This was an amazing find of a restaurant on our little trip to Boston. As of many of the other…read morereviews state, the biscuits are a must. They were the dark horse that I never would have thought about ordering normally. Biscuits for dinner? Eh. But they were delicious and lighter than expected and the pimento cheese I could have ate by the spoonfuls. The oysters were clean and delicious. Everything you hope to have from Northeast oysters especially being from Texas where most of the places here serve Gulf oysters that don't even come close to comparing. I could have drank the mignonette. The pimento mac n cheese was on point and flavorful (and again that pimento cheese, yum). The wagyu burgers were so good. The burger was tender and flavorful, the bread was soft and light and slightly sweet, and the onion ring added a great texture to the mix. Think of a amped up western burger. The ambiance was a cool vibe yet a home feel. We were seated quickly but it took awhile for anyone to acknowledge us. Service was good once it started and the food came out quickly. If we ever make it back to Boston, it will definitely be on our list to revisit. Great late dinner spot. Simple foods done right. (Oh, and the drinks were delicious. I wanted to try them all. Mine tasted exactly like an apple pie.)

The feta veg omelette special was…read moredelicious - the omelette loaded with veggies and feta cheese, came with a side of beans and rice, and tasty potato hash. Ask for the hot sauce, it's tasty! The meal came with either cream wheat or fruit. Tried cream wheat for the first time and it was sooo good. Warm, cozy, sweet and salty. Entrees came with a bread basket of homemade buttered bread which was delicious too. Service was excellent. Patio ambience was lovely for late morning brunch. Love that they offer breakfast all day. Only complaint is the long wait - but they offer complimentary coffee and lemonade, along with bubbles for kids to stay occupied. Parking in the area can also be hard to find on the weekends. We will definitely be back!

Both portions were huge and delicious. She's from Louisiana and said could have been spiced a bit more but very tasty. The corn bread was moist and a good crumb. Mac and cheese side -- creamy and a good cheddar tang. No room for dessert. Service was as good as the food. The ambiance was excellent -- a very good vibe. They even have an allergen menu for folks with food allergies. Outstanding. Sorry for no pictures, too busy eating.

After our night out, we all had mixed feelings about our experience. The interior is beautiful. It's classy and fun setting the scene for a nice vibe. service was nice but slow, we needed to flag down our waiter a couple times so we could order food. Some of the things we ordered were the fried catfish nuggets, braised oxtails, Mac and cheese and steak frites. Fried catfish bites were okay, the oxtail dish was tender but too sweet, Mac and cheese was standard and the steak was dry. I never mind paying top dollar for amazing dishes but these weren't it for us. Drinks were good though and the music was great. I'd suggest coming just to listen to a great live band and a nightcap.

Usually we sit in the Esplanade but we wanted to try something different. A sudden downpour and thunderstorm & evacuation of the Esplanade changed that. We ducked into Sweet Cheeks, thankful to see available tables. We weren't greeted by anyone in particular and a server told us to sit wherever. We picked our meats and sides, and the server strongly recommended the mac n cheese and the pulled pork. I understand we are spoiled by Lil Barbecue & Grasslands in Oregon, but we really didn't expect to taste such bland BBQ here. The Mac n Cheese was the best thing we ate, only because it tasted like old skool Velveeta - not sure if there's any in it but the texture and taste was like childhood. The "famous" biscuit is worth skipping. Appearance wise it looked great! But it was cold and on the dry side. We still hold out hope to find decent BBQ in Boston. This just wasn't it for us.

We walked into a simple counter-service space with limited indoor seating, the kind of place that feels more like a grab-and-go stop than a sit-down lunch spot. Even with its small footprint, there was a steady stream of customers coming in for one of the signature sandwiches, and the energy of the room stayed practical and focused on getting orders out efficiently. The lobster roll is the clear standout. We ordered one and found it generously filled with lobster meat, making it feel substantial compared to many other lobster rolls around the city. Whether you choose it hot with butter or cold with mayo, the focus stays on the lobster itself rather than overwhelming it with extra ingredients. The toasted roll added just enough texture without taking away from the filling. Although the lobster roll gets most of the attention, the rest of the menu offers plenty of options if seafood is not what you are looking for. There are oversized sandwiches, soups like clam chowder, and classic sides that make it easy to find something for different tastes. The portions are generous overall, making the prices feel reasonable considering the amount of food you receive. The service was quick and efficient, which fits the fast-paced counter-service concept. The staff moved through orders with speed, and the food came out without much delay. The biggest thing to keep in mind is the limited seating, especially during lunch hours or peak tourist seasons in the North End. If the dining area is full, taking your food to go or finding a nearby outdoor spot can be a better option. Overall, Pauli's is a great stop if you are looking for a satisfying lobster roll without an overly formal seafood restaurant experience. The generous portions, straightforward menu, and convenient location make it an easy place to visit while exploring the North End, especially if lobster rolls are at the top of your list.
