Had such a great experience here. Amazing menu, something for everyone. Pizza, burgers, tacos, salads, seafood, etc. The poke bowl was really delicious and I loved the edamame and avocado mixed in. Very generous portion. My mom said the lobster roll was good too and we both loved the sweet potato fries with the honey mustard dipping sauce. Our server Edwin was so amazing and friendly. We are new to the neighborhood and he gave us a lot of insider recommendations and was overall very accommodating. All the employees here were very nice. Ambiance here is more elevated than a typical bar. Seems like a good spot to get a drink and eat some really good food. read more

It was very crowded in there and loud when we got there. The service was good no complaints there. It's just the food wasn't good. The only thing we enjoyed was the Thai chili wings and fries. I'm not willing to come back and try and again. read more

Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of our food,, but my shrimp scampi, and my salad was delicious, the service was a bit screwed up unfortunately, several people at our table got the wrong order and we had to wait an additional 20 minutes. The ambience was very chill. Will definitely be back on my next visit. I came for the #SayYesToTheDress. Moment. #MyBabiesGettingMarried.#WeekendVibes. read more

Not sure why the poor reviews. Came in for late dinner, atmosphere is a loud but classy sports bar vibe. Two large bar areas, dinning area, with multiple TVs with live sports. They do happy hour Monday- Friday Happy Hour 4-6pm. With $1 oysters! We were too late for happy hour but from a local friend's recommendation, this was the spot for a good Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. It is listed as Hot Chicken Sub, and it is some of the best I've had!! I would HIGHLY recommend with the truffle fries as a side. I'd come back again for this every time! Great service from the staff and they also recommended the sub as well. would definitely give this place a try! read more

Very well, where do I begin... Devlins may be the hub of what me and my neighbor friends call the "Trifecta" of downtown Brighton pubs. Let's just say we come here often . Food and vibes are great, it's genuinely always a good time. Great bar to make new friends and hang with existing + friendly/fun staff make an experience, not just a drink . I love the food, the rotating food/drink specials are awesome- the new items keep it interesting while we often go back to regular menu staples. In addition to things pictured here I really enjoy the Irish Curry, Reuben, lobstah roll/fish n chips, clam chowder, etc etc. Highly recommend if you are in the area + check out sister restos Bodega/Porter Belly's. See you there! read more

Always recommend this place to anyone visiting BC area. VERY attentive staff and such a good menu with a wide variety to make anyone happy. Their specials always hit! read more

Not sure why Devlin's only has 3 and 1/2 stars. I had a solid 4 and 1/2 star experience here for lunch on a weekday. I will go with a round up 5 to help their average. I looked at some of the negative reviews and saw two themes ... people who don't write many reviews and brunch. Take that for what it is worth. I was impressed with all the seating here. Very chill vibe and space thru out. They also played some good tunes when I was in. Maybe the highlight for me was that Devlin's has a really great outdoor area. Seems perfect for taking advantage of the nice days in the Northeast. I am from MA but live in Miami now ...and know how much you want to take advantage of all the nice days in this neck of the woods. I experienced Exceptional service ...from the time I was greeted thru the whole meal, I could not have asked for more. Gabriella waited on me and she was perfect, very efficient and friendly. I ordered a couple of IPAs and a Reuben. I asked for a modification on my sandwich. There was no problem with that and it came out as requested. I noticed some Vegan friendly options on the whole menu. I would take my vegan lovers here. I saw some Fried Plantain Tacos that looked perfect for them on the menu. Overall two thumbs up. Devlin's hit the spot. Cheers. read more

Lovely to eat outside on a nice day! Really enjoyed the setting. The food was ok but nothing amazing. The frozen mule was unique, but I ordered the peach one and didn't taste much peach. I did really enjoy the truffle fries and the pretzels were pretty good. I also ordered the Cesar salad which was ok. It was a bit upsetting though that the focaccia croutons were more like shavings of crouton. read more

The food here is really good. But last night I sat at the bar and it wasn't a good experience. They were very understaffed and it was difficult to get a drink from the one bartender fielding the orders of a whole restaurant. And - this was gross - it was dirty. I was surprised. Yuck. read more

Good food and drinks, went before a concert and not busy at all on a Tuesday. Definitely would come back. Reuben, poke bowl, Piri chicken and chicken Marsala pasta were all delish read more

Came here for brunch and the bennie was pretty good but nothing memorable. The drinks left a lot to be desired. The bloody mary looked pretty from the garnishes, but was very bland, it tasted like plain tomato juice with a touch of horseradish - no Worcestershire or anything to add flavor or dimension. The Irish coffee also looked nice but the booze had a really sharp bite and left me with an immediate headache, even several glasses of water and Advil hours later. Service was good and the ambiance was nice. If the drinks had been better I'd return for drinks, but they were bad-mediocre. The draw for us was boozy brunch, maybe we should have ordered beer instead of cocktails. read more

