I love The Mix and every time I do, I make sure to get the salmon sliders. If I don't get that, I get the catfish nuggets. All the food is very tasteful and flavorful. The drinks are also amazing -- I typically go for the strawberry lemon drop and I ask for a little extra strawberry syrup to make it extra sweet. If you're looking for a good spot in Dorchester, The Mix is THE place to go! read more

Don't remember the last time I read reviews that don't describe the venue. I had a FIVE star experience at The Mix. I was greeted upon entry by the owner who immediately sat us, the food came out timely and was on point. Industrial warehouse turned dive bar...relaxed vibe. Shrimp dinner with yams and lobster mac. My lady had the burger w/ cheese. I tried both and watched the game on one of maybe 8 xlarge screen TVs. My waitress was friendly and checked in throughout the night. I thought the drink my lady had was too strong and the up-charge for lobster mac should've been announced (don't think it's on the menu) but otherwise for a professional NY transplant that just moved to N. Dorchester and wants to stay local this is a good option. It's an urban inner city bar with good food and great service. I thought ppl were genuinely friendly- 95% (imo)?receive direct deposit or owned their business. My type of crowd. Give it a try. I'll definitely have The Mix on rotation. read more

I can't come to Boston without stopping by the Mix! Per my last review, the vibes are all right and the food is about the closest you'll get to southern style cuisine. This time I had the lobster tail and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd highly recommend! Oh, and the Philly eggrolls were delicious too! read more

This past weekend while visiting Boston, my family took us to their favorite place to eat and vibe!! The mix was definitely a vibe with great music, food , drinks , and atmosphere! The Dj was amazing! I had the fried salmon slides and they were absolutely delicious! My husband had the Chicken and Waffles which he loved! My cousins had fried wings, French Toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and the home potatoes they said it was great also! I didn't give 5 stars because we did have an issue with the drinks which the waitress didn't communicate they were out of dry ice we ordered certain drinks for the aesthetic! Also all the drinks were served in different glasses we asked the waitress she said they didn't have clean glasses so they have to use the glasses the can for drinks! Other than that the place was nice and I can't wait to visit again! read more

i ordered the yams collard green and friedc lobster it came up to 55 bucks and was not worth it collard greens suck the yams was alright and the lob wasn't all that I would never eat there again maybe the drinks with liquor I'll try read more

I have been to the Mix several times since their opening this year. This place is young and hip and definately is a vibe. The green tea shots are offered as a set of five shots and are so delicious. The burger was alright. I also went for brunch with children and they enjoyed the large pancakes. The chicken and waffles had a granola on it which I was a bit leary about, however, it was surprising delicious. If you're planning on going to brunch on Sundays the atmosphere changes the later it gets in the day. So you decide which side of the vibe you're ready for. You're able to pay with the card machine right in front of you which is a plus. The only downfall is the waitress stands there, which feels like peer pressure, not allowing time for you to view the bill. 20% gratuity is automatically added to the bill and there is an option to leave additional tip. The Mix offers private events, catering, karaoke, and special events. They truly brought downtown uptown! read more

Good vibes, good music, drinks, great service. Enter door to view a split set-up. Left side is the bar side with high tops and the right side has low tables. The Mix is great for celebrating. One inside It makes you feel like you're on vacation. Casual attire. On street parking if you get lucky. There is a small parking lot (~16 cars) across the street from the church. A 3 min walk across. Otherwise take an Uber. Perfect location for meet friends or just grab drinks & a bite. read more

The MIX - Strawberry Jalepeno Margarita - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The service at this restaurant was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive, and did their best to make sure we had a good experience throughout the evening. The staff was definitely the highlight of our visit. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to the price. While the presentation was nice, the meals arrived only lukewarm and weren't as flavorful as expected for the cost. The menu prices suggest a premium dining experience, but the quality and temperature of the food didn't match that expectation. Another downside was the wait time. It took quite a while to receive our drinks, and getting the check at the end of the meal was also much slower than it should have been. The delays made the overall experience feel longer than necessary. We also noticed that our table and chairs were quite wobbly, which made dining uncomfortable and even caused some of our drinks to spill. For a restaurant charging premium prices, basic maintenance and seating comfort should be a priority. Overall, the outstanding service helped make up for some of the shortcomings, but the overpriced food, long waits, and uncomfortable seating would make me think twice before returning. read more

