Just waited for an hour to be seated outside to no avail. Approached the hosts multiple times and they said we were in line, then watched them seat other parties in front of us. Not at all sure why, but don't expect this place to honor anything. read more

The food was fine. The music was so loud and so many people talking you couldn't hear anything. We had a big group reservation which they didn't even give us enough chairs for our table. Our server was snippy and rude. It would be a cool place but it's not. read more

This place is great! Great atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. We walked in on a Friday night and were able to get a table on the lower level. I had the Division 16 burger and it was delicious. I also had a Naughty Hot Chocolate that was amazing and was exactly what I needed after a long day. I highly recommend this place. Great people, great place to watch a game or just hang out. read more

The food was okay. Not great. Not terrible. It definitely felt like we were an inconvenience to the waitress. They were out of all of the seasonal beers. That would have been nice to know before you give us a menu with the seasonal beers listed as options. One in our party had had something special from the bar 2 months ago. When he asked for it again, she was adamant that they had never served that before. So the customer doesn't remember what he had??? It's okay if you don't have it now, but don't tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about. Inside was full so we had to sit outside. No problem. There were heaters. The temperature was in the 50s, but we had to ask for heaters to be turned on. And then the one closest to us didn't work. We were also given the wrong specials menu so when someone in our party asked for something on that menu, she had to rethink what she ordered. Then in the end, we were never asked how to divide the check. We were obviously two families each with a young adult child. Three and three made sense. At the end, when we asked to divide it that way, she said we usually like you to tell us in the beginning.... You mean like we'd like the waitress to tell us that a large portion of what's on the menu isn't actually available???? Did she ask us how we wanted the check divided? I'm usually very understanding of wait staff because I know it's not an easy job. But it's just not good business to make me feel like I'm wrong when I really didn't do anything wrong and actually tried to be really nice the whole time. I know the customer is not always right. But tonight... I was. read more

I love Dillon's!!! They have a lot of cool specials added to the menu regularly. They make a great Caesar salad. The patio is amazing, has heaters and is dog friendly. Also love how the back turns into a dance floor on weekend nights sometimes. Great staff :) read more

Sat at bat on college football Sat and had a great afternoon. Ordered a Manhattan and Nashville Chicken Sandwich. The sandwich was delicious with just enough spice and tang. Bartenders were very attentive. Would absolutely go back. read more

Long wait to even be seated, would look at people waiting for table and ignore them. Staff not friendly. Food was not good enough for the price point. Manager openly having a long conversation with friends who came to visit while one staff member manned a full bar alone. Save your time and money and go to any other of the hundreds of restaurants nearby read more

Great food. The lobster roll and seafood nachos where great. Not my atmosphere, but good service and food. read more

Food and service were excellent. New Speakeasy downstairs was top notch! Will definitely be back

Beautiful presentation of the double lobster roll which comes with New England Clam Chowder and a healthy serving of French Fries. Amazing location, very busy crowd at nights however the open layout of the establishment makes it work. Now on to the review of the food - this was one of the three chowders I had while visting Boston. The Chowder was perfect and fresh (almost too perfect - read on). When I came to Boston for Memorial Day Weekend I sought out a locally made fresh as can be filled NE clam chowder with tons of seafood in it. This one had the best tasting broth, freshest potatoes, and the clams that were present were extremly good. After a few bites and being extremely critical (acknowledging my own food snobbishnesh) only faults are : could have been more seafood in the chowder and there was not anything extremely unique about the chowder as a whole. I stand by my statement this was the best of the three chowders I tried in the Boston area - the other two were more unique espescially the one I ordered at LIR however like anything in life its your personal preference on what you are looking for. Is it a good bowl of chowder or a unique one of a kind chowder? I recommend this spot for the view, location, great price points, and do not think you will be disappointed. As always people SYOY!!!! read more

Nice atmosphere. Food is better than you'd expect from a bar. Service sucks... not only inexcusably slow, but super shitty attitude too.

I stopped by Dillon's for a quick drink at 8:15pm on a Sunday. The place was pretty empty, and I asked the host to be sat with my two friends on the patio that had nice ambiance with string lights to enjoy the warm summer evening. She told us we had to sit at the bar inside, since the patio was only for customers ordering food. That seemed quite odd to me on an evening where there are not many patrons but we sat inside and ordered at the bar. My cocktail, Diablo Rosa, didn't have much flavor and seemed watery. It was definitely overpriced for what it was. This is a very average bar, if you are just going to drink it is a decent option. read more

Not the place to get a margarita.... My bestie and I stopped in here on a Sunday night for some drinks and quickly left after we finished our firsts. The spicy watermelon marg is all spice and no watermelon. The tiki marg is all cherry and ... that's about it! Indoor and patio seating available. We were told you have to order food in order to sit on the patio so we settled for inside! read more

