    Seafood linguine
    Keith L.

    Great foot and efficient service. I got the seafood linguine and there was more seafood especially lobster than linguine. The fish and chips were huge and my son said it was the best fish and chips he has had. My other son had the mac and cheese lobster and it was good but not great. The location is nice and the inside had the nautical vibe.

    Kinda tricky to find with all of the surrounding construction. Looks like it's attached to a warehouse. They serve breakfast, lunch and even pizza by the slice. Really friendly service. Small seating area. Fairly quick service and reasonable prices. Food was good. Haddock from the fish sandwich was a pretty nice size and crispy/cooked to perfection.

    Most definitely not a tourist trap. This North Boston establishment is located in an industrialized neighborhood where it seems blue collar workers like to frequent for a satisfying lunch. My friend and I were very hungry so we both got the seafood platter that included fried haddock, shrimp, and scallops with fries and slaw. The batter on all the items was so light and flakey it didn't feel heavy after finishing it. The dining area is not super fancy but it's not supposed to be. I really got the sense this was an authentic meal locals get and the staff were very polite.

    Wanted some seafood, but were told no lunch on Veterans Day, only breakfast. And no seafood of any kind for breakfast, not even fish. Don't come if you really want seafood, might not have on holiday. The Pete's special wasn't that special anyway

    Where can you have breakfast for two for $20.00 and free parking while you eat in the Boston Seaport district? Pete's Dockside! Order your food at the counter at this no-frills eatery. Don't let the hole in the wall by a loading dock setting turn you away. The cheese omelet was cooked well as requested; the bacon, eggs, and toast were as expected and the home fries were delicious. The servers were friendly and took the orders expeditiously. We'll have to come back for pizza; it looked delicious!

    Ironically, I discovered Pete's Dockside on my last day living in Seaport. It's definitely in a random location compared to the actual neighborhoody part of the neighborhood, but that makes it a hidden gem. It seems the most frequent patrons are the construction workers who work nearby. The menu is surprisingly broad--I ordered a few things, including eggs and a pancake (which was huge). This is more homestyle food, so don't expect any "artisinal" fruit preserves and such here, but you know that is not the vibe here so it's not a problem. My blueberry pancake was only $1.25, which is totally unbelievable to be in/near Seaport! A lady brought my order out to me once it was ready; I actually didn't realize in the beginning that they had table service. Word to the wise: The hot water dispenser for tea is like scalding, melt-ya-skin-off-for-real level hot, so be careful! The friendly guy behind the register warned me about that, which I appreciated. I hope Pete's stays around for a long time.

    This little gem is kinda tucked in a corner we almost missed it. Food was delicious and the portions are big. The ambiance is like eating at a dockside diner, the staff is friendly. And the service is quick.

    Went for breakfast but missed the window! 11am. Instead had an early lunch and it was fantastic. Grilled Haddock Mashed potatoes and gravy on the side Steamed vegetables Serving for an army and the price was $20 for plate and bottled soda. Easily could have split/shared. It is hard to find but we kept going passed the dock area and discovered a stair well on the corner. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Food is good. Disappointing that they use Styrofoam though! - The only reason I gave one less star.

The smell of bacon was too good to keep moving past it and we decided to head inside. Best happy accident!! Any place that has staff wearing shirts that say "Stoked for yolks" and has an array of pig decor- jackpot! The small menu was deliciously stacked with breakfast and lunch options; the griddle was sizzling, there's a drink fridge, and a spot to stand and consume. My husband got a turkey and I did a ruby melt; SO GOOD! I perused the menu, and the breakfast options all looked incredible! If you find yourself on this end of Tremont and you smell amazing bacon, follow your nose to Mike and Patty's - you will not be disappointed! Also, staff was super friendly! This place is a total package!

There's a small park with shaded benches about 2 blocks away (Elliot Norton Park) which is a great place to sit down and devour the food. I ordered the Mission Breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. As of August 2026, the website lists the burrito as $14, but the price on the in-person menu was $16. I would give the burrito 4 out of 5 stars because of the way it was wrapped - about a third of the burrito was just egg and cheese and the toppings (avocado, red onion, hash browns, salsa verde, crema) were crammed on the other side of the burrito. If there was a way for the burrito to be wrapped so all the ingredients were more evenly distributed - this would easily be a 5/5 breakfast burrito. One random detail that stuck out to me was that their drinks in their refrigerator were very cold - no lukewarm sodas here! I would come back here to try their signature "Fancy" sandwich. Overall, this is a very solid breakfast spot in Boston!

Won't go back. Wish I had pictures, sorry. I wasn't thinking about a review. After a 15/20 minute wait, in an effort to seat us quickly, they sat us at a table that was wet, with water, and sticky from what was presumably the last table's syrup. There were 2 open, used, nips of syrup on the table that they hadn't seen or bothering to pick up. The ambiance/decor was very confusing, a lot of colors and patterns. It wasn't quirky (I've been to quirky done well), it was bordering on scatterbrained? I joked that the place was meant to be visually confusing so that you wouldn't see the lack of cleanliness. We asked for napkins to wipe our table and we were given napkins to clean it ourselves. I mean sure it was what we had asked for but when I asked in the past, someone came over with a rag and cleaner and cleaned it for us so I was a little underwhelmed with that one. Also, the table was visibly not ready because my partner noticed some hesitation in the guy before he sat us and instead of saying, "wait let me get someone to clean it for you" he sat us anyway. The entire placed smelled like a mix of dirty water and wet dog. In all fairness we should've gotten up and walked out but the restaurant was packed, so we were assuming the food must be good and we were hungry. The first two appetizer plates were got were dirty and my boyfriend's silverware. We asked for new ones. The second two were also not exactly clean but not as bad as the first. We opted to eat our appetizer from the plate it came on. We ordered the Some Like it Tot. It was cool, nothing to write home about. Expected it to be more crunchy (they are tater tots after all). I ordered the mimosa flight. Only one of the drinks had any semblance of alcohol in it. They were... oddly not good? Like not bad, but not great. The flavors on the menu sounded like they should've been great together but what served me was disappointing. I got the cookie monster pancakes. Maybe 2 stars. Very mid and uninspired. Unimpressed. The pancakes were middle of the road. Not great not bed. Best thing about this place were the nips of maple syrup. My boyfriend ordered the Monster breakfast. Also mid. The home fries were not well seasoned. Will not be returning. I'm assuming they need to pay their staff better or hire ones who care or can cook. Our server was kind though.

First of all, the pastry case just beautifully displays all the baked goods. It's quite a sight to see! I love the variety and flavors, very unique. If you know what you want, gotta get in line and grab it quick! If you wanna put in your own order, you can use the kiosk, which is really fun to use. I ordered a chai with oat milk (it's very light in flavor) and got a bialy. Honestly I had not had a bialy in over 25+ years... and was surprised to see it in the case and I had to have it. A corn + cheddar bialy. It did NOT disappoint. I also got london fog with oat milk previously, also very nice, but this place was soooo good we had to come back. My daughter loves pop tarts so when she saw it in the case, she got a blueberry pop tart and said it was very flakey and the jam was very jamful. It was the-last-one, even had the sign stuck in it!! She also got the french toast (2 slices) with kid's milk and said it was the best french toast she's ever had. My sis got a chocolate pain suisse, which I had never seen before. It's basically brioche filled with pastry cream and chocolate. It looked delicious and with coffee, my sis ate the whole thing up. All in all, this place has so much delicious eats.. I can understand if you live here, you could come every morning and still not get to everything in the pastry case! Definitely be back if we're in the Boston area again.