Although the food is good and the music is pumping, the staff there are very rude and irresponsible. We put in our order and waited over 45 minutes asking we is our food the waitress kept saying I'll check on it. Then we ask the manager, the order was never put in. We decided to leave and asked the manager as a professional courtesy if they could wave the cost of our 2 drinks ($43.00). He flat-out refuse and simply walked away. read more

Parking here is very minimal. The service was good, we sat at the bar though- so i cannot speak for the restaurant. The food was good, but what I got was basic chicken and waffles. The music is way too loud, especially during the day. I couldn't hear my friend at all. It's a restaurant. Before 7 the music should be at a level you can hear people speak. But the music was good! Lots of variety. read more

The MIX - Chicken and waffles - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

WoooooW! Amazing amazing let's say amazing. My friends and I went there for brunch and then went back for dinner. The chicken wings dry rub, lobster Mac and cheese, cat fish nuggets and grits and shrimp. Everything was seasoned to perfection, tasty and the music was on point. Sometimes batter is seasoned not the meat. This was perfect all the way to the bone. Def a place I will be visiting often. It also was so refreshing to see that staff were very friendly and knew what to get. Wish they had music outside but that's a minor. If you haven't gone - visit soon, definitely worth the trip. read more

I went to The Mix for the first time this past weekend. They were doing a brunch party, so there were tickets to attend. It was a little confusing because when I arrived it was still early, and not that many people were there. I'm not sure how they differentiate people coming just for brunch and those who are there for the event. They have a pretty limited menu, but I got their chicken and waffles. I liked that the waffles were cut down into fourths. It made it easier to eat, and I liked how they added granola bits to the to the waffles. I never thought to do that, but it added extra crunch and flavor. They had chicken tenders instead of drumsticks or breasts and I actually prefer tenders, so was happy with it. My friend ordered salmon sliders and she said they were good. We both had their mimosas for drinks, and I will say their prices were decent considering drink prices in Boston. I had a strawberry and passion fruit one. My opinion is the passion fruit one was better and seemed a little stronger. I liked the space, and thought there was plenty of room for dining. The DJ played good music, lots of throwbacks, but the music was too loud. My friend and I were right by the DJ booth and could barely hear each other. A couple people asked to be moved because of how loud the music was. I also had to use the bathroom while there, and I was frustrated that there wasn't soap in the dispenser, so they should be sure to check on this. All in all, not a bad experience. If I lived in Boston, I'd probably give them another try. read more

To support any black own business is something I have to be very careful in doing so!! My fist time here and it will be my last time here!!! To have different times frame to what a business supposed to do, website showing that they closed at 11 but Yelp showing 12am... They need to be organized and much more professional... It like they don't want the feedback to how they operate... How they pass Safety is beyond me!!! I had a group of girls suggestion this place for Saturday!!! Naw we will supoort another business that cares more for their company read more

I'd been wanting to try this place after having the chef's catered food at an event last year. I randomly decided to get a to-go order. I got the Lobster BLT with no bacon, candied yams, Mac and cheese, and fries. The sandwich was delicious especially with the special sauce. The Mac and candied yams combo (iykyk) was good too. I wished they gave more macaroni. And the fries weren't anything special, just fries. I ordered to-go but the service could have been so much better and kind. I'm hopeful it'll get better upon my next visit. read more

First of all shot out to the staff for finding my party of three a table even though we didn't have a reservation had to wait 15 minutes. The atmosphere was amazing music was not overbearing and love the seating was able to watch the basketball tournament while eating drinking and talking. The food was amazing the shrimp and grits was out of this world, the home fries were delicious I have never had potatoes seasoned just right and so tender not overcooked or undercooked and the pancakes were so scrumptious. I personally told the owners I will definitely be back for the dinner this time the brunch was a time to remember read more

