50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Dorchester

“Absolutely love this place and it’s staff! The ice cream is delicious and there is a huge selection of flavors. The ice cream sandwiches are to die for. They are made with homemade cookies, so delicious. Maggie is crushing it! The owner Matthew is so kind and friendly and openly invites suggestions! **Allergy friends, they keep all nuts separate from everything else in the back. We were very pleased. We’ve already made two trips this week!!“

“Love the food it so good !“

“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!“

“This place is the best Taqueria around, and I have tried a lot, I have been going here for a few years now. The food is Fresh and hot and tastes great. Their burritos are the best and I like the Al Pastor burrito. The Hot sauces have a great flavor and the chips and salsa always taste freshly made.
I highly recommend trying This location you won't be disappointed.“

“I've been a patron of 224 Boston Street for close to 25 years now and they have yet to disappoint! The dining room staff is always so warm and welcoming, the kitchen never fails to create delicious meals, and the bar staff outgoing and happy to create bespoke cocktails. And with summer here, the outdoor patio and sidewalk seating are fantastic and provide another perspective to enjoy 224 Boston! Cheers, REA“

“This is my go-to coffee shop every single day! I live a 2 minute walk from Sugar Bowl and the first time I tried it, I was a bit unsure. I got hot chocolate the first time but after that I started trying their coffees. The almond joy is the best. Ava (the barista) is a fantastic worker and super friendly, and Kathy (one of the owners) is super nice and hardworking 😊 I love this place!“

“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.“

“A really good, quiet, and friendly environment. They all welcome you and say bye afterwards. Their sushi and ramen are really good and had a beautiful presentation. If you are looking for a quiet place where to read and eat this is your place but go between 4:45-5:30!“

“Went for the first time and everything was great!!“

“visiting from California and my son brought us here for brunch. OMG, the food was fabulous and service was exceptional. I was very impressed by the waitress. she took our order without writing down and got everything correct. five star rating“

“Cute lil restaurant, from the other reviews I went in before 5 and the place was full by the time I left. Food was alright, I had the pad thai that had no peanuts?! The fried onion substitute gave it an after taste, also, they should consider giving the lime wedge on the side like other spots as it was a lil too citrusy for me. I was happy to see the spring rolls being offered at a reasonable price, then realized why as soon as they brought to the table.. they were barely filled! Service was great tho, kind and attentive staff.“

“Yummy! And dog friendly patio.“

“Absolutely delicious in it’s perfect simplicity!“

“Loved the Texas brisket sandwich. Delicious. Nice atmosphere.“

“Food: I thought the broth rivaled a lot of other popular options in Chinatown/Allston. The spicy options were my favorite and complemented many of the options well. I thought the sauce bar was decent but not as extensive as some other places.

Service: mostly self-serve off an iPad - they won't check up too often.

Atmosphere: I appreciate the lanterns and the booths in the back. Will come out and sing for birthdays too which seems to be popular.

Overall: quality across the menu is great, and the soup bases are possibly my favorite in Boston. Can be a bit more expensive than other AYCE options, but generally worth it for the quality.“

“Good food, great prices & friendly service! 👌“

“This was the best night out I’ve had with my husband in a long time. The food was spectacular- I suggest the mezze platter so you can try everything, and of course the koshari. The mushroom fritters they had as a special were divine. The atmosphere and quality of service were top-notch and we will absolutely be coming here regularly.“

“10/10 experience! Great coffee and breakfast. Love the vibe of the atmosphere!“

“We love the quiche at Colette's!“

“A treasure of a restaurant on busy Cambridge St - walk through the door and you’re in a different world. Servers quickly become friends. Great spot for a romantic dinner for two but still a place where a solo diner feels welcome. Wonderful menu with choices for the adventurous and not so adventurous eater. My new favorite spot for lunch or dinner in Boston.“

“Amazing food. Don't miss out on the pasta dishes or the bread. They actually make for great sharing apps. The staff is so nice and welcoming. Drinks are delicious and unique.“

“When someone's looking for lobster bisque, I'll send 'em here!“

“On the slightly pricier side for a takeout (there is no sitting area and even standing to order or wait was a little tight). Service was fast and friendly. Food was nice and pleasant- not life changing. I would definitely revisit if near but not smth I would make a special trip for“

“Great food and pet darn fast actually. My wife had the shrimp scampi with linguine and I had the stuffed calamari over black squid ink linguine. 🤌🏽👌🏽👍🏽“

“I recently hosted a birthday party at Idle Hands and it was so awesome! It was super easy to schedule the rental and plan the event with Darren. The Idle Hands team was great during the event - they made everything run smoothly and made it look easy. Everyone had a wonderful time 🙂 thank you!!“

“The food was incredible and everyone was super friendly. I’m glad we stopped in!“

“Best place,great food.Highly recommend 🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“The quality and presentation of the food was top notch. We were incredibly impressed by the dining room layout and staff. If you are looking for a place to propose to your significant other… this is NOT the appropriate place. As I mentioned the food was the finest I’ve ever had; however, the music was terrible. We felt like we were in a 1990’s discotheque. The music was loud, very heavy beat and not remotely romantic. We did mention to our waitstaff and they attempted to get it turned down to no avail. No coffee or dessert available either. I understand space is limited; however you have two of the finest dessert businesses well within walking distance. Even if you only carry two desserts. I would still go back there for the food with the hopes of different music…even soft jazz would be acceptable.“