Drinks are good, restaurant is nice, service is decent, but the food is exceedingly mediocre. We got burgers and they were extremely soggy and obviously purchased frozen and thawed patties (from Cisco or something similar). Everything could've used more seasoning and flavor. read more

Today, we were rudely accosted by an employee at Devlins. We live nearby, around 20 minutes by walk. We also have a service animal. So today, we chose to try Devlins patio. We trekked over in this awful humidity, were about to be sat, when this woman told us dogs are not allowed on the patio. The host and I both spoke up that our dog was a service animal, but this woman demanded to know what service task the dog performs. I informed her that she performs grounding and calming services for my partner, who is diagnosed with a mental illness and has paperwork to a service animal for this illness. Immediately, she responded that those are not real tasks and asked how they are acts of service. This required me to disclose my partners mental illness which made us both uncomfortable. my partner should not be expected to disclose her illness in order to explain the task to proprietors. At this point, the woman's aggression and inappropriate questions had begun to overwhelm my partner, who decided that we should just leave rather than continue to argue. We will not be back. read more

I love Devlin's! Love the people and kind staff that add charm to little ol' Brighton :) Food: The small plates make it great for conversation. I love the Korean cauliflower - sweet, tangy, and crisp! The antipasti plate was good for a shareable snack. Drinks: Summer sangria is always a hit! The bartender was so nice. Tip well because he was working 3 jobs as a father! Ambiance: I recommend especially for the summer sitting outside on their patio seating! At night, the string lights add fun read more

Great place. Comfortable atmosphere and super friendly waitress. I had special grilled cheese for dinner which was delicious. Got side of Brussels sprouts as side and got a nice large portion of perfectly cooked sprouts, not a skimpy amount like I feared! Most impressive was the many options for my gluten free wife. Rolls for only a $1 upcharge, pizza, and lots of apps and sides. Everything was delicious. If we lived closer this would definitely be on our regular restaurant rotation! read more

Food: we got the chicken birria quesadilla, tuna, Poké bowl and Nashville chicken Caesar wrap. Everything was prepared well, I love the tuna poke mix with the sweet soy sauce which made every bite with the rice perfect. The quesadilla was pretty good. It's simple with cheese and chicken seasoning. The guacamole that came with the quesadilla was pretty good, but I do think the birria sauce could be more flavorful. It was a little bit bland. Service: we sat at the bar and our bartender was really attentive and made sure that we had everything we need for our meal. Ambiance: it's a pretty casual vibe with a wide range of audience coming in to either watch the game or just getting a quick bite. It's rather spacious having two sides of the bar and a full selection of dining and patio seating. Location accommodation: there is parking on the side throughout the street. read more

Such a chill spot for a casual drink with friends. So cozy especially in the winter time.

I would give 3.5 if I could. Service was great. I tried my daughter's pesto filled gnocchi and it was divine. My husband enjoyed his generous serving of fish and chips. My steak tip salad was a disappointment. The tips were cooked just as asked, but were very bland. I like that they leave a carafe of water on the table. The other diners with me enjoyed their selection of adult beverages. I like that the use Toast for settling the bill so my credit card isn't taken away from me. read more

Love this place! They have a really cute outdoor area which is perfect for weekend brunch. We started with some iced coffee and cocktails. The strawberry lemonade and prickly pear margs were awesome. The service was a little slow, but no big deal. I had the chicken + waffle sandwhich which was served with sweet potato tots. It was monstrous and I had two meals out of it! The sandwich had two huge fried chicken cutlets, a sunny egg, bacon, and guac. There was maple syrup and habanero salso on the side. This was a huge splurge for me and it was so worth it!! YUMMM. read more

We stopped at this location because it was close to where we were staying. We were delightfully surprised with the atmosphere, quality of the dishes, and overall experience. The pumpkin ravioli was sweet and savory wrapped into one. The mozzarella sticks were juicy and crunchy with a chunky, garlicky, tomato sauce. The Italian Sausage Bucatini could've passed for handmade pasta. It was the perfect combination of saucy and cheesy with al dente broccolini and Italian sausage which was flavorful, without being overpowering. The pumpkin cheesecake was decadent, but the honeycomb ice cream was the star of that show. We couldn't get enough of the fresh strawberry combined with the ice cream. read more

Great restaurant and bar. Gabrielle was an amazing server and food spectacular. Can't wait to try more entrees!

