatever you’re suffering from. I also recommend the chicken salad. I never thought I would ever rave about chicken salad but Maria’s Kitchen has the best I’ve ever had! Love this place!!“

“Such a chill vibe!! I will be making this a regular spot.“

“My school had an end of the year party at the Hemlock Grill. Planning with the Hemlock Grill was easy. Their staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything they did was seamless- setting up the room, the timing for getting the food out, juggling all the drink orders. People raved about the food. It was delicious. I highly recommend the Hemlock Grill for a special event.“

“When we come to Boston, it’s a must to make it to the South End Buttery . We’ve been visiting the Buttery for about 10 years . The Easter Brunch was amazing (2021) 🎃“

“Quick and friendly service!“

“First time there, was on a whim due to a Google search for burgers. Snappy Patty’s did not disappoint!! The cheeseburgers, tots, and beignets were on point!! Delicious, well cooked, and well seasoned!!! I’m from the south and this is the FIRST place I have ever recommended for burgers. The decor is phenomenal!! The colors and pics on the wall.. you have to see it!! Everything from Sesame Street, Star Wars, to classic rockers are present on the walls!! The music is the perfect level!! You can talk and have as conversation, but still have background music. Something I have found is not always the case. The staff is unbelievable. I felt like I was a regular that had been going for years! The communication with ordering to hid the staff works senselessly together is an added bonus to this experience. Yes, experience.. when all your senses are activated.. a restaurant/bar isn’t just a place for food and drinks. It’s a place that comes to life. Check it out when you can and tell me if you don’t feel the same!! I already know I’ll be back. Enjoy!!“

“Quite possibly the hottest bar in Quincy – Drifters checks all the boxes. The entire food menu is worth ordering. The drinks are exceptionally curated and delicious. The staff and management will make you feel nothing less than family. I couldn’t recommend this place any more.“