Food was good, had a reservation and they took us in immediately. Definitely loud atmosphere, out on the patio was a little quieter and thankfully where I had made our reservation. read more

Nice place, but the staff is rude! Including the manager on duty. Not coming back here for sure... read more

Alabama fans... Bama in Boston's game watching parties at Dillons are an absolute blast. The bar food is good, TVs all on the Alabama game in the back area (with sound), and the staff plays music during the commercials (Dixieland Delight, etc.). I was a little too excited to learn that have Yellow Hammers, and they ended the game with Rammer Jammer and everything. If you can't make it to the stadium, this is the next best thing. read more

Seriously this place is better than the reviews. The service is great with friendly staff. I had the Nashville Chicken sandwich and thought it was fantastic. Not sure why people are eating it lower. I would recommend a stop here for a beer and a bite to eat or to watch a game. read more

Dillon's is a cool spot in the Back Bay/Berklee College of Music district of Boston. My friends and I were looking for a place that takes reservations and is COVID-friendly with outdoor seating, and this place had both! They have a pretty decent alcohol selection here, and the food wasn't bad either! I will be honest, I do not remember what I got. If you are looking for an outdoor bar with seating in Boston, this place will fulfill your basic necessities for that! read more

We arrived at the restaurant, and there was a wait. Which is usually not an issue at all. We went up to the bar to order drinks and were curtly told by the very rude bartender that there was an additional bar downstairs, meanwhile, there were plenty of spaces at the bar and he could've served us. Definitely not the vibe we wanted. read more

Everyone who works at Dillons is so nice and helpful! The food and drinks are great and the ambiance can't be beat, especially on Red Sox game days!! read more

This might be the worst bar I've ever been to. The service is horrendous, barely can get the bartenders attention. When we finally got their attention the drinks were so watered down, barely any alcohol at all. Got a whiskey sour, could taste zero Jameson. Ridiculous. Only go here if you overpriced and underwhelming drinks. Will never come here again. read more

I'm honestly shocked to see that this rating is so low. This is a place I'd never been to but always walked by and thought it looked nice. I was told that they have an impeccable patio setup for the pandemic, so myself and 2 other people decided make a reservation a Friday night. The setup did not disappoint! There were many heat lamps, and they weren't the ones that look like giant lanterns that barely heat 2 feet in front of itself, these were nice lamp-like heaters that were mounted to the perimeter of the patio and were tilted down towards the tables. Truly couldn't have asked for better. I had a hoodie and a coat on during 34° weather and I was honestly a totally comfortable temperature. Who would've ever thought dining outside in the middle of February in Boston would be nice! I'll also note that we did request to be seated as close to a heater as possible. The way it's setup is that they have "walls" around the side, but no roof and no front so there's plenty of air circulation. When you're seated though, you don't feel the wind slapping at you since there's technically a "wall" beside you. Throughout our stay, you could see the staff actively sanitizing tables, everyone was wearing their masks correctly and they made a point to mention to have your mask on if you were to get up from your table. This is just overall a great place to go if you're a covid conscious person. The drinks are also quite good and some of them are very strong as well. I had the winter bull drink special and it was poured great and they gave me the whole Red Bull can as well. I then had a Grape Crusher was was delicious but I didn't think it was worth the price tag. (More on prices later) The food was very alright. It wasn't necessary anything to write home about but it also didn't disappoint. We had the mozzarella sticks which were great and I absolutely loved the fact they were served with vodka sauce. The fried pickles were yummy too and in abundance, though I wish the sauce those came with was a little more flavorful. I got the Buffalo Mac bowl which definitely was good but the toppings were just a little much and the actual pasta didn't really have much cheese on it. The chicken itself was good. I just think it has way too much carrots, Brussels sprouts, and bacon since I thought they would just be toppings but they were really an equal ingredient to the pasta. Overall, I absolutely think that the food is overpriced for what it is. That being said, this is back bay so that's literally the trend for the whole area. Do I think $14 for chicken tenders with no fries is absurd? Yes of course, but walk down the street and it's gonna be the same thing anywhere else in the area. At least they're local instead of nearby chains. The drinks are fairly priced and poured. I think this ultimately is a great place to come and have some apps and drinks. The reason it gets major points is because their Covid patio setup is unmatched for the winter time. read more

Only thing good about this place is location. Visiting from out of town didn't have Modelo at all!! Food was served barely warm. Male bartender spent most of his time on his phone rather than seeing if we needed more drinks? Owner of this bar definitely needs a bar rescue!!!! This bar has so much potential for it's location! Will not recommend this bar to friends visiting Boston!! read more

I've never been so disrespected, they won't serve anyone that wants a drink and is willing to spend money

