Holy crap this place sucks. My office just ordered Bred via Relish (uber eats for offices basically) I kid you not every single person in this office is talking negatively about their meal. I got the hot chicken sandwich and I don't know if it was over-fried or if thats what it was supposed to taste like but it tasted burnt and bad. Left a bad review on the app and now leaving this one here because when places are overpriced AND bad, people should know. Good service I will say, it was on time but food was bad. read more

Bred was buried deep in my Yelp search before I actually came across it. I'm a sucker for any hipster-esque places and Bred was everything. Inside is minimal with 4 wooden tables that probably couldn't seat, at most, 4 people per table. When you walk in the register is right in front of you and the menu is to the right. I got the BYOB and did jerk chicken on brioche with bacon, cheddar, and fried onions with cilantro aioli. The burger was spectacular! The jerk chicken was juicy and fresh. The onions and bacon gave it a really good crisp. But I probably wouldn't get brioche on it again because the burger caved in on itself the second I took a bite. I couldn't taste the cilantro aioli either. We also got a side of Parmesan truffle fries which were good but soggy and the truffle flavor was minimal. The truffle ketchup though was probably the best ketchup I've ever had. You could really taste the truffle flavor and it went well with the burger and the fries. read more

We have been going to Bred since it opened and the food is always so good. I'm sure I was not the only one who encouraged the owner, Tambo, to be one of the vendors at Taste of Dorchester a year or two after he opened and, to no one's surprise, he won. My husband and I have slowly migrated away from beef but Bred has got us covered. I now get the Yosemite with a turkey burger just about every time, and he either gets the Bred Salmon burger (pretty spicy!) or the Bred Veggie. The turkey burger is well-seasoned, as is everything else, and you'd be hard pressed to say that the turkey was not as good as their beef. The truffle fries, sweet potato fries, and/or sweet plantains are just the right complement to the burgers. I haven't tried any of the chicken sandwiches or the salads because I like the burgers so much. I have tried the smoothies, though, and I really like the Blue Magic. Beer and wine are available at a great price, and there is a Saturday brunch (they are not open on Sundays). The owner is often there, and he and everyone else who works there make it a pleasant experience. It's a small place and he has managed to expand the seating over the years; comfortable and clean. And, I was happy to learn that he is going to open a second spot soon. When I was working, I introduced some colleagues to Bred and they started doing lunch pick up runs. Now that I am retired, my husband and I keep Bred on our list of options when I am not in the mood to cook. read more

If you're looking for a burger joint in the Boston area, this is it! Bred has the best burgers that I have had in the Boston area so far. They're made fresh and the kitchen is open so you can see what they are doing, always a good thing ! I had the Parisian and my friend had the Bred Salmon burger. Both of these were amazing !! We ask got a side of parmesan truffle fries, which were generously topped with cheese! The golden BBQ sauce is top notch, and the staff is bubbly and fun. The place is small, not many places to sit and eat, but if you're looking for a great burger, this is the place to go ! read more

BOMB BURGERS. I've been here twice, both times I got a Classic (add an egg, you won't regret it). The meat is juicy and the bread is soft. Sure, you'll run out of bread before finishing the burger but I'm not complaining. The fries are okay. First time I was here I ordered the Cajun fries which are just fries coated in too much Old Bay. The new wings that they added need some more work. The seasoning is on point however they are parboiled and didn't seem fully cooked. They could be on to something with dem $1 wings tho. And who could forget the beer. Having the option to drink a brew with my burger is great. Limited tap and even more limited space but overall, this place is a great find. Just be warned, it's a popular place so expect a little bit of a wait. read more

Bred - I was on the go so this picture doesn't give the food any justice but it was delicious. - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

Good food, best sweet potato fries. Friendly staff. Smaller inside but worth it. Great location

Ordered my food online, drove right down and it was ready. This was a really nice experience, I ended up sitting down to eat outside. The wholel lower Mills corridor is all set up with new window boxes and tables. it was a really nice change for my lunch break, I have to give the whole experience five stars. Had the jerk chicken sandwich and have to have mine gluten-free, dairy-free, sauce-free but with all the jerk flavorsand mushrooms it was still kickin'! read more

