The vibes at Blend are immaculate! It was my first time going to Blend for a Rupaul Dragrace watch party on a Friday at 8PM. It certainly won't be the last because I definitely will come back for a drag brunch, drag show, and or dance party! The servers were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was lively decorated. There were many tv screens and a large projector on the main wall for everyone to watch. Not a bad seat in the house! Many tables and booths were filled with couples and parties. It's highly recommended to book a reservation for a spot. And there were plenty of street parking available. And did I mention that the food was delicious?? Don't sleep on the beef empanadas! The spicy sauce and guava sauce perfectly complemented the fried bites. The legendary steak tips were perfectly cooked and so tender. It was paired with a Mac salad and French fries. The half chicken was also surprisingly filling and satisfying. Both dark meat and white meat are served with green beans and mashed potatoes. The whole meal left no crumbs. Come to Blend for a good time and leave with a belly so full! read more

I recently got take out here and the food is pretty average. There was nothing that really stuck out to me to keep me coming back to eat there. Although, the workers were incredibly nice, the inside was decorated spooky for Halloween and I would go there again to try the drinks/bar scene out! read more

You lose me with the picture. This is not a place I expect to have a quiet meal at. Sorry.

Great food (the Mac and cheese & empanadas are favorites of my roomie and I), great service, and some of the best drag brunches in the city--the New Year's Day Taylor Swift drag brunch is inspired. read more

The Mac and cheese was genuinely the best Mac and cheese I've ever had. 10/10. The ambiance was immaculate. Julian was attentive and made sure we were never waiting for our next round of drinks. read more

This review is specifically about dinner on the weekend before any dancing got started. My husband did a rather cursory review for fun dinner spots for my birthday which is how we found ourselves, our 2 tweens, and my elderly in-laws at one of 2 tables in a fabulous rainbow decorated queer dance club on a random Saturday evening at 6pm. There were huge TV screens playing 90s girly pop music videos everywhere, including a floor to ceiling one near the DJ booth dance area where our table was set up. My daughter was dying of cringe and my son was asking a million questions (e.g., why does the bathrooms have a 1 person at a time sign?) and my in-laws were kind of confused, and it was a bit awkward...and then it was just kind of amazing. The waiter and bartender were so friendly and fun, the music was nostalgically terrific, they brought me a very delicious sundae with a candle and the other table sang too, and I had a really lovely birthday. My kids got a nice preview of their nightclubbing future and we got to hear my father in law ask, a week later, if anyone else thought maybe the place we went to was a gay bar. Absolutely epic. Since it was just us and one other table on a Saturday at dinner time I want to STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE FOOD! It should've been packed! Don't sleep on dinner at Blend. It is really delicious! Also the dessert! They have non-alcoholic drink options! And good alcoholic ones, too! It's sparkly and welcoming and smells nice, and the all-gender bathrooms are pretty and clean. I want to come back for the food and stay for the dancing next time. read more

The Good: It got fairly crowded by 11PM. The crowd was mostly younger guys. The dance floor was large (good), the music was decent, and the drag show didn't go on for too long. The Bad: They came by and kicked us out of our bar stools around 10:30. They carted all of them away to somewhere else. I never saw the bar get so crowded after that they would have needed to do this. We were forced to put our jackets back on. We almost simply left. I ordered a Red Bull at one point and it was poured into a plastic cup. Out of curiosity, I asked why and was told they couldn't give out the can. A short time later I realized other people had cans of a hard seltzer that were the same size as a Red Bull can. Very weird. The Ugly: Drinks were ridiculously priced (way more than in Boston) and came in a plastic cup that seemed small, especially the wine. I don't know how they think it's not noticeable. read more

A group (15) of us reserved space for a Sunday brunch It was not a busy day that day, (not a drag brunch), so the lone waiter (waitperson) there did a marvelous job of servicing us all for great food and drinks. Not one person had a complaint about anything. I routinely show up for a brunch, and order food from this establishment in my neighborhood (Dorchester). I've never had a bad experience, as they make an effort for quality, and consistency. read more

What a riot! My girlfriends and I came for brunch, specifically a Britney Spears-themed Drag Show Brunch! The food was great and the entertainment, even better! We ordered cereal flavored donuts to start. I'm not a big cereal or donut person, but I really enjoyed them! One of my friends commented one of the cereals on the donuts were stale but I didn't notice. Then I ordered the eggs benedict for my entree. The homemade hollandaise sauce made this meal - I could have drank it or eaten it as a soup, it was that delicious!! The homefries were sort of bland but the hollandaise sauce more than made up for up it. I ordered some kind of fancy/boozy coffee drink that was also delicious (and strong!). The whole time we were eating, there was the drag show going on around us, which we thought was funny and entertaining. It's certainly not your typical brunch experience, but it was a lot of fun! read more

