The outdoor area is inviting, and inside there's a great mix of low-top tables, high-tops, bar seating, and cozy spots to settle into. Everything feels thoughtfully spread out, and I loved being able to see the open brick oven and activity in the kitchen. The space also has a bit of a bakery/café vibe, making it feel like a place where you could stop in for a quick grab-and-go item or stay awhile for a full meal. The staff made a great impression too. The people at the front were incredibly helpful to my guest, who was having some trouble with their phone. I also ordered one of the specialty drinks but asked for it without alcohol. The bartender absolutely nailed it--it was so good that my only complaint was that it didn't come in a bigger glass. For food, I had the grass-fed burger and fries (see photo), and it exceeded my expectations. The burger was so juicy and flavorful that I ended up cutting it into pieces just to make it manageable. Every bite was delicious. What I appreciate most is that I left feeling like I hadn't even experienced everything the restaurant has to offer. I already want to go back, choose a different seat, and enjoy a completely different perspective of the space. Honestly, it feels like the perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon. This is your sign, visit now!

Loved how cool she looked shaking 2 drinks. Food was good, drinks were good. Bartender was nice and friendly. Only downfall was that the bartender didn't dry her hands on a towel. I watched her make drinks, dip fruit into salts, then dried both her hands on her rear end‍! Yup, just swiped her hands on her rear/jeans, then went to grab some mint to garnish the drinks. I immediately took the garnishes out of my glass. So, if you're not a germaphobe, then go for it! Vibe was cool, food was good, drinks were tasty, but at $15, wish there was more than a half glass worth...since the rest is ice. But maybe that's how it is at most places. Would I come back? Sure, lucky I have a strong immune system!

The staff was definitely the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the price. While the presentation was nice, the meals arrived only lukewarm and weren't as flavorful as expected for the cost. The menu prices suggest a premium dining experience, but the quality and temperature of the food didn't match that expectation. Another downside was the wait time. It took quite a while to receive our drinks, and getting the check at the end of the meal was also much slower than it should have been. The delays made the overall experience feel longer than necessary. We also noticed that our table and chairs were quite wobbly, which made dining uncomfortable and even caused some of our drinks to spill. For a restaurant charging premium prices, basic maintenance and seating comfort should be a priority. Overall, the outstanding service helped make up for some of the shortcomings, but the overpriced food, long waits, and uncomfortable seating would make me think twice before returning.

I was greeted upon entry by the owner who immediately sat us, the food came out timely and was on point. Industrial warehouse turned dive bar...relaxed vibe. Shrimp dinner with yams and lobster mac. My lady had the burger w/ cheese. I tried both and watched the game on one of maybe 8 xlarge screen TVs. My waitress was friendly and checked in throughout the night. I thought the drink my lady had was too strong and the up-charge for lobster mac should've been announced (don't think it's on the menu) but otherwise for a professional NY transplant that just moved to N. Dorchester and wants to stay local this is a good option. It's an urban inner city bar with good food and great service. I thought ppl were genuinely friendly- 95% (imo)?receive direct deposit or owned their business. My type of crowd. Give it a try. I'll definitely have The Mix on rotation.

These from Bait to Plate, however... well, it was not really clear what they were from their appearance. If you've seen advertisements anywhere for tender fried clams, these are not they. As I said, they don't resemble clams with bellies and while they were such, I believe, in some sense, they were tasteless and tough to boot. Go to The Sail Loft. I was lazy and wanted an Uber Eats delivery, or doordash, and the SL doesn't participate in those. After this, will haul my lazy patootie downtown so as not to be rudely disappointed, as I was by Bait to Plate. These clams would have been better off left wherever they came from.

The quality was excellent then, and on something of a whim on a recent visit to Quincy, I stopped in for a fish and chips lunch. The quality is just as good as I remembered, and at a surprisingly reasonable price given the catapulting of prices industry-wide. I joked with the counter staff about the length between visits, and they joked about about not letting it go forty more years -- they might not be around that long! While I certainly won't be, well into my sixties, I sure hope Burke's will.

With a craving for some seafood, we decided to pop in for a late lunch. The whole Burke's team was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival. We asked for recommendations and made some quick selections before the kitchen closes for the day. We opted for the shrimp lunch, oyster dinner, and a seafood chowder. The chowder came out first. The lady was so friendly, making sure we had enough spoons and cups of water. The chowder was thick and creamy with chunks of seafood. I am not usually fans of fried seafood. However, the fried shrimps and fried oysters here were so good that the batter didn't adulterate the freshness of the shrimps and oysters at all. Both were cooked to perfection without being dry. As I was watching the light snow flurries outside the windows, I was thinking to myself that I was lucky to still enjoy some fresh seafood here as the temperatures are dropping.