I made reservations online and it was honored upon walking in to the restaurant. No wait at all and noticed that they put reserved signs on the table. It was around 4 on a Friday so we caught it before it got busy. The bbq steak tips were delicious and tender! Collards were nicely seasoned, and Mac and cheese was decent (didn't care for all the bread crumbs on it). Sweet potato corn bread was good but the glaze was completely melted into a watery/butter form. Sweet and spicy wings were just ok. I didn't care for the sauce and would probably go with a fried chicken instead. The not so good: It was freezing inside. I had to keep my jacket on. Not comfortable at all. Server didn't provide best service and there were times we had to ask other servers for things. I ordered a drink off the still in the mix menu which is basically a mocktail (though they still label it cocktail, that should be changed). I pointed to it on my phone and was sure to say the still in the mix- mix sparkler drink when telling the server what I want. I went over each ingredient listed and told her I would like all those but for the soda water I will only take a splash because I can't have carbonated beverages. I get the drink and it has alcohol in it‍. I was NOT supposed to be drinking!! Our server hadn't returned for a while so I had to tell someone else about the situation and she corrected and communicated with our server. My server came back and said you ordered the mix sampler. So I told her yes I did and showed her what I pointed to. Her response was that the menu changed and she wasn't familiar with the drink that didn't have alcohol. Please rename your drinks to distinguish the mocktail from cocktail and label it as a mocktail. Check time! I get the check after having great food but subpar service. 20% is included which I knew from looking online BUT here's the part that made me chuckle. The bill came out to $130 with 20% tip included (my friend ordered food that I didn't include in the review). The server just presents the slip with total cost. I give her the $150 and she said thank you are you all set? I said no you can bring me the change and the itemized receipt and I will tip from there. She brings it back and as I thought the 20% was included so why she thought I would give her an additional $30 is beyond me. Lastly, I was charged like $15 for the drink though it was supposed to be the mocktail for $7. You know I mentioned it and waited for my $9. Food 7/10. Service in general. 5/10 due to experience with that specific waiter I don't think she was intentionally negligent but she needs to work on her skills and know her menu. Everyone else was nice and attentive . Summary: Good food but please turn up the heat, be more attentive to the tables, know your menu, and don't try to get more out of the tip unless someone decides to give more on their own. read more

EXTRA,EXTRA ! Finally Boston has an Adult place to BRUNCH, I am only speaking of BRUNCH for Now, I will go back to try them at lunch & dinner service. NOW let's talk about the ambiance: the inside was very welcoming and the staff was very friendly I was actually seated by one of the owners and his energetic personality was similar to the vibe of the establishment. LET'S talk eats and beverages I had a expresso martini and it was fair I would have liked the glass to be drizzled with chocolate expresso syrup however it was nice flavor. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles, also at the table was a side of grits, fried shrimp and pancakes . The waffles were crispy on the outside and melt in your mouth delicious they were topped with fresh berries and powdered sugar, the chicken was well seasoned and the crunch was amazingly delicious the cheese grits were flavored to perfection. I actually had an opportunity to speak with the Chef, and his southern roots definitely shows in his cooking which this southern lady enjoyed! I will visit again #themix. read more

Went here to celebrate a birthday. Party of 12. Pros: Ambiance, Music, Drinks, Wings, Mac n cheese, collard greens, margarita flight, candy yams, waitress energy, cool vibe, didn't feel rushed. Cons: tight space, ran out of the flight glasses, very slow service, not enough wait staff, no dancing space, very pricey drinks and shots, parking sucks. They added a 20% tip and the total bill was over $800. I'd return for a date night or order take out. read more

For delivery there iffy, mf wont answer there phone to tell you want is available but will send you whatever they want if you order something and it's not available like no I'm allergic, other then that food is good if you get what you actually ordered read more

I think this establishment is a nice establishment in a convenient location spacious a little bit more than cozy and the staff was super friendly and nice. I tried the lobster BLT and it came out kind of cold and I just really wasn't a fan of the sauce I tried the banana pudding also different and uniquely flavored I was a fan. I also had some french fries and wings both of which I liked well seasoned cooked properly in addition to that I also had some drinks and they were pretty good. read more

Pros: the food was good and reasonably priced. Cons: I wasn't a fan of the music at all. And our app came out with dinner, so the timing was off. read more

I visited The MIX on a Wednesday, April 9, 2025 evening. As I approached I was greeted by a very friendly and courteous host who I think may have been security. He held the door open for me and greeted me with a smile. As I entered the building I was greeted by the host at the front desk, Again was greeted with a smile. As I entered I let her know that I was meeting friends. As I headed towards my seat I noticed the ambiance was very nice. Very modern and eloquent. I loved the music. I ordered the lemon pepper chicken wings to start. The wings came out hot and were absolutely Devine. I also ordered the lobster sliders and they were absolutely delicious. I tasted my friends salmon and it just melted in my mouth with the sauce gave it an extra kick. Oh and ai almost forgot about the sweet potato cornbread, which I've never heard of before, It was very good. My waitress was very nice and courteous. I felt she could have been just a tad bit more attentive but overall my first time visit at The MIX, I would give it 5 stars. I am definitely going back on a party night for sure!! read more