Rather than always wearing a thick jacket, I wear a shell jacket over a fleece because, like many who know how New England winters go, I like to have the flexibility and versatility that wearing layers gives you. Somehow this place thinks it's reasonable to charge you $6 to have the two layers checked together ($3 for each layer) because they charge "per item" and it's so ridiculous and tone deaf. They blatantly overcharge for this even though they still put the items on the same hanger so it literally creates no extra work for the coat check staff whatsoever. In fact, my two layers together are still less heavy and bulky combined than many single items that others are having checked, so the logic is obviously that they just need to nickel and dime their customers at every turn, or they want to make sure two customers aren't pulling a fast one on them and checking their coats together. But how many people are realistically going to even try to do that? Probably not enough of them to justify creating a negative experience for those who legitimately just wear layers and want a fair price for a simple service. It's asinine. No other bar that I've gone to in this city has tried to pull this nonsense; they reasonably treat the two layers as one item. Also last I was aware, they don't allow anyone to enter after 1am on Friday/Saturday nights. In a city that already has a pathetic nightlife offering, especially for the lgbt scene, where everything closes at 2, this policy just makes it even worse. read more

Music is 10/10. Difficult to enjoy because the dance floor after 12am becomes prohibitively hot. How hard it is to put 4-5 portable air conditioners in guys or figure out a solution? Brutal fml. ps. Anthony the bartender is so good. read more

Great place. The staff was amazing, super friendly. The cocktails are amazing. I do not like vodka but the Strawberry Martini was so good, I had three! I cannot wait to come back for brunch. And one day to go dancing! read more

I'm so happy I found Blend! I had a delayed hair appointment and went to Blend to get something to eat while I wait. I got there just when it opened so I was the first person there. Such a dope spot and very big! I got the mozz sticks which were the typical delish app. I also ordered a Cobb salad which was so g. Not only was the food and ambience super cute. Jillian and James really gave awesome options for food and drinks. They have drag brunches on Sunday and I plan on going soon! read more

Great service, atmosphere and food/drinks! The staff is the best! The drag brunches are always a blast and is a great place to go late night out dancing with friends! read more

It's so great to have a thriving restaurant with friendly staff and great food! Had the Fried Pickles (sorry, no pic; ate it too fast), and steak tips. The tips were right on point tender and flavorful, Mac salad was delish, and fries were crispy on outside and soft and full on inside. read more

Blend - Steak tips with Mac salad and fries. Sooo good!! - Bars Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

I met a staff member in Boston while attending the First Event for the LGBTQ community. My wife decided to check out the festivities since they have the most Amazing shows. We felt so welcomed, and could not stop laughing. We had the most delicious burgers, I have told my friends all about this place, and I would suggest people give it a try. read more

This place has great servers and amazing food. We walked in and we're a little worried, it looks like a really fun dance club, and we were looking for good food. But the drinks were fire, the tempura broccoli was to die for, Mac and cheese on point and the chicken Caesar wrap was the best I've had for a long time. We felt incredibly safe and welcomed there. Support this business at all costs, their food is phenomenal! read more

The drinks they have are really good and very reasonably priced. I've ordered the steak tips a couple of times and again recently and they are the best steak tips I have had, and I've had a lot! They are very tasty and tender. The service is also really good read more

James was a fantastic host! Was able to fit us inside for the drag brunch they have on Sundays. The bartenders are great and the drag show is a lot of fun. Would recommend! read more

It was a fun experience & good food. Really enjoyed the music. Would recommend to anyone looking for a diverse & fun place

First place I went to post masks. I'm a big brunch person and have my go-to place down the street. But wanted to try someplace different. To make this short.... I did have a complaint, my food was cold!! But I was so hungry so I ate it anyway because I didn't want to wait for it to get sent back. I did tell the waitstaff, and they were lovely, offered to get me a new meal. I said it was fine. That's on me.... the food was good even tho cold. I didn't want to make a big deal. I hate to complain!! My friend was happy with her meal and both our drinks were good. That being said they took my meal off the bill. Not necessary but much appreciated. Class act joint. I'm definitely going to go back. The menu looks great. read more

What a great spot! Came for date night and loved it. The food and drinks were awesome and the staff was so lovely and friendly. Good vibes all around, can't wait to go back! read more

Had a lovely time here during disco brunch! Everyone was super spaced out and it's clear they're taking COVID precautions seriously. Everyone enjoyed the different cocktails and bucket of mimosas for the table and the disco music/music videos playing in the big screens. It was also my moms birthday and they brought over a brownie sundae which was so sweet and kind! read more