This is a great spot to grab some good apps! I enjoyed all of their small bites and sitting outside with the heated patio! My personal faves are their drive thru chicken Sammy and border fries! I personally did not love the moms melt because it seemed to be a little plain. I would definitely come again! read more

I love this place. Best espresso martini I ever had, and whatever the rumchata patron drink was , so good. I like the vibe in there and the workers were exceptionally nice. Good pricing too for cocktails compared to like anywhere else in Boston read more

Just a few steps from the Hynes Convention Center in The Back Bay. I had walked past the night before and the place was packed with a lively crowd, so I decided to check it out for lunch the next day. Had a blackened grilled chicken Caesar salad for lunch. The bar tender was friendly. The salad was good, nothing special, but it is a salad and there's only so much that can be done. When I go back, I'm trying something else since the menu looked good. read more

Pretty average brunch today and considering the price of the meal that's not totally okay. I got the lobster Benedict and it was honestly just bland, like the hollandaise was just water or something - even with hot sauce it didn't improve and for $30 just not acceptable. I also got the Maggies par-tea cocktail which was fine also, stronger on the matcha than then other flavours. We also never got the donuts that we ordered. My friend enjoyed the chicken sandwich. read more

The cocktails are always amazing. The menue is small but everything on it is great definitely check out brunch

So honestly not a terrible bar but the bartender is a jerk and because of that I will never attend again. Did I bring a beer from home into the bar? yes. Did I also spend over $30 on 3 (yes just 3) mediocre shrimp tacos? yes. Did I also convince over 12 people to attend their establishment and spend at minimum similar amounts of money while watching a Bruins game? yes. And really the only regret I have is spending money in the bar and convincing others to do so because after all the money was spent, the jerk bartender decided he really saved the establishment by kicking me out because he discovered I brought a beer from home. Boston is expensive and I couldn't afford a drink AND food. I get it but will not attend or ask my friends to ever attend again. As a former service worker I usually completely relate, but getting a high out of kicking a 25 year old out after drinking 1 (just 1) of her beers from home after spending THIRTY DOLLARS on food, honestly mean and I'm just a girl. read more

We stopped in here for a drink and as soon as we were seated they told us we had to order food as well. Ok, haven't had that happen before but if that's their rule then that's what it is. We had already had dinner so we asked the waitress what she recommended. She said the s'mores desert was great. We got that and the desert was served in a skillet and it almost tasted like they hadn't cleaned it out all the way. I usually don't waste food but we couldn't finish it. Drinks were fine and service was fine. Maybe we just got the wrong dish but I prefer that my desert doesn't taste like old Mac and cheese... read more

PROS: - Great service. Our waiter was such a sweet heart. - Great atmosphere. If it were a bit warmer I think the outside patio would have been a really nice place to enjoy a meal. CONS: - The food is on par, not incredibly great but not incredibly terrible either. Would be open to give this place another try but the menu itself didn't perk my interest that much (which is why I chose the classic Mac N Cheese). SPECIFICS: - Double Lobster Roll = Did not get to taste this myself (my friend ordered it) but from the looks of it, it looked great. The lobster was plentiful and looked really fresh with a nice sharp red color in contrast to the white of the lobster meat. Came with fries and a clam chowder, which I felt makes it worth the market price. - Mac n Cheese = Creamy and cheesy. Great texture where it's not too dry but nor was it soaked in a cheese soup. The crumbles on it were crispy as they should be. Didn't give this place a higher rating just because Mac n Cheese is good but average. OVERVIEW: Would I come here again? Sure, if a friend had been the one to choose the place. I'm open to give this another shot but the menu didn't seem especially enticing. Would most likely order that lobster roll the next time I'm here. Instagram @bowtiebowie for more food adventures! read more

One of the worst restaurants I've been to in Boston. The service was horrible and our waiter (blond girl in the outside patio) was incredibly rude and unprofessional. On top of that, the food was also inedible. I received an overcooked, burnt, and cold burger that tasted like charcoal. Please don't waste your money here and go somewhere else unless you want bad food and getting snapped at by the waiters. FYI this is my first yelp review and I'm only leaving it because I've never had such a horrible experience at a restaurant before. read more

Went for Arsenal v. Folsom game. Tried the double smash burger, quinoa burger & Marsala wings. All were good. Got there around 11:45. Standing room only during busy game days, otherwise, you have to get there very early to grab a bar seat or high top. Can get very loud inside, so if you're not into noise, I'd try visiting on a day there aren't any games. read more

i love coming to dillon's to watch boston sports games! there can sometimes be a wait but it hasn't been too bad. i love that they're one of the only places in the city that have fried pickles. their food isn't anything crazy. my roommate loves the cheeseburger egg rolls or a regular burger. i like their veggie burger, but vegetarian/vegan i don't recommend ordering the salads. good sports bar atmosphere with an awesome outdoor patio read more
