This was our first time visiting the brick and mortar location. We moved away from the area and…read morehaven't had Love Dog in a couple years. The space is really nice, clean, and very nostalgic, it gives old school 90s Brasil vibes, iykyk! There is limited parking right in front of the restaurant with their food truck taking up half the spots. There were no staff present when we walked in, they were in the back, so we went up and ordered using the tablets. While convenient, I find this set up super impersonal. The food, 1 burger, 2 pressed hotdogs, and fries, took longer than we expected 20-25 mins. Once we did interact with the staff, they were super friendly! Now for the food, fries were way over salted, we had to wipe them off using napkins. Burger meat and bun were dry, the patty was also really salty. The pressed hotdogs were fine but they changed the hot dog they use and it wasn't our preference. The homemade mayo was really nice. While the sandwiches are substantial, given the quality, they're expensive when compared with similar options in the area. Overall, not as good as we remembered though I would recommend for the close to what you'd find in Brasil, authentic experience. We hope they can get back to what made them so special when they first started!

On the Macy's side of Summer Street, I spied a new (to me) food cart with the word "AREPA"…read moreemblazoned on all sides situated across from the Summer Street entrance to the Downtown Crossing T stop. Curious about their "sweet corn patties with mozzarella cheese" which were grilled on site (but seemingly bought packaged), I stopped despite the fact that I had recently consumed my lunch. For $4, I received a 'sandwich' wrapped in foil with a paper napkin cushioning my hand against the heat of the contents. It was about 4 inches in diameter, and fully heated through. It was reminiscient of a corny grilled cheese or a corny sauceless pizza. Since, hobbit-like, it was my 2nd mid-day meal, I couldn't believe I ate the whole thing, but then I figured it wouldn't reheat in a microwave all that well... It was a nice snack, but it is priced a little high to make it as a regular snack destination for me... more like a special sometime treat. PS - it is noted on the cart that the arepas are Gluten-Free.

Just to start, the arepas I got here was disgusting. I'm not a picky eater and I was very hungry at…read morethe time, but it was so obviously expired that I physically couldn't eat it. The cheese must have been sitting out for a few days because it was so dry it wouldn't melt. Also the vendor was a huge dick to me. Got mad about me paying by card for a $6 order (that I'm 90% sure was advertised as $5) and mansplained credit card transactions to me. I was so jarred that I asked for my card back but he insisted on completing the transaction while complaining about cars payments the entire time. Do NOT eat here. You will regret it. If curious, this was the cart across from Boston Public Library.

I have tried a couple of these stands on route to Filene's, but have found this particular stand to stand out from the rest in terms of hygiene and turn over. Their Italian sausage hot dogs ($5) are really, really tasty. The fragrant (spiced with fennel) and cylindrical piece of meat is grilled to perfection with a slightly crisp skin; resulting in an audible "pop" upon sinking one's incisors within. They are topped with grilled sweet onions and peppers; a distinctively delicious scent that I can pick up 2 blocks away. I always gobble up the onions in mad delight - and this comes from someone who's hated onions all her life. Did I mention the extremely friendly and courteous hot dog vendor? He always hands you the dawg with a smile and is proud of his little stand.

The chicken tastes exactly the same, incredibly juicy and lightly seasoned; the pilaf is similarly flavorful. The pita was soft and chewy. The only letdown here is the salad: a handful of chopped lettuce with a chunk of tomato and a few pieces of bell pepper, smothered in feta and what tastes like regular ol' ranch dressing. There was no one in line when I arrived at 1. Give 'em a shot if you're looking for a fallback.

Alright, so I'm a self professed bbq snob so keep that in mind…read more Service- my goodness, the staff here are amazing. We got there without realizing what time it was (6 pm) and then realized they were in the process of closing. I offered to take our food to go but they insisted we stay and dine in. Super sweet of them! Food- between my partner and I, we ordered brisket, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, dirty rice, potato salad, corn bread and fried pickles. The good- fried pickles. Excellent breading, super hot, great dipping sauce. Bonus points for being pickle chips and not spears. BBQ sauce was excellent, ketchup based. The meh- everything else. Brisket was pretty dry, and despite having a nice pink ring and good bark, it was bland. Pulled pork I felt similarly about, but when mixing the sauce in it turns out nicely. Both need more salt. Dirty rice was ok. Mac and cheese was pretty run of the mill. Cornbread had too much baking soda and tasted off and was gummy. All of this being said- I want to give it another shot at a time when they are not closing. They were out of ribs, so those deserve a chance. Hoping that next time is better!

It's not gourmet, but the Bun Ga Nuong (shredded chicken thighs with a hint of lemongrass over a bed of cool vermicelli noodles, lettuce, and topped with the saucy sauce) was a Vietnamese treat boasting a flavor that was tangy and satisfying.