It has a somewhat welcoming atmosphere. I say this only because my friend had a crutch so they did accommodate her by seating us near the bathrooms. The service was not desirable. We waited about 15 minutes before someone came over to introduce themselves as our waiter. The waiter did apologize for the wait but I found it odd that no one came in to check in on us before then. I ordered the fajitas. They did not come out sizzling like the other tables order that I witnessed about 5 minutes earlier. There was also a hair in my sour cream. At that point, I was completely over the experience and felt too uncomfortable to complain about it. This was my first time here, and I will not be back. I just moved back to the area and was hoping to have a great spot to bring out of town folks to dine, this will not be here. It was a definite miss for me which was super disappointing considering the great reviews I had seen. read more

Great bar/restaurant. The drink list was creative and perfectly seasonal. I had the summer sangria and it was unique and delicious. The options of food origins and flavors is vast. I ended up getting a chicken Caesar salad, which was perfect, but, I wanted to get the chicken Lo mein. Our friends ordered the smoked brisket sandwich which looked phenomenal. Massive as well. We also stared with the foot long cheese stick, the best nachos in town, and cauliflower that was to die for. The service is the best, the waitress did an amazing job taking care of our loud party of 8. The manager came over a couple times to check on us, even gave one friend a free desert for the occasion. I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Had a great time here. I hadn't been in a number of years and it was better than I remembered it. The food was outstanding. We got a mix of apps and meals we shared. A sausage and pasta with broccoli rabe and vodka sauce dish was beyond description delicious. The pepperoni pizza was excellent and the burrata was maybe the best I've had. The pretzel bites were good too. Inventive cocktails in addition. The outdoor deck is among the best in Boston as well. Highly recommend. read more

Always good food with seasonal choices. Welcoming staff. Good brunch. Street parking available.

This place is great! They add new things to the menu every season but keep the classics. I've been coming here for years and the staff is really amazing. Even during busy hours they work to make sure you're taken care of. During Covid they have made sure everything is clean but still offer specials and try to make customers happy. The truffle fries come out steaming hot and so delicious. The steak and fish are always great things to order. You can't really go wrong with anything on the menu. My favorite drink is the blackberry lemonade. In the hotter months, you can sit outside on their patio too which is nice. Definitely a spot you can always go to knowing you'll have a good meal and good service. read more

Great bar in downtown Brighton for meeting with friends/watching a game/grabbing something to eat. Ive been around 10 times and the food was great 9 of those times. Great flatbreads, burgers, appetizers, etc. Drinks are hit or miss. Amazing espresso martini, horrendous sangria (the waitress even warned us, we should have listened). I get their spicy margarita, and its pretty solid. Great service, ambiance, lots of TV's for games. I come pretty frequently for a reason! read more

Used this beautiful weather as an excuse for Saturday brunch at Devlins! We showed up a little after 10am and were the first ones there! Seating inside looked nice but we opted for outside. They have quite a large patio, with a small outdoor bar area with tvs. It got busy by 12 so make sure to have a reservation or get there on the earlier side. Menu had a great range of options and tons of vegetarian options too. We ordered the breakfast tots, avocado toast, and veggie shakshuka. Food was great all around and while we didn't get any drinks the drink menu looked great. Staff was attentive and again the outdoor seating was great! Prices were a little high but not bad at all. A fun brunch spot if you don't wanna go downtown. Brunch menu isn't available online but I attached some images. read more

Great spot in Brighton center and great people working there .. food wise was up to par and somewhat exceeded my expectations.. I got a steak salads medium rare and it's cooked perfectly now I would like it. It was a pretty big portion with decent price. I also had steak with mash potatoes and asparagus here before also and it's average and I think they could have done better with Marinating. All in all it's a great spot to come by for drinks and grab a good decent meal once the lockdown's over . read more

If you are going to have a cheat day there's nothing better than sriracha tatter tots and eggs Benedict with lox. Our server was knowledgeable of the menu and another staff member from afar noticed my friend split something on her own handbag, so she brought her some club soda. Her efforts were greatly appreciated! The brunch food was good nothing spectacular though. Personally, I wasn't keen on our dining location in the restaurant. The booth was a bit small for five girls and my server charged me for something my friend ordered. I'm sure it was an honest mistake. read more

Would not recommend this restaurant. We went here with my family for lunch and had a horrible experience. Our food took over 45 minutes to come out, and once it did, all of our meals were cold to the touch. I found hair in my tomato bisque soup and my brother, who has specifically asked for gluten free bread, had terrible stomach issues as they neglected to account for this, yet still charged us for the gluten free addition. When we addresses these issues with the waitress, she dismissed all of our concerns. Would suggest you look elsewhere. read more

Everything was way overpriced for its quality. For example, I ordered 2 appetizers (the salmon ceviche and popcorn shrimp) each for $13. The salmon ceviche was served with rebought stale tortilla chips u could find at any convenience store and the fish tasted as if it was out for a while. The shrimp poppers were not bad but definitely not worth $13. The drinks had no flavor as if they were watered down. I ordered a spicy marg and couldn't taste any lime juice or spice until the very end of the drink. Thank god our server took off half the price of our final bill once we discovered a hair in our chips... long story short, I'm not coming here again. Ps: I usually don't go around giving places negative reviews.. I'm not that petty. BUT, seeing how this was the place I decided to spend my Friday date night... I wish I could have made a more informed decision by reading a truthful review. read more