Yo, I heard this place on TikTok. I think it was Instagram Instagram. I got the 12 wings jerk honey garlic and I got the rude boy burger. This food was delicious all of it down to the last bite and I love it because it arrived still hot. This is a must try and I'm sure you enjoy. read more

Disgusting. Soggy food. Too much soggy sauce. Did not honor my requests for sauce on the side. Overcooked burgers. Profoundly over-priced. Meat had too much gristle. I will never come here again. read more

Bred - 504 - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

This place is so good, everything they make is incredible. Favorites for us are the salmon burger and fried chicken sando. They added a Nashville hot chicken sandwich recently that is so delicious. We usually do pickup orders placed on their website but have also done outdoor dining on their patio in the summer. read more

They have some great burgers, made me stop going to McDonald's because you can taste the the difference, I wish they were open late, that would be the best , at least till 11, read more

Thoroughly underwhelming, overpriced food. Ordered a smoothie--nine bucks and tasted like it was made out of Tylenol syrup and ice. Didn't taste like it was made out of natural ingredients. Caesar salad with salmon was like something you buy out of a fridge at Stop n Shop. It wasn't a piece of salmon on there, it was a little "salmon cake," tasted like a bunch of breadcrumbs. Wouldn't really have a problem with this place if they cut all the prices in half. But for these prices (in Dorchester!!) they should be serving MUCH better food. Will not be back. read more

Bred - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

Oh, Bred. It had one job: make a good burger. As a burger place, that's all I expected - just a good burger. Unfortunately, I didn't get that tonight. I placed an order for pick-up, and as this was our first time at Bred, we made it simple: two "Bred" burgers, both on pretzel rolls, both cooked medium-well, and both with crisp bacon. My husband and I also ordered the handcut fries and sweet potato fries. That's it. Nothing fancy. I was told my order would be ready in 20 minutes. When I showed up, everything was bagged up (note that I did NOT say that my food was ready), I paid around $27, and headed home for dinner. When we opened the bag, the first thing we noticed were that both orders of fries were limp, as though they were not cooked long enough. Now, I've had fries at places with a similar concept as Bred (b. good is a great comparison), and whereas they aren't "fast food crispy," they are definitely cooked. Every fry from Bred was wilting, so we popped them in our oven for 10 minutes to finish cooking. They came out fine, but I shouldn't have to finish cooking food. The burgers were the real disappointment. When we cut our burgers in half, they were rare. I am not exaggerating - medium-rare is pink in the center and these were definitely red in the middle. I would understand if we ordered during the lunch rush, but it was 7pm, no one eating at the tables in the shop, and one other woman picking up food before me. Once again, the food goes back into the oven at home at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes to bring the meat up to medium-rare temperature (nowhere near the medium-well we ordered). Needless to say, the burgers didn't taste great after reheating them. I don't think I'll be going back to Bred. If I wanted to cook my own burgers and fries, then I wouldn't have ordered food from a restaurant. read more

Bred - Definitely NOT medium-well! - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

It makes me a little sad writing this review, solely because I've had much higher expectations for Bred. All of the reviews, the descriptions of the burgers, and even the pictures have made me eager to give this place a try. Bred, located conveniently close to where I frequent, has ample street parking. It almost feels like a hole in the wall, with awesome decor, a clever phrase "Quality over Quantity", and polite staff. There are about two tables available for parties no greater than 4, and a few window seats available as well for those who want to dine in. Otherwise, it's best to take the order to go. We opted for the Maui Burger (grass fed beef, grilled pineapple, pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, sweet plantains, grilled ham, and M&M Ribs BBQ sauce, served on a potato bun, $9.29) and a small order of Parmesan truffle fries ($4.25). We waited shortly for our order and were excited to chow down. Unfortunately, the potato bun was too starchy, dense, and didn't complement the other ingredients of the burger well. I felt as if the burger and the rest of the said awesome ingredients got lost in the bun. Also, although it claims that there is BBQ sauce on the burger, I barely tasted any and drenched most of it in ketchup. The parmesan truffle fries were also disappointing. It barely had any truffle flavor. We were given spicy ketchup for a condiment, which is simply Sriracha and Ketchup mixed together, which was rather tasty for dipping. The fries themselves were crispy, and the sprinkle of parmesan cheese over the fries saved it from being a disaster. Summation? Different buns. More sauce. More truffle flavor. read more

