50 Best Burger Restaurants near Dorchester

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

“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“

“The burgers are next leve!! fresh, You can really taste the quality and care that goes into the food. The menu has something for everyone, and everything is made just right. 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! 🙌🍔“

“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.“

“All the staff makes you feel good... The medical area Friday's restaurant closed and is vacant on Tremont Street at Huntington avenue Boston where I work,I wish Applebee's would take that location over cause it's a rock throw from my job...“

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

“I was in Boston for a day and needed something to eat to hold me down for a few hours. I found this place inside a whole foods. It was weird. Nobody was there to take my order. I thought it was closed, but the hours stated it was open. I noticed the option of placing my order online via a QR code. So I did. 10 minutes later my food arrived. For the record, it was 1 BBQ burger. It looked like something you'd get at McDonald's. And tasted like the Rodeo Cheeseburger at Burger King. Actually brought back lots of memories from my childhood. Really good in a junk food kind of way. The menu actually had lots of options, all fast food inspired. I would love to go back and try it all. A bit pricy tho.

“Best burger in Boston !!!“

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

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

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

“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!!“

“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*****“

“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.“

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

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

“The place itself was nice, clean, and comfortable, I ordered the brunch burger, and unfortunately it arrived cold. I’m sure it would’ve tasted much better if it had been hot. On the bright side, the fries were really good, crispy and flavorful. Overall, a good experience, but I hope the food temperature is better next time, especially coming from a restaurant associated with Gordon Ramsay.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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)!“

“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.“

“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“

“👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“The portion size was generous, and the presentation was attractive. The restaurant maintained high standards of cleanliness and hygiene, which enhanced the overall dining experience. The prices were fair and reflected the quality of the food and service provided.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would happily return. I highly recommend this burger restaurant to anyone looking for tasty food, excellent service, and a comfortable dining atmosphere.“

“Best chicken bites! Highly recommend ♥️“

“Food and service were both spectacular.

Pizza was shared as an appetizer and was extraordinary. Totally fresh ingredients and flawless crust.

Clams and spaghetti was another great choice. Chocked full of clams, light lemon flavor, and great portion size.

Desserts were also top notch

Guillermo proved incredible service from the initial greet and all the way through payment. Fantastic server.“

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

“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.“

“Quick and friendly service!“

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

“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.

“Drifters is another welcome addition to the Quincy Bar/Restaurant scene. It’s in a great location on Hancock street a quick walk from the Kilroy Place parking garage or there is street parking. It has a really cool vibe to it with a lot of great energy and music. One of the things I love about this place is the diversity of the clientele. I’ve met groups in their 20’s/30’s and 50’s. The age groups all mix well and contribute to a chill atmosphere. Makes for a great spot to take a date or significant other. For food I’ve had to-go pizza which is very good and on a recent visit had a couple of things from the late night bar menu. My friend ordered a Bacon and Pineapple pizza something I normally wouldn’t consider but it was a fabulous combination of ingredients- it’s a MUST TRY (see my pic). We also had the spicy ranch fries which were incredibly flavorful and just the right amount of salt! They also have a very focused wine list that has some very high quality pics - try the Charles and Charles “Bolt” Cabernet, it’s big bold and juicy. Or the San Polo Rubio - a soft and silky Sangiovese blend. The drink is very creative and they have a great tequila selection (my fav is Tres Agaves Blanco). The beer on draft is remarkably cold - one of my pet peeves is warm draft lines. Overall this is a fantastic pic for food and nightlife. High on the recommended list!!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“I ordered and picked up catering for an off-site staff party, and everything was nicely labeled, well prepared, and very delicious. Prices were more than reasonable, and the staff was very easy to work with. There's a nice menu (lunch, dinner, snacks) with plenty of options.“

“First and probably last time visit as I live 20-25 hours away by plane. I'll be here (writibt this review as I'm sitting here), Chill vibes owners and the customers, solo or groups would work either way, soul food soul drinks, real stuff, not just commercial mba marketing generic stuff, thumbs up to owners, keep going and for the long time customers - it's a gem and you know it too.“

“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!!“

“Food is great!“

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

“Delicious chicken sandwich“

“Fun cool and comfortable creative“

“This humble little restaurant offers fresh and tasty food, in generous portions. That’s real food, not processed fast food. Pleasant interiors, comfortable seating, clean restroom.
The food is served with real plates and utensils, not disposable.

Good food, good service, good value, good people 👍“

“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.“

“Great date night please the small cozy spot. It’s very difficult to get walking. It’s better to do a reservation earlier. The burgers were extraordinary. I even like that cocktails. The only problem was getting parking around that area.“

“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.“

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

“Whats in that seasoning you guys put on the fries.. its really great. I'd love to see these guys do well and grow into something much larger.. very friendly guys, the vibe of the place is great. I got 2 sliders with fries and I topped it with honey.. Definitely one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had.

Good luck gents, hope you guys do very well in the near future“