“The tasting experience was incredibly informative. All of the liquor was delicious.. everyone there made us feel so special - we had an amazing time and can’t wait to return! We ended up purchasing two bottles and are so excited to share them with family and friends! Thanks guys! Shoutout to the bartenders and Randy for acknowledging my bday!“

“Thank you for GREAT customer service and making me feel welcome. The cafe is immaculate and the food and drink was delicious! My first Iced Matcha!!! Well worth the visit from SW France 🇺🇸🇫🇷 Great merchandise and appreciated the WiFi....Á bientôt!“

“My first time here, and the first thing I noticed was how cute and inviting the space is! The food and drinks were sooo delicious. 😋 I had the Bom Dia breakfast sandwich, while my friend ordered the Greek breakfast sandwich. We also tried a couple of iced coffees and the gut-healing juice, everything was amazing! The staff were also very friendly. I’ll be back!“

“I had an amazing experience and can’t wait to go back🥰“

“Never been denied an espresso in critical need.
Never been denied free wifi when in need.
Never been denied a cold one when in need.
Never been denied a hot tea in frigid January months.
Never been denied a delicious vegan funfetti and snickerdoodle cookie before pinball league next door.“

“I love this place so much. I live in PA, have a husband and children, and still contemplate leaving them for the day to drive to Bakey and pick up a boatload of baked good. It’s that good. Please please please consider coming to the Lehigh valley!!“

“Table was amazing!! After living in the north end for 2 years and hearing glowing reviews I was excited to try it out for myself. I would 100% recommend the meatball and the Gnocchi with pesto drizzle they were delicious. Service was friendly and fast! Would recommend to anyone!“

“In the heart of the South End, Toro is serving up Spanish-style Tapas in a great atmosphere with high quality service.

We made a reservation outdoors, but because of rain they were kind enough to accommodate and moved us to an indoor table. Our waiter, Michael, was so helpful in explaining the menu and giving recommendations, as this was our first time eating Tapas.

For the uninitiated, like we were, Tapas is small, shareable plates. They have a wide variety to choose from! We ended up getting Street Corn, Grilled Shrimp, Fried Potatoes served up “Bomb Style” with Pork Belly, sauces and fried egg, Cod Croquettes, and Steak. We were pleased by every choice!

Our total with 6 orders, tax and tip was $150.“

“Amazing food and excellent customer service! Mher was so kind, patient, and helpful with all my questions since it was my first time trying Persian food. She made the experience even better and helped me feel comfortable exploring the menu. Highly recommend!“

“Really good flavors. I tried the mushroom lobi bowl as my main course and also some of the appetizers and desserts. This is primarily a quick-serve take out restaurant, but they do have a handful of tables inside. They also serve breakfast too under another name. I tried their fruit compote (juice) which is house made with real fruit and it was delicious. Owner was the only one working and he was very nice.“

“It's such a vibrant place where shopping, dining, and just strolling around feels like a treat.“

“The oysters were fresh and i enjoyed the ambience!!!“

“Stopped in on a whim and grabbed a coffee and spinach pastry. Both were great!

The best part of the experience was the staff. They were very busy but still friendly and smiling. The man who took my order was very, very kind and made my day.

Wonderful, local coffee shop!“

“Love assembly row…this is a fantastic, yummy and fun addition! Great ambiance… staff is friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend! :)“

“EXCELLENT Lahmajoun. Probably the best we’ve had. Also tried the falafel plate and a spinach pie. Portions are huge! Definitely going back.“

“Ordered an ice cream cake for Easter. It was delicious!!!“

“Deep Cuts is a great little spot to eat and catch a show. The food is good, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. The live space is small and intimate. There’s even a selection of vinyl records available for sale in the taproom!!!! I highly recommend it.“

“delicious flavor and texture. very nice staff“

“It was my first time there but I can tell you not my last !! It is now my favorite breakfast place .. ( can’t wait to try them for lunch ) They girl that waited on us was very friendly and you could just tell the day after Christmas that she loved her job The place was very clean , and didn’t smell like old steal oil .. And the foot well that’s another story and why I will be back !! It was fresh , I mean FRESH !! Like everything was picked from a garden out back to make my omelette.. And the home fries amazing !! Try it you’ll love ❤️ it , just like me !!“

“Medium Rare at Arsenal Yards is such a fun, hassle-free dining spot. Their fixed menu takes all the guesswork out of ordering, starting with fantastic fresh bread and a great salad before bringing out the main star: tender culotte steak topped with that addicting secret sauce and golden, crispy fries. Getting a warm second helping dropped right onto your plate mid-meal is a fantastic touch that makes the price feel like a steal. The atmosphere in the plaza is energetic and comfortable, and the service keeps the flow moving effortlessly from start to finish. Definitely a must-visit in Watertown for a top-tier steak frites fix.“