Ordered lunch today and it was great. Got the Kobe and it was filled with yummy flavor. I would only recommend adding a bit more cilantro, but I'll note that next time on my order. read more

Ok so I'll admit, I watched an episode of phantom gourmet who raved about this place and their originality. I'll admit the Parmesan fries aren't bad but a little overhyped in my opinion. The burger I had was the Parisian which is pretty good but my medium well burger turned out to be pretty rare so that lost a star right there. The staff was extremely nice, but the parking around thumbs down. Overall not bad but not as much as the hype, just have to be real. read more

Bred - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

I found myself in the Dorchester lower Mills area and I was hungry. Usually I go to sweets for something to eat but I was in the mood for something different. I wondered around and found this place. It was a good decision. I only eaten the bred classic which is a well constructed bacon cheese burger. The bacon on it is so good. The patty is always cooked the way I want it. The hand cut fires are a great match eat the burger with. What I love about this place is the music in the background. JayZ, Nas, Fugees, Jill Scott, and many other 90s hip hop and R&B tunes. I don't know of any other place in boston where you could get that feel while eating a delicious burger. This black owned business makes me feel at home. read more

Their grass-fed burgers are delicious and can definitely compete with the burger chains around here. They are worth the difference in cost. I particularly liked that the burgers are so customizable, down to the cook of the burgers (I like mine a nice medium) and the bun type. I also recommend their truffle fries. You can actually smell and taste the truffle oil unlike a lot of places that skimp on it and just slap the label of "truffle" to up-charge their fries. read more

Bravo! This burger is hands down my favorite burger, I love sweet plantains and I'm Haitian, I never thought of putting it on a burger! I got the Maui burger and parmesan truffle fries! They go hand and hand. Salty and sweet. I love this place. Dorchester needed this! Way better than five guy! Update: So I ended up tryin gall the burger and sandwiches. Everything i tried was good even the veggie burger. Always fast service, pleasant staff, and good music. Plus the serve beer and wine, really can't beat that! Keep up the great work! read more

Bred - Bravo! This burger is hands down my favorite burger - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

I was on a trip for the weekend and I heard great things about this new gourmet burger fast food restaurant. Upon entering the establishment, the owner was welcoming and talking to his customers. The restaurant was packed and the food smelled amazing. I ordered the "Bred" with "Parmesan Truffle Fries" and my friend ordered the "Olympus" with "Sweet Potato Fries". I really enjoyed my burger! Also if you love truffles you will love the parmesan truffle fries with the added truffle ketchup. I was happy that a fast food restaurant was generous with their plating and I had enough meat, bacon and toppings. I recommend trying Bred!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the food is delicious. My next trip to MA. I will definitely go back to Bred to order. read more

I love that it's in Dorcester and it's another local restaurant. It deserves a 3.75 for a burger stacked with all the fixings, definitely not stingy on the sides. I love all they did to the interior of the shop. Very friendly staff, just think the Parisian burger is expensive side but I would come back here to try the other burgers and the fries! read more

I was really excited about this place. Probably why it's 2 stars.... I got the veggie burger and it was super....mushy. Needed to be cooked longer or something so it held together better. Too much bread and nothing really special about the toppings. My friend said the burger was good, but he says that about everything. He hasn't asked to go back, so I know he didn't love it. "of course he wouldn't ask to go back" you say, "you didn't like it". Oh, I didn't talk about the Parmesan truffle fries yet. I would go back just for those. And to try the salmon burger. I'll be getting a large fries though, in case it's just as disappointing as the veggie burger read more

The sauce and burger combo was fantastic! I got the impossible burger and my boyfriend got the bred classic and we were pleased!