Nah. Never again. The "manager" or lack thereof, was the worst I've ever come across. Type of treatment you would expect in a sundown town or some shit. Just rude and inconsiderate. He kept saying "my restaurant" too, but I know the owners and he was NOT one of them. Just a crab making them look bad. I didn't get his name, but I'm sure you can tell who I'm not referring to by his horrible attitude.How dare you open a spot then treat people like they are a bother when they try to support? Food was not even worth the bad service it came with. I tried to have my father's birthday dinner there, but it wasn't a good choice obviously. I could go into so much more detail, but I won't. Go see for yourself if you don't believe how bad it is in there. No, thanks. Too many other choices. read more

If you're looking for a spot that nails it on flavor and atmosphere, The Mix is where it's at. The food? 10/10 -- every bite is packed with flavor, clearly made with care and creativity. The vibes are just as impressive -- a perfect mix (pun intended) of chill and lively, making it a great place to unwind or catch up with friends. The drinks are decent -- not the standout of the experience, but they get the job done. What really seals the deal is the price range. It's super reasonable for the quality you're getting, which makes coming back an easy decision. I'm a repeat customer and definitely recommend giving it a try. Once you go, you'll probably be one too. read more

An organization I'm a member of had their monthly meet up at The Mix. The seating is very tight and can be hard to get on a busy Friday night. We heard they had a DJ but they didn't have one when we went - there was a playlist with some bangers, but lots of RnB - not quite the vibe I was hoping for post busy work week. Our group tried a bunch of different things - we loved the Sweet & Spicy wings, salmon sliders, and chicken sliders. My friends also enjoyed the Mac & cheese - they said it was well seasoned. The fries weren't great - skip them. I loved my catfish meal with collard greens and sweet plantains. A friend tried the Apple Pie eggroll but said it was over fried and tastes rubbery. While some of the food was good, the service was very slow. We waited while for our food and drinks. I enjoyed my "In the Mix" and my friend liked her "Mix Sparkler." I would return to the restaurant if I were in the area but I wouldn't suggest it for a night out with a large group. Big shout out to the restaurant's manager who tried her best to take care of our group and make sure we had a good experience! read more

Been working in the industry for a decade and can tell this place will not last due to poor management. Besides it being overpriced, the service is horrible. I have been back multiple times and it's the same thing each time - you have to ask for someone to take your order after 10min or so of being looked at and clearly ignored (mind you they aren't even that busy). It is clear the owner is in the business for the wrong reasons - clout. Serving people and a neighborhood is not a priority. It's easy to open up a place and think it's "cool" in a dry city like Boston. The music is always good despite the fact that every DJ doesn't know how to transition and the MC always talks way too much. But that's a Boston issue not just The Mix. It's overall trying to be New York when it just isn't ("bringing uptown downtown", "starlets", and having Dave East and Jim Jones doesn't give you any sort of pass btw) None of it makes sense. You're in the wrong lane and industry. Stay humble. read more

I'll preface do not waste you time coming to this establishment. I should've been prepared especially with the previous comments regarding the customer service. However, this was a piss poor experience. For starters there was not working a/c we were not aware prior to be seated (with a heat advisory warning outside). Our waitress Julia was attentive and tried to address the issue. Jabari the manger did not handle the situation well and was not accommodating of his customers not even introducing himself when walking over to our table he was hostile which was very disappointing especially since we as group spent $250+ in there establishment and drove over an hour to support this black business. So to only be accommodating 15% for this inconvenience and the gratuity is already 20% was not adequate for this experience. Take your money elsewhere. read more

Highly dissatisfied with the service I received while dining at the bar with a group of friends. Bartender was quite rude and didn't seem to even care after I complained about my drink . Customer service clearly not her strong point. Overpriced drinks. Food was good ,only good thing about this place . Tip was also included in the bill, so pay attention to this when dining here . Makes sense why the bartender seemed like she didn't care to be there the tip was already included . read more