4.5 stars. Head to Bred: it's the hottest spot in DOT. My Tom Brady smoothie was pretty great! Just like the QB. Not a big smoothie guy, but how could I resist? It sounded delicious. Is that gay? #notthattheresanythingwrongwiththat. I almost never turn down a lean, mean bison burger, so for dinner I got the "Parisian" which features a fried egg along with applewood bacon, brie cheese and much more. I have to say - it's in my top 5 all-time for bison burgers. (we'll say it's #2 behind a place in Whitefish, MT) This little eatery could use more space, especially after it's had it's day on Phantom Gourmet, but we were able to score one of the two tables. My only other criticism belongs to the fries: they were a little on the soggy side; and I've never understood the hype about truffle oil. (my friends shared) Anyway, Bred is one of the best burger joints in Boston without a doubt. I'll be back. read more

**Gluten Free** We were in need of a quick dinner option on a Saturday evening which is often tricky as a GF diner. Bred pulled through! I had the jerk chicken burger and fries with a gluten free bun. The person who took my order even asked if I was GF because of an allergy and was conscientious of my needs. Not to mention the food was amazing. My husband got the Maui burger and loved it too! Highly recommend for take out. Even on a Saturday evening our food was ready and well packaged in 15 minutes read more

Burgers are on point. Fries not so much. Next time I'll skip those. In addition of a variety of in house combination of burgers, you can also build your own for about 7 dollars and 25c per added topping. Salads are also part of the menu. They offer a small variety of beers for also 7 dollars, as well as soft drinks and smoothies. My experience there was pretty good, you can sit and eat at the location, I would definitely go back for another burger. read more

I love a good burger and Bred is the only place that has never failed me. Everything is delicious every time!

Delicious! The 504 fried chicken sandwich was amazing and a great portion size for $12. Will definitely return!

I never like ordering a burger and fries to go...there's just something about eating a freshly prepared burger and hot fries that makes the experience something to write home about. Now onto my review. I initially ordered to go but since there were tons of seats open I decided to stay in. The owner took my order and was helpful in explaining the menu and I sensed a great sense of pride in his voice as he stressed the quality of the meat they serve. I ordered the jerk salmon burger and a small side of parmesan truffle fries. If you like spicy food, like I do, you will love the salmon burger. Spicy but not overwhelming, moist and overall a great patty. The cole slaw helped to cool down the spiciness and the fried onions were a nice addition. The fries were yummy and addictive. For about $15...I didn't order a drink I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I will visit again to try the veggie burger. Bred Gourmet gets busy very quickly but it's worth the wait! read more

Bred - Salmon burger and parmesan truffle fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Dorchester, Massachusetts

I ordered here for the first time the other day and I do not regret it! The order was ready on time and pick up went smoothly especially with all the COVID-19 restrictions. I ordered the Yosemite burger medium-rare and it was literally cooked to perfection. You also have the ability to customize your own burger to fit your own taste which I really appreciate. The parmesan truffle fries were a little soggy when I got them, but that is the only complaint I have about the whole meal! Parking may be a little tough as it is located on a busy street so beware. Overall it was a great meal and I can't wait to order from Bred again! read more

Had Bred for the first time tonight after craving a burger and it did not disappoint. I ordered and paid online around dinner time, and my order was ready within about 20 mins. I opted to build my own burger and it came out perfectly with everything I asked for and cooked medium. I also ordered some truffle fries alongside - the 'small' size is huge and the fries were crispy and delicious. There's a ton of stuff on their menu I'm dying to try, and the menu is highly customizable to fit every craving. I definitely will be ordering from here again soon. read more

Tried takeout here a few weeks ago and this place has been on my bucket list prior to all this pandemic stuff. The way to order is through grub hub which is on their website. It does tell you the wait time. When the order is ready they supposedly will text/email you. Well, that never happened for us. The order was supposed to take about 40 minutes, but it took longer. I called about 10 minutes later and the guy said that it is ready and I should've received an email or text. I told him we didn't. I felt the service wasn't all that great and I know they were busy, but could've been a little more accommodating. Also, I paid for their truffle ketchup (which is on the menu) but didn't receive it. When I called to tell them, he apologized but said that it's been a long time since they offered this. My thought was to take it off the menu then. Overall, it was okay (hence the 3stars), the food was cold (we always preheat our oven beforehand). The food ended up being good when we got home to heat it up. read more
